Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Hi guys. Yeah, and we're all here because we didn't win Lotto. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:00:18 We did talk, you know, we talked a big game last week about quitting and just leaving. Just do it. Giving each other money and it just didn't happen. Watching the app do the check where it goes, first number's this and then it goes through
Starting point is 00:00:27 and it circles the ones that you got. I don't do that. It's not until I watch that that I realise what an absolute impossibility getting all of them would be. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Because you'll get it on a ticket and sometimes it'll be like 13 and it'll be like 113 on the whole ticket. You're like scattered. Yeah. I tell you what though. What?
Starting point is 00:00:47 Want some money betting on the Warriors at the weekend. What? Did you, how much have you won? Are we still getting a cut of that? I bet $10 and I won $22.40. Okay. So I'm up, baby. My TAB account.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Guess who's getting coffees this morning? Oh, perfect. No, it's all locked in. It's locked into my KiwiSaver app. By that, I mean my TAB account. I've never had a TAB account, never been interested in it. Grew up with a grandfather who loved a bloody... Loved the ponies.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Loved the ponies. Not the trots. No time for the trots. Got to be the gallops. And I used to ring the automated TAB phone line for him and place his bets and stuff. Yeah, same. That's terrible grandparenting.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Do you remember that? You'd ring it and it'd be like, you'd have to know the code. Gary, whatever the code was. You'd press like three because that would correspond with whatever race you wanted. And then you'd type in the horse and it was all automated. Right. So your KiwiSaver account is at $10?
Starting point is 00:01:42 $110. Because I went to put $10 into the account and accidentally put too many zeros on it. So, whoopsie-daisy. I've never been in there on a whim. I was just like, man, I feel like I think it was because they were like, the Warriors are $2.40 favourites. I was like,
Starting point is 00:01:57 they're going to romp home. And they did. What a game. Up the wires. This is not good. This is not good. This is the start of Vaughan's gambling addiction career, I think. Vaughan's a $5 top sort of guy. Yeah. Well, speaking of money, Five on Time is back today. I love this.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So do I. I love this game so much. I get too invested in it. Do you remember we played this game at the start of the year on ZM? It got up to $50,000 and then we gave away the $50,000. Five on Time, we are going to start at $50,000. And then we gave away the $50,000. Five on time. We are going to start at $5,000. Great starting point.
Starting point is 00:02:31 It will jackpot. Every wrong five on time, $500. We're going to play every morning at 8, 12, and 4, just like we did last time. And if you get through, when we play next at 8 o'clock, and you can say, did we say time or stop? We said time. If you can say time at exactly 5.0 seconds, you win the $5,000.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Or however much it jackpots to. It took a while last time. But we're further ahead now because we sort of know the way. I think people are trained. Go early. Use a stopwatch. Yeah, there. Go early. Use a stopwatch. Yeah, there's no rules against using a stopwatch. Or just think about your kids
Starting point is 00:03:10 names and then just sort of feel it, vibe it. Go for a vibe check. That's how she won. She just said her kids names. Yeah, in her head and then was like, time. And it was exactly five seconds. We're going to play again this morning. Your first chance at 8 o'clock, 5 on time is back.
Starting point is 00:03:27 The top six is on the way. Yeah. Online, tomato sauce on a Kit Kat got a lot of attention. It sure did. Oh, yuck. That's a bit yuck. And also, they were eating it like a slice. They weren't eating the fingers individually.
Starting point is 00:03:41 They weren't breaking off a finger and dipping it in tomato sauce. They were squirting it on their knee like a pie. Disgusting behaviour. So I've got the top six other sweet, savoury combos that tell me you enjoy the ganja without you telling me you enjoy the ganja. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Hello, it's me, Hayley Sproul. Gamer extraordinaire. Boy, my favourite game, I'd go, number one, Spyro the Dragon. Great game. Number two, I'm going Crash Bandicoot with the big rolling ball. And number three is Worms. Worms was great. Worms was so fun.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Someone talked to me about Worms the other day. And you had Bazooka the other Worm. And I referenced Lemmings. Oh yeah, that was the original Worms. Which was kind of the original, but you didn't lemmings against each other. No. You lemmings against the environment. It was lemmings versus the environment.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah. And I said, what was your favourite lemming? You don't remember. No, I just looked at it and I don't remember. Lemmings. It's got to be the one that did the pickaxe down on an angle. She said she liked the straight down pickaxe. I was like, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That's what the worms do, the pickaxe. Yeah, they do pickaxe as well. You're thinking of the worms. No, no, no. Lemmings do pickaxe down on an angle. She said she liked the straight down pickaxe. I was like, you're crazy. That's what the worms do, the pickaxe. Yeah, they do pickaxe as well. You're thinking of the worms. No, no, no, lemmings do pickaxes. Did they? I'm telling you, worms ran, lemmings walked so worms could run. Yeah, lots of burrowing.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Worms is a great game. Now, you famously bought your fiance a PlayStation. Yeah, he's been playing a sort of samurai game called Ghost something. Only a sort of samurai game called Ghost something. Only a couple of minutes a day. It's not annoying you at all, is it? He's pulled back. He's aware
Starting point is 00:05:13 we're talking about it on the radio. It has been brought to his attention. Has it? Okay. Who knocked on him? I actually got some codes. My friend Krista at PlayStation actually got some codes My friend Chris are at PlayStation
Starting point is 00:05:26 He gave me some codes Your codes No no We've got enough That Aaron's on board Oh right He's like get the big boy Playing some of these games
Starting point is 00:05:33 I'm good without the codes Thank you Don't encourage him Lord No August and I Were looking for a third In Fortnite yesterday When we were playing A little duos
Starting point is 00:05:40 Don't Fortnite my Fiance Please Nothing's Trust me Ask Sade. Nothing sexier than having your 40-year-old husband yelling at the TV and his mates Res me! Res me! Ah!
Starting point is 00:05:52 I'm being shot! Ah! On all hours of the day. Well, if you could enjoy Fortnite a little harder with this little thing I want to talk about at the gaming desk. It's a haptic suit. Now, haptics, like, because I when we got the PlayStation, I haven't, like, touched a PlayStation in years and I was holding the remote. It does so haptic suit. Now haptics, like, because I, when I, when we got the PlayStation, I haven't like touched a PlayStation in years
Starting point is 00:06:07 and I was holding the remote. It does so much more than it used to when you used to, when you used to put the, put the little click on pack at the back, rumble pack. The rumble pack in the Nintendo 64. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:06:17 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. Yeah, that's what haptics, they vibrate.
Starting point is 00:06:21 The new controllers are amazing. But it's every, 10 out of 10. Satisfaction guaranteed. I don't think... It's insane on the PlayStation 5. Different guns have different reactions. Like different trigger resistances.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All sorts of things. It's amazing. Well, there's a Spanish tech company. C. Owo. C. Owo.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Owo. O-W-O. It's the same noise some people make when they've got their rumble pack on. Your old rumble pack strapped on. And it's a full suit that you would put on your body, zip up. I'll say it looks like a biker's vest. You know, the tight biker's t-shirt zip up things. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And it's kitted out with all of these sort of electric pads so that when you are playing a game like Fortnite or, you know, like a fighting game or something, it'll hurt you. It'll literally actually allow you to experience not only sort of some of the like motion, but like pain. So if you got like a bullet to the shoulder. It'd shock you in that shoulder.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And you can have it up as high or as low as, I suppose as high as it goes. Or you can turn it down if you're a little. Would they be like those, you know, those massage pads that you pop on and they kind of contract your muscle? Would they be a bit like that? Yeah, I've got one of those.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Those are a bit. No, that's like, they're a little bit weeky-weeky. Right. They're saying it's quite intense. People are like, holy moly. Wow, okay. I've got these videos of people playing them being like, yeah! little bit weeky weeky they're saying it's quite intense people are like holy moly I saw one last week with some engineering
Starting point is 00:07:50 students there's a game I'm not sure of it it's a tank
Starting point is 00:07:53 based game you can play it two player where someone drives and someone
Starting point is 00:07:56 shoots and you go online and these engineering students built a tank
Starting point is 00:08:01 to sit in it and the guy that's shooting he's got to look through a full students built a tank to sit like. Oh, I saw that too. They sit in it. Yeah. And the guy that's using, you know, shooting, he's got to look through like a full periscope goggles. And when he, the whole thing goes like a tank's actually firing. I mean, where are you keeping this in the lounge? But they built it because the engineering students,
Starting point is 00:08:19 they had an assignment and they both loved this game apparently. So they were just like, let's just build it. And they built it. The reactions and everything. And it rumbles when they're driving it. Amazing. So phenomenal. Well, imagine having VR headset on and you're in a rumbling tank
Starting point is 00:08:30 and you've got this vest on that's shocking you every time you take a hit. It would be a bit much. You're almost in virtual reality. Even when you play Fortnite for a whole night, how many times would you die or get shot? Heaps. Heaps. Hundreds.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Hundreds. Friday night after a few Jamisons, it was pretty bloody shocking. A bit sloppy. It was very sloppy. Imagine each time you're getting this like... Too much.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I don't know, it'd make you play a bit. It'd pretty actually just make you play a more relaxing game. No, you'd just be hiding behind a rock. It would be like when you go to paintball,
Starting point is 00:09:01 you'd be hiding behind something waiting for people to come to you. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley's. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Hello.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Hello. A Kit Kat bar. I was just thinking, I've said sweet and savoury, but tomato sauce, when you think about it, tomato sauce is a very sweet sauce. Oh, very sweet. Tang though, tang sweet. Tang sweet. Yeah. Acidic sweet. The, uh, but a video is very popular on the internet. Now, there's
Starting point is 00:09:36 videos on the internet. Now, apparently this is a popular one. A tomato sauce being put on a Kit Kat and then a Kit Kat being in, as only a heathen does, just biting it, not snapping off the finger and then go. What in the fuck? That's just your mouth and the Kit Kat is the pencil. Yum. Well, it's gone crazy online, people trying it. Some people saying this is a very polarising opinion,
Starting point is 00:10:11 as everything on the internet is. Is this guy Australian that's doing this? I think so. Yuck. Yuck. Sorry. So I've got the top six other combos that tell me you might enjoy a little bit of the gunja. Let's face it. It's a stoner thing today, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:26 Weird flavour combos is the absolute... It's the domain of the stoner. It's the domain of the stoner. You're either a stoner or pregnant. Oh, yeah, okay. You know, people are like, I want pickles with peanut butter or something. Maybe that would actually...
Starting point is 00:10:40 That's a yum combo. God, the moment I said it out loud. That's actually a really yum combo. Yum. Something I had on a crusket. Pickles. Pickles, peanut butter. Cheese, pickles, peanut butter. Cheese. God, the moment I said it out loud. That's actually a really yum combo. Yum. Something I had on a crusket. Yeah. Pickles. Pickles, peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Cheese, pickles, peanut butter. Oh, yum. A little rock salt. Yeah. Oh, yum. I'm pregnant. Oh, no. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. Number six on the list of the top six sweet savory combos that tell me you might be pregnant. Yeah. Cheese balls dipped in chocolate. Like a fondue. Now, hang on. I'm not against that.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm not against it either. Crunch, light cheese dust crunch. Yeah. Dip it in a chocolate. Next time we have drinks, we'll melt some chocolate. Well, I haven't had any marijuana, so I can only be pregnant. Yeah, must be. Let's laugh about it until we confirm that's not happening.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Number five on the list of the top six sweet savoury combos that tell me you're either pregnant or a stoner are jam and pickles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Again, it's a sweet and savoury, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love buying those pickles that are sweet. Sweet and sour. They're sweet and sour. Basically sweet and sour
Starting point is 00:11:43 pickles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The best. Yeah, tangy dill. Yeah. You love a tangy d Yeah, yeah, yeah. The best. Yeah, tangy dill. Yeah. You love a tangy dill is what you're telling me. I love a tangy dill. I love a tangy dill.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Do you like a sliced, pre-sliced gherkin? It's got to be sliced. Always sliced. There's something right there. Oh, I like a whole. No, the whole gherkins are not as nice. I accidentally bought some. If I get a jar of whole gherkins, I'm eating them like a snack,
Starting point is 00:12:00 and they'll be gone in no time. But if they're sliced, I'm like, well, that's sandwich. It's going in a meal. Yeah. You're quite right, actually. It's just a mental like, well, that's sandwich. It's going in a meal. Yeah. You're quite right, actually. It's just a mental game, that one. It is. It's just a mental game. When was the last time you earned a jar of pickled onions? Never. Like, last week?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah, they were all like... Yeah, I love them. I'm bad. I start, I can't stop, and then I'm like, I've got a gut sake and my mouth's raw. Why? Because you've filled it with fermenting onions. You literally just ate a jar of onions and drank half of a jar of vinegar. Fermented food, good for gut health. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Good for you. Good for the gut. Number four on the list of the top six sweet savory combos that tell me either you're the stoner or pregnant. Bacon dipped in honey. Cook your bacon. Get it crispy. Dip it in the honey.
Starting point is 00:12:39 That's a classic. Honey cured bacon. Honey cured bacon. You cook the bacon, then you add the honey. A lot of like bacon waffles. Honey on anything. I can't do sweet chicken waffles. Neither.
Starting point is 00:12:50 No, I love them. Individually, all of these things are great, but I'm not like together enough for me. It's weird, eh? It's weird. Number three on the list of the toxic sweets, every combo that tell me you're either pregnant or enjoy. I don't know, Gunja.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Potato chips and peanut butter. Now, I believe there's a real chance this is a great combo, but you're going to struggle to find a chip strong enough to be dipped in peanut butter. Maybe a snack-a-changy. Snack-a-changy or a Murphy's thick cut. Yeah, those thick ones. I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Go ahead. Here's my theory. Yeah. Snack-a-changy is in the hands of Big Chip now. Yeah, it is. They've pulled back on the tang. Lee Hart's not making them in his garage anymore it is. They've pulled back on the tang. Lee Hart's not making them in his garage anymore. You reckon they've pulled back on the tang?
Starting point is 00:13:27 They've pulled back on the tang and they've made the Big Chip that bought it have made their thick cut salt and vinegar chips. It's like they've switched the tang. No. This is a... It's a chip-spiracy. This is quite a chip-spiracy.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I guarantee... I'm so sure that this is fact. I'll get a bag of each, and you will be like, that's what snacky-changy used to be like. It's like they just switched bags. No. I had some the other day, and they were delicious. So I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:13:55 It's my go-to chip. It means slowly tapering you off. Trust me, if you go to the... You reckon. All right. Okay. It's a fact. Fine, I'll buy chips today, I guess.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah, have some chips. Number two on the list of the top six sweet savoury combos that tell me you're either pregnant or stoner. Porridge and Marmite with Raro powder sprinkled on top. Yuck. I was out. I was into all of these. I've entertained everyone up till now.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah. Not this one. You think that's bad. Number one on the list of the top six sweet savoury combos that tell me you enjoy the gungery or you might be pregnant. And to be honest, I want to try this. Mayonnaise and banana. Dip a mayo.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I don't think that'll work. Dip a banana in a mayo. Mayonnaise requires crunch. Maybe a barbecued banana. You know, like a grilled banana. Kind of crystallised. It goes a bit caramelised. Caramelised.
Starting point is 00:14:40 No, but then the mayonnaise. Yoghurt, yes. My tang. No, I reckon it could work. Like a Kewpie mayo. Oh, yeah, K then the mayonnaise. Yogurt, yes. My tang. No, I reckon it could work. Like a Kewpie mayo. Oh, yeah, Kewpie mayo. That's magical mayo. It's magical mayo.
Starting point is 00:14:51 It is. That's good stuff. That is today's Sub 6. Now, we have followed with great interest the post-Baby Reindeer saga in which the real Martha, whose name is Fiona, got interviewed by P.S. Morgan
Starting point is 00:15:09 on an exclusive thing. Yeah. And we watched the whole thing while on air, while entertaining you, New Zealand. She is really, she's crazy. Amen.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Sounds like you're talking about charity work to me. Well, you're doing a bit of charity, the way you pitched that. Yeah, well, I... Giving, very giving. I've been sitting on a few charity things
Starting point is 00:15:30 I do want to bring up during the show. This isn't one of them. Okay. But this is... So Fiona Hovey, we watched it, and she came across quite poorly, and it's really obvious that she's a little bit unhinged. She's got problems, obviously.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I mean, obviously. I'm going to sue sue and she has now. Yeah. For $170 million she is suing Netflix for defamation. And she also wants like everything made from the show, right?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah. Is that what I saw as well? Yeah, she does because she's like, that's well, it's hard though because you're like, so you're admitting
Starting point is 00:16:01 this is your story because if you want a little cut as like intellectual property, you're saying that that all happened. Yeah, because she's saying, yeah. But now you're suing Netflix because it doesn't. Anyway, she's saying it's in damages. Defamation and damages. It is weird though that they didn't cast someone
Starting point is 00:16:17 that looked completely different because the casting. They did. And then we all saw the real Martha and we were like, ew. Oh, yeah, because I mean, literally. Spitting image. That was incredible casting.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah. So she's saying none of it happened. Everything in the show, she's like, none of that happened. But then she's got no case. If she's saying none of it happened and that's not me. Well, the creator, who is not only the creator of the show, but the victim of the story in real life, he's come out saying, I have all the emails.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I have these texts. I have this. I have proof. Proof. So I'm like, surely this is going to be quite a short little lawsuit. Netflix, you're telling me that the world's largest streaming company wasn't litigious in its... We're not putting this onto all of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I mean, all of these shows have legal teams going over them. Yeah. And checking them. Especially shows like this. They're saying they will defend the matter vigorously, Netflix. They will defend the matter vigorously and stand by Richard Gad's right to tell his story. Because it is his more than hers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:27 To be fair. But yeah, I'm like, what's funny is, like, in that interview, also in the show, she's like, I'm a lawyer. And then in the interview, she's like, I'm a very good lawyer. An extremely good lawyer. Extremely good. And then apparently the reason it's taken a bit of time
Starting point is 00:17:44 to get to this lawsuit is because she was trying to find a good lawyer. I was like, well then apparently the reason it's taken a bit of time to get to this lawsuit is because she was trying to find a good lawyer. I was like, well, if you were such a good lawyer, wouldn't you know other good lawyers who respect you and would happily represent you? Who did P.S. Morgan do another interview
Starting point is 00:18:00 with regarding this topic? Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah, it was somebody else. Here we go. Fiona Harvey's alleged first victim. Oh, right. That she worked for. So she is a lawyer, right?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yes. So this is Fiona Harvey's alleged first victim spoke to Piers Morgan three days ago. Laura Ray is a lawyer. Lawyer, the lawyer. Laura, the lawyer. Tough to say. It's blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Yeah, she was blah, blah, blah's law blog. Was left anxious and distraught. So, yeah, apparently she used to work for her, and then you and she didn't at all. Just went much the same, she said. Just bombarded. I don't know why. I'm just obsessed.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Like, I'm like, fantastic. Let the saga continue. It's a story that just keeps going. It never ends. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletchford and Hayley. Silly little boys.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Silly little boys. It is so silly, silly, silly. That the silly little boys. Silly little pole It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly doobie do Do you return your trolley to the bay?
Starting point is 00:19:18 Yesterday's Silly Little Pole. Yes. The trolley bay. Always? What if you're way at the other side of the car park and you're in a rush and no one's looking? Because they're scattered throughout the car park. I like giving it a push and trying a long shot.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Some of them, though, aren't scattered throughout the car park and they don't have bays for the backpacks. Oh, no. I always return. The only time I don't return sometimes is like an airport trolley. You know when you go to your car and you're like... Oh yeah, because they're far away as well. Give a little shove.
Starting point is 00:19:51 The supermarket always. Well, 97% of people think they do. Surely not. Get a grip. No way. Well, who's leaving all these bloody trolleys around? Yeah, you're telling me 3% of trolleys are left out? No, no, no. Also, what about when you're trying to put a half're telling me 3% of trolleys are left out? No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Also, what about when you're trying to put a half trolley in with the big trolleys and it doesn't fit? That's why there's generally two bays there. One's for the half trolleys, one's for the fatties. Well, sometimes there's not and it's a real jam. Hannah messaged in saying, I literally try and park near a trolley bay to begin with so it makes life easier. Oh, smart. Get one on the way out, drop it back in on the way home. Smart thinking.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Smart. Better living. Better living, everybody. Gemma said, because you have to put a pound in to use it and I want my quid back. Oh, she's overseas. Oh my God. Yes, you do. It's like an airport trolley's in America, always putting in the money.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Edinburgh was like that at supermarkets. Yeah. You had to put in a little coin. Is it because people steal them? Like a bond. Yeah. You do see a lot, like you do see some people wheeling around the city. They're very convenient.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Belongings in them. And you're like, well, I guess that's theirs now. Yeah. Yeah. They roll. Yeah. They roll death. Megan says, lazy.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Plain and simple if you're not putting it back. Disgusting. Yeah. Oh, wow. I used to and simple if you're not putting it back. Disgusting. Yeah. Oh, wow. I used to be the person that would go and collect them. Don't be that person who leaves them in weird places. Says Sam. See, so Sam's seen it.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Sam knows exactly. But Sam, you're a trolley boy. It's not. Without people leaving the trolleys around, you don't use it for this purpose. There's no job. No, but there is a job. It's getting them from the bay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And then taking them back to the store. Sorry to say that you were useless. I'd be interested to see if Sam would agree with the 3% of people not returning their trolleys. Yeah. I want to see what constitutes a weird place, like kind of up in the bark garden that's always at a supermarket car park. If I was to leave a trolley, I'd hoist it up onto the curb so it didn't roll into a car because I'm not a monster.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Oh, that's good. But the curb that you're referencing probably encroaches on a car park, which means a car's going to pull in and be like, oh, fuck. And have to get out and move it and then park it and then probably take that one maybe. If you're not returning your trolley to the bay, you weren't threatened by your parents as a child and it shows. This is Daryl.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Janelle said, based on my observation, there's a lot of big fat liars here. Yeah, agreed. Pete, I'm not a peasant.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Also, do you think Pete's not putting his back? He's not a peasant. He wants someone to do it for himself, do it for him. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:19 Lord Pete, Lord Pete, it probably is Lord Pete. He's not a peasant? Yeah, he's not a peasant. He won't be wheeling that back.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Michaela, okay, I'm calling bullshit on this because the amount of lazy people that actively watch, never take their trolley back, makes me think these stats are a lie. Hashtag triggered. You know what? But in saying that,
Starting point is 00:22:36 our people are good people. I'm just thinking we've got good listeners. You've got good listeners. Well behaved. Our followers are well behaved. Yeah, and our followers are well behaved. But if it was other radio stations, dare I say the rock.
Starting point is 00:22:48 The trash of the nation. Oh, 50-50. Maybe 40%. Oh, the rock listeners aren't returning their trolleys. Let's be honest. I heard they melt them down and sell them scrap. Probably, yeah. Probably.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Good money in that, though. Yeah. Might actually do it. Maybe we could get into it. But a scrap metal thief stealing shit and mounting it down a scrap. They'd see you coming a mile away. Hello, I've got some metal to sell. Hi, hello.
Starting point is 00:23:12 What kind of metal is it? Scrap. As you can see. Stolen. I mean, it's just metal, isn't it? It's my metal that I have got for myself. I found it. Marie said, I said I'd return them, but that's a little bit of a lie.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I don't return the Costco ones. Too big, too far. Costco doesn't have trolley bays. They've just got the foyer where the trolleys sit. Oh, okay. And outside there's some sort of loose cattle yard where they sit. It's every man for himself at
Starting point is 00:23:40 Costco. Yeah, it really is. I've been once. Also, I'm nearly out of Tide Pods. Oh, that's your problem. And I don't have a Costco membership because I didn't renew it. I'll get some. I'll get some. That's tough to do. Gareth says, I have even been known to rearrange and organise
Starting point is 00:23:56 the trolley so that they're all the same sizes. That's charity. That is charity right there. We have got an angel walking amongst us. Charitable. Gareth the Angel Man with his big beautiful feathered wings. Was that. Charitable. Gareth the Angel Man. Was that in the Bible? Gareth the Angel Man, yes. Gareth the Angel Man.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It's in Estherphippides. Estherphippides. Estherphippides, 1127. 2.9. 2.9, actually. Subtext clause for Gareth the Angel Man said unto Mary. Is there someone waiting in the car? Gareth, hurry up.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah. Gareth's missus is like, Christ's sake, it's not our problem. Gareth's like, I can't leave it like this. I'm named after the angel. They all must be even. Yeah. Yeah, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:24:40 He's a beautiful boy and we love having him. Kilda. To the producer's booth, where producer Gerard went out on a school night. G'day. Went out on a bloody school night. On a Sunday. Oh my God. The Lord's Day.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yep. Had to skip church for this one. Oh my God. Have you repented though? No, you didn't. Here's a forgiving Lord. Here's our forgiving Lord. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. See, this forgiving Lord. Here's our forgiving Lord. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:25:05 No, you didn't. So this is your new, you and the girlfriend have a new hobby. Yeah. So we've discovered that Paradise Ice is like five minutes from our flat. That's an ice skating rink. It is. It is, where you strap on the skates and you go skating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:20 But we don't go for the skating because we're pretty unco. Yeah. Or she more than me. Yeah. We went to watch some NZIHL ice hockey. I didn't even know we had this. It is bussin'. I saw on your social meds, actually, they were skating real fast.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I feel like ice hockey's got quite big in New Zealand in the last five or ten years. Or maybe I just know more people that are doing it. It's definitely come more into the public scope or whatever. Because I mentioned this to you before. Ice hockey is a whole sub-genre of smut book. You can hear Carwen in the background. She recommended me one.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Outrageous. And that's why I've sent you guys the West Auckland Admirals roster. Oh, yes, please. Hang on, hang on. Hang on, hang on. The West Auckland Admirals. Yeah, dog. Up the waz.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Is that your new team now? That's my team. That's my team. Oh, West Auckland Admirals. The waz. Are we worried about, remember, was it last year, that guy that got a... Oh, yeah, got the skate. Jesus, there's so many of them.
Starting point is 00:26:27 No, these are just boys, not men. No, there's a few men. Where are the men? It's funny, I think it's only because they were in ice hockey gear, they all look Canadian. They do. That's one of those things, if you put on an ice hockey jumper and you've got a moustache or a mullet, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:26:42 oh, yeah, that's obviously a Canadian. I've never encountered so many Canadians in the wild as I did last night. Just all around. Oh my god, they've got a mascot. Rusty Anchor Bottom. Yeah. Rusty Anchor Bottom.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Didn't you see one of those on a Sunday as well? You weren't in the eyes of him, but you saw somebody. Okay. They're all a little eyes of him, but you saw somebody. Vaughn, Alan, Smith. Okay. One of the other teams. They're all a little young for me, but I will say Bartek,
Starting point is 00:27:10 who were Toski. You'll find that with athletes now that we're older than them. Yeah, what happened? It's horrible. Do you know the coach of the Warriors is one month older than me? And what are you achieving? What a wake up. You do nothing but entertain thousands. I was just like, how old is Andrew Webb's Coach of the Warriors?
Starting point is 00:27:32 Fantastic. One of the weekend. And yeah, January 1982 and I'm February 1982. Wow. I'm just like, what? I'm even the same age as the people who were playing, not the coaching staff. I know.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I've always liked my men slightly older. As I get older, I might have to start looking at the salt and pepper puppies. Salt and pepper puppies. So is this a regular thing now? You're going to go to more games? We're going to go to as many home games as we can. You're going to do what I did when I got into NBA, which is like you're going to get merch.
Starting point is 00:28:01 You're going to start wearing all the stuff. So I've kept this on the down low for the past few years, but I have been an NHL fan for a long time. Right. Huge Edmonton Oilers diehard. Right. But now I've found... Edmonton Oilers.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Yeah, dog. They need better names. Better names, yeah. They could have workshopped that a little harder, but that's okay. Is there lots of oiling in Edmonton? There must be. Potentially.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Who knows? But it's also weird. It's like NBA teams have got their year, like, what's that name got to do with it and it turns out because they bought the team from another state
Starting point is 00:28:28 when that went up for sale and they moved it or it's racist yeah horrendously racist oh well good I think I may like to come along for one
Starting point is 00:28:37 Wellington I'm just looking at the teams in the NZIHL Auckland Marco is split between Paradise Ice Paradise Ice Avondale and Botany Downs. Yep. And then there's Botany Swarm. So there's like three Auckland teams, a Canterbury team, a Dunedin team and a Queenstown team.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Yeah, Queenstown's got a rink down there. I must say the WAS, West Auckland Admirals, absolutely dominated the Canterbury Red Devils last night. They don't hold on to the title of the WARS. If I come along, are there hot chips? There are hot chips. There is alcohol. There is stuff. What do you get?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Hot chips and alcohol. Are there any hot chips? Are there any hot chips? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Who just got engaged? You know when you open up your Instagram and you see someone there with like a finger like that? Congrats.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Was it someone you knew or just a random person? No, she wasn't. She was just covering her mouth. Anyway. There is a woman in... With her hand? She was covering her mouth with her hand. Anyway, there's a woman in England
Starting point is 00:29:41 and her name is Kate. And it's not Kate, it's Kelly. Her name is Kelly and she lives in England. And she suffers from... Hold on, let's just stop for a minute. No, I just got kerfuffled by the Instagram thing. Hard reset. Let's control ultimately.
Starting point is 00:29:55 She's pregnant. The woman covering her mouth. Yeah, she's like... Who's not Kelly from Britain. These are two entirely separate individuals. Entirely separate. My brain's split in half. She's pregnant. Phone's down.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Okay. Congratulations. Yeah. A woman, Callie, she's 42 years old. She lives in England and she suffers from a rare sleep disorder called parasomnia. Okay. Now I know insomnia. You can't sleep. You can't sleep? Parasomnia paralyzed?
Starting point is 00:30:23 No. Like sleep paralysis? Nocturnal shopping sprees. So it's abnormal behaviours while you sleep. So she walks a lot. She talks a lot. She like gets up and does things. Also, would sleepwalking be one of those? Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But because I follow, do you follow that woman who films herself? She's like blonde. She's got a motion activated. Yeah, and she's got like nighttime cameras on. She's like, huh, huh, huh. And she like talks to herself and she makes jokes? She's like blonde. She's got a motion activated Yeah, and she's got like night time cameras on. She's like, huh, huh, huh. And she like talks to herself and she makes jokes. It's really funny. This not so much because her like parasomnia leads her
Starting point is 00:30:53 to binge shop. Yeah. Go online and then like she'll wake up sometimes and have no memory of it and then a couple of weeks later all this shit arrives. So she has ordered a full sized... We've all heard this before, haven't we? A full sized... Shut up.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Plastic basketball court, tins of paint, books, salt and pepper shakers, a children's playhouse, fridges, tables and hundreds of packs of Haribo candies. Like gummy beers. Yeah. Can't eat too many of those, it'll go. No, they go right through you, those will. Oh my god, yeah. They're some of'll go. No, they go right through you, those will. they'll rip through you. Rip through you.
Starting point is 00:31:25 yeah, they're some of the best. Now, she's amassed like $6,000 worth of debt from sleep shopping and she can't do anything. She says she goes to bed being like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:31:36 what the hell is the night ahead? Because even if you, I mean, you'd need a partner to hide your credit cards and not save them in your browser and your laptop. Yeah. You'd have to like get a partner
Starting point is 00:31:44 to lock them away in a safe. It doesn Yeah. You'd have to get a partner to lock them away in a safe. It doesn't say whether or not she has a partner. She has kids. I mean, you said she's buying stuff for the kids. Yeah, so maybe. She's got three kids. But then would that just turn to other behaviour?
Starting point is 00:32:00 She's buying weird stuff. She's not buying a leather jacket that she told her partner she really wanted and then it turns up and she's like, oh, it must have been in my sleep. Well, but, you know, I've just listed off some of the things. Oh, you know, those gummy bears are from six months ago, Vaughn. Yeah. Yeah, I've had those gummy bears for ages.
Starting point is 00:32:15 You know what I mean? I've literally had these for so long, you're out of your mind. Do you remember I took those gummy bears to that wedding? Do you know what's... Oh, that's right. I wore the gummy bears to the wedding, so I've already worn it. So she can't take sleeping pills because some of her children have different abilities,
Starting point is 00:32:29 disabilities and abilities, so she needs to kind of be alert for them in the middle of the night. She once, this is terrible, she once overdosed on diabetes medication during her sleep. In her sleep, she took all this insulin. I guess.
Starting point is 00:32:46 She thought they were like lollies or something. She's also left like windows and doors open. That's quite a lot. In her sleep. She needs to be strapped in. Yeah. Yeah, I know. She gets into bed,
Starting point is 00:32:58 she needs to be strapped in. Yeah, I know. That's crazy. Why don't you wake up and need to go wheeze when you just have to go. She's also fallen for fraud. Oh, yeah. In that time, like people have messaged being like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And because she's half asleep, she's like, okay. Yeah, woke up and like a thousand dollars was missing from her bank account. And then she looks through her phone and she's like, I texted my staff. Because this is an actual thing, you're saying that you could say to Aaron I don't mean to sort of utilise a debilitating sleep disorder to my own advantage but, you know, you could
Starting point is 00:33:34 pepper it throughout the week Just say, I didn't know what I was doing isn't this leather jacket nice I recently read an article about a woman who suffers from sleep shopping, perhaps. Aaron, that's what's happened to you. He's not buying that though, is he?
Starting point is 00:33:50 He doesn't buy any of it. Every time, like, I think he lets stuff go. I've done the whole like, he's like, is that new? I'll be like, no, I've had this for ages. And then he mentioned recently, he was like, I always know that you're lying. We do, we do. You're just like, choose whether or not to bring it up
Starting point is 00:34:05 or just be like, whatever. Is it worth an argument? Is it worth the fight? Yeah. Can we wrap up this break? Because I'm adding to cart at the moment. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, at the weekend, we were going to some leaving drinks
Starting point is 00:34:18 for a friend. Toddy's off overseas. One of our friends. Wednesday. Yeah. And so he was having some drinks. And Morgan and I, friend of the show, Morgan Penn, sexologist. I don't know if you've heard sex.life of our friends. Wednesday. Yeah, and so he was having some drinks and Morgan and I, friend of the show,
Starting point is 00:34:27 Morgan Penn, sexologist, I don't know if you've heard Sex.Life, the podcast. I'm a host of Sex.Life. Have you heard that podcast? Nah, I'm a bit more, I will say I'm a bit of a prude. You're a bit of a prude.
Starting point is 00:34:35 For me, that was a little racy hearing two women talking about positive sex lives. You know, it's not for me. Yeah. You know, have some decorum. It's weird because you're one of the hosts. That made it extra hard.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Oh, I know. The whole time I kept being like, ooh, too far, too far. Stop it. Anyway, so we're in this Uber and the Uber driver's in the bus lane and what happened next I would describe as low-level Fast and the Furious.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Oh my gosh, Tokyo Drift. Because he's in the bus lane and obviously he realises he can't be in the bus lane ahead because there are cameras everywhere. Doesn't want to find. So he drags off
Starting point is 00:35:11 the car next to us when the light turns green. Yeah. And we're not in a fast car. We're in an Uber. I don't know if it was a Prius. I don't think it was a Prius. Toyota.
Starting point is 00:35:21 It was similar. Maybe it was an Aquar. And Carl, when you've got an Aquar, how are those at the lights power-wise? They don't really drag off, Prius. It was similar. Maybe it was an Aquar. And, Carwin, you've got an Aquar. How are those at the lights, power-wise? They don't really drag off, do they? They're not fast cars. No, I love to drag someone off in my Aquar.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Really? Especially, you know, when there's like two lanes and they merge into one. Yeah, well, that's what was happening here, basically. Because they don't expect it. They're like, boom. But does it have the power? Yeah. Incredible. It's hybrid. They're pretty gutsy. Yeah, well, I don't know. Because they've got expect it. And they're like, boom. But does it have the power? Yeah. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:35:46 It's hybrid. They're pretty gutsy. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I don't know. Because they've got nothing in them. I don't know what this is, but it wasn't. And it was getting to the stage where both cars were even pretty much.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And we were just nudging ahead at this moment. And then he kind of just started pulling into the lane, making the car behind us very angry. And so we're in the, it's so awkward when, like it's fine when you're driving and you cut someone off. You're just like, I don't care. Yeah. But when you're in the Uber and then the person's getting angry, like you're just like.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Oh, not me, not me, not me. It's not me. And then like the guy behind is tooting, very angry. Why is he so angry? The Uber driver winds down his window and then with a big smile, he's like waving at him. I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:36:31 now he's taunting him. He's baiting him. I'm like, now we're going to get like rammed off the road. I'll give him a tip. Yeah. I'll give him a tip at the end. If you want a tip,
Starting point is 00:36:40 go straight to him. I'm like, heck yeah, that was a sort of aggression we need on our roads. I liked it, but it's weird when it's an Uber driver. I've definitely been in aggressive Ubers before.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Also, there's a road, oh, sorry, a windy road to my house. It's 60K. And a lot of the time, they'll hone like a Hyundai over there because it's like a country road
Starting point is 00:36:58 and they think that. And I'm always like, calm down, man. And then, yeah, there's always speed cameras. But then also, you get home faster, so it's less money.
Starting point is 00:37:08 But I've definitely had people, like, toot at me when I'm in an Uber, and I'm like, that's not my bad driving. Also, sidebar, my Uber rating has dropped to a 4.90, and it's ever since I've known Hayley Sproul. No, I haven't been in one of your Ubers for ages. That's dropped since the last time I was in an Uber with you. Has it? And I've been well behaved in my Ubers as of late.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I'm blaming my friends. Classically. This is why you've got 4.9. You won't take accountability. That's why. Mine's 4.82. Yeah, mine's 4.86. So you're all right.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Yeah, but you've been trying to claw back from that time your wife spewed in one. She had a chunny in the back. She spewed in one. So you've dropped. Because that's given you a one star there, you know. So you've got a long way to go to average that back up. Why would I? I mean, yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Statistically, I'm not a statistics or maths person, but will I ever get it back to a five? No. I will never, ever have a five. You're up in tainted. You can't get 100%. But what's the best I can get from now? Am I, if everyone gave me a five. You just need to catch more Ubers at fives.
Starting point is 00:38:08 If you did an infinite amount of Uber rides at five out of five, it would drag it so close that it would go to a third decimal point and at that stage it would probably say you're five. But you'd know deep down you're a 4.9992. Yeah, right. That's quite heartbreaking, isn't it? That I'll never be a five again. You'll never.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And it's all because of my loose-lipped friends. No, being a five is a boring way to live life. I'm always respectful when I'm in one of your Ubers and we're talking. You have. Carrying on. You are. I have massaged the head of a bald Uber driver before. So, you know.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And what did that get you? Did that get you a five or a three? Got me a hot date. Got me a hot old date. Did it. I didn't mean to say old in there. No. Now, I was actually just sharing that I had
Starting point is 00:39:07 I was wrapping something up on Saturday night And there was a party And I made the decision not to go I am so impressed In the interest of my Sunday And finance And yes I have been very run down recently Well you've been working like 8,000 different things.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I decided not to go. I said no to our party. I've never been prouder. Is this maturity? Apparently. Well, Vaughn said, because there was also a party on Friday night that you went to
Starting point is 00:39:38 and I was working till 11.30ish and I was like, well, maybe I'll go to the party and Vaughn said he'll be very disappointed in me if I didn't go to that party. Wow. Well she had a full Saturday as well and she was already burning candles. We said last week it wasn't even burning candles
Starting point is 00:39:54 at both ends, you were just a waxy puddle on the floor. I said no to two parties this week and apparently shit like this behaviour is on the rise and people are turning their Friday night drinks into Friday night running groups. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Have you ever been, we're in Auckland, and on Ponsonby Road, on a Friday night, it's heaving. Yeah. And there's bars and people like spill out on the street. Yeah. All that kind of stuff. Have you ever been on Ponsonby Road and someone ran past on a Friday night?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Because I have. And it's the most obscure view. It's the most obscure thing to witness. Yeah, because everybody... When you're sitting outside a bar, having a little wine, and someone's like... in the pavement.
Starting point is 00:40:37 People only run down Ponsonby Road so other people see them running down Ponsonby Road. Now, that might be a controversial opinion, but I'll die on this. Yeah, but what if they just need to get back home? But that's why you're also on Ponsonby Road having a drink, to be seen having a drink on Ponsonby Road. We're all just in Ponsonby to be seen.
Starting point is 00:40:51 It's the worst. So there's all these clubs popping up around the world. There's stories from Cape Town, California, London, New Zealand, Australia. There's people making these running groups called Midnight Runners, and they get together on a Friday night. But why is it midnight? Why are groups called Midnight Runners. Yeah. And they get together on a Friday night. But why is it midnight? Why are they called Midnight Runners? Because I guess you're replacing your Friday night boozy out late thing.
Starting point is 00:41:15 With like this midnight run. Oh, yeah. I'm like, do eight. Do eight and then go out. Or run on your lunch break or run before work and then go out and have some wines. Yeah. But it's about being healthy that way. It's about being healthy.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's about replacing your wines. That's cool. So they're everywhere. No, you earn your wines. That's how I convince myself to exercise. Okay. You're sort of doing the good stuff to even it out later on. Yeah, blank it out.
Starting point is 00:41:38 So it's actually like, it's an actual like thing you can be part of. I mean, you can go for a run whenever you like or you can join this midnight runners thing. I guess it's kind of cool with people. 19 cities worldwide. People all meet up on a Friday night in lieu of drinks and go for a run on a Friday night.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I've never gone running in a group. I would hate that. I'm slow. But that's all right. You just find your pace people, right? They say a lot of young people are doing it because run talk's quite big on TikTok. It is all right. You just find your pace people, right? They say a lot of young people are doing it because run talk's quite big on TikTok. Yeah, it is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Gen Z's alcohol consumption has dropped 25%. They'll be laughing when their bloody knees are poked and their lower back's sore. You will be the ones laughing. Ankles are all swollen. Because we had all the wine instead of going for a run. We had some cheese. They'll be in hospital next to you getting their knee replaced
Starting point is 00:42:23 while you're getting your liver. Yeah, my heart. My heart. Vents put in. I mean, I don't want to poo-poo it. Why not, you know? If you want to, on your Friday night, go for a run, it's great. You'll feel amazing the next morning.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Yep. Other than, you know, some light shin splints and sort of a sore tush. And that problematic growth plate you had as a teenager really reignited. Let's just say I won't be giving it a go, but good for those that celebrate. Those that don't, yep. All the best. 26 minutes to 8. Next on the show is 27 to 8.
Starting point is 00:42:57 26 minutes to 8. Stop being a brat, Vaughn. 26 minutes away from 8. I thought we've got some tradies around the house, and I thought the other day on Friday I was just like, I'm going to throw a curveball. Okay. I thought we've got some tradies around the house, and I thought the other day on Friday, I was just like, I'm going to throw a curveball. Okay. I'm going to throw the tradies a fat curveball.
Starting point is 00:43:10 They throw plenty our way. Sort of revenge for how many tradies threw you curveballs. Got some tradies in and out of our place at the moment. Doing some trade stuff. Oh, what a blessing. Yeah. Stuff that I was like, I can do that, but it'll need to get redone in six months
Starting point is 00:43:32 and it's going to cost more that way. So you just couldn't do that is what you're saying. Not long term. Not long term. But I was inside and I was heading out. I was going to go for a run, funnily enough. Oh, wow, good for you. You know, the Friday night run club.
Starting point is 00:43:47 What, you think you're better than me? But then I had to go in there and be like, hey, I'm just going to be gone for a bit. Is that all good? And then I was like, oh, I look weird because I'm in run. And then I got a bit self-conscious about it. I was like, I'm going to have to go in there all in like, you know, the boots and stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And I've got this like little singlet on. And you wear a G-string. He wears a G-string too. Yeah, I was like, oh, that's going to stuff. And I've got this like little singlet on. And you wear a G-string. He wears a G-string too. Yeah, I was like, oh, that's going to be weird. And so I was like. And no shorts over the top, by the way. That's all sorts of weird stuff. They're tradies.
Starting point is 00:44:13 They're in people's houses. Oh, yeah. All the time. Mm-hmm. Yeah. A food just fell out of Hayley's mouth. I see when Amanda Wren just, she went. Anyway, so I got a little self-conscious
Starting point is 00:44:28 and then I convinced myself this will be fine. Imagine the things they've seen. Yeah, imagine the things they've seen. So I went out and I said, I'm just heading out. And they were like, oh, yeah. And I was like, ah. And then I did this awkward thing. I was like, I'm just going for a run.
Starting point is 00:44:43 And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, we can see that. No, it feels like you're bragging. And I was like, ah. So for a run and they're like oh yeah yeah we can see that and I was like I debated whether or not even to come in here why are you digging a hole just leave
Starting point is 00:44:52 and I was like but then I was like I bet you guys have seen some weird things yeah and the main trader was like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:44:58 but then the apprentice was like yep and he spun around and was like here he is and I was like what
Starting point is 00:45:04 and he's like, okay, lots. But the weirdest thing would be we were at an old lady's house. And she said, my husband's not here at the moment. And we're like, oh, okay. And so we were just da-da-da-da. And then she came in and said, my husband's back. He'd like a word. And they're like, oh, yeah, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:45:22 And she says, yeah, so here he is. And points at nothing. And he's like, oh, yeah, okay, cool. And she says, yeah, so here he is and points at nothing. And he's like, I beg your pardon? And she's like, he's here. He just wanted to say, he just wanted to ask a couple of questions about the job. Oh. And the apprentice is like, okay, what does he want to know? I'm not telling this lady that her dead husband's not there. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Because she thinks he's there. Good for him to just be like. But he said the weirdest thing was she'd look at him and nod and then sort of translate to the. Yeah. She was speaking in terms. Yeah. That applied to the role.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Oh, stop it. Applied to the job. And then stop it. Applied to the job. And then I was just like, what the hell? And he's like, yeah, she knew like technical terms of the sort of work we were doing. He wants to know what the da-da-da-da. Yeah, he's wondering why you're doing this rather than doing it that way.
Starting point is 00:46:17 The husband's real. Is that what you're saying? The ghost is real. No, I'm not saying the ghost is real at all. Is that what you're saying? So you're finally admitting the ghost is real. We came to the conclusion that she must have just by proxy picked up a whole lot of this over her lifetime. real at all. Is that what you're saying? So you're finally admitting that ghosts are real? We came to the conclusion that
Starting point is 00:46:25 she must have just by proxy picked up a whole lot of this over her lifetime because she was married to a tradie. Would have instantly just upped the bill on this crazy lady because she's not going to know her text. She's playing ghost text. Having to go into other people's homes would be so weird. The smells,
Starting point is 00:46:42 the... The smells! I never thought of it as smells. Everybody's house smells different. The shrines, the like odd rooms, you know, the bloody grow lights in the garage. I mean, you'd see a lot. Because we went into it. Portraits, people have.
Starting point is 00:46:56 We went into an open home once and walked in and the people who lived, it was like all their stuff was still in it. It was full of their stuff. Walked in and you open the front door and straight ahead, swastika. But it wasn't the swastika. It was the Buddhist. The reversed Hindu.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah, the Hindu. You see it in Bali when you're like, hey! Brother! And I was like, ha! And I went like that when I saw a swastika. Very, but then I was like, oh, okay, no, no, no. But Sade didn't, she just saw a swastika. She didn't know it had another meaning.
Starting point is 00:47:29 So we were at the house and we walk out and she's like, did you see that swastika? I was like, it's the Sanskrit one, it's reversed. When I was a legal teenager, I may have been skipping school to spend some time at my boyfriend's house when his parents weren't home. Okay. And to have a bit of fun.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And we heard the door click. And I remember being like, well, it's all over. Your lovely Christian mother's walked in. Yeah. Here I am in the middle of a school day. Yeah. And a builder busted. And we were like, oh.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And he was like, oh, my God. I'm so sorry. We were like, no, we're just glad it's you. Wait, he busted into the room? Not just the house? Oh, wow, okay. Let's just say, yes, yes. Were you in the lounge?
Starting point is 00:48:10 Yeah. Oh, hey. You're always a short blooded. But you would see some weird things. You would see some stuff. Yeah, and that's what we want to know from the tradies or people who are often in other people's homes this morning. Real estate agents, cleaners.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Service technicians. Imagine real estate agents. You go around because someone's like, we're thinking of selling our house. We want like an appraisal. And so you go in and it's just like. House valuers. What's in there?
Starting point is 00:48:31 Yeah, you would see some crazy things. Even people dropping off groceries. Open the door. Yeah, couriers. Couriers. You'd see some stuff. Couriers. Or stop at the door though.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Yeah, but you'd still get to glance. Sometimes you open it. Yeah. That'd be enough. I wonder if the people will get in their bedrooms. I wonder if the people will get in their bathrooms. I wonder what the people that get in their bedrooms, I wonder what the people that get in their bathrooms,
Starting point is 00:48:46 I wonder what the people that get in their cupboards. We want to take your calls now. 0800 DALSATAM text through 9696. If you have had a
Starting point is 00:48:54 job or you have a job where you have to go into people's houses, what is the weirdest, wildest, craziest things you've seen? Or experienced.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Yeah. Maybe you were in this lady's house and her dead husband was giving you some tips on how to do your job better. You might not have seen him. Imagine what it was like when he was alive standing over the trees and he's dead and he's still bloody pestering them. We'll play five on time soon. The Activator
Starting point is 00:49:15 in the next ten minutes. This is one of those phone-in topics we may regret asking. I don't think so. Some amazing messages coming through. We want to know the weirdest, wonderful, craziest things you've seen in somebody else's house. Yeah, for whatever reason you're there. Tradies, you're often inside, you know, some intimate spaces.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Rebecca, this was your husband that saw something in somebody else's house. Yeah. So he sounds like he comes to an installation and has to go and scope out the houses to, you know, install it. And he went underneath someone's house and there was a human skull. Oh, shut up. In fairness, Rebecca, when I built the deck, I thought about putting a full, like, fake skeleton under the deck so one day when someone pulled down the deck...
Starting point is 00:50:02 We were going to put a fake skeleton in our walls between the walls and the jib. That's nice. Was it real? Yeah, so it was real. The lady hadn't said anything to him before he went down there. So obviously he took photos because you do that
Starting point is 00:50:16 and called the police later and there was nothing kind of suspicious about it. They said that it was just a registered human cadaver that this lady was allowed to have. But why was it under the house? Oh, my God, that reminds me. Actually, I've got to get a registration on my human cadaver. It's run out.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah, but you can't just murder someone and then apply for registration. Yeah, but I can't get my warrant of fitness on my cadaver until I've got my registration. That's wild. That is insane. But why did she say she had it under the house if it's like a thing she's allowed to own? He didn't actually like confront her about it.
Starting point is 00:50:49 He was like, this is dodgy. So yeah, later did some investigation and apparently it was all fine. Did she end up getting the hate pump? I believe so. Oh, yeah, nice. You just lose the business. I mean, God, if the skin's falling off these skeletons,
Starting point is 00:51:04 there must have been a damn house. That's so stupid. If you want your skeleton to last, it's got to be a warm, dry environment. It's got to be a warm, dry environment. Yeah, so a heat pump is ideal for that. Thank you, Rebecca. Some messages in.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I worked as a support worker for a few years. Now, community nurses, support workers, the people that go to people's houses to help these people out because obviously getting around is a problem and they can't look after themselves. I cannot tip my hat. Enough.
Starting point is 00:51:31 My hat's so tipped, it's on the damn ground. My mother-in-law did this for a while and she has the wildest stories from her time as a community nurse. The wildest. So this person's a support worker a few years ago. It was shower day for an old lady that I looked after.
Starting point is 00:51:45 When she bent to take her knickers off, a bit of poop fell out and then her little dog, I was like, oh dear, and I went to grab some toilet paper to grab it and her little dog just flew in out of nowhere, scooped up the poop and ran out with it. That is disgusting. You know, the problem problems dealt with now.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I know. You know? Somebody else said they were working for the census and they'd gone to pick up the census from somebody and they knocked on the front door and as they knocked, the door swung open a little bit and they stuck their head in and they're like, hello, and they just looked down the hallway
Starting point is 00:52:18 and just saw two people humping on the floor of the hallway. Humping on, oh, that's hot. Good for you. On the floor of the hallway? You just can't wait. Is that two people in this household? And what's your average income?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah, can you just let me, I can see that you're straight. I can see that we're not religious. Heterosexual. Because the good Lord does not condone of that position. We're talking about the weirdest thing.
Starting point is 00:52:39 If you're a tradie or your job involves going into other people's houses, the things that you've seen, Sarah messaged in, I had a friend who was a tradie who was asked to go around and do some work on a rental property.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Imagine his horror when he arrived and there was a hole cut in the kitchen floor with a lid on it. What? A lid on it, the hole in the kitchen floor. And he lifted up the lid and the family had pigs living underneath the house.
Starting point is 00:53:04 It was a pig flap. And all the kitchen scraps went straight down the hole to feed the pigs and the pigs living underneath the house. It was a pig flap. And all the kitchen scraps went straight down the hole to feed the pigs and the pigs lived under the house. It's quite genius when you think about it. No. It saves you going outside. Oh for God's sake. And the pigs would poo everywhere under the house. It would freaking reek.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Do you think you're getting your bond back on that? Nah. They weren't allowed to stay in that house much longer apparently because they did the work and then reported it to the landlord and said did you know that there bond back on that? Nah. They weren't allowed to stay in that house much longer apparently because they already did the work and then reported it to the landlord and said, did you know that there's pigs living under the house? And that was news to them. And I'm imagining this is in a suburb somewhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:36 I was fixing up an electrical problem in somebody's cupboard and when I got there they were like frantically cleaning out the cupboard. And I said, I also need to go into the ceiling. And then the absolute color dropped out of the guy's face. And he's like, yeah. And so we went up and apparently they just dragged all of their sex stuff, including a couple of penis pumps out of the cupboard and just chucked it in the up into the ceiling space to get out of the way. But of course they need to get up in the ceiling space to make sure the light was running so Abbie had to crawl
Starting point is 00:54:06 over all of the sex stuff but then went down and pretended they hadn't seen anything but it was all pretty obvious what had happened. My partner is a
Starting point is 00:54:14 mechanic. The car. Oh yeah. That's the thing right isn't that a job interview you walk them to their car and you look into
Starting point is 00:54:23 their car because the car is a fairly good reflection of the sort of person you're dealing with? Oh, that wouldn't work for me because I'd be taking the bus home or my bike. Yeah, that'd be really embarrassing. Yeah, that'd be embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Yeah, really embarrassing. One of the most embarrassing. Especially because whenever you're on your bike and you're mad because you always just chuck the rubbish at your foot. He does. Don't you? You've got the foot well on your bike. Your pedals are full of all the rubbish and stuff
Starting point is 00:54:46 rather than just cleaning out your car. My partner's a mechanic. He sees some shit. A boot full of dirty diapers, like literally full. That's disgusting. He's also popped the boot and found small digital scales and a copious amount of drugs, machetes, a baseball bat with a suspicious bloodstain on it.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And you'd be surprised how many people are rocking around with multiple adult toys in their car. And people don't even... I haven't even thought of that. Yeah. Especially the person who, when they bought their car for the warren of fitness, did not change their novelty gear stick
Starting point is 00:55:19 that was indeed an adult fun toy. Were you hopping on that thing? The mind boggles, Sproul. The mind boggles. Consider my mind boggles. It would have to be quite girthy. Otherwise, it might be too small for a gear stick. Because I like a big girthy gear stick.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Yeah, same. I like a rounded head. You know, like a big head. You want a big head on it. That's for sure. It would need to be manual too. You wouldn't want the automatic because that's always a... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:44 You need one of those manual ones that's got like this sort of leathery sack at the bottom that sort of wiggles around in there. Yeah. Or actually, you could go balls up. Oh, that actually made a great point there, balls up. No, but then how you get... You know what I mean? Then it serves no purpose.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah, true. Take it off, spin it around. How bizarre. Put a back on the balls up. You've got a great point there, balls up. If you want better grip from a phallic gear stick, balls up. Great from you.
Starting point is 00:56:10 A little bit of hot overflow from this one. Yeah, because there's a lot. And there's some that we probably can't read out on here. Yeah, you can imagine how bad they were given that we just described balls up, penis, gear stick. It could be a whole lot worse. So we'll put it on the podcast feed. See you there
Starting point is 00:56:25 Well it's been debated It's been talked about It's been thrown around It's been For years Financially denied It's been Lauded
Starting point is 00:56:36 Decided against And then And now it's happened Well have you got An air fryer Oh god Well at least it's not another Years late to got? An air fryer. Oh, God. Well, at least it's not another. Years late to the party.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Did you get the Kmart one? Nah. Fly-bys. Did you get a fancy one? Did you get a fancy one? I want a Kmart one. Cashed in the fly-bys. Did you?
Starting point is 00:56:56 Because we talked about this last week. Fly-bys is shutting down. Yeah. So everybody's cashing in their points. Yeah. So did you do that? You cashed in? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I got the gas points. Petrol points. What are they called? Oh, you got the petrol points. The discount points. Yeah. So did you do that? You cashed in? Yeah. Oh, I got the gas points, petrol points. What are they called? Oh, you got the petrol points, the discounted thing with your flybys. So you've got one? Yeah, I've had one for ages. I use it maybe once a year. Really?
Starting point is 00:57:16 Yeah. It's just not, I like to cook and I feel like people are like, wow, it's so crispy. And you're like, yeah, but you can cook like that. If you know how to cook, you can cook things well. I know. Without this ugly robot spaceship on your counter. That's why I can't get one.
Starting point is 00:57:33 I don't have the room for it. Nah, yeah, it's not good. Like our kitchen's borderline too small for it because we don't have a butler's pantry. Well, where else is the butler going to go? He just lives in the lounge. I don't want the butler in the kitchen. He sits in the lounge waiting for instructions. He gets under my feet
Starting point is 00:57:49 and I wish I could build him his own pantry. Well, you've got to give him his own pantry. But we just happened to have one overhead cupboard that fits the pressure cooker and the air fryer. Pressure cooker rules as well. So why did you cut sprouts? Oh, yeah. Had those in the air fryer. Oh, yeah, Pritchcock rules as well. Pritchcock rules as well. Yeah. So why did you cut sprouts?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Oh, yeah. Had those in the air fryer. But you can just do them in a pan. Why are you good at that? It is super convenient. Yeah, it is. It is. I feel like you're four years too late.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I know. I know. I'm miles behind. It's embarrassing, actually, we're doing a break on an air fryer. It is, really. Yeah, it is. But we finally caved. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:26 And did a pork roast in there. Did you get a big one? No, it's got two drawers. It's got two drawers. So you can do two. Oh. But can you do one big one with both drawers? No, you can sink them.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Oh, yeah. So the pork roast we cut in half and put half in each. And then because Shana's always like You're putting too much seasoning on That's what she always says She doesn't know anything So half of it got absolutely caked In like barbecue rubs And the other half was just a classic salted
Starting point is 00:58:53 I've got to say the cracker was better on the plain salt Yeah salt is the best cracker On the plain one Not usually a crackling guy But there was crackling And so it made it all perfect Made it all It did It did.
Starting point is 00:59:07 It annoys me that it's lived up to my expectations. I wanted to poo-poo it. I wanted to be like, not as good as if you'd done it XYZ method, but have you done some fries or wedges in there? Are they good as well? Yes, sir. I would love one of these. The nuggies.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yeah. Do you know what? Nuggies with butter chicken. We't borrow mine. The nuggies. Yeah. Do you know what? Nuggies with butter chicken. We should do that again. Do you know what I did for a little bit of a treat? A little bit of self-care? Yeah. Tots.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Tots. We love tots. We love the tater tots. The tots spot. And you just, every now and then, just pull the thing out and give it a shake, chuck it back in. Bob's your uncle.
Starting point is 00:59:42 It annoys me how good it is. It annoys me. It's lucky it's ugly. It's lucky it's ugly. It's lucky it's an ugly appliance or it'll probably be my favourite appliance. It'll be on the counter all the time. Yeah, yeah. If they made it good. And then Carwin tells us, who's got a range of kitchen? She's eating.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton has a range of. Oh, okay. Like Barbie pink or like more baby pink. So she's got everything. Yeah, it's baby pink. But does it look nice though? Because they do. they look so massive.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Yeah. I might cook because I'm really in the mood because I've been busy. I haven't really cooked much. I'm really in the mood to make an impressive meal tonight. Yeah, that's good stuff. Maybe I'll do a bit of air fryer stuff. You know, put something in there.
Starting point is 01:00:19 It is. Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. You know the Brussels where you mix it up with a bit of oil and a bit of salt and a bit of pepper and then they like crisp up. That was... A bit of bacon. That was going on. It is. Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. You know the Brussels where you mix it up with a bit of oil and a bit of salt and a bit of pepper and then they like crisp up. That was... A bit of bacon. That was going on. It is.
Starting point is 01:00:29 We're nearly halfway through the year and you haven't used your air fryer this one time a year. So maybe now's the time. Okay, I'll do it tonight. I'll air fry something. Do you know what's good in the air fryer? Salmon. I bet it crisps it up.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Seven minutes. Seven minutes. And it's like this. Yeah, that's good stuff. Not dry, but not slimy, wet. Yep. Crumpets with condensed milk in the air fryer. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:00:52 I mean, have some respect for yourself. Do you know what I mean? Have some respect for yourself. Has somebody just messaged in? Somebody just messaged in. So where? I'm trying to get my shit together. You can't be talking to me about crumpets.
Starting point is 01:01:01 I went off the air fryer. It did blow me out at the weekend. Because you've been on a vibe. I've been on a vibe and it was a silly carbohydrate heavy weekend, but you need one of those every now and then. So I'm imagining you put the crumpet on his bum. Bubbles up. Bubbles up.
Starting point is 01:01:16 And then you fill the bubbles with sweetened condensed milk. Oh my God. And then so, but would that carry on? Who's that at the door? It's the four KGs. It's back. Yeah, jump straight back on. Do you know if you can go a little bit more dumper than gut and tit this time,

Starting point is 01:04:33 No. Now, I'll share this article, but only for the listeners, not for you. It's to spite you. Okay. There is a guy who received a stern warning from a bank and it said, Hi, Joe.
Starting point is 01:04:44 You have recently marked payments, Taliban trading and ISIS training. Now, while we appreciate that you're probably having a joke with your friends, we're obliged to investigate such matters, which is time consuming. Be assured your friend's bank will be doing the same. This is a polite request to ask you to cease marking payments
Starting point is 01:05:08 in this matter. Thanks for this cooperation. Kind regards, the bank. So actually, like, because, you know, I do a bit of a silly reference. No, I've never even thought about the terrorism thing, but that's, I mean, I'm imagining if you're funding terrorism, you're not putting that it's actually for terrorism.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Yeah. No, I always do, like, weekend lovemaking if you're funding terrorism, you're not putting that it's actually for terrorism. Yeah. No, I always do, like, weekend lovemaking, you know, or, like, little sex session. Or, like, drug reference. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing to do with drugs. Guns, guns, drugs. Yeah, a pound of meth, and you're like, I just shouted you lunch, you bitch.
Starting point is 01:05:39 But this, like, he got a serious warning. And then his friends said the same. They got the thing from their bank being like, look, you know, you are actually wasting our time here. And it's not just that. Oh, poor banks. I know. And really, my heart goes out to them.
Starting point is 01:05:54 But this happened the other day to a friend who was applying for a mortgage. Oh, yes. And then printed out all the things. And a friend had done the same thing, just like paid him like 30 bucks back for dinner that he paid for on his card for everybody and made a drug reference.
Starting point is 01:06:09 And he's like, oh my God, I'm applying for a mortgage. Yeah, I'm trying to buy a house and you're making me look like I'm a drug dealer. Yeah, yeah. I know. You do have to be careful. If I was a bank, I'd actually give money to a drug dealer
Starting point is 01:06:19 because you know they're always going to have money for the mortgage. Yeah, true. That's a thriving industry. But not if you're in prison. You can't pay your mortgage when you're in prison. Oh, they've got a bit of a cash reserve. Yeah, true. That's a thriving industry. But not if you're in prison. You can't pay your mortgage when you're in prison. Oh, they've got
Starting point is 01:06:27 a bit of a cash reserve. Yeah, you've got cash reserve overseas. You've dug a hole and there's some cash there somewhere. Yeah, just let your bank manager know
Starting point is 01:06:34 where it's at. Well, maybe think twice when you're doing these silly references. Ask if there's going to be anyone looking over their bank accounts or maybe just stay away
Starting point is 01:06:41 from the whole terrorism vibe. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This week's theme for Fact of the Day is the calendar. Oh, okay. It's calendar themed. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Cute. And today we're going to be looking at the names of the months of our year. Have you thought about where they come from? Jan after Jan. After Jan. Lovely Jan. Lovely Jan. February after...
Starting point is 01:07:24 Lovely Feb. Her sister Feb. Well, here we Jan. Lovely Jan. February after... Lovely Feb. Her sister Feb. Well, here we go. Okay. Okay. Originally, there were only 10 months. January and February were the last ones to be added,
Starting point is 01:07:34 but they put them on the front. Okay. Because they felt that that's where it needed to be. This is the Romulus calendar. This is Roman. Slight change to where we're at now with our Gregorian calendar, but that's based off this calendar So January and February were added last
Starting point is 01:07:47 Before that there were only 10 months January takes its name from Janus The Roman god of beginnings and endings Because it's the ending Because it's the ending Yeah The beginning of the year But it sounds like anus doesn't it
Starting point is 01:08:01 That's what you get in there Well that's also the beginning of the end isn't it Yeah So that's Janus is of the end, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's Janus is January, the Roman god of beginnings and endings. February comes from the word februm, which is purification, and the februa, which are instruments used in the purification. It was also a celebration they had throughout the month of February. And on February 15,
Starting point is 01:08:27 there was a particular thing that happened where you would clean your house and put salt outside and young men, naked, except for a goat skin cape, dashed around Rome's sacred boundary playfully whipping women with strips of goat leather. How dare you? It was to promote fertility.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Right. So that was February. Tradition has it that Romulus named the fourth March, third month, Martus after his own father, Mars, the god of war. So March is named after Mars. The following was April, Aprilis, and then Maus and then Junius. Names arrived from Roman culture. For example, April is named after Aphrodite,
Starting point is 01:09:06 the ancient Greek goddess of love and sexuality. And it was the first month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Old Rome sounds very horny. Oh, too horny. I mean, you were two of the people who were just naked all the time. And then the ones that weren't were just walking around in towels, just kind of draped over them a little bit. Some curtains over them.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Maya is May, who's like, you might have heard of. Singer, the singer. Maya. Yes. Yeah. From the early 2000s. Who was in the Lady Marmalade video. Who was the weak point of Lady Marmalade.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Maya, she's a fantastic singer. She just wasn't given. I mean, you're up against Christina Aguilera. Yeah. She was. Juno, the goldenness of war and woman, gives us the name of June. Now, from there on out, on the original 10,
Starting point is 01:09:50 the names of the month didn't change from their original. They were just named after numbers. Adam Levine and the other members of Maroon 5. Maroon 5. I believe, yeah, correct. So the numerical names of the month in the second half remain unchanged until the end of the Roman Republic, where Quintilis and Sextilis, Quintilis V, Sextilis VI were renamed after Julius and Augustus Caesar.
Starting point is 01:10:13 So there's your July and your August. Right. This changed their four months, September, October, November, December, because they thought going forth, I bet there's going to be some other great Roman leaders who will be able to rename these months after them and not soon after when it was kind of the end of the Roman Empire, wasn't it? You know why the horniness got a bit much and then collapsed? Probably.
Starting point is 01:10:32 I think if you're going to focus on nothing but sex, you've got to have a bit of agriculture. You really hit the but when you said but sex. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, if you're that horny, that's got to be an aspect of it. So then the months afterwards never changed. They just stayed with their corresponding numbers. When they were 10 months, September was the seventh month.
Starting point is 01:10:52 And, of course, when you put two on the front, it becomes the ninth month. It's quite, this is a lot, this fact. You're going to need to go to something quite. It feels like you've given 12 facts. You've given us many facts. It's all about the names of the month, baby. Keep up. It's a great story. of the month, baby. Keep up. It's a great story.
Starting point is 01:11:06 I feel a bit overwhelmed. September, I'm feeling overwhelmed. Sept is seven. Yep. October is eight. We're going to need to go a bit sexy tomorrow. November's nine. What are you talking about sexy?
Starting point is 01:11:18 The Romans did this. It's amazing. They got anything done with the amount of horniness going on. They were renaming months and changing calendars. I just feel a bit overwhelmed. I'm just feeling overwhelmed. December, the original 10th month, deaths for 10 became the 12th. It's too much.
Starting point is 01:11:34 It's too much. Maybe tomorrow's fact could be about those calendar. A couple of dumb ducks, a couple of idiots with rocks in the air. No, maybe tomorrow's fact can be about those calendar people in the malls every December and January. I used to get one of those every year. Yeah, they know. I had a friend that did it and they told me how much money those places make. And it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:11:50 A lot? A lot. See, that's a great fact. It's not as interesting as how all the months got their names. Is it though? It's too much. You've given us a lot. You've gone way too much here.
Starting point is 01:12:01 You've overloaded us. Janus. I feel completely overwhelmed. February. Yeah, we're buffering February we're buffering Marcius Aprilus Mayus Junus
Starting point is 01:12:10 Julius Augustus some sort of September, October, November, December classics scholar yeah nobody did classics at school I did
Starting point is 01:12:18 oh my best friend she got a degree in it yeah and what are they doing now what are they doing now HR HR like love you, HR.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And they often say, hey, look, there's been a complaint. Now, this wouldn't have happened in ancient Rome. They would have taken you straight down to the Christian pits where you went to the lions. Today's fact of the day, January through December. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. I just quickly thank everybody who's messaged in in great support of a comprehensive fact of the day today.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Let me just text... I'll check the text machine, make sure he's not making this up. I think you'll find there's at least half... Can we get the fact of the day written out on Facebook? I can't remember it. See, because it was just too much. It was too much information. It was too much information. Keep it simple, stupid.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Kiss. Kiss my ass, stupid. That's not the acronym for it. It is. Yeah. I my ass, stupid. That's not the acronym for it. It is. Yeah. I think less next time. Anyway. Tomorrow I'm going to tell you about every 365 days of the year.
Starting point is 01:13:34 No, you are not. So, there was a girl who got engaged on Twitter. No. Oh my God. How embarrassing. TikTok.
Starting point is 01:13:43 TikTok. Old. And she, her best friend shared the text exchange of how this went. It was like, photo, oh my god, here you go, I'm engaged. Ah! Next morning, 24 hours
Starting point is 01:13:58 later, the best friend texts her saying, how's cloud nine this morning? Heart face, heart face, heart face. She texts back, cheated on me. It's over. Cheated on me three times. What? When?
Starting point is 01:14:13 And the guy that cheated was the one that proposed? Within 24 hours. Within 24 hours, this chick discovered that the guy who had literally just proposed to her has cheated on her three times. So is this because the other women saw the engagement online and were like, hey, sister, just got to let you know. There's no like info on how she discovered it. It's just that she's shared the exchange with her best friend
Starting point is 01:14:39 about like, oh my God, I got engaged. Oh my God, how are you feeling this morning? He cheated on me, it's over. 24 hours. That's going to be one of the quickest engagements yet. Yeah. But yeah, probably like sharing it around and everyone was like, oh no.
Starting point is 01:14:50 You don't want to end up with this guy. I know for a fact that he's cheated. Oh, right. Yeah, maybe someone knew for a bit, right? And then the moment she was like, I'm going to marry him, they were like, oh, I can't let you go through with that. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Would you tell someone that? I've never had to. I've never been put in that position. If they were like your absolute best friend. Yes. But you wouldn't have let it get to that point. I would have done it the moment I knew. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, 24 hours
Starting point is 01:15:16 was the length of that engagement before she found out that he had cheated on her and it was over. I want to know what is the shortest engagement that you know of? Maybe you were part of a very short engagement. Does it count if someone proposes in front of a crowd and the person says yes,
Starting point is 01:15:32 and then immediately once the crowd disperses, they're like, I am not, like, absolutely not. The pressure of the moment, maybe you said yes and then afterwards you were like, hey, absolutely not. Or maybe this happened to a friend of yours. Is this an impossible Finding topic Because I feel like

Starting point is 01:16:25 because there's a woman who got engaged 24 hours later it was over because she found out he was jetting on her. Anonymous joins us. Good morning, Anonymous. Morning. Now, how long? Tell us what happened. Okay, so I was engaged full of two hours.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Two hours, that's good stuff. Two hours. So, well, about four years ago, my partner at the time cheated on me. It was a very, very bad, toxic relationship. Yeah. So, obviously, my partner at the time thought proposing to me would fix everything because it's obviously something that I've always wanted to do. So, he proposed to me all with a ring, everything.
Starting point is 01:17:06 At the heat of the moment, obviously, I was like, oh, my gosh, yes. So obviously I accepted the proposal. And then about an hour later, I was like, reality, I'm like, wait, hang on. This is not healthy. This is not how we should be doing. None of our family will come because each other's family hated each other, as you can imagine. Great sign. It's not going to go how I
Starting point is 01:17:29 dreamed my wedding would be. And then an hour later, she came over again and I was like, look, I can't. I can't do this. This is not how it's meant to be. And yeah, and then we broke up. Wow. Two hours. Two hours. Surely that's going to be the shortest.
Starting point is 01:17:45 Yeah, I don't know if we're going to beat that one. Anonymous, thank you. Good she saw clarity before going through the wedding. Some messages. Somebody said, my friend got engaged. We always knew the guy was no good. She was excited. She got engaged.
Starting point is 01:17:57 And then she found out after they got engaged and she came to tell us, he went and hooked up with somebody that had been cheating on her for a while. And so the next morning it was off. So that was about 24 hours as well maybe. I wasn't no less 12. It was only 12 hours as I discovered naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend
Starting point is 01:18:13 and some guy from the day before on his phone. I know, but some of your exes have a good bod. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but also that guy could have just been one of his friends. True. Sending nude pics to your mates. Just be like, what do you reckon? Hey, what do you reckon?
Starting point is 01:18:28 I'm going to send this to some other hot chicks. Some little hot ladies. Would you reckon that they'd like this? Yeah. What do you guys reckon? Submitting for feedback. Yeah. I do it to you guys all the time.
Starting point is 01:18:40 I'm like, what do you reckon about these pappies? Yep. You know, should I send them on? And you guys are like, nah, try a different angle. Yep. And we get it right together. Yeah. And I think Aaron appreciates it. Teamwork makes the dream work. It does. How short
Starting point is 01:18:53 did the engagement last? Is the current questionly on our lips? I'll stick with that. It was a woman who got engaged and then it was over in 24 hours. Now we've had two hours on the phone. Kayla, how long were you engaged? Probably around about five, six hours.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Five or six hours. Dive in. What happened? So it was on Christmas Day. My partner at the time had pulled out a wee box. My heart dropped because I sort of knew we were really on in the relationship. I'm talking about like
Starting point is 01:19:29 three or four months. And I was like, oh crap, his mum was there, his family was there. He opened up the box, it was the oldest style to have ever owned. So I'm putting the two and two together, maybe being like, oh, crap, maybe this is
Starting point is 01:19:45 my strength. And then he started bringing the whole, sorry, the whole street chat going, you know, I want to see most of my life with you and all of this stuff. At the time, I was like, oh, yeah, that would be nice.
Starting point is 01:20:01 That would be nice. That's what you want when you're in a present to somebody with your mother's ring at Christmas in front of your family. Oh, yes, that would be nice. They just smile on their face. Oh. So then I said yes, and it's been Christmas Day, all happy, and then at the end of the night I looked at him and I was like,
Starting point is 01:20:20 what was an engagement? Was it like, did you just engage me? And he's like, oh, yes, but no, no, no. It can just be a promise ring. Oh, God. Promise rings. So then at the end of the relationship, I did turn around and say, look,
Starting point is 01:20:36 I think maybe you should hold on to this until you find the right woman. Yeah, so how long did you stay with him after Christmas? To be fair, I was a bit of an egg and I stayed with him for a few months after that, but... That's alright, you know, we all do stuff. But you knew it was doomed. We've turned into great friends.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Oh, that's good. Yeah, nice. That's exactly what a guy wants to hear. Yeah, great friends. That's nice. Let's be great friends. Kayla, thank you for sharing some messages in. After a few, I was dating a mummy's boy. Oh, yeah. It was Christmas Eve.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Christmas seems like a popular time for a proposal. It should be about Jesus. I asked him if he wanted to get married. Oh, yeah. At 10 p.m. Christmas Eve. He said yes. Then on Christmas Day, approximately 16 hours later, he said to me, I Oh, okay. At 10pm Christmas Eve. He said yes. Then on Christmas Day, approximately 16 hours later,
Starting point is 01:21:26 he said to me, I can't be engaged right now. Okay. And then he like walked away and his mum was nodding and then I was just like, oh, okay, what the hell was I thinking?
Starting point is 01:21:36 And he continues to spend all the time with his mum and his sister and the PlayStation. Have we got a mummy boy? I think we've got a bit of a mummy boy on our hands. I was a bit of a mummy's boy on our hands. I was engaged for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 01:21:47 He proposed, I accepted. Then he told me that he loved that I could oversee the fact that he cheated on me. That was the first I'd heard that he cheated on me. And that the ring was the same one he'd asked his ex to marry him with.
Starting point is 01:22:03 I was like, oh yeah. I love that you have forgiven me for chatting. She's like, what? And again, one more time. What now? You heard me. Thank you. If we just move on, I am asking you to marry me.
Starting point is 01:22:18 That is wild. Lots of this stuff happening. We were a very rocky part of our relationship and he went to the warehouse and bought me a $100 ring and proposed in front of my whole family. That's okay. They've got nice jewellery at the warehouse. After my dad's wedding.
Starting point is 01:22:33 It lasted three months, if that. And the whole time I was like, this isn't going to work. When just thinking in your head this isn't going to work, when do you say it? Is it just building up the courage? Yeah. Like this one lasted three months and she knew from the get-go
Starting point is 01:22:45 I wasn't going to work or maybe she thought she'd change her mind or... I don't know. I don't know. It's too awful. Yeah, just lots of people getting engaged and then literally going straight back out and cheating. We're a bored species, aren't we?
Starting point is 01:23:01 Yeah. We're under-stimulated. We're dum-dums. We're dum-dums, We're dum-dums. We're idiots. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast. I'll tell you. It's a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you're wheezing.
