The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee. Available now at Macca's. We should probably check actually if Macca's still want to run with this. Because it's getting a little nippier, isn't it?

Yeah, of course it is. What do you think, Macca's might be moving on to the hot choccies? They might in here to the hot choccies or... An oaty chai latte. Yeah, of course it is. What do you think, Mack? They might be moving on to the hot choccies. They might be moving on to the hot choccies. An oaty chai latte. Yeah, something like that. I will still have an iced coffee in winter though. Oh, same. I love it. It's yum, but it's like

an ice cream in winter. Just because it's cold, it doesn't mean you want cold food. Yeah, absolutely. Now, we have, but I don't loathe to say this because this is why they send us these things. We've been sent a product. Eater Crunches. They're like shapes. They're moving into the shapes territory.

I'm going to hoon a box of those as soon as we are. I reckon it'll be an absolute mouth dehydrator. It'll be pasty. You've got to have a couple of beers with those. Not big on any kind of crackers, really. I'm happy to have a couple of beers to make them more palatable, to be fair. I'll push it down. But they added a jar of Marmite because they're Marmite-flavored.

They're Marmite and cheese. Yeast spread. And I just said, in passing, what do you think Marmite – so say, for example, you know if you're having scrambled eggs on toast, and I'm about to be again laughed at. I said, imagine making your toast and you butter it. You soak it in butter. Imagine.

And then you put a slither of marmite on or Vegemite. Yeah, yeah. Or Vegemite. And then you put your scrambled eggs on. And I was like, what would that be like? It would be like what I eat a lot of the time. Yeah. And we've done it for years.

I've never, ever done it. So you just whack an egg on a dry bit of toast. Not at the time. Yeah, we were both just like... And have done for years. I've never, ever done it. What are you... So you just whack an egg on a dry bit of toast? I might do some avo or I do mushrooms, big portobello mushrooms, maybe some spinach. But you don't just have a spread. If I'm not doing fancy breakfast, like a smashed avo or mushroom or beans or whatever, it's marmite. You see, I've never done it. That's what I'm doing.

Vegemite for me. I'm a Vegemite guy too. I'm a Vegemite guy too. I'm a Vegemite. Good to have you on the team. Explains a lot. But yeah, I'll always look to add flavor where I can. Yeah. It's a salty, yeasty burst of flavor.

It makes the eggs pop. Umami. A hummus on toast with scrambled eggs or like pesto is good. Sure, but you're still going to have Marmite underneath. Yeah, see, I didn't even, I never thought about it. You're going to have Marmite and hummus and eggs. You're going to have marmite in anything. It's just saltiness.

Yeah. If you do like bread, butter, marmite, smashed avocado, a little bit of chilli flake and egg on top. Yes, chilli flake. Let's squeeze a lemon. I'll put the chilli flake on top of the eggs. Oh, yeah, the chilli flakes just have to be present. I like them to be seen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. As a constant reminder. This is going to be a little bit spicy for us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because otherwise you're eating and you're like, where's that come from? Yeah, good stuff. Momentarily forget your old friend chilli flakes.

So is this lunch for you, you reckon? Eggs on toast with Vegemite? Oh my God, Eve, and think about that for lunch. It could be yours in hours. Great idea. Great idea. Well, tell us how you get on with this new crazy. Look at the smile on your face.

Christ, you've had an exciting week, haven't you? I know, I have, yeah. We're on Wednesday and he's absolutely jazzed about a yeasty spread underneath the eggs. My God. Play ZN's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Three minutes past six. Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. There's a lot happening under this desk right now. Oh, I've got a tangled cord. I'm also trying to Google a biscuit. No, I'm electrocuting myself. Oh, right.

Your side of the desk. What is Dr. Ho's vibrating shock pads? Are they the Dr. Ho's ones? No, I went off brand. Do you control it on an app? Yeah, you control it on an app. Fun. I've had a little bit of nervy pain in my leg for honestly a month, which is too long. Right.

So that's stuck on your leg. So it's stuck on my leg, little electric things. I'm on need. I can crank it up to three and just feel a little. Is it electric shocks? Yeah. It's sending electric currents. And my muscle's going.

You can do need, press, squeeze, settings like yeah yeah you can do need press squeeze stroke and then you can go to like physio you can do acupuncture cupping and it kind of

I think it's 10. Can I have a look at the app? Oh, no way. It is. I'm on level three. Have you ever put them on your face? No, no, don't do that. Is that what we put on our bellies to simulate? I mean, I say loosely simulate pregnancy.

It was something like that. Like it was an electrical current thing. Yeah. It's really good. It feels really nice. If you put them on your shoulders, it feels good. Oh, yeah. Put them on your biceps after arms day, do you know what I mean?

This is what I need. I got the massage guns using the massage gun last night. Oh, yeah. Well, once I'm done with this, I'll crank you up to level four and we'll put them on. Only if I get to control the app. Always. So, you know, you can get to... Yeah, okay.

Or, like, you can get... What? You can get something like this for your partner you know you can get to... Yeah. What? Or like you can get... What? You can get something like this for your partner and then you control the app. Oh, yeah. And then you control the app. I don't. You were about to tell us about some injury

you can sustain from overdoing it on this thing. Oh, no, no, no. You know you can get... Vibrata chocoratas. Oh, my God. I'm getting vibrata chocoratas in my left thigh right now. You're doing vibrata chocoratas. Coming up on the show, the top six is soon.

We've made washers unfriendly-west. Oh. Washer have said we're being mean to them in the plague round. I think they're quite unfriendly, to be fair. I don't know what we've done, apart from agree that what they're doing's not good. Well, yeah, and we've put in some new sanctions, haven't we, in passing that law? Well, we're on their unfriend list, which is not rude. Which, I mean, is just like one step away from their nuclear bombing list.

I was going to say, how official is this unfriendly list? Are we in range? Are we in range? No, surely. We're miles away. This one blows my mind. We can send a rocket into space, but we can't get a rocket with a bomb on it to the other side of the world. Surely we can get a rocket. Well, they can from a submarine.

They can. Everybody who was on watch for submarines now. Yep, okay. If you're out fishing today, just keep an eye out for any... Subs. Not spherical. Cylindrical. Cylindrical.

There he is with his shape knowledge. There he is. With his big phallic shape knowledge. If you see any cylindrical submerged items, maybe just heads up the army. Right. So the top six today dealing with the fact that we're on the unfriendly list. Yeah. The top six reasons we're actually like real friendly.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Next on the show though. There's a man in the UK who at the age of 52 has had a very strange experience. Something that typically happens in our teenage years. This story is mad.

So there was a man in the UK who in 2014, his name is Andrew Smith, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Oh, wow. Yeah, he had a small tumour growing on his pituitary gland, which is in charge of many functions, including regulating growth. So at the age of 52 in 2014, he had a growth spurt.

So he was six foot five already, a very tall man. Like you do when you're like 13, 14, 15. Yeah, do you remember? Like it would hurt? You were growing so fast? And your mum would say, I'm not buying you these nice shoes because you won't fit them in a month. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely not spending any money on clothing. So he was already

six foot five, very tall man. He had size 11 feet. Yeah. Which in the UK is like a 12, I think. A 12, Yeah it is This tumour on the pituitary gland Shot him up to 7 foot 6 And a foot size of 15 Which would be a 16

American Wow Isn't that crazy I mean Isn't it weird Tumour bad enough Like side effect that literally will never go away. Yeah.

So it's pressing on the brain. It's pressing on the brain on a particular small gland that is in charge of this. And because it was getting pushed in a certain way, it went, all right. Grow. Let's grow. Like it does when you're a teenager.

Has he stopped? He's stopped now. So they've removed the tumour. He's stopped now. So they've removed the tumour? He's stopped now. The tumour's gone. He's alive and well, which is why this article is now. He's now seven foot something. Yeah.

I mean, it's obviously been very difficult because his whole life had to adjust. So say you were like on track to be small. Yeah. And you came from a long line of littlies. Yeah. And you wanted to be bigger. Could they stimulate this gland? Give it a push.

And continue to stimulate it at the end of your puberty, your growth, and your teens. I don't know. Not if you had dwarfism or something that meant. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. I didn't mean that. I just meant shorter than average Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that. I just meant short, like shorter than average people.

Yeah, right. Maybe they could like drill a hole, put like a cap on it. Some sort of pressure on it. And then you could just put your finger in and just poke it every like the night before bed. And then when you get to like six foot two, you're like, I feel good here.

Fill it in. I feel good here. Fill in the hole. Fill in the hole. Okay, question. Where would you stop? Because you're six foot one, Vaughn. Six foot two.

Six foot two. I reckon I'd go. You always want a bit more than what you got. I reckon I'd go six foot four and be done. See, I couldn't imagine being any taller or shorter. I don't know if I'd like being. But you're not short men, I think. Yeah, I wouldn't want to be taller though.

Why would you want to be taller? Oh, no. A little bit. Six foot four is like a good number No, I don't know No, I don't think so I mean, Aaron's six foot six Slightly too tall

Slightly too tall Ducking through doorways Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm not saying he's too tall He carries it really well But it is that inconvenient height of like doors and Jeans, you know, you've got to get special jeans Jared, little shorty Jared

Producer Jared How tall are you? What? Five? He's wearing his minion hoodie today. Yeah, little one. I think I'm about 5'7", maybe. Right.

And if you could pick a height, what height would you be? Oh, I have dreamt about the hefty lofty lights. Lofty heights. The lofty lights. Yeah, 5'9". You'd only go to 5'9". I'd go to 5'9". I could reach on top of the fridge. What do you mean? Inside the top of the fridge?

No, like the little bit on the top. There's a few cupboards in our kitchen that I have to sit on the counter to reach. Less. I think I would have stopped a few inches ago. You reverse. I'm 5'11 and I

was always, I literally used to get called Big Hayley. Was there a Little Hayley? There was a Little Hayley. The other Hayley who went to high school with me was particularly short. She was like Little Hayley but they just called her Hayley. Oh, right. So the other Hayley who went to high school with me was like particularly short. Right. So she was just,

she was like little Hayley but they just called her Hayley. Yeah. And I just was big Hayley. And I think it just always sort of sat with me. I was like, I don't want to be big Hayley.

I mean, they could have said tall Hayley. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah. They chose the word big. I'd do a five, nine.

I don't mind being tall. You'd do a 5'9". You'd go shorter. What are you, 5'11"? 5'11". Or 5'10", 3 quarters. Someone's rounding up. Okay, don't round up.

If you're asking. And if you're a dude, you'd definitely say 6'1". Yeah, absolutely. Round it up. Yeah. All right. 14 past 6. Next on the show, we go to Japan.

Vaughan, you were all over this story. Yeah. So I'm stoked to be bringing you our first edition of Demon News. Hooray, demons! Just what we need with all the good news going around. Let's just get all the bad stuff out of the way. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Demon News.

Demon News. Demon News. Demon News. Demon News could be a really great segment. This is certainly waking people up, isn't it? Demon News. Oh, I feel 13 again. This is not... Did you used to listen to this music?

Dude, Cradle of Filth was my jam. Cradle of Filth was even too much for my mates that were into it. They were like, to this music? Dude, Cradle of Filth was my jam. Cradle of Filth was even too much for my mates that were into it. They were like we drew the line just before Cradle of Filth. Can you imagine my poor parents? Like I went from being this little teeny bop, I went to high school and I was like, Zota! They were like, whoa!

You were drawing pentagrams on the floor and like the blood of a seagull. Yeah, I used to draw them on the walls. You actually drew pentagrams. Oh, my God. I grew up in renovations, and so before my room would get done, we were allowed to do whatever we want.

I said to Mum, I was like, can I draw on the walls? She was like, yeah, and she came in and there was just pentagrams everywhere. Satan's sitting on your bed. He's like, hello, I was just summoned. Yeah. Well, this demon news is from Japan. A huge Japanese boulder

that according to Japanese superstition is containing powerful demon and has imprisoned that demon for a thousand years. Right. Has cracked in half. Oh, not now, world. Not now. Yeah. Yeah, Shesho Sheki, known as the Killing Stone, has held a female demon.

Okay. The worst kind of demon. Did this happen on International Women's Day? Yesterday. Actually, you know what? It might have. She was breaking free. She wants equality. If male demons are out there walking the earth,

she will not be silenced no longer. Yeah. So the stone's a transformed dead body of a beautiful woman who was found out to be a nine-tailed fox and was planning and plotting to kill Emperor Kone and claim the throne. She was slain by a warrior and the corpse became the rock. How did it become the rock?

Did they melt it on her? It was about a nine-tailed fox. I don't think you can move it. Too caught up on the factual details. Hang on, you've missed quite a few important details. It was a woman. Ah! It's a man out there!

Jesus! Woo! I thought I saw a ghost. Don't do that! It's demon news. Someone said I was ghosting demons and making fun of superstition, and then the caretaker walked past outside the window, except he's not wearing his usual high-vis shirt,

and I've just a little bit of wheeze and I put a bootgum out. Oh, no. Scared myself. So then a Buddhist monk exercised the rock. Okay. Not like cardio. Like did burpees on it. Yeah, Pilates.

If it's a woman, you know, she wants to be lifting. Lightweights. And then it was discovered that the rock had split in two, like totally split and the top had split in two like totally split and the top had slidden off right now scientists

which of which Japan have a lot yeah have said that's just natural weathering and age and the type of rock yeah

and you know temperature fluctuations hot cold hot cold moisture porousness it's gonna it was gonna crack

yeah but people are like everybody keep your eyes out for an evil nine-tailed fox demoness called Tamano Nume. Don't say her name. I have summoned you! I have summoned you, Tamano!

Great. Just what we need while the world's on the brink of World War III. I know. And year two of our pandemic, year three. Yeah. I'm going to summon the nine-tailed fox demon. Hayley's going to summon Satan. You better get a demon ready because demon news is about to come.

I want a fabulous demon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like a fun one that we can drink with. Who's just like, hi. But you never know when that demon's going to turn and become way too much to handle. Yeah.

Maybe about two bottles of Pinot Gris in. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You never know when that demon's going to turn and become way too much to handle. Maybe about two bottles of Pinot Gris and... Yeah. Yeah. All right, next on the show, more good news with the top six. We've been added to Russia's not friendly list. Yeah, probably because we keep summoning demons. Yeah, maybe. Oopsie daisy.

From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Bad news. Bad news, guys. We're on Russia's unfriendly list. Yeah. Jeepers. God, I was watching some of the news footage out of Ukraine yesterday

and those people trying to flee and bombs going off. Oh, my God. It's horrible. It's unreal. How did we manage to get on this list? I mean, we're known for being friendly. Well, we've brought in sanctions, haven't we? Yeah.

Yeah, which they deem unfriendly. Which is absolutely rightly so, fair enough. New Zealand, Australia, the EU states, the UK, the US, Canada, Ukraine, who they've just like slipped right in the middle there. They're like a lube at the supermarket. They're a bit unfriendly. Singapore, Japan Japan and Taiwan. The US as well just moments ago announcing

they're banning Russian oil. Gosh. It's, yeah, I don't know where this is going to end. The Russian currency has dropped to record lows in recent days due to all the sanctions that have been put in place. A presidential decree on March 5th that allows the Russian government, companies and its citizens

to temporarily pay foreign currency debts to those on the list in rubles. But the rubles is worth nothing. Yeah, it's worth like, not even a penny, US. It's got to be horrendous for Ukraine. But also like Russians that want no part of this. And there are lots of them

and every time they protest they just get absolutely arrested and beaten. It's Putin's war. Yeah, exactly. Most of the Russian people, I mean a lot of the soldiers they're talking to

don't even know why they're there. Don't want to be there. Oh, I know. So sad. Really is. So we're on the unfriendly list and I've got the top six reasons we're actually really friendly.

Yeah. Number six, we invited Russia to our birthday party, even though Russia didn't invite us to theirs last year. Yeah. Friendly. It's so friendly. It's so friendly. Did a gift bag and everything.

Goodie bag. Yeah, our mum was like, you don't have to. And we're like, no, I don't want them left out. You know, that's just how we are. Don't want them to be the only ones. Yeah, because everyone's going to go to school and talk about how cool the party was. Russia will be sad. I don't want Russia to be sad.

Number five on the list of the top six reasons we're actually really friendly. When everyone was teasing Russia's mum for having a stank car, a Lada, we told them to lay off. Yeah. We're like, give them a break. We're friendly. Yeah, that's a car at least. Yeah.

I guess we're just friendly like that. We're just nice. We're just good people. We don't want to see anybody made fun of for driving a Lada. Number four on the list, the top six reasons we're actually really friendly. We wrote Russia a compliment on their cool drawings and put it in the anonymous compliment box that the teacher reads out at the end of the week. An anonymous?

There was nothing in it for us. Exactly. It wasn't like, it was selfless. Yeah. We weren't doing it. Yeah. You know, they just said, here, someone likes Rush's drawing. Everybody looked at us.

Yeah. Because of the birthday party thing and the time we said, hey, lay off the larder bashing. Maybe we should have a compliments box here, an anonymous compliments box. I know you're writing though, Vaughn. You know I love compliments. No, so I went out and I said to the Gen Zs out there, don't look at them. They can't do eye contact.

You could look at them and they wouldn't know. They won't look you in the eye. See, Carlin won't look. They're not a face-to-face generation. And I said, what's it called where you would, like, write an anonymous compliment and you'd put it and the teacher would read it out at the end of the week? They said, Ask FM.

What? What is that? What is Ask FM? Hold on. It's just like the OG anonymous question box. But that was anonymous questions, right? What was? Because see me remember this social media.

You would say, I'm on Ask FM and people would be like. But they couldn't work out. You just would never know who asked the question. Yeah, yeah. It was an anonymous question. Yeah. It was the epicentre of bullying at St John's Primary School. I bet.

It sounds horrendous. We didn't have this. How were they bullying? Because people would just like anonymously say really mean stuff to you after you were like, hee hee, ask me anything. Ask me anything. Yeah, it was a real problem. This isn't a roast.

This isn't a roast me. No. Roast me on Reddit. Are they like, do you wipe your bum because you smell like poo-poo's? Pretty much, yeah. That was good bullying. Yeah. That was good.

That was some good bullying. Thank you. I wasn't a bully when I was young. I'm thinking about getting into it as an adult. Okay, right. Your big dingoes. There's quite a few places you could do it. Comment sections on news articles.

Yeah, I've been getting into stuff. Oh, yeah. Are you punching down? Punching right down. Yeah, good. That's the easy one, I find. Punching down is much easier than actually having an intelligent thought. Oh, no, no.

It's opinionless. And punching up at the people causing it. Cool. Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. You sally brat. Factless opinion. Yeah, that's cool, man.

Number three on the list of the top six reasons we're actually really friendly and don't belong on Russia's unfriendly country list. We didn't laugh when Russia did a fart when we were all sitting on the lino. Like, we really had to stop ourselves. You know when Russia does? I feel so triggered by that. Well, you're the kid. Did you ever wet your pants on the mat?

Dude, I wet my pants, like, nearly every day. I mean, my kidney. Yeah, I, you're the kid. Did you ever wet your pants on the mat? Dude, I wet my pants like nearly every day. My kidney. Yeah, I know you had kidney problems. Oh, my kidney. I thought that was a sleep. I thought that was just a sleeping thing. No, no, no, no. I wet my pants all day, all day. How, until how old? 14? Nine. Oh, nine. Oh, nine. I remember being in a holiday program and we're sitting

there and they were telling us what we're going to do for the day and me just going, uh-oh. And weeing and then everyone would be like, okay, go grab your bags, we're going to get on the bus. And I just sat there. Sat in your own purse. Sat in my own weave. Was it a little bit or just the whole thing once it started, it wouldn't stop?

Emptied. Emptied the bladder. Oh my God. I had no control over it. I was that kid. Did you think about like nappies? Yeah, we did like, what's those? Depends?

Like pull-ups. Oh, yeah, yeah. When I was like, that's those? Depends. Like pull-ups. Oh, yeah, yeah. When I was like, that young girl is so bad. And again, this is a sign of a good friend. If I would wet my pants at school, my best friend would forcibly wet her pants. That is amazing.

I don't think there's a... So that we were in it together. My kids, I'd do that for my kids. I wouldn't do it for my wife. There's only two people on this entire earth I'd wet my pants for and they're my daughters. I couldn't do it for Fletch. Have you pissed yourself? You're on your own.

But farting, eh? Farting in class. You're on a liner. It slaps. It does. Number two on the list. We're actually really friendly and don't belong on Russia's

unfriendly countries list. We let Russia have a go on our bike to see what it's like riding a bike with gears. Whoa. We're not. We're so friendly. I know we're just really. And number one on the list of the top six reasons you're actually really friendly and don't belong on Russia's unfriendly country list. When Russia had pickled fish

sandwiches and a cold potato for lunch, we let them have some of our ham and cheese and a little bit of our lolly cake. Pickled fish. I looked up. I lookedled fish. I looked up. I looked it up. I looked up like, what does a Russian person have for lunch? Potato.

And someone was like, there's this beautiful pickled fish paste that we have in sandwiches. Wow. And I smelt it. In my mind, I smelt what that would smell like. We don't belong on that list. We're really friendly. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

How good's a biscuit, eh? How good's a biscuit? Biscuits are great. You can't beat a biscuit. You can't beat. Biscuit or a slice, which would you rank higher? I love both. I know slices are great, but a biscuit's convenience.

And less. You know, like a slice, after a slice, you can often be like, poof. You couldn't have another one. No, you could have like 50 biscuits. You'd probably go for another biscuit. Yeah. Always. And biscuits,

the range of biscuits. You've got to appreciate a biscuit's range. There's a biscuit for every mood. There is. There's a biscuit for every person. Yeah. There's not a lot of biscuits I don't like, to be fair.

Totally. Maybe those ones that have like the, like Christmas mints in them. You know, like the fruity paste. Yeah, tart. That's a tart. Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about though?

That pastry that's real flat with the raisiny stuff in the middle. Yeah, raisin stuff. I love them. What are they? Sultana pasties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sort of guy. Sultana pasties.

And they used to be like a little finger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that little finger that had like an apricot filling in it? Or you could go for like a raisiny. Those are... Real old school. Oh, man, those are my nana's biscuits of choice. She always had a...

Yeah, real nannery. Real nannery. Real great biscuit, that. Well, this morning... Has there ever been a person that doesn't like a biscuit? They've never found a biscuit for them? Well, maybe. I just don't think they've looked hard.

It's rare. It'd be very rare. An unwell person. Maybe people that don't like sweet. You know, people that... I don't like sweet. Yeah,, people that don't like sweet. Yeah, but you could get a plain biscuit. You could get a spicy or a plain or even a...

Yeah, a ginger nut. A ginger nut. Yeah. I mean, I would even put shortbread in the biscuit family. More salty, buttery than sugary. Well, this morning, producer Jared broke the news to us that he's rediscovered a biscuit. Yeah.

And this got us quite excited, didn't it? What biscuit was it? Wait, before that, how did you rediscover this biscuit?. Yeah. And this got us quite excited, didn't it? What biscuit was it? Wait, before that, how did you rediscover this biscuit? Was it on special? You saw it at the supermarket, you were like, taken back to your childhood, you're like, I must have a pack of these.

Was every other biscuit on the supermarket shelf gone and the shelves were empty and these were all that was left? No, they were just two for five. Yeah, okay. Two for five? $2.50 a pack? That's the weird thing about it. A broccoli will cost you $1,000 at the moment,

but a pack of biscuits is staying steady at about $2.50 a pack. And the process to make this biscuit, it's like a factory. It's a factory. Multiple ingredients. Broccoli's like, broccoli. Anyway. Yes.

What biscuit? The humble Wheaton. Oof, oof, oof, oof. Chocolate Wheaton. Yeah, chocolate. Like one side's chocolate, the other half is Wheaton. That's a good biscuit. We had a lot of these growing up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was a people pleaser. Yeah, always in the pantry. And not expensive. Also has an angle of health because it's very fibre. Yeah, fibre is... I mean, health in quotes. Oh, in like five quotes. Yeah.

Was a Wheaton just the other company's digestive? Yeah. Chock-dipped. But digestives were bigger, right? They had a wider girth. They were girthier. Digestives have the larger circumference. Yes, but thinner.

But a Wheaton is just thicker. Is it? But it's less circumference. Less circumference, but I feel like there's more mass due to... Let me get eyes on this. Yeah, right. Yeah, I got eyes on a pack here. Griffins, I believe.

Griffins? Yep, Griffins Wheaton. You know your biscuit brands. I do, yeah. You know an Arnott's from a Griffins. I do. I studied. Oh, yeah, milk chocolate Wheaton.

Yeah, fat boy. You did your biscuit apprenticeship under the Shrewsbury beer, is that correct? I did. Yeah, correct. Which is why I don't like Shrewsbury's. Whereas I dropped out quick, but I did mine under the Arnott's Parrot. Oh, right.

I'm a lot younger. I studied under the Tiny Teddy. Ah! Small but, you know, don't let the size. As you get down on your knees to hear him speak. Yeah, what was that little boy? I would have carried him around on my shoulder. I've got to say, you've got a bargain, mate.

I'm looking online. The first, I just hit a website, $3.84 per pack. Oh, wow. And you're hitting $2.50. Yeah, we were at a yellow supermarket and it was... What on earth could it be? Four square. Yeah.

So I grabbed the Wheatons The Middy grabbed The chocolate Thins Oh yum Which is a terrible decision Jaffa or plain? Plain No Thins are good But there are so many

Other biscuits You could be grabbing Yeah and with a Thin You have to have three at once To feel like you're actually Biting through a Bicky Yum A Wheaton

And so you bit into the Wheaton I've grown Since the last time I've had a Wheaton And now I can put A whole Wheaton. I've grown since the last time I've had a Wheaton and now I can put a whole Wheaton in my mouth at once. I bet you can. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. See, I don't think you could do that with a digestive because it's a bigger disc.

I don't think, I've had a chocolate Wheaton forever. But what about in a sampler? Yeah, maybe the last time there was a sampler box somewhere. Because the sampler always gets opened in summer and it's always a soft biscuit when you get to the Wheaton. Sometimes you'll pick it up from a corner and it will lose its integrity midway you'll have a snapped wheat

Yeah, I was just looking at the nutritional value, of which I'm not expecting there to be much No, but I feel like because it's a wheat, we think digestives we think fibrous nice solid poopies the next day, 0.6 grams of fibre, zero fibre nothing, not even a registerable fibre nice solid poopies the next day 0.6 grams of fibre Zero fibre

Not even a registerable fibre Zero Oh dear So it is just a chalky bicky How many of those two packs are left? None You sit down, you're like nostalgia you open the pack, how many of the

first pack do you eat in one sitting? So the first pack came with like you know they've got chambers in the packet so I ate three of the first pack do you eat in one sitting? So the first pack came with like, you know, they've got chambers in the packet. So I ate three of the four chambers in that one sitting. Wow, so three quarters of the pack. Yeah. And then, oh man, my bathroom break. Yeah. Right.

So despite there being 0.06. It was a placebo effect. Yeah. That's all you need. Wow. I need some Wheatons. Producer Jared in the Chamber of Wheatons. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. So the region of Lazio in Italy, which includes Rome. Take me there now, please. I could see myself sitting down in Italy Is that where Rome is? No, it's central Central on the right It's in the armpit, isn't it?

Yeah It's right Lazio, hang on Downsie bottom, you're thinking of the Sicily I don't know what this is I don't know what this accent is Well, it's loosely Italian It's a little bit Italiano.

Aye. Yeah, yeah, kind of bottom, bottom centre. Right. Centre bot. Centre bot. Yeah. Okay.

Downstage centre. Well, it's a beautiful region and one that was very popular for couples to head to and wed. Okay. In Italy. Romance.

This is like your dream wedding, isn't it? Getting married in Italy. It is. It really is. And is that because you just fly there and there's very few people and it actually in the end probably works out cheaper and easier?

Yeah, you get a holiday and a wedding in one rather than just a day. And also I've got too many friends. So if I go far away... Oh, that must be so hard. Honestly, it's excruciating. Yeah. What a day. And also I've got too many friends. So if I go far away. That must be so hard. Honestly, it's excruciating. Yeah. If I go far away enough, I don't have to invite anyone.

I'm just looking up Italian regional wedding menus. Oh. Tonight on the menu. Yeah. We have Italian mini meatballs. The mini meatballs. With handmade and semi-dini. Domato sauce.

Domato. We've got the caprese crostini. This is the tomato prosciutto with a fresh mozzarella. Sad parmesan risotto cakes. You're going to need bibs. Put the napkins in because that's just meatballs all over your

wedding dress. That sounds amazing. For entree, classic chicken masala. Breaded chicken breast with mushrooms and masala sauce. Beautiful. This is what I want. Maybe not dripping down my white wedding gown. Right. But a very popular place for weddings.

But of course, since the pandemic, those numbers have absolutely dropped. And that's one of their biggest industries is catering for weddings. So they have started a campaign that put 10 million euro into this, sort of their tourism board. Yeah. And it's called Enlatio with Love. And you can apply to get married in the Latio region and they will give you the equivalent of just over 3,000 New Zealand dollars,

which goes a long way. Goes a long way if you're smart, to get married in this region. So basically they'll give you a little bit of money and you'll hopefully go there and spend a lot more. Spend more money. Wow. Little Kickstarter.

That's not a bad campaign. I would love to do this. Lazio. Yeah, so that is Rome. Yeah, so you're just flying to Rome. Yeah, I'm just going to check actually how close it is to my parents' apartment because of course they have an apartment in Italy. Of course they do.

There's been a purchase in the producers' booth. There's been a purchase. This comes hours after we hear Cohen at the social media desk got $9 in her bank account till payday. So I was thinking, what could this purchase possibly have been for under $9? Yeah. You'd hope it would be food to get through the rest of the week.

Some sort of basic survival situation, yes. How are we for food, though, for the rest of the week? Do you have enough in the pantry and the fridge? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, good. Okay, good, good. Pre-planned that much? Yes.

So when you, looking at that $9 and it was staring you hard in the face, I love that we've just revealed your bank balance. What did you think you wanted to spend it on? You know, I was like, maybe this will be a couple hot chocolates every morning. Oh, treat yourself. During work.

But my flatmate had a different idea as we were perusing Marketplace on Facebook, as we do. Why are you shopping? I don't go near Marketplace. I'm always like, I want that. I want that. I want that. You click on a couple and then Marketplace

then sends you notifications of, hey, that thing you looked at. Here's another one. Here's another one. But then you've had bad, you've gone around to people's places and you've had bad experiences. Yeah, sure.

Terrible place. Well, it's a hobby of ours to just browse. You never know what you're going to find. Do you do it by proximity, but not specifically like a certain category of thing to buy? Just what's near? Yeah, just what's near. Okay, cool.

Cool, cool, cool. Hit me with something random, you know. Oh, really? You don't even look for a specific thing. You're just going, who's selling what's near me? What's recently listed. Yeah. Recently listed near me.

And you know what? It worked out because we found ourselves some $15 Tamagotchis. Oh, I used to love a Tamagotchi. They got banned at my school because they kept on beeping and everyone was like, I got a Fema Tamagotchis. Oh, I used to love a Tamagotchi. They got banned at my school because they kept on beeping and everyone was like, I've got to feed my Tamagotchi. In the middle of maths and the teacher's like, it did. I was going to die.

Feed it. Hurry up and get it fed. Yeah. But wait a minute. This is exactly what we wanted. We wanted this experience again. $15. You've got $9.

We've got a $6 shortfall here. Yeah, but that's what savings are for. No, it's not. Oh, my God. Savings are for things like your future or emergencies. Yeah, my future raising my Tamagotchi child. So you put a spoon. You've got houseplants, which are just like living Tamagotchis

that actually give you oxygen. Yeah, but they're not going to beep at me and be like, play a game with me. No, they'll just get all droopy and crusty. Is there not a Tamagotchi app on a phone or something similar? There is. It's not as good. It's not as bad. You can't keep it on a keychain. Yeah, exactly.

And a little reset when you kill it and it flies off to heaven. They're like, oh, I get a pin. So, I can't see it being adorned upon your key ring or anything here. Also, we haven't addressed the $6 shortfall. From your savings, spoon into checking. Just dipped over.

Yeah, okay, a little dip dip. Yeah, so we got duped a little bit. Interesting. Tell me more. As we turned up, so we bank transferred. Now, we don't usually do this. Boy, you're a man. We don't usually do this,

but we couldn't be bothered going to get cash out. Fair enough. Fair enough. What is cash? And so when we got to the house, they were like, oh, we'll leave it on the doorstep.

Immediately, I saw that they were in little plastic bags and as in like, you know, the ones with the little seal, whatever. Like you get lollies in.

Oh, you're like a doll of this. At the dairy, yeah. Yeah, so not authentic. Okay. We get to the car. I rip the little tag out the back so the battery starts. Immediately doesn't work. No.

So then I message them and I say, hey, mine's not working. They say, come back, we'll give you another one. When I got home last night, after playing with it for an hour, I went out, came home, it's just not working. It's dead. No. No, you laugh. You're supposed to be supporting her.

Your last coin spent on an absolute piece of trash. Oh, not her last coin. And some. And some. And some. I have savings. This is a prime example of an adult decision. Thank you. And I think we just open up the lines and we hear from other people

who have recently made adult decisions. Yeah. The most adult decision you've made lately. Did you take your remaining $9 and $6 from your savings to buy a $15 Huckery Tamagotchi? Did it actually say Tamagotchi on it or was it like a Tumaguchu? No, it does actually say Tamagotchi, but it's not. Have you got a battery issue?

Have you sorted that out? You may be just needing a new battery. Yeah, but batteries are going to be more than $15, right? Oh, yeah. No, no, they're not that much, but you will have to transfer from savings. That, or you've got to steer it a blank term and go to your payday.

You've dug a hole here, you might as well lean in. Right, so I guess are you looking for adult decisions people have made that obviously aren't... Oh, well I was dripping with sarcasm when I said your big adult decisions later. Yeah. But maybe you had to prioritise your spending and you mis-prioritised it. Like buying a Tamagotchi instead of food.

Yeah. When you're a student, your student loan would come and you'd be like, all right, cigarettes? Delicious nicotine. Maybe a goon of Kristoff. And then I'll pay my rent. Yeah. All right, well then I'll pay my rent Yeah Alright well

I'll wait a hundred dollars Where did Flatman Wensu Bought a ninja He's like Check out this cool ninja sword I found I was like You found it

He's like I purchased that I was like Jesus Where did you even Purchase that from And he's like Oh that shop down the road

That sells all that Cool Japanese stuff Oh there's like Karate stores Yeah And then he's like By the way I can't pay rent

I'm eight dollars short But he made an adult decision. Yes, to protect us all with a ninja suit. Alright, so we want to hear about your adult decisions, tongue and cheek, when you maybe prioritise spending something that wasn't rent. Maybe you needed the new

Kylie Jenner lip kit and your gas is on, the gas light's on. You're like, ah, what does the gas light actually mean? Yeah, but I look great. I look. My car won't start, but I look great. So we're talking about those adult decisions, money adult decisions that you've made lately.

Car went at the social media desk, has $9 until payday and has spent that and some savings on a Tamagotchi. That doesn't work because it was a dodgy Facebook Marketplace pickup. Again, Facebook Marketplace. Hit and miss, isn't it? Yeah. Really? Dan, what's the adult purchase you've made lately?

Good morning, Dan. Yeah, good day. Good morning. Hey. So my wife and I have a pocket money account that we put money into each week. And I was scrolling Marketplace and not a lot of money left on the account.

And Pokemon Gold came up for Game Boy. So I ripped out my old Game Boy. It still works. So I had no money left. I had to borrow my wife's pocket money. And unfortunately, two days later, she found out that I borrowed hers. Yeah. Yeah.

And then did she say, well, what have you spent it on? And you had to say, a Game Boy game. Oh, I said groceries. Oh, that makes sense. That makes sense. It's good to lie. Yeah, yeah. And then the game turned up and I had to come clean about it.

So I got it confiscated for a couple of weeks. Oh, my God. I love it so much. Like a naughty boy. No one ever tell my wife that confiscation of things is a possibility in a marriage. Because I reckon she'd just be like, well, you have lost privileges. And then hides it from you. Wow.

You're a naughty boy. You took money out of her pocket money, though, naughty boy. Wow. That is amazing. Mind you, Pokemon Gold. We're talking like 99 original Game Boy Color Pokemon Gold? Yeah. I don't know you're sitting on a gold mine there.

Yeah. Oh, you're not. Yeah, I agree. They made a bajillion of them. That's an investment, mate. There's it. Dan. It's an investment.

Thanks, you called Greer. What was your adult decision of late financially? Well, I applied for my course-related course for my studies. Yeah, great. We were just saying, God, if only we'd been wiser with our for my course-related costs for my studies. Yeah, great. We were just saying, God, if only we'd been wiser with our student loan course-related costs. It's changed. They'd give you as much as you wanted back in the day. Back in the day.

You could have been like, I need $10,000. What for? To live. Oh, really? And then just get $10,000. Put a deposit on a house, yeah. Is it still $1,000, Greer? Yes, yeah.

It's still $1,000. Last year, it was $2,000 because of COVID. Great, but... Well, the COVID's not gone anywhere. Auntie Jacinda, give us $2,000. I don't know why I'm... I don't know why I'm all for giving you $2,000. I'm not getting $2,000.

What did you spend your course-related costs on? This year I got my course-related costs and I decided it'd be really nice to go for a trip to Queenstown. Oh! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Keeping the economy going. Yeah, they would have appreciated it. We should say thank you.

So have you gone yet or are you still going? Yeah, no, we went a couple of weeks ago and it was great. We got to do everything. That'd be a great tour. God, I reckon I could spend course-related costs at Blue Canoe. Oh, absolutely. Oh, my God. That place is just nommies.

Blue Canoe. That's probably the most boosted student. Absolutely. A thousand dollars cost for that guy's Blue Canoe. Gianna, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good.

What was your really mature adult financial decision of late? Well, okay, it was my husband. He was down in the South Island recently, and I got a notification for spending on my mobile phone. And I called him. I was like, what was that? And he was just like, oh, I just bought a motorbike helmet because it was on sale.

And I was like, we don't own a motorbike. Does he want to own one? I think he's dropping hints. Yeah, I think it's going in that direction. He's just like starting to get all the little pieces together and then it's going to be one massive cost later on. I think the helmet was expensive.

Wait till you see how much the bike costs. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that. Wow. Amazing. Gianna, thanks for you calling some messages in. I'm moving into a new flat. I just recently saw a bed. I was like, that's a nice bed. Spent $1,500 on it, but now I have no money for the bond.

I have to pay to move into the new house. That's, uh... Yeah, so you've got an air mattress for a month or so. Yeah, you do. We're trying to save for a kitchen renovation, so making a hard decision to cut down on unnecessary spending. Yeah. My husband came home two days ago with a motorized skateboard.

The petrol kind. He's 45 years old. Oh my God. Wow. Yeah. That's a mature financial decision. Absolutely. He's got to.

Why is he short? Driving it to work? What's the deal? Wow. My name's Alan. Hi, Alan. Good morning, Alan. Good morning, Alan. Good name's Alan. Hi, Alan. Good morning, Alan. Good morning, Alan.

Good morning, Alan. I had $30 to my name and I needed gas to get to work, but then I saw a really cool lighter, so I bought a $30 lighter and now I don't know how I'm getting to work. Start walking, Alan. Start walking. Start walking. My car was broken into.

I needed to go and get repaired. But there was a stand down period while they waited for parts. So I guess it was like. You keep driving it with the cardboard window in until. Yeah. Or whatever. The big black sack window. Yeah.

And that time I bought a mountain bike. Now I have no money to pay for my excess for insurance. Oh. But you can always use the bike until you can afford the excess. As far as work. Yeah, unless work's like 20 k's away. Clitch, Fawn and Hayley's Community Notices. Welcome to Community Notices, the secret show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand and abroad today,

as we have a couple of internationals, according to local Facebook pages. Let's go to the Upper Hutt community page first. Donna writes, Last night, I ran over something. Oh, God. Donna. Donna's coming in hot. Yeah, last night, I ran over something.

So sickening, I've never smelt that before. I called the police for a welfare check as there was someone living in the bushes. What? Oh. Someone. Well, don't admit to your possible crime. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

She ran over their poopies. Oh, right. She ran over the poopoos. Someone was living in a bush and where she drove through was their poopoos. On the road. How big was the poopoos? bush and where she drove through was their poo-poos. But she did call the place... How big was the poo? It might be their...

By the sounds of it, like the size and how she begins to describe it in a moment's time, it sounds like it might have been their regular defecation spot. On the road? No, on a track. Oh, right. Okay. Maybe like a track not regularly driven down. Not in the middle of the road. Good on them having such solid poos that if you drove over it,

you'd actually feel it. Ka-dunk. God, I've helped run over something. Well, maybe she saw them scuttling away, pulling up their trowel. I don't know. But I ran over something. I called the police for a welfare check because there was someone living in the bushes.

But the smell of what I ran over, I can't describe it, and no one can stand anywhere near my work ute. Three car washes later, $70 worth of products, and one use of Hyapool's water blaster, the smell ain't going anywhere. Jeepers. Carry on. Baking soda.

Can anyone recommend someone who does deep cleaning inside and out, and especially out as it smells worse when it's running and it's already bad. So I'm imagining it's up in the motor. It's in the vents. It's in the vents. It must have been a monster, a huge pile of... A monster dirt. A monster pile of doo-doo.

Wow. But if anybody is on the Upper Hutt community page and can offer sort of knowledge to Donna on how to fix this issue and eradicate the smell, let her know. Doesn't vinegar cure all? Vinegar. Vinegar.

Baking soda. Baking soda and vinegar. That's an option at the DIY car wash. Vinegar. A vinegar squirt. A vinegar button. A vinegar squirt. New car smell.

Yeah. When I was, because I'm trying to keep my new car nice, Yes, or a vinegar button. A vinegar squirt. New car smell. Yeah. When I was, because I'm trying to keep my new car nice, pina colada was a spray option at that little vacuum store. Don't do it. You'll never get it out. No, no, no, no. I never would.

It smelled like an Uber. Like someone's vombed in the back. Yeah. I mean, when I sold my first car, 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage, one wing mirror. A classic. A classic. Mitsubishi Mirage. I gave it a little classic. A classic. Mitsubishi Mirage. I gave it a little,

you know, scented squirt. Yeah. Cherry. Cherry? Cherry. Cherry! Sold it to my friend.

He was like, how dare you? A year later, he was still dealing with it. One wing mirror is fine, but cherry is an insult. From the Flatmates and Rentals Waikato page,

Ryan writes, any 420 friendly flats out there? Oh, yeah. Rachel writes, I respect your honesty, Ryan, but not currently at my flat. Ben writes, just wait until they fall asleep

and blow it out the window, to which Ben's flatmate writes, Ben, we can see this. So Ben might not be able to get his Bond back. Hoon darts and blunts out the window anymore. Sky on the Vic Deals page

says, all my friends seem to be isolating and I'm super keen on some beer pong. I'm at home in Mount Vic. If you want to play in real life, any takers? I don't know if beer pong with strangers

during a pandemic. Yeah. But then people are like, oh, can't wait to get out of isolation and play some beer pong. Someone's like, oh, in my isolation, I play beer pong against myself. I set up a little Perspex screen and bounce it off. Wow. People are that keen on beer pong that they can't.

It's a lot of fun. They can't wait. This is from the Merrifield community page. This is from one of our Australian listeners. Oh, okay. Heads up. Always check the products you're buying. I seen a lady at Coles. Now that's the most Australian way of saying I have seen

or I saw. Yeah. I seen a lady at Coles, Maryfield pick up a jar of mayonnaise, study the back of it for a while, opened it, stuck her finger in rotated the finger around pulled it out, licked it, obviously didn't like it put the lid back on and proceeded to put it back on. No!

That is disgusting. She said, always check the safety seal isn't broken. I reported to the staff, I identified which jar it was and we checked the safety seal had been broken

so check your safety seals and if it's got a big fingery swoosh in it. Dead giveaway. It's a dead giveaway. What is wrong? I mean, there's tasting a grape

for seeds and then there's that. Well, you can't put the grape back, can you? No. It's a dead giveaway. What is wrong? I mean, there's tasting a grape for seeds, and then there's that. Well, you can't put the grape back, can you? No. That's gone. That's gone. But there's sticking your finger in mayonnaise. That's a no-go.

It's like when you go to do a pick and mix, get some cashews, perhaps, and you see a kid absolutely fingering all the things senselessly. And then licking the seasoning off their fingers. I love this boujee. Back in for some more. Buy, sell sell and swap. Wonganui Page Maxwell writes,

me and my mate are starting a lawn mowing landscaping business. This is good. Some entrepreneurial lads getting their business out there. We are called Two Sexy Boys. Okay, what's going on? I'm listening. We'll mow lawns in our undies for the sexy old ladies. We will provide male stripping like entertainment and sexy dancing.

What? We charge $20 an hour. Now that's a good price to see a little booty and get your lawns done. Yeah, right. We also love a good cup of tea and some bickies at the end. You just can't tell our missuses. Missuses. Missuses.

Yeah, the plural is Mrs's The plural is Mrs's and these are my Mrs's Yeah Yeah Lol If he gives us a couple of beers we get extra naughty

so watch out If you're interested let us know We are fit young men ready to work XX Where are they? Sorry?

Whanganui Oh damn Well they might travel if you give them a travel allowance I'll pay for travel. Okay. There could be a West Auckland version of that. I've got beers and bickies.

And an afternoon free. Right, would your husband, your fiance be home at this stage? No, no, no. He'll be out and about. Okay, so. Out and about. Do the lawns.

He'll come home and be like, baby, did the lawns? I'll be like, yes, I did. I sure did. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. he'll come home and be like, baby, did the lawns? I'll be like, yes, I did. I sure did. I'll say the internet is somewhat divided on this, which is surprising to me. A heavily pregnant woman has taken to the internet.

She's tiffed off. It's summer. She's in Australia. It's hot. She's pregnant. She took to TikTok to share her experience She was in Bunnings Getting just the essentials

Well that was her plan That was her plan And she got absolutely lost, she was wandering around No one could help her So she was out in the car park, she was leaving Bunnings And an older woman Just came up to her, put her hand On her belly, rubbed it, and said,

oh, congratulations. Was she even pregnant? Well, the woman said, I grabbed her hand, looked her in the eye, pushed her hand off and said, I'm not pregnant, and walked away, waddled away. Now, the thing is, she is, in fact, nine months pregnant. Okay, right. So the lady is, she is in fact nine months pregnant. Okay, right.

So the lady wasn't wrong. The stranger. No, but she wanted the lady to go, I've made that mistake. And it's a mistake. I've witnessed this happen once when it was a mistake. Yeah. I won't say the context of it really,

but I was standing very close by as a dear friend of mine said to another person in the room, congratulations. And then the other person was like, on what? And I went, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then my friend said, your pregnancy. And then the other girl was like, oh, no, I'm not pregnant.

And then proceeded to sort of explain, oh, you know, I've put on a bit of... It was the most awkward thing in the world. I would never say... Never assume. ...to any female, even if I could see it coming out, the baby. Even afterwards, I'd be like, hey, what are you up to? You just don't assume. Well, there's two things at play here.

One, I think in a general rule, maybe I've never been pregnant. Yeah. But if I was, I wouldn't want people just assuming they could touch my body at any time. And this was as long as she was like, two years of COVID, I don't want people coming up and just touching my body. It's still my body. Because there's always been a complaint, hasn't it, over the years,

that strangers just come up and think they can touch your belly when you're pregnant. Yeah. And then the second thing touch your belly when you're pregnant. Yeah. And then the second thing is the assumption that you're pregnant where even though she is pregnant, just to confirm that,

oh, it's dangerous. It's dangerous. We were sharing stories about this and Anna, you had somewhat of a similar experience. Yeah. Yeah. And also the like harsh thing is this was probably 10 years ago and like 20 kilos ago oh absolutely yeah so I was probably about 14 or 15

um and I was actually out running and probably like a size 10 or 12 at the time yeah so um this older woman kind of approaches me as I'm running past I could see that she started saying something and I had headphones on so I was like, oh sorry, what was that? I missed it. And she said how far along are you? You're like 4k's.

I'm going to get another one under the belt. What do you mean? And yeah, she was like oh, oh, oh no. And then I just didn't stop running. Never ever. How many years ago did you say? About 10 years ago. I think we've learned better now to never, never do that.

I'm surprised. I don't think everybody has. I don't think they have, no. I'm really surprised it hasn't happened to me because I've got like horrendous food allergies and I can never keep up with them and my stomach is constantly like I'm bloated.

And I've always got a little pregnant belly. I remember posting a photo of it on Instagram and everyone was like, congrats! And I was like, no, I'm constipated. On what, the fact that I can't process onions? I hate onions and mushrooms. Oopsy doopsies. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, you've had it for six weeks.

Vaughn, you are the proud owner of a Suzuki Jimny. Yep. And it's like, I notice these everywhere now. They're everywhere. It's like- Do you know, yesterday on the way home, three, and we all gave each other the big flash of the lights in a wave. You were trying to get a J going for a while.

I was trying to get a J going for the gym, but it's hard to do it, especially when you're a shaved head white guy putting your hand up in any manner. It looks bad. Wildly. Yeah. I see so many white girls driving them too. Oh, yeah, they love them. They love them.

And they all look so happy driving them like you do. They're a happy looking car. Yeah. Slow car though. Not fast. And like you said before, you're taking it to the car wash. Yeah, looking after it. You're looking after it.

Vacuuming it. Regularly cleaning it out. I don't leave my rubbish in it like my last car. You put on the roof racks. You got roof racks and a little- The spotlights and the roof racks are getting wired in today. Why do you need spotlights on the roof racks? Why not?

That's a good answer to my question. Why not? Absolutely. Why not? I'll accept that. He's slowly doing something. Why not? That's a good answer to my question. Why not? Absolutely. I'll accept that. So proud. You know, slowly doing something. I've made some little AliExpress accessory orders for it,

little bits and pieces here and there. So proud. Thinking about getting a couple more speakers in the stereo. Yeah. Getting it a slightly better stereo. But I'm loving it. Yeah. Cut it out.

So proud of it in the car park here at work. So imagine yesterday, Vaughan's surprise, when there is another Suzuki Jimny in the car park that not only is kitted out, but it is kitted out. It's comical how much it's kitted out. But you saw it online, did you? I was semi-familiar because there's an online community of chimney owners. Of course there is.

And everyone's like, I've done this or what would you do here? Questions and answers. All the gals get together to gossip about their chimneys. Real little chit-chat. So I'd already seen this one online. I didn't even know it was for sale. And then yesterday I get a message from our CEO. I just wanted to be like you.

And he has got himself the absolute kitted out chimney you described message from our CEO. I just wanted to be like you. And he has got himself the absolute kitted out Jimny you described that we saw yesterday in the basement. But not only that, a full blown Jimny camping trailer as well, which is the dream. Better than yours. He out Jimnied me. He alpha mailed. He alpha mailed me. And now he's on the phone.

Good morning. Good morning. I'm feeling offended having Hayley say that it was comical though. Yeah, honestly. I came down. So we were going to the lift to go down to our cars and Vaughan made a stop on the upper level. He's like, I just want to see something.

I was like, what is happening? And he pulls us out and we literally went around your car and looked at all the things and Vaughan was like, he's got this, he's got this! And I was laughing. I was like, what does he need this for? What have you got? You've got that. Snorkel. Snorkel. Are you driving underwater, Bogsy?

Well, you know, I do live across the bridge so you never know what's going to happen these days. Well, that's fair actually. That's fair. I mean, Andrew at the Devonport boat ran fast enough. You might get into the Vita. He was admiring. You've got extra cup holders. You've got the roof racks he wants, the light set up, the snorkel. You've got the bonnet protector.

You've got the toe planks. You've got a CD radio. Oh, you've got a radio. You've got a CD radio. Oh, CB. No, CB. Like, come and visit Charlie Charlie and rescue him. Are you, Bongsy, our CEO, are you doomsday prepping?

Absolutely. I just saw what Vaughan, how much he loved his. Are you, Bogsy, our CEO, are you doomsday prepping? Absolutely. I just saw what Vaughan, how much he loved his, and I just so want to be like him, as you said. Yeah, but you can't get the same. You've got to go better. Instead of being like him, you've outdone him. That's nice. He was so dark about it, Bogsy.

Now, I heard you saying that he's actually getting the lights and got the roof rack. So if you need to really come have a look at some good lights, you know, go down and have another look. I don't want to. Have you seen the lights that are in the wheel wells? What? They shine different colours and you can do it by remote control off your phone.

Oh, this thing is pimped out. Do you have some siren speakers as well, Bob? Are you parking up in a South Auckland domain playing Celine Dion? Well, the trailer does actually have some big speakers in it, along with a fridge. Oh! Yours is so much better than Vaughan's. It's so much better than Vaughan's.

I hate to do this to you, Bogsy, but I'm going to MediWorks. He knows what he's doing. I can't stay here. I can't be alpha-mode like this. Bogsy, do you love yours as much as Vaughan loves his? Oh, look, it's a few days in, but what I can't stay here. I can't be alpha mode like this. Boxie, do you love yours as much as Vaughan loves his? Oh, look, it's a few days in, but what I can tell you is it was such lovely owners I bought it off that as they drove away,

the wife was in tears. How beautiful is that? Oh, that's beautiful. Are they upgrading to a real truck? No, they're not. I did notice you had your Audi keys on the dashboard. That made me be like, okay, so there's other options in Audi.

That's nice. Oh, there you go. See, you really did have a good look. I love the number plate too. You'll be able to see his nose print against the window. Bogsy also inherited an Instagram account with this. Did you? This car's got his own Instagram.

It's a little rig. So, yeah, the number plate's little rig, and the Instagram account is littlerig1. So you can go on there and you can see it. Now he's an influencer. Oh, wow. Now he's influencing. I'm following.

I'm following. Yeah, give it a follow. I'm going to unfollow Vaughn. Wow, that's amazing. It just feels right. I'm going to unfollow Vaughn. I think his content is quite boring. And I'm going to go littlerig1.

There you go. Amazing. Follow. Absolutely alpha, man. I'm looking forward go little rig one. There you go. Amazing. Follow. Absolutely alpha man. I'm looking forward to a Jiminy Convoy but I'm going to have to do, I'm going to have to spend

a lot of money. Your car is going to look so stupid after this. You're so pressured by Bogsy's awesome car you're going to have like all the bells and whistles. Yeah, it's going to be

like exhibit pimp my ride level ridiculous. You'll only be able to drive like 60k an hour because it'll be so weighed down by all your trimmings. A ton of accessories. Well, Bogsy. I'm actually asked if able to drive like 60k an hour because it'll be so weighed down by all your trimmings. A ton of accessories. I'm actually asked if I can change car parks.

I can park next to Vaughan. Oh, yes, do it. Don't do that. What are you doing? It's like pulling up to me next to the urinal. Don't help a male. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

No Big Macs in Russia. Ha ha. If one thing's going to end a war, it'll be... Not being able to get you. Not being able to get a Big Mac. Mmm. I want a Big Mac. Call it all up.

Bring them home. You can't have. I want a Big Mac secret sauce. All right, well, we've got an announcement. We've got a new competition. And this could pull on the heartstrings. This could get... You could need a box of tissues.

I'm going to need a whole stack of them. Flesh, born and Haley's. Border break. Well, with the borders open to New Zealand citizens... Quarantine free. Quarantine free. Quarantine free. If you've axed. We are giving you the chance to bring somebody home.

Yeah. Either a one-way flight for them to move back to New Zealand from wherever they've been living. Maybe they got stuck somewhere on their OE and they're ready to come home. Or maybe you just haven't seen them for the last two years. Well, a lot of people, it's like three years because they'll be like, they hadn't seen them and they're just about to see them

and then it all broke. A lot of people have been, yeah. Have been, yeah, stuck overseas. So, yeah, a chance for you to tell your friends that are living overseas that they should register

or you can register for them. Either to win a flight home or to come and visit. I mean, I'd probably check with them. Oh, yeah, they might not want to move back. Don't just register them. Either to win a flight home or to come and visit. I mean, I'd probably check with them. Oh yeah, they might not want to move back. Don't just register them.

Stephen's ready to move home. We ring him. Ma'am. Ma'am. You busy on the 20th? Yeah, I can't do that. Oh. Cool.

Ma'am. But yeah, like you say, some people haven't come home in three years or more. To be honest, I've loved it. It's really given me a chance to absolutely secure my spot as favourite son. Yeah, nice.

With my brother overseas. Me too. Your parents just got back before they cut off last year. Just. And so they hadn't seen him for a year before that, right? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. I think they missed his...

Yeah, they missed his 40th and stuff because they couldn't see him for a year because of the lockdown. Well, friends and family aren't eligible to enter, so your brother cannot enter. What about me? My parents haven't seen my brother for about three years. So...

Does he have the same last name as you? Yeah. Yeah, see, if a Smith's not going to get away with it, I doubt a Sproul is going to stick out. I've been loving watching, you know, those reuniting videos, people coming, you know, those reuniting videos. People coming, you know, the pandemic's kept them apart. And they sit like people surprising their parents or their dogs.

Have you seen the one with the dogs? Yeah. You can't take a dog to the airport. Come home. Well, someone stood on the dog. Maybe that's why it made that noise. All right. Well, if you would like to register for Fleet Shem Vaughan and Hayley's border break, you can

do that at ZM online. Pass the message on to your friends and family living overseas as well. Yeah. She would love to bring somebody home and have a special reunion. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, the saddest song of all time has been crowned. I sit and wait.

Is it that? There's an angel. That's Robbie Williams, isn't it? Contemplate my fate. That's number 10 on the list of the saddest songs of all time. It's about an angel, right? I'm loving angel. What is it about?

This could also be like the top 30 list of funeral songs too, couldn't it? Yeah. Funerals are sad. All of these are very sad, but the number one, the most saddest song of all time, R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts. Everything about this song is sad. Everybody does hurt. Like even that guitar, that... Yep.

His voice is like, it's pain, isn't it? And the first time he speaks... The day's long. The day's long. The day's too long. The night. The night is yours alone. That is a sad song.

And then when he wails at the chorus. Yeah, the wailing. He wails. And this would have been used in so many TV shows and movies. So many TV shows and movies. Someone dies on Grey's Anatomy. Oh my God. It's not on the list, but all it was reminded me of was,

do you remember, ooh, what you say from the OC? When someone got shot and they always had on Degrassi high. Ooh, what you say? Oh, what you talking about? Oh, what you talking about? They needed R.E.M. Everybody Hurts. I've got tears in my eyes. Yeah.

1992, this song was recorded. Oh, yeah, she's an old dog. And released. Oh, the bit. Oh, my God. It did well in New Zealand. It's been covered by every artist ever, according to Wikipedia. I'm just looking further down this list.

It's a list of 30. Some of them really make me laugh. We've talked about Gary Jewell's Mad World. All around me. Good song. At the end, number 30, The Fray, How to Save a Life. It's not sad, it's silly. Coldplay fixies in there. James Blunt. Goodbye, number 30. The fray, how to save a life. It's not sad, it's silly. Coldplay, fix you's in there.

James Blunt. Goodbye, my lover. Oh, yeah, that's number 12 on the list. Number 12. So the second saddest song on the list. Because nothing compares. Nothing compares to you. Yeah, that's a sad song. The third most saddest song?

Oh. Oh. Written about a son that died? Yes. Yeah. He did an unplugged Eric Clapton, and this is already an unplugged. He unplugs it further.

He unplugged it again. I tell you what, you'll be weeping. And I This is number four on the list. I will say, very sad song. Dolly Parton's version, who wrote the song. She's just like, it's softer. Yeah.

Whereas this is all about Whitney's big voice. Yeah. And what a voice. R.I.P. Number six on the list of the saddest songs of all time. Never mind, I'll find someone like you. Yeah. Beautiful.

Emotional. And when she sings this at the Brit Awards and she cries. Oh, I know. I've got goosebumps. I know. It's such a good performance. Are we going to get Coldplay Yellow on this list? Coldplay Yellow is...

You've got Fix You at number 15. Yeah, it's 15. Oh, my God. I remember being 16 with my boyfriend. He was driving me home. We'd had a fight and he played it and he cried.

Don't you love it? A man opened himself emotionally and you were like, ha ha ha. He played it unironically though. Like, I don't know how to fix you.

Lights will go. Did he ever work out how to fix you? I mean, where could you use some running pointers? No, he didn't, obviously. Look at me.

Look at the state of me. Well, maybe he should have played number 30 on the list. He should have. Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. So where along in the bitterness? And I'm just afraid. Yeah, I don't.

I think you're right. It's not. It's not sad enough. What about Travis? That Travis song. When is it always been on me? No, I think you're right. It's not sad enough. What about Travis? That Travis song. When is it always been on me? No, that's not in here. Not on the list.

Bugger. My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion is seven. Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. Oh, yes. That last note. I sound just like her, don't I? Yeah. Well, we thought this morning we'd talk about those sad songs

that maybe you go to for a technical cry. Yeah, we've given such a good list of sad songs, but I would love for someone to ring up and say, I can do you one better. Yeah, one that really hits. Oh, hold on. I've got that one we talked about before. Have you got my auxiliary cord up?

This? Image and Heat, Hide and Seek is what the song was called. And when Marissa shot Trey to save Ryan on the OC, that was when it became one. All I think of with this song, iconic moment in TV history. No one will ever forget it. SNL did a parody. Yes.

Watch, watch this. Bang, he's shooting it every time they do it, he shoots someone. All right, well, we want to hear from you this morning. 0800 dials at M, you can text as well, 9696. REM, Everybody Hurts is the saddest song. Can you beat it with a sadder song? All right, your go-to sad song. Everybody Hurts by REM has been crowned the saddest song. Alright, your go-to sad song, Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. has been

crowned the saddest song Everybody hurts of all time Sometimes It gets you. It's good, isn't it? It's good. Sometimes everybody cries

Well, you messed that up, didn't you? I messed that up. So we want to know this morning, your sad song, your go-to sad song maybe for a tactical cry. It is nice when you're like, I've got to have a cry. I feel like a cry. Put on your headphones.

Lie down. Crying. Crying rules. Crying rules. Crying is awesome. Chris, good morning. You sleep so well. I've slept so well.

Hey, how are you guys? Good. He's a big boy and he likes to cry. Chris, how are you, mate? Oh, this one's not for me. When I cry, I cry to Adele, that's for sure. But when I was like 13, my brother was having his birthday party. He was like 17.

I remember walking into the living room and this girl was just in tears on the floor listening to Goo Goo Dolls, Iris, and me just being like, what is going on? And she's like, this is me and my ex-boyfriend's song. And I just didn't understand it. That's weird. I was just like, what is happening? She's in tears.

I'm confused. Oh my God. It's a classic. How do you describe that open strum, that real loose? Steel string. Ting, ting, ting. I give up. And it was in a movie, City of Angels?

Yeah. The first time I made love, Chris, was to this song. Oh my God. Just chuck that out there. Were you also crying? Oh, very much so. Before, during and after. Didn't even make it to the chorus.

Didn't. Sadly, sadly. Hell of a rhythm to make love to as well, I'll tell you that. It's a slow burn. 1, 2, 3. It's triplets. 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. It's like a waltz. 2, 3. In 2, 3. Out 2, 3.

We're allowed to joke about it. It's me. You've got to it to the chorus? And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand The board was already done at this point It was over It really was Great jam, Chris

Some more text messages in Oh my god, this one I've got a song here I've queued up a song This is an absolute I reckon this is a belter To have a good cry to more text messages in. Oh my God, this one. I've got a song here. I've queued up a song. This is an absolute, I reckon this is a belter to have a good cry to. Oh, Johnny.

Oh, Matt's called in about it as well. Get him on the phone. Matt. Yeah, g'day. Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. Oh my God.

So I didn't really, he wrote this about you. You've got to watch the video because it... Oh, I know. Listen to that voice. I mean, he was nearly dead. Yeah, and he's still playing the guitar, though,

and it's all about his wife, June Carter Cash, and how much he loved her and, like, the hurt and everything. Matt, this one really gets the tears pouring. Oh, I need the tissues for sure. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good song. Originally about drugs, but completely different to tissues for sure. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good song. Originally about drugs,

but completely different when Cash is bowing it out. Listen to that voice. God damn it, I love Johnny Cash. Yeah, that's good. Should we just play sad songs for the rest of the day? I am. I'm ready for a cry.

People tuning in. I've got a little cry spot under the desk here. Looking for a morning pick-me-up on their way to work and we're playing Johnny Cash. Turn around and go home. It's a cry day. All right, well, let's change tack. Brendan for a morning pick-me-up on their way to work and we're playing Johnny Cash. Turn around and go home as a cry day.

All right, well, let's change tack. Brendan, good morning. Good morning. What is the sad song for a tactical cry? DJ Sammy Heaven. Do you remember the 9-11 version?

Yeah. You've got to be talking about the 9-11 version. With the girl at the front? Yeah, yeah. When she starts talking and stuff like that, it just pretty much does everybody. Yeah.

Oh, this one. Yes. Oh, no. Why are you playing this? Oh, no. God, it takes a while to get into it, doesn't it? I missed you today, Daddy. It does.

I know, and it's terrible. And it's these kids that have lost their parents. We've been down that road. Oh. Yeah. All right, Brendan, thank you. Good to see a lot of men opening up. Yeah.

Someone said, cheers to Princess Di. I can't believe Candle in the Wind's not been mentioned. Oh, yeah. Which version? The Lady Di version? The Lady Di version. The Lady Di version. Both very sad.

Yeah. Someone said, Lisa just wants to Divergent. Both very sad. Yeah. Someone said, Lisa just wants to appreciate how many males have called in and opened up emotionally this morning. And that's what we're all about here at the show, Lisa. Emotional males apart from Fletch. Oh, look. His eyes are almost too dry. Yeah.

He needs an eye drop. You know? He's got parched eyes. It looks like it's painful to blink. They're so dry. Pearl Jam's Last Kiss. Oh, yeah. That's a good one.

Pearl Jam's Last Kiss. I'm going to have a good cry today. I'm going to make an absolute playlist. Miley Cyrus' The Climb because it was my sister's favourite song and we played it at a funeral. Oh, you're going to get me. How fast I get there? Yeah.

Yeah. I've never thought about it from that angle on the way in. That's a... I can almost see it. Oh. Yeah, that would get you. I'll probably never listen to that one the same again. It sounds like the same entrance to the...

Oh, no, it's gone. I heard it. Oh, so 90s child's message, Dan. Brick by Ben Folds 5. Yes. And the entrance sounds like that. Don't you think it sounds like You Raise Me Up as well? Yeah, yeah.

A little bit of Josh Groban. Oh, Groban. Groban would get the tears pouring. Plenty of songs here. You'll get all the body's liquids moving. Plenty of songs here for a tactical cry today. Yeah, what are we going to play after this? I'm just looking at what's...

Oh, yeah, we're all right. Something to cheer us up after this, because I could just... Yeah, that's it. It's trumpet. It's trumpet. That's it. And you go...

Cheer up. Baby, baby. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, 25 years today since the notorious B.I.G. was killed. Oh, wow. 25 years since since the notorious B.I.G. was killed. Oh wow. 25 years

since Christopher Wallace. I have to say since the Super Bowl halftime, I've been going that's been my jam recently, listening, going back to Tupac, a bit of old Snoop and Dre, a bit of Biggie. I've got to pick and choose my 90s rap songs, some of them horrendous.

Oh. As a woman, I should not be listening to this. There's some very unkind lyrics towards women, but then there's some absolute poetry. But the beats. Makes it great beats. Could be the best beats. There's a whole podcast series, Slow Burn, season three, that was

all about it, which is a fascinating listen. About what? The wars? About music? Specifically about Biggie and Tupac. Oh, right, okay. But today's fact of the day is that, and when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac both had more songs released after they died than they did before. Huh. Did they have a backlog of stuff yet to be released? Apparently just a whole lot of recording. Well, I mean, Tupac,

there was still music coming out from him in like 2012. He did a duet with Elton John. I was like, how is he doing this? Who was the artist recently who said that they were going to store up years and years of music so that after they die they could keep on playing for like 25 years? I don't remember who it was. It sounds like Kanye, to be fair. It does sound like a Kanye situation.

Yeah, but before his passing, he had four singles, Notorious B.I.G., after which he had three times that. And albums. Really? Albums, yeah. Albums the same. These are singles that actually charted.

So you're saying it was a bit of a career move? It was an interesting career path to go down. But yeah, I can kind of remember it happening when we were at school. It was a lot of shootings. It was a lot of hip-hop shootings in the 90s. And I remember them being like, oh, he's been shot. And I was like, oh, okay, I don't really know who he is. But if it makes me seem cool, man, that sucks.

Yeah. But yeah, 25 years ago today. Wow. And he was only 24, so he still wouldn't even be 50 years old. Wow. Still wouldn't even be 50. He'd still be pumping out the jams, I reckon. Yeah, definitely.

So today's fact of the day is that both, well, today's fact of the day is that it's today, 25 years ago since the Tories B.I.G. died, and both him and Tupac have had more singles released after they died than they did before. Fact of the day, day, day silly little poll today. Socks on in bed or socks off in bed? Now, we're just kind of on that cusp where in some parts, especially the South Island, it's getting quite cold at the moment. That's their fault. We've got three weekends of daylight saving.

Yeah, which doesn't necessarily mean the temperature drops. No, but we're months away from winter. Coldness. And coldness. And people do wear socks to bed. Yeah. Or you can buy bed socks. Those like fluffy.

My mother loves a bed sock. Really? Really. Too hot. She loves a bed sock. We grew up in like a 110-year-old house house and that was when I was living there. Yeah. My parents hadn't gone out of their way to insulate it. Well that is sadly I think

probably a reflection of the fact that a lot of us live in drafty, cold, poorly insulated houses. Oh yeah. Ancient houses. Yeah. I think my house is 145 years old. Luckily they're cheap though. Reflected in the price you know. Cheap as chips. Yeah. I'm happy with my house. It's nearly falling over.

There's just something wearing socks in bed, it's bleh. So I love to get into bed with a sock on, heat up, and then like kick them off and your feet are all soft and sheets are all... Oh, yeah. Gotcha, gotcha. Rather than cold feet into the cold sheets. Somewhere in the abyss at the bottom of the mattress.

Just a collection sort of comes until you change the sheets at the end of the week and you're like, socks, socks, socks, socks. Well, at the bottom of the mattress. Just a collection sort of comes until you change the sheets at the end of the week and you're like, socks, socks, socks, socks. Are these new socks or have you been wearing them all day? Oh, new socks. Oh no, I'm not getting to be in my like day socks. Good. Specific bed sock or just a day sock that hasn't done the work? A fresh new sock. Yeah, okay, gotcha.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, those fluffy bed socks are too much. Too hot. I couldn't go to sleep in socks. I'd find it weird When I've When I like stay in a hut And I'm in a sleeping bag Say if I go tramping Yeah I'll wear my socks

My woolly socks In my sleeping bag So I'm nice and toasty Yeah That's winter And the other socks You wear next day on the tramp Yeah

Exactly Yeah yeah Because you're not doing A lot of foot sweating And that's During the night A little bit weird But yeah

In a bed No no no That's when you have A big duvet and blankets Well you're not alone a lot of foot sweating during the night. And that's a little bit weird, but yeah, in a bed, no, no, no, that's when you have a big duvet and blankets. Well, you're not alone. 83% said socks off. Definitely. Only 17% sleep socks on.

That's still 17% of weirdos, though, eh? That's like, Frank, what are you doing? Don't your feet get hot? I'm a hot foot in the summer and a frosty foot in the winter.

Right. Socks on lovemaking? No. Always. Always. I'll make you have to put socks on. You've got toenails, don't you? You've got to put the socks on purely for protection.

Absolutely, scratch them to treats. Like a cat with its razor-sharp claws. Okay, so some comments on it. India writes, Always been told it's because I have intimacy issues that I keep a sock on, but it's a comfort thing. Absolutely can't sleep without them on unless it's hot in the middle of summer.

Oh, like a little hug. Like a foot hug. So they wouldn't be a year, because I'm a nude sleeper, so it'd be weird if I went to bed nude with socks. With socks. Yeah. That'd be different.

I get that feeling. I'm like that with a little, like a short. I can't have the bottom half out. Yeah. That's weird. I get that feeling. I'm like that with a little, like a short. I can't have the bottom half out. Right. Need a little hug around the genies. Sophie also is pro sock. Yeah. I just can't with feet.

I'll even wear socks to the beach. What? So that's just a, it sounds like she's got some foot shame. Has she got some kind of like a veiny toe, long toe situation going on? Absolutely. Feet are gross. Yeah.

Feet are yuck. But everybody's got them, apart from people who don't. So there's nothing to be ashamed of. No, yeah. In your foot. Manda writes, socks on in bed for a second. Manda or Amanda? No, Manda.

It says... I'm assuming birth certificate says Amanda, but she's gone with Manda rather than Mandy or Mando. Okay. Socks on in bed for exactly two minutes before they get kicked off. There you go, like you.

Every time it's sheet changing time, there's a warm, sleepy bundle of socks and they're sort of at the end of the bed waiting to be washed. Oh, I don't like that. Yeah, because it's like a feeling and you're like, oh, I'm so comfy and then you're like, hang on,

and you slip off the sockies and you're like, oh, that's better. Yeah, I just't like that. Because it's like a feeling and you're like, oh, I'm so comfy. And then you're like, hang on. And you slip off the sockies and you're like, oh, that's better. Yeah, I just upgraded my comfort. I was just checking to see if you guys were on wiki feet. You're not. No one cares about your feet. Fletch should be on wiki feet. Are you on wiki feet? No.

That's creepy. Oh, yeah. You made it to wiki feet. I'm on wiki feet. What is wiki feet? So it's a weird website where they put it to wiki feet. I'm on wiki feet. What is wiki feet? So it's a weird website where they put pictures of celebrities' feet. Oh, I'm offended. Oh, I'm offended.

Where did they get a picture of your feet from? One of the pictures they put of my Instagram is of me post-marching. My feet are absolutely torn to shreds. And did you put that on your social media? Yeah, I posted it on a story and was like, oh, look at my feet today. A story says I'm a screenshot of it.

You've got to be careful with the feet, people. Do you remember they catfished our old producer, James, and they said they'd give him a Prezi card

for pictures of his feet and we were like, do it, because, you know, $50, and they sent him the Prezi card but they'd spent it.

It was a non-activated And then they did God knows what with those pictures of his feet. He's probably on wiki feet. Is it weird that I feel validated? That you're, hey, you've got to take it, you just like attention.

Words of affirmation, isn't that your love language? That is. My toe fingers would scare even feet people like that. No, there'd be people that are into it. Really? I can't believe you're not on here. Janelle said, socks off at night. Unless you're moisturising super dry feet overnight,

then it stops the moisturiser from getting on the sheets. And the socks hold in the moisturiser. Could also lead to a little bit of athlete's foot. Yeah, that sounds like you've got a real moist crevice issue there. Tasha, socks on during winter. F-ing amazing. Toasty warm to new levels. Socks off during any warm weather though.

Okay. That makes sense. Mackenzie said, I got told you'll overheat and die if you keep socks on when I was little. Die? So I still keep them off just in case. Who's rocking that to a kid just to stop them wearing socks to bed?

What's the downside of a kid wearing socks to bed? Also, what else was Mackenzie told? Square eyes, watching the TV. Yeah. Go blind when you look at the sun. Yeah. Which is truth, actually. You shouldn't look at the sun. Yeah. Which is truth, actually. You shouldn't look at the sun.

No. You will go blind. Trying to live, I'm not going to say a healthier lifestyle because my eating habits haven't changed and I still drink far too much. Okay, right. Ooh, daddy looks at that clock and if it's past five, he's already late for his first whiskey.

Wow. He looks at that clock and if there are two dots flashing, he has a drink. Yes. Yeah, that's the alarm saying, hello. These should represent ice cubes being dropped into a glass. I know that's, I've got to work on that. Yeah. We've all got something.

Anyway, I've tried to be more active, trying to get back to going to the gym because the gyms are open again and all the on and off last year. I got a little too, and I did that like a hundred, the whole year of closing all my rings every day. Yeah. After that, I felt like I earned eight years off. Yeah. But, you know, it started slowing down.

So I was like, I'm going to get back to the gym. Yeah. But you know, it's slowing down so I'm going to get back to the gym. Yeah. Got a pretty good gym situation in the fact that I just take an iPad and literally watch all the TV shows that I don't get time to watch when I'm at home. And yesterday I talked to people about the gym. Wait, do you, when you do like weights, because I don't

do a huge amount of weights. But you do cardio, you have your iPad, but then when you do weights do you still watch your TV show? Yeah. Oh, that's weird. I tried that yesterday because you'd said that. Because I'm a bit behind. I've got a lot of TV to watch at the moment.

I'll only ever watch something if I'm doing a little cardio. When you're doing weights, you're listening to like big heavy stuff. You've got to have the BPMs. Yeah, the BPMs going. No. And you've got to concentrate. I like a story that takes me away from where I am. That's the best part about it.

So Vaughan is that guy that sits on the machine that you really want to get on? No, no, no, no, no. I don't muck around on the machine. I'm not on a machine for very long at all. Absolutely. Right, okay. Just plopping around. Yeah.

But yesterday I always talk to the girls that work at the gym. Yeah. Because you're a gym pest. I'm not a gym pest. I've asked them and they've confirmed I'm not a gym pest. I've not even been on their radar. Right. Which is great. I'm not a gym pest. I've asked them and they've confirmed I'm not a gym pest. I've not even been on their radar. Careful they've got a radar. I'd imagine if you worked at a gym

you'd have to have a radar for possible gym pests and poops. So I finished usual pack up afterwards. How was today? And I said today's the day I stop lying. And I said horrible. How was today's And I said, today's the day I stop lying. And I said horrible. How was today's workout?

Horrible. Do they ask you this every day? How was today? Or how are you? Or what what do you have to do? Or you know, just like chat. It's too much talking. Yeah, yeah. I prefer an anonymous approach to exercise. I said horrible. And she said, I don't know what happened. I said

well, I had to be here. I came, didn't I? It was horrible. She's like, what do you mean? I was like, I don't want to be here. I'm certainly not one of the people that, like, looks forward to this. Yeah.

I do this because I have to. If I don't, you know, I'm over 40 now. I put on weight around my heart. I have a heart attack. Yeah. I'm just like, what? I was like, yeah. How many of these people actually enjoy being here?

And we had a quick squiz out. I was like, I reckon well over half of the people here are only here because they have to be. Yeah. They're trying to, you know, live longer or live a slightly healthier lifestyle. Well, in these interactions we have in public, they're merely just a, I'm sick of that shit.

Yeah, how was today? Good, thanks. Nice to see you. See you tomorrow. If someone says to me, like, how are you? I'm going to be like, I'm tired. Getting older. I'm getting older.

Bits hurt. I've absolutely lost trust in humanity. That's going to be my big one for now. Oh, yeah, humanity. I'm not big on humanity at the moment. It's not doing well, is it? But again, if someone asks me, I'm just going to say I'm fine. Not anymore. I'm not doing it.

Because if I say fine and then I'm like not talking because I'm done, they'll be like, ooh, something's wrong with him. But if they say how are you? And I'll be like, tired and miserable. Not miserable. Tired and I can feel like I'm on my verge

of getting grumpy for the day they're gonna be like okay so he doesn't want to talk. Yeah. That's why he's not talking from here on out.

Yeah. Yeah. See you tomorrow they said. I was like yeah you probably will. Just to make sure I don't die.

Have a good rest of your day I'll be like yeah well this part's over so it's fine. This is what happens when you get old. You just turn into a grumpy old man.

You're just waiting for everything to be over. You should just stop lying. I love life and I'm living a very privileged one. There's parts of it that are awesome. But the gym's not. And I like my job. There's absolutely no way I'd go to the gym if I didn't have to. No, neither.

Absolutely no way. If I like my job. There's absolutely no way I'd go to the gym if I didn't have to. No, neither. Absolutely no way. If I was born with a better metabolism, no hormonal issues or anything, I'd just be sitting at home having fun. If I could sit at home and look like, who's a hot dude? Liam Hemsworth. I'm not going anywhere. I'm Liam Hemsworth in my track pants. He only looks like Liam Hemsworth because he goes to the gym.

Because he goes to the gym. Yeah. That's a bad example. But, you know, if you could do that, I'd leave here, I'd go home, I'd play PlayStation all day long. You'd be pissed. I'd probably start drinking at lunchtime. Yeah, so would I if there was no price to pay.

If there was no consequence to my day drinking, I'd be drinking right now. Right. Okay, well, you're off. Finish the show now. You're off to the gym. Yep. Try to have a better attitude. Have fun, eh?

Ooh.
