pop up on our Instagram. But we will be discussing the results of that poll at the end of the podcast. So make sure you hang in there for then. We were thinking about doing it at the front here. Oh, no. But of course that would murder and do irreparable damage to the flow of the show through the podcast. You can't go back in time because you mess with the future. Exactly.

Is that exactly? It's Back to the Future 2, isn't it? It's all of the Back to the Futures exactly? It's Back to the Future 2, isn't it? It's all of the Back to the Futures. All of the Back to the Futures. See you soon, smart stuff. Thank you, Sam.

Lots has changed since you were gone. Do you know how long I've been requesting for new fader covers? Yeah, but as soon as Jared had to touch those manky things, they were like, we'll fix them for you, mate. So for people who don't know, to explain what a fader cover is. Well, so there's like a little silicon or a plastic cover that goes over the fader, which goes up and down. So I can like... The fader is essentially a volume.

So this is the faders at zero. And then I go like this. I do up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Now it's party time. Yeah, I'll bring it down, I'll bring it down. And I can do that with the nice new fader cover. Wow. Wow, aren't we special?

to just go back to Tumblr this weekend. You know, just... Tumblr. What was Tumblr? Yeah, what was Tumb know, just Tumblr. What was Tumblr? Yeah, what was Tumblr, boy? What was its thing? I don't know.

Pictures? Vloggy? It was like, in the early days, it was like vloggy. Oh, bloggy. You'd put a photo up and write a little prose about it. Yeah.

And then in 2018, it said, no more boobs. And everyone was like Alright we'll catch you later See you bye See you bye And then this week Tumblr have said

Hey boobs Hey boobs come back Hey boobies They've welcomed boobs back With open arms And doodles Doodles as well And doodles

Doodles as well So they've said Welcome back doodles Welcome back bums Welcome back balls Welcome back boobs Welcome back Fannies. But they don't want them

all jiggling. Fannies? But they're not allowed to be touching, you see. Yeah, or jiggling. What do you mean they're not allowed to be touching?

Well, they want an arty. Oh, like a genie to genie. Yeah. Yes, no sex. Or a buzzy to buzzy. No sex. But you can just have it out. Have it out,

but you can't be using it. Yeah, right. You know? It's like an ornamental fire extinguisher. You can look at it, Just have it out. Have it out, but you can't be using it. Tumblr.com. Yeah, right, you know. It's like an ornamental fire extinguisher. You can look at it, but it's not. You've never used Tumblr. I've never used Tumblr. I thought you would have been a Tumblr kid.

No, I was a MySpace girl. Yeah, Tumblr was after MySpace. No, I went from MySpace to Facebook. Wow, you missed the whole Tumblr thing. I didn't do anything like that. I missed Tumblr. Okay. the whole Tumblr thing. I didn't do anything like that. I missed Tumblr. Right, yeah. So that's Tumblr's back.

But you're not going back just because the boobs are back. Yeah. There's top six other reasons to go back to Tumblr this weekend. Well, speaking of Tumblrs, New World have launched. Did you like that? Oh, he is back. Did you like that? I'm back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am back. Holy. I am back. With seamless seg, yeah. I am back. Holy. I am back. Hold your majoli. With seamless segues because New World have a counter to the bricks. The countdown bricks. Countdown bricks are happening.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, Countdown at the moment have a new collectibles. The bricks, like the Lego. Not called Lego for obvious trademark reasons. I've seen they've started highlighting my, because the main farmer they're using to promote these bricks, undeniably they've stolen my image.

And your wife's. Yeah, and me and my wife. Your ambiguous wife. Yeah, and I see now that they've pivoted, obviously, fearing legal action from yours truly, to my Māori counterpart, someone sent me a picture of another person they've started promoting and said,

this would be you if you were Māori. And it's me if I was Māori. Wow. Somebody even accused me of brick blackface. Cancelled. And I said, no, it's easy to do when you're a brick. You just pop the head off and pop another one back on. Right.

Yeah. Problem solved. Yikes. Well, there's easy to do when you're a brick. You just pop the head off and pop another one back on. Right. Yeah. Problem solved. Yikes. Well, there's nothing in the bricks for me. I don't find. No, they're not for me either. They're not for me. They're for kids.

The last one they did, they did the, was it like Sistema or Clack Clack? What did they do last time? Yeah, it was Sistema. They did like containers. That wasn't for me either. They do containers. And the last one you all did, that wasn't for me either. KitchenAid cookware.

Yeah, it was nice, but it was just too hard to collect. And I was like, it's just too hard. Or was that the pie dishes and the one that was perfect for a baked brie? Cast iron, I got the baked brie. Well, New World, I tell you what, shots fired because they've shot back at Countdown with premium glasses. And I tell you what. So the thing about the glasses, it's not child driven.

It's not like the ones that are targeted at children. The children get fanatically and they get one and then another one. Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum. No, I think this will be like the Smeg knives. Yeah, it just went crazy. Also, my Smeg knife, how long ago was that? Still cuts me to shreds. Yeah, Smeg knives are great.

But also, knives are one of those things, like buying knives, you're like, oh, is that the right one for me? And they're very expensive, and it's a massive, it's almost like a lifelong investment buying a good set of knives. Whereas glassware, you buy four of of them you smash one of them so you smash another one because you can't have it on number that's just the rules and then you've only got two of them and you've

got friends come over so you just nip out and you just hurriedly buy a glassware i don't think glassware's got the buy in that knives no i'm in i'm i'm in so it's a it's a brand called how would you say that spiegler it's big glass yeah that's a brand called, how would you say that? Spiegler? Spiegler? Yeah, that's quite a famous. I recognise the brand. Famous glasshouse, yes. Like a famous European brand.

So you can get a mixed drink glass set, long drinks, beer glasses, wine glasses, red wine glasses, and cocktail glasses. Oh, they look nice. And, yeah, you either get 40 stickers Or you get X amount of stickers You know ranging from 25 to 40 stickers Depending on the glass A big pardon

Two glasses How much does How much does it cost for each sticker $20 for a sticker Which is cheaper than Countdown Because their ones are $30 for the farm

For the farming bricks Aren't they Yeah So Yeah so say you want But you can't buy the farming bricks You can buy You can buy Lego sets But you can't buy the farming bricks. You can buy Lego sets, but you can't buy specific farming bricks.

Yeah, no. Whereas you can go and buy these glasses, because tell me again- I'm all for this. How much per- It's funny because- $20 per sticker, and then you need how many stickers?

Well, say you wanted the cocktail glasses. They're the fancy ones. That's 40 stickers. 40 stickers. That's $800 a set of glasses. And how many are you getting? They retail for $50. Just go buy them, guys.

Just go to Briscoe's when they're having a sale and buy them. But don't go today to Briscoe's. Briscoe's has their sales on Thursdays and the weekend. If you go on Friday, you're a damn fool. Do they? When do they go Thursday, take a break Friday, back into a Saturday? Every Thursday is a Briscoe sale. Yeah, but I thought it carried on.

No, no. When does it stop? It has a little pause on a Friday. They put up everything saying sale, sale, sale, take it all down. Unless it's a promo that's like Easter or like long weekend or whatever. Every single Thursday. That's when you should go to Briscoe's. Screw Friday and Monday to Wednesday and then the weekends.

Right. They trick you though. Well. Yeah, they do. I mean, the other option is you wait outside New World and get everybody's discarded dockets and their trolleys and their rubbish bin. That's how I got my smeg knife.

Bro, what goes with the bin? I was like, ugh, I can't be bothered with this promotion. And then a woman was like, had a't be bothered with this promotion. And then a woman was like, had a full sheet and she asked for one of the knives and they were like,

we don't have that in stock anymore. Remember, they were all out of stock. She was like, oh, well, I don't need the same knife again.

She's just like, do you want this? And I was like, yes, please. And then I got the big chef's knife, the classic one. Oh, so good.

Thank you to that lady. Honestly, it's absolutely slithered me to pieces for the last two years. 14 past six. Next on the show, cheating in the sports world. Another one.

You'll remember the fish situation where the guys were putting weights inside fish. And chess. Well, another sport. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's the final rankings. We do this every Friday, final rankings. We debate and rank a topic. Today, it's bath towels.

How did this come up? Didn't you say something? Oh, I'm going to out you on here that you don't own a single flannel. Yeah, no, I've got a Japanese bath towel. I'm more sophisticated. Sorry. No, but a Japanese bath towel is an exfoliating towel. Yeah, but I don't need flannel. I've got exfoliant face washes.

I don't need a flannel. Well, but sometimes you just want to put a hot flannel on your face. How good is a flannel? Flannels, I'm going to say they're manky. Flannels are manky. No, they're not. You've just got to wash them. I've I've

recently transitioned from using a standard flannel to a sort of a a cotton waffle flannel oh

must be nice softer softer bloody nice must be nice they were in my Santa sack oh that's nice

what well I think if you also recently like last Christmas last Christmas if I wore if I? Well, I think if you had... Also recently, like last Christmas. Last Christmas in my Santa sack. If I wore makeup, though, I think I'd be all about the flannel. No, no, no, no, no, no. You've got to have a makeup. You've got a makeup flannel.

So you have a makeup removing flannel. It's a brown flannel and it's got makeup embroidered on it. I always see those at the hotels. They're like, must use this flannel if you have makeup on. You can use your makeup flannel, wash your face, use that one, then when you actually just want a lovely flannel. Flannels at the bottom of my list. Oh, wow.

The big towel with the big fluffy spa towel. Top of the list. The bigger the towel, the better. I don't love a fluffy towel. I'd put flannel above a hand towel, though. Well, you don't love a fluffy towel. No, I'm not super fluffy. What do you love, a scratchy hard?

Somewhere in the middle. Slightly hard, because I don't feel like the fluffies dry me. If you've got a good towel and they're fluffy, they do. Oh, yeah, how good is a good fluffy towel? A good fluffy towel. Not the towels that you buy and they move the water around. Yes. Like, you know.

That's not happening. The first, like, one year of a Kmart towel, for example. Yes. Until it gets old enough. What do you mean the first year? The first and only year of a Kmart towel. I would go, yeah, flannel's bottom of my list. That's wild.

And then I'd go spa towel, bath towel, hand towel, flannel. Where's your bath mat? That's at the bottom too. Oh, no, bath mat's above flannel. Crucial bath mat. Crucial bath mat. I'm not saying they're not crucial, but... I'd put it above hand towel because the thing I get annoyed about a hand towel is it's small.

Yes. So it gets wetter quicker. Yeah. And like you can just spin around and wipe your hand on the actual towel. Let's be honest. That's what we do, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're at my house as well, I know that people will just like reach for my bath towel.

Yeah, wipe their hands on the bath towel. Because it's in a more convenient spot. If I have people over, I'll just put a new towel up and everyone will use that to wash their hands and then I'll just put it in the wash and get a new towel.

You'll use it. You'll use it a little bit. Come on. Use it up. Washing towels is hard. Yeah, it's not fun. They take a while. It's an art.

I love it. Hot wash. Air dry. Air dry. Finish in the dryer. A little pop in the dryer. And then the fold. The fold's very important too. I do a... Sometimes I do a roll. A thirds. You do. Finish in the dryer. A little pup in the dryer. And then the fold. The fold's very important too.

I do a, sometimes I do a roll. A thirds. You do thirds. I do thirds. I go in half, like in long ways, and then fold it in half, then in half, and then in thirds. Yes. Yeah. But if I'm doing a spa towel, because our spa towels are ginormous, you go in half,

and you go in half, then you go in half, and then you go in half. Because they're too wide otherwise. If you go in thirds, it's too thick. Yeah, they go in half because they're too wide otherwise if you go in thirds, it's too thick. Yeah, they're big. Right. A very narrow linen cupboard. I've never known something to be a spa towel.

We have what we call beach towels, which we use for the pool. Yeah. Yeah, we've got beach towels. So what is a spa towel? A big bath towel. I just want that as my everyday bath towel.

The bigger the better. I love wrapping myself up in the towel and giving yourself a quick... They'll set you back some money, though. Oh, they're expensive, are they? Yeah, they're spinny. Oh, yeah.

Or Hayley's just told me never go to Briscoe's on a Friday. No, don't go today. Go tomorrow or Thursday. Wait, I'm sure they have sales on a Friday. You're talking rubbish. Briscoe's. Okay. Jared just said Kmart has a great...

Well, I mean, where could it go for me? Kmart has a great... So yesterday they had a sale, right? Because I got an email about it. Today, no sales, but they've got things coming up this weekend, starting Saturday and Sunday. Okay. I mean, that may be one of the most unknown thing about New Zealand.

Yeah. I know, but I just assumed they rolled straight through. Jared said Kmart's got a great 1m by 1.8m towel. See, that's a big unit. That's a big towel. But you said before Kmart doesn't do good towels. Well, it depends. They're not known for their quality towels.

No. I mean, it's certainly not a Sheridan. They're not known for their quality anything. But it's cheap stuff. But it's there and it's cheap. But it's cheap. It's good stuff. And it's accessible.

Hell yeah. I mean, something's got to go in those giant landfill holes we dug. Exactly. Are we going to leave them empty? People will just slip into them. You're going to make all those people at the dump redundant? You monsters. Give us your final rankings.

From top to bottom. Yes. Number one, one of these big towels that you guys are talking about. I don't even have one, but I want one desperately. Ordinary towel, flannel. No. Yeah. Bath mat before flannel.

Big towel. Towel. Bath mat. Because I like getting out and giving it a little bit of a shake. flannel. Big towel, towel, bath mat. Because I like getting out and giving it a little bit of a shake. Flannel, hand towel. I'm going number one, flannel. Get on board, Fletch. I'm going to buy you some of these nice waffle flannels for Christmas.

Flannel, spa towel, normal towel, foot towel. What's it called? Shower mat. Bath mat. Bath mat. Shower mat's like a sticky grip for when you're getting a little bit older

and you don't want to have a little tumble in the shower. I can't wait to get a bar installed in my shower. What age do you get a bar installed? 70s?

Well, you don't want to, Jesus, no, I'm getting one next year. I want a seat immediately. Yeah. One of those seats. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Cornhole.

Hell of a game. Hell of a game. Great game. Hell of a game. We bought it in lockdown last year. Oh, yeah. It was my birthday in lockdown, and Aaron said, what do you want to do? I said, I just want to drink cocktails and play cornhole.

And so when we couldn't leave, you know, you couldn't go out to shops and stuff, he ended up finding a guy who made it on Facebook Marketplace and all this. Yeah. We bought a set and we played cornhole. Is it well varnished? Very well varnished. Good. Yeah, so varnish helps because you get a bit of a slide into the hole.

That's what I like though. I like a slide into the hole. It'll slip you right off. Yeah. Yeah. True, true. It's good stuff. It's good fun.

Good game. So the Professional cornhole league, this is an American cornhole league championship, has been rocked by controversy as the team that won apparently used a lighter, thinner bag. Surely they would check your bag. Well, you wouldn't be able to BYO bag. I thought you would use bag provided by competition as well.

Yeah. Well, it's like the All Blacks don't bring their own ball, do they, to the World Cup? Famously, no. No? No, no, no. Regulation balls, aren't they?

You're the official ball supplier of the World Cup and you supply them all. This, I had no idea. Look at the amount of sponsorship this dude's wearing. He looks like a NASCAR driver. Oh my gosh.

Full-blown. Wow. Cornhole championship. Full-blown. Wow. What kind of prize money is up for grabs in the Cornhole Championships? I think it was $15,000 prize, this one that's been disputed. It's not really a game that... It wouldn't have been

advantageous to be lighter. No. Because you've still got to work out the weight. It's not like that's so heavy you struggle to get the distance. You can literally overthrow it quite easily. Yeah. Yeah, it's a hard game to cheat at. Yeah, apparently Devin, who lost,

he thought at the time that the bags used by his opponent looked too thin. But if they're thinner, they would be easier to throw. Get into the hole. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, you're going to be able to throw it easier. Yeah, but it's not advantageous to the point

you can throw it easier, but you could also just throw it straight over. You've still got to work out your length. Yeah. And if you've gone through the whole competition using a certain weight and you were used to the weight. Are you doing an underarm? I'm doing an underarm. Cornhole is strictly over. Like back of the hand to the front.

Back of the hand to the front. Really? No, I just got this. You can't chuck. You've got to toss. He loves to cheat. Oh, my God. He loves to cheat.

When you come to the Courtesy Sproul Cornhole Championships this summer, it's this. I can't wait for a bit of cornhole. Oh, my God. You've got the perfect backyard. Yeah, we've got the best backyard for it. Long driveway. Are you playing the driveway, do you? Yeah, because our last summer, our lawn sloped, but now it doesn't, does it?

It's flat, yeah. You've got a flat lawn now. Perfect backyard, because do you know the Colombians play a game like cornhole? God, he loves the Colombians, doesn't he? You just won't shut up about Colombia. They use exploding gunpowder packets. What is this? So it's like cornhole, but it's like this clay.

It's like a cornhole board, but it's clay. And there's like a horseshoe or a cross in the middle. And you use shotputs, like metal shotputs. And if you hit this, and you use shot puts, like metal shot puts. And if you hit it and you- Patonk balls or shot puts? It's like Patonk or shot puts. Exploding Patonk. Yeah, probably more like Patonk, but hard metal.

Yeah. And you, like cornhole, you go under and you just hit it. And these, it's amazing. If you hit the gunpowder packets- Colombian exploding game. It's called Tejo or Taiho. And what, just bang every time it hits? It's, well, yeah, if you hit the gunpowder packets. Colombian exploding game. It's called Tejo. Or Taiho. And what, just bang every time it hits?

Well, yeah, if you hit the gunpowder. And you have to reload the gunpowder? Yeah, otherwise you just get stuck in the clay. So it's like cornhole

but it's explosive and next level. Fun. And you play that while you drink. Can we get this in New Zealand? Do you reckon?

We're a little strict on our explosives. I think you've got to know someone that can get gunpowder out of shotgun cartridges. Damn. That's easy. You can buy gunpowder packing. You can buy machines that pack gunpowder. You can make your own shotgun

cartridges. So surely with a slight adjustment. I feel like this is better played at Vaughan's house. It's a bit more out of the way. A little bit more. A bit less residential. Do you mind if we explode your backyard? I mean, I'm sure my horse-owning neighbours would love it. Great. We'll play in the driveway.

Yeah, perfect. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Tumblr has, after a 2018 ruling, 2018,

was when Tumblr said, no more nudity, no more boobies. And everyone's like, what's the point? See you later, Tumblr. What's the point? What am I here for?

And then I think the only person left on Tumblr was Taylor Swift. Was Swift still on Tumblr? Well, Swift is still on Tumblr. I feel like she... Well, let's turn to resident Swifty Carween. After 2018's nudity ban at Tumblr, did Swift remain Tumblr? Yeah, she is very active on Tumblr. She's still very active on Tumblr.

Not as much now, but for a while she was becoming besties with everyone on Tumblr. Yeah, because I remember these stories where she'd surprise people and give them concert tickets or pay for their, I don't know, their bike. Tuition and stuff, yeah. And I was like, is she the only one left on Tumblr? Yeah.

I don't really understand how it works. It was just like having a scrapbook, right? That's actually a very good way of putting it. A scrapbook. Yeah, so most people would have arty photos or their artwork, but the majority of people just had scrapbooks of porn. Right. But they're making

their own scrapbooks of porn. What do you mean? They were collecting. They weren't making. I was kind of semi-aware of the fact that nude was on Tumblr, but I was like, if you want to watch that, what's your kind of Tumblr for? Yeah, there's websites for that.

There's websites specialising in this. And then when they said no more, was when I became very aware that there was a lot of it there. But also quite an interesting timing because a lot of people are packing in with Twitter. Exactly. People are saying they saying this may be the main reason why people

have said to Tumblr, hey, look, massive opportunity here. I also had no idea. No holds barred, no rules on Twitter regarding pornography posting, which I had no idea. You just follow the BBC World Service,

don't you, for the news updates? Of course I do. Yeah, of course I do. And entertainment news sources for the latest on what those cheeky Kardashians are up to. Of course. You had no idea what was lurking beneath the surface. I had no idea. Well, it's Elon Musk's problem now. Yeah, all that

filth is his problem. Well, maybe this weekend's the time to go back to Tumblr. The top six reasons to go back to Tumblr this weekend. Number six on the list, blue ticks don't cost you $8. By the way, have you seen this thing with Stephen King? See, he said, initially Elon said $20 for a blue tick. Yeah. And then Stephen King was like...

Famous horror author, who signed that book for you that time? Oh my God, Stephen King signed a book for me and Matthew Perry yeah just last week every time a book a new book turns up by a famous person

they're signed especially for Hayley but just for me not for you guys also interesting they have the same handwriting Stephen King yeah like a child

and friends actor Matthew Perry it's not that bad it's actually quite neat handwriting no it's terrible it's like fluid shows a little bit

of personality perhaps it literally looks like a 10 year old wrote it it was probably nicer when they were a child, but they use the handwriting less often now. It's so weird that they know so much about me. Yeah. They do.

Well, that's just the kind of caring celebrities they are. Yeah, so Stephen King's like, I'm not paying $20. And then Elon Musk, just out of nowhere, how about $8? Also, the idea about blue ticks and verification is that they have to be You know Hard to get right Like Not everybody can just

Get a blue tick Otherwise The scammers Will get a blue tick Yeah I don't have one But if you pay $8 Then you get one I don't know

It's weird It's silly Number five on the list Of the top six reasons To go back to Tumblr This weekend Um Poetry or something

A good platform for emo poetry. That's why I'm really surprised you never did Tumblr. I know. It's right up your alley. It was real emo. It was like late stage, almost second phase emo.

I would post my poetry on DeviantArt. Yeah, I remember DeviantArt. Which was semi like pre-Tumblr Tumblr. Yeah, and you'd make like graphic design. Yeah, and it could sparkle. Yeah, that was good stuff. Number four on the top six reasons

Can't wait to see, can't wait to get a couple of hot takes from people, you know,

that are still reveling in that situation. And number one on the list of the top six reasons to go back to Tumblr this weekend, definitely not the fact that nudity's back. No. No, no way. Definitely not the fact I somehow have to, I forgot my password.

I need help logging in. God, I feel like Grandad clicking that button. For work, you know. Yeah. Because we need to stay connected. Oh, absolutely. God damn it,

what was my password? Number one on the list of the top six reasons to go back to the Tumblr this week. And definitely not nudes. Recipes. Oh, yeah. You know, like really good recipes. Yeah. Really good recipes.

God damn it, what was my password? I just need to see some. What is it? Nipples. Do I have to murder to see some titties around here? Give me my password! Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Oh my God, are you alright? Just tried to get the last bit of the apple down and it just round about it. It was like circling the hole before it shut down and it tickled the entire throat. So I need a little mercy cough just before. Wow. Huh.

Unprofessional. I would never eat on the show while I was on air. No, you wouldn't famously. I famously don't. You said you absolutely wouldn't. I always wait. Two-fifths of adults from British health research are in pain by their mid-40s.

Now, this is described as chronic pain, which I understand is significantly worse than what I'm currently experiencing. Yeah. Because once I get, with my sore back, once I get going for the day, it kind of comes right. That's age. I remember my dad saying stuff like that.

Ah, sore, but you know, once I get going, it's all right. Just got to warm the old girl up. Yeah, just got to, yeah, the old shoulder's a bit buggered, but ah, once you get going, you forget about it, and then you just get going, don't you? Yeah, bloody gone. So my back's not bad. But then today I came in and I said, oh, it's not bad. My back's not bad. But then today I came in and I said, oh, my back's not bad.

But God, I've got to absolutely, I think my gout's finally arrived. Let's face it, I've been tiptoeing a fine line with the old G-O-U-T. Heavy meat. Heavy meat. Heavy meat consumption. Love rich food. Yeah. Absolutely.

Scoff an oyster every time I see it. Never say no to a pain au noir. Forget about it. Love a port. Never say no to a pinot noir. Like, me, forget about it. Love a port. You've got to leave. You do eat your veggies, though. I am a big veggie boy. Yeah.

But you're thinking of scurvy. I'm thinking of scurvy, yeah. But I said, my pinky is sore. My little pinky toe. Yeah. And Hayley's like, oh, my God, my pinky toe is really sore. And then producer Jared was also like, my pinky toe is really sore. And I said, what foot is it on?

Count of three. One, two, three. Right. How weird is that? We've all got a really sore pinky toe on our right foot. Well, I've been away. Have I missed something? Have you eaten something or done an activity?

We all went out for lunch the other day on Wednesday. Wednesday. Anna's last day. Yeah. And we all ate. Carwen doesn't have a sore toe, but she also doesn't eat meat. Oh, okay. So you think.

We've all got cat. You've eaten some kind of meat and it's given you a numb right toe? Some sort of animal product has numbed our right toe. And it's not numb, it's sore. I think mine's nail related. No, but we all did a nail check. I trimmed the nail especially. I trimmed the nail.

I trimmed the nail. You also trimmed the nail. I also trimmed the nail, but it didn't make a difference. Because you were like, the nail's got to be digging in, so I'll trim it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not that. Weird.

I thought mine was maybe because I had marching on Wednesday night after our boozy lunch and I... Strapped it in a boot. I had it in a boot and they're quite narrow and I thought it was there. But yeah, yesterday it hurts and today it hurts even worse. Yeah, mine kicked in last night. Well, this is weird, isn't it? Today I've taken my shoes off.

You know, us old boys with gout, we take our shoes off. You don't have gout. I don't want to have gout. I really don't want to have gout. I really don't want to have gout. I literally had steak and to have gout. I really don't want to have gout. I literally had steak and a red wine last night. Yes. That's good for it, I think.

Do you reckon? I don't know if it is. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure. But we were wondering right now, and we just need a quick call. 0800-DIAL-ZM. You can text 9696. What's sore?

It's the return of our old favourite, what's sore? Will you just ring up? Just vent. It might make you feel better. It's the return of our old favourite, What'sore. Will you just ring up? Just vent. It might make you feel better. It's probably not going to do anything for the pain. Yeah. Pinch shoulder. But just What'sore.

Yeah, maybe you woke up and there's something a bit, maybe a crick neck. Crook. You just slept on the pillow wrong, slightly wrong. Tight shoulders. Yeah. This is only going to get worse, guys. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Maybe you've got a sore tongue. Absolutely. But we want to know that you're not a lion. Yeah, right. Okay, so it's a chance to call up. 0800-DARZATEM right now. You can text 9696. What's sore?

That's all it is. It's just what's sore. What's sore? What hurts? Yeah, what hurts? What are you hoping sorts itself out for the weekend? Oh, my God. How many calls are we going to get for sore right toes?

If you've got a sore right pinky toe, get in touch. It's a conspiracy theory. I feel a podcast in the making. So we want to know this morning, it's a very simple question. What hurts? What's sore? What's sore? What's sore?

Especially if it's a right pinky toe, because three of the five people here for the show have a sore right pinky toe. Joining our family of sore right pinky toes, Gemma, hello. Good morning, guys. How are you going? We're sore. We're sore.

Why have you got a sore right pinky toe? I'm putting it down to a new pair of Birkenstocks, trying to wear them in, but it's bizarre. My right pinky toe is like a little fat sausage. Gemma, I wore my Birkenstocks yesterday for the first time since, like, March. Oh, mate. Mate.

Mate. I've been wearing... I've been in the cream here. No, I rocked my Birks out for the first time. I've got soft Birks. You've got a harder leather. I've got... Jared, producer Jared've got a harder leather. I've got... Jared, producer Jared. Jared, were you wearing yours

yesterday? I was also wearing my Birks. Mystery solved, Jimmy! You're bloody Scooby-Doo! Oh, thank God! I don't think Scooby-Doo ever really had anything to do with solving the mysteries. It was the adult. It was the kids.

Rather than the dog. The dog was stupid. He just wanted snacks. I broke your product. He didn't do any of the detective work. He did none of the detective work. He did like a deliciously huge sandwich, tripped up the criminal, and then that was when Fred would take the monster. He did

zero of the groundwork. Dude, are you kidding me? If nothing else, he boosted morale. I'll give you that. And going into a haunted house with a big, great dame, that's going to make you feel a little bit safer, even though they're softies, aren't they, the old ones? So it's for Berks.

Gemma, thank you so much, because that was going to drive me nuts. It's the change of the season. The Berks are out. Gemma, do you think Scooby-Doo was pulling his weight in the game? I don't think he was. Oh, absolutely. Thank you, Gemma. I've got to in the game? I don't think he was. Oh, absolutely. Thank you, Jim. He was on our team.

I'm driving in a car full of dogs and they're all very offended that you said Scooby-Doo didn't pull his weight. I'll give you the fact that he was there for moral support, for safety. Can we get a poll on our Instagram? Did Scooby-Doo pull his weight? Yes or no? Get to our Instagram, FVHZN.

I think you'll find That yes he was cute But he didn't pull his weight It was The rest of them Were solving the The murders He was a dog

So do you think Shaggy pulled his weight Absolutely not Okay now See I'll be more on to Shaggy didn't pull his weight But Scooby Doo Definitely pulled his weight

Yeah He was a dog God damn it He's a dog Thank you Gemma Some more messages in. We want to know this morning what hurts.

It's a chance video. I just have a rant, basically. He was sore. My heart's sore. I miss her so much. She sucks. Goodbye to her.

Don't let her make you. Oh, okay. If she's dead, then that's not good. I assume she left. Check these things. You were assuming

she cheated and left. I assume she just broke this dude check these things. You were assuming she cheated and left. I assume she just broke this dude's heart. This dude or dudette's heart. Yeah. Meanwhile, Scooby-Doo definitely pulled just back to do just the change topic from born being a monster. Craig, good morning. Oh, good morning. How you going?

What's sore? It's my right heel. It's the plantar fasciitis. Oh, my God. Did you try on your Birks this weekend? Could it be that? No, I don't wear boots. But apparently, like, it's the years of wearing Converse

and then putting a bit of extra weight on and then trying to do some exercise. I rock a Converse quite regularly, but I will say it's the devil shoe. They're terrible. They are the devil shoe. Barry, man in his 20s shoe, aren't they, a Converse? But the minute you hit your 30s, you've got to get some nice new balances.

Get some orthopedics. Some huff puppies. Some cuffs. Pop on down to Hannah's and get some cuffs. Isn't it weird to think that they played basketball and they did track in those? They were the original athlete's shoe. It's wild. Craig, thank you.

Some more messages in. Someone said the show was called Scooby-Doo. I didn't see Fred or Valma's name in the title. Yes, it's called Scooby Doo, but the kids did the investigating. They did the heavy lifting. Having sex and smoking weed. I think the villains were so incompetent that

they did a lot of the heavy lifting for the good guys. My hip, last night I slept on the couch, no body pillow, hip in between the cushions. I mean, Shada and I could have an argument that could end nearly in one of our deaths, but we'd still sleep in a bed that night because we know if you sleep on the couch.

Yeah. Oh, always in the bed, you just need to huff and sort of do that. Yeah, huff and silent treatment and never roll over to face them. But if you sleep on the couch, you're going to be in pain for weeks. That sounds healthy, going to sleep like that. So pathetic, eh? Never go to bed angry. Are you kidding me?

You barely move. My best sleeps have been when I'm just fast. Absolutely seething with anger. I got elastics on my braces yesterday. I never had braces, but I remember when people I knew had their braces tightened

or their elastics put on. Yeah, I had braces. It was a fair bit of sore teeth. You're like, you've got pie in your braces. Yeah. I knew braces had them tightened or the elastic spot on. Yeah, I had braces. It was a fair bit of sore teeth. Like, oh, you've got pie in your braces. Yeah. I should have had braces. That's not too late. Do you know my mum had braces in her 30s when we were kids?

Yeah. That's quite cool. Yeah, but your fletch is now older than your mum was when you were a kid. What? Yeah. Till I'll just rock these mangly British teeth. They're doing the trick. They're doing fine.

They're true steak and stuff. What a hell of a smile. Yeah, thank you. My pinky used to hurt, but it doesn't anymore because it's in a specimen jar. I had it taken off. Oh, babe, that's going to hurt. I could add shoulder, wrists, elbows.

How did their pinky come off? I'll need a follow-up to that. They might have just had it removed. If you had to get a pinky removed, would you keep it in a jar? Actually, maybe, because that would be quite an interesting thing, wouldn't it? I never got asked if I wanted to keep my kidney. I'd get it resined

into a table, like on one of those videos where they pour resin into things. Get it mounted on a thing and that's where you hold your rings. You know, like one of those ring holders. Yes! But it's so short, my pinky's so short, you can only fit one little ring on it. Now it's just this little gross little... Stub.

Someone's like, why are you stirring your rings on a yam? Yeah. You've got those real Prince Charles videos. Dude, this is a great point. How often does Scooby-Doo lead the gang with his sniffing powers? So often. He would be like sniffing out a sandwich, but he'd lead them right to that. He was sniffing out a sandwich, not the criminal.

Yeah, I know, but he'd leave them right to that. He was sniffing out a sandwich not the criminal. Yeah I know but he was sniffing for the sandwich but maybe the criminal had a sandwich so In real life that dog would have been nowhere near the police force or any detective agency.

None of them none of them would have been in the police force or the detective agency. Well he wouldn't have been anywhere Valma might have been in like a CSI type situation

so she's a a pretty clever little girl Is our poll up yet? Coming up on the show We've got your chance to get to the United States of America All thanks to American Airlines Coming up soon on the show Our boarding call Listen out for that

But next on the show Our very own Frances Cook Has made the Daily Mail UK With her finance tips. And she has taught us how to do financial fasting. And it's not as horrible as it sounds. Can I still eat? Yeah, you get to eat.

Oh, good. Now, Scooby-Doo was always the bait somebody's messaged him. Scooby-Doo was always the bait somebody's messaged in. Oh. Scooby-Doo was always the bait, which allowed the others to investigate. So even if he wasn't directly investigating, he was keeping the villain occupied to let the others do some freelance investigation. He wasn't the brains, though. He wasn't pulling. Nobody's pulling his weight.

We didn't ask if he was the brains. We didn't ask if he was the brains of the operation. You, sir, for some reason decided this day to make some sort of wild stand against Scooby-Doo, which I shan't have. I'm just saying he's just useless.

But they literally say we can count on you, Scooby-Doo. And not pulling this weight, the poll is up on our Instagram page. I'll be vindicated by this. You will be.

You absolutely won't be. What is it? Were you vilified? Vilified by this. I'll either be vilified. In be. What is it? Were you vilified by this? I'll either be vilified. In fact, Scooby-Doo will pull your mask off at the end and we'll find out you were Scrappy-Doo all along. Those meddling kids.

Now, I read this article this morning and I was like, this is a fantastic idea. I actually really, really like this. Yeah. And then just then I was like, oh, who came up with this? It's Francis Cook. Oh, Cook in the Box. Cook in the Box, our very own.

You can listen to Frances' podcast. We've had her in many times. She was the one that only, she didn't buy any new clothes for the whole year. Correct. She bought some secondhand, but also just tried to drastically reduce how many clothes she was buying.

Let's not get crazy. Let's not get crazy here. I literally sent you guys pictures yesterday. I was vacuum packing two sacks of clothes to join the other two sacks of clothes in my garage. I can't vacuum pack, because I love a vacuum pack, but ever after that, don't F with cats on Netflix. Did you ever watch that?

No. Oh, I'd forgotten about that. And when you said it, I was like, what? You'll never vacuum pack the same. Really? Have you never seen that doco? No. It is wild.

It came out like two years ago. Yeah. It must be coming up nearly two years ago. Don't F with cats. Don't F with cats. It is the... Oh, sorry. Yeah, I saw that.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, I've just remembered. I'm with you. Yeah. And you were vacuum packing yesterday and you didn't remember that documentary. Clothing. I didn't even check if my cat was in there. What if he's in there? He's been a little scared lately. Yeah. And you were vacuum packing yesterday and you didn't remember that documentary. Clothing. I didn't even check if my cat was in there.

What if he's in there? He's been a little scared lately. Anyway, financial fasting is a term. Financial fasting. I hear that and I think, don't spend. Don't get to spend anything. Deprivation. Go without. For a certain, I think that sounds

like Monday to Friday, financial fasting, don't spend any money, then you're allowed to spend money at the weekend. Kind of. Because like fasting, the concept of like, I think that sounds like Monday to Friday, financial fasting, don't spend any money, then you're allowed to spend money at the weekend. Kind of. Because like fasting, the concept of like, I guess, healthy fasting, I don't know. Intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is you do it for a period of time.

So you're not just starving. You're doing it for a period of time and then you go back to normal, right? Yeah. It's the same thing. So Francis Cook says if you struggle with saving money, sometimes it's better to do it in short sprints rather than like, oh, I'm saving money this month.

I can't spend anything. Because that's when you're likely, as with food, to fall off, right? And binge. Oh, well, stuff it and have a little binge or have a big spend. So she says financial fasting might be for you

if this is the case. The method aims to help people learn how to budget and avoid blowing their income on unnecessary spending. Bells are ringing for me. Bells are ringing there, well and truly. So she said, it's a three step, so start by calculating the bare minimum that you can live

on for one week, which includes a very basic grocery shop, so enough food for the week, bills, rental mortgage repayments and any other necessary expenses. Gas. If you drive repayments and any other necessary expenses. Gas. Yep. If you drive to work.

Bottles of wine. No. No. No, you're already falling off the track. But chocolate bars when they ask me. No.

One, minimum. The food I eat, the gas I use. A Red Bull I don't drink but I felt bullied into buying it because it was two for five.

No, it's only for a short period of time. You can have that next week. Then you block out one week of every month for your financial fast. So this could be like if you get paid monthly that week following your pay or the week leading into you getting paid. Well, yeah, the week leading into your pay without saying is financial passing because you spent all your money already.

You live off that bare minimum for that week. Do not spend anything extra that week. Keep social plans to a minimum for that week. Do not spend anything extra that week. Keep social plans to a minimum. Just one week. And then ensure that the money that you have saved is put into an online savings account that you don't touch. How would you, because you're very social, I can easily say no to a social function.

How do you do it? I cannot find a week. Like, I can't find a week. Next week, I've got three social engagements. This weekend, two. I can't find a week. Like, I can't find a week. Next week, I've got three, next weekend, three social engagements. This weekend, two. I can't find a week. So could you fast for an entire week? Well, I'm going to have to soon. You know, next year's

going to be tough for everyone. So then after you do your week of just like, oh my god, I want to wine, I want to go out, I want to do this, I want to have dinner. Then you go back to your normal life. Right. But you do not touch the money you've saved that week. And you just repeat this like a cycle. Okay, and then I guess if you get good at it, you can maybe to your normal life. Right. But you do not touch the money you've saved that week. And you just repeat this like a cycle. Okay. And then I guess if you get good at it, you can maybe go every second week.

You can literally save thousands by doing this. Okay. So when you think about like, I want to save a bunch of money, it feels impossible. It feels really boring. Like the journey to health, right? We're like, oh, it's so boring. Yeah. You just do it like really condensed and then just live your life normally.

Really condensed work. live your life normally. Good idea from Frances Cook. Well done, Frances Cook. And her podcast, iHeartRadio, Cook in the Box. Now, I know some people just are more prone to hangovers than others. I don't get terrible hangovers, I'd say, for a woman that

consumes quite a bit of alcohol. I think you're just well trained. Yeah, I'm pretty good at that. It's consistency is key. It's like anything fitness. I'm really not promoting consistency. I can get pretty bad ones if I mix drinks and you know you do sugary

cocktails. And then the next day I'm just like, oh. And then some days you get the two day hangovers now and I'm just like, no. You feel a bit rubbish. Yeah. Well, the next day I'm just like, oh. And then some days you get the two-day hangovers now and I'm just like, I just, no. You feel a bit rubbish. Yeah. Well, apparently one in five have a genetic quirk that helps flush alcohol out quicker and thrive on little sleep.

I've got a couple of friends that just do not get hangovers. They'll feel a bit dusty. Yes. I have a friend who has too much oxygen in his blood. What? I know. I know. It's so weird.

Are they studied by? Lance Armstrong. We've talked about this. Her friend Lance Armstrong. Oh, yeah. Are you still friends with him? Yeah. Pops into a tent every 12 hours on the side of a French road.

He's all right. But no, and he said he's been told for years that he's got a lot of oxygen in his blood. Right. And that for some reason, that's why he does not have a drip of hangover. Because I remember in Vegas, they have those oxygen bars. Oh, they were bullshit. I drove one of those. Paid a pretty penny.

Yeah, you just go in and you get an IV drip and an oxygen mask. Oh, I didn't get the IV drip. I got the oxygen. Yeah, right. Breathe your bit. So, yeah, research indicates that it mutates three genes in particular, which then determines how unwell you will feel the next day after consuming too much alcohol

and how fast you'll process alcohol to get it out of your system. Right. Because that's the thing. Like, you know, some people, a bit of a chunny. I don't. I don't do that. I'm unable to. Yeah, same.

So it's in me until it's out of me. And I just have to wear it, you know. Yeah. But it's called CYP2E1. Oh, of course. I reckon they could brainstorm the name. That's the robot on Star Wars, too. Yeah, I think so.

No, it's his cousin. It's responsible for determining how the body breaks down alcohol compounds. So that's the gene. If it mutates... So what does it say where it comes from? Like what part of the world? What do you mean? No, it's anyone anywhere in the world.

It's inside you. I thought all gene mutations could be led back to one mutant. You know, like blue-eyed mutants. If you see a person with blue eyes this weekend, they're a mutant. So there's three. But they're so hot. That's their mutant powers. They're hot. There So there's three. But they're so hot. CYP. That's their mutant powers. God, they're hot.

Blue eyes. There's three. CYP 2E1. There's ADH 1B. And there's ALDH 2. Okay. So I don't know the origins of these genes. But it's all about how they break down different enzymes,

different alcohols. Oh, my God. Just hearing you read out those genes, what did you say what that last one was called? ALDH2. My mum asked me what QL... Oh my God, you... When you messaged the group chat last night

I was like, what did she say? You've got to tell... You've got to bless her curiosity. She was doing it and she wasn't doing it with any mean spirit at all. But holy shit, I almost went...

We had my mum and dad and Sade's mum and dad at our house yesterday, and honestly, the entire conversation was, nope, you can't say that anymore, you cannot say that word, we try not to say that around the kids, la-di-da, this was the entire conversation, hold on, I can't remember the exact

letters my mum asked me, what they were, but I just lost my mind. My mum asked me what L-A-Q-C was, and I said, I'm not sure, she's like, they were, but I just lost my mind. My mum asked me what LAQC was. And I said, I'm not sure. She's like, LAQC. She meant LGBTQI. LGBTQI.

Yeah. Because an LAQC is a loss, like a company that you set up. It's a loss. Is it a quantity survey? But bless. She was like, okay. And then she had lots. And it was nice actually because she was asking questions and it wasn't like judgmentally. She wants to get behind

the LAQC community. And know if you are LAQC Christine is all for it. Pride parade. I cannot wait to see her placard. Her LAQC. Proud of my LAQC friends. The Los Angeles Queen's Council. Well that's nice that she's trying

Yeah And then I Non-binary You were explaining that to her I explained that And then she's like Is that the one where you don't want to be anything? And I said

I'm not quite sure how to really bridge the gap here It's not my area of specialty You needed some reality TV show cameras there That's some gold right there. It's a jiggy cancelled. Then my poor mum would be cancelled. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

This Sunday we're a week away from Friday Jams Live at Western Springs. We've got a double pass up for grabs around 8.30 this morning with our game Macklemore or Less.

We've got an item from a thrift shop. You've just got to be bang on and guess exactly how much, or be the closest to win the tickets. I'll give you a clue. I tried to put it on. And no, no, no.

They're short shorts. Very short shorts. Very small short shorts. I think producer Jared would be the only one here that could fit those. Oh, he shall model them. And we shall have it so. 8.30 this morning.

Yes! I think we should go live as well for this. And we shall have it so. 8.30 this morning. Yes. I think we should go live as well for this. Join us on our Facebook Live. Yeah, 8.30. Now, I had a bit of an issue, a bit of an error this morning. Error. Okay. Now, you guys will know, and maybe the listener will probably catch it sometimes.

I suffer from very itchy ears. I'm constantly trying to itch the inside. It's inside the ear, right? Down in the canals. Absolutely. Why do you have itchy inner canals? I have no idea. My dad has it. They're dry. I don't produce it. Hairy. No, no. You'd hope so. You might have a tickle in there from your hair. Hairies, from Donaldson's dairies. But I don't produce enough wax. When they've been like itchy, I was like, surely I can go get them cleaned. And any time I've gone to get my ears cleaned, they're like, no, there's nothing in there. Oh, wow.

I know. Thanks. Too nothing. Like, nothing, nothing. Yeah, too dry. Yeah, too dry. Anyway, so the last time I went to the ear clinic, the woman said to me, just get a little dropper of olive oil and drop it into the ears.

I've heard about this. What? Yeah. Yeah. It's a beautiful natural lubricant. It's also a way to deal with wax, right? You warm it up slightly. Say chuck it in the pot, boil it.

No, but if you warm it slightly, it can dissolve hard wax and then it just dribbles out. Yuck. Do you use extra virgin or cold pressed? Well, this morning I've never tried it. Rice bran? I never tried it. Home brand $1 cooking oil?

Sunflower. Salad? I never tried it. I was like, oh, you know, I can't get the dropper and stuff. This morning that was so itchy. I was like, I'm going to have to do that all show. So, and I was,

I got my, some Q-tips out. Yeah. Biodegradable. Yeah. Don't come at me. I got some Q-tips out to get a bit of sleep from my eye.

And then I was like, oh my God. Do you not use your finger? Do you not get rid of your sleep with your finger? No, don't be manky. You don't use a flannel.

Wash your hands. No, I just get a little, because if I get a little bit of like leftover makeup or something, you can just scoop it out with a Q-tip. You don't use a flannel. You just wash your hands. No, I just get a little, because if I get a little bit of leftover makeup or something, you can just scoop it out with a Q-tip. Anyway. I use those for digging around far too deep in my ears. Same.

Touch the brain. So I was like, do you know what I'll do? I'll pour some olive oil into a little thing, and then I'll dip the Q-tip in, and I'll just put it in nice and deep and get some olive oil in there to help lubricate them up. So I poured it and then I put the thingy on the thingy and I put it into my ear.

I was like, that does feel nice, kind of wet and oily. Really? Do they look shiny? There's a certain shine. There's a sheen, yeah. And then I was like, oh my God. You idiot. I accidentally used my garlic infused.

Olive oil. You're lucky it wasn't chilli infused. I know. I accidentally used my garlic infused olive oil. Oh my God. So now your ears smell like garlic. No, I tried to get it out. Then I had to get another Q-tip and try to like get it.

Why would I worry about it? Garlic's good for the bod. You're always hearing about how good garlic is for the bod. Yeah, but I think garlic's good when you ingest it into your, like, who knows? Maybe not through your ear canal. Yeah. Could be. I smell like a beautiful French loaf.

Anyway, so I tried to get it out and then put normal olive oil in there. And I'll say, not so itchy. Really? That worked? Yeah, this could be a daily thing for me. But I won't be using the garlic infused. Right. So if we come around to your house and wash our hands and use your bathroom,

the olive oil hasn't been lost from the kitchen. No, no. It's in the air. Air lubrication. Yeah, got to lube up the old ears for the day. Yeah, right. Great stuff. Hot tip.

I want to try it now. But just maybe not with garlic. Garlic infused is an odd choice. Play ZM's Fletch for the daily. Play ZM. Hey, you on the phone? I bet I can guess your mum's name. Well, it's time for I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name.

Have you got a Pam on there? Have you got a Pam? I thought I had a Pam. I'll pop a Pam on there. Okay. All right, well, Alicia, Vaughan now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If he does that, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughan, your time starts now.

Julie, Susan, Fiona, Christine, Karen, Wendy, Trish, Carol, Lynette, Sharon, Margaret, Tina, Nicola, Kim, Jenny, Carol, Marie, Cheryl, Brenda, Paula, Denise, Amanda, Diane, Judith, Kim, Janice, Adam. Stop with my mum's name. Which one? Diane. A little ditty about Jack and Diane.

That was what I was thinking of. Here's a little ditty about Jack and Diane. That was what I was thinking of. Here's a little ditty about Jack and Diane. Wow, there you go. You've locked in $100. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. And you've unlocked the bonus round as well. One guess at dad's name for an extra $100.

It's been done before. And it's not going to be Jack because we didn't get enough of a reaction when we were like, Jack and Diane. But it's got to be a classic, like a Paul. Paul and Diane. Paul and Diane. John and Diane. Tim and Diane.

Tim and Diane. Gavin and Diane. It's not Tim. I'm telling you now. Steve. Steve. Craig. Craig and Diane. It's definitely one of those names.

Greg. I see it could be Greg too. Oh, I don't know. Why did you, now you casually, I'm just trying to pick up on a crystallation of vibrant diaborance. upon a crystallation of vibrant aberrants. I'm trying to tap into a sort of a spiritual habadonkaron.

Okay. This is... Why did I say Steve? No, you said Tim and you were immediately like, no! You growled at him for it. It just felt wrong. Oh, wow. Okay. It just felt wrong. I, wow. Okay. Just felt wrong. I heard it in my soul and I went, I've got to put that fire out.

You've got to put it to bed. Why? Tell me more about this. I don't know. I just felt it in my lungs. What did you feel at that immediate moment that you felt it wasn't Tim? It's not that. That's what I felt.

Yeah. What? Did another name? No. I'm sorry. Nothing replaced it. Jesus. It's Tim, isn't it, Alicia?

Gosh. Don't say. Don't say. Don't. I'm sorry. Nothing replaced it. Jesus, it's Tim, isn't it, Alicia? Gosh. Don't say, don't say. Don't, I'm absolutely stuffed this up. I now need you to give us one name. I bet I can guess your mum's name. You've done. Dad's name is... Ignore me, ignore me.

No, it's not. No, it's not. You said... It's 100% it's not. Why did you say no, Hayley? Oh my God. I found... Oh my God.

Carwen's showing us on the paper. Okay, Carwen, you write down the mum and dad's name before the competition. And you've just held that up to the board. It says Diane and Tim. It's Tim. It's actually Tim. Because you were like Tim and you were like, ah. Like, it was a knee-jerk feeling in me.

Yeah, why? I told you it had to be one of those, like, six or seven names and we said, like, a classic. Jesus. Wow. Wow, you've done it. Yeah! Thank you. done it. Yeah. Thank you. That's so exciting.

I knew that you recharging your crystals this week has really helped you. I might have got a vibe from what were you feeling when Fletch said Tim and Hayley said no. What were you, what was your feeling, Alicia? I was saying yes. I didn't know about that. And that came through. That's what I felt.

It came through the vibrations of the earth up into you. Yes. And that came through. That's what I felt. It came through the vibrations of the earth up into you. Yes. Wow. When I was talking about my seraphium diplothaba. Clothenac. Seraphium diplothaba. Yeah. I'm so glad I fed you your CD.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Well, I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted now. Yeah, but you're drained because of your psychic energies have been used. Alicia, you've won $200. Thank you so much. Congratulations.

Woo! Diane and Tim. Yes. A little story about Darren and Tim. Have a great weekend. It'll be Tim and Diane. Tim and Diane it would be. Play.

ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is the correct term for somebody who is not fully ambidextrous. Ambidextrous is where your right and left hands can do everything, the same as each other. No. What is like, you are. No, this is the term that we use now instead of what you're indicating.

Ambidextrous. It's where you might like write with your right hand, you might do everything with your right hand, but then there's a couple of tasks that you prefer the left. Yeah. This is me. Yeah. I'm left-handed.

Yeah. Which is cat-handed, right? I write with my left. I can't write with my right, but I do everything with my right. Yeah. Other than knife and fork. So some people will be like, you might see some people playing sport left-handed,

and you'll be like, I don't know your left hand. They're like, I'm not a right-hander. There are some cricket players that from their natural stance can, yeah, switch. And do bars. And hit sixes. Yeah. With the opposite hand. I'm just like, yeah, switch. And do bars. And hit sixes. Yeah. With the opposite hand.

I'm just like, that is insane. Yeah, so that isn't called ambidextrous. It is called cross dominance. Also known as, in the olden days, they used to call it non-dominatrix. Sounds like my dominatrix name. Cross dominance. Cross dominance.

She's very cross with you. I'm crossing you. Mixed handedness was what it was called in the old days. Right. This is before they beat it out of you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah, like the example used is in baseball, a lot of the time a left-handed batter can be a right-handed pitcher. Oh, okay. Wow. So, yeah, it's called cross dominance. It's not called ambidextrous. Ambidextrous is where you can literally function the same with your right and left hand.

And like right with everything. And just choose which hand you're going to use. So are many people actually ambidextrous? Only about 1% of people are naturally ambidextrous. Otherwise, you are cross-dominance. Right. Yeah. Okay.

So if you can kind of do stuff with different hands, even though you're right-handed, you might use your left-handed for certain things, that's called cross-dominance, not ambidextrous. Yeah, right. There we go. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.

Play ZM's Fletch, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little pole. I'm sorry. Do you still print physical photos? That's today's the man speak. Do you still print physical photos? That's today's silly little poll.

Do you still print physical photos? Yes, 48%. What? No, 52%. That's a lot. The only time I would ever print a photo is if I was framing a photo as a gift. Yeah, but do you think people took that as, yes, I'd still print a photo? Yeah, but how often do you do that?

Like once every couple of years? Yeah. No, I just don't. No, I don't. I just flick through them on my phone. Because everybody remembers photo albums. No one cares. Not even you.

They just clutter up your space. Oh, there's little sheets as well that covered the photo. They always get dry. Put them on the cloud. If you want to reminisce, go through the cloud at your own time. Where's the romance of the cloud? Yeah, the clouds are romantic. I love sifting through an old family album.

Get a digital photo frame that shuffles through them. You've got to really be careful when you're putting your photos on that, though, don't you? Oh, yeah, like when we were around at your house, you've got that Samsung frame and it was rotating through your photos. You are all welcome. I said I didn't know hairless mole rats came in that colour. And I said, they do. They do. They come in all colours.

Some feedback on it. Josh says, quite honestly, I wouldn't know how to do it if I wanted to. Well, you've got the kiosks, like Warehouse Stationery, Harvey Norman, they've all got them, don't they? Yeah. The pharmacy. Who does the best job? They're all the same, aren all the same Are they all the same

Printing machines Yeah You've got to go matte though People that go gloss You're trash Yeah It's gloss 80s and 90s

They were all shiny Glass by default And then late 90s Matte came about And then the white frame Also became quite popular That was fancy 70s was matte

You know when there's Little squares Yes 60 fancy. 70s was matte, you know, with those little squares. Yes. 60s, 70s. Ah, cool. Tara says, only ever as presents for others. There you go. Megan says, I have a photo cork board in our living area

with old and new photos that we rotate around. It has to be a real pearler of a photo to make the board, and if one goes on, one comes off. Oh, wow. Very strict with the photos. My in-laws have one too and I love when we visit trying to spot new ones or seeing old ones that I've not noticed before.

Oh goodness me. Poppy, I need to so the kids have photo albums. I have a few in the fridge but no albums. Not even our wedding. Aww. Yeah. My three-year-old loves looking at photos so I print them for her and she has a few photo books too. That's cute. Have you got a little budding photographer there? Yeah. My three-year-old loves looking at photos, so I print them for her, and she has a few photo books too. That's cute.

Have you got a little budding photographer there? Yeah. Get yourself a little... Look out. A little photography prize winner on your hands. Joanna, purely for frames, I haven't done an album since high school. The store photo uploaded things...

The store photo uploaded things a frigging nightmare. I want one photo, not 3,500 of my phone up to... Oh, I see what you're saying. When you've got to select them. You know the digital frames? We've got one on our Amazon thing that sits on the bench that's got a screen. And it's like,

select the photos you would like to add to the rotation. Or you can just select all. And I was like, what a dangerous game. Oh, very dangerous. What a dangerous game we play in a wicked web we weave. Tessa said, I do, and when I do, I pick gloss. Oh, I apologize for calling you trash before. Emily said, yes, but only since I had my daughter two years ago

and then they sit in a sleeve and I do nothing with them. P.S., got to go for a classic gloss finish. Yeah, I'm not anti-gloss. Ooh, gloss is yuck. I'm not anti-gloss. Elise would like to know if a new school Polaroid class is as printing out physical photos because technically that's the only option you've got

and it does it right then and there. That's not counted in this poll. That's not counted in this poll. This is where you take a camera or a USB or a memory stick and print it straight off that. Feel free at this very moment as well to jump on our Instagram for another poll, nothing to do with Silly Little Poll. In fact, this is not a Silly Little Poll.

It's a very important poll. Was Scooby-Doo pulling his weight? Absolutely not, in my opinion. You learn things about lifelong friends at different times and make a question of the entirety, foundation of your friendship. Fletch does not believe Scooby-Doo was pulling his weight amongst the gang. Do you want an update on where the polls at currently? By his bumbling, stupid dog.

Hang on. Oh, it's quite split. Yeah, I'm not wrong. That's insane. 51% of people currently are saying, yeah, Scooby-Doo did pull his weight. 49% are saying, nah. And if he did pull his weight. 49% are saying, nah. And if he did pull his weight, it was accidentally. Which is still pulling your weight.

It's still pulling your weight. That's how I pull my weight every day. A guy in Australia was innocently scrolling through the Bunnings Australia website looking for God knows what, because I don't know how he stumbled on this thing. He stumbled across a French horn. An instrument. The instrument, the French horn.

The French horn is the one that curls round like a seashell. Oh, right, yeah. It's got the big horn bit at the end and it curls like that, yeah, and you kind of play it on the side. He came across this unlikely item. Should I keep playing my French horn? French horn's a little higher. Oh, is it?

Yeah. Okay, maybe I'll Google French horn. Axiom Prelude Series French horn, $700. So it's a legitimate instrument. And he was like... For $700? Oh, yeah, listen listen to this That's cheap Feed me

Oh yes Far out The French horn is so nice Imagine this on the building site Yeah Wouldn't this lift the mood I love the French horn That's not a

That's not a string This is my Friday flashback My Friday flashback pick today How old is the song? I actually love it. Same. Enjoy. Oh, the French horn is such a beautiful sound.

You can see why Bunnings is stocking it. Why is Bunnings stocking it? Then he dug a little further. They're also selling a bloody banjo. They are stocking. We don't need a banjo on the building site. Oh, no, I love the banjo. The Carrera five-string resonator banjo in brown, only $200.

Probably not a good banjo. $200. Not for $200, no. How much was the French horn? $700. Okay, that's a bit more spendy, isn't it? But that's cheap for a brass instrument. Yes.

But why? Okay. I know. And he's not making this up. Like he hasn't photoshopped. The instruments are sold exclusively online. But not in store. Through Bunnings Marketplace, where the retailer can offer products from different brands that they don't stock in store.

Huh. There were drones for sale on the Bunnings website. Basketball rings. So they're doing drop shipping now. Like Marketplace. Yeah, I was going to say. So it's like an Australian. website basketball rings they're doing drop shipping now like marketplace yeah I was gonna say so it's like an Australian

so it's not in store it's only online yeah no there's not a French a French horn walking to Bunnings hey I'm worried about

your French horns they're just as quick as they're like they always know they always know they always know if you search Bunnings French horn

it literally takes you to the listing bunnings.com.au because I initially thought it was one of those funny clever If you search Bunnings French Hornet, it literally takes you to the listing. Bunnings.com.au. Because I initially thought it was one of those funny, clever marketing things. Yeah, same. Where they're trolling everybody. Oh, my God.

You scroll down. You might also like the Axiom Student Euphonium. The Axiom Tenor Trombone. What is the Euphonium? Euphonium's the big stand-up guy. Oh, right, okay. Is that what that's called? The medium one.

How bizarre. What do they sound like? Google euphonium. They're a bit deeper. I honestly thought that was a troll. They've got trumpets, violin shoulder rests, clarinets, saxophones. Look at you getting all horned up about your horns. Yeah, but a horn for brass. Get excited about your instruments.

Amps. Come on, Bunnings, New Zealand. Have you guys seen Booking.com and all their trolling? It's genius. Dude, why are they trolling? Are they trolling? They are trolling the world. And they're putting up the shittest houses.

And they're like, hey, Booking.com. Don't forget Booking.com. I know, but the other day I was like, oh, yuck. The algorithm's broken. No, no. So somebody started compiling them because I noticed this as well. I was getting like ads for like these really weird Eastern European like slums or like bedrooms that looked like they were in a bathroom.

Yeah. I got advertised some like side of the road motel. Yes. It looked like it would have been like $30 a night and you'd get murdered there. Yes. Very like an organ harvesting roadside motel. Do a Google looked like it would have been like $30 a night and you'd get murdered there. Yes, like an organ harvesting roadside motel. Do a Google because some people

have started compiling them and I've seen some of them and they're the same ads I'm getting but they are literally trolling the world by advertising the shittest places that you would never stay in and it's working

because people are talking about it. Wow. Yeah, initially I was like, oh, your algorithm's got me wrong. I don't need to stay at this shit in the middle of it. Wow. Yeah, initially I was like, oh, your algorithm's got me wrong. I don't need to stay at this shit hole in the middle of somewhere. Yeah. But yeah, that's what, initially when I saw the Bunnings banjo, I thought it was a bit of a troll.

Yeah. Well, I mean, why not? Good from them. Why not? This feels very Costco, doesn't it? Like Costco would sell homewares and instruments. Coffins and instruments, yeah. And bulk meat.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fletchvorn and Hayley's Monday Maestros. Well, midweek we said goodbye to producer Anna, didn't we? Who set us some tough homework for Monday Maestros over the weeks and months of this year. She sure did. I don't think we nailed most of them.

I'm still moved by your haiku. Thank you. It's beautiful. It's a lovely haiku. I was beaten by Vaughn, though. But his was just a bit more relatable. Yeah. Well, Producer Carwen.

Hello. Are we calling Carwen Carween or Carwen? We haven't decided yet. Producer Carween. Executive Producer Carween. That Producer Carween. Okay. What's our Monday Maestro's homework?

Well, I thought I'd be nice on my first week in charge. We're going to go for something relatively simple. Primary school classic. Repeating the alphabet backwards. Oh, and it's like whoever can do it correct and quickest. I thought you were going to say goose goose duck because you know I've never played that. Goose goose duck.

You can have goose goose duck. No, you can't. There are more ducks than there are geese. That's why it's duck duck goose. I don't know. I've never played that before. Yeah. Well, this is the perfect table for it too, a very round table we work on. We could spin right around. Say again?

So you're going to say the alphabet backwards. Oh. As fast and as clear as possible. No mistakes. C, Y, W. Oh, my gosh. You've already got it. No, he's stopped at W.

Well, I need to think. X. No, no. It was X. No, no, no. You're going backwards. So X is before W. Oh my gosh, you've already got it. No, he stopped at W. Oh, I need to think. X. No, no, it was X. No, no, no, you're going backwards, so X is before W. Let's play goose goose duck instead. Duck, duck, goose. Z, Y, X, W. So you will be judged on time, how long it takes you.

Oh, okay. And how many letters you get. Do you know, even forwards, I go, I have to, in my head, I'm like, A, B, C, D, or if it's like T, I'm like, and I have to do a little, yeah, I have to. Do you pause at the rhythm of the song? You go under the alphabet, ABCDEFG. H-O-J-K-L-M-N-O-P. Yeah.

Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z. All right. And sometimes Y. I'm a speed demon. I'm going to absolutely hooden this. Yeah, you're good at this. But no, we can't look at it, obviously. No, no, no.

No. Alright, well, that's our Monday Maestro's homework. Yes. Monday, join us for the alphabet backwards. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a hell of a podcast. Oh, that was too. Too, too much.

Vaughn took his shoes off. Yeah, I haven't had my shoes on in a while. Yeah. They're still off. That could have been the key to it. I'm just trying to work out if I've still got a sore little toe. I think it's not as sore as it was, so maybe I might pop that shoe back on. Okay.

Yeah, do it. Yeah, good. A bit of a boot situation that you would have heard about in the show. Knockout. No. And you would have heard during the show my statement, my sweeping, outlandish

statement that Scooby-Doo did not carry his weight in Scooby-Doo. Well, disgusting. Utter bullshit. Utter filth. The show was named after him. The shenanigans were always Scooby-Doo-centric. Ay-yi-yi. So we asked you.

He stumbled into everything. Didn't pull his weight. Do you know what you are? You're an asshole. I'm glad someone's finally said it. Thank you. This fucking guy. Well, he's had COVID, so he's lost all taste.

And sense, apparently. Well, we had, well, I'm shutting the poll down now. Okay. We had 3,200 people see the poll. Wow. That's a lot more than political polls have. Yeah, I know. Over 1,200 people voted.

and then I'm going to find their dog, and I'm going to tell their dog that they're human. They bring nothing to the family. Yeah. Their human does not value their contribution to the family whatsoever. Right. Well, we have had some correspondence in during the show, during this heated poll, re-Scooby-Doo.

Yes. Didn't we? Yep. Has that been sent in? Oh, some messages, says Carwin. Yes, we've got some messages. That's why Hayley and I were stalling professionally. Oh, but I was in the Instagram looking at the results,

so I hadn't seen that message come through. Lizzie says, dogs don't need to do any form of physical work to help out. Their presence is a present. She loves a dog. Yeah, but it's not pulling your weight in a murder mystery team, is it? Shane, fucking Oathie did. Dylan didn't pull a regular amount of weight regularly, but would pull a lot of weight when the gang needed it.

Absolute linchpin. Yeah, linchpin. That's a great term. Linchpin of the whole gang, kept them all together. Didn't Scoob just get high and eat Scooby Snacks the entire time? He was spaghetti. He was certainly not pulling his weight at all. No, he's fueling.

He's fueling himself. Well, it was when he took the Scooby Snacks, he did something magical every single time. They were the key to unlocking his full potential. Why in the world, says Isabella, why in the world do you think it would be called Scooby-Doo if he wasn't pulling his weight? Yeah.

And plus he's a dog. How would he ever be able to actually do any human-level investigation? Actually, yeah, we're comparing apples with oranges. We are. Nikita says, if Scooby-Doo doesn't pull his weight, then neither does Fletch. If I've learned anything from the latest animated movie of Scooby called Scoop, which was apparently fucking awful,

it said he's the literal backbone and heart of the gang and he would solve the crime prior to the rest of them. Okay, I probably need to go and watch that one because it sounds pro-Scoob. Yeah. And we're pro-Scoob. Okay, the two of us are very pro-Scoob. A lot tighter than I thought it would be.

Yeah, same. A lot tighter than I thought it would be. It wasn't a controversial call. It's open for debate. I'm disappointed in the results, I'll say. This has crushed my childhood. You know, you live in an echo chamber of fellow scoobitarians. Oh, no.

And you think, oh, I'm mostly here from other pro-scoob scoobocrats. I'm in a scoob bubble. And, you know, there are anti-scoob publicans out there. I know. You know, and maybe we've got to work out what we can come together as one. bubble. And you know there are anti-Scoob publicans out there. I know. And maybe we've got to work out what we can come together as one. Stop this division over Scooby Doo.

Can we all agree Velma's quite a hot lesbian? Yeah she's a hot lesbian. Do you know what? I would. You would. Is she? Yeah she is your type. Nah she's a bit girly for me. She's a bit girly. What are you more of a Daphne or a Velma? I like my men to be absolutely ginormous and my women to look like boys. Yeah.

Right. So you would have been a Daphne. Yeah, I'd have a little Daphne. Quite a bit of masculine energy with Daphne. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Shaggy was shaggier and taller than Fred, so it would be Shaggy over Fred. Not Shaggy. No.

You know I like my boys not too clean, but not Shaggy dirty. Right, not Shaggy dirty. Yeah. Not Shaggy dirty. Have a shower. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, got not shaggy dirty. Right, not shaggy dirty. Yeah. Not shaggy dirty. Have a shower. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Oh, we're going to ad lib on the end of this.
