This is Fleshwinning Haley's Big Pod.
Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse.
The biggest brands are the lowest prices.
It's so sad that people can't name their kids after weed in New Zealand.
I know.
What's the country coming to?
It's PC gone mad.
Yeah, little baby tinny.
Yeah, and little baby Ganges.
Little baby sticky-icky.
Yeah.
Oh, cute, little baby sticky-y-y-y-gong.
Honestly, I still think that every baby name should be run past a panel.
of sensible people.
Yeah, and then like every five years of your life,
you should be asked if you want to keep it.
Like a driver's license renewal.
We're happy with that still, bong?
A little bong?
You're happy with that bong?
Are we banned in paraphernalia too?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pipe and bong, the twins, plus three.
Cash snap is coming up.
$900.
It's never been this high the jackpot.
So if you want to win your share,
make sure you're listening at 7 for the activator.
got a cash snap, say the same number as your fellow listener at the same time.
Let's do an example.
Three, two, one, four.
You would have lost.
You would have lost.
Well, it's that easy to play.
So listen now for the activator.
The top six on the way they've grown chickpeas and moon dust.
Yeah.
Okay.
How does chickpeas grow?
That's a very good question.
Oh my God.
I've never thought of how it's peat.
Does it grow in the can?
Yeah, they're actually in the can.
brine with aqua fiber? And then they take out the leaves
and they put a lid on the can. Oh,
so they could grow a lot like peas.
In pots. That would have been my guess, yeah.
On a plant.
Chickpeas are the worst.
Yeah, the chick's so dry, eh?
Oh, my God, shush.
Oh, they are that so dry.
I mean, you couldn't have our humus without them.
I mean, make a hummus, but that's it.
What about a crispy chickpea across a salad bowl?
No.
No. Absolutely.
Dry.
Gentlemen.
Well, the top six dealing with this.
Yeah.
The top six other things are.
can do in space?
Because they can grow chickpeas on the moon now.
Now vegans can go to space.
This is the one thing that was holding vegans back.
God, first it was women now it's vegans.
No, anyone can go to space.
Anybody.
A bloody dog.
A gay in space yet?
Has there been a gay in space yet?
Has there been surely just numbers?
Gays in space.
Case in space.
Imagine like an alien.
Maybe I think if anyone lesbians have be gays to space.
13 years ago, there was.
was a question
us on Reddit, why aren't there
any openly gay astronauts?
That sounds like a Christmas joke,
doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because he slipped on us,
I don't know.
Imagine an alien going like
past in their little ship
being like goo?
That's the aliens first interaction.
Rude from the aliens.
Really rude.
Next on the show,
someone reckons
they have found
the secret weapon
to climate change.
Well, let's have it.
Now, this is a job
that a lot of people do.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, do you want to dive back into why there's no...
They tried to get a lesbian into space.
Oh, what happened?
The spaceship blow up.
She was on Challenger.
Dr. Sally...
Did you know that, Shannon?
You love the Challenger.
Did you know Dr. Sally Ride?
Kept her personal life quiet,
but after her death,
her partner, Tam O'Shaughnessy, was acknowledged.
As her lesbian partner.
Oh my goodness, this is a new rabbit hole
for me to go down tonight.
Yeah.
I watched a video last night how every dictator
died and it was very interesting.
Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I'll send you the...
How did they get Pol Pot?
Pol Pot was just in bed.
Lazy. Lazy.
Lazy. Get your fat ass, out of bed,
Pol Pot.
But no, I will look into the lesbian space.
Thank you. Thank you, Shannon. Thank you.
And actually, more gaze in space, please.
You know?
Sure.
Start a campaign. More gaze in space.
The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod.
Guys have found the unmased.
answer to climate the climate crisis.
Oh, thank God. I'm glad.
Saving the world, it's hairdressers.
Okay. Okay.
How does that work?
No more hair spray.
Or like the chemicals they use or something.
Stop using them.
Um, they learn it at course now.
They learn how to wash out and recycle the plastic
bottles.
When they do rinsing.
at course, they've got
rinsing the hair and also rinsing your recycling.
Well, no, scientists are calling on an
unexpected warrior in the fight for climate change,
and they are saying it is the humble hairdresser.
They say that hairstyles are emerging
as a powerful, under-recognised influencer.
Oh, yeah, I see.
Oh, right, because they've got your ear.
They've got your ear.
Yeah, so they're saying,
and they've actually done a...
A university has done a study on this.
Scientists basically say that the salon,
when you go to the hairdresser,
hub of trust.
Yes, it is.
It's community, it's conversation.
Yeah.
And they are just the OG influences.
Yeah.
I totally understand that.
People, and I know all women do this.
Yeah.
Women in particular, I'll say.
Because I'm sure maybe there's an intimacy with a barber.
Yeah.
Yeah, there is a little bit.
But maybe not as much as a hairdresser.
I think you're probably there for longer.
Oh, 100%.
We're there for like eight hours sometimes.
Yeah.
But I've told hairdresser's things and I haven't told
my like dearest friends.
There's like an air of care but anonymity almost.
You know, like that they really care for you in an intimate way,
but you also have a lot of distance.
Because, you know, most of the time they're not your friend.
So researchers from the University of Bath teamed up with a bunch of salon owners
for the study.
They ran a nationwide intervention.
They used mirror talkers.
So they put tips on the mirror about like eco-tips, like, I don't know,
using less shampoo or recycling.
And that would then encourage conversation with the hairdressers.
And then you just trust them.
Yeah, and then you trust them.
And so they would talk to them about them.
And then after they talked to the people that had the haircut,
three quarters of clients reported that they were likely to change their hair care routine
following conversations.
Things like not as much hot water, not as much shampoo and conditioner.
Because people use too much.
hair spray and all that.
Yeah, that kind of stuff.
And so they actually found that people
did change their habits.
Okay, so we've just got to find
the hairdressers of massive Chinese factories then.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Because as much as, it's great that I'll rinse a can.
Yeah, it's not checking anything, is it?
In the right recycling,
how does it compare to a company
just pumping tons of CO2 into the air?
Yeah, for sure.
I guess it all small changes help?
Nah.
Not really.
They should get electric cars.
They should give hairdressers.
is a little clip of the ticket.
Look, but they drive the chimney.
They need to do an electric gymnast.
No, the hairdress is driving RAV-4s.
Oh, sorry, I thought they were driving the jimneys.
Some drive jimneys now, because, no,
back in the day they used to drive the RAV-4,
the RAV-4, kind of become a family car.
It has sized up.
It's hybrid as well.
Yeah.
The Girlies might be driving an aqua.
Yeah, right.
Now, I just love, good morning to our hairdress
listeners.
Yeah.
I hope that you know the power you hold, you know, to change the world.
Use it for good. I mean, you change our lives every day, make us feel good, thrive, get out there.
Or maybe tell your clients to listen to the show, too, Fletchhorn and Haley.
That'd be great marketing.
We could use this as our own personal influence.
Yeah, great marketing.
Yeah, to say, oh, what do you do up to today?
Oh, wow, I don't know, but this morning I was churned in laughing out louder.
If you missed it.
If you missed it, catch up on eye heart.
Yeah, all the podcasts are there.
Ding, ding, ding.
Why aren't you digging the bell?
Bourne?
We just had a KPI there.
I thought it was a bit on the snout, though.
It was more about getting a KPI than hitting a KPI.
Do you think our KPI hits are usually so subtle and sluttled?
They're so subtle and they need the bell.
Delusional math.
The Fletch, Vaughan and Haley, big pod.
Now, there is a bit of a viral trend going around at the moment
that I would say is somewhat problematic.
We're men in particular, are interested in calculating,
using a number of factors,
their sexual market value.
How much they would be worth?
Du Vaughan, do Vaughn.
Why?
Why? He's like a brother to maim.
So, well, it's weird because...
Wait, well, like a CV of the house?
What is the formula?
The valuation of your car?
Like, what is this?
You know how we talk about being like, we're a 10, you know?
Yes.
We know one's 10.
As a joke, like...
It's a 10, but we're like a Christchurch, Les Mills 10.
Auckland, Lesmill, 6.
Roundabout, I sit at a 7.2, in general.
At the moment, quite tired, not taking great care of myself,
probably goes 6.8, but it's going to get back.
Just want to warn everyone, that's going back.
So it's a way to calculate this based on looks.
This is for men in particular.
Looks, height, income, social status, factors like that.
And you allocate numbers to it.
You do these little maths equation.
Yeah.
But here's the bad bit.
influences are making money out of this by creating online calculators, like selling online
calculators where you can put in a bunch of information about yourself, how much money you earn,
and your height, your weight, other factors like that, your age, and it gives you a rating.
And people are paying to have this done.
And then sharing it online as there, this is my sexual market value.
I'm in 8.2.
If somebody shared their sexual market value, wouldn't that just be the biggest?
I can red flag ever.
Such an ick.
If you were on a Tinder profile and it said...
SMV.
SMV.
Which is how they're doing it for one.
They're saying my SMV.
I've Googled the power moves.com.
Have you?
It tells me the aspects of it.
Male resources, male social status, male ambition and industriousness.
Yeah, confidence and status is in there.
Dating background can be in there.
So you go in and you like rate yourself on these scales, which some people are charging
for to get your SMV.
It's not very Kiwi.
You're Kiwi blokes wouldn't do this.
I reckon you'd be surprised.
Really?
It's a validation, right?
It's a number.
But then what if you do this?
You pay, you do all the questions,
and then it spits out of five or something.
Out of ten, you just feel like,
well, what's the point?
Male physical traits, height, symmetrical body and faces,
athleticism, toned muscles, masculine features,
which is jawline, sorry, large jaw,
jarring chin, bed, low voice.
and a V-shaped torso.
Oh, David Beckham would lose a few points on the low voice.
But you're getting back on the V-shaped torso.
That's, it's so crazy.
Why do you need a number?
But that is what the algorithms for these dating apps figure out anyway, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, yeah, push the hottest to the front.
Yeah, exactly.
The law of optimum dating balance on a scale of 1 to 100, 0 to 25 is too wimpy.
and then there's a threshold point
that sits of the sweet spot between 50 and 75
and anything above that is brutish or freakish.
Oh, okay, right.
Oh, no, I think a rating...
And don't worry, females, you can feel value too.
Can we?
Apparently, there's the female, you need to be youthful.
I saw that.
But there is the milf appeal.
The milf appeal is real and widespread.
How do we explain the milf appeal?
Well, it's proven health.
she's been around for longer.
Her kids are the proof of her fertility.
Proven help.
If her children are alive and in her custody,
it's her proven motherly skills
and in her experience of being a mother
shows that she can provide for you.
I saw this because they were saying
in a lot of these online calculators,
if your age number
for a woman is after 30,
then you're going to get a much lower score.
Just in general. You can't even change that.
That's your age.
Yeah.
But surely that would kind of get some men as well.
Well, the older you are.
No, but men's as older, they look better after 30.
Yeah.
And we look worse after.
Right.
Remember the men's physical appearance and I read out three or four things.
Yep.
One, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen, fifteen, fifteen, ten, eighteen, twenty one, twenty one.
Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-three aspects of the female attractiveness.
Wow.
Wow.
And what were the men's ones?
Like three or four.
Right.
Jaw.
Bair.
Yep.
And jaw.
Yeah.
Has a nose.
Bair and jaw.
The Z.
Now, ZM's Fleshforn and Haley.
Now, uh, little, how, it was six days away from knowing who the Oscar winners are for the year.
And Timothy Shalala Lameh is a nominee.
And he was kind of pipped as like the, as like the pick, right?
Yeah, but he hasn't won any of the other awards leading up to this, has he?
He won one of them.
One of them, a, was it a critic's choice?
Maybe, you know, like one of this, maybe slightly smaller ones.
That's on my list to watch.
Anyone seen it yet?
What, mighty supreme?
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
I want to watch it.
It's about table tennis.
Yes.
What was that?
That's not what table tennis sounds like.
Yeah, more like, no, no.
What are you doing that?
That's some of the table tennis sound.
I've got a heavier bat than you.
Is that it?
Okay, right.
No, make it more tongue less lip.
More tongue less lip.
All right.
That was my rock west band, no.
So, yeah, so he was a pick for that.
And now everyone thinks it's going to be Michael B. Jordan.
Anyway, I read an article that said,
how to lose an Oscar in 10 days.
A moment for Michael B. Jordan.
Just a moment for Michael B Jordan.
I loved that from the...
I love Chachypity.
I love Chachypity.
No, I loved that from which awards...
Was it the Golden Globes that Nikki Glazer hosted?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she said, Michael be Jordan, Nikki be jerkin.
And I thought that was really funny.
Outrageous.
I'm so sorry your mum's here.
Anyway, so...
Anyway, the Oscar things aside,
there was an article saying
How to Lose an Oscar in 10 days
because, like, Timothy Shalamee
has just fallen out of favour with the world
because he made one little throwaway comment
about opera and ballet.
And the opera and ballet
and the live performance communities are not happy.
What did he say about them?
Because I missed this, but I've seen the outrage.
He said no one cares about it?
Yeah, so he was sitting down with Matthew McConaughey.
They were having one of those, like,
little chatty things about cinema
and it was all being filmed and stuff.
and he was talking about the future of AI
and how it's coming for movies and art
and all that kind of stuff.
And he said he wouldn't want to work in art forms
such as like ballet or opera
is that he said
sometimes it feels like people are trying to keep it alive
even though no one cares anymore.
And then he said all respect to ballet and opera.
I think it has been taken out of context
that he was saying
the people don't care anymore.
Yeah.
Not that his personal,
opinion on it. But anyway, it's hit a nerve with ballet and opera communities. They feel very
dismissed and kind of like, oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Cinema. We're over here in our dinky little
theatres doing, you know, a centuries old art form that you've got no idea about. But the online
clapback is actually amazing. Because at first it was comments like, even Doja Cat posted something
on TikTok being like, that's so disrespectful. Like, this is, you know, we all go back to the
opera. Jamie Lee Curtis posted something.
as well. But lots of like Australian
ballet, opera Australia, heaps of
you know, art
what would you call them? Production houses, I guess,
have been doing amazing online content.
Oh, what about that girl that was walking on her tiptoes
on the bottles? Yeah, yeah. And
heaps of ballerinas and
and opera singers have come out and show in like their talents and stuff.
Yeah, and being like, do this. The craziest one was
a girl walks tiptoe while
reading a book and holding a cup of coffee along
bottles, the top of bottles.
Like wine bottles.
Yeah.
Insane.
On her toes.
Do you know what's wild is Timothy Shalama.
Shalalalalabay actually comes from a ballet family.
His mom was a very successful ballet dancer and so with his grandmother.
The wording of it when he said like that people don't care about it anymore.
I don't think he was saying he doesn't care about it anymore.
I think he's saying people are trying to quote,
it feels like something that people are trying to keep alive even though no one cares anymore.
So do you think that's coming from a place where he sees,
his family putting on these productions
and people don't go
or they don't hear. Yeah, the broader perspective
that people aren't really going to these
live art forms anymore.
But they are. But it is diminishing.
But sometimes people don't really care what somebody actually
intended by what they said. They're just like a bit out
to be outraged or something. Something to jump on.
Yeah. We haven't had someone to jump on for a while.
We have a pile on. Yeah, yeah. Well, Timothy
Shalame is the target currently.
The Z&P Podcast Network.
From your local community Facebook page,
This is the top six.
Chickpeas in space.
Chickpeas have been growing in moon dust.
Now that's moon dust that has been procured from the moon.
In a little canister, they brought it back down.
It's so, this is called simulated moon dust.
Lunar Rigoliffe.
Wait, so it is from the moon or they...
It's a synthetic version of what's on the moon.
Okay.
I mean, look, the system.
When we get off this planet, the better, because I heard that fuel in space is like 40 cents a later.
No, but then we're just going to ruin the other planets.
It's a matter of time.
We need to just leave, honestly.
Like on Wally.
We just go.
Where to?
Gone.
Right.
Gone.
The next round.
Whatever.
Gone.
Dumb.
I'm doing my bit.
That's dark, Haley.
I'm listening to a book at the moment.
I'm listening to a book.
Should I put it on my new Instagram, Fletch?
We should actually.
I'm listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Have you heard of this?
No.
Why would I heard of Dungeon Crawler Carl?
You wouldn't have.
But the basic premise is we've just been an experiment by aliens all along
and they just come and harvest us.
And I was like,
the possibilities out there at the moment, probably not that bad.
Yeah.
Compared to the...
Take what you need, actually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come and have that.
They might actually come and invade soon if we're all going to always Zemper because there
won't be much of us to eat.
Oh, that's actually true.
Oh, you were all scorn.
They can't take our lovely, delicious plump flesh anymore.
And slow roast us and let our fat sort of marble through.
With skirt steaks.
Which is a shame because you want a big fatty roast.
Yeah.
Big fatty roast.
But any, researchers have successfully grown chickpeas in a simulated moon dust.
And they said, great hummus and space, I guess.
Fantastic.
But the vegans are like, get us up there now that we've got our chickpeas will be unstoppable.
The top six things vegans can do.
in space. Number six on the list,
tell the aliens they're vegan is an opening line.
Aliens are like,
muf, fluff, blah, blu, and they're like,
we are vegans.
Yeah, yeah, great. And we do CrossFit.
Yeah.
Do you guys do high rocks?
Yeah. Because this was my time.
Yeah, yeah, great, great, right, right.
Watch this video of me doing it.
Yeah.
How do you like my form?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And again, I'll reiterate, this is a meat-free body.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Number five on the list of the top.
things vegans can do in space, pass out on takeoff due to anemia.
Just the G's, they'll be like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just a little bit, just that.
Even with the crossfit.
Always light-headed.
Even with the cross-foot.
You're light-headed.
Yeah, iron deficiency.
Take your pills.
Number four on the list.
They do make you constipated the way, the iron pills.
Are the iron pills that block you up?
They block you up.
I have been somewhat more blocked.
Could be the iron.
Number four on the list of the top six things veg can do in space.
Milk their oats and zero gravity.
Much easier without the gravity.
Yes.
Just roll the oats and...
All the oats will just be floating away.
Oh, you need a bit harness on the oats and then just...
Milk them.
Milk them.
Yeah.
Milk them.
Oat nipples are so petite.
Hard to find.
Really hard to find.
Number...
Just make the room a little bit cold and I'll go stiff.
Harder.
Yeah.
Easy to find there.
Number three on the list of the top six things vegans can do in space.
I'm reading the ingredients on the back of all the food pouches just to make sure.
There's no gelatin.
No rennet.
No emulsifier 752
Because that's made from the
Bight and back juice of a camel
Camel, yeah, out of the hump
Yeah, straight out the hump there
That's what's in marshmallows.
Yeah, camel hump juice, I've heard.
Number two on the list of the top six things
Vegans can do in space.
Try to convince the other astronauts that tofu is as tasty as chicken.
It's just about the preparation.
Yeah, it's just about it's a bit of space.
If you haven't had good tofu, that's because it hasn't been marinated correctly.
Someone's just message in for one.
They're taking umbrage.
Are they taking umbrage?
Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter?
No, no.
Crossfitters are not vegans.
So we actually heard from the crossfitting community.
No, there aren't crossfitting vegans.
Not all of them, but some are, but the ones that do love to show you that they've done it.
My body is a temple.
No animal by products.
Yeah, power by plants.
And good for them.
Because I'm powered by wine, you know?
So they're still winning.
And how's that going for you?
Never looked worse.
Yes, vegans can absolutely do CrossFit and thrive.
Yeah, of course they can.
Of course they can.
Yeah, just lift a bit lighter.
The vegans are hating this.
We've lost them.
And number one on the list of the top six things vegans can do in space
make their sourdough bread from their starter.
Actually, I love sourdough.
Oh, they're tagged.
Well, the starter is technically an astronaut because it's alive.
But somehow it's alive and it's very.
vegan and they'll eat
its bread babies. Who's
the bad guy now? When I'm
taking the eggs from chickens, that's
the equivalent of you eating the bread you made from your
starter. It's the starter's baby.
Reconsider everything, you're
a terrible vegan. That's today's
top of six.
The ZM Podcast Network
Play ZM's Fleshhorn
and Haley. Sorry
this is such a harrowing story.
I want to know from our list is right now.
When did a holiday
destroy the relationship.
And maybe it was a romantic relationship, but it could be,
you know, you went travelling with your best friend or
something like that. Oh, you hear of this
happening all the time. Yeah. Especially
even best friends because they think
they hang out all the time. Yeah. But then
you hang out for weeks on end.
Understress. In Southeast Asia.
Yeah, totally. Well, this
couple, this woman
shared her story online, they'd
be dating for six months. It's really
making me laugh. Six months
they've been dating. They had
both felt like they had met their perfect partner.
Like six months in, they were like, this is the one.
Wow.
This is really amazing.
They decided at the six month mark to travel to Bali together for her cousin's wedding.
Now, her boyfriend was obsessed with the idea.
He was like, oh my God, I've been to Bali before.
I can't wait.
It's so fun.
You'll love everything about it.
The person, this woman's story, she suspected that she was going to hate it because of the heat, the humidity,
and she doesn't love going to the beach.
Oh no, this is...
I mean, this is just not a match for a relationship, right?
Yeah, so she said despite this,
she was like, but going anywhere with you will be worth it.
Okay.
You're my perfect man.
Within two days, it all started to go downhill.
She realized their travel stars were completely different.
He loved adventurous backpacking travel, street food,
you know, taking risk, skiing on the back of a scooter.
She preferred comfortable travel, air-conditioning,
cafes with healthy food options, which unfortunately, she would drive them towards these
healthy food options, and then they both got diarrhea for 13 days straight in Bali.
Barley-Bally. Diarrhea affects different people differently, too. Some people just run
with a diarrhea. Some people just completely ruins everything. Yeah. So that's when the trip was,
you know, two, like they were over there for ages. Two weeks was absolutely terrible. The
toilet and the shower were outdoors. Oh, wow. So they were fighting.
constantly, completely uncomfortable.
He didn't want to ruin his holiday.
So he'd go off during the day scuba diving
and she'd be lying under a fan
just trying to survive.
That's not a holiday, is it?
Yeah. She said the whole thing
just absolutely tore them apart
that they came back to the country,
I think they were from the UK,
came back to the country completely in silence
and broke up upon arrival.
So they just went.
And probably had to sit next to each other
on the flight back as well.
Yeah.
A long flight back.
And just like, I've done nothing but shit.
Yeah.
And listen to you do the same.
And then fight.
And then you ditched me.
And I sat and sat like it just blew it apart.
But they're not gone away for weekends before they went on a big holiday?
It's different though, isn't it?
Yeah.
A little, you know, Airbnb in Tohanga.
Yeah.
It's slightly different to like the heat of Southeast Asia.
There's something about diarrhea in the heat too, isn't there?
It's just that.
Hot diarrhea.
It sucks.
Well, you can't stop sweating while you can't stop squirting.
It's a whole thing.
And then you go outside to get some fresh air and it's just hotter.
And she's blamed him by the feel of things.
This wouldn't have happened in my five-star resort, she says.
No, because she admits that her pushing towards all the healthy eating food
led them to probably, like, you know, rinsed lettuce rather than some beautifully fried out food.
I think so they both accept responsibility for it.
But this happens.
And you do.
You went and you're overseas, even in Europe,
you spend all this money to get there.
You'll see couples absolutely.
Well, which way are we going?
You know, and they're fighting in those streets.
Yeah, there were three American couples on a tour that I did
over, like, the Christmas New Year break,
and one of them, they were absolutely going at.
And there was one point they were sitting right in front of us as couple,
and my friend and I were just loving every minute of it.
They, I think the boyfriend or the husband said to her,
like, I don't think now's the time to be talking about this.
Oh.
I was just like,
we did see them two days later on a wine tour
and they did look a lot happier.
They were all right.
So maybe they just had,
so one of them had a bad day.
But she was like back to him,
they were on the same bench seat.
She was back to him turned away.
Like the body language was dark.
I mean, little fights happen,
but yeah,
when you see a Barney overseas your lap,
I don't think they're going home to the same country after this.
I know friends that like have broken up friendships
mid-Europe or South Africa.
these days your trip and gone their separate ways because they couldn't handle each other.
Yeah, they're just like, this isn't working.
See you later.
What I want to know right now, when did a holiday?
Absolutely destroy a relationship.
One woman shared online, perfect partner she called him, man of her dreams, went to Bali together within a few weeks.
Relationship with her.
Nick, good morning.
Morning, how's again.
Really good.
Now, when did a holiday ruin the relationship?
Well, we were going over to Australia
and she decided to log into Facebook on my phone
and she logged out of Facebook
but forgot that and still kept messenger logged in
so when we got to Australia
I had the messengers come flying in
from the guy that she was cheating on me with.
Oh, Nicholas.
This is some rookie bullshit.
Got you get better at cheating, babes.
Yeah.
Oh, Nick, what did you do?
Made for an awkward 10 days on the...
10.
Oh, I tell you what, if you're going to be somewhere awkwardly, though,
nothing beats the Goldie.
Yeah, the roller coasters.
Can't scream at each other on a roller coaster.
Nah, no.
It all just blends with the other screaming.
Wait, so did you tell her on day one, or did you sit on this for 10 days?
No, I told her on day one.
Yeah.
And I slept on the couch.
Excuse me.
She slept on the couch.
This is a station of feminists, but,
Ben?
You get on the couch.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what I think of here.
Wait, so did she ever...
Was this guy in Australia or was he back
home in New Zealand?
No, he's back home in New Zealand.
The last time they met up with the day before we went on holiday.
Oh, no.
But technically wasn't the holiday that ruined the relationship, was it?
Yeah, but the holiday was ruined by the relationship breakdown.
Yeah, it was.
So did you get back to New Zealand and then call it quits?
Yeah, he got back to New Zealand.
stuff up and told you to leave.
Fair enough, mate.
Did you go, did you do the theme parks with it?
Or did you just like... I didn't say it'd he stand
in an hour long ride for the Superman
roller coaster with this...
We actually went on the theme park so I just ended
up just tagging along with random families.
That was quite fun. I said we're writing
in the singles line and the theme parks are a great idea.
It's actually so much quicker.
It's so quick.
Have you found love Nick since?
I have.
Oh. Because you sound like a nice bloke.
You do sound like a nice guy.
Looking after your heart.
Yeah, that's good.
Thanks, Nick, Snack.
Go on your boy.
Yeah, get back out of here, boy.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Good on you, boy.
Some messages in.
Two of my four siblings, a sibling-in-laws have been broken up with,
specifically after holidaying to Araradonga.
Oh, Rarro.
Relax.
Is it because it's two boys?
I've had a screvy match in Raro though.
Yeah.
You reckon?
It's just, oh, I've had one.
Oh, really?
I'm just saying I can't even remember what it was about.
engine's got high.
Yeah, right.
Try travelling with ungrateful teenagers.
Q, that do you know how much this holiday is costing us?
They're going to grow up and then want to go on their own Gold Coast holiday and realize
how much life costs and then be like, you know what, we were ungrateful.
I think I worked out my marriage wasn't going to work when our honeymoon became,
let's invite everyone.
And I spend it trying to herd cats and babysit, not once, one ounce of Indonesian sex.
Oh, on the honeymoon.
Just need some clarification there, 901.
Did, who invited the other people?
They must have, yeah.
Or was it you who was just like, I think we should have other people there.
No, they must.
I hate that if you booked a romantic Balinese holiday and then we're like,
we're going to Bali, you guys should come.
Or you wouldn't go if you knew it was their honeymoon.
Yeah.
Someone said, I don't know how we got to the point of an international trip together
until I found out quite freely racist.
What?
Do you know what, though?
Going overseas, right?
You might not notice it when you sit in here in New Zealand.
And then you go overseas and they're like,
why are you reflecting the accent back?
Stop it.
Stop it.
Yeah.
Oh, dear.
Someone message I found out my ex-boyfriend was a messy suitcase guy.
He just shoved everything in and it drove me mad led to our biggest fight yet
and it was the beginning of our downfall.
You should have bought him packing cells.
They don't help.
What they do?
It's the mess.
in the suitcase or is the mess in the packing cell?
It's just the same.
No, the packing cells contain the mess.
But the clothes are still a mess.
Yeah, then who cares?
Or fold them up and put them in the packing cell.
Or fold them up and put them in the suitcase.
I can't find my, can't find my bintan suitlet.
Because their suitcase is a mess.
Boy, but you're my bintan singlet.
Because their suitcase is a mess.
It's a mess, yeah.
Realized marriage wasn't going to work with on our honeymoon hub.
was working full time and having dinner with his mum most nights.
What?
That's a honeymoon.
Who did he marry?
What was it?
Why is mum on the honeymoon?
Where was the honeymoon?
I mean, unless mum was paying for it, Mom and Dad might have been paying.
Or like their babysitting?
Yeah, true.
Like if you took the kids?
There needs some clarification there, 2-4-0.
But even if your mum's there, it's your honeymoon.
Yeah.
It should be...
Give some space.
Mooning, honeymooning.
Mm-hmm.
Do you think...
Somebody said interesting thing when you're on a holiday to come
to your room to find your partner in bed with one of the
one of the staff.
What? Okay, what is this
the white lotus? Yeah, that's
giving big white lotus. It's giving big white lotus.
But do you remember when we went to
Beachcomber? I'm talking a long time ago.
It was a long time ago. Those Fijian
boys work in that bar had their choice
of those pacing white English women.
Oh, absolutely. They were there, they were single, they were
throwing themselves, you're a bit of all right?
Oh. They were throwing themselves
at them. And those Fijian boys, it was
like shooting fish in a barrel for them.
Must have almost lost the fun.
Yeah.
No challenge whatsoever.
Now the honeymoon that hubby was going to dinner with mum
was in a nearby city to where they lived.
Oh, okay, right.
She was close enough.
Someone said my honeymoon 2.0 was going to be my in-laws
coming with to look after the four-year-old.
Oh, yeah.
That's good, yeah.
That's good tagging a on-the-spot babysitter.
Nothing says romance and sexy post-wedding.
Have like be rooms apart, right?
When we all check into a hotel, we ask for separate floors.
At least a one-room buffer.
The ZAM Podcast Network.
Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley.
Earlier today, LA time,
somebody pulled up outside Rianna's house with an AR-15-style weapon.
Jesus, crazy.
Shot at her mansion, about 10 shots.
They reckon they've arrested somebody on suspicion of attempted murder.
Apparently she was home at the time.
Oh, my God.
So wild.
That sucks, say.
Yeah, motive unclear, yeah.
Assault rifle casings found at the scene.
Bizarre.
Leave Riala alone.
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road,
this is 50 miles to a Shannon's head.
Shadden's hat, baby.
Time for another.
Possibly underwhelming Shannon's hack.
No, no, no, no, no, because listen, Shannon has said, one, this is a dozy.
And two, she ran it past her magician boyfriend.
He's a wizard.
And he wasn't embarrassed.
Wizard.
He's a wizard, R.E.
So, we've got high hopes.
Yeah, and normally when I tell you guys a hack, I kind of have just seen it around.
Whereas this one, I have used constantly since I saw it last week.
So I've been sitting on this.
I've tested it, and now I'm ready to present.
We really appreciate that.
the thorough nature of the testing there.
Yeah, I'm basically MythBusters now.
So, new hack.
You know when you go to set an alarm on your iPhone,
you go to set a new alarm,
and it comes up with a little dial.
If you want to play along at home,
open up your clock now
and look at you, to set a new alarm.
You have to scroll through the dials
to get the minutes.
You have to be like scroll through one o'clock.
Wait, are we setting an alarm or are we doing a countdown timer?
You can do this for either,
but I'm looking at an alarm right now.
Okay.
So if I wanted to set an alarm for like 10pm, I've got to scroll and it's just annoying.
What I want you to do is tap your finger in the direct middle of the hours and minutes,
and you'll see a little colon come up, and now you can type the exact time you want your alarm to go.
No more scrolling.
It didn't work.
I didn't work.
What do you mean?
Oh, dude.
It does work.
Tap the middle between the hours and the minute.
Oh, you set an alarm, don't do a countdown timer.
That countdown timer didn't work.
I'm on timer.
You just, I mean, it doesn't matter if you've got a Samsung or an iPhone or whatever you got.
I just used Siri and just say send an alarm for 1035.
Yeah, same.
It's done.
No, but I'm always scrolling through.
I'm like, oh, I've got to put the washing on.
Hey, Siri.
Scroll through.
Set an alarm for 736 a.m.
And it's just on.
Oh, it just went off.
Yeah, but imagine if you tapped in between that.
Yeah.
Imagine if you just wasted even more time.
Yeah.
Imagine if you just wasted even more time.
I mean, it's a, if you set alarm.
Shannon, you've shot yourself in the foot here again.
I say, and it's only because you came in saying this is potentially your greatest hack.
I do like it because I didn't know it.
Will you use it?
And that's how I said alarms.
Yeah, yeah, because that's how I said alarms.
I don't ask, I always forget this.
There is a thing.
Yeah, right.
I constantly forget I can ask my phone first.
You know what?
I feel like this is actually really good because, personally, I am too anxious to just ask Siri because what if Siri doesn't work?
Yeah.
I've done that before.
But then you can check.
Yeah, but you're doubling down then.
No, it literally comes up as soon as you say it.
No, but it's like how if you're trying to learn something,
you should write it by hand, not just type it.
If I've physically gone into the thing and tapped it myself,
I know I've said it.
Do you know, I get that because I've got my alarm clock next to the bed,
but I also do ones here and then to tap them and see them,
tap and see them because we get up so early.
Now look at the...
I always say the text machine, by the way.
Loves it.
Great hack.
Brilliant Shannon.
Learn something.
Five out of five.
my god, Shannon, it works five out of five.
Shannon, that's good.
Hack, great hack, love it, game changer.
No one uses Siri Haley.
Great Shannon, love this.
I mean, sometimes are we making our own judgment here,
or are we being the voice of the people?
Someone said this has literally been around for years.
That's the thing.
It could have been around for years, but why.
If we're not using us.
Yeah, exactly.
No one told me, who the hell reads whenever there's an iOS update
or no one.
System update?
Who goes through and reads all the changes?
Not me.
Yeah, someone said also if you want to send an alarm
for a few days away, Siri.
shite for that.
And also a lot of people saying your,
Hey Siri set alarms on my phone too.
So sorry to everyone who just had the alarm go off.
Oh, so the text machine is...
No, now, my Siri, well, it stopped because she talked to it.
Oh.
That's why the music stopped.
It's just said an 8am alarm for regular meals.
No, turn off.
8am alarm for regular meals.
Because you said,
those are an alarm.
And it set one for 8 a.m this morning for regular meals.
Oh, I don't need what...
I don't want to be reminded of regular meals.
I think it's a three from me.
It's not like...
Somebody said, is this a hack or just a little known functionality of a smartphone?
Yeah, it is a little bit.
It's not hacky enough for me.
It's grey, and we love that you've brought it to our attention.
It's just not giving hack.
Yeah, it's not like life-changing, is it?
But like, I myth-busted it for you.
I tested this.
And the people are using it.
No, no, you don't myth-bust.
That's not a myth to bust.
It's not a myth to bust.
No, it is, though.
No, it's not a myth-bust.
are things like, well, my phone actually start a fire
and a four quarts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't bring up
technology and fires more on that later.
And 966, just texting, what do you
think it is? You're thinking a three
Fletch? Oh, it's giving three to me because it's not a hack.
No, but it's taught me something.
It's taught us something. I will definitely use
I feel like it's a four for Vaughn because he's, he
doesn't use Siri. I'm not a big Siri user.
Should it's a three... 3.7?
Vaughn? Yeah, I'm happy...
3.7? I'm happy for a 3.7.
Are you happy with that, Shannon, a 3.7?
I'm just going to go home and read the text machine later.
I'm going to go with that.
4.5, someone's text in.
Yeah.
But otherwise it's gone quiet.
I think people have sort of already over it and moved on.
I don't want it to be 3.7 because that doesn't sit well with me.
3.8.
3.5.
It's even.
No, then we might go to 3.5.
3.5.
3.6 is psychotic.
Yuck.
No, but at least the 6 isn't even.
Yeah, I know, but it shouldn't.
It doesn't feel like.
Wait, what about 3.3?
No.
No, I don't know that.
What is up with you?
Wait, what about two?
It's just a nice even two.
What about two and we never do a Shannon's Hacker?
No.
Okay.
Three and a half.
Three and a half.
Three and a half?
Three and a half.
Three and a half.
Three point five.
Okay.
If you see a faded sign at the side at the side of the road that says three and five for Shannon's half.
We've really got to get into the production studio.
That was a one day.
We're booking that booth.
That was a one.
That was a one for the outro.
The outro was a one star.
The fleshborn and Haley, big pod.
So a little poll today is
do you think filming on phone should be banned at concerts?
Yeah, so Harry Stiles, the Netflix special is out the concert.
Yeah.
It was on Friday UK time.
Yeah.
Turned around quickly.
Yeah.
In a couple of days.
Made it out on Sunday.
Day UK time.
Fans were given the phone cases.
We spoke about this yesterday, the phone cases to lock
their phones away. Yeah.
But some fans either used a decoy phone
and had their phone in their back pocket.
Yeah. Or they managed to get them out of the plastic bags.
And there was footage that came out.
And people were like, it was kind of,
kind of ruined it, but then people were like, it was kind of nice
not having your phone? Oh my God. When I went to
Toll that last year,
Maynard, the main singer, he was just like,
can you not film? And it just put up a thing.
saying we ask that you don't be in the moment,
you know, whatever.
And people just didn't.
They just didn't because you're like,
I don't want that artist's thing, I'm a loser.
Or to be called out.
Or to be called out.
How embarrassing.
And it was amazing.
It totally changed a concert experience.
I've filmed concerts and you never...
You never watched them again.
Never watched them.
But they let you film the last.
The last one.
Yeah, okay.
He was like, you can do it.
Just to prove you were here.
I just loved it.
It was amazing.
Okay.
Well, 57% of people think they should be banned it.
shows. Forty-three percent said no.
Yeah.
I think it's different sorts of shows.
Like, A tall crowd's older.
Yes.
Heard the songs, they want to see them live.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Whereas, you know,
Zara Larson's coming later this year.
I think there'll be a lot of phones out
because it's the experience of being there
and telling everybody you're there.
And the TikTok and doing the TikTok dance.
Yeah.
Some feedback on it.
Anne Marie said, enjoy the concert.
That's the whole point of going.
I think you can, you see some people at a lot of concerts
that's just got their phone out the whole time.
And you're actually not enjoying this.
But if someone's whipping it out and doing a little 20-second pan around
Or, oh, it's my favorite song, get a little clop of that.
You know, that's not the end of the world.
Charles said, I'll be present and enjoy what you are there for
rather than chasing likes and reactions.
That's Ken Charles III, by the way.
That's wisdom.
That is a listener of the show.
It's really wide.
And we appreciate that he's taking time to message into the show
because with those fingers.
Car be easy on the...
He has to plug a USB keyboard into his phone.
And that's how he does it.
The text.
I realize I'm probably the only one who goes and watches the video back.
It always brings me such joy to watch concerts.
All the highlights package I've created says Tash.
Oh, that's nice.
So she does watch it.
Lou, sounds harsh, but a band is probably better for all.
People don't want to hear their view blocked by the phone,
and you don't have to be disappointed by the poop quality video you took
from seats ages away from the stage.
Although phones now, I mean, it's kind of worth it now filming a concert.
You're pretty bloody good.
The sound, the video, it's incredible.
Yeah.
I'm torn, says Catherine.
As someone who very much appreciated the people who live streamed the air is to us
so we could listen to the surprise songs,
but also live in the moment not on your phone.
Yeah, you want it both ways there.
Yeah.
You want your cake and you want to eat it too.
I just always assume as well, like someone else is going to get better footage than me.
Yeah.
So if I want to re-watch it, I can find that online.
Yeah, that's true.
Somebody else's footage.
Amber said,
so we shit quality and I've never gone back and watched them.
Nah.
Who does?
Well, remember a little while ago, someone said,
they did.
Literally just moments before.
If I didn't record to take photos at concerts,
I probably wouldn't remember them, to be honest.
And that's the reason they cut the bar off at 9 o'clock.
Yeah, that's the reason why there's a two drink per person limit.
From Laura, who said,
I'm the girl that recorded most of Chapo Roan set at Laneway
because I can't believe I finally got to see her live.
Yeah, that was great.
Yeah.
And maybe when you were watching her back,
you could have turned the volume right up
and we could have actually heard her probably.
I think maybe they'll, I think maybe say,
they're good for the first hour of the concert
and then ban them.
But if phones were banned at concerts,
so I wouldn't have video footage of my best friend
basically barking at someone who slammed into me
while six months pregnant at the Harry Style Show.
Wow.
But yeah, it'll be good if an artist said,
like, here's the song you can film.
Do their number one song?
A lot of the photographers get the first three songs of a concert
in the photo pit.
That's been a thing for a while.
They'll let you do photos for the first three songs
and then kind of, you know, bugger off.
Yeah.
Michael said I went to a Fred again concert
and he had stickers for cameras
handed out upon entry
and the professional videos that came out
with everybody just in the moment
and no phones in sight
definitely looked amazing.
Yeah, for sure.
How will all my Snapchat followers know I went
if I don't film it and put it on my story?
Says Alana.
You can just say, I'm off to your cheering.
But did she actually go?
You know, like did she?
Might be an unpopular opinion
but no, but can we have a section
where there is no filming and no singing?
I'm paying good money to listen to the artist sing.
I don't want to hear you screaming the lyrics is Karen.
That's a good point.
Taylor's, the errors to us the worst, right?
So much, what are you people just screaming?
And Taylor's like just in the background.
Yeah.
The screaming ban shries are the ones you can hear.
Absolutely terrible.
Well, for the little poll we said, do you think filming on phone should be banned at concerts?
57% of you said, yep.
Banner.
The flesh morning, Haley, big pod.
Now, if you, like me, struggle every single day with what to have for dinner,
what don't I have last night?
Barbecue.
Just trying to make the most of it.
vegetables, some chicken and stuff.
Also, aren't your parents living with you now?
Like, don't you just come home and it's ready?
Yeah, I know, but mum, have you also noticed that since my parents have lived with me, I've put on 10Ks?
I'm like, I cannot with that anymore.
So we are cooking separately.
Right.
So here's a great idea that someone shoot on TikTok.
They create a master dinner list every Sunday.
So they write a whole list and they write down every meal that they know how to prepare.
from your spaghetti bolognese to your stir fries to your barbecue to your salad to your whatever you put this all down and then from the master list every Sunday they sit down and they pick the week's meals from that master list so they don't have to think oh maybe we could get some chicken and then maybe do it they just have their set list of things and then do they go to the supermarket on that day like a Sunday yeah and they make a grocery list based on it and they're like it's a game changer because then you're not
because sometimes there's too many options.
Well, that's why people prefer the boxes, you know, that get delivered.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's just like sorts it out for you.
And it's been decided for you.
Yeah, and it's all there.
And so this is kind of, yeah, I guess like it makes it cheaper, right?
Yeah.
So I was reading this, like the master list of dinners that you possibly know how to make.
And I was like, how many dinners are on my list?
You know, you sort of cycle through the same things.
Yeah, but I like trying new stuff.
I feel if you don't ever try new recipes, you're never adding anything to your master list.
Yeah.
I feel like this is a busy, like they've got kids, they get home late, both of them after work.
It's just like, they don't have time to be like, should we try it?
You know.
And then you're faffing around in the kitchen for like hours trying to make something you've never made.
Hey, I was the game changer for me on that.
Yeah, that's right.
You put all that stuff in that you can make and say sprinkle that throughout, but make things like that, make them kid friendly,
leftovers friendly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So then I've got like lunch the next day.
Yeah, yeah, I want a diet friendly.
Yeah, totally.
You can say how many calories you're looking to, you know,
I did it with chat GPT, a little meal plan thing,
but it was very American.
You know what I mean?
Like they kept sort of putting in like squash,
and then they'd be like, pork cutlets.
Like, I'm not making a pork cutlet on a Monday night.
Well, you can tell them.
Tell us, ohs, ohs, not on a Monday night.
I know, well, I did.
I have to say, oh, oh, so, so, so, so.
You've made this far too complicated.
Yeah.
But it's a good thing to do, but I was like,
they've on their master list of meals.
Yeah.
I got quite a lot of meals.
Yeah, right.
Right, so it mixes it up.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you could put this whole list into chat GPT
and have it randomized, so then you're even taking the decision-making process out.
Then you do all this, and then you get to like Wednesday night,
and you've had a long day and they're like, should we just get takeaways?
Yeah, I don't want to eat this like asparagus frittata.
Yeah, yeah.
Spag bowl's not going to hit the spot.
No, no, no, no.
We're getting noneys.
Butter chicken.
We're getting butter chicken.
The Fletchhorn and Haley, Big Pod.
Here at a Southland Op Shop found a bag left outside,
some other donations. Now they always say
don't dump
stuff here when the shop's unattended
because if it's stuff they can't take
no you're not supposed to. You've been away to the shop
open. Because people just dump their junk there.
Fitch do you dump? No.
It's voice bright.
Okay. Well I'm not guilty. I'm not guilty.
Because people have things like mattresses. Now
all the shops can't do anything with mattresses. A
the mankie, B, it's got your fart juice
in it. It does have far juice. All sorts of juice.
Six juice.
and they are the smelly heavy
and if they get wet they're impossible to dump
and it costs them a fortune
so please don't dump your junk outside
an op shop
that's just a PSA
now outside there was a bag
the bag smelled strongly
oh no I'm already not
opening this bag
I'm not opening any dumped bag
that smells strongly
if you work there you kind of want to see what's in it right
no it's pretty body
no it didn't have that kind of stink
it had a bit of a
stinkyinky
Oh, stinky and canky.
A little sticky, a skinky, stinky,
open it up, found 43 grams of cannabis.
Now, if you know anything about cannabis,
that's a bit of cannabis.
Is it?
That's a bit of cannabis,
because it weighs next to nothing,
because it's dried out nothing.
You're right.
Oh, true.
Okay.
And $3,700 in cash.
Uh-oh.
We got a drug.
While they were calling the police to report,
cash and drugs,
probably there had been more drugs,
but some of those drugs have been swapped
for some of that cash.
Yeah.
Two 16-year-olds came into the shop saying,
we accidentally
dropped a bag here.
Did you?
Did you?
We need a bag.
We need to get our bag back.
So the police were actually
arriving as they were kind of
trying to get their bad back, apparently
agitated.
And in the bag, the police also found
scales, Ziploc bags
and other things.
They were doing baking?
Yeah, that's what they were doing.
They were making cookies to sell at the local cell.
Like guild guides.
They then searched the youth's car
and found an air pistol, a police scanner,
more cash.
16 year olds.
I mean, entrepreneurial.
Yeah, actually. Do you know what I mean?
We've got to start hustling young these days.
Yeah, well, it costs a living.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, that's the one thing that probably hasn't gone up in price.
Drugs?
Yeah, I wouldn't know about it.
I don't know, but there's still, what is it, people talk about?
Like a $20 tinny?
Is that the thing?
That was always the $20 tinny.
Maybe the tinnies have got a bit smaller.
I don't know.
Pretty lame when it comes to that.
But, so they accidentally dropped this bag off.
and then they went back for it.
There's one thing if you're going to drop off.
Drugs.
Yeah.
And cash that indicates you're selling drugs.
It's probably better to write that off rather than go back to get it.
Yeah.
Wouldn't have gone back.
No, don't go back.
An accidental donation and Southwin.
Oh dear.
You hear about this though all the time that people like donate like their old jackets or grandma's jackets or something.
It was like wads of cash in them or some diamond ring you forgot about.
I've never been so lucky.
Like I've never, I op shop a lot as you know.
I've never, like, found something cool.
Working in an op shop, I bet they find some cool stuff in pockets.
Oh, they would, yeah.
You'd go through it because they steam them and hang them up and all that kind of stuff.
Try to get out that dead old person stink.
Yeah.
Yeah, I quite like it.
Yeah.
Well, that's why we want to know this morning, what you've accidentally donated.
Yeah, or maybe you, like, chucked it out, you know, like at the garage sale, I keep getting worried.
You know, I hosted a garage sale recently.
Not doing that again, by the way.
Snozzy-Loy.
You're retired.
You're retired a shop.
Yeah.
But I was nervous.
like checking in all my trinket things in the boxes and stuff making sure there wasn't anything precious.
Oh, that's right to check because otherwise you'd lose it.
So yeah, that's what we want to know this morning on $800 M or $9.6.9.
Maybe you popped in the clothing bin and you're like, uh-oh, wrong bag.
You got home and you opened the bag and you're like, no, this was supposed to be in the clothing bin.
I always think that went, yeah, I always sent it because my boots always got a bag of clothes to go in the clothing bin.
But then it'll also be like, my gym bag.
There's been multiple stories about people moving flats and not having bags,
so they just put it all in rubbish bags and leave it in a room,
and somebody just comes and chucks it all in a skip and the skip school.
The flesh born in Haley, Big Pod.
Right now, what did you accidentally donate or give away?
You get a lot of messages for things people found.
Oh, really?
In the donations.
In the pockets.
Yeah, okay, great.
Well, we asked on Instagram, too, what you'd accidentally donated or given away.
Lauren said my favorite sweater somehow got in the mix.
Oh no.
You know when you've got a good sweater.
Guess you could buy it back.
But then don't some of the clothing bins ship them elsewhere?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
They might get shipped away.
Yeah.
God, that'd suck.
Jen said a Jalen Hertz Super Bowl jersey.
The tag was still on it.
So that sounds like a collector's item.
Jalen Hertz is the player.
Yeah.
How did that end up in the...
Don't know.
I still have the tag and I'm still crying over it.
They don't make them anymore.
Oh, someone out there in a lot shop.
It's got it for 15 bucks.
Oh, this is amazing.
You probably see them wearing it around and be like, no.
Would you say something if you did that?
Just say, excuse me.
Did you get that from the, you know, Dominion Road Salvation Army or whatever?
And they say, oh my God, yes, I did.
Be like, can I please have it back?
It was a mistake.
When Dad passed away, he had some paintings.
There was one no one wanted.
Didn't know how much it was worth until we saw the exact painting for sale for over $6,000.
We donated that to.
Oh, no.
Charity.
I do love those stories.
Victoria, Victoria, what did you accidentally donate?
I used to keep my passport in my birth certificate in a little trinket box
and safe to say when we moved house, it ended up in the donation box.
Your birth certificate of passport?
What a funny thing.
Never got them back.
Never.
No one found them and tried to trank you down or anything.
I thought that ended up maybe at the police station, but I never got them back.
Oh, no.
They had your name on them.
Yeah.
Some way of contacting you.
Some way of finding out who these belong to.
Oh, that sucks.
Did you have to get a replacement birth certificate as well?
Yes, and it's so expensive.
And having to explain the situation, I felt like such an idiot, eh?
Yeah, and it's a rigmarole when you lose your passport, eh?
It's not just like replacing it if you've already got it.
Because you get to report it, then cancel it, then, yeah.
Oh, Victoria.
Oh, mate.
Some more messages in, thanks.
Somebody messaged in saying it was the late 90s, and mum said,
do you need any of this?
Now, we would have done the same.
As teenagers, you're just like, nah, but you don't even really look.
Don't give it the attention.
You want this?
Mom donated three pairs of my Doc Martin boots.
Those are timeless, though, like, and worth hundreds of dollars.
So expensive.
I'll never forget.
Do you know, like, it's a, like, one of, you know how you've got, like, key family
stories that you never let things drop?
Yeah.
My dad's one was, I was wearing a pair of floral Doc Martins in the 90s as a kid, how cool.
And I stepped in dog purr, my dad put them in a, my mom put them in a plastic bag and
put them in the boat and then my dad was cleaning out the boat
and chuck them in the bin.
Chuck them away.
Yeah, it was like, oh, there's a plastic bag full of rubbish.
And still, Patsy's like, wham.
He probably gave it a sniff. He probably put the bag up and went,
oh, for it.
That sounds like shit. Yeah.
I'd rather just throw these away and clean them and have to deal with them.
Somebody said, not quite the same.
My mum purchased a ring at an op shop for $1.
I always really liked it. Got a value.
Turned out the diamonds were real.
Wow.
Face value was $50,000.
Oh, 100% the person that's donated that has thought that that's costume jewelry, right?
Or it's a divorce and they're super rich
And they're like, you know what?
Go on.
Screw this demon ring.
Yeah.
I'm an office shop coordinator in Christchurch and the crap we get donated is ridiculous.
One time we got a rubbish bag full of leaves.
I'm sorry, what?
And soiled underpants.
Oh, they're so.
Even if my underpants weren't soiled.
Well, I wear my undies until they threw a bear and fall apart.
So there's no chance of donation.
I would never donate undies.
Don't donate undies.
Yeah.
No.
This is sort of similar.
Left my favourite gin wendipers.
Wigmore CD in the car I sold
Sell the car with the CD in it
God, which
Jim Wigmore album was it?
I don't know.
The Jim Wigmore album, of course.
The Jim Wigmore
Jim, Jim, Jim,
Gin Wigmore album.
My partner accidentally donated my one year
old Cloud 9. That's those
hair straightness that are
Chiching. A long time.
Was it just in a pile of clothes to donate?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I was 21 and I spent a fortunate
a new bikini that I took with me
and I was visited by my dear grandma in Hamilton.
Unfortunately, I left my bikini in her bathroom
when I came back to Auckland.
By the time I realized and asked her to keep it safe,
she'd already sold her to the local Salvation Army down the road
where she worked.
She volunteered down there.
Oh, so she just took it.
She took it along and put it on the rack.
Cheapest.
Buying an expensive bikini from the Salvation Army
wasn't on anybody's bingo card.
No, it wasn't.
Yeah.
That was funny
I went to the op shop
And I said, what is this?
There's some old ladies
I knew what it was.
They didn't know what it was.
They thought it was a coffee tamper.
You know that you tapped the coffee down with.
Sort of a flared base.
Fled base with the tap.
Oh, yes.
Tap it in.
It looks like a plug.
Yep.
Okay.
Wow.
Coffee tamper.
It's happened twice.
It's happened twice.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
I don't think you were meant to donate that.
I think that also might have got swept up with a bag full of goods.
Can that go in the glass?
recycling
in the council bin?
Well you know I did it
I did personally have a glass
coffee
a longer one
coffee damper and it smashed
and I put it in the
two pieces in the recycling bin
yeah because I care about the planet
it's glass it can be recycled
I donated a baby 24 years ago
I put them up for adoption as a result of a one-night
stand
we met last year
So I was lucky I got him back.
What is, okay, what is it like meeting, like your kid that you've had nothing to do with for 24 years?
That's its own.
Yeah, that's its own.
Meeting a parent after that long.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have friends that have done that, never knew a father and then met him much later in life.
That's just so odd.
Can we get a follow-up?
What was that like?
Yeah.
Yeah, 6-9-4 if we could follow up.
Yeah, what was that like?
Maybe that's a chat into itself, you know?
Yeah.
get them on the phone.
It's fantastic.
It's fascinating.
Sometimes if you're young as well,
like you just do what you think is best at the time.
And you grow up 24 years later, you're thinking,
where are they?
Oh my gosh.
Perhaps more on this later.
Someone said, Doc Martins are ugly.
They make any person look weird, better off in the bin.
Someone got turned down by a got got turned down by a gotth girl once,
and can't let it go.
Can't let it go.
Well, your boots look weird.
The ZM Podcast Network.
on a haley.
Fat of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do.
It's guide scouts, brownies, pippins, you know, all of the cubs.
That's another one.
That's the one before the scouts.
Before scouts?
Yeah, cubs.
Lots of stories in the US news at the moment about because it's Girl Guide Biscuits.
season.
Dude.
That's exactly what today's
about.
Because there was one
girl scouts or girl
girl guides.
Girl guides here.
Girl scouts of America
that can be
Girl guides of America as well.
There was one because you know
a lot of states
of legalized weed.
Wegalized.
Wegalized.
Weigalized.
They are one of the scouts
or the girl guides teamed up
with a weed shop
and sold cookies
and they were outside.
No inside or in partnership.
Did the cookies have weed in?
Or they were just like.
I've got the munchies, so I'll end of the biscuits.
Oh.
They didn't do a co-lad.
They'd do it a tripment.
That's like, that's insanity.
No, but I think management were like, that's not a good alignment for the brand.
It's not great.
It's not great.
But they sold a heba biscuits.
Oh my God, it's a whole world right, because aren't there like top sellers around the country?
Yeah, well, we're going to touch on all of this in today's factory.
Well, when they put a chocolate coating on, that's when it peaked.
That's what it takes off.
Well, Girl Guide New Zealand stopped doing it.
I'm going to March 2019 after 61 years
because it was just
too bad.
Also you're just not going to be to squiggle, you know?
You're not going to be to Tim Tam.
You're not going to be...
You're not going to be...
No.
Well, the year was 1917, and they were in Muskegee, Oklahoma.
When the Girl Scouts of the USA
made their own cookies at home
and sold them at the local cafeteria to raise money.
And it went really, really well.
They were like, didn't expect that to go so well.
Okay.
So then over the next couple of decades,
it started taking off in the 1930s.
The demand for the cookies had exploded,
and they began partnering with commercial bakeries
to mass-reduced them, rather than
still doing them at home.
So that's when
Samoas were first
Because I...
Samoas. Samoas are one of the most popular
Girl Guide. They're like a brownie.
Oh, yeah. A Samoa
as a type of biscuit.
I just think of the little shortbread with the chalky.
Yeah, our Girl Guy Biscuits were way different.
They have variety. It's a merit.
And they're not going to stand for a plain biscuit.
My goodness me.
I've just had a look on the American Girl Scouts org website.
And like look at all the different ones.
Yum.
What?
Ours were, no offense.
But ours were so basic.
Yeah, but there did go a chocolate dipped towards the end of things.
Yeah, I know.
But that was it.
That's got sprinkles and wrinkles.
That was it.
But sometimes the old plain girl guy, my old man with that
and a big slather of margarine between two biscuits was a go-to.
Oh, my God, margarine between white thickies.
Yeah.
Yum.
So it now sells about 200 million boxes of cookies every year in the United States alone.
Wow.
It's the largest annual cookie sales operation on Earth.
Mm.
And it makes 800 million US dollars a year.
The most popular selling cookie, by far, thin mints.
That's the chocolate covered minty biscuit.
Minty biscuits.
A quarter of all cookie sales are the mint.
Right.
The thin mint.
are they vegan as well? No dairy ingredients
in that? We love that. Yeah.
We're very passionate about it.
So it really took off like the, you know
the old fashion knock, knock, knock,
open the door, Girl Scout, hi,
would you like to buy some cookies? Door to Door.
Took off in 1950s post-World War
2 when sort of suburban America started
taking off. Right. And you could do to the
door-to-door sales pitch. Same time that door-to-door salespeople
for like vacuum planners and everything took off
really as well because it was just so much easier
to cover a lot of ground and a lot of houses
in a day. I've got
the, where's my...
me a tab here where I've got the record for the most for the most cookies ever sold.
Because it's like insane, I.
Katie Francis holds the current record for the Girl Scouts of the USA.
And the 2014 cookie season from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The cooking season.
She sold 18,107 boxes of cookies.
What?
She had booth set up where she was selling out of a booth.
She worked corporate and community bulk orders.
You know when cookie time going to be?
around just before Christmas and they'll be like, I want to order some cookie time,
and then one day they turn up with the buckets.
Her cookies had to be delivered in the truckloads
because she sold so many of them,
and she was the first person that really tapped into social media.
Oh, okay, right.
The total weight of the cookies she sold was over nine tons.
Where is she now?
Is she like a business leader?
Is she like the CEO of a company?
Yeah.
She's an American entrepreneur and motivational speaker
best known for holding the all-time record.
for Girl Scout cookies in America.
She went on Jimmy Fallon
when she did it because she'd taken off so much.
Okay.
She's done it.
So now she travels around, you know,
talking about business and being an entrepreneur.
So today's fact of the day
is from the humble beginnings
in their home kitchens to sell a few dozen
cookies in a high school cafeteria
to an 800 million US dollar a year
business. That's the story of the Girl Scout cookies.
Fact of the day, day,
day, day, day.
The Flethe
The Fletchborn and Haley, big pot
It's a thousand dollars.
Also soon, we want to talk about the fact that
New Zealanders apparently waste
$3 billion worth of food annually.
Yeah.
Because it's food waste action week.
I've got a sloppy bag of wet coriander in my fridge at the moment.
So this is exactly what we want.
want to ask. And if you want to text in now, that'd be
great. 9-6-96. What is currently
the Mancest thing in your fridge?
That's mine. My mum clean my fridge.
Like, celery that's like gone all
goo? Yeah. Goose celery. Or when you
go to pick up a cucumber and it's like,
and you're like, ah! And or you just leave it
there because you can't be bothered, because you know you just
have to clean out your fridge. Or like the nub of a
tomato you've sliced. You're like, I'll save
that for later. No, you want it.
And it's just slowly wilting and shrinking.
Yeah. Shriveling up. Yeah. Or maybe it's a
bottle of condiment or something that you've had
for years and years.
I just got a manky around the lid.
Ranky, rank, rank, rim.
96, 96, what is the mankest thing in your fridge?
We're going to get to the big list soon.
Do you know, yesterday I just had this memory pop up 14 years ago, it said,
and that is always a little bit confronting.
But all you do all morning is go through your memories.
You just love it.
I do.
I love it.
And you want, because my kids are growing up so quick,
and it's lovely to look back and see what they were like when they were little.
And then I sent photos to them, and then they've got those photos.
And then, you know, if something God,
forbid if something happens to me.
They've got photos of their childhood photos.
Yeah, lovely.
Copies of their childhood photos.
So yesterday it was a photo that we've talked about many times on the show.
Maybe the only time Fletcher's held a baby.
I think it is, yeah.
When he was holding Indy, who's 14 now, which means 14 years ago, she was like a newborn,
and she's tiny.
Because she was born quite early, wasn't she?
Yeah, six weeks early and small.
Yeah.
So at the time we got her home.
It was a cute photo.
And Fletch was holding her.
Her head in your hand and her body was finished by the crook of your elbow.
Yeah, like a rugby ball.
I was holding like a winger.
Yeah.
They kept spinning her as well.
So I was like, oh, that's a bit cute.
I said, that's a bit cute.
And I put it on my Instagram story.
I said 14 years ago.
Uncle Fletch.
You know all that I got the reply was?
God, he's aging like fine wine.
Damn.
That boy cheese in the cellar.
Wow.
Cheese in the cellar.
cellar. Chit your cheese in the cellar.
He's a beautiful peanut noir.
Somebody out, and a few people said he's actually looks older there than he does now.
Yeah, aging in reverse, you bastard.
I don't know if I would say I looked older in that photo.
I think I had a bit of a bed going on, maybe.
Yeah, a bit of a scruff.
A bit of a scruff.
Maybe that aged you a little bit.
Maybe that did.
It is unfair.
It is unfair.
It's like, what does he prioritizes, what he prioritizes sleep, and he eats well, and he
exercises regularly, and he drinks more water than anything else.
and it's like it's paying dividends and it makes me sick.
Because I feel like in the last like four months I've looked worse than ever before.
I see footage from the show in the under eye bags and everything.
And I like despite my best efforts, I'm getting three hours of sleep in night.
Okay, you need.
I'm drinking.
You need an alcohol dependency in sorts.
I haven't been to the gym for quite a while.
You went yesterday.
It's paying dividends.
Yeah.
What did you guys do at the gym yesterday?
You guys were like, we're going to the gym before staff meeting.
I lay on the chair, had a chat with the producer girlies, and then you were back.
I was like, what did you get done?
Smashed out a little half an hour workout.
He got a 3-2-minute workout out.
Yeah, right.
Which is great because it rejuvenates the skin in the body and, you know, keeps you young.
I was just there to see if their hotties were there.
There were some hotties at the gym yesterday.
Right.
I was just topping up, working out my brain as well.
Right, okay, getting into a workout.
Well, anyway, yeah, it was all just like, oh, Benjamin Burton.
Oh, wow, he looks so good.
Yeah.
Whatever, you put up your bloody comedy show, promo show.
You knew what you were doing.
Yeah, I did know what I was doing.
But then I have to go on and then be seen in my reality,
which is not a sort of long lens, you know, up the booty shot.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sitting in the three hours sleep.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
It's all about angles.
Whereas Fletch looks good, all angles.
Yeah.
Sick of it actually.
I'm actually.
Sort of annoys me when you don't time up your blowouts with ours.
Okay, yeah, right.
You know what I'm a physical blowouts.
You'd like me to have a physical blowout to make you look better.
Don't help.
Maybe feel a little, a little better.
Yeah.
Have you been, did you finish the sleep podcast about how sleep's really important?
Yeah, I did.
Yeah, but that doesn't, thinking about it all the time.
That just doesn't magically make you be able to, unfortunately.
It's close to magically making you.
But then there's just so much to do at night.
Like the movies or restaurants, bars.
The movies or see boys or just have fun.
We're living.
The ZDN Podcast Network.
Well, this week, or is it this month?
Is it the whole month?
No, it's a week.
No, it's week.
It's waste action.
Food waste action week.
And the reason they're doing this is to highlight the fact that New Zealand is
throw out $3 billion worth of food annually.
There's a webinar.
There's a webinar tomorrow.
You'll be there, Fletch.
between 1 and 2 p.m and online webinar.
I'm actually pretty good because I live right in the city
next to like two or three supermarkets.
I'll just go out every couple of days and buy what I need.
You don't do a weekly shop and then plans change.
No, yeah.
The mints is gone and...
Do you know, this really stung me the other day.
My mum had ordered some groceries online
and I got home at like 7.38 p.m.
And they hadn't been delivered.
And she was like, I just sort of thought they'd turn up.
Yeah.
Nick Minot, knock at the door. It's my neighbour.
he just got home.
The grocery had been sat there since 2 o'clock,
including four packs of chicken.
Oh, I wish.
In the sun, straight in the bin.
Did they not put ice around it?
No, no, it was just in my bag, paper bags.
Yeah, that's... You're not rolling your dice on that, are you?
No, thank you.
I don't want to lose weight that quickly, that badly.
You had a fact...
I should have made some sandwiches,
you should have made some sandwiches.
Show sandwiches.
That's not the way to do it.
Where did you get...
I'd love to...
to know where they get this three billion dollar figure from.
Well, I'm guessing they just survey people and ask them how much food they chuck out or what's
in their fridge.
Estimate.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Three billion dollars.
That's, um, yeah, it's a lot when you think about it.
I definitely go through phases where I'm worse.
And it'll always be during like now when I'm doing a big reset.
You know, and trying to eat healthier and reset the diets.
You get all your stuff together.
And then you're like, oh, shoot, we haven't, well, we haven't lunch.
oh we're out okay well I'll put that in the you know it just kind of
you don't keep up with your original plans yeah yeah
you look at that mince you're like how has the mints kind of cooked itself in the fridge
well I mean at least you can if you don't eat the mints or the whatever the chicken
you can chuck it in the freezer for another time but if you've got produce and that's gone
it's gone yeah it's gone isn't it well actually they've got on here
on the love food hate waste website yeah they do a free
a free fridge
Pickles Workshop
So to make the most of things
that aren't got to the last
Can you pickle it?
Oh right
Okay
Chuck in a jar with some vinegar
Yeah
I just love doing like a
Like a what do you call it
Like a casserole
Oh yeah
Yeah
And you just chucked
And you just chucking up things
Or a frittata with things
We ask what the mankiest thing
You've got in your fridge is at the moment
Okay here we go
And we ask on Instagram
And here are some responses
Morg says
Not me but my mum has eggs
That Expired in September
timber and she thinks she's still going to use those.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
How do you towel again?
Is it if it floats in water?
No, but sinks.
If it sinks, it's good.
If it floats, it's no good.
Even if it stands up on one end, it's...
Ish.
Ish.
Yuck.
No, you want your eggs to be fresh.
Ruby, Ruby says some sandwiches I made for work two weeks ago.
Current status, green.
There's definitely a cucumber slowly turning itself into liquid in the bottom drawer right now.
Yeah, says Zoe.
Yeah, because they come wrapped in that plastic, which I have a massive problem.
with cucumbers being individually wrapped.
I know, why do they,
why do they safe
our own, our own cucumbers?
I don't know.
You're raw dog all our other vegetables.
I'm raw dog a cucumber.
Same.
And I just wash it.
I prefer it.
Because it gets like little
dings and dents,
maybe it's a little protective thing.
And then no one wants to buy them.
But then, yeah, it gets trapped in that plastic thing
and then it starts turning into its juice.
It coagulates.
Yeah.
Shell says cottage cheese
that went off six months ago,
nobody's brave enough to touch it.
Leftover condensed milk from baking.
The odd thing is,
It still looks absolutely fine, but I know she old.
No dip her finger, and I reckon it's still good.
That stuff's not going off.
No, it's so much sugar.
It's preserved in sugar.

or 11pm and go out and put it in your neighbour's bin.
Yes.
Yes.
And you put it in its own bag within the bag.
Oh yeah.
And then you slip in another bin.
You're like, I'm sorry.
Leave it there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A chia seed smoothie says Jen,
they've maxed out in size they've been there so long and they're gross to look at.
If you leave them long enough, they'll actually get basketball size.
Really?
They just keep you bigger.
If you leave it even longer, it's the size of the moon.
Is that?
Okay.
Wow.
If you leave it, you test it.
I had homemade Tatsiki, which was about two weeks old.
It was grim.
As soon as I sent in this message, I'm going to go clean it out, says Ben.
Mart says a dehydrated lemon that will live there indefinitely.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Dehydrated lemon?
Well, you cut the lemon and a half, yes.
I'll use that other half later, and then it goes...
Little rock, and it rattles around, and they're like a bead.
Moldy cheese sauce, says Michaela.

Watermelon kimchi?
How would you do watermelon kimchi?

So Catherine's just like leave it.
Yeah.
Renee, my flatmate's meal prep from over a week ago.
It's also uncovered.

Because it absorbs all the flavors in the fridge, right?
Yeah.
Femented Brussels sprouts from Christmas, says jar.
They'll be alright, right?
I fermented two kilos of them.
There's so many left cryface.
Oh, okay.
Maybe do it right.
Nothing sucks more than doing a big batch or something, and then you taste it.
You're like, I just know.
Oh, it's the pit, say.
My sourdough starter, says Amy, the man care the better.
She comes out once a week for a feed and there's popped straight back in there.

That's legit.
She knows.
Top of the line vet sort of situation.
Top of the morning to you.
Some messages in, some text messages in.
People want to know this.
A half-used tub of watery, moldy sour cream that was used months ago for nachos.
And that was that, I always look south.
cream went hard.
That water layer.
And then the water dehydrates and it just turns into this like chalk.
I literally just threw out some fluffy boys and berries from my fridge last night.
Fluffy?
That's got a hurt because they wouldn't have been cheap.
No.
My cream cheese has prickles.
Crickles?
Like the prickly mould.
Hate mould.
They said how long do I have to leave it before it turns into blue cheese officially?
I've got a container of six-month old bone broth.
that'll be right wouldn't it?
Nah, that's a meat by-proper.
Like, it's had meatiness nearer.
Four-year-old kombucha scobie.
They get mouldy.
I had a mouldy scobie once.
It was incredibly embarrassing.
Okay, here we go.
Cucumbas are in that packaging because it preserves it
and keeps it much longer than unwrapped.
The cucumber is wrapped in plastic
because it goes off so quick without it
because of the high water content.
Oh, okay.
I'll give you that because if I pick a cucumber
from the garden and pop it in the fridge,
it's only a few days so it goes all like limp.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about when you get a rubbery carrot?
Oh yeah.
It's the black tip and then it's like rubbery, like, roo-re-re-re-r.
It's a bit yuck too.
Yuck.
Two-week-old Japanese coleslaw.
I mean, come on guys, let's clean out of our fridges today.
Let's make a universal.
Yeah.
Wild on food waste, we're just about to deal with all of this food waste.
Yeah, but you're not going to eat it.
I think the point is don't let it get to the point of mold.
No, we never will ever again.
Reset.
Not after this.
We're never going to do it ever again.
The Z&P Podcasts not work.
There's an online trend where people are openly admitting the dumbest thing
they've asked chat.
GBT or AI, any of the AI people, any of the AI programs.
Well, the good thing about paying for chat GipT
is I can actually have a look.
Really?
Okay.
I can look through my history as well.
What speed in kilometres is someone going
if they run one and a half kilometres in three minutes, 41 seconds?
We were talking about that after Haley's race, aren't we?
No, that was, I think I watched that track stars
on Saturday night and I was trying to work at how quick Sam Ruth is.
Oh, insanely fast.
Yeah.
That was wild to watch.
I don't have any embarrassing ones.
It's mostly work stuff because every now and then if we're talking about something,
I'll get them to bullet point.
Yeah.
So it's a bit smaller.
What's the difference between a co-op, a union and a federation?
I googled, I asked, AI that at the weekend.
I googled about that.
Revening stuff, man.
A cadaver fat transfer that we talked about last week
where you can take the fat from dead people and put it in your boobies.
What's 839 kilojoules into calories?
I was trying to work out how many calories were in a serving of something.
Oh, yeah.
It's not much fun.
It's quite a lot.
The number got small.
I'll say it's quite a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you see people asking chat to EPT
serious things all the time.
Medical things, building things,
and then being like, this is...
Sometimes you might chuck in a maths equation
because your brain's not working properly.
Yeah.
Because as I've seen that trend as well,
handing your phone to your partner.
You're not worried about the messages.
because there's worse in there
and they open up the calculator app
and it's like 14 minus 6.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
I read an article recently,
I can't find it now,
but it was a lot of psychiatrists.
So,
brain people.
Mental health people being like
the reasons you shouldn't use
chat GPT or AI for therapy?
For therapy questions or anything like that?
Yes, because it's not a human being.
I can't understand the,
deeper intricacies of what you're going through.
It's alarm.
But it's free.
I know it's free.
And how much is therapy, exactly.
It's got to be better than nothing.
And you can tell it to be real with you.
You can be like, stop sugar cutting it, give it to me.
But I love that someone was literally just messaging us before that they've had eggs since September.
I'm sure you're to Google or AI.
Are these eggs still good?
A.
A we'd definitely say no.
A soul knows.
No.
The soul knows.
Okay, well, this is what we want to know right now.
800,000, text in Super EZEZE-9-6.
What is like the dumbest thing you've asked AI?
No judgment.
No judgment.
No judgment.
We want to know now.
The dumbest thing you've asked AI because a lot of people sharing it online, being very
vulnerable.
Yeah.
I'm actually quite proud.
I did go back to my chat GPT history and I'm all right.
Yeah, mine's not too bad.
Mine's not too bad.
I think I might Google more dumb things than I ask.
A.I.
Because you know that AI saves everything and it's there.
Without even knowing that's why I'm doing it.
Yes.
Like subconsciously.
Yeah.
Sam, what's the dumbest thing you've asked AI?
I've asked it how to make friends in 2026.
Oh.
It's hard.
Like, and making adult friends is so hard.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What did it suggest?
What did it suggest?
What did it suggest?
It's basically just said to join a club, join the gym.
I was going to say what you're into.
Ask a stranger for a coffee.
Oh no, don't do that.
That's creepy.
But that's the thing.
If you talk to someone in public now,
people are just like, well, what's happening?
Who are you?
What do you want?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grab their handbag.
She's trying to rob me.
I've also heard, like, and you hear this
a lot, that people that move to New Zealand
that emigrate here,
immigrate?
Immigrate.
They emigrate because they exit their country
and they immigrate.
They've said that it.
It's really hard.
Kiwis and Ozzy's really clicky.
They have their friend groups.
Shut up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, you know, it's very hard to be open to more friends.
Hard to penetrate.
Yeah, so, I don't know.
How's it going, though, Sam?
Have you tried any of those things?
Well, I've joined a gym, but I don't really talk to anyone at the gym.
No, everybody's puffing and sweating.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they've got their headphones in.
But you could.
You could, like, strike up some combos.
Oh, somebody else has messaged in.
I have no friends either, a 31-year-old female in Nelson.
We're about to you, Sam.
I'm in Christchurch.
Oh, that's not bad.
And have a Friends Day in Hamna.
Have a, oh, lovely.
Hopper.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think Christchurch.
God, we're worse than chat, GPT, though.
We're like, um, I don't know.
I talk to someone.
I mean, we'll probably come down at some point.
Come say hi.
Yeah.
I'll definitely come so high.
Sure.
Yeah, we'll have a, um, we'll have a cocktail at that bar on that street with the tram.
Yes.
That's lovely.
Is it?
We'll see you at the bar on the street with the tram, Sam.
Hopefully that helps Sam.
Thank you, Eve.
What's the dumbest thing you've got,
chat GPT or AI'd lately?
Hi, everyone.
I asked Chad GPT if I can cook salmonella.
Like, cook it out?
Yeah, you mean cock it out?
Like, get rid of it, by cooking the chicken.
Yes, yes, that's what I meant.
No.
You can.
Can you?
No.
Yes.
No, isn't it that you can't?
If the chicken's got salmonella, it's got salmonella?
No.
Okay
Chat Chipiti said you can
As long as it reaches 75 degrees
Celsius
That's why chickens always
Cooked a 75
Because it kills the most common things in the chicken
Oh
Right
Okay
So did you cook the chicken
I did
I'm still alive
Yes
She's washing at salmonella
Yeah I don't know
We literally just talked about food wise
But if I was having to chat chipita
Can I cook out the salmonella from this
I think that does
But you would know it had salmonella
Because salmonella
Yeah, the thing is I don't know if it has salmonella
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If it's green and slimy, you can't cook that out of the chicken
That's only going to make things worse
But you don't know if it's got salmonella in it, right?
I love that.
Eve, thank you.
Some messages in.
Tell Sam there's a group of new friends under the Christchurch subreddit.
Well, she's gone, but if she's still listening.
Oh, yeah, right, that's a good idea.
Oh, yeah, that's-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
And there's a thing in there about.
Oh, my God, now people are just wanting to help.
up Sanfling groups of friends.
There's so many.
Oh, that's lovely.
BFF is where I made my best friend of five years
at the age of 26, just been the mater of honor at a wedding.
Highly recommended for making friends as an adult.
That's right. So it's a dating at Bumble,
but it's not the dating set you choose
just to make friends. That's a good idea
too. Yeah. Yeah.
You do want to watch for your undercover lesbians, I will say.
Swimming around.
Sharks. Yeah, they've got the shark fin on their head.
That's how you...
Got a crush on you and made you fall in love with me.
Yeah. Now I live in your house.
I use chat chvety
And we've just bought a Subaru forest
Yeah
They move fast
I'm having a child
I don't know
I use chat chit
to help me win arguments
With my wife
And turns out
I'm just wrong
Yeah
Yeah
Funny
The most asked question
For my chat chepti
Is this a plant
Or a weed
I do that
What's this?
I do lots of what's this
I forget
Because you remind me
You can just take
Photos of things
You're like
How to fix this
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
What's this one
How do I fix this
Yeah
some other dumb questions people have asked the AI
how do I get Wi-Fi without internet
how do I get Wi-Fi without the internet
you've got to get the Wi-Fi to get the internet
yeah that's dumb yeah yeah no yeah
oh my God Sam I have no friends either
okay we've really blurred the dumbest things you've asked chat GPT
and to how to make adult friends
and how to make adult friends
maybe we could extend that and do that on the show
tomorrow because I feel like we do need to make this more prime time and expand on us.
It is such a thing for so many people.
Yeah.
You know me, I'm a friend Magna.
I could actually spear a couple.
Oh, who are we going to get rid of out of the friend group?
Name two.
Imagine if I just drop two names.
So I'm happy to part ways of them, you know, make new friends.
Out of the gaggle.
You know, I've done a bit of a cull in the last few years.
No, I'm good now.
The giggle doesn't have to be cull.
No, giggle doesn't have to be culled.
She can take other friends from elsewhere.
Gaggles had a bit of a shave around the sides.
It's fine.
It's a perfect size.
No, no, I'll find some other friends.
Well, someone said at dinner party,
sometimes if the conversation's getting a bit smart,
they sneak away to the toilet and, like, chat GPT,
a whole lot of, like, points about whatever they're talking about.
Oh, yeah.
So they can come back and be involved.
That's okay.
I want to start, yeah.
You can sneak off and find an encyclopedia in a look.
But you've just got to realize that, you know,
that sometimes you're not the smartest person at the table.
Why, I once was at a table with all these people that worked in, like,
Astro and like Rocket Lab and
No not Rocket Lab, SpaceX
Yeah. Really? I'm literally
the dumbest person at this table but you know
The food was yum
I asked chat GPT if girl cats had
Penises
Our kitten was meant to be a girl but we saw a
Large Pink penis when scratching
her on the tummy
No obviously not
Sam's welcome to join the non-runners run club in Christchurch
We love new people
Non-runners you go for a run but it's a group of non-runners
Oh no I thought you meant we just met it
a bar and it was a funny take on. Same way for we'd non-run, we don't run. We do everything but
run. Run-run is run club. I'm a 14,
there's like, I'm a 42 year old female with no
friends. Yeah, I think tomorrow on the show I think we really should delve into this.
I think it's well because people put their lives into their partners and children.
And then they leave. And then all the friends go. Yeah, but it would be a lot more common.
What happened to the old friends? Well, because people get busy with family and lives and stuff,
don't they? Back to the other subject. Somebody said, I had to sneak away and use
chat chip you
to solve my seven-year-old's
math question homework.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I reckon I've hit
about my limit
of being able to help Indy
with anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's related.
The Fletchborn and Haley
Big Pod.
If you've been to a hens do
and there was a stripper there
and you thought
this is a bit much
or this makes me an kind of
we don't do that anymore.
Oh, we're not objectifying
the male form no longer.
We are.
This may be,
for you, there is a rise in the
high ridge of
not strippers for hens do,
but, and I'd like to bring in
producer Shannon here. Oh, okay.
Bit of a tease.
Magicians. Yeah, baby.
Now, your
magicians. Your only partner
is a professional
magician. Hazam.
Yeah, that's how he does it.
Galahazoo, or something like that.
Has he done hensdos before?
Yeah, he's had a huge
influx of requests for
recently. He's done a few in the past, but not often, because people, I think, are looking
more for like a funny $100 gag. He's a pro-level magician. He's like, it's a serious job for
him and he makes good money from it. Yeah. But he's not going to just go into a hens do, is he?
Yeah, but I've seen, like, no, but I've seen so many videos online of this. So there was a real
viral video a while ago of someone having a magician at their hensdo, a full, like, dove appearing
out of the collar. Wow. And people, now it's become this
big trend and yeah I've seen so many people send it to me being like does this get you
going like is this you're a stripper how much is a stripper and how much what I just googled
that yeah so between 250 to 400 dollars for a stripper for a hens do for a professional magician
it's going to set you back a way more than that way more than that yeah but so that's three three
three 50ish for a three to five uh song routine ending in g ending in the string yep okay um if you
want to go down to
the goods. All of this is Google
on the work Wi-Fi. Good stuff. Yep.
Yeah. It's research. She's talking about it on air.
Yeah, totally. And honestly, this is
nothing. I mean, guys, I've got a deck
of cards on me now. If you want to pay me
about the same, I could be quite a
bad magician for you for about that. I know about that.
I know about like three tricks.
See, there's a massive difference
between a bad stripper and a bad magician.
That's so true.
Yeah. But also, like, would you want
to be doing a magic performance?
in front of drunk people?
Like, wouldn't they just be,
I see what you're doing there, it's under your sleeve?
He has it a lot where people forget what card they picked.
Oh, yes.
He'll be like, put a card and then he'll be like,
and they're like, I don't know, man, probably.
I kind of get it.
It's way more engaging and interactive.
Like, because not everyone at a hens party.
I've never been to a hens party with a stripper.
I've been to a couple of, they're just so awkward.
They're so awkward.
They're so awkward.
And only a couple of the people would be interested in,
like engaging.
Whereas if the magician,
it's a lot more comfortable
and fun and a bit more
I don't know, but now I am
on a website,
beer butlers.com.
Mail strippers,
energetic entertaining.
We'll leave Haley there.
Custumes, cop, fire,
army, cowboy.
No magician?
No magician.
No magician.
See, you'd be just a blue
if you're expecting magic
and they turned up
and he started taking his clothes off.
540 if you want the full
full.
Oh, really?
Really? If you want pain.
540 if you want the panene.
Wow.
If you want the panini,
another podcast in the bag.
The plastic bag.
Are they back?
No, no.
Still banned.
They never left.
That's where you come in with the line, boy.
Boy, man, if you enjoyed that.
Okay.
Oh, and if you enjoyed it,
give us a rating and a review
and be sure to tell all of your friends.
God, I need some sleep.
Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley.
