Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Fawn and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, Simply Good Coffee. Try their delicious and refreshing iced coffee now at Macca's. Now I will say tomorrow we will be doing the show from the Garden City from Christchurch. Half of the show will be done in a tent. So will the podcast be a little bit late tomorrow with the uploading? Somewhat, somewhat. Somewhat a little bit late, but it will be done. So please, please just bear that in mind tomorrow. Should we say soz about it? Soz about it.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Soz about it in advance. Thoughts and prayers while you're away. Thoughts and prayers, yeah. Fantastic. But yes, it'll be half a show from the studio and half a show from a tent. Yeah. So will they get the tent stuff? They'll get the tent stuff?
Starting point is 00:00:41 We'll give them the tent stuff. So giving away a tent and a big holiday. That's a thing we're doing. Yeah, it's a thing we're doing, which you may not have heard in the podcast because we cut those things out, don't we? Yeah, we do. A lot of the time, yeah. Now, we're going away.
Starting point is 00:00:53 You've been furiously finishing painting. I'm tired. During your home renovations. So our kitchen's coming in tomorrow. Tomorrow? This is the one with the big wine bottle holder. The big wine rack. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:05 And they were like, can we come and start on Thursday? And we're like, oof, we're going to be cutting it fine because we're in Christchurch and I'm not there to help. So yesterday, man, we were hooning, turning our white undercoated walls into a green haven. And we did quite well. A graven. A graven. Now, how would you describe this green? We call it like a velvety green.
Starting point is 00:01:26 It's like a mossy velvet. Yeah. It's very rich. It's a rich, dark, foresty green. I liked it, though. Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, it's crazy, but it's hard to paint with colour. I get why everyone paints their house white.
Starting point is 00:01:43 It's very hard. Why is it different with colour? Because you can just see everything so much more. Oh, right. It all kind of comes up. You need lots of coats. Yeah. So we did a coat last night and then we're like, we'll let that dry and we'll pop to the pub.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Yeah. Have a break. As you do. As you do. Then we came back from the pub and it had been the recommended time, but I was touching the walls and they still felt a bit tacky. Not the colour being like garish, but like a bit sticky to the touch so right so we were like oh god we're not going to get it done in time and I'm off to Christchurch and do do do do scoot boot and baby and then um I made a wild suggestion and we did it which was let's go to bed now
Starting point is 00:02:21 and then we'll set an alarm for 2am and we'll get up then and do it before I go to work. You were painting your house at 2 a.m.? Yeah, the alarm went off and I was like, all right. And then what, you just painted until you came to work? Yeah, painted until 4 a.m., then I got in the shower and left and here I am. Why couldn't you have just let Aaron, your fiance, paint the last coat today? He could just be a bit rough. Okay, I see why you woke up at 2am now. No, he's
Starting point is 00:02:48 good. It's just better with two, you know. It's just better with two. Yeah, of course. And so I wanted to feel like I was there and helping because it's a big space and it has to get done today and I can't go back home. So it was 2am. We had those like floodlight things that you plug in. I love those. We're holding them and he'd be doing a bit and I can't go back home. So it was 2 a.m. We had those like floodlight things that you plug in. I love those. We're holding them and he'd be doing a bit and I'd be like shining it on that because obviously it's pitch black
Starting point is 00:03:10 and we don't have lights in our house. Right. Because we're renovating. Exciting. So we did some torches at 2 a.m. Seemed a bit mad, but it was sort of quite fun. I put on some gentle music. Oh, what music?
Starting point is 00:03:21 At 2 a.m. I put on a soft rock playlist. Oh, yeah. I'm talking your eagles. Genesis? Bit of Genesis. I put on a soft rock playlist. I'm talking your eagles. Genesis? I started with REM. Losing My Religion. Nice. It was good fun. The thing is, you've got to do what you've got to do,
Starting point is 00:03:35 you know, at a 2am paint job was what I had to do this morning. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Two minutes past six. I've got a booking at Blue Canoe in Queenstown on the 1st of January. So I'm going to need to get there. You're going to need those flights, are you? I'm going to need those flights to just go ahead. Like, not the news we needed. Not now. Not now. Not now.
Starting point is 00:04:09 So a bad batch of fuel imported into the country. Yeah. And normally, we'd have the Marsden Point Refinery to fix any dodgy fuel. But we don't have that to refine any dodgy fuel. No. So, what do we tip it out to sea, do we?
Starting point is 00:04:26 Yeah, feed it to the fishes. Mix it into the ocean and then import some more. Give it a Viking funeral. Put it on a big boat and start shooting arrows at it. Fun. Fun. Isn't that why they have those big tanks at the airport? Like, to have reserves?
Starting point is 00:04:44 Do I have to think of everything? Do you know how much we go through? Loads. We go through so much. You're looking at the fine wine delivery pamphlet there? This just fell out of the... I was picking up the paper to read the... Oh, it just fell out, did it?
Starting point is 00:04:56 The front page. The front page of the fuel crisis and out fell the fine wine delivery Christmas deals. Any Prosecco in there? There is, but it's not our Prosecco. There's a page of Prosecco. There's a page of Prosecco, yeah. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my Prosecco. Ah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Well, let me find the Prosecco. I'll read it in my private time. We've already been through the Prosecco. Prosecco has parked itself at the front. Yeah, it's under sparkling. It's where it's at. I'll read it in my private time. We've already been through the Prosecco. Prosecco has parked itself at the front. Yeah. It's under sparkling. It's where it's at.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Under sparkling deals. I know, but presumptuous to park itself at the front. I mean, maybe because it's the festive season, so you pop a bottle of bubbles, don't you? Sure. All right, well, coming up. I'm year round, I'll be honest with you. Coming up on the show, the top six. You're going to deal with the dodgy fuel that's been imported.
Starting point is 00:05:43 The top six signs the fuel was dodgy all along. Okay. It's coming up in the top six, you're going to deal with the dodgy fuel that's been imported. The top six signs the fuel was dodgy all along. Okay, it's coming up in the top six. Yep. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Well, here we were a few weeks ago. I was whinging about my pillow. I felt like it was doing me a disservice. Yeah, why? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:05:57 It just came up out of nowhere. COVID? No, I inhaled the wrong way. Okay, all right. Very salivary mouth.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Also paint fumes. Yeah. A lot of painting. A lot of painting. A lot of painting. And they refuse to open the window at their house when they paint. I'm surprised you're not green. Well, my fingernails are.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I'm just picking them. Well, you probably slept well, but it was because of paint fumes. But we got sent pillows. Yeah, we're pillow influencers now. We're about to influence you. We're influencers now. We're about to influence you. We're pillow influencers. We're about to influence your pillowing. Pinfluencers.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Do you know, we've done this before, though. This isn't our first rodeo. For the sleeping influencer. For the sleeping influencer. No, no. Because how many people messaged me when we talked about body pillows? Oh, body pillows. I thought you were going to say our foray into the sealy posturpedics.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Willie's that too. Yeah, we're sleep influencers. Do you think we do get asked to do stuff for sleep? Oh no, because we took it upon ourselves with the body pillow. Who last night I koala'd all night and my back feels great this morning. I had a friend around in my house recently and they spotted the body pillow
Starting point is 00:06:59 on my bed, which wasn't made. And they were like what is this? And they were like teasing me. And I was like, no is this? And they were like teasing me. And I was like, no, no, you've got no idea. You have one night with this body pillow. You won't sleep without it. I just can't with the aesthetic.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I can't with the aesthetic. I know, when you make the bed, you have to put it in the wardrobe. It's so embarrassing. No, you put it as the bottom pillow, and then you put the two pillows that you sleep on on top of it, and then you put the dress pillows on top, and it just looks like a whole pillow bag. No, it's too high. It's a pillow bag.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It's absurd. It's a pillow bag. It's great. Do they sleep with the pillow, body pillows? No, no, they don't. Oh, they haven't yet. I feel like no one else can use your body pillow. That's yours. You can lend it out for a one night. Maybe you could. No way. With a new pillow case. You literally wrap
Starting point is 00:07:44 your thighs around it. Yeah, and then you watch your friend sleep with your body pillow. Wait, that With a new pillowcase. You literally wrap your thighs around it. Yeah, and then you watch your friend sleep with your body pillow. Wait, that's a thing. Is it? I think it is a thing in some circles. Yeah, some people are into it. Well, the sleep influencing continues. Well, by Natalie messaged saying,
Starting point is 00:07:58 I heard you talking about pillows. Would you like a pillow? Because we're talking about travel pillows. Yes. That's right, because I said I want one that you can roll up and you can with these, you can roll them up, put them in a bag.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It comes with its own little case. And go on holiday with them. Yeah. Because, you know, you go stay in an Airbnb or a hotel or whatever and they're not as good, the pillows.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah, I know. They don't want to spend money on pillows because people just steal them. Yeah, well, that's true. I've stolen a pillow from a hotel once. Just once. Did you exchange
Starting point is 00:08:26 another pillow? That's manky. Nah. I was like, no one ever seen anything. Was it a good pillow? Yeah, it was a good pillow. This was years ago before I had a moral compass and I was a bit poor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:41 So, by Natalie sent it. We said, is this this Natalie Were you guys nervous Because remember I got mine Maybe like A good week and a half Before you guys Yeah And you thought you'd been left out
Starting point is 00:08:51 But that was because By Natalie sent me A whole box The whole family got a box A whole family And you should have seen these two These two in studio Livid for the fact
Starting point is 00:08:59 That my entire family Was getting a new pillow I was grateful for the one Yeah Yeah four is cool Four was pretty Four was pretty cool But anyway I've given it a couple of nights getting a new pillow I was grateful for the one yeah um yeah four four was cool four was pretty pretty cool
Starting point is 00:09:08 but anyway I've given it a couple of nights and I can say you're pretty amazing I got a free pillow but I haven't been paid to say actually you know it is a pretty good pillow
Starting point is 00:09:16 yeah I've been telling people memory foam for years it's where it's at I've had him stop acting like you're the only person with a memory foam pillow I've had a memory foam pillow
Starting point is 00:09:23 for as long as I can remember. He thinks he was before me, but he was after. He's like a foam inner. He used to be a foam inner for years. A foam inner. I've been a foam inner for years as well. Like a small mall mini mattress. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:39 From the warehouse. A foam. Oh, right. Yeah. Well, not really. I've had a memory foam pillow for a long time. But before that, when I was a kid, I had a foam, oh, oh, right. Yeah. Well, not really. I've had a memory foam pillow for a long time, but before that, when I was a kid, I had a foam pillow. Oh, yeah. Because absurdly, I sleep
Starting point is 00:09:52 with two pillows. I've got one memory foam and one feather. So that's why I buy Natalie's, why lovely Natalie sent us a memory foam with a feather topper. Yeah. Yeah, it's next level. It's pretty good. Best of both worlds. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But yeah. Just wow. But who is Natalie? We don't know. We don't know. And we never will. We assume she broke into NASA. With a USB stick.
Starting point is 00:10:16 And stole their pillow technology. Stole the memory foam pillow technology. But thank you, Natalie. Well, from pillows to open relationships. Next on the show. Oh, I reckon I could have had a bit more work on that. Oh, yeah, it was a really sloppy segue. Speaking of jumping into bed.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yes, that was good. That's good. That's good for me. That is good for you. December. The student has become the teacher. Wow, that was really good. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:10:46 People have been asking about... What? Someone's computer just started charging. I just heard the Apple charging noise. Boing. Pring. Pring. A study's been done into open relationships.
Starting point is 00:10:59 No. It's a no from me. Well, your one's enough. Too much bullshit. What? I'm a... Well, Jason Momoa is coming back to the country. He is, and I've been given permission.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So that would be an open as opposed to a cheat. People may think you're joking, but you have specifically asked for permission from your long-time partner, and he said yes. He said yes. Does he actually think it's going to happen? Not even in a sort. Fiance, yeah. And he said yes. He said yes. Does he actually think it's going to happen? And not even in a sort of jokey way, I said,
Starting point is 00:11:28 Aaron, if Jason Momoa were to come to New Zealand and he wanted to have sex with me, not, you know, I'm not thrusting myself upon this man, but if he saw me and was like, let's go, I said, may I engage in a sexual act with him? Yeah. And Aaron thought about it for a second and he said, yes, you may.
Starting point is 00:11:50 So that's clear as day. That's open. And I guess I am feeding the rumours because if you remember... You've talked about this. Yeah. Not too long ago, a couple of months ago, my friend and comedian Pax Asadi said,
Starting point is 00:12:03 can I ask you a question? I've heard a rumor about you. And the rumor was that Aaron and I are in an open relationship. Which is not the case. Which is not the case. Well, people were asked, couples were asked, and only heterosexual couples. Because if you know any gay couples, you know that 95% of them are open. Yeah, it's a different conversation.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Or one of them doesn't know. That's not open. Is it not? Oh, okay Or one of them doesn't know. That's not open. Is it not? Oh, okay. Well, one third of men, so you're saying they did ask the gay couples, but one of them was in real hurry and needed to scurry away. Yes. Also, I can't believe the men did not answer this in front of their female partners.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Oh, no. Oh, no, definitely not. One third of men were open. I've got another theory about men in this, but you say the stats first. Well, one third of men were open to the idea of having more than one partner or a wife and extra fun on the side. Right. Whereas only 11% of women were keen.
Starting point is 00:12:57 See, I think men think they are. I think men think they are. But if their wife was like, okay, then I've found this guy and he's hot. This is him. Guys would immediately be like. They want it for themselves, but not for their partner to also have that. I think a lot of people that think they are, aren't. They just want to know that they can still touch a new body, you know.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Yeah. Have a fiddle with some new territory. Absolutely. But, you know, they're not a fiddle with some new territory. Absolutely. But, you know, they're not so keen that somebody else is going to colonise their home. Right, yeah, okay. I think that's the case with a lot of people. If push came to shove,
Starting point is 00:13:34 they wouldn't be as keen as they think they are. I have a couple of friends in open relationships and their main thing is they lay rules. Yeah, ground rules. There's some real ground rules and there's some, like, communication is key. Because some people are like, you can do it, but I don't want to know about it. And other people are like, you can do it, but you have to tell me.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And, like, not here, not when we're in the same city as one of my friends. Yeah. It's only when, you know, we're apart. But I just, it seems so complicated. Yeah. You definitely can't it seems so complicated. Yeah. You definitely can't be a jealous person. No.
Starting point is 00:14:07 No, you'd have to be so secure within your relationship to be able to let that happen and then come back and be like, I'm unaffected. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Plus, I haven't finished Pornhub yet. God, that thing just keeps getting more and more. It's so hard to keep up with the amount of content. Oh my God, I know.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I'm always like, today I'm going to clock it. Yeah, and you think you have, and then you're like, arranged by recent uploads, you're like, I can't even find where I was up to. Yeah, where was I up to? I've even done the weird stuff. I'm so far off getting to the weird stuff. Play.

You were never to say Macca's, were you? No, but then do you know what made it Macca's Australia? Because they could not. I think in Australia They tried so hard

Because, of course, now at the moment, soft serve, vanilla, the end. White. Soft serve, the end. So the chocolate one in the little noddles cone. They've done this before, though, right?

Starting point is 00:18:58 Play ZX Fletch for the daily. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah. Ah. Before I tell you what today's fact of the day is, you're not allowed to laugh at what it's called because it's somebody's surname and it'll be incidentally racist when you find out where they're from. Thank you for that warning. Thank you for protecting us.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Today's fact of the day is about the Arso defence. Well done. Well done to you both, broadcasting professionals. Because it is named from Japanese commercial airline pilot Captain Kouhi Aso. My name! No, you failed. Well, I hope you're both happy with yourself.
Starting point is 00:19:51 She made me because it was... I made the laugh not go out and then she made it pop out. The Aso defence. Why are you... It's because... It's how you're saying it. It's how you're saying it. You're making it naughty.
Starting point is 00:20:05 You sound like the baby from Meet the Fockers. Asshole. The arso effect. Thank you. Arso. You were saying arso. Arso. Real kongy words.
Starting point is 00:20:16 He's a Japanese pilot in 1968. He was landing at San Francisco International. San Francisco. Holy moly. I don't know. He was landing a plane at San Francisco International Airport
Starting point is 00:20:30 as they began their descent and came down through the mountains. They had a thick layer of fog. Oh, yeah. Famous fog in San Fran. Yeah. A lot of fog.
Starting point is 00:20:39 68. He came down and he's like, whoops, we're a bit short and he had to land in the water. Now he landed in shallow water. No passenger even got wet. The plane, while it needed about $4 million worth of repairs,
Starting point is 00:20:51 was back in the air 12 months later. They said as far as a water landing could go, you could not ask for a final water landing. Oh, okay. He stopped short two and a half miles of the runway. That's a big error, boy. Yeah, big error. You shouldn't be allowed to fly after that.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And he said, this was his defense. Somebody said, what went wrong? Was it due to poor visibility? Was it the weather? Was it unfamiliarity of the landing gear? Was it anything? And he said, no, as you Americans would say, I absolutely effed it up.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Wow, he just went. So the Arso defense, the Arso defense, He said, no, as you Americans would say, I absolutely effed it up. Wow, he just went. So the arsehole defense is immediately admitting you're at fault and not blaming anything else. Oh, okay. And apparently it's the most. No excuses. Apparently it's the most respected defense in business. If you come out and people forgive it so quickly,
Starting point is 00:21:42 if you're really earnest about it, okay, this is my fault. I did wrong. This is why I did wrong. Let's move on. Because I blame everything on you or Hayley. Yes. Don't I? You do.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Like when Hayley left the mics on the other day during the ad break, that was Hayley's fault. I didn't leave the mics on. See that big desk in front of you? You left the mics. She bumped it on. Yeah, so technically we're both to blame there.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Both to blame. But I could have said, I F that up. Yes. And that would have been... Enough. Yeah, that would have been the... For me personally,
Starting point is 00:22:14 I like to blame someone else. Yeah, same. Yeah, so you're not as respected in the business circles. Yeah, right. Yeah. It is the best way to do it though, own it.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah, and people said like, the best part about it is how quickly everybody moves on because there's no blame game. And the blame game can derail everything and take ages to resolve itself. Whereas if you knew you were wrong, people will just respect you
Starting point is 00:22:33 and will be like, yeah, I absolutely effed that up. Sorry about that. Like when a celebrity, you know, dances around the fact when they've done something. Yes. And they make excuses and you're just like, just own it. You're effed up. Their apology is like, I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:22:48 I offended you. But. There's no but in an apology. A good apology shouldn't contain a but. Yeah. Unless it's like, I'm sorry for smacking your butt. And then there's a different type of but. There's two buts. There's two T's but. So today's fact of the day.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Wait, but did this guy fly again? Yeah. So they demoted him to co-pilot. Oh, no. And he worked really hard for like three more years and became a full-blown like captain again. Captain pilot. And he didn't have another mistake.

Starting point is 00:23:37 So today's fact of the day is there is a term called the Arso Defence.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there.
Starting point is 00:24:17 As previously mentioned on the show, we've got some dodgy fuel. That could mean some flight postponements. Could be like, well, there's enough seats on the next flight to Christchurch, for example, and we could just merge a couple of flights. Have you flown lately? No, I haven't. You're about to fly today. There's not even a spare seat on a plane.
Starting point is 00:24:34 No, I know. It's nuts. Also, by the way, am I sitting next to any of you guys on our flight this morning? To where? Yeah. We can't give away the location of our flight. flight this morning. To where? To... Yes. We can't give away the location of our backpack tent tomorrow. I wouldn't dare.
Starting point is 00:24:51 But I hope we bump into Dan Carter. We are flying to Chemist Warehouse. We're going to have a tent inside of Chemist Warehouse. No, we're not. I'm just going with all these packed flights. You always have to sit next to a stranger and I need... I want to sleep. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:07 So dodgy fuel means what? Rationing. Yeah. Yeah, we've got to wait for some more. I don't know if we send this back to where we go if we've got receipts, and we send it back saying, hey, this isn't any good. This isn't any bloody good. So by the time they get some more in, it'll be what? Christmas.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Well, they say, yeah, to the 20th of December. But I've got the top six signs we should have known that the fuel was dodgy all along. Okay. Had some signs, did you? Yeah, had some big signs. Here's the top six of them. Number six on the list are the signs that the fuel
Starting point is 00:25:32 was dodgy all along every time you tried to see what it was looking at on its phone and it angled the screen away. Dodgy. Yeah, dodge. And it never told you its password to unlock the phone.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Dodgy. Dodgy. Dodgy. Dodgy. Do you reckon it's one of those people that has one of those screen privacy? Oh, yes. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:26:13 to squirrel away for purposes unknown. That's a runaway fund there. Yeah. Drug fund. Shoe box in the ceiling. Dodgy. Dodge. Dodgy.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Number three on the list of the signs the fuel was dodgy all along. Dodgy. Number three on the list besides the fuelers dodgy all along. The fueler would never turn on fine friends so you could never really know where it was going when it just had to really quickly pop out.
Starting point is 00:26:32 That's what I, my friend James has turned his fine friends off. I didn't have mine on until you guys made me. Well, I, you know, I'm tracking you now.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I didn't make you. I don't even, I haven't been on fine friends for ages. Well, I know we've all known this because he's always like, I'm tracking you now. I didn't make you. I haven't been on Find Friends for ages. Well, I know where Vaughn is because he's always like, I'm just leaving the house. I'm like, Vaughn, you're still at the house.

It's not a separate app anymore, right? It's just called Find. So the only people I can see, it's you select who can see you. You add your friends. This is on the iPhone.
Starting point is 00:27:09 The only people that can see me is my mum and my dad. Okay. And me. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. I'll be turning mine off before holidays. I don't need you guys seeing where I am on holidays.

Starting point is 00:27:34 to follow your location. I just realised he's following mine, I'm not following his. That doesn't seem fair. No, that isn't fair. Yep. Okay, done.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Number two on the list of the top six signs of fuel was dodgy all along. The autofill on the computer for logging onto Facebook brings up some weird usernames you've never heard of. Oh, dodgy. Yes, what's that email? Dodgy. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:28:04 Totally dodgy. That's what I saw. So the NHS, the National Health Service. Which is our, what do we call ours? No, that's Britain's, but what is our version of that? Hospitals. We just have hospitals. We just have hospitals.
Starting point is 00:28:23 But don't we call them something? DHPs No, because they're district health boards that look after the hospitables Who's our version of the NHS? I don't know if we've got one We definitely do Maybe we just call it the public health
Starting point is 00:28:38 Ministry of Health New Zealand Health System Ministry of Health So this is the UK's Ministry System Health Care Public. They have through years and years of dealing with
Starting point is 00:28:53 patients come up with a list of 20 medical conditions and illnesses or experiences that humans can go through that they believe are the worst pain that humans can go through that they believe are the worst pain that humans can experience in all time. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Preface, a preface, they even made a clause to exclude childbirth and a knock to the testicles. Oh, yes, testicles. Because they say the pain is unlike that. You can't compare it to anything. Oh, yes. Testicles. Because they say the pain is unlike that. You can't compare it to anything. Oh, wow. Okay. So,
Starting point is 00:29:30 that's not in the list. So, I've got the 20. They're not in an order. So, I'm just going to read them in a random order. Broken bones. Never had a broken bone in my life. I've broken this arm twice. I'm a lefty, and I'm a lefty.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yeah. So that was annoying. Ankle as a child and my wrist as an adult. Yeah, and it hurts. Oh, shit, yeah. Big time. Pain after surgery, whatever. Fibromyalgia, which is a condition that causes pain all over the body.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Oh, wow. That's just like, I'm in pain. That would be horrible. Yeah. I was reading an article about it before, and it was a woman said she just feels like she's getting 50 electric shocks from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. Awful.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Stomach ulcer. I've never had that. Yeah, that sounds horrible. Apparently very painful. Gout is the next on the list. Oh, yeah. Okay. I've heard that's bloody horrible.

Starting point is 00:30:40 Like you know you get a migraine and it makes you spew Yeah I think some people just get headaches and say they've got a migraine and it makes you, like, spew. Yeah. I think some people just get headaches and say they've got a migraine, but they don't really have a sign. A bad headache is not a migraine. A migraine's like you can't see. I did, I'd play with a girl years ago in Wellington, and she
Starting point is 00:30:55 got visual migraines. So when she got a migraine, it got so bad she couldn't see anymore. Oh, wow. And it happened on stage. And she was like, I can't see. And I was like, oh, yeah. Anyway, sciatica is the next one. That's nerve pain, eh, down the side of your body. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're like pinching something in your back.
Starting point is 00:31:13 It comes from the back often. Yes. And then you get sciatica down the side. It's the sciatic nerve. Of course on the list is endometriosis. Yeah. That's your tissue growing, stuff growing on your womb or your uterus. On your reproductive.
Starting point is 00:31:29 And your reproductive organs. Yeah. And you've got to remove it and it's incredibly painful. Yeah. Acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis. Never heard of it. Trigeminal neuralgia.

Starting point is 00:31:49 Aaron's got two slippery discs Yeah I've got a slippery disc It's not slipped too much But yeah it's horrible And then the end of the list Is frozen shoulder I'm pretty sure That's what I got
Starting point is 00:32:00 When I went like Frozen shoulder Frozen shoulder The muscles It holds the joint tight, right, so to move your arm is painful. And it's just like that. A cluster headache. Oh, that sounds like more than one.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Yeah, kidney stones. I've heard that so painful. JP's had that. You had kidney stones, eh? Was that painful, Jared? Oh, yeah. That's definitely one of the worst pains I've had. Did you wear yours out? Yeah, it took about a week. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:32:26 How big are they? They're like little hokey pokey nuggets, aren't they? Yeah, mine were like three or four millimetres, I think. Oh, that's a big nugget. But they can be quite bigger. Yeah. Can you get them out without having to come through the ureth? I believe they can use a machine that like sonic blasts them
Starting point is 00:32:43 to turn them into like gravel. Oh, like a laser. Yeah to turn them into like gravel. Like a laser. Yeah, or like a sound laser. Oh my God. We're living in the future, right? That's insane. Shoot a laser into your willy. And then, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:32:56 So kidney stones, appendicitis, that's horrible. And the last two are heart attack. Yeah. Bloody painful. On the list of the most painful things. I've always wondered if the heart attack hurt or if it just like took your breath away sort of. I think they can hurt.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah. I've seen that ad. It doesn't look like it hurts. You know that ad? It's like someone in this ad is having a heart attack and I picked the wrong person. And he's pushing his shoulder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I know, but sometimes they are like clutching the chest. The last one, I've had this. Shingles. I've had that. No, not yet. You haven't had it? No. That's horrible. It hurts. I had it like 20, no, 10 years ago and it still hurts. Which is weird
Starting point is 00:33:38 because it's a thing that normally you get after you're 50. It's more of an older person's. Or if you get run down or stressed out. Yeah, it's horrible because it hurts the whole time. It's like a burning patch of your skin. And then if you get it, it'll just shoot. Your nerve will be like.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah. You're walking along, you're like. It just feels like someone's like jabbed you in the ribs. Right. They added a bonus one that didn't quite make the 20, which is just tooth pain which I totally agree yeah when you've got an aching tooth that's bad anyway isn't the human body incredible that we can just like go through this pain and then be like I'm gonna stick around though not all the time
Starting point is 00:34:19 not all the time play it's flesh for the nail a Ashburton primary school called Borough Primary. It's the oldest school in Ashburton. It is saying like, oh, look at us. Over the history of the All Blacks, in our school history, we've had seven All Blacks. But did they, this is a primary school. Yeah. Because I kind of get it when high schools do this
Starting point is 00:34:40 because they would have like actually taught them some rugby skills there. Oh, no, hey, you've got to learn in an early age. The real skills are learned very early. You reckon? Remember that time I scored a try on the sideline at primary school? Yeah. Did you? So embarrassing. When he knew it wasn't for him. But it was playing quarter field, so the sideline was the try line for full field. I can see the confusion. I don't know any of these lines. I was real confused. What did I play at primary? I played hockey, actually, at primary school. Yeah, I moved on to hockey at intermediate when everyone got big
Starting point is 00:35:10 and I did not like to be touched. Yes. So seven All Blacks. Yeah. Would there be a record for any school? Maybe not. Your school's like your, I don't know, your big Canterbury. All the Barrett's would have gone to the same school.
Starting point is 00:35:23 So there's three All Blacks. That's Francis Douglas in New Plymouth. Francis Douglas. Yeah. But what about their primary school? Don't know. They would have all gone to the same primary school. Yeah, they would have. And then you only needed a few more over the hundred and whatever year history of the All
Starting point is 00:35:35 Blacks and you'd have as many All Blacks. A few more Barretts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How many Barretts have been All Blacks now? Three Barretts. Eight.

Starting point is 00:35:59 That doesn't count. I'm talking grassroots, slutty ruggers, man. On behalf of everyone that went to a rich school, we resent that. Did you have sport imports at Queen Margaret's?
Starting point is 00:36:08 You'd import drama. Yeah, it was a little bit more academic. Drama imports. Give me strength. They didn't need to. I've been offered
Starting point is 00:36:16 a drama scholarship. Excuse me, born you on the Best Cats production. Do you not? Oh, that's true. You don't want a bloody awful
Starting point is 00:36:23 Mr. Mustaflis, do you? Yeah, no. Do you know who went to that school that does ooh-la-la productions? Did you get any imports of drama students? Did you give any scholarships to poor kids just so they could be in Cats? I don't believe so. I think we just had a naturally talented crop of very rich young students.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yeah, right. What productions would your school do? We did, I was in Jesus Christ Superstar. Who did you play in Jesus Christ Superstar? I was Peter. Peter the Denier. Oh, Peter the Denier. I thought Peter was a good guy.

Starting point is 00:37:11 Because Judas is the big part in that. That was someone by the name of Matthew. Oh, no. No, he was part. He became an absolute nobody. But this is a question we want to ask this morning. What was the most famous person or the famous people that went to your school?
Starting point is 00:37:29 I've got a couple. Antonia Preble of Outrageous Fortune. She was a QMC girl and, get this. Older than you or younger than you? Older than me. Thank you. Wow. How much older?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Maybe like eight years or so. Okay. Hang on. No, I'm going to phone and find this out. Is she my age? Antonia... And who... Did you have anyone else?
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yes, I did. Nothing against Antonia Preble, but, you know... Oh, no, she's only five years older than me. I was only there for five years, so she would have left and then I would have arrived. Right. That's why there was space for me to become the hot young actor at Queen Margaret College.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Because your school would have a Wikipedia page, wouldn't it? Oh, 100% it would. Oh, probably. It's got a deep history and a lot of money behind it. What do they call aluminums? Illuminatis? Alumni. Alumni.

Were you into sport yourself, Josh? Yeah, I was a rugby player, yeah. Did you get smashed by these guys and you were like, this sucks? Nah, I'm a bit too young for them.

She needs a knighthood. And I know she should be getting a damehood, but she needs a knighthood. She should. Nadia Lim.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Somebody said, I went to school with Nadia Lim. She was in the same class as me. I try not to think about it as it makes me feel inadequate. Now, I don't want to hear any of that talk. Imagine if she burned her quiche at school. Oh, my God, at school. What do you say? Nadia burned her quiche.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Imagine if Nadia burned the quiche. In Home Economics. She was skiving off. She burned her quiche. Can I tell you about when I nearly gave food poisoning to Miss Punday? And she was the Home Economics teacher, Indian, and I made her a curry and it was raw. Now, did you plop the chicken into the curry
Starting point is 00:48:10 raw thinking that the curry sauce would cook the chicken? Yeah. Wow, I mean. Wow, that's not how Chicken Tonight works. I insulted not only her, but also her people. Yeah. But she daren't say anything to the white rich kids. No. Well, you made her eat it, didn't you?

Starting point is 00:48:40 Someone said, Wellington Girls is way better than Queen Margaret's. Wellington Girls was Public school Down the road We used to like hold our nose as we walked past you on the street We were like, ew We had Anna Paquin and Jane Campion Oh wow, that's better acting isn't it
Starting point is 00:48:58 Out of that school, you'd say Two words, Hilary Barry Simon Barnett was the dreamboat Of Ashbourne Oh yeah, well he's not ageing at all Isn't that man Two words, Hilary Barry. Simon Barnett was the dream boat of Ashburton. Oh, yeah. Well, he's not ageing at all, is he? He looks fantastic.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Isn't that man? Frozen in time. Doesn't he look good? Lots of people haven't scored Lydia Ko. Number one in the bloody world at golf. You're number one.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Well, she was the other day when I saw her. Those rankings change all the time. What have you done? But he killed it. Killed it at the mini putt. Yeah. Bet she did. Play it. Zilled it at the mini-putt. Yeah. Bet she did.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. More financial pain on the way. The reserve bank is rising. The stock market inflation has pushed the reserve. Cost of living. Cost of living crisis. And the recession is inevitable.
Starting point is 00:49:41 The official Fletch, Vaughbourne and Hayley Ice Cream Index. Well, the Ice Cream Index, we're searching for the largest, tallest ice creams in the land. Bang for buck. During this time of economic crises, it's important to get giant ice creams. Bang for your buck. You're right, there's nothing more important.
Starting point is 00:50:00 There's nothing more important. As summer approaches. Well, today, we look towards the Hawke's Bay for the ice cream index. Yes, we do. And should we start with the most contentious offerings of when we ask for Hawke's Bay recommendations? Because your rules state it's got to be a scooped ice cream. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:20 And you're not accepting gelato, which is, as a gelato lover, is devastating. But also your big brands like your Ben and Jerry's, your Movenpick. Yeah. That's not Kiwi. I've had correspondence from the people of Hamilton saying Duck Island should 100% be included. And they said, we can understand Movenpick International Company, Ben and Jerry's American ice cream brand. Duck Island, made in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Oh, yeah. Scooped ice cream. $15 for a scoop. I don't think it's that expensive. I've never been. It's good ice cream. I'm making outrageous claims. Outrageous claims.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Oh, yeah. I mean, it's delicious. I think you should. We haven't done the Waikato, so. Right. I'm going out to bat, guys. I'm going out to bat, guys. I'm going out to bat for them. And the most contentious offerings, the most popular offering from Hawke's Bay is Rush Monroe.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Now, you may have heard that name because Rush Monroe is a little bougie. It's a little on the bougie side of things. It's bouge. However, there's no denying that that is a rolled ice cream. Yeah. That is a rolled ice cream. Yeah, that's delicious. It's not gelato.
Starting point is 00:51:31 It's a New Zealand company, and it's not. You can buy it by the scoop. You can buy it by the scoop. They've got other dessert offerings, and we didn't say we won't be accepting other things that have dessert offerings. Well, Carween, this is a local for you, and you absolutely rave about this place,
Starting point is 00:51:45 don't you? I'm going into bat for Rush Monroe. This receives so many votes. It's got to be on the list. Yeah, over 60 votes. It's got to be on the list. Yeah, I think it's got to be on the list. And big scoops. Yeah, and it's historic. Everyone grew up going there. It's New Zealand's oldest ice cream company.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I feel it would be unpatriotic of us to tell Rush of the Monroe clan that they couldn't partake. Do they do gelato as well? I'm not sure. They might do. It doesn't look like it. They're like a one-stop set of ice cream. They do a sundae.
Starting point is 00:52:16 I think as long as we don't take into account the sundaes or the milkshakes, we want the scoops. Yum. Look at that effort. Yeah, it's delicious. There's a single scoop there. There's a kid my God, yum. We want the scoops. Yum. Look at that effort. Yeah, it's delicious. There's a single scoop there. There's a kiddie cone but they've like piled it high. Okay, well that's going on the list.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Rush Monroe's on the list. On a menu when it puts like V next to like vegetarian or vegan but we put a B for bougie. Yes. Oh yeah, we could do.
Starting point is 00:52:39 So price point because that's one thing I don't know about Rush Monroe's like our price point here. I reckon you're looking 15, 16 upwards of $25. That's not how much ice creams cost. You're like the politician before the election where they ask them what the price of something is and they've got no idea.
Starting point is 00:52:55 No scooped ice cream is $15. Oh, apart from that one in Auckland. And I think it's too bougie for the list. Plus it's gelato. Yeah, that's gelato. Mian. What? Mian?
Starting point is 00:53:09 No, the old one that was always, it used to be on Queen Street and now it's down the bottom. The bougie ice creams, it was always like trying to get in. Giapo!
Starting point is 00:53:18 Oh, get out. Too bougie. Those are so expensive. It was like when we went there with the kids and I was like, you kids want an ice cream and I didn't see the price
Starting point is 00:53:25 and then it was $36 for two ice creams. Wow. Okay, Jesus. We did get the nice ones. Yum, though, yum. It's just like... All right, Rushman Rose can go on but it has to have a clause.
Starting point is 00:53:36 A B for bougie. Okay, B for bougie. What else from the Hawke's Bay? From Hawke's Bay, I tell you, they've got some nice ice cream parlours. It's hot down... It's hot. It's hot. Yeah've got some nice ice cream parlours. It's hot down, it's hot. It's hot.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah, but hit me with your dairy choices. Oh. Who's rocking a good dairy ice cream? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What?
Starting point is 00:53:56 What? What? Okay, lick this is in Hawke's Bay. It's in Napier. Okay, it does ice cream and gelato and sorbet and ice blocks. It can get in the trash. It's not. No,ke's Bay. It's in Napier. Okay, it does ice cream and gelato and sorbet and ice blocks. It can get in the trash.
Starting point is 00:54:08 It's not. No, it's not. We're only doing the ice cream. We'll do the ice creams. It looks pretty good. It looks pretty good. We've got a few votes for that. They make their own ice cream.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Look at this. It's too big. There's gelato. There's gelato. Gelato always looks bougie because it's in the tub and it's all shaped and stuff. It's got to go on the list. Okay, just for the ice creams alone.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Just for the ice creams alone. Now, there is a place called the Hot Chick Cool Cat. Hot Chick Cool Cat in Ahuriri in Napier. It is going on the list because it describes itself as a laid-back, waterfront joint dispensing barbecue chicken, pineapple fritters, and ice creams. Yes. Oh, my God, that sounds like myensing barbecue chicken, pineapple fritters and ice creams. Yes! That sounds like my heaven. That's the only food groups I eat. That's all you need for a healthy food pyramid.
Starting point is 00:54:52 You're on the list, hot chick, cool cat. Hawke's Bay in general, pretty boo. Also the West Shore Dairy. Received votes as well, so they're on the list. They're on the list. They do a roll of ice cream. They do a wordle time, baby. Look, here's their offer in wordle. Australian ice cream. They do a wordle time, baby. Look, here's their offering. That's a... Australian ice cream.

Starting point is 00:58:25 Yeah, that's right. Joseph Parker and Ruby Toohey. I've done a bit of Ruby Toohey Googling. Calm down. Sorry, that noise came out involuntarily. I'm 33 now, and admittedly, my face is changing. And now I get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, so that's kind of accelerated.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Oh, that'll change the old face. The change a bit. Bags under the eyes. Yeah, and like... Heavy eyes. Real heavy eyes, and just... I look weary. A little bit weary.
Starting point is 00:59:05 And then I, when I smile, have a couple of dimples. One's right in the scar on my cheek that I've got. Oh, yeah. That was from an early golfing accident. Early golfing accident. Lydia Coe smashed her in the face. Yeah. And then I got this little one on the side of my cheek.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Smile. Only on one side, though. That dimple's not on the other. Oh, a little bit. A little bit on the side. Not as much. But dimples are cute. Yeah, dimples are cute. Dimples are cute as hell. And then I was like, I've been looking at
Starting point is 00:59:32 my chin recently and was like, it's different. It's always been like when I smile it's had a couple of lumps and bumps. And then Aaron yesterday was like, that's new. And like poked me in the chin. And I was like, it's new. And like poked me in the chin. And I was like, it's confirmed it.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I'm developing a bum chin. I'm developing. Show me the bum. You can't develop a bum chin. I thought you had a bum chin. It's like a dimple. There, that one. It's like a dimple.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Yeah, I can see it. I don't think that's anything to worry about. I think it's a dimple. But it's not like a Ben Affleck. It's like a dimple. Yeah, I can see it. I don't think that's anything to worry about. I think it's a dimple. But it's not like a Ben Affleck. It looks like a bum chin. It's not like a bum chin that people grow a goatee over to hide. I can't have lasered my goatee off. So if it develops into a full bum chin, it's just bum chin.
Starting point is 01:00:20 I think that's getting quite bummy. I was like, what do we do about this? I thought a cleft chin was, oh, cleft chin is the official name, by the way, not bum chin. I think bum chin is the scientific name. I think bum chin is what we've always called it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Are you born with them? Is it? Ancestry.com's got a section on bum chins. Oh. So you can see where you got your bum chin from. The shape of your chin is determined before you're born. When a fetus develops, its jawbone starts growing on both sides of the head and meets in the middle of the chin. People who have a chin cleft, two sides of the lower jaw that don't completely fuse together,
Starting point is 01:00:54 have a little space or a cleft, and that's where you have a little bum chin. I knew your face grows down. Grows down. Yeah. And joins. And joins. And that's why, like, if you've got a bum chin, you join right. You can feel that everybody should be able to feel like there's a little dent in there,
Starting point is 01:01:11 but the size of the dent. That's what I mean, though. My dent is getting dentier. It's getting dentier. I didn't realize this was a thing that was going to happen. I've sort of been going, oh, yeah, that's new. And, yeah, that line's getting more and more permanent. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:24 And then suddenly... Could you Botox it out? I don't know if you could Botox a bum chin. You can get fillers. Can you get fillers? You can get fillers to fill out the bum chin. But what if my chin becomes too prominent? Dermal fillers. What's that guy? Johnny Bravo. Yeah, with a big chin. But it's a slippery slope.
Starting point is 01:01:40 You never see anyone that just gets a couple of fillers and some Botox and then stops and says, that's enough. That's enough. That's enough. Yeah. It's like working on an old house, you know? You pull down one wall and you find a bit of rot and then you're in the ceiling space. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Like Simon Cowell at the moment, his latest photos. Oh, what happened there? Wow. What is happening there? It's too tight. How to correct a prominent cleft chin. One, dermal fillers. Two, fat grafting.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Your own fat can be used as a more permanent... I've got a couple of spots. So you take it from there and... But it may increase the overall chin size. Oh, I didn't know that I had a mid-chin. Go full Johnny Bravo. Three, Botox injections can paralyse the chin muscles to minimise the appearance of the cleft,
Starting point is 01:02:24 but these effects only last a few months. And genioplasty, which is chinoplasty, basically. But you don't want that. I'm going to have to do some research on that. It's not prominent enough. It's not. No, you don't notice. I can hardly notice.
Starting point is 01:02:37 If it gets worse, I promise you I'll tell you. Neither of you look at me in the eye. You're looking me straight in the bum chin right now. I'm still trying to see it. It's not prominent enough. I actually think bum chins are bloody handsome too. I want to be handsome. I want to be hot.
Starting point is 01:02:59 It's time for the impossible phone-in topic. A topic we think is so impossible we're not going to get too many calls, if any. Not many, if any. Now, I mean, this is, you've got to admit, is quite an amusing story to start this. Yeah, the Auckland, University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington
Starting point is 01:03:17 have reported receiving notifications from contract sites showing that students contracted out doing their assignments. So they cheated. They found these websites where, I don't know, you got too much on or you didn't do something. You can go and be like, I need this assignment done. Someone cranks it out, sends you it. Wow. Now, and you pay them for it.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Now, apparently they said, pay us again or we're going to tell the university that you cheated. I mean, that serves you right going to tell the university that you cheated. I mean, that serves you right for cheating in the first place. Yeah. Oh, I know, but that's a dangerous loop. Yeah. Because if you go, okay, well, fine, here's $200 more. And then they keep extorting you.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah, they keep blackmailing you. Oh, my gosh. And then that could work forever, right? Because even if you were, well, let's hope there's no doctors doing it, but if you were a professional, like a lawyer or something that needed the qualification, years down the track, they exposed that you cheated so your qualification is worth zilch. Yeah, like you became a big hot shot lawyer in massive cases and they said, well, actually, I've got.
Starting point is 01:04:21 I wrote your essay on... Law. Law. Yeah. All the essay on. Law. Law. Yeah. Law on the laws. Yeah. And then your stuff, no one's going to hire you because you didn't do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:33 So contract cheating, apparently in Australia, 10% of Australian university students who are using this method to cheat. Get out. So is it just they just get too overworked and they're just like, well, I'll just pay. Yeah. Well, they've paid thousands of dollars for the course and it's all on the line and then they will do their assignments for like $100. Yeah. So they're like, well, I'll just pay the $100.
Starting point is 01:04:54 It was too hard at my drama school. Like I couldn't get someone to come in and be a pancake on the floor for a day. Oh, gosh. Imagine if they'd come in. They would have been double acting because they would have been acting as Hayley as the pancake. As the pancake. It's layered. I would have been acting as Hayley, as the pancake. As the pancake. It's layered. I would have paid out the bloody wazoo for it.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Yes. I think I would have got caught. Definitely. Whereas at mine, you just made it all up and no one really cares. No inject. You made up your entire thesis, didn't you? Correct, I did. Take my qualification away.
Starting point is 01:05:24 And he has a go at me for doing course at Polytech. Oh, don't be embarrassed. You do a beautiful winged liner. Yes. And you do some beautiful highlights. Thank you. Thank you. You did so many skills at course.
Starting point is 01:05:34 But for the impossible phoner, we want to know, has anybody listening now been blackmailed? Like maybe you were one of the people that had, you know, you got an assignment done online and they blackmailed you. Yes. I think maybe we'll park the kind of revenge porn side of things, you know, like there's an old side of blackmailing. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:05:56 That's horrible. We want the funny one where it costs you thousands. Yeah. Yeah, when someone's just pulled one over on you. Or what about, like, family members that blackmail you or friends? Well, you're talking about emotional blackmail. Yeah, they know your deep, dark secrets. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 01:06:11 They know who you've cheated on. They do. And so they blackmail you to get something out of you. Or maybe a workmate blackmails you because they know that you stole that cask of wine that was sitting just outside the door there. I didn't take it. That no one was using. What are you looking at me. I didn't take it. That no one was using. What are you looking at me?
Starting point is 01:06:26 I didn't take it. To be fair, it was just being used as a doorstop. Exactly. It's a nice, heavy 3kg doorstop. It's a beautiful doorstop. So the impossible phoner today, we want you to call us 0800-DARLS-AT-M. You can text 9696. Have you ever been blackmail.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Well, the impossible phone-in topic. A story that came to us this morning. Yeah, news that cheating university students are paying for someone to do their assignments and now having to pay their blackmail updates. Because the people who have contracted them doing their assignments have said, now you owe us more money or we're going to
Starting point is 01:07:04 out you as a cheat. And some people didn't pay and they literally did email the universities. Really? Which is really weird, right? Because they're the ones that enabled the cheating, yet they're coming forward saying, I just wanted to let you know there's cheaters here. Well, this is why I'm flagging because, you know, I'm always a little bit sus about things.
Starting point is 01:07:25 What if it's the universities making this all up? It's a test. To put people off. Because where are the actual students saying, yes, I'm the one being blackmailed? Have any students come forward or is it just the universities to put people off this exact thing? Conspiracy. I like that. I like that a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:39 I like that a lot. They should have done a whip around and got more universities on board though. Yeah, yeah, power in numbers. I mean, you shouldn't cheat. You should do it yourself. Yeah. But we want to know. Or not, if you've got 60 bucks.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Yeah, if you've got a little bit of spare cash, have a sleeper. If you kind of know the answers, you just can't be bothered putting them tangibly. As long as you know them. Yeah, yeah, as long as you promise me you know them. So we want to know the impossible phone-in topic. Have you ever been blackmailed? My children constantly blackmail me for speeding or swearing, is this text message.
Starting point is 01:08:12 And then after I've bought them an ice cream or whatever they wanted to not tell my wife, they usually end up telling her anyway. Yeah, can't be trusted. Just treacherous little bees. Do your kids do that to you? No, not really. I'm telling mum. No, they're not old enough yet not really. I'm telling mum. Nah,
Starting point is 01:08:27 they're not old enough yet, maybe. I'm telling mum. They're not old enough to pull a... I'm telling mum. I'd just really be like, tell her then. I dare you. Pull the bluff. I dare you to tell her. Yeah. See what she says. Somebody messaged and I told my friend at an intermediate that our intermediate art teacher smelt weird and she said, I'm
Starting point is 01:08:44 going to tell on you unless you give me all your Pokemon cards. And I was so scared of getting in trouble, I ended up giving her all my Pokemon cards. It's been 20 years and I'm still fuming about it.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Who is this friend? You need to get them back. So-called friend, yeah. Yeah, what's the... So who cares? The teacher smells weird. The teacher probably got told all the time they smell weird.
Starting point is 01:09:04 You know how brutal kids can be. Yeah, especially if they did smell a bit weird. But our teachers normally do. Oh, they do. It was probably marijuana. It was definitely a combination of marijuana and no deodorant. Yeah, and whatever they were using to wax their dreadlocks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:18 So those things get a little pong pong. A bit mouldy. Somebody asked me when I was working at a daycare, my son was there also, and he broke a window. And the boss of the daycare said, if you stay working for us and keep your son here, we won't make you pay for the window. If you wanted to leave, how much does a window cost?
Starting point is 01:09:35 I'm imagining if he broke it, it was single guys. How big? Yeah. Is it worth? And how long do you have to stay? And were you getting paid to work there? What, and the kid's 18 and he's still at daycare? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:46 This is madness. Yeah, lots of people getting that sort of level blackmail. But no one getting a massive sort of anonymous letter in the mailbox? I once caught my older brother smoking. I blackmailed him saying, buy me an Xbox One. And then he bought an Xbox One. And I thought, oh my gosh, he's bought me an Xbox One. And then he bought an Xbox One and I thought, oh my gosh, he's bought me an Xbox One.
Starting point is 01:10:09 And then on the way into the house with the Xbox One, he said to mum, by the way, I smoke now. And then set up the Xbox One and played it in front of me. And never let me hit a turn. Power play.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Yeah, absolute power play. Power play. Absolute power play. There's no stopping them. All right, bit of blackmailing happening, but nothing on a major scale. Nothing on a major scale. Although, here's the thing, though. If you're going to be blackmailed, it's got to be juicy, right?
Starting point is 01:10:34 So no one's going to call up and say, I was doing this really illegal thing or really immoral thing. Because you have to admit to that in order to explain. Because then you have to admit to that as well. They could have anonymously messaged him. Yeah, that's true. But they didn't. So the Christmas season is approaching and for some of us that means
Starting point is 01:10:56 sitting around a table with family and for some that is a sort of a fancier, a fancier meal. Yes. You know, at Christmas you might get Nan a fancier, a fancier meal. Yes. You know, at Christmas, you might get Nan's plates out, for example. Oh. We've got Nana's plates and Nana's cutlery. Oh, yeah, you get the nice plates out.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Oh, what about that? You've got to polish the silver. Yeah, you've got to polish the silverware with some of the poisonous, and then the next day you're eating using them. I don't know. What's the maths on that? Yeah, I don't know. Well, there is a, I mean, I just cannot let it slip that we're listening to this.
Starting point is 01:11:27 God, I love it. White Lotus. I'm thinking of banning this. You both get so distracted every time this one plays. The last episode of White Lotus is out on Monday, and I cannot wait. I wish I could just sleep till then and not be conscious. Do you know I googled yesterday online how much a night at this hotel they're shooting this TV show is?
Starting point is 01:11:49 Oh, you told me. Like $2,500 to $3,000 a night. Good Lord. But like, let's go. Anyway, so there is an etiquette expert in Britain called Lucy Challenger. And she is the founder and CEO of high-end Mayfair agency Polo & Tweed. Polo & Tweed. Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Which sources employees for uber-wealthy people. Right, like at the White Lotus. Waitstaff, butlers, all that kind of stuff. Right. Like you may find at the White Lotus. You guys didn't tell me there's a chimney in the White Lotus. Waitstaff, butlers, all that kind of stuff. Right. Like you may find at the White Lotus. You guys didn't tell me there's a chimney in the White Lotus. Is there? My friend, Callum just messaged me saying,
Starting point is 01:12:31 I don't want to oversell White Lotus to you, but it does feature a chimney. Yes, there was. There's an old one. Yeah, an old one. I saw it and I was like, is it a Suzuki? Anyway, so she is on TikTok etiquette around food, like this one, for example.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Now, in formal dining in Britain, it's unlikely that you'd be served pizza. But if you were, you would use a knife and fork to eat. No, no, no, no, no. She's got that wrong, hasn't she? Yeah, I got a floppy, floppy pizza last weekend when we were playing D&D. And it was like a long, and it was one of those ones,
Starting point is 01:13:04 you had to fold it, but you had to also fold the tip back into the main part of the pizza. Like that long and floppy, fold it in, then fold it up and no way, knife and fork, what am I? Prince Charles? How embarrassing. How embarrassing. But this is for you,
Starting point is 01:13:19 actually, Vaughn, because I know that you love the humble Christmas mince tart. Huge fan. This is how you eat them. This is how you eat them. One bite. It's got to be a big one. And then the next time, as you're pushing it towards your mouth, you push in the sides that you bit from.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Pinch. And it collapses it, and then you can fit all the rest in your mouth. Two bites tops. Shall we hear how Lucy describes how to eat it? To eat the mince pie, one would pick up a mince pie with the thumb and first finger and lift the mince pie away from the plate. We're acting out. The mince pie is crumbly, so make sure anything that falls from the mince pie falls onto your plate.
Starting point is 01:13:58 I now eat the mince pie in delicate bites, around four to six. Four to six? No, that goes all in the gob at once, right? Oh, I thought we were going to get more technique. She just told us how to pick something up. Oh, she goes on for a while, but honestly, it's not worth listening to when she's four to six. And she's talking about one of the little mini Christmas mince
Starting point is 01:14:16 tarts. You don't nibble those. It's like sushi. But does she nibble around or does she just eat straight across the mince pie in a series of bites? Just bites. I'm the same with sushi. All in the mouth, right? Yeah, and they just deal with it once it's in there.
Starting point is 01:14:30 Yeah, it all goes to pieces. Yeah. She's talking about how to not overindulge this Christmas so the slower you eat as well, the less likely I'd have more Christmas mince pie. Shut up. Sometimes I'm so happy to be trash, eh? Being trash rules. No one has any expectations.
Starting point is 01:14:49 She's trash. We shall now listen to this music for about 20 to 30 seconds. Drop the beat. Oh, no, not yet, not yet. Guys, if you haven't been watching White Learners, you haven't been watching White Lotus, you haven't been watching life. Some people don't get White Lotus. I mean, do they get this jam?
Starting point is 01:15:14 Six, seven, eight. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Silly little poe Silly little poe It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little poe Silly Little Pole today. Do you Google the menu before going to a restaurant? Well, we've let the cat out of the bag. We're going to our Mac. We're going to our Mac...
Starting point is 01:15:46 We're going to be in our MacPak tent tomorrow somewhere in the Garden City. We all know where that is. I know. And we're going out for dinner tonight. And Hayley, straight on, Googling the menu. I'll Google the menu at a fancy place or like a cheap fast food. I cannot go and not know it. Yeah, I love Googling the menu.
Starting point is 01:16:03 But I still get there and then I give the actual menu such a going over once I'm there as well. Because you might have missed it. Yeah. But don't you want to just get there and be excited when you see it? Nah. I want to sit down and they're like, ready? Would you like to start with some drinks? And I'm like, no, let's start with food.
Starting point is 01:16:18 Yeah. And I know what I want to get on the table first. Oh my God, I hate that. I'm like, you just stay here and give me a little bit of time because if you take my drinks and then go away, I'm still hungry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Take it all now. Yeah, like when we go out, like if we go out for brunch afterwards, as soon as they come to the table, we're like, we want this, this, this, and this. Yeah, and then if we get a cinnamon scroll, we're always like, don't save that for pudding.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Just bring it first. Bring it as it's ready. Bring it now. I can see them now just bring it here but most people are googling 91% of people
Starting point is 01:16:49 google the menu before they go I think the only time I google is to know that I'm going to like the restaurant if I don't know it like I don't want to go
Starting point is 01:16:56 somewhere for dinner and not like anything or it not be my type of place yeah Alex says I google it so I know what the menu
Starting point is 01:17:03 items are like and how hungry I want to be. Very good call. Oh, yes. I also look up the Instagram location tag too for photos to see what looks best. Sometimes their photos on their menu don't, you know, as in how it's represented. Same, same, same.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Not for the gram, but I just want to know what's yum and what looks good. This is what people that run Thai food places get right, is a photo of the dish. Yes. We need to do that in all restaurants. It's not classy to have a laminated giant menu with photos. But I get a visual of what I'm going to order. Well, we're going out tonight,
Starting point is 01:17:37 and you've been all over the Instagram. We're going to Fifth Street. I've literally looked at every dish that we're ordering. Which is every dish. Which is every dish. Josh said, Absolutely, I've been terrified of becoming a difficult customer by food service TikTok. I have to know what I'm ordering before
Starting point is 01:17:52 I arrive now. I don't want to hold up anybody. That's good to know though. I bet they appreciate it. Yeah. Tyler says no way. I like the spontaneity of just turning up and deciding what I want when I get there. Why Google it? The point of going out is to try different things that you can't cook at home, says Joel. Just because I can Google it doesn't mean I can cook it at home, Joel.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Presumptuous of you. I get what he's saying, though. Calm down, Joel. Caitlin says, of course I do. What if I haven't rehearsed asking for what I want and panic order something yucky? I love she's going a step further. She's doing some rehearsals. That's the worst, though, when you panic order. I love she's going a step further. She's doing some rehearsals. That's the worst though.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Can I have, I might try there. I'll just, warm up. I would like the cob loaf. I'll get the cold oyster soup. No. No.
Starting point is 01:18:41 I've stuffed up there. I need to decide if I'm actually going or if I'll be sick based purely on menu and pricing so that's Courtney's sick on pricing
Starting point is 01:18:50 and menu yeah yeah either or I don't but my wife does all the time tells me what I would like and then I usually
Starting point is 01:18:56 order it on my own person I really am says Earl sounds to me like an extension of your wife so there you go yeah
Starting point is 01:19:03 we're a big bunch of Googlers you've got to Google there you go. Yeah, we're a big bunch of Googlers. You've got to Google before you go. See ya, see ya later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there. That's copyrighted. Suzy Keisha's a very good friend of mine. She's already sued me twice,
Starting point is 01:19:14 so if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action, that would be great. Tell her I'll review her five stars if she does the same for this podcast. And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars. Yeah. If she does the same for this podcast. Yeah. And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
