of those in though, Jared. See what we're doing here
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey Jesus, I love you.
And he's my life.
I'm gonna praise you till the day that I die.
Jesus, I love you.
And to my soul.
Take me to places that only
you know.
Show me life.
Give me a wife.
Bless me with children
to raise them up to
you, Jesus. Show me the
way. Show me the way.
Hold my hand. Hold my hand.
You are
the number one man in the land.
Oh, Jesus.
I want everybody out there to take Jesus inside your heart.
Jared's giving us a new one.
Play Zit-In, Splinch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
We can do it with this one, too.
I love Jesus.
All right, guys.
Welcome along.
Now, remember, this church isn't about money, so let's get it out of the way.
Pass the bucket round.
Pass the bucket round.
Give what you can.
Give what you can.
Yes, on top of your tithing.
Jesus.
Welcome along to the house band.
Praising Jesus.
Please don't change the channel.
You're like, I think I've got the praise channel.
No, definitely not.
Welcome to the show.
Welcome.
Another day of secret sound because it still hasn't been guessed.
$100,000 to jackpot at 7 and 8 this morning.
And at 9, we'll give you the chance to jump the queue.
Thanks to Neon.
So be listening out for that just before 7 o'clock,
the next Activator.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
They're getting a bit
They've been aged well
Have they
Yeah

It's a condo.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.

Yeah.
My mum has one,

a fridge too.
Did you see the fridge? It was stacked with champagne and two-year-old cleaning out the fridge. Because it's a relatable. Oh my God. They have to clean out a fridge too. Did you see the fridge?
It was stacked with champagne
and two-year-old food

The motto was 23 million.
It climbs and climbs and climbs.
I love it when it does this.
That's when I buy a ticket.
I don't bother with a measly
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...
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.
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?
If I'm going to waste my money, I'm going to waste it on a big one.
Okay.
Look, I know it's a bit of a flawed thinking.
Slightly flawed thinking, but no, no, no.
I like it.
I don't know, but add up all the money you waste on tickets.
It's a lot, right?
Yeah.
It's more than what I've ever won.
That's how it works.
That's how it gets you. Hey, it all goes back into great things like marching. So don't worry about it. Does it? Yeah. It's more than what I've ever won. That's how it works. That's how it gets you. Hey, it all goes back
into great things like marching.
So don't worry about it. Does it? Yeah.
What are you, marchers, getting a bit of the lotto money?
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no. We're, um...
We are a sport pub charity.
Oh, you usually get the pokies.
Sometimes, yeah. You can apply for funding and
you get a thousand bucks or something for pub charity. Oh, that's not enough. That's good. That's $20. That's not even the pokies. Sometimes, yeah. You can apply for funding and you get $1,000 or something
for pub charity.
Oh, that's not enough.
That's good.
That's $20.
You'd have more chance all the marching girls going down
and just sitting in the poker machine when it gets high,
dominating all the machines.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you know where
I was?
I went to this show
in like 2004
and saw her there.
Oh, your ex?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
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
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.
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.
Roy Orbison even makes the list.
Roy Orbison.
What did Roy Orbison sing?
Crying.
Oh, yeah.
Good song.
Renee joins us.
Good morning, Renee.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
Look, I know this, this.
This one just came in, so I've just got to search in the database.
Oh!
Yes, stay.
Lisa Lowe. This was also an episode
on, um,
what TV show was it on? Was it AP Bio?
No. Yeah, it was. It was
AP Bio. Yeah, yeah. He was cheating on
her with Lisa Lowe.
So good. Oh my god. An absolute throwback to Lisa Loeb. So good.
Oh, my God.
An absolute throwback to the 90s.
This song.
You say.
I talk so all the time.
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,
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.
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,
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-
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
how's that cow giner
looking
and I say
about the same
slightly maybe puffier
bit more wobbly
yep
udder
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
I think Helga.
Helga.
Yeah.
She'll be a big girl too.
Yeah.
Hello, Helga.
Yeah.
What have you got there?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
Plus six, four is?
New Zealand area code.
Bingo.
Plus one is?
America.
Aha.
Plus two?
Canada.
South Africa.
No, or Africa.
Zimbabwe, Africa.
Africa, Africa.
Plus three?
Canada.
No, Canada's one as well
Plus three
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
So have a guess.
What do you think?
What number?
Zero.
They've all been spoken for.
Zero.
No.
No, nine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
Weird cats.
Weird.
