Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.
Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee.
It's available now at Macca's.
I just have a strange sensation.
You know when you get like a smell or a sight of something
and then you're instantly back,
not only remembering a period of time
but like you're there again.
I just got that.
Like time travel. Smells the strongest
sense connection to time
and place, right? That's why you smell like
Play-Doh and it takes you back to your childhood
or you smell something and it takes you
back to a place. Well I was just immediately back
in lockdown, the first ever lockdown
2020. What smell? It wasn't even a smell, it was just immediately back in lockdown, the first ever lockdown, 2020.
What smell?
It wasn't even a smell.
It was just like I watched a video of someone who I remember did dance videos during that lockdown.
And I swiped past her and then I was like, I look.
And my whole body was just like there for a second.
It was so weird.
I hated that lockdown.
Yeah, that was the worst one. That was a biggie and a baddie
And we were all like what
The first lockdown no that was the lockdown
With a little bit of like rinky dink charm to it
No not for me I hated it
Oh right
It was stressful and like everything was up in the air
And I remember like we always got
The same groceries because we had
A little like a fresh collective
You know like a small supermarket And so it had real limited food So I'd get the same groceries because we had a little, like a fresh collective, you know, like a small supermarket.
And so it had real limited food.
So I'd get the same groceries every time we'd go down there.
Well, stock up because there's a new variant called XE.
No, don't say that!
It's Omicron BA1 and Omicron BA2.
Put their B's and their A's together and they've made.
And they've got to have a baby.
They've made Microsoft Windows XE.
Oh, God. Are they saying anything about it?
Like it's really contagious? Well, it's
10% more transmissible
than the current Omicron.
But they're waiting to see the severity.
They're waiting for more before
they declare the severity of it.
If you've had Omicron, would you then
get that one?
Some people have had like three or four
yeah you can get it again you can get it twice but it's less likely and less severe why wouldn't we
talk to ed sharon he said he had it three he said it three times yeah but he's probably had og
delta omicron yeah i've had none it's so far yeah Although you were just sneezing quite a bit.
I did two big juicy sneezes.
They were thick sneezes.
That's when I knew I had it, is I had a little tickle
and I just couldn't stop sneezing.
And then my runny nose started and I did a rat test
and it was like, boom, straight away.
Yep, yep.
That's my nose.
Good timing before Easter.
Oh, wow.
If you're listening to this now I've got COVID
Are we rat test tonight?
Yeah, rat test
We rat test tonight
Yep
And then Wednesday rat test for have you been paying attention on the Thursday
And then Thursday night rat test for work on Friday
So we've got three rat tests three days in a row here, people
Well, stay tuned
Will Hayley be here tomorrow?
Are you getting a little throaty on it?
Going to get a little touch the throaty
with the swab? No, I don't mean if you've got a cough.
I mean, like, are you going to get the swab in the throat?
Yeah, I'm going to throat then nose. Throat, right nostril,
left nostril. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
I've got a tiny, this one,
my left. Tight little snoozy. It's a real
tight little hole. I tell you that.
The other one, this one, the right one, you can wave
it around in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like right in one, the right one, you can wave it around in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like right in there.
But this one, God.
It's resistant.
Yeah.
Oh, dear.
Mine are equidistant, my nostrils.
Right, okay.
I don't have a problem with them.
I'm going to do one as soon as I get home.
Before you come over, Vaughan, I'm going to do one just to make sure.
Oh, that's right.
And you'll hear why Vaughan's coming over.
But, geez, you might not be here either tomorrow.
Don't condemn us.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
We were just listening to some live Miley Cyrus, weren't we?
It was an absolute treat.
Is that what our album came out last week? Yeah. Like a live album, weren't we? It was an absolute treat. God.
Is that what her album came out last week?
Yeah. Like a live album, isn't it?
It's a live album and there's lots of covers and stuff on it.
She's done a wrecking ball, nothing compares to you, Sinead O'Connor mashup.
Yeah.
I'm not angry at it.
I don't think I'm angry at any decisions.
Miley Max.
She's mad here.
Yeah.
Oh, there's some.
The cover is her bottom.
Yeah.
I'm not angry about it. I'm not angry about it.
Not angry about that either.
No.
That's absolutely fine.
Coming up on the show, another chance for you to win a $500 Resene voucher
so you can paint it yourself.
We're going to do that before 7 this morning on the show.
You've got the Resene colour chart there, Hayley.
You're going to read out a Resene colour.
I am.
And then if you get through, guess what colour it is to win the voucher.
There's some easy ones on here and I will say there are some hard ones.
Okay.
And I have been going for the easy ones.
I'm going to have to ramp it up.
Because sometimes the clues in the name, like what was you say, is the leaf and it was green.
Yeah, Resene Bay Leaf.
Yeah, that was a green, wasn't it?
Yeah, but when I said Resene Bay Leaf to you, you were like, easy.
And then what did you say?
Blue or something?
I was like, what?
Your chance to get through and play and win before seven.
Secret Sound is back.
Thanks to Neon today.
$50,000 still to jackpot.
So seven and eight is when we'll do that.
The top six is coming up.
Yeah, remember those big golf ball spy domes?
In Blenheim, just out of Blenheim.
Yeah.
Waihopai, I believe.
Yes, that being taken down.
Apparently, they're pretty much obsolete now.
Because they were inflated giant soccer ball things over satellite dishes.
Yeah.
Which was it just to stop seagulls.
They deflated one once and it fell down
and it looked exactly like a curtain draped over a satellite dish.
So I think the gig was up then.
Yeah.
But yeah, they're taking the whole thing down.
Is that because now they just spy on us through the internet?
I guess everything just goes through the internet.
So they can just do it.
They do it in broad daylight.
From flash computers rather than on satellites.
So I've got the top six things those spy domes would have seen in their time.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Coming up in the top six.
Next on the show, though.
Well, our gals.
Our gals Alexa and Siri are in the news.
They're about to have a lot of money spent on them.
They deserve it.
For the gals.
Splash out Yas Queen.
Yeah, Yas Queens.
Yeah.
Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Yasqueen. Yeah. Yasqueens. Yeah.
This has got a lot of people riled up.
How do you say it?
Riled.
Riled.
Yeah, riled.
Riled. Like riled up.
I think I was trying to say rarked and riled.
Rarked up.
So 860,000 pounds. So that's like $1.6 million.
New Zealand.
New Zealand of taxpayers' money is being thrown at three funded projects for this tech company
who are looking at trying to reduce the gender bias of our devices
to the likes of our Alexas
and our Siris.
Because they believe that
Alexa and Siri are
based on, like,
usually young female
voices
based on the sexist idea that we prefer
to tell women what to do.
I would love an old English lady.
No, man, because then it would feel like an Alfred-type butler situation like that.
Hello, I'm Siri.
Yeah.
Or like Dame Judi Dench.
What's the weather doing tomorrow?
Let me cast an eye on it, my lord.
Oh, my, I would love that.
He's still serving you.
Yeah.
Well, you can Yeah, so again.
Well, you can get male series.
I don't know about Alexa.
But are they saying like it's too submissive?
Yeah, so they're saying that it sends the message that women are obliging, docile, and eager to please helpers to do mundane tasks.
Like, hey Siri, what's the weather this afternoon?
Give me a recipe for meatloaf.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How many grams in a cup of sugar?
Well, my lord, 250 grams to a metric cup. Oh, yeah.
Oh, almost like Game of Thrones.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That'd be cool.
Why haven't they sold Siri voices by celebrities?
Would that be too hard to do?
I think it would be too.
Oh, no, because they just piece together syllables, right?
Yeah, I think so.
So there'd probably just be a set amount of words that someone would have to say.
Because they are real voices.
They are based on real voices.
It's like that app, you know, the meditation app Calm,
and you can get the stories read by celebrities.
Like Liam Neeson or...
Hello, this is Regé-Jean.
What's his name?
Oh, from Bridgerton.
From Bridgerton.
Yeah.
I tell you a naughty little bit of story.
Naughty.
Jesus.
Wow, okay.
I got a different app.
I got a different app.
But anyway, yeah, so they're going to put all this money into the research
to try to combat the idea that Siri is just this like,
hi there, can I help you sir?
Come on, I'm afraid, what, the money?
Amazon, who owns Alexa?
Yeah.
They're good enough money.
Yeah.
Who owns this guy?
Apple owns Siri?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're good enough money.
Make them do it.
Shouldn't be spending taxpayers' money on this.
I know, it seems wild that they've been able to do this.
Everybody fed and got a full belly, have they?
That's my... Are there any...
You've got your phone there.
Do you want to plug that in? Yeah.
Should we see how... Hi, I'm Siri.
Hi, I'm Siri. Choose the voice
you'd like me to use. So American
has four, five options.
Yeah. Hi, I'm Siri.
Hi, I'm Siri. Oh, I don't like that. Hi, I'm Siri. Hi, I'm Siri.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Hi, I'm Siri. Choose the voice you'd like me to use.
Nah, he's too cool, man.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Choose the voice you'd like me to use.
Hi, I'm Siri. Choose the voice you'd like me to use.
I've got the Aussie.
No, I use the Irish lady.
Oh, give me a bit of Irish lady. Hi, I'm Siri. Choose the voice you'd like me to use? I've got the Aussie. I use the Irish lady. I'll give me a bit of Irish lady.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Choose the voice you'd like me to use.
No, it's not Irish enough. I want her to be like
Hello there!
What can I help you with today?
There's Irish but there's no Scottish.
You wouldn't understand it.
I'm Siri. Choose the voice you'd like me to use. That's South African Siri. She sounds like a computer. I'm Siri. Choose the voice
you'd like me to use.
That's South African Siri.
She sounds like a computer.
I'm Siri.
Choose the voice
you'd like me to use.
Who's that?
Hi, I'm Siri.
All of these accents
are very neutral,
aren't they?
Hi, I'm Siri.
Choose the voice
you'd like me to use.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Choose the voice
you'd like me to use.
I feel like we're in
some kind of Siri hell. I'm an avorter. Hi, I'm Siri. I feel... Choose the voice you'd like me to use. I feel like we're in some kind of Siri hell.
I'm in a vortex.
Hi, I'm Siri.
Choose the voice you'd like me to use.
Okay, we're done with Siri.
We're done with Siri.
We're getting sucked in by Siri's voice.
I feel like all of those voices were very pleasing and very nice.
They were.
So I think if they wanted her to sound,
them to sound less submissive,
they're going to be like,
Hi, I'm Siri.
I'm a little bit busy. You can wait. Yeah. You're going to be like, Hi, I'm Siri. I'm a little bit busy.
You can wait. Yeah. You didn't say please. Are you going to say please? Yeah. Maybe
Siri need a bit of sass.
To keep us in line. Maybe you can ask her
like she's still got the same voice. Hi, how can I
help you? How many grams of
sugar in one cup?
Please?
How many grams of sugar in
one cup? Please, Suri.
Do you need all that sugar?
Fatty, fatty.
Maybe a bit of sass from Suri.
So these studies are going to be done
and then what,
are we just going to feel bad about using Suri?
I guess so.
And then what,
are they going to try to review it
to see if they can change the message that it's giving,
that women are submissive little darlings
that want to do boring tasks for you.
I don't know how they're going to do it.
I think the idea of getting actors on there.
Yeah.
See, I'd love to pay for a celebrity with a great voice.
Yeah, the hound from Game of Thrones.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Somebody just messaged in saying
every time you've been playing that word,
the S-I-R-I,
my phone's been peaking up.
In fact, it took me ages to send this text message
because I couldn't interrupt.
It's terrible with the New Zealand accent as well
because he was like, oh, sorry.
And Siri's like, hey, what's up?
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
All right, next on the show.
Vaughan Smith Tree Services, back in action today.
I love cutting down trees.
I love chainsaws.
And as yet, I have not had a serious accident.
And you've got a new customer.
I do. I do. I love chainsaws. And as yet, I have not had a serious accident. And you've got a new customer. Do.
I do.
I don't know about this.
What could go wrong?
A lot.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Wandsmith Tree Service is back in action today.
One man, three chainsaws.
Why does he need three chainsaws?
Why does he not need four chainsaws?
Why does he have three chainsaws? Why does he not need four chainsaws? Why does he have three chainsaws?
I got given one.
I inherited one.
And then Skavana said to Sade one Father's Day,
do you want to give one chainsaw?
And she said he loves his chainsaws.
Why not?
So I've got three chainsaws.
Right.
How do you pick which one you're going to use at any given moment?
Always start out with the still.
Right.
But it was in, my in-laws brought it back in start out with the still. Right. But it was in,
my in-laws bought it back
in a container from the US
and there was something,
the chain was never as good as it could be
but I've got a new chain for it now
and it absolutely chews.
It loves cutting down trees.
It loves trees.
And then after that,
I generally go Husqvarna
but I've got this little red one and it's like this weird Italian brand.
And I got it from my, what do you call it when he's your father-in-law,
but he's like your stepfather-in-law, I guess.
I just think you say you're not my real stepfather-in-law.
You're not my real stepfather-in-law.
And you slam the door.
Yeah, that's what you say.
And he was like, oh, this thing's no good.
It's mean. It's the smallest of the lot, and, that's what she said. And he was like, oh, this thing's no good. It's mean.
It's the smallest of the lot and it's an absolute powerhouse.
It just goes and goes and goes and goes and goes.
And then I get to the end and I need to sharpen all three.
Right.
You've signed up a new customer.
Hayley, you are enlisting Vaughan Smith Chainsaw Services today.
I don't actually remember how this came about,
but we have a backyard full of some dead,
some dying, and some just like bad trees.
All native trees.
No, don't you do that to me.
I cut down some native trees recently.
Okay.
But they were like, my friend had to get permission.
Yes, you apply.
He had to get consent to cut this tree down.
Yes.
Bloody madness. Did that take six months from the council? Oh, you apply. He had to get consent to cut this tree down. Yes. Bloody madness.
Did that take six months from the council?
Oh, it does. Well, we've only got one native
tree that needs cutting down, but
it is dead. Okay, right.
It's been long-term. So do you have
permission? Do you have to get permission? You don't have to
when it's dead. Because it could be a danger to people.
Well, then just poison the tree.
No, no, no, no. This is quite a big boy.
No, but if it's alive and you want it gone, poison the tree and then it's dead.
They don't just sort of crumble into dust.
Yeah, but then you get around the whole council thing.
Oh, because you're saying poison it so it starts to die and then be like,
oh, this thing's a danger to everybody.
It needs to be cut down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotcha.
I mean, in all honesty, protect our native trees.
I love our native trees.
I haven't listed them.
Same.
I've got a remu coffee table. I don't. Absolutely. My house is made out of native trees. I love our native trees. I haven't listed them. Same. I've got a remade coffee table.
I don't.
Absolutely.
My house is made out of native trees.
A long, long time ago.
But yeah,
I've got some trees
that need to come down
and we were thinking
about bringing my uncle up
from Cutty Cutty
because he was an arborist
in his day.
Oh my God,
do that.
Yeah, I know,
but you know,
he's retired now.
He's old.
He's a bit older.
He's a busy boy.
And then I think I mentioned this to Vaughan,
and he was like, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
I love cutting down trees.
I love to cut down some trees.
Oh, no.
I will also say we are going to replant a bunch of trees.
Oh, yeah.
I can hear people going, like, how dare you?
For every one you cut down, you always plant one.
Oh, we're going to plant a whole bunch.
But it's like, it's a shambles out the back.
And there's no cohesion.
And they're all just just scrappy things.
Right.
So I haven't listed the services.
Okay, but it was a little weird yesterday
when Vaughn was talking about tying a rope to the branch
and then yanking it with the Land Rover.
So I think Vaughn's going to drive onto my lawn.
Yep.
He's going to stand on top of the Jeep.
Oh, no, I'm not going to stand on top of the Land Rover.
I'm going to go up a ladder and tie a rope around the tree
and put a scarf in it.
We've got one of those big ladders.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'm going to go, I'm going to
put a scarf in the tree. A little neck.
Is that what that is? A pretty big neck.
Because I will say that it's on the border
of our neighbour's house and ours.
Oh, God, it's not going to crash on a roof, is it?
Well, no, I'm going to take the top off the tree
and then I'm using that Land Rover pull technique, which I've developed. And then the second one,'s not going to crash on a roof, is it? Well, no, I'm going to take the top off the tree and then I'm using that Land Rover pool technique,
which I've developed.
And then the second one,
I'm going to put a scarf at the bottom of the tree
and then do the Land Rover pool technique again
so that the branch that's hanging over the neighbours
comes over and down.
Somebody's going to get an injury here.
No, I feel confident.
You could.
Because you're getting it for free.
You could be hosting the show alone tomorrow.
No, not free. I mean, we'll be hosting the show alone tomorrow. No, not free.
I mean, we'll be providing the beers.
We'll be, you know.
I like to get a few beers on board before I operate the chains.
Jesus Christ.
A little bit of Irish courage.
Yeah, right.
To help with the heights, eh?
Oh, I'm terrified of heights.
I get very wobbly on the ladder.
Oh, very unsteady.
You've got to calm the nerves.
We've got a bloody good whiskey.
Oh, actually, Aaron's got some good whiskeys in the cupboard.
Oh, I will be doing the
show alone tomorrow, won't I?
We'll see. We'll see. I will obviously be taking
some footage. This also feels like the perfect excuse to buy the
chaps that I've wanted. Chainsaw chaps.
Oh, yeah, I see the people that do this.
Now, they're the ones that don't have
an arse in them, eh? No arse. Like Mardi Gras
chaps. But there are no chaps. The idea of the chaps
is that, yeah, they
don't have the ass. That's a pant.
Do they stop the chainsaw going into your thigh?
Yeah, if you slip and it hits, it's got like a Kevlar
thing and it like melts around the blade.
But I mean, the blade will stop the minute you take your finger off the trigger
anyway. So... It seems an
overkill for Mardi Gras. Well, it seems a bit...
You never know. Mardi Gras can get
buck wild. You've obviously never had a hot saw
wave that you had Mardi Gras. No, but isn't it obviously never had a hot sore when you did your Mardi Gras.
No, but isn't it strange of chaps
that they're protecting the thigh,
but they're absolutely exposing the genies in the bum?
Is there no Kevlar genie protection?
No.
No, no, no.
It's just the thighs.
It's open.
Oh, no.
But then is that because of the,
you've got your big,
you know on cop shows
and people always get shot on the leg,
they're like,
medical shows,
they're like,
he's hit a artery too.
Oh, yeah, your big artery.
One of the big ones there.
Whereas if you lose your doodle, I guess that's fine.
I reckon it would bleed a bit, though.
It would bleed a bit.
I reckon if you chopped your doodle off with a chainsaw,
it would bleed a bit.
I don't think it would feel that good.
All right, well, let us know tomorrow if that happens.
Good luck.
And I just want to say for the record,
go on record, I've warned you.
This is a terrible idea.
You think it's a bad idea?
I think it's a great idea.
From the bustling ZM think tank,
this is the top six.
I always remember them on the news when I was a kid.
The Wahupai spy domes are being dismantled.
They were big golf balls
and once one got deflated,
just air just constantly keeping that thing inflated.
Must have been. Not to say because there's no frame
holding it up. Like a bouncy castle.
Yeah. As soon as you turn the
thing off it'll go down.
Imagine the power bill.
It'd be massive just keeping the air in that
thing. Well there was two satellite dishes underneath them
right in the heart of
wine country there
and they are dismantling them. them, right in the heart of wine country there. And they
are dismantling them.
They said after almost 35 years of service,
the two domes, the Scrooge's, the Overseas Golf Balls
are no longer
collecting as much
intelligence. They've yielded less and less
lately. Changes in global
telecommunications and information technology
meant the interception of satellite communications
has declined.
Yeah, because you just get it all,
I guess, online now, right?
Who were they spying on?
Everybody and anybody.
Yeah, well, we're part of the Five Eyes, aren't we?
Yeah, there was always like the odd demonstration
down there in a paddock,
as close as they could get to them.
So if we said something,
they'd be listening?
They could, yeah, because we...
We broadcast on satellite.
Yeah, it goes from here to the Skytower to the satellite.
Yeah.
Back to the Skytower.
And back to all the broadcast points around.
So, yeah, they could totally have heard any...
That's pretty wild.
Or, like, in a second.
Yeah.
Any number of...
We've got to stop this off-air gossip that we do.
Oh, no, they wouldn't hear that.
They can't hear that.
Okay.
We'll get back to what we were talking about before.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, sure.
So I've got the top six things they saw at the Blenheim spy bases.
Number six on the list.
When you said something that could be interpreted as a terrorist act of your Ninja Turtle walkie-talkies in 1989.
Don't let them fool you into thinking those cheap little walkie talkies Have got a very small range
They can
Listen into everything
Yeah
That's happening on those radio waves
Didn't you buy some walkie talkies
Recently
Yeah we've got walkie talkies
Love that
They're so fun
They've got a huge reach
You can go to the shops
I just love that you're at the shops
And you're like
Aaron get another wine
Aaron
I've already finished the bottle
You just pick up
Aaron
Come in
Over
You've got to use
correct walkie-talkie protocol.
Always say over.
Always say over.
Roger.
To receive, you know,
message received.
Roger.
Number five on the list
of the top six things
they saw at the
Blenheim spy bases
in its long and lustrous career.
When you posted your lover
a nude photo in an envelope
with a 45 cent stamp
that you had developed
at the Uniken pharmacy in town.
They could scan that.
They could scan that.
On the big, yeah, right. They could scan that. Could they? On the big,
yeah, right.
They could scan that
right through that
and they'd see your
goodness.
Your nips and your bits.
They must have seen
some bits in their time.
My dad must have seen
some bits in their time.
Absolutely.
Always wild to think
that there's people there
like collecting
all the spy information.
I know.
And like knowing
all these secrets
about governments
and people all over the world
and then they go
back and live in Blenheim.
Yeah. Yeah. Like, and then just go back and live in Blenheim. Yeah!
And then just go to the local
countdown and stuff. No, good wines.
Yeah, but too much wine, get them loose lips
and loose lips sink ships.
You're right. Yeah, get the old spies drunk
and get all the information. Imagine like your flatmate
works there. They'd be wild.
Tell me stories. I can't.
They can't, yeah. Damn it!
Have this wine.
Have a little local giver.
It's Tremina.
Number four on the list of the top six things they saw at the Blenheim spy bases
are that dirty conversation you had on a landline in the 1990s
when you thought no one was listening.
Oh, wow.
They heard all those filthy words you said.
When I worked, the first radio station I worked in, Nelson,
they had a little scanner for the police and emergency services.
And this was before cell phones became encrypted.
And you could listen in to cell phone.
You'd only hear one side of the conversation.
This is before they made it encrypted.
And you'd just sit there drinking, listening in.
It was wild.
You could do that.
My dad had this radio and you could select FM, AM, shortwave, longwave.
And it was the same, like, a mate of mine had exactly the same radio in town.
And it was those little cordless unidians must have ran on a frequency.
You could just get to this part of the door and you'd be like,
and then you could hear the conversation.
Wild.
Weird.
Yeah.
It was wild time.
Great fun.
Wild, wild time.
Number three on the list of the top six things they saw at the Blenheim spy bases.
Your VideoEasy account when you used to hire dirty movies on VHS and were often late returning them.
It would send a little ping down the line.
And they'd know exactly what movie you had hired and why you hadn't returned it.
Number two on the list of the top six things they saw at the Blenheim spy bases.
That time you faxed your friend a swear word.
Faxed them a big old swear word.
And then their mum was at the fax machine when it came through.
It was a chat.
It was definitely a chat.
And number one on the list of the top six things they saw at the Blenheim spy bases.
That text you sent from your Alcatel OneTouch in the early 2000s
that made bracket space full stop full stop, space, bracket.
That's one boobie.
And then it would be like bracket, full space.
No, because you don't want a wonky tip.
Let me start again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got to always go, bracket, space, full stop, space, close bracket.
That's a pair of boobies.
Yep.
That's a pair of boobies and they go, enter, enter.
And then you've got to go space, space, space.
Oh, reverse brackets.
Little V.
Oh, yeah, I gave reverse brackets.
You do the curves.
And then you do enter again and then you go brackets, space, space, space.
Little V, space, space, space, close brackets.
Oh, how voluptuous.
That's hot. I'm going to take voluptuous. That's hot.
I'm going to take that to my bedroom.
That's hot ASCII stuff right there.
Was that what that was called?
A-S-C-I-I-S-C-I.
Drawings with symbols.
That is today's top six.
Now more than ever are we worried about our finances
to the point where, according to a new study,
two in three
find themselves waking up
in the middle of the night
due to thinking that they're not financially where they should
be in their life.
Oh, it's stressful.
Especially at the moment.
Now that inflation and everything
is through the roof.
Yeah. You can be earning good money and still is through the roof. Yeah.
You can be earning good money and still feel like it's not enough.
Yeah.
You're not getting ahead enough.
So it's waking us up at night.
We're waking up in a cold sweat thinking about our finances.
But also manage your expectations.
If you're comparing yourself to people you know who were born into extreme wealth,
don't worry that they've got something that you don't have.
Absolutely.
Because that's not going to help anybody.
You'll never be happy if that's your happy measurement.
No, I know.
But people are still putting so much value on money that the majority of people do believe more money, more happiness.
More money, more problems.
More money, less problems is what people still think, despite the fact that we know more
money, more problems.
Money doesn't buy you happiness.
Apparently people would rather 30% of people would rather watch
a scary movie. 27%
of people would rather speak
publicly in front of a large audience
and 28% of people would rather
sit in two hours of traffic
rather than talk about their financial
issues. We don't want to talk
about it. Their financial issues.
Yeah, like their debts, how much they're earning,
how much they can save, what they can afford.
Right.
The cost of living.
Just because it's so stressful.
It's so stressful.
People still find talking about money to be taboo.
81% of people still think that it's controversial
to bring up money when um talking to friends and
partners uh they get nervous about talking to their partners about their debts and their wills
i don't have a will i don't have a well either well well zach got you a will oh i hasn't done
it yet oh tbc tbc what if you die tbc will TBC. What do you have to do for your will? Because I know I had to do a kiss.
I had to kiss him to pay for my will.
I don't know if that's right.
That'll probably get him struck from the bar.
Kiss and a cuddle.
If I let that out.
In fact, I'm probably in quite a powerful position now.
You probably are, yeah.
To leverage some more free legal advice.
But you bought a house with your fiancé.
You probably should have a will.
I know.
When we bought our first house, they were like,
make sure you get a will.
And on my to-do list, it's been like, will for about four years.
But I'm like, it's straightforward, isn't it?
But then it's not.
But then it's not, yeah.
That's what they say.
Everyone assumes that if you die suddenly, that everything will just go to your partner
or everything gets split, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But it doesn't.
It can get all tied up in things.
People wait in, don't they?
People chiming in being like, well, she always said that.
It's because it's not easy.
Like, can you just tick some boxes and do it online and pay?
That's what I want.
It's signed and blah, blah.
I can't be bothered with the admin.
And also when I'm dead, I don't have to deal with it.
You've got to deal with that.
So you're saying, yeah, exactly.
You're spending your time
alive doing
admin that you're not gonna benefit from when you're
dead. No interest to me.
I'm dead. You sort it
out if you want the money so bad.
Fight over it. I wanna see a fight.
Good luck. Yeah, I do have a couple
of things. I've got a precious teddy bear
and then all I'm gonna put in the will is that
it is not to go to a child.
They will not
respect Kweli the way
that he deserves to be respected.
Or are you getting cremated? No, I'm not getting cremated.
Are you getting buried? I'm off to the marae, yeah.
Get buried with Kweli. Yeah, I think
I will. No child.
What if they have to exhume your body
though because of a cold
case?
Well, the murder weapon's inside.
I've been murdered.
No, you did murder. Kweli's all moldy.
He will be a bit mank down there.
Because your mankiness will kind of eat away at the fabric.
You'll become one, though.
As you're breaking down and returning to the earth, you'll too become one.
See, that's nice.
And then thousands of years later, archaeologists will dig up these plastic eyes. Yeah, you'll two become one. Oh, see, that's nice. And then, like, thousands of years later,
archaeologists will dig up these plastic eyes.
Yeah, plastic eyes and plastic nose.
And they'll be like, she was pregnant with a toy koala.
Whoa!
See, this is way more interesting than a will.
Yeah.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Well, this morning, when producer Jared said the Taj Mahal's burnt down,
we were all like, oh, my God.
That would be quite impossible because isn't it made out of marble?
It is.
It would be very hard to set on fire.
What about structurally?
The Taj Mahal in India.
No, it's all made of marble.
That's wild.
Have you been?
No, I have. Never been to India. Blew my mind. Yeah, it's all made of marble. Wow. Have you been? No, I have.
Never been to India. Blew my mind.
Yeah, white marble.
Yeah, it's just marble, the whole thing. It pops up
out of nowhere, am I correct? Because I've seen those
photos, it's like, what the Taj Mahal really
looks like? And it's like surrounded by
slums and such. Oh, yeah,
in Agra, it's not a
great environment. Built in the mid-1600s,
just amazing. As a dedication to his environment. Built in the mid-1600s. It's amazing.
As a dedication to his wife. To his wife.
She died?
Yes, and they're in it.
And then the opposite, they were building a black Taj Mahal,
but then he died.
A black one?
Yeah, like a perfect negative image of it.
Oh, wow.
But it never got done.
And you can see from the Taj Mahal the site for the black Taj Mahal.
That they never built.
Never built.
But did you get one of these photos with no people in it?
Because isn't that impossible to get a nice photo with no people?
All my photos of the Taj Mahal are like,
there's like thousands of people in it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Got some goodies, but like, I went in winter,
so it wasn't as busy.
Right.
But still busy.
Must go.
Simply must go.
Simply must.
Simply must. Simply must.
Simply must.
Okay.
Well, the other Taj Mahal that actually burnt down, not the marble wonder.
The actual Indian Taj Mahal.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Oh, yeah.
If you've pulled over on the side of the road in a panic, the Taj Mahal has burnt down.
Rest assured.
It's fine.
But you might also pull over in panic when you hear which Taj Mahal has burnt down.
The famous Dunedin Indian BYO restaurant, Taj Mahal.
Good Lord.
Good Lord.
Hell burnt down.
Burnt down, burnt down.
Like down to the ground.
So brick building, again, like the Taj Mahal.
Marble, brick, almost interchangeable.
You'd never know.
Both from the earth.
Both stone-like.
One's slightly more solid than the other.
The three lads living in a flat upstairs woke up to the smell of smoke.
Oh, goodness.
And immediately called the fire service.
They arrived at 3.17 a.m.
I love how exact our emergency services is the moment they pulled up to a site.
3.17.
Forced entry.
Used breathing apparatuses and extinguished the flames,
although it was extinguished quickly.
It looks like the Taj Mahal's out of business,
ladies and gents. But is it, if it was
extinguished quickly, was it
going to be repairable?
It looks bad. It looks out of action
at least for a while.
On the expert. But,
like, look at that photo. She's going to be out of action.
She's going to be out of action for a long time.
Out of action for a while, but I reckon she'll be insavable.
Well, she's going to need re-jibbing.
She's going to need re-jibbing.
Well, she can't.
There's no jib.
Good luck getting jib.
Good luck getting jib.
If you smell smoke or something, you'd be like, is that the tandoor?
Is that the?
Yeah.
Why is somebody cranking up their tandoor at 3 a.m.?
Why is someone burning a naan at 3.20?
Yeah, God.
I feel like one.
A famous place for a big night kickoff after the BYO. Why is someone burning a naan at 3.20? Yeah, God. I feel like one.
A famous place for a big night kickoff after the BYO.
Producer Jared, you were upset about this news because you love the Taj Mahal in Dunedin.
Yeah, only went once,
but it was enough to leave a long-lasting impression.
How do you hit the town with a belly full of curry?
I was like 19 at the time, so I had the stamina.
You can do anything at 19.
Yeah, the stamina.
In our case, I definitely couldn't.
I often have to have a post-curry nap.
Like, that's me for the night.
Though that is often the case with a BYO, isn't it?
A BYO, I see.
I don't mind a BYO Chinese before a big night out.
But yeah, the Indians, there's something about it.
I overdo it with the rice and all the sauces and the naan.
I'd probably need to take a poo at the Max Bruber.
Yeah, you would have to.
Up there in the octagon, I'd be like, guys, just hold the fort.
Pardon moi.
She's all gurgling down here.
Oh, well, yeah, heck, that's some sad news.
But hopefully she's back up and running soon.
Yeah, fingers crossed.
Is the Chinese BYO still?
I've only ever heard.
I've done that one. I've done that one.
I don't know its name.
Yeah, I've done it too.
We've done that one.
But I've only ever heard it referred to as the Chinese.
Because there's only one in town?
No, there's more than one.
There's more than one, but that's the one you go to.
Yeah.
God, I love a BYO.
I tell you what.
China Palace Restaurant and Takeaway.
Yeah.
China Palace.
Good Harvest Restaurant.
Ooh, which one is it?
I tell you what, anyone that runs a BYO restaurant
needs to be mentioned in the New Year's Honours
because they deal with...
They should all be sirs and dames.
They deal with the most drunken New Zealanders
on a daily, weekly basis.
Like you always go, should we go to a BYO, then we'll go out.
But then the BYO is it.
That's it because you're sitting at the table.
Yeah, yeah. Far, far. But that's the great thing to a BYO then we'll go out but then the BYO is it that's it because you're sitting at the table yeah yeah but that's the great thing
about a BYO
because I don't want to go anywhere
I don't want to go out
I just want to sit at a table
yeah and I want to get loud
progressively louder
I want to get loud
I want to get boozed
and I want to get fed
I want to have like
chats in the toilet
like I want to go to the toilet
come with me
oh no I've never had a DNM at toilet. Like, I want you to go to the toilet. Come with me. Oh, no.
I've never had a D&M at a B&W.
Oh, I have had many.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
I didn't even know this existed in Christchurch.
This is in the Hallsville domain.
And it's a minutiae train.
Oh, I love scale trains.
Executive producer Anna, you've been sending us dates for a Christchurch work trip.
Yes.
I believe Christchurch is on the agenda.
It is.
No, it's only on Sundays.
No!
I know.
I know.
I know.
I'm going to put this table.
I want us to put time in to go to the miniature train.
Do you reckon they'd do a special train trip for us if we were to ask nicely?
Miniature?
I'll wear a hat.
We could all dress up like little lads and lasses and go on the miniature train journey.
What on a Sunday?
Meet you there.
You can drive us around on the miniature train.
Surely.
There's probably volunteers and they all work during the week.
Boo.
Yeah, I think you're probably right.
They've got a little,
they've got a little,
the Canterbury Society of Model and Experimental Engineers.
Oh my God.
I think you just found your people.
I mean, they've got like a lab
and like a workshop.
I could imagine you doing this.
I would love it.
Yeah, we had one in New Plymouth growing up by Pukakuta Park.
And it was just a little wee, it was a little track.
And Nelson's got a good one, Te Hunanui.
That's a really good one.
Petone and Lola Hart's got one just by the ocean in the park there.
Because they look like trains, but they're little.
Those are my favourite ones when they're painted up Like the Kiwi Rail trains
Yeah
Or like
I don't have a locomotive
It's been years
Since I've been on one
I went on one
Question
It must have been
Eight years ago
Because it was
Yeah
At a second birthday
Of someone
That's the same age as Indy
And she's ten now
In Hamilton
At Minogue Park
Can they take
After Kylie Minogue
No after Danny
It's after Danny
Oh yeah it was one of the Minogues
They named a park after one of the Minogues
You've got Lake Danny
You've got the Kylie Courts
That's where they play netball at Minogue Park
Named after Kylie yeah
What was their brother's name?
Scott
Can they take big adults?
Yeah
I went on it
Will they take three big adults?
Oh yes It it's telling
in this picture here, they've got
thousands of little kids and big kids
and you're going to ride on miniature trains each year.
Well the three of us are probably the weight of
thousands of little kids.
How small are these children?
So they have
sought permission
from the Christchurch City Council to extend
the track adding 720 more metres.
720?
Yeah, so it's existing 1.5 kilometre network.
Oh, my God.
I need to go on this.
That's a big-ass track.
You said they're like 100 metres.
Multiple tracks.
I reckon you could even switch.
I want to switch the levers.
Yes.
You can be on lever switching.
Yeah, and then you can be tied to the tracks
and I'll ride in on a mini-itsy-a-pony and save you. Yes, I'll be like, how? And Fletch will be on the train, yeah. And then you can be tied to the tracks and I'll ride in on a miniature pony.
Yes.
And save you.
And Fletch will be on the train, yeah, twirling his moustache.
And I'll be like.
How much fun are miniature trains?
Yeah.
So they've applied to the council and then people are upset.
Yes.
At the miniature train people.
Oh, my God.
Get a grip.
Get a grip.
Choose joy.
Choose joy. Choose joy.
Choose joy.
Craig, who lives nearby.
Yeah.
Craig.
Craig.
I just want to point out that's not my father, Craig.
Joyless Craig.
Joyless Craig.
Oh, Joyless Craig.
Said if this happens, we'll continue to lose green space.
And he was sick of the constant noise of trains each Sunday.
Oh, my God.
Each train toots approximately eight times per lap
with up to six trains continuously running up to or beyond 6pm.
Oh, Craig.
What, does he want them to go around the track and not toot?
What about the kids?
They want the toots.
Yeah, exactly.
What about the kids, Craig?
When did Craig move in?
Because this has been going most Sundays since 2003.
Oh, yeah.
If Craig moved in post 2003.
2003, Craig's got no say.
It's like people that whinge about the bloody speedway.
Yeah.
You moved there.
Yeah, you moved there.
Another one, Paul.
The planes allowed in Miramar.
Well, you didn't check the flight path?
Yeah, you moved to Miramar by the airport.
Oh, okay.
So Paul said when he moved there, there was no railway at the domain.
Oh, okay.
Oh, poo-poo Paul, eh?
Yeah. Yeah. A logistical compromise would be to extend the track railway at the domain. Oh, okay. Oh, poo-poo Paul, eh? Yeah, yeah.
A logistical compromise would be to extend the track
deeper into the domain without encroaching towards existing houses.
I'm all for that.
Oh, yeah.
Deeper into the domain?
Sounds like we're going to get some treacherous territory
and we're going to need some engineering solutions.
I want to say he's saying that it's going to take up green space.
I have a feeling that Craig doesn't enjoy the green space.
I don't think Craig's out there walking around enjoying green space. Taking his shoes
off and earthing under the oaks.
Oh, you know, exactly. Well, so it's just a track,
isn't it? It can still be green. And you enjoy it. You enjoy
the green because you're like, I'm going through the green.
Help! Help me!
I'm about to get run over by
this here train. We need to go
on this train. How much fun are we having?
And as I'm riding on the miniature,
I'm going to lasso the switch
and pull it.
And so it goes clink
and goes to the different track.
You saved me.
My hero.
Ain't no problem, missy.
Just another day being a ranger here
in Hallswall.
I think you're too full on
for the train club.
I don't know if they'll accept
your membership.
Yeah, I think you might have put them off a bit
I would also demand we made a
Steam locomotive that was also
A time travelling flying train
Like in the end of Back to the Future 3
I'd be Doc Brown
Of course
Our silly little poll is next on the show
And it's all about life admin today
And when do you get it done
Are you a weekend life
admin or are you just all the time
during the week?
Silly little Poll. Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll.
Silly Little Poll today.
Do you do your life admin on the weekend or during the week?
There has never been a closer Silly Little Poll.
51% said on the weekend.
49% said do it during the week.
Oh.
I don't want to do it in either of those times.
Life admin sucks.
Maybe I'm a bit of both.
But I think the weekend, there's certain things I always do.
Like I clean my sheets on a Saturday.
So they're fresh.
Clean up the house for the week.
After filthy Friday.
After filthy Friday.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah, filthy Friday.
Fridays are yours.
Froth and Lord.
Froth and filthy Fridays.
Froth and filthy Fridays.
But the rest of the admin, I'll just do like during the week,
little bits of, you might pay some bills there.
Well we do.
I mean I'm an errands runner.
I love it.
And this is what I love
about this job.
We're out of here most times
before lunch for sure.
And then you've got
the rest of the day
to just errands it up.
I hate stopping for gas.
I hate stopping
at the supermarket.
I hate stopping for gas.
I just want to get home.
Yeah.
But then is life admin also
like the lawns and stuff? Is that? Yeah that's admin. get home. Yeah. But then is life admin also like the lawns and stuff?
Yeah, that's admin.
That's life admin.
Housework is life admin.
You're always doing it.
I love it.
I love that.
But would you rather be doing it at the weekend or the weekdays?
If I get it done during the weekday, that's good because then it frees up the weekend.
Yeah.
For a little bit of leisure.
A little bit of R&R.
But then a lot of people, like, if they finish work at five
with daylight savings, you can't do the lawns in winter,
so weekends it is.
Yep.
Jazz said, I specifically asked to work weekends
to get that extra money, but also just because it's way easier
to life admin on weekdays when everything is open.
Yeah, that's true.
She's messaging from 1950 with,
well, the shops were shut on the weekends.
Some other messages in.
Abby said, in the weekend for the big stuff
like the supermarket shop,
but try to tick off the little things like the washing
when I'm working at home.
Oh, yep.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Love a weekday wash.
People saving up all their clothes
to just do the weekend washing.
We're doing washing every single day at our house.
You've got two kids.
Yeah.
Two kids at school.
You couldn't do family washing once a week, could you?
No, probably not.
Imagine the pile.
Oh, I know.
Overwhelming.
Taylor said, ain't nobody got time during the week for life admin.
That's the weekends where they do their admin.
But then if you get really drunk and you're hung over Sundays ridden off,
you don't get anything done.
I know, and then you start Monday on a bad foot.
You've got dirty sheets and nothing's been done.
Sometimes needing to do something's enough to get you going
when you're a bit hung, though.
Yeah, true.
And then you work it off, and at the end of the day,
you're just absolutely ready for bed.
Yeah.
Erica said, usually both.
I try to get most done on lunch breaks during the week
so I have my weekends to just chill.
She's doing a life admin on the lunch breaks.
Mardness.
Molly said it always allows my weekend to be more free and fun
if I do it during the week,
plus doing bits of admin throughout the week
makes it feel less overwhelming as if it's broken up over a few days.
That's some great mum advice there.
Yeah, it is.
Organised.
I'm way too lazy on the weekend and I just want to relax,
so that's why I do it during the week.
Amy said during the week so Amy said, during the week,
so that my weekend is free to do whatever I please.
A lot of people really valuing their freedom during the weekend.
Sarah said, do it during the week, baby.
Doing it on the company dime.
Yes.
That's a great idea.
During the work hours.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
A new study researching New Zealanders and Kiwis
has found that more than one million Kiwi parents
are financially supporting their adult children
with everything from basic living costs to weddings
to home loans and even holidays.
I feel like we've talked about the bank of mum and dad a lot
with home loans, but not. I feel like we've talked about the bank of mum and dad a lot with home loans,
but not so much doing your groceries.
So there is a big, I've got a graph, a big graph here.
A graph.
This is what the bank of mum and dad are paying for the most.
Groceries, 44%.
Wow.
Letting them live at home without having to pay rent,
31%.
Paying for bills
like their mobile phone
or their broadband
is 26%.
Paying for car-related costs,
maybe Rego,
car insurance,
petrol,
is 22%.
Charging a discounted
board or rent
at home,
22%.
Free childcare,
20%.
Giving them money for a loan or a home deposit, 19%.
And then things like paying for their car, parts of their car,
paying for summer, all of their holiday, 13% of parents.
Oh, their holiday.
Could you imagine your parents just giving you money so you can go to Fiji or something?
It's wild, eh?
At what age?
An adult.
No.
No.
Never, right?
Never.
No. I. No. Never, right? Never. No.
I used to.
The other stuff that I do, like the helping out, food and stuff.
Yeah.
I don't think my parents would let me starve.
No.
If I was struggling.
I don't think my parents would happily sit by and watch me fade away.
I used to call the bank of mum and dad so often. When I
left high school and then
all the way up to
maybe like 23,
I was constantly on the phone to the bank of mum and dad.
Who was the easier touch? Dad.
Which teller? Dad. Okay. Because my dad's
the money earner in our family
and he's soft.
So he's the soft dad. Your dad, your dad, your dad's
little girl. Yeah, my dad is a little girl.
And I'd ring up and be like, hey.
And he'd be like, oh, here we go.
He just knew the tone meant how much.
Yeah, yeah.
Or I'd rock into his office when I lived in Wellington.
And then I'd fish around in petty cash and take a 20 and get out of there.
Did it come with a caveat?
Nope.
No caveats.
You didn't have to do the lawns or wash the car or do anything.
I didn't see that money being spent on dot, dot, dot.
Nah.
Wow.
I know, I was very lucky.
And then mum would be like, how much?
Yeah.
Because you're going to be an absolute soft touch.
There'll be caveats though.
There'll be caveats on what can be spent on.
Like what, some land work or something?
Oh, no, no.
I was just thinking, I don't want to see that spent on drinks.
Well, they're not going to tell you.
You didn't tell your parents.
They didn't give me, like, money, money.
They didn't give me money, money.
See, I would be transparent.
My parents would just pay straight up for, like, help with rent or whatever.
Right.
But they wouldn't be like, here's some no holds barred cash.
You're not yourself out doing whatever you and your mates are doing.
And they knew how dodgy you were.
Wow.
It wasn't going on booze.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I used to just, I'd be transparent and be like, oh,
I need to borrow some money.
And Dad would be like, how much?
I'd be like, how much is a Christoph Goon sack these days?
And he'd be like, oh, around 20 bucks.
But see, my parents would buy
me a Christoph Goon sack so that they knew
that the money was being spent on
Christoph Goon sack.
Well, they actually wouldn't buy me a Christoph
Goon sack. They'd buy me like a six pack of beers.
They're like, that's plenty.
That's plenty. That should last you the week.
The week!
Plenty of beers there.
And they would have been like that light 2.5%, you know?
That's plenty.

There is a plant shop in the US that everybody's having a good chuckle about online
because their company name is Plant Parenthood.
I play on Planned Parenthood. I've just Googled Plant Parenthood. I play on Planned Parenthood.
I've just Googled Plant Parenthood
and it seems there's a few places called Plant
Parenthood. One, Plant Parenthood is an online
and in-person community of parents
who use psychedelics, plant medicine
and cannabis.
Sounds like a fun weekend away to be honest.
So Planned Parenthood is like their family
planning that we have here.
But it just looks, even when you see the name above the plant store, Plant Parenthood is like their family planning that we have here. But it just looks, even when you see the name above the plant store,
Planned Parenthood, it just looks like Planned Parenthood.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Well, someone's taken to Reddit to kind of suss the vibe
on a situation they were faced with.
And they said they were invited to a beautiful wedding,
beautiful invitation turned up.
They had to select their, you know their meal. I imagine it was quite a
formal wedding.
They had to choose the
salmon or the beef.
And they sent
their request back. And then two days
later they received a
voicemail thanking
them for their selection
and then a request for
$75 per person
to cover the meal.
And this bride was going to be charging all of her guests $75 a head.
After the wedding or before, did you say?
Before the wedding.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, not post being like, hey, can you chuck some money in my account?
Yeah.
But just charging $75 a head.
How much? But then you don't buy them a head how much?
but then you don't buy them a present right?
oh yeah
that's there
I think the thing that's got people on the internet being like
that's weird is
it's the directness of being like
you have to pay me X amount
for the meal
that you're going to eat as opposed to like
we've got a wishing well,
you know, feel free to chuck some money in there
and no gifts.
So they're kind of,
they're charging their guests
to attend their wedding, basically.
They're charging them for the food.
It's a barge.
Booze though?
No.
Well, it's just 75 a head.
So as a couple,
that would cost you 150,
which is probably what you'd give
as a wedding gift anyway, wouldn't you?
God.
I've got a gold coin donation.
I must be there at school.
A little koha.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
If you're paying for the meal,
you're definitely not giving them a wedding gift.
No, definitely not.
Absolutely not.
Well, we did ask you on our Instagram and run a poll this morning.
Would you pay to attend a wedding, pay for dinner, 33% yeah and 67% nah.
If you don't want to pay, you probably aren't that good of friends with them, right?
Yeah.
If your friends are getting married and they're like, hey, look, this budget kind of thing's crazy.
This is what we dreamed of, but all it requires is for you to pay for your food.
I'd be like, eh.
But you're already paying.
You're already paying for what you're wearing,
getting there in some cases.
Accommodation, flights.
You might have to travel.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a bit of a strange one.
Or is there another approach,
like if you can't afford that kind of meal?
Remember we've talked about potluck weddings before.
That's right, yeah.
It's a little less direct than here's an invoice for $150 for you and Sade.
A couple of messages in.
Brittany said, I would pay to attend if it was a close friend or a family member.
Hannah said, I already spent at least $100 on a gift.
I'd already be happy to pay.
I would be happy to pay to go and not give a gift.
Yes.
Yeah, she's saying that she already pays that for a gift.
So if this is in lieu of a gift, then that's fine.
Then that's fine.
I'm just of the mindset of you should have the wedding that you can afford.
And if you can't afford it, you need to downsize and have a smaller wedding or catering a different
way.
Yeah.
It's a lot of money, eh? It's also just a little bit awkward, isn't it?
Everyone chucking in their
money to eat the food. What if it's
not there? Also, I'd be like, I'll change
my order to the most expensive thing. Yeah, yeah,
I'll go salmon then. Yeah.
Well, the biggest one.
Yeah. Okay, you know, I'll pay, but
just a little, can I find out, what's the biggest plate? What's got the biggest portion size? Yeah, yeah, one. Yeah. Okay, you know, I'll pay, but just a little, can I find out,
what's the biggest plate?
What's got the biggest portion size?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because is the steak like an eye fillet steak or is it like a T-bone steak?
Yeah, what are we talking?
Yeah, let's talk cuts of meat here.
Trying to get the most from my dog.
Sibling rivalry. I think we should start, though, with an Vaughan and Hayley. Sibling rivalry.
I think we should start, though, with an apology from you, Hayley,
to Carl Wayne at the social media desk, who is an only child,
and you just said they had no friends.
Yeah, just hanging out in your bedroom by yourself most of the time.
Or hanging out with your parents, which is even worse.
Hey, me and my mum had so much fun.
Did you have an imaginary friend?
I don't know.
Who did you fight with?
Just myself.
Just internal turmoil 24-7.
No, I refuse to apologise.
Wow.
So everybody, you're only child,
but then everybody else is two,
them and one other sibling on the show, right?
Yeah, and I'm from a family of three.
You're the middle, the attention seeker. I'm the oldest family of three. You're the middle. Yeah. The attention seeker.
I'm the oldest and you are the youngest.
Youngest of two.
So this study asked siblings, and this is based on their perceptions.
Mm-hmm.
So they asked them a whole bunch of things.
Firstly, who's the funniest sibling?
Who's the funniest?
Well, the youngest child, 46%, topped the list.
The youngest child think they're the funniest.
Oh, so they voted for themselves.
But that says more about the younger child's...
Well, they're more likely to think that they are.
Yeah.
They've got a high opinion of themselves.
Yeah.
Dickheads.
Whereas the oldest child, only 36% said they were the funniest.
Yeah.
Because they're not.
Because they're not. They never are. They're not funny. No, they're not funny. They're living were the funniest. Yeah. I mean, I... Because they're not. Because they're not.
They never are.
They're not funny.
No, they're not funny.
They're living with the realistic situation of the fact that they're dullards.
Yeah.
I mean, it's easy for my brother.
I work in comedy.
So that's pretty straightforward.
You would hope I'd be the funniest.
Would you say your sister's the funniest in the family?
No.
Is she the baby?
Yes.
But this is about her perception of herself. Does she think she's the funniest? Does she think No. Is she the baby? Yes. But this is about her perception of herself.
Does she think she's the funniest?
Does she think she's funnier than you?
No.
I don't think so.
Do you want to message her?
Do you want to just check?
Just text her and be like,
what, what, you think you're funnier than me?
It'll just start a fight.
I'd rather not engage.
Okay, what about oldest or youngest sibling?
Who thinks they're most favoured by their parents?
Oh, now, both my oldest and my youngest,
I'm definitely the favourite.
They love playing the victim.
Oh, really?
Like, she's got it so much easier than I had it as the first child.
Oh, you're right.
Well, I mean, this is going back some.
It's the youngest that is favoured,
that thinks they're favoured most by their parents.
Vaughan, who's your favourite child?
Um...
I've said it before, I'm not against having a favourite,
and it would change, but at the moment, no,
I don't think they've tested my ire enough
for wanting to become favourite.
They're going to push you one way or the other.
In the teenage years, I think you've probably established
you're favourite.
Yes. Okay. They'll be left a lot more in the will. Yep. And the teenage years, I think you've probably established you're favourite. Yes.
They'll be left a lot more in the will.
Yep. And I'll be telling them that while they're going through the teenage trials of dad's
favourite. Who
thinks they're the most responsible sibling?
The oldest or the youngest? Oldest.
Oldest.
54%. Yeah.
What about more successful? Who thinks
they're more successful? The oldest sibling or the youngest?
I mean, how do we measure success?
Do you know what I mean?
How do we measure success?
Well, the oldest child
Thinks they're more successful
More successful, yeah
Would your brother say
Think he's more successful?
Than who?
You
I don't know
We honestly never have these conversations either
because mum wouldn't let him even start
because she knows that it's ending a fight.
Yeah.
More organised.
The oldest sibling as well has a perception
that they are the most organised.
Yeah, I'd say my brother's far more organised than I am.
And also same as more able to prioritise their own life,
more self-confident and more family orientated.
Oh, interesting.
What was the first one you said
in that last little blitz of three?
More organised,
more able to prioritise their own life.
Okay.
That's interesting.
But when it came to being more easygoing
and more relaxed,
the younger sibling,
they think they are.
They think they're more easygoing and relaxed.
I'm definitely more easygoing,
more relaxed
and I'm very uptight.
So what does that say about my brother?
It's just a ball of nerves.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day
day, day, day,
day. Yeah.
Today's fact of the day is in 2018 in Egypt,
Candy Crush was listed as one of the main reasons behind divorces.
What?
Yeah.
In fact, electronic games on a whole are very much written into reasons for divorces in Egypt.
In 50 years, Egypt's divorce rate went from 7% to 40%.
7%?
7%.
I'm guessing it was quite traditional.
Religious?
Yeah, religious and as it's kind of modernised.
Because what is it here?
50?
50-50.
Yeah, right. Roll the50. Yeah, right.
Roll the dice.
Yeah.
Roll the dice on it.
I thought it had gone down a bit because people weren't rushing into marriage as much.
Marriage rates had dropped, so divorce rates had dropped a bit.
Yeah.
Yes.
But we're still breaking up willy-nilly.
Yeah.
Willy-nilly.
The 2018 report showed PlayStation was mentioned in 250,000 divorce cases.
250,000?
And Candy Crush was the main reason
in 17,000
cases.
So playing too much?
Yeah, playing too much of it, ignoring your partner,
prioritizing it.
Social media apparently
are also to blame
with
Instagram
Instagram and Facebook
also being mentioned quite
favourably in divorce proceedings
as reasons for divorce
I just had to quick google because
I saw this story yesterday or the day before
on the 6th of April
so tomorrow
in the UK, England and Wales,
you will be able to do a no-fault divorce.
Oh, so you don't have to put a reason?
Sorry, a reason.
What's it usually?
Irreconcilable differences.
Yeah, so now you're just like, I'm getting a divorce.
Why?
I don't bloody like him anymore.
Yeah, you don't need to put PlayStation
or a reason.
Adultery.
Because you have to both
agree on the reason? I'm worried now.
I'm Googling
acceptable reasons for divorce in New Zealand
when you both agree to a divorce.
Now you're going to get targeted advertising.
For divorce lawyers and stuff.
And then Sade's going to see it on your work computer.
She's going to be like,
oh yeah,
he's going to hear it.
Well,
you can finally,
you can finally meet Laura.
Lara.
sorry,
you're an imaginary.
God,
have I been bloody hearing
about that?
Jesus.
Well,
you shouldn't have told her
you had that dream.
Has Lara visited you again
in your dreams?
No.
Do you miss her?
I do.
She's a very good friend,
even though we only met
very briefly in one dream.
Yeah, just Google acceptable.
Because I know in New Zealand you still have to put a reason,
don't you?
I think so.
So what are grounds for divorce in New Zealand?
The only ground for getting it dissolved,
your marriage is old,
is irreconcilable breakdown of a marriage or civil union.
Oh, yeah.
It's the same thing.
You don't have to specifically put.
PlayStation.
Yeah.
I caught him wearing my clothes.
That's hot, though.
It's not bad.
It doesn't always lead to divorce.
It could lead to an exciting new chapter of marriage.
It absolutely could.
Yeah.
But today's fact of the day is in 2018,
both Candy Crush and PlayStation were named and shamed
as a major reason for divorce in Egypt.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Get ready to sort of clutch at your chest for a bit.
This is going to make you wince somewhat.
Okay.
So a 15-year-old young man in the United Kingdom was challenged to a dare.
The dare was to take their equivalent of lynx, get two cans,
spray them direct on the nips. Wait, so
one can per nip. Hard spray.
That comes out cold. Axe
body spray. Axe body spray. Why do
they have a different name for it here?
I don't know. It's the same product.
Australasian, right? Yeah.
Lynx. Right.
So we took the, I can imagine it was
only, the scent was Africa. It must have been.
Java.
Because it's the only scent that matters.
He took them to the nips and he sprayed and sprayed and sprayed until.
The whole cans.
The whole can was empty.
Both cans were empty on his nips.
Then at that point, one of his friends thought it would be quite a good idea to flip, flick
his nipples and they came right off.
What? He's pretty much they came right off. What?
He pretty much dry iced his nipples.
So his nipples were frozen, like frozen to their core,
and when his friend went boof, like boof, like that,
the areola is still there.
Because that picture, it's like it's been raised to the ground,
the nipple.
Yes, it has.
So the nibbly bit just came off.
Yeah, the volcano bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The peak of the mountain.
Yeah.
Came off with one flick.
And now he's left with silly looking nipples
for the rest of his life.
Well, he's just got areoles.
Yeah, he went to the hospital.
With a 2D nip.
Yeah.
It's no longer a 3D experience.
Could you have scoured around the floor
for the little nipple?
You can stitch it back on.
It's like when they freeze off moles.
Yeah, warts and stuff.
They stick out.
That's exactly what they do.
They hit them and then they just take them off. It's like your fingers. If your fingers get frozen, theyarts and stuff. They stick out like that's exactly what they do. They hit them and then they just take them off.
It's like your fingers.
If your fingers get frozen, they can snap off.
It's just so silly.
Take care of your nipples out there today.
Absolutely.
So he went to the hospital and had to explain what happened.
He's actually been able to laugh at the situation.
I think you have to.
You have to.
People have been trying to copy
him since. Don't do that. What?
Yeah. He said, now I
look back on it, it's so stupid.
But it's happened and now I've got no nipples.
Like I said,
there's still like a
stain there. There's a
hint of the areola.
But the surface of it is
well gone. And theipply bit is gone.
It is.
It's 2D.
It's a 2D.
Yeah, and I tell you what,
this has led me to ask,
and I don't know how,
what was your nipple accident?
I want to ask our listeners
if they've ever had a nipple accident of their own.
I had a bit of a nipple accident.
Open the floor.
All right, I'll get us started.
I'll kick us off a little bit. Oh, you've got one as well. I've got one too. Okay, we'll all share a nipple incident. I'll get a start. I'll follow you up next.
You've got one as well. I've got one too.
We'll all share a nipple incident.
Did you expect to get many calls on this?
Well, we've got three people sharing
stories right here right now.
That makes four, including this poor guy in the UK
with no more nips. Well, the thing is everybody's got nipples.
Everybody's got nipples.
If we're ever doing a
topic where literally everybody could have a story,
it works well.
Yeah.
Well, my nipple story was I used to suffer terribly from eczema
and I would always get it everywhere.
And one particular summer I was getting it really bad on my nipples.
They were always covered in eczema.
And I was at marching one day and I'd been sweating
because it's a very cardio heavy
sport. Could I just hold, pause. I don't know where this is going. I don't even know nipples
could get eczema. Yeah, yeah, they did. They were like really bad as well. And I was wearing a tight
sports bra to keep the puppies at bay. And at the end of a very heavy day of sweating, I was like,
oh my God, I pulled off my polo and then
i went to pull off my bra and i didn't do it with any caution and all of the skin of my nipples
because of the sweat had stuck to my sports bra and they were like on the bra and like so that
they were raw they were raw well all all my story was going to be is that um when i was doing the
half marathon i'd just grate them off with a new top.
Oh, yeah, chafed a bit.
So I had to wear plasters.
Yeah, yeah, you always.
And I got those perfectly round plasters and then I looked like a Barbie doll.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Same colour as your skin.
Yep.
And you do, you look like you've got no nipples whatsoever.
That was my story.
So I've ripped mine off.
You've chafed you.
You've grated yours off.
I've veted my whole chest once.
Like with the depilatory cream that melts the hair away.
Now, I did leave it on for too long.
No one forewarned me about how bad.
I mean, the instructions are on the bottle.
Yeah, but no one explained to me just how important it is to follow those instructions.
Seven minutes.
I even think the V-t bottle should have been in capitals.
Yeah. Screaming at me. Yeah. This amount maximumet bottle should have been in capitals. Yeah.
Screaming at me.
Yeah.
This amount maximum and then wash it off in a cold shower.
I left it on for 10 minutes, I think.
And my nipples wept.
Yeah.
I had weepy nipples.
It was like I was lactating.
I don't know what it was.
Nipples wept.
My nipples wept.
So you've still got them.
They're still formed.
I've still got nipples.
They've had a hiding in my life, my nipples.
Yeah.
Like just when you said about the grating down the nipples in a shirt.
That's happened.
But also when we were kids, we had a cheap polystyrene boogie board.
Oh, yeah.
All summer out there before rash shirts, nips straight on polystyrene.
I'll tell you what else gets.
And it melts the nipples down.
I'll tell you what else gets a man nip is a hydra slide and being on the mat.
You wouldn't experience this because you have the.
I typically wear a top. I'm at the public pools.
Only since you've been asked to.
Oh, my God.
How many times?
Well, there we go.
There's four stories.
There's four stories.
We want to know, what was your nipple accident?
Oh, 800-DARLS-IT-M-9696.
Do you reckon anyone's pulled out a piercing?
I was just going to say,
please don't tell me you've torn a nipple ring.
Give us a call.
So apparently this is a thing that people do,
and we've heard stories more than once.
A story from the UK about a guy that was dared
to get a couple of bottles of deodorant and spray them on his nips,
and his friend flicked the nipple clean off, like they do with warts.
Do not try this at home.
Freeze dried it. Yeah. Somebody said, we did this when we were 14, living in the UK, accepted the N instead of flicking it off. Like they do with warts. Do not try this at home. Freeze dried it.
Somebody said, we did this when we were 14 living in
the UK, except at the end, instead of flicking it off,
you clip the clothes peg onto it
and it just popped the nip straight off.
Don't do that. Why would you be taking your nipples
off? You're 14, your nipple
hasn't even lived yet. It hasn't lived.
Boy, what a life ahead.
You're 20s, one day you're going to
flick it on something and you're going to be like, oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
An awakening.
We are talking about nipple accidents on the show this morning.
And wow, getting some stories.
We thought there might be a shortage of nipple stories, but not the case.
No, well, we've all got nipples.
I said from the start, this would be a runaway success.
Had a girl working on our farm with a nipple piercing.
One day she was climbing through a fence and the nipple piercing got caught and ripped it right out.
Yeah, this is one of those conversations that definitely makes you go.
Sherea, what happened?
Hi.
Well, I was smoking a cigarette.
Sometimes people say that tailor-made.
Tailor-made.
Tailor-made.
Yes.
Okay.
Sometimes people say tailor Mades are lucky
when someone's thinking of you,
and the way to tell is when the red ember gets real long.
No?
Oh, someone's thinking of you.
Jesus Christ, I've heard of star signs,
but I've not heard of city signs.
Oh, yeah.
Someone must have been thinking about me that day
because the whole red piece fell off
and fell down in my brows and burnt my nipple.
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Jeez.
What was the scarring like?
Yeah, just a little scar lying on my nipple.
Yeah, so you've still got a scar to this day.
A little burn mark.
Oh, wow.
I couldn't get it out.
I was like, oh, God.
And I'm going, oh, my God, get out, get out.
And I got a lot.
Tried to lift my brow and everything, and it got stuck there. And I was like, oh, shit,, get out, get out. And I'm going to drop. Tried to lift my bra and everything, and it got stuck.
And I was like, oh, I should have put it under cold water.
Well, did you stop, drop, and roll?
You're on fire.
No, that would have only pushed it higher onto the nipple.
Oh, thank God for that.
You're too sensitive.
Oh, Sherea.
Someone comes home.
Sherea's got a tit out in the sink.
Running around in a bowl of water.
All right, give me a tit. Why is Sherea got her tit in the sink?
Oh, she burned her nip because someone was thinking of her
and her durry ember got real long.
You know old Sherea.
Keep your tits and coals coming in.
We're talking nipple injuries after this dude lost a nipple
to a can of Lynx in a flick.
This is a PSA for nipple piercings, isn't it?
It is.
So many nipple piercing stories
and breastfeeding stories as well.
I'm sure somebody said,
I'm sure you've heard
from plenty of breastfeeding mums
that will know the pain
of when your children
first grow teeth.
Oh.
But I was feeding my son
in Christchurch 2010, 2011.
There was a tremor.
I tense up,
he bites down.
Oh.
Fairly traumatised
nip after that one.
Yeah, somebody said
all the mums out there right now
are just really feeling like getting taken back to that
time. Someone said I stupidly wore a
lace bra while jogging.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No.
No.
The support alone is bad.
Sandpaper.
Sometimes you just want to go for a yog and feel sexy, you know?
You know what you do?
You do.
Take your sexy knickers.
Yeah.
And then when you get to wherever you want to feel sexy on the yog, put them on.
Or put them on underneath, but then chuck a bend on on top.
Or put the bend on underneath.
And then lace on top.
Lace over top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
MJ, you had a nipple accident.
So I had a fresh nipple ring for like two months maybe.
And I do remember when I put the piercing in it,
they told me to be careful of doors and stuff.
And I wasn't quite so careful of the shower door.
Yeah. Climbed in, hooked off the shower door. Yeah.
Climbed in, hooked it on the door.
It never pulled out or anything, but it fucked the whole boob off.
Got a tough nip.
That's what they always say about MJ.
Oh, no.
Oh, tough nips, MJ.
I've seen a nipple that had a ring in it, and it was like it had been yanked out,
and it was just like a concave
like crater.
Oh dear. How are your nipples now
MJ? Nipple update?
Um, well the seat
belt doesn't last you very much so
it's constantly in trouble but it's
okay. The seat belt!
Oh god! Yeah, that was another
thing they warned about because the seat belt rubs right
over it all the time. Oh god, wow. That. That was another thing they warned about, because the seatbelt rubs right over it all the time.
Oh, God.
Wow.
Oh, that'd either be terrible or kind of nice.
Yeah, word to those who are wanting a piercing, think about it.
Yeah, think about it.
MJ, thanks for your call.
What about you, Julie?
You had a nipple accident?
I did.
I was only 15, and I was on a horse riding camp,
and someone was hiding up the girth on their horse, which is the bit that holds the saddle on.
Someone was what?
Hiding the girth.
Oh, right. Okay.
Just get to watching Yellowstone. Fletcher will know all about the saddle and all the bits and pieces.
They were hiding up the girth.
Hiding the girth. And the horse just lashed out, shot its head out and bit the closest thing it could find,
which happened to be me and my nipple.
Oh my God.
Did it like do damage?
Well, it ripped my bra
and made the nipple bleed,
but that was through like three layers of clothing.
Oh my God.
At 15?
A horse has got a big mouth.
For me at 15,
that would have been the whole breast in the mouth.
That would have been it, the whole the mouth. Yeah, it would have been.
That would have been it, the whole chest.
Wow.
Oh, Julie.
Did that put you off horses?
Well, almost off horses anyway because mine wasn't a great horse.
But it was, yeah, we had to keep, I was 15.
I was so embarrassed that I didn't tell anyone.
But I kept it to ride for another couple of days and the pain was just.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Bloody horses, eh? Full recovery, though?
Full recovery?
The nip is...
Full recovery?
I mean, I've since fed two children, and so they're scarred.
Oh, they're scarred.
Scarred to smithereens anyway.
Brilliant.
Julie, thank you for sharing some messages in.
Some horrible stories.
People with horse stories.
A few messages of...
The old horse.
The old...
Yeah.
I mean, just flicking.
Well, this is why back in the old days,
the knights used to wear body armor.
Stop the nips being nipped. It was strictly for the nips.
Anything being nipped at.
Somebody said,
I burnt my nips on the supermarket chicken warmer.
Were they reaching for a chicken in the back?
They were reaching for a chicken in the back.
They were going for the freshest chuck.
Yeah, but how were your nips out?
No, they weren't.
But you know, it's like sometimes that you'd be leaning.
Yeah.
And by the time the heat gets through, it's really, really hot.
Did it touch the number six chicken or did it touch an element?
No, I think it touched the element or some steel aspect.
Oh, it might have been the juice.
You know the juice in a supermarket chuck.
Always as hot as Hades.
Hot as Hades.
It'll burn a nip.
My boyfriend was playing with our breast pump.
So when you have a baby, you can pump the milk from your breast.
And he wanted to have a turn on it.
He put the suction on high and put it on thinking it was a bit of a gag
and walked around and la-di-da-di-da.
And then he took it off and really his nipples were very, very bruised.
The one had a big crack in it.
It sounds like he's got dry nipples, though.
A crack.
You got to moisturise.
It sounds like he needs to moisturise.
Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that he's got some really dry nips there.
Follow-up message from the Chookburn.
Yep.
They say this was accidentally on purpose.
Then they were leaning their nips on the steel. Oh, because it's warm. They're like, oh, this is nice on purpose. Now, do you think they were leaning their nips on the stair?
Oh, because it's warm.
Oh, they're like, oh, this is nice on a cold day.
Especially in winter, you're like, lean over.
Heat me up.
Put the nips on there.
But then the warmth went to burning.
Too quickly.
As it very much would.
Oh, okay.
My toddler launched himself off the bed last night
and grabbed my nip through the top, through my top with his teeth.
No, your nipples aren't meant to carry the weight of a toddler.
No.
Yeah.
Ah.
That's an odd look from you, a puzzled look.
My mate can squeeze green stuff out of his nips on cue.
No.
I would probably go and see a doctor.
That doesn't sound like a party trick.
That sounds like a dormant tumor. I need more trick. That sounds like a dormant tumour.
I need more info.
That sounds like a tumour.
It's a tumour.
It sounds a hell of a lot like a tumour.
I think you've got a tumour.
Soundkeeper Alls is in.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Guess what, quickly.
In my Uber today, it turned up.
It was a Tesla.
I rode to work in style.
Did you get the Lamborghini doors?
Not the doors, but I didn't know how to open it.
That was so fancy.
How do you open a Tesla?
There's like, yeah, some random little button thing.
And it does self-steering.
He showed me that.
Well, no, I don't know how to open the shape.
Does he just spend his whole time showing off his Tesla?
Because people are like, this is the first time I've been in one.
When I got an Uber Tesla, it was the Lamborghini doors.
He was so stoked to pick us up.
We got in and he was like, do you want to see how fast I can reach 50k?
And we were like, yeah, go on.
It was like, there you go, two seconds.
Wow. Yeah, so that was fun.
So was that five stars? You gave them five
stars? Yeah, I did.
Well, your day's about to get better.
God, yes! I'm going to eat one.
Bag of Fijos.
You love Fijos. Dude, I'll sit
there under the tree and just devour
them. We used to do that when we were kids. You get so
poosy if you eat too many Fijas.
Yeah, you do.
They go right through you.
They go straight through you.
Can I eat one?
Yeah.
Oh my God,
you're just going
through the skin.
That's how you do it.
Oh, these are good.
Straight off the tree.
Good Fijas.
Is that better than
riding in a Tesla though?
Yes.
Oh wow,
she's hurting the face.
Good praise.
You had a bad night
on the Fijas bodies though,
eh? Yeah, when I was 16, I had a terrible night on the Fijoa Vodis, though, eh?
Yeah, when I was 16, I had a terrible night on Fijoa vodka.
My mum had to peel me off the toilet and put me to bed.
I reckon never touch another Fijoa.
I reckon a lot of people would have been, thanks, 42 Below.
That's why I can't eat that fruit Midori.
Oh, the Midori fruit.
Yeah, that's why I can't do that.
What, you went ham on the Midori?
I bombed green on my friend's carpet.
It was the same.
I can no longer sit underneath the purple guano tree
and eat the delicious fruit of the purple guano.
Oh, that's no good.
All right.

Good morning. How are you?
Good. Thank you. Good. Right. Well,
you've managed to get through
that first hard bit. The next
hard bit is telling us what this sound is.
The $50,000.
What is it?
I think that it's
a pulling the pin on a fire
extinguisher. Have you ever
had to do that before?
No, I haven't. No.
Aaron just recently
taught me how to do it.
I don't even know if I know how to
do it, to be honest.
In an emergency you'd figure it out quite quickly.
It shouldn't be too hard.
You want it to be easy when you're panicking.
But it's those pins, eh, that are almost like a bobby pin
that goes like do-do-f, do-do-f, do-do-f.
Like a pin in a grenade so you don't accidentally squirt your extinguisher.
How many grenades have you detonated?
Many.
You're a big grenade tosser.
Yeah.
And you've looked at the clues? I have, yes. Many. It's a grenade tosser. And you've looked at the
clues?
I have, yes.
So you've somehow
gotten that answer through them?
Yes.
Don't make out your clues actually.
Help.
Actually help anyone.
Help in any way.
Make it worse.
It can't be too easy.
Hey, Tessa?

Lucy joins us.
Good morning, Lucy.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Hi, how are you going?
Super good.
So this is the secret sound that you no doubt have been replaying in your head and online over and over again for $50,000.
Lucy, what is it?
I think that it might be a guillotine chopping down.
Like you put your cartridge paper in there?
Or on a head.
Yeah, not a head, right?
Not a head one, Lucy?
Yeah, no, not a head, no.
A paper one, okay.
A paper guillotine.
Because they don't have the big, like, choppy down things now.
They're on rollers, aren't they?
We used to be able to use those at primary school.
You used to just go and guillotine your paper as an eight-year-old.
I remember saying to their principal,
oh, a guillotine's not cutting the paper.
Right, and so you've got to...
I'm actually a teacher, so, yeah.
I think it's the choppy down ones.
Yeah, would you get a whetstone out and sharpen the blade on the guillotine
so it would cut through paper?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But do you have the one that comes down a big arm, or is it on a roller?
Yes, yeah, we've got the arm and the roller ones.
Oh, damn.
Wow, I thought they got rid of those because of safety.
Screw safety.
Oh, you may be a school-reads a bit of a jokin' too.
Can you not eat your cereal, please?
No one eats oats, and it is cereal,
so thank you for the confirmation on that.
It's oats.
It's oats or oats.
Don't eat your cereal, and I'm eating oats.
No.
And you know I only eat oats.
Oats or oats.
You've stuffed us.
Lucy, what do you think it is for $50,000?
We're locking in guillotine?
Yeah.
Paper guillotine.
Okay.
We're doing it.
Lucy?
It's mandatory silence here.
That is not the secret sound.
No, no, no, no.
All right.
You watch out.
None of those kids lose a finger today in the guillotine. Jesus, don't say that.
Now you've just cursed her.
She's going to be standing by the guillotine all day.
I'll keep an eye on them.
Yeah, do that.
Do that.
It's a good life lesson.
It is.
Losing a finger, isn't it?
Oh, no, no, no.
One way to lose.
It's a good life lesson.
You know, it's not like a gross bat.
All it cost you was a single digit.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
