Download, scan and play the Monopoly game at Macca's to be in to win. There we go. Leave both of those in though, Jared. See what we're doing here
Starting point is 00:00:39 is we're flying blind. Yeah, because what we've done is we've packed up our bags. I've got my backpack on. I'm Dora the Explorer over here. And then Jared is like, hey, hey, hey, where do you think? You're going. So we don't have headphones on. So maybe it's loud or maybe.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Is this loud or quiet? Who knows? I think I'd sit about here and talk at this volume. No, I think. Do you know what? I think you think this is the volume you guys are talking at. I perform with one ear off. so I get the room volume. You talk louder.
Starting point is 00:01:07 You talk so much louder. Really? Me even or just me? Yeah, both of you. We're never going to have a successful NPR podcast if we scream into the microphone. Like a couple of commercial drop yahoos. We've got to bring it down. We've got to bring it down.
Starting point is 00:01:19 This is why I found my transition from the theatre to television and film so hard because I would get on set and I'd be like, Hello, officer! And they'd be like, Whoa, sir, we've got microphones right here. You don't need to be yelling. It's all about this now. ASMR.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Oh, close-up work on the microphone. Hello, can I put you to sleep? Jared looks repulsed. I will jared looks repulsed i will say jared looks repulsed at that i'm gonna help you to go to sleep today okay is that all right who taught you when you moved from theater to radio and television to reduce because there's a couple of people on television that are really screaming into that microphone oh my god i know i'm always like mate you've got a mic yeah I've got someone I can talk to. It takes years.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Is that me? Because I went to drama school and we learned all techniques. Did you drunkenly offer my children singing lessons? When would they have seen? When would I have done that? Not directly to them. No, we were like, hey, this is what I'm behaving. I was like, I don't think I've been drunk around your kids for a while.
Starting point is 00:02:27 No. Sade said. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Were you and Sade drunkenly talking about? Maybe it was Wiggles night. Yes. Yeah, because I used to teach my friends' kids singing in my house, and they'd just come over, and I'd teach them how to sing,
Starting point is 00:02:41 and it was a lot of fun. Is it true that you taught your fiancé to sing? Yeah. He's good. Really? Yeah. But you and it's a lot of fun. Is it true that you taught your fiancé to sing? Yeah. He's good. Yeah. But you don't want a couple of singers. Like, they could want a musical career. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:02:50 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies. Oh, hobbies. Hobbies. Maybe covers band at the pub. No, singing's a good skill to have. Yeah. Singing for your supper.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I've got to tell you, drunk Hayley thinks her schedule's a lot more flexible than sober Hayley's is. Sade said to August, oh, yeah, Hayley said she could teach you to sing. And August was like, oh really? I was like, when did this happen? I always make these kind of promises. I'll teach you how to sing. It's all about confidence and placement.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I'm full of white arrogance. Does that translate to confidence? Yeah. And there's tips and tricks. Yeah, I mean, you've seen all those audition segments on any reality show. White arrogance is in full force. It's 90% of it.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I'll get the girls to be singing in no time. Thank you, Sam. What have we got going on here? It's this one. We just literally moments ago saying we don't like one of the intros to the show. We must get rid of it.

The top six, somebody's forgot they bought a house. Yeah, Kris Jenner, she's like, that's right. $1.6 million on a home. Imagine you're struggling to get on the property ladder
Starting point is 00:05:37 or you're paying these ridiculous mortgage rates. You shouldn't be surprised. Kris Jenner forgot she owns a house. One of. It's truly, I mean, I don't have anything against the Kardashians. I started watching season two last night as I slipped into a nap. And they're getting more and more far away from us. We absolutely only have ourselves to blame for the Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Oh, absolutely. It's like the great plastic ocean spill. You know, the thing that floats around, the great Pacific plastic. It's like the great plastic ocean spill. You know, the thing that floats around the great Pacific plastic. It's like global warming, isn't it? We're to blame.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I'm not going to say it's to blame. Yeah, well, I'm bloody famous for nothing. No, it's famous because people will watch them. Yeah, they're not famous
Starting point is 00:06:16 for nothing. That's on you. That's on us. That's on people we know. Well, the top six are dealing with this soon on the show. The top six other things
Starting point is 00:06:22 Kris Jenner forgot she owed. All right, we're going to start the day, the show with a laugh. A blimmin' good laugh. This got me chuckling quite early on this morning. I prefer to start my day
Starting point is 00:06:34 with some light praising of the big guy upstairs. Yeah, well, tick that one off. Tick, done. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Hayley and I are being ridiculed for having this song on our gym playlist
Starting point is 00:06:46 Oh my god, it is such a good song It's a banger, it's an absolute gym playlist banger I had dinner with my Elton John Yeah, Elton Yeah Last night And it was really fun
Starting point is 00:06:59 No, with my brother-in-law and his family and our two nieces My niece turns to me at dinner, she was like, do you want to know who my favourite songwriter is? And I was like, mmm, and I guessed a bunch of people and then she was like, Britney Spears. She goes, my favourite song that she's ever written is Toxic and I just couldn't bring myself to tell her. She didn't write it?
Starting point is 00:07:17 Oh, she didn't write that, darling. Then she was singing Toxic and I really enjoyed it. But that song's a banger. That's a workout banger. Absolutely. Should we have a giggle? Yes. Because there is a...
Starting point is 00:07:28 Do you want to sound more convinced that you would like to have fun at your job? Should we have a giggle? Yes. Yes. Yep, we will. There is a show in France called C'est Mon Choix. C'est Mon Choix. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And this is from a little bit ago, but the clip has resurfaced online. 5.6 million views to date. And all they did on this show was get a bunch of people who had a strange laugh and put them on stage. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:57 You're single, it's not because of your laugh. I hope not. No. Vous êtes célibataire, c'est pas à cause de votre rire? J'espère pas. Non. What is that? That honestly sounds like people auditioning to be creatures in Star Wars. Sound like a Tusken Raider. How is that guy laughing like that?
Starting point is 00:08:47 I love that. Only one snort and then a big foghorn coming in. All the women are just... It sounded like seagulls, yeah. So this is, I think it's quite an old clip. And this is like, well, people are just putting it on loop. Being like, if you were at work today and you thought, oh my God, I just can't, I can't with this.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Or you're heading to work and you're like, I just can't today. I can't today. That clip. Yes, c'est mon choix. Go on. French TV show invites people with unusual laughs. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, I have a story for you now from Australia that involves a tin of peaches. And I will take this opportunity to
Starting point is 00:09:26 play the song Peaches by the Presidents of the United States. A great song oft forgotten about. I listened to this when I was a kid and me and my best friend thought it was the funniest song ever. I thought it was a comedy number. They were very quirky gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:09:46 A lot of peaches. Yeah. What? Sorry, did you? Peaches. I said peaches. This song is called Peaches. I mean, I know it's called Peaches.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I'd love to move to the country and eat a lot of peaches. A lot of peaches. Well, a man in Perth called Dave went to his local supermarket, Coles, because he likes to eat everyday weety bicks, wheat bics, and he likes to put peaches on them. Yeah, I'm wondering. A classic combo. And what he does is he gets a tin of peaches and he opens them, and I'm imagining he puts one or two onto his wheat bics and then puts the tin back into the fridge. Yeah, we can't have the whole tin.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It's absurd. But then I always remember growing up being scared to death by, I'm assuming, parents and grandparents that you couldn't leave food in a tin. Yeah, what was it? When you open something, you didn't refrigerate tins. Yeah, because I'll always put them in. I've got those little glass dishes with a lid. Oh, must be nice.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Oh, God. What are you... Don't interrupt himself. Or like a little plastic Sistema or something. Oh, must be nice. Oh, God. Or like a little plastic sustainer or something. And you put your leftover canned stuff in that, and then it doesn't... If you can be bothered,
Starting point is 00:10:53 a lot of the time I don't. Just shove the can in. But then, growing up, we'd always feed the cat with jelly meat, and you'd leave the tin of jelly meat in the fridge, because what, it's just a cat? Oh, and then you'd have the jelly meat spoon that you'd leave in the tin, because cat? Oh, and then you'd have the jelly meat spoon that you'd leave in the tin because you're like,
Starting point is 00:11:07 no one can use this spoon. And I'm pretty sure Chef used to give you free rubber lids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get the little rubber lids. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:11:16 And it was, every time you opened it, you'd be like, jelly meat. Mankey. But I mean, that was all right for cats. Are you Googling?
Starting point is 00:11:23 I'm Googling what it is. It seems to have been dispelled I was going to say I feel like these days With food safety and standards They wouldn't make a manky tin The biggest problem they said is If it's not completely airtight
Starting point is 00:11:34 It will absorb flavour and stuff From other parts of the fridge It'll age it But it'll also absorb But your red onion's getting in there Yeah oh you know onion Always put your red onion In a little glass container with a lid.
Starting point is 00:11:45 No, I don't. I always cut it up and then shove it in the bottom of the drawer and get everything of it. I just open the fridge and I just throw it. Yeah, same. I'll find it later. Well, Dave went into his tin of peaches, which apparently had been running for two weeks in the fridge. And that's when he discovered a plunger from a syringe nestled under a peach in his tin. So not the syringe part.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Not the syringe bit. The pushy bit. It's the pushy bit. The bit that you can pull out. That you push down with your thumb. So that was in his tin of peaches. Oh dear. I must play the song again.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Please play a short song. More peaches. And so he went to Coles. He went to the supermarket and told them, and it's blown up in the news, the peaches are apparently peached and tinned in South Africa, and they're having words to the... But also two weeks in the fridge.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Who does he live with? Are we ruling out any flatmates or kids or... I feel like two weeks in the fridge is like where you... That's too long for anything tinned to be sitting in there. Had he been away? It's an 800 gram tin of peaches. So it's a big tin.
Starting point is 00:12:55 You still get through that in two weeks. But maybe he's just doing one or two little peaches. Maybe he went keto halfway through opening it. I was like bugger it. I was lucky he didn through opening it. Yeah. I was like, bugger off. I was lucky he didn't put it in his mouth and then, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:08 just felt the lump. Oh, yeah. Play the other president's song, Lump. Well, I don't get that. Can't wait till we talk about lumps. Well, I know, but I'm only playing that
Starting point is 00:13:16 when we talk about lumps. Right. So when you talk about lumps. But if they'd put the peach in his mouth, the syringe in his mouth, it would have been a lump in his mouth.
Starting point is 00:13:23 No. Fetching me. No, no. I'm going to need a full story about lumps until I play that song, Lumps. I've got a story next about lumps. No, you don't. I do. Lumps of what? Lumps in your pocket after your pants have been through the washing machine.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Are we just going to play Presidents all morning? I believe so. Okay. It's a crime that Gen Z haven't grabbed this band with both hands and TikTok'd it. Are you sure they haven't already? People have been like, moving to the country. Ah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:59 An American Idol cover version. It's a cinema for a white girl with a guitar. I bet, I almost guarantee somebody has. Peaches come in a can. What do you call that? You can call that like an earnest. I don't know, like singer-songwriter. White sad girl in room with guitar.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Doing something weird with her throat. Justin Bieber's because he did a song called Peaches and now all the songs are just like that. Play ZM's Fletch for the Nelly. Play ZM. The average Briton loses 22 pounds in the washing machine
Starting point is 00:14:38 every year because that's still an old paper money you see. They're phasing it out, aren't they? They are. There's new polymer notes coming in,
Starting point is 00:14:44 more like owls. But they said even these... There's new polymer notes coming in, more like ours. But they said even these... Plastic-y. Yeah, yeah, yeah, plastic-y. Because ours can go through the wash fine, eh? Yeah, waterproof. Yeah. Well, they said even their new polymer notes are prone to shriveling or ripping.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Oh. I mean, ours can rip. Once you get a little slice, eh? Yeah. It's all over. It's all over. Are you allowed to sellotape that up? Because I've had one once. Yes. As long as the number on each side matches. It's all over. Are you allowed to sellotape that up? Because I've had one once.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yes. As long as the number on each side match. It's the same? Yeah. Okay. And you can take in one half of a $20 note to the bank and you can exchange it for a 10, as long as you can see one of those numbers.
Starting point is 00:15:18 No, you can't. Yeah. That sounds like a load of rubbish. Our economics and accounting teacher told us that at high school and we were all just like, I don't know if he was just trying to get us to rip money in half so he could laugh at us, but nobody did. But everybody put it in their pocket for later.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I think we should double check that. Yeah, let's double check that. Can someone go test that today, please? I don't want to do it. Rip that up. Rip a five, see if they'll give you 250. So, yeah, this is one of the many reasons why they're changing. And I mean, what a great time to change,
Starting point is 00:15:43 given that they're going to have to change the money anyway because the monarch on the money has changed. This survey wasn't conducted by a washing machine company either. Do you think that's why they waited so long? Because the Queen was hanging in there? They're like, we could do this now. You would think they'd have an early true shower. I think they did, but then every year she survived. And Charles has aged drastically in the last 2000s. I think they did, but then every year she survived.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And Charles has aged drastically in the last seven years. They showed something of him in 2015. And then... We're going to have to change out Williamson, aren't we? God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Lucky I'm not in charge of money. This would be very stressful. I hope he gets his first coin before he gets a bit jowly, you know? Yeah, yeah. You want your first coin because how good did Elizabeth look in those early days? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Oh, no, he doesn't have much. He's already lost all that. Oh, yeah, Lizzie's early side profile. Oh, stunning. Beautiful. Almost Roman. Yes. Almost Roman in its profile.
Starting point is 00:16:39 But, yeah, so they're changing their money. Not because of this, but because of the monarchs changed. Some other astonishing facts about losing money. 21% of the money that goes through the wash is in coins. So of course that survives the wash. Oh, right. So they get that back. But the coins are going to have to be changed too.
Starting point is 00:16:58 So this would be a great opportunity for them to change their coins. Yeah. I was about, oh, when we changed our coins, don't look back. Oh, yeah. So, lighter. But we still refer to size as, in relation to an old 50 cent coin. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I always say that. How big is it? Like, you go to Aussie and they've got that big, chunky, monkey 50 cent coin and you're like, look at the moon size. They're $2. $2 is smaller than their one. It makes no sense. It makes little to no sense.
Starting point is 00:17:26 They're actually trying to replace Steve Irwin with the Queen. Yeah, I've heard that. On the $5. There's a real growing. I don't know you've put that round the way. Oh, they replace the Queen with Steve Irwin. I was going to say, yeah, it's nice putting her back on there. But yeah, there's a bit of a growing movement to make that happen.
Starting point is 00:17:40 That would be cool. Which would be great, I think. Because do they. Icon. They do have... Because we've got our Edmund Hillary, Upper Aranata, Lord Ernest Rutherford, Kate Sheppard and the Queen on our 20.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Yes, they do. Do they have famous Australians? Yeah, famous white Australians. Right. So another one to the list then was Steve. Yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. But they've got...
Starting point is 00:18:04 Is it just their Australians and then... The Queen on the other side. The, cool, cool. But they've got, is it just they're Australians and then the Queen on the other side? The Queen on the other side. Yeah, we've got the birds. We've got a bird and a celeb.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Hell of a pairing. And a celeb. We wouldn't change our celebs though. We still stand by those celebs. Oh yeah, I mean Sue Red climbed Everest. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:18:21 He's not getting bumped off anytime soon. No, he's not getting bumped. He's not getting bumped. Someone's got to do something extraordinary. I've seen some of Kate Shepard's tweets lately that I'm getting a bit... He's not getting bumped off No he's not getting bumped Someone's got to do Something extraordinary I've seen some of Kate Shepard's tweets lately

Starting point is 00:21:53 one or two million draws. Oh, what am I going to do with that? Oh, it must be nice. Oh. A couple of silver spoons. No, it's because you never win. So why waste your money? Because you want to...
Starting point is 00:22:04 What, you think you've got more chance of winning at $23 million than you do at one? Yes. He's familiar with basic. I know, but I just can't bring myself to waste the money. It's got more chance of being won at $23 million, but that's just because so many more people are buying tickets, right? But I'm just like, if I'm going to waste my money, I'm going to waste it for a big one.
Starting point is 00:22:24 You know what I mean? If I'm going to waste my money, I'm going to waste it for a big one. You know what I mean?

It's a heavily underfunded sport and we're working on it. Thank you for bringing attention to it. Oh, you know me. I'm actually currently running a fundraiser.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Are you guys going to buy a $20 Bantam's Up ticket? You're not that person at the workplace. You know, like, mums at the workplace are like, little Timmy's doing a raffle for sports. Buy a chocolate bar
Starting point is 00:23:30 for $2. Yeah, well. I recently was asked to partake in a raffle. Now, tell me what you think of the legality of this. Okay. I was asked to partake
Starting point is 00:23:38 in a raffle that would depend on the lotto numbers. So there were 40 numbers up for grabs. Oh, yeah, I know this. And so you buy your ticket for 10 bucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And if your one is the first one out, so what would be the first number in strike, you win the big prize. Yeah. So they're saying, there's no way we can rig this. This is in the hand of the lotto gods. I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:00 are you allowed to run a money-making venture alongside lototto? Well, raffles and sweepstakes do not require a license if the prizes are under $5,000. Okay. I'm assuming you can do what you want. But it was piggybacking off Lotto. I've never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I think that's good, though. Totally. There's no way they can be rigged. Yeah. And they're just random numbers. This is another way of getting random numbers. My mum never liked us doing these fundraisers because she always worried someone was going to accuse us of cheating.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Whereas if they bought family-sized pies or plastics, you know, they were getting what they paid for. Yeah. Yes. They're getting what they paid for, Vaughan. They're getting what they paid for. Well, the winners of this... Wait, wait, what's your raffle?
Starting point is 00:24:43 What's your fundraiser? Marchings. It's called Batten's Up. What is it? Oh this... Wait, wait, what's your raffle? What's your fundraiser? Marchings. It's called Batten's Up. What is it? Oh, okay. Why is it called Batten's Up? Am I allowed to say this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Well, I just want to know roughly like... Well, you should sell someone... So the first prize, you can win a thousand bucks. That's the top prize. Oh. And then there's two lots of 500. And then there's...
Starting point is 00:24:59 But is it raffle tickets? How much money are you making off this thing? Two lots of 250 and then five 100s, 10 50s. And you go in... How much are you you making off this thing? Two lots of $250 and then five $100s, $1050s. How much are you giving away? You're giving away all your money. Yeah, I know, but you sell like 300 tickets. Well, just give away one prize of $1,000.
Starting point is 00:25:14 No, that's not how it works. You get incentive because they're $20 tickets. Right. $20? Yeah. Do I get a little raffle ticket? I'll get you a little ticket. What number do you want? What ones have you got? I get a little raffle ticket? I'll get you a little ticket. What number do you want?
Starting point is 00:25:26 What ones have you got? I want a green club. I reckon you're a 223 over here. Oh, am I? All the marching girls will be so annoyed that I'm using this right now. Well, no, no, no. You're the 23rd of June. It's your birthday.
Starting point is 00:25:37 So 23's got a little bit of value in there. And I'm born in February, which is the second month. So 223, we could go in on that. We could have a little marching syndicate. Hang on a sec, though. Is this done under police supervision, this draw? Yeah. Because how do we know that they're not just rigging it and taking all the money?
Starting point is 00:25:52 It's live streamed. And you can attend the raffle. You can attend the draw. Okay, I'll certainly be attending. Where is this event? It'll be at our training ground. I'll pack a real sucker if I don't win, though. Yeah, I'm not going all the way to Mount Albert.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Yeah, Aaron, every year, I'm like, Aaron, what number do you want for Bantam Zappi? He's like, I don't care anymore. Okay, so you're going to take two, two, three. I reckon you've got a six, seven vibe. Just straight 67. Yeah. You've fallen a couple short of nice.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I know, I've already sold that one. That one was whipped up quite quickly. Oh, was it? It's already gone. Oh, you already sold it. Well, this is all we're... Oh, there you go. Well, I've sold quickly. Oh, was it? It's already gone. Well, this is all we're... There you go. I've sold two of my batons up.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Fantastic. Well, this is all we can win now because the big lotto prize is gone. It's gone and it went to a group, a syndicate. So 23 million was split between 24 people, meaning... Too big. They're all just short a little bit.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Like, what, they get 900 odd A billionaires Thousand dollars I mean that's amazing That would be A great amount of money to have But I'll tell you what Would be even better
Starting point is 00:26:51 23 million Because I've just I've mentioned in the past That I'm part of a syndicate In my marching team How many And we're 14 See too many people
Starting point is 00:27:00 Yeah You need I think your syndicate's Got to be five max Yeah I was thinking four for a square Okay, four So a couple of couples Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:10 Oh no, I would think I would represent our couple in the syndicate Right Oh yeah So you could have up to eight people technically Yes, eight couples But 24, too many This is what happens Yeah, well it's been divided I mean they're all elated Eight couples. But 24, too many. This is what happens.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah, well, it's been divided. I mean, they're all elated. They get 900 and something. I mean, not to be scoffed at. That would be really nice. Or it would be incredible. No, they're all going to put them towards houses. Some of them are going to retire early. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:27:39 There's a little tractor in there, you know. You would finally get your little tractor. I could finally get a little tractor in there, you know. You would finally get your little tractor. I could finally get my little tractor. You guys ready for a tropospheric polar vortex? A what? A tropospheric polar vortex. Tropospheric. Tropospheric polar vortex.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Well, the polar vortex is where it's... What are those vitamin C sachets? They're lipospheric vitamins. Every time I say tropospheric, I'm on the verge of saying lipospheric vitamins, which I have out of the sachet. You love one of those. Straight from the sachet. I just rip the top off and just slump it down. Like an Iron Man with a little gel sachet.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I see myself as a bit of an iron man. You know, I can eat a huge, huge bowl of Nutri-Grain and then do nothing all day. Does that make me an iron man? It does.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Absolutely it does. Yeah, it does. I used to eat a dog bowl out of a dog bowl when I was at university. It was a dickhead. Don't worry about it. It was clean. It was never for a dog. I purchased it for my own cereal bowl because then I would know it was my bowl.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Yeah, yeah. And no one dared eat out would know it was my bowl. Yeah, yeah. And no one dare eat out of the big dog's bowl. Right. And I used to eat a big dog bowl of Nutri-Grain every morning and then do nothing all day. And I wondered why I was piling on weight. Because I was eating the Iron Man food. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Shouldn't I just be an Iron Man? But not running an Iron Man. Absolutely not even an Iron Man. Absolutely. Not even close to it. I wasn't even running an aluminium man or a scrap metal man. Tinfoil man. Barely. This tropospheric polar vortex is bad news because at the weekend,
Starting point is 00:29:16 I looked at my oil column heater and thought, I don't need you anymore. What was it? Were you in the 1920s? No, I've just got this. It's an amazing heater. Amazing heater. Does it have a little fan in it? Were you in the 1920s? No, I've just got this amazing heater. Does it have a little fan in it? Yeah. I laughed, but we
Starting point is 00:29:29 had one with a fan in it. Oh, they're great. It's pretty amazing. And do you know what? I'll put this in the lock up. I'm going to have to get it. Because at the end of this week, temperatures are plummeting. No, from tomorrow. Because I felt it was colder this morning I woke up.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Very cold. Last night was miserably cold. I was outside in the rain, attending to farming duties that I'll tell you about a little bit later. It was bloody freezing outside last night. To give you an idea, down south it's 4
Starting point is 00:30:01 in Dunedin at the moment, minus 1 in Queenstown, 3 in Christchurch. Omadar, the coldest place, at minus 2.9. So, yes, no. Was my grandmother, RIP Rita, she was an October baby. October 13th was her baby. It was her birthday. And she always said, if it gets warm before my birthday, don't count on it, it's not going to last, it's a trick.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yes. Oh, okay, yeah, right. You know how grandparents have always got a weather thing? Yeah. Always got a weather thing. I don't mean to speak ill of your dead grandmother,
Starting point is 00:30:31 but global warming. No, you can't say a single word. But global warming. Oh, no, no, no. Definitely. This was in her time. Yeah. She said this as she burnt
Starting point is 00:30:38 her plastic rubbish, had a coal range going, went in an electric oven was definitely an option. Yeah. You know, just started her car. She probably dug a lot of holes for the rest of the rubbish
Starting point is 00:30:48 that wouldn't fit in the fire. Well, where are those tyres going to be burned? You've got to dig a hole to burn them in there. I think we've found our scapegoat. I think we have. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Very exciting morning for us.
Starting point is 00:31:05 We listen to him on the radio every day. We love Benson Boone and oh my God, I'm looking at him with my own eyeballs. Welcome. Thank you so much. It's very nice to be here, like finally. Have you been to New Zealand before? No, this is the first time.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Do you know what? We just got our very first, like a week ago, our very first Costco. In preparation for your arrival. Whoa. In preparation, yeah arrival. In preparation. Yeah, yeah. We just wanted to make you feel at home, have some sort of nice sort of comfort.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Totally. Where is this Costco? Miles away. Miles away. And do you know it's been so popular, it still takes like hours to get in with lines. Like it's insane. It's like one of those. Is it like that in America?
Starting point is 00:31:43 And you got to have like a, you got to have a Costco card. Yeah. It's insane. It's like one of those. Is it like that in America? Yeah. And you got to have like a, you got to have a Costco card. Yeah. It's weird. I tried to go to Costco literally the other day and I totally forgot you need one. And my mom has one, but like. I've got one. Yeah. We can try.
Starting point is 00:31:55 What do you need? No, flex on, no, flex on. I'm just leaving Benson Boone in the know. I've got a Costco's card, mate. I can take you out there. Yeah. I can take you to Costco. Yeah, I can take you out.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I got a Costco card. Yeah, I can take you out. Who do you come to New Zealand? If you're really missing late-stage consumerism and gluttonous purchasing of things we don't really need. We come to the most beautiful countries in the world. We're like, we're going to Costco. So I guess we're pretty great. Has everyone here been to Costco?
Starting point is 00:32:18 I have. No. No, I haven't been. Vaughan got Tide Pods because we couldn't get Tide Pods. God, welcome haven't been. Vaughn got Tide Pods because we couldn't get Tide Pods. God, welcome to New Zealand. We've been washing our clothes like peasants over here. Just before we started this interview, Fletch brought attention to my brown banana
Starting point is 00:32:35 and then I was like, tell everyone in America this is how we eat bananas. I'm just worried about what you're going to go home with now. Okay, so they are fascinated by Tide Pods. Yeah, well, they got Costco. That's their upside. But they eat brown bananas and they don't wash their clothes. So what else do you have planned for your time in New Zealand? After this, I'm going to the big tall skinny building.
Starting point is 00:33:00 The Sky Tower? And I'm jumping off. Yeah. Oh, that is so much fun. I'm so pumped. It's so much fun. I'm so pumped. It's so much fun. They kind of, like you free fall, but.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And they haven't had a death in what, two weeks now? That's pretty good. Oh, no, they were sicker last week. Longest streak. Last week. Sicker last week.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Well, that means if something happened last week, then that means something probably won't happen for another couple of weeks. Oh, I remember because they were losing three a day
Starting point is 00:33:23 at one stage. So I'm sure you'll be fine. Okay. You'll be sweet. Yeah. Just that they smell. I consider myself a lucky guy,
Starting point is 00:33:30 so I think I'll be fine. It's Benson Boone in studio with us. We've been talking more Costco. Guys, I feel like Benson's not here to talk about Costco.
Starting point is 00:33:39 We're talking about your album. Oh, yeah. That too. Walk Me Home. Walk us through it. That was quite too. Walk Me Home. Walk us through it. It was quite good. Walk Me Home.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Walk Me Home is like my first body of work that I've ever released. And it's been like, it's been, you know, quite a process. I've been writing for like about a year now. And those, like some of those songs were literally like the first ones I ever wrote. Yeah. And so this has kind of been the build-up of my emotions over the past year. They've been very much like therapy for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I don't have a therapist, so I just write songs instead. Music is the therapy. Because do you feel the pressure? I mean, I don't want to put the pressure on the album if you don't feel it, but do you feel the pressure? I mean, I don't want to put the pressure on the album if you don't feel it. But do you feel the pressure of it? Because you're saying like, this is my first big body of work that I'm putting out there. But the two singles that you've already put out
Starting point is 00:34:32 just have gone crazy. People love them. Yeah, it is. It's crazy. Yeah, there's pressure. It's crazy to think about sometimes. Hopefully the rest of it is good. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:43 There's a bit of pressure. But also at the same time, I mean, you have to start with the foundation of it is good. Yeah, yeah. There's a bit of pressure, but also at the same time, like, I mean, you have to start with the foundation of songs, like, so I can do shows. And it's hard to play a show, you know, when I just have three songs out, because I'll sing, like, other songs and no one sings along, and it's like...
Starting point is 00:34:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, now, this, like, these couple shows, the ones I did in Australia, the ones I did here, like, this is my first time hearing songs from my EP being sung back to me. And it's pretty amazing. How old are you? I'm 20. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I was such a dirtbag when I was 20. And you're traveling the world making beautiful music that we listen to every morning. You never know. I could be a full-on dirtbag too. Yeah, you could be. We don't know this. But listening to your music, I'm going to assume you're not. You never know. I could be a full-on dirtbag too. Yeah, you could be. We don't know this. But listening to your music, I'm going to assume you're not.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You're like sensitive. Like you said, you're putting all of your emotions into this. Any club bangers? Any sort of Britney collab vibes? You might not have heard of Britney Spears.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that one, that one I have heard of. But yeah, I've been writing a lot over the past couple months. And definitely like I think I'm going to do a little transition from like make you cry to make you want to dance, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:55 So we're going to try a little new era of Benson Boone. And I'm excited for it. I love that he's 20 and he's already thinking about the next era of Benson Boone. Oh, yeah. Gotta have a plan. My favorite type of music is when they make me cry while I dance.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Wow. You know what I mean? Tell me a little bit more about that. So I'm dancing so hard I'm like, oh my God, this is incredible.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So I hope that's what we can have. Does Britney Spears do that to you? Always. Wow. All right. Be against the music, man.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Benson, thank you so much for joining us. I cannot wait to hear the whole EP, Walk Me Home, because what I heard so far is just incredible. You're amazing. What a talent. Thank you so much. Thank you guys for having me.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I'm just chucking ideas out there. I love a bit of music. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I remember when there was wild controversy at the Fungimata Snapper Competition. Do you? What happened? We weren't in it, but we were hanging around down by the wharf,
Starting point is 00:36:50 doing jumps off the wharf. Was this one New Year's? It was, well, I don't know if it was New Year's. It was over summer at some stage. We were on a family holiday there. And the story was that somebody had caught a big snapper at some other time and chucked it in the freezer. And then when the competition began, took it out and let it defrost.
Starting point is 00:37:09 And then brought it in and caught this one and weighed it. And it was very, very big, very, very heavy. Right. But then someone was like, what's this, like, deterioration? Because you know how you freeze. You can tell it fresh fish. Totally. The eyeballs.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Totally. So it froze and they unfroze. And then it was, you know, someone said, that fish has been frozen. And then there was almost bloody fisticuffs down there over a couple of Waikato drafts. Oh dear, that's bad. Well, especially when there's a prize in a fishing competition. Well, the prize might have been a bloody Shimano reel.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I don't know any other fishing reels. I don't know any other. Shimano do bikes. They're a gears company. I just got my bike fixed and got Shimanos. I don't want to brag, but I've got Shimanos. What's that thing that the chain goes around? I've got one of those.
Starting point is 00:37:55 The cogs. The cogs, yeah, one of those. The gear system. And I've got a new chain. I tell you what, I'm going to be racing. We did some skips in the chain, were you? Yeah. $18 for a new chain. I thought that was good for a chain, eh? That's pretty good. It's good to know. You didn't cheap out on the in the chain, were you? Yeah. $18 for a new chain?
Starting point is 00:38:05 I thought that was good for a chain. That's pretty good. It's good to know. It is cheap out on the chain, though, did you? I don't know. They discharged me that. I'm just saying you can afford a nice chain. You shouldn't want too cheap.
Starting point is 00:38:14 You took it to a professional place. I think it should be $180 for a chain. Are they getting it from Alibaba? No, it was a proper one. I was like, that's cheap for a chain. I don't know. If you said to me yesterday, how much is a chain? I'd be like, I don't know, $200?
Starting point is 00:38:28 Look how resistant we are to getting a bargain, eh? We're like, no, where's the twist? Yeah. Because we were bought out by a pessimistic woman in the 1980s. Yep. And it's the carryover to this generation. I was very cynical. I love when a boy, and this happened recently in the chess world,
Starting point is 00:38:44 I love when a controversy rocks a boring sport. Yes. You know, like there is, I find fishing so boring. This wasn't, to me, there's different levels of fishing. You fly fishing on a river. To me, that's just all about getting out in nature and relaxing and listening to the bubbling. And if you get it, you get to catch a fish and you put it back in
Starting point is 00:39:05 and whatever there's a you're not there for the whizzing and swearing and Clark Goffin's over your shoulder that sort of thing and then you get to
Starting point is 00:39:13 your big sea fishing which are those dudes that or dudettes that I meant dude as a completely non-judged term by the way I'll refer to Hayley my dude
Starting point is 00:39:21 I identify as dude for sure totally so dudes of all. That jump in with a knife and stab them. Well, no, they get it on and then they put on that belt and then they sit in the seat and strap the finger and then they fight this marlin, you know, for hours and hours. That's more of your thrilling end of fishing.
Starting point is 00:39:36 This was a lake. This was lake fishing. This was lake. But this is in America, this controversy. Correct. And two competitors stuffed a walleye, which is what the fish is called, from Lake Erie in Ohio with lead weights.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Oh my god. This happened because after weighing it, after weighing it, which the guy said to look at them, he would have thought they were about four pounds each. Yeah, because that's the thing, you can't make the fish bigger. No. And there was five of them, and he said four pounds each.
Starting point is 00:40:06 He's like, I reckon this is going to be 20 pounds. And he picked it up, and it was 34. And he's like, something's not right here. And when he chucked them back in the bin, he heard like a hard, like this. Oh, yeah. That's not a fish sound. A fish doesn't thud like that. Hard thud.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Right. He's like, what's going on here? So he got a knife, looked at his knife, run it up the gut, put his fingers in. Hooked it. Hooked it, two fingers, and then pulled out a large lead ball. And he's like, we got
Starting point is 00:40:35 weights and fish! You've got to see the video. We got weights and fish! And then this guy who's been caught is just standing there like, I did not pre-prepare a line. Did he put it in through the mouth? I don't know if he went in through the mouth or he'd made another incision. Right. Because you know how you can make
Starting point is 00:40:51 like a kill incision. Yeah, yeah. But then also I don't know if you're part of a fishing competition, do you gut them before you weigh them? Because if you leave the guts in, it always renders them unable to be eaten. You wouldn't touch them. You wouldn't be allowed to touch them, surely. No, it's not like ordering snapper fillets at Pack and Save. Right. You leave the touch them. You wouldn't be allowed to touch them, surely. No, it's not like ordering snapper fillets at Pack and Save. Right. You leave the gut
Starting point is 00:41:07 in. So, it turns out these guys, this is not their first rodeo. They have won first place in other years, other competitions, one of which they scored a prize that was worth $30,000. Jeepers. And then
Starting point is 00:41:23 after that scored the prize, somebody found a lead ball in one of those fish. Right. So they have also won, and they said in the tens of thousands of dollars, they came first in each of the three previous Lake Erie walleye trail events. So that's in June, July, and September this year.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Over this summer alone, raking in tens of thousands of dollars, and they've won several other tournaments elsewhere. And do you reckon they've been cheating this whole time? Yeah, that's the thought. Do you think it's one of those Lance Armstrong situations where the pressure to win when you've been fishing and winning is too much? You can't be the losers.
Starting point is 00:42:00 You can't come off the lake and be a loser. So you inject yourself with anabolic steroids. To make your heart process more oxygen. That'd be a better way of doing it. Could you inject them with some kind of heavy fluid? Oh, like a icing. Like mercury. Because then it wouldn't be so obvious that it was
Starting point is 00:42:17 like a... I mean, I hope to God no one's going to eat that fish. They will be dead before it even begins to digest. Ross Robertson, a professional angler and also extensive fishing author, has said in the last few years, prizes, like prize money, has really increased exponentially in the fishing circuit. And it's led to a lot more cheating. You know what they need to do is borrow the local airport x-ray machine,
Starting point is 00:42:43 put a fish in one of those plastic tubs, go through the machine and x-ray every fish before they weigh it. It's the only way. It's the only way to go from here. And then you'll also make sure that the fish don't have guns at the same time. Or explosives. There's Mr. Robertson, you'll remember
Starting point is 00:42:59 him, professional angler and also extensive fish author. Extensive fish author. He said, these are the other myriad of ways we've caught people cheating lately. They have friends deliver pre-caught fish to them, so from outside the area where fish go bigger, but of the same species. They fish in prohibited
Starting point is 00:43:16 areas. Imagine that. In the curramand or those snapper that are like ginormous. Goat Island up the coast. Because you could get a fish from a marine protected area that's real big and juicy
Starting point is 00:43:28 and then get it. Obviously that's illegal. We're not encouraging that. Wildly illegal. You do do that tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Get your James Bond
Starting point is 00:43:35 scuba gear on with the fish under your arm and go up to your mate's boat and hook it onto the line and swim away. the fish that you get from the marine reserve is alive you've sort of fishnapped it. Yeah, I've fishnapped
Starting point is 00:43:48 it in a net. Jesus is Finding Nemo 3. Yeah, I know. And I'd use one of those James Bond, you know those little handheld submarine scissors? Oh yeah, they're good fun. Can you use those one-handed? Because I'm assuming you've got the fish under the other arm. No, I've got a bag for my fish. Bagging the fish? Yeah, yeah. It's in a backpack. And then I can two-hand
Starting point is 00:44:03 marine James Bond thing. Okay, so you're laughing, but another way they caught people cheating was they had put fish in cages before the competition. So they'd gone fishing, caught a big one, put it in a cage, and then on the day of the competition,
Starting point is 00:44:18 gone back to the cage. But how do they get it out? Stuff them with ice. Well, they have to go down. Imagine they go down with a snorkel or a mask. But you're going to notice that if you're doing a fishing competition and someone jumps off the wall. You'd have a cage on a buoy and you'd pull up and you'd hook the buoy.
Starting point is 00:44:33 You'd gaff the buoy and you'd pull up the rope. It's a lot of effort. I mean, it's a lot of effort to go to, but then these prizes are worth tens of thousands sometimes. Yeah, big money. Well, that's what he said, the difference between first and second in a prize competition where first prize won $15,000
Starting point is 00:44:47 and second place got 100 was only a few ounces. So he said, and in that case, you know, people were accused of stuffing them with ice because in the weigh-in,
Starting point is 00:44:57 it's there, but then it melts. Perfect weapon. That's so good. Yeah. Ice is the only way. You know what? If the last bastion
Starting point is 00:45:07 of trustworthy humans, the fishes, yeah, a fisherman and fisherwoman everywhere can't be trusted, maybe it's time we packed up and left. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. There's been a poll of the greatest breakup songs of all times.
Starting point is 00:45:27 If I should stay. Whitney. Whitney's number one. Whitney's version. Is this number one? This is number one. Oh, no, it's not. I'm full of lies.
Starting point is 00:45:40 It's number two. This countdown, this countdown. Higgledy-piggledy. You pulled the trigger on Whitney far too early. It's all right. This countdown, this countdown. Higgledy-piggledy. You pulled the trigger on Whitney far too early. It's all right. Number two, Whitney. Well, it's not your fault.
Starting point is 00:45:50 It's Fletch's fault. You weren't going to say Whitney, and then Fletch pulled the trigger on Whitney. But it's sad. I just wanted to play a sad song. It's ultimately sad. Dolly Parton's original version is very... Oh, it's even sadder. It's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Yeah. All right, hang on. We've got to wait for the... He's going to hear it. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. The silence here. God, no wonder it's... Might be the best silence in music, I think.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Oh, wow. Okay, big call. Big pause. The only reason it doesn't stay sad is because then she's like... She just goes huge with it. Yeah. Great song. So they narrowed it down to 30.
Starting point is 00:46:21 There's some good ones in here. Natalie Imbruglia, Torn. I was going to say, there was no other Natalie Imbruglia song. But that's quite up, that song, though. Yeah, Beyonce's Single Ladies. It's not all about sad. It's break-up songs. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:32 So sometimes it's good. Boys to Mend, End of the Road. Oh, yeah. Great funeral song, that one, too. So if they've broken up with you because they're dead, there's a double whammy there. Number 10, No Doubt, Don't Speak. Okay. So the top five.
Starting point is 00:46:50 There's got to be some Adele in there. Top five, Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive. Upbeat breakup song. I'm out of here. Adele, number four. Someone Like You. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah. You remember when she first performed that at the Brit Awards and she actually was crying? Yeah. Everyone, the world is so happy when Adele goes through a breakup. It means we're going to get a great album. She's too happy. You want sad musicians.
Starting point is 00:47:20 We want to keep her sad down and out. Oh, no. Let her out. Let her out. Chris Martin needs to be miserable for a bit. No. Oh, no. Let her out. Let her out. Chris Martin needs to be miserable for a bit. No. He needs to be dumped. They've been miserable enough. It's time for somebody else to be miserable.
Starting point is 00:47:31 We want new music. Number three, Fleetwood Mac, Go Your Own Way. Oh, yeah, that's a great song. Yeah, it's a goodie, more of an upbeat. Go Your Own Way. It's more like get out of here. Yeah. Number two, Winnie Houston, I Will Always Love You.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Number one, Amy Winehouse. Yeah. Back. Yep. Two. Yep Love You. Number one, Amy Winehouse. Yep. Back. Yep. To. Yep. Rehab. No, Back to Black.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Now, this is in the explicit version, so where does the swear word happen? Well, we'll just stop it before. Oh, no, I know it. I'll say it. Oh, no, okay, this is the non-explicit version. This is a great song. I would have thought Tears Dry on Their Own would have been a better breakup song. You go back to her.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Oh, yeah, I know what this is. Don't worry about it. But these are the songs that we turn to when we get broken up with. They're kind of ruined, don't you think? If you were to get dumped by someone and then you went and turned on Amy Winehouse, Back to Black, you'd be like, I can't listen to it anymore. That song would be synonymous with your ex because you use that as like a mourning,
Starting point is 00:48:28 like a tool to get over them. This is, it has been so long since I've been broken up with. My song that I got broken up with, very, very old song. In fact, I don't even think people listening would know it. When you got broken up with on Christmas Day, is that the song? What song did you turn to? Was it I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus?
Starting point is 00:48:51 It was white Christmas. It was brand new on the radio. That being Crosby, he's got chops. No, it was a band called Killing Heidi. Do you remember Killing Heidi? I can't remember which Killing Heidi song it was. I'll be able to tell from this. It had dreadlocks.
Starting point is 00:49:03 It was this one. Yeah, Heidi. I assume that was her name. The lead singer of Killing Heidi. Oh my god. Poor little Moshe Vaughan. Christmas Day. His family are excited to be opening presents
Starting point is 00:49:17 and he's just crying under the Christmas tree. The weather reflected my mood that Christmas. It was raining. This wasn't their biggest song though. What was their biggest song? What's number one on the streaming? Mascara. Live Without It?
Starting point is 00:49:33 I mean... I mean, I just listened to this cab with a double CD. Oh, my God. This is so crazy. Yeah, it is. Can we take some calls?
Starting point is 00:49:44 When did an ex ruin a song for you? Yes. Either because it reminds you of being with them or you used it to break up or get over them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You used it for a bit of comfort, a bit of a comfort cry. Or maybe you got married and you walked down the aisle to it and now you're divorced.
Starting point is 00:50:02 And you can't stand that song. And you can't stand it. And that's sad because it could be a beautiful song. Or maybe you were married to a woman called Jolene and she hurt you. And now you can't listen to any song with the name Jolene in it. Because there's literally one.
Starting point is 00:50:15 That would be an interesting song to hear Jolene from the partner of Jolene's side of things. Yeah. Or maybe early 2000s band Killing Heidi has been ruined for you. Maybe. Because you were dumped on Christmas Day.
Starting point is 00:50:27 You know what, it's been, coming up, it's been 22 years and I think I'm ready to listen to Killing Heidi again. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Do you know where I was? I went to this show in like 2004 and saw her there. Oh, your ex? Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I said, I thought I got this in separation. I thought I got this in separation. I thought I got Killer Heidi. All right, well, 0800DARLSATM, we want to take your calls. You can text as well, 9696. What song has an ex ruined for you
Starting point is 00:50:55 that you just can't listen to now? We'll line them up and we'll listen to them a little bit. Yeah, we'll listen to them all. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Well, the saddest breakup songs, the list has been released after a study out of the UK. Amy Winehouse topping the list.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Your classics are in there. Adele, Whitney Houston. Beyonce, James Blunt, Bill Withers, Joy Division, Justin Bieber. Or maybe like Vaughan, it's Australian early 2000s band Killing Heidi. Ella Hooper, lead singer of Killing Heidi. Still touring. Really? Still touring. Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Roy Orbison even makes the list. Roy Orbison. What did Roy Orbison sing? Crying. Oh, yeah. Good song. Renee joins us. Good morning, Renee.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Good morning. Now, what song has an ex ruined for you? I mean, it was a pretty emo song anyway, but I was working in retail. I'll paint you a picture. So we'd been doing long distance for three months because we went overseas. So he gets back, goes all weird, breaks up with me.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I work in retail and we have the certain CDs that they allow you to play. And one of them was James Blunt. So I got to listen to Goodbye My Lover on Ripple while I'm feeling emo as anyway. Goodbye My Lover.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Here we go. We've interviewed him. He's a very funny man. He's one of the funniest people on Twitter. He's very funny. I hope this isn't going to bring back too many tears for you. It's alright. I feel like I't going to bring back too many tears for you. It's all right. I feel like I've moved on in the last, like, 17 years.
Starting point is 00:52:30 It's been a while. It's been a while. Is that right? Okay. This is going to take you right back to retail. What store was it? Bras and Things. Oh!
Starting point is 00:52:40 I'd be very interested to know the Bras and Things playlist. This isn't Goodbye My Lover. This is You're Beautiful. Oh, boy. Goodbye My Lover. This is You're Beautiful. Oh, boy. Goodbye My Lover isn't even in the top. This is You're Beautiful, which is also sad. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You've got to go.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Here we go. You have been the one. Yes. Here we go. Here we go. So you're in the middle of bras and things. Crying into the... Hosiery.
Starting point is 00:53:04 The hosiery, yeah. Yeah. Crying into a corset. Yeah, no. With the bras, with the double beams. This is not bra shopping music. No, this is not bra shopping music. I'd want up-tempo bra shopping music.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I want some Nicki Minaj talking about boobies and such. It's a different time, 17 years ago. We didn't have Nicki. Yeah, I wonder if bras and things have changed their playlist. I would hope so, honestly. Okay, well, next time I'm in, I'll have a listen and see. Yeah, do that. I would, if I was...
Starting point is 00:53:37 See, you'd buy more bras with this, right? Thank you, Renee. 0800 DARS.M Keep your texts coming in. The songs that have been ruined by an ex. There's a new member to the Smith family farm, Farmlet. There is. Details coming up.
Starting point is 00:53:55 There's been a birth. Oh, my God. Right now, though, talking about the songs, the exes have ruined for you. Maybe it was your breakup song. Maybe it was your song, and now you can't listen to it anymore. Anonymous, what was yours? So, the song was Superman by Eminem.
Starting point is 00:54:14 What? Not your traditional breakup song. It's quite charged, isn't it? When they used to make songs that were 5 minutes 46. Yes. That was just ego-driven though, wasn't it? Why is this song ruined?
Starting point is 00:54:27 So I had a suspicion about my partner at the time and I looked on his phone and found that he had changed the lyrics to include his name and sent them to my friend. The lyrics of this song. You don't have to say it
Starting point is 00:54:44 if it's explicit. Family show. But how did season. What, what, what? You don't have to say it if it's explicit. Family show. But what, what, how did he put his name into the lyrics? Um, I can't quite remember now. There's one where he says go on Shady's.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Okay. Come be in Shady's world. Yeah, it was sort of like I think I love you, I think you love me too. Those kind of lyrics. Oh.
Starting point is 00:55:04 They call me Haley Sproul. I'm here to rescue you. I am so sorry that your ex is Hayley. You live in Hayley's world. So that song's ruined. For you, Anonymous, thank you. Some messages in. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:55:55 So this song's ruined. Yeah, this one's ruined. Because this is my breakup song. I relied on it very heavily. It's a goodie. I mean, I'm going to leave this one playing in the background. I don't think we're going to get that finest song,
Starting point is 00:56:06 to be totally honest, but I'll run you through some of the other ones. Kelly Clarkson, Since You've Been Gone, When My High School Boyfriend Dumped Me. Of course.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Which is ironic because it's about moving on. It's not even like a sad song. It's about putting up a hundred and getting on with it. But I mean, there's got to be the heartache to get on to the moving on,
Starting point is 00:56:22 you know what I'm saying? A lot of Taylor Swift songs. Mind you, there weren't eight of her albums about breakups, so I can't see why that became. Tommy and Krista, that's come in like seven times. Tommy, that rings a bell. Yeah, it does. I might have to, if you'll forgive me, New Zealand, I'm just going to have to move away from-
Starting point is 00:56:42 Well, you're not going to pause Lisa Lowe. I turn the radio on, I turn the radio off, which you should all be doing and keeping it tuned to ZM. Wow. That was a Thirsty Merc song. Tommy and Christy was that Australian band, Thirsty Merc. Okay, let's hear it. Let's hear it because people have been calling for it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:57:06 I remember this. Thirsty Mert by Real. This was at a time when music was dire. Oh, I beg your pardon. Sir, I beg your pardon. Oh, my God. Get a grip. These two boppers at the desk here.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I can't. Hey, um... I disappeared. Happier by Ed Sheeran. That's another one. Hey There Delilah by the Plain White Tees. Oh, God. Time and a place.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Every rose has its thorn. Go back to Lisa Loeb. How about we go back to Lisa Loeb? Is it okay? Everybody's permission to go back to Lisa Loeb? Yeah, we're ready. Go halfway back to Lisa Loeb How about go back to Lisa Loeb Is it okay Everybody's permission To go back to Lisa Loeb Yeah we're ready We're ready
Starting point is 00:57:47 Go halfway through The Lisa Loeb track Let's just get like A five seconds of Lisa Loeb hat Yeah let's get a bit of Get a stroke Do you want to get Yeah
Starting point is 00:57:56 I turned the radio on I turned the radio on What a place in the song to pick What a place in the song Play ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley What a place in the song to pick. What a place in the song. Well, you might remember about three weeks ago, I started getting pretty excited. I got a little bit ahead of myself, I think.
Starting point is 00:58:15 You did. Because I saw a slightly puffy back end of a cow. I thought, that's changed. Termed it the time the cow giner, I get many inquiries every day on Instagram people saying how's that how's that
Starting point is 00:58:29 how's that cow giner looking and I say about the same slightly maybe puffier bit more wobbly yep udder
Starting point is 00:58:37 starting to fill out and I got excited put cameras in there in the cow shed I remember at one stage I was like I'm never gonna get this shed done
Starting point is 00:58:43 before this calf's chewed. Yeah. Well and truly done. Well and truly done. And, yeah, yesterday afternoon, I saw Hermione, our miniature Highland cow, walking around the paddock with her back legs like, you know when you're a kid and you poop your pants?
Starting point is 00:58:59 Yeah. And you're a bit like, uh, uh, uh. And you're like waddling around a little bit wide. I mean, I could have used The more You know Adult comparison Of just seeing a pregnant woman On the verge of giving birth There's a lot of waddling
Starting point is 00:59:10 Yeah Except you don't tell them They're waddling They don't like that These are for those people That don't know The big fluffy orange cows With the big horns
Starting point is 00:59:16 Oh they're so cute But they're miniature ones Because we just Don't have that much room On the farm let So you get miniature animals And miniature tractors. One day.
Starting point is 00:59:27 No, one day. That's the next chapter. Gosh, I can't wait to write it. So I saw the waddling around. I was like, hmm, could we be? The tail was up. Yeah. I was like, this could be.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And no poops was coming out when the tail was up. So I kept a close eye on it. And she was walking around in circles, sat down, got up very restless. I was like, this is another system. She needed a Swiss ball, a little bounce. Every two minutes in the group chat, it was like, guys, guys, guys.
Starting point is 00:59:53 No, I didn't tell you at the stage. I was reluctant. And then she was out in the paddock at that stage. And then she walked into the shed and lay down. And I was like, is she going to give birth in the birthing wing of the Smith family? That's when the messages started because there were screenshots of the security cameras. Yeah, I said, I don't want to panic anybody, but I think it's happening.
Starting point is 01:00:13 It's happening. We've got business. Then the security camera went offline. And I was like, I can't see what's happening. I need to go out and adjust it. Was that the CIA, do you reckon? Maybe hacked in because they wanted to watch the cute happen. So when I went out, I
Starting point is 01:00:27 poked my head around the corner and I saw two hoofs coming out of the cow joiner. Two little hoofs. Oh God. Hoof first. Also hoof first and then the nose sits on top of the hoof and it comes out like hello. Like a diver. Yeah. Like a 1930s person diving off a door board into a small pool.
Starting point is 01:00:44 That's how I'd enter a small cave as well, I think. Like that. Elbows tucked in. Hands sort of planted first. Tucked in to say hello. I wouldn't go into a small cave if it was so small that I wouldn't find that. No, neither, neither. Yuck.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Also, thank you for that photo in the group chat. That's fine. That's all right. Two hooves coming out of a cow giner. Just what I needed while I was eating dinner. Yeah, I was out at dinner. The hooves were the right way up because if they're upside down, like the bottom of the hoof facing up, they might be coming out backwards.
Starting point is 01:01:09 And that's a breech birth. It's problematic in animals as it is in humans. So I saw the hooves were the right way and I was like, okay, I think we're in business. And I went inside and then Hermione laid down again and instead of giving the old push a roo, out came her little nose. And then Humphrey, our other K.O. came in for a look and he was like playing supportive
Starting point is 01:01:27 brother. Imagine having your own brother as your birthing partner. Weird. Yeah, weird. I bet you some brothers have been there. I mean, look, if I was like with my brother and it was happening, I'd have to help. In an emergency, but he's not your pre-planned birthing
Starting point is 01:01:43 partner. No. He's well down the list. If he's your pre-planned birthing partner. No. He's well down the list. If he's your pre-planned birthing partner, bleh. What's the bit hanging out of the CV? That's like... CV. It was CG, I guess. CG, yeah. Yeah, Calgina.
Starting point is 01:01:58 What's that bit? That's just like the start of it, I think. Junk and stuff. Just a little bit of the water bag. She didn't really have that show, that water bag, that it's about to get going, so we weren't expecting it. And then, yeah, she laid down and gave it, I think. Just a little bit of the water bag. She didn't really have that show, that water bag, that it's about to get going, so we weren't expecting it. And then yeah, she laid down and gave it an almighty squeeze and we were watching on security cameras
Starting point is 01:02:12 a little fluffy cow came face first into a whole lot of sawdust. How'd the horns get out? The horns aren't there. I told you this before. The horns come later. They're not born with horns. Nothing with horns is born with horns. Oh my god, Humphrey's like, what the heck? But he knows.
Starting point is 01:02:26 He knows it's not his. He knows. So he gave it a little lick. He was like, very supportive brother. Again, if your brother's your birthing partner. And he's licking you. It's time to leave Grillo or Eval. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:36 And yeah, she gave it a lick and we were like watching. And then she licked around the face to clear the airways. This is the first time being a mother. I was so proud. Oh. I was so proud of her. And then she licked, licked, licked, licked, licked, licked around the face to clear the airways. This is the first time being a mother. I was so proud. I was so proud of her. And then she licked, licked, licked, licked, licked, licked. And the calf tried to stand and it fell down again into the shavings. Licked, licked, licked, licked, licked all the shavings off.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And then the cow stood up and wobbled around like a little giraffe. And that was all cute and well. And then 20 minutes later, bloody latched on for a feed. Oh, my God. It all went flawlessly. So cute. And then last night before bed, I went out to spray some iodine on the umbilical cord because you don't want infection
Starting point is 01:03:12 getting up into the umbilical cord. Does it fall off eventually? It does. It dries out and falls off. So you spray it with iodine so no bugs get in there in the meantime. And I got a little pet. I said, Hermione, if it's all right. And I put my hand out, and Hermione licked my hand.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I took that as a please, please, father. So I patted my new grand cow, my grand cow. You're a granddad. I'm a granddad and I gave it a pat. And then this morning before work, I was like, I better go check again. And I went out there and I got a proper like like scratch and pat under the chin around the ear. When is our trip to the farm because I need to pat this cute
Starting point is 01:03:49 little ginger cow. Okay. Because how long is it going to take for it to get big? Well it's a miniature. And the father's very stumpy. As big as mum? Oh a little while. Like I'd say at least a year. We've got so many pats ahead. Yeah it's real cute.
Starting point is 01:04:05 It's real fluffy. And we don't have a name. And I did the old tail lift today, and I think we've got a girl. We've got a girl on our hands. We've got a girl on our hands. Does it just have it written down? Two holes. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:17 You saw the CG. Yeah, I saw the CG. The CG, okay. It stands for half the size of the C. Right. So it's got to start with an H. It's got to start with an H. It's got to start with an H. Because you've got Humphrey, Hermione and...
Starting point is 01:04:27 Harold and Helen are our goats. Yep. And Hamlet and Herman are our pigs. Yeah, Hitty. Hitty. We're in Rihanna. Hitty was a strong leader, but one of August's very good friends is called Hitty. No, you can't do that.
Starting point is 01:04:41 And I was like, we can't name it after one of your friends. Yeah. What about Hattie? We had a... Jared's just shot through Heather we had a Heather RIP that was one of our
Starting point is 01:04:48 And there's already Heather Pussy Allen who works at Heather one more time? Pussy Allen Pussy? Look I don't know how it's said
Starting point is 01:04:55 it's South African isn't it? Yeah so we need You could do it to Hayley but again I'm Yeah again you're right there. No you can't be Hayley. And we want a bit more of a quirky older
Starting point is 01:05:04 older name not a a quirky older name. Not a 1980s baby name. Old woman name starting with H. Henrietta. Someone said they'd like to see a picture of the baby calf. You can see that. That's on my Instagram. And you'll be able to see a million more photos coming.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Halle Berry. Halle was on our list. H-A-L-L-E. Because the new Halle Wood is the new Little Mermaid as well. Which I think is a hot name at the moment. Play ZM's Fletch for the Nelly. Play ZM. Thank you for the H name suggestion.
Starting point is 01:05:37 This is for Vaughan's new calf. A little fluffy orange cow. I like Hilda. Hilda's good. Hilda's funny because it's an old lady's name, isn't it? Lots for Harriet. Yeah, lots for Harriet. But that's kind of had a an old lady's name, isn't it? Lots for Harriet. Yeah, lots for Harriet. But that's kind of had a resurgence, that name, eh? Yeah, it has.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Whereas it was a bit of an old lady's. Hazel, which I really liked, but then Sade said we had a sheep called Hazel, but I can't remember that. Hazel must have been one of the ones that wasn't around for a long time. Harley. How do you say Harley Berry? Halle Berry. Halle.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Because the new Little Mermaids are Halley as well. So quite like that, apart from the fact a thousand children are about to be named that. Hennessy. I would, but I'm not a gangster rapper, so I don't think I'm allowed to use that one.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Heidi we've had. Hana we've had. A lot of H-enables. Heidi could be good at throwing back to killing Heidi. Could be. Yeah. Could be. Fletch, Fart and Hayley, silly little poe, silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poe, silly little poe,
Starting point is 01:06:41 silly little poe, silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. What about Helga? Helga. Oh, yeah, I love that. Helga's very Viking, isn't it? Helga. And she looks like she'll grow the horns and she looks like she's wearing the Viking hair.
Starting point is 01:06:55 I think Helga. Helga. Yeah. She'll be a big girl too. Yeah. Hello, Helga. Yeah. What have you got there?
Starting point is 01:07:07 Pay for Helga? Today's silly little poll is not what should we name Vaughan's new baby calf. We're going to work on it I reckon throughout the rest of the show but would you ask someone
Starting point is 01:07:18 to be in your wedding party if you weren't in theirs? So what did the public say? What did people vote? Yes, 87%. Nah, 13%. Yeah, because how far away are your weddings? You might not have been like super close with someone
Starting point is 01:07:33 when you got married and then they get married 10 years later and you... Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Also, like, there's never any obligation. This is the thing that like totally puts me off weddings and puts Aaron off them too, which is probably why I still haven't had one.
Starting point is 01:07:48 But it's the obligation thing, like obliged to invite certain people, obliged to include certain people, obliged to let... Isn't the day about us? Do an obligation-free wedding. We are. See you later. So, are we getting invited?
Starting point is 01:08:04 Because you've always got to invite your closest workmates. I literally said... I literally said, we're running away. And then Fletch was like, oh, I'm going to be near where you're going to be. Well, I'll come. Oh, yeah, I've invited myself. Well, because I heard there's catering.
Starting point is 01:08:21 There's not catering. There's no obligations. Well, I'm not coming. I didn't invite you. But I want catering. There's no obligations. Well, I'm not coming. I didn't invite you. But I want catering. Go get a meal on your own. Can you just let me know what day it is? Because I'll cook myself something special and pretend I'm at a wedding.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Yes. Great. Fantastic. No, but I get that as well. Like, yeah, I would never expect to be invited to anyone's wedding. No. And I wouldn't be upset if I wasn't. No.
Starting point is 01:08:46 It doesn't matter. They're complicated things. Yeah. All these obligations. It really annoys me. But I've been a bridesmaid four times. Always a bridesmaid. And I've got a couple more that I will be.
Starting point is 01:09:02 So you're going to have a seven- you're having a seven person bridal party? Yeah, I mean, if I had to put them all in there. Have you been top dog? What do you call top dog? Yeah, maid of honour twice. Twice. So then you've got, who are you having as your maid of honour
Starting point is 01:09:18 if you have anybody, right? Well, mine's kind of obvious. I mean, I've been best friends of my best friends since we were three years old. That's really obvious. Were you maid of honour for her wedding? Yes. Who's the son of it? A very best friend since we were three years old. That's really obvious. Were you made a woman for her? Yes. Wedding. Who's this other?
Starting point is 01:09:26 A very good friend of mine. Jackie come lately. Do you think that you will have problems with friends that are upset that you've run away to get? That we're going to run away? Absolutely. You're going to literally get married with five or six people? Yeah, because everyone wants a good party.
Starting point is 01:09:41 We just have a party when we get back. You were going to. Just have a party. All right, well, some messages in. Well, I wanted to have a soup when you get back. You were going to. Just have a party. Alright, well some messages in. What is having a soup about? You know if I did my wedding. Amy says, I wasn't a bridesmaid for either of my best friends. They both only had their sisters.
Starting point is 01:09:54 That's always a good way to do it, but as I have no sisters to automatically take up a spot, I got to choose, so I had both of them, plus my sister-in-law was awesome. Yeah, we don't have to, it's not tit for tat. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, says Sammy. A bridegroom should have whoever they want in their wedding party
Starting point is 01:10:09 and not just be repaying a favour. Christine says, it depends if I met that person after they got married and I wanted them in my wedding party. But when I've been a bridesmaid several times and I went to some... Christine, I reckon you need to condense that down. Elise.
Starting point is 01:10:24 You lost me. You lost me. You lost me. It's like when you're little. I mean, it's ironic coming from this show that anybody's telling anybody else to find out the slightly quicker way of saying something. Elise says it's like when you're little and they don't invite you to their birthday,
Starting point is 01:10:38 it shows that they don't like you. So then you don't invite them to your birthday. No, no, no, no, no, no. The thing is we're not little anymore, are we, when we're getting married? No. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Plus six, four is? New Zealand area code. Bingo. Plus one is? America. Aha. Plus two? Canada.
Starting point is 01:11:15 South Africa. No, or Africa. Zimbabwe, Africa. Africa, Africa. Plus three? Canada. No, Canada's one as well Plus three
Starting point is 01:11:27 Don't you cheat I was going to Google The Arabia No, Europe Plus four It's a trick question, it's also Europe Plus five is the smallest and most interesting one.
Starting point is 01:11:47 It's the Americas outside of North America. So there's just like this. Plus five. Is it all South American? Oh, yeah, yeah. South America. Yep, yep. America's outside of the North American something.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Plus six. Japan. That's us. Southeast Asia and Oceania. Oh, yes. Seven. Plus seven. The Asia and Oceania. Oh, yes. Seven, plus seven. The islands.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Madarasha. Eight. England. East Asia. Oh, no, that's four, four, isn't it? England. Yeah, England's four. So plus eight is East Asia, your China, Japan.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Not all of it, though. And plus nine, mostly the Middle East. What's Antarctica? That's today's fact of the day. That's today's fact of the day. How cute is this? What calling code do you use if you want to call someone in Antarctica? Do they even have landlines?
Starting point is 01:12:39 Wouldn't it all be sat phones? There was apparently like cable run in the early days of Antarctica to Antarctic bases. Where are the cables connected to? Under the ocean. The closest points. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:53 So if you were to call Antarctica. They'd be bloody frozen cables, wouldn't they? They would be. Well, not anymore though. That's good. That's good. Nice and warmed up. Very warmed up.
Starting point is 01:13:03 So have a guess. What do you think? What number? Zero. They've all been spoken for. Zero. No. No, nine.
Starting point is 01:13:12 No, that's been spoken for. That's been spoken for. Antarctica dialing is dependent on the parent country of each base or sliver of Antarctica. Because you know how Antarctica is divvied up like a pie? Yes. Slice, slice, slice, slice, slice, slice, slice, slice. You're not allowed to mine down there. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Hands off. Well, everybody gets a slice. So if you want to dial one of the bases in Antarctica, you've got to use the country's calling code. Want to call the US's McMurdo Station? Yep. Plus one. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Yeah. I see. And then if we were calling New Zealand Scott Base, you'd be plus six four. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I see. And then if we were calling New Zealand Scott Base, you'd be plus six four. Wow. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 01:13:51 So they don't have their own one. So apparently we share an exchange with McMurdo Station. Right. And we can be reached plus 642409 and four digits on the McMurdo Exchange and you'll go straight through. Oh, wow. You'll pop through. Hello, welcome to McMurdo.
Starting point is 01:14:05 I wonder if you could just ring them. Should we try? Should we try giving them a call? They're probably so lonely down there. Scott Bass. It's so cold. It's coming up to summertime, eh? They must be ready to give it out.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Scott Bass. And also, fun fact, you know, in movies, plus five, five, five? No, no, no, no, it's not plus five, five. It's plus one, something, something, something, five, five, five. No, it's always at the start. No, no, no, it's not always 5-5. It's plus 1 something something something 5-5-5. No, it's always at the start. No, no, no, it's not always at the start. It's always at the start.
Starting point is 01:14:28 It's not because it's been around for longer than there's been like. It's always at the start. It's not always at the start. It's always at the start. Yeah, but that's when you're talking about, everybody like me saying, oh, you call 379 if you want to call somewhere in Auckland. Yeah. They say 5-5-5.
Starting point is 01:14:42 It's that. Yeah, because 5-5-5 is not an area code in America. No, in America it's not. It's for the movies and TV. An SDD code. Ah. Yeah. Yeah, because they used to use real numbers
Starting point is 01:14:52 and people would call the real numbers and real people would answer and it would happen all the time. There's one specific movie where they say a number that caused this change in this... It's like an official rule in Hollywood. Yeah. You could put 555.
Starting point is 01:15:04 I've tried to look for Scott Bass's phone number and I can't find it. He keeps wanting me to ring the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. I don't want to do that. They might be able to put you through. Yeah, they might. Apparently you can direct dial KC station,
Starting point is 01:15:15 Davis station, Macquarie Island station and Mawson station, which are the Australian ones. They're actually just in the phone box. Hi. You can direct dial them. Yeah, get it in there. Is that cold? Are you cold down there?
Starting point is 01:15:25 Have you seen any penguins? So today's fact of the day is Antarctica doesn't have its own country code. You dial the number according to who owns the slither of Antarctica. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts. Oh, my God. Our cat yesterday absolutely caned himself. We had Aaron's brother and his wife and their two kids over.
Starting point is 01:16:06 And Raleigh, No, no, no. No time for kids. No time for kids. And we all came back from dinner and Raleigh was on the bed and he had nowhere to run. He was cornered and so he sort of leapt out and his legs came out from underneath him because we've got new hardwood floors and he was really embarrassed and he came in and he was like, sorry guys. Because he really freaked out.
Starting point is 01:16:22 But anyway. We weighed our cats yesterday. What's your cat rocking in that now? He's about 6 point something kgs. I can bear that. Really? How big? Bear. Big ginger cat.
Starting point is 01:16:33 8.2 kgs. What? You are going to get a leek shove from the vet. I don't even feed him. He doesn't get fed that much. Right. No, he's obviously eating native birds. No, the tui, I tell. Right. No, he's obviously eating the rats. Native birds.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Well, no, the tui, I tell you what. No, he's too fat to get that high. It's got to be a ground-based creature. He's so heavy. Rolly's like 4'2". Our kitten that we got in June is like 3.4 or something. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. He's going to be a big boy.
Starting point is 01:16:59 And we're not here to fat-shame the cats. No. Anyway, a poll was done for cat lovers, asking them all sorts of things about their cats. But the interesting bit I love is the top 30 things cats do that baffle their owners. I won't give you 30. I'll give you the top three. Some of these are so funny. Is that one on the list where
Starting point is 01:17:17 they go round and round in a circle and then they sit down? Yeah. Or like why they lie on their back and ask for a tickle and then you tickle them and they attack you. What are you doing? You've set up the contract all wrong. It's cat skullduggery.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Okay, the third one is why they get zoomies at random times and seem to go absolutely mad for five minutes. This morning, same thing. Aaron said, I think there's someone out in our property and it was Rolly running around the front porch, which is right by us, and then he was running around inside and his eyes go wide and he's like looking.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Yeah, my cat does that too. Zoomy zoomies. Why do they do that? When you've got two cats and they sync up zoomies, ours are like massive wrestling matches. No, I don't have answers. I've just got questions. Oh, so this is just, it baffles us.
Starting point is 01:17:59 No, no, the questions were, the poll was, what baffles you about your cat? Oh, right. They didn't answer it. Oh. Oh. I want answers. I need answers.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Isn't that to tire them out so that they chill? Yeah, they like pump it to make sure they've still got it, you know? I reckon like Rolly's seen ghosts. Pent up energy. They rest and sleep for the majority of the day, conserving energy for short active periods. Yeah, they've got to burst. If they don't use it, they've just got to be like.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Yeah, mine does laps to the couch. Yes. He does. Loves laps to the couch. Yeah. The second thing they don't get is why they ignore their scratching posts and scratch the furniture instead. Oh, my God, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:38 We didn't have a scratching post. I do. It's a six-seater couch. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Ours is a nice vintage rug. Yeah. He just likes to scratch that instead. We used to do scratching things, but six-seater couch. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Ours is a nice vintage rug. Yeah. He just likes to scratch that instead.
Starting point is 01:18:47 We used to do scratching things, but he just ignores them. He ignores anything. Like, if you buy him a bed, he'll sleep on a plastic bag. Yeah. If you buy him a collar, he'll go crazy. And it's like cats, you can buy them expensive toys. They won't use them. You bring home a box or open a box and it would love it.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Or like a shoelace. Yeah. The number one thing that baffled cat owners, how they can tell the difference between the treat packet opening and something that's of no interest to them
Starting point is 01:19:14 like a bag of salad. Or like a bag of treats and say a bag of almonds or something. No, but... The same bag. I know, but then they're like, it's the yellow one,
Starting point is 01:19:24 temptations. But the other day, Aaron and I were sitting on bean bags and Rolly came in, he was hanging around, and we did open up a bag of mixed nuts and he was like sniffing around. He was wearing a salt. Yeah, we put an almond towards him. He was like, eh? Super confused.
