The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Good morning. Good morning. Hayley's been coughing. I am, I'm crook for sure. And I woke up this morning and did another rat

and it is like the cleanest negative. Like it was yesterday. Clean negative. So, Chanelette pyjamas just made me a little Baraka gives you back your baby bounce. And now I'm looking at some, the Panderosa Miniature Ranch Vaughan to just bring up. Oh, that'll make you feel good.

Little funny animals. Mini, mini miniature cows. Yeah, yeah, that'll make you feel real good. I'll send you this link. Somebody sent me. It was nuts. This person owns this little farm, and he's talking about all his animals,

and they're all running around. And then a camel appears. He's got a camel on his little farm. In New Zealand? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I assume, I think it's America. It's like snowing. It's snowing farmland.

But I'm wondering now, what is the legality of a... I don't want a full-size camel. Do they do miniatures? I don't know if they do, but I saw the videos yesterday of the snow leopards at Wellington Zoo. I was like, so cute. So cute.

So cute. I want to put my face into their belly. I don't know if you'll last long doing that. Great news, everybody. there are miniature camels. Are there in New Zealand though? No. How miniature? Like miniature ponies? Miniature ponies?

No, I've been absolutely lied to. This is the, I was actually just reading about this before, about what alpacas were before they were like domesticated. Oh, that is a llama. Well, no, llamas are different. They're a bigger, also domesticated version of this species.

Look at some animals. That'll cheer you up this morning. I think it's going to really make me feel good, energise me. The top six is coming up, Vaughan. Yeah, apparently the King's Coronation, if you might have heard in the news there that Harry will be attending, but Meghan's going to stay at home and look after the kids,

a.k.a. she does not want to go and see her in-laws. And we've all done that, eh? I'll just stay home and look after the kids. I mean, you guys haven't, because Fletch, you don't have in-laws, and Hayley, you don't have kids. So actually, no one's done that. I'll stay home and look after the kids. A great excuse. But apparently the King's coronation

is being rushed and I've got the top six signs that the King's coronation's all been left to the last minute. Why? How? It's been in the works for so long. No one wants to be part of it, do they? They're not as into it. The musicians and stuff aren't as forthcoming as they were for like the royal

weddings and other bits and pieces like the Queen's Jubilee. They're not as forthcoming. Have they asked Oasis? I think they would say no. You think Oasis would say no? One of them might say yes. Yeah. But the other gal doesn't want a bar of it, does he?

No, you can't risk it with someone like Oasis because they'll get out there and be like, Yeah, he's old chubby fingers is the king now, isn't he? He would you can't risk it with someone like Oasis because they'll get out there and be like, yeah, his old chubby fingers is the king now, isn't he? He would be naughty. And swear at him, yeah. Coming up on the show as well, we'll give you today's cash combo.

Artists, a chance for you to win $1,000 cash. Soon we'll have our silly little poll. How do you feel about kissing people with beards? Mm-hmm. That was based on

yesterday's research. It was. That kissing people with beards is really bad for you. You get skin infections. Yeah, gross. Because they cut up your skin. But next I want to talk about a movement happening in Ireland at the moment. In their gig and concert scene.

Alright, it's next. Do we know the comedian Tommy Tiernan? No. No. Vaughan, do you know him, Tommy Tiernan? Tommy Tiernan. He's an Irish comedian. No, I don't know Tommy Tiernan.

Oh, he's quite handsome. You know I love a silver fox. You know, like he's got a sort of small beanie on and a silver beard. Oh, right, and he's got a beard. You love a beard. Well, if I can't have a sort of massive hairy man, the next thing I go to to other than a boyish woman is a

silver fox man. Yeah. Number three on your list. Those are my top three types. He kind of looks a bit like Andy Serkis with a beard. Yum. Yum. Yes, fantastic. Anyway, he was doing a tour around Ireland

and one of the things that he enforced at his show was no phones. Right. No phones, like don't record me. I feel like that's maybe a little bit more common for like theatre, comedy, live acts like that. A lot of comedians don't like it because they do the same, I mean people may not know this, but they do the same set, the same jokes every night, night after night. And the point of comedy is to make it seem like it's just happening now.

It's all BS. It's all BS. So, yeah, like he did that and it got people talking about it. And now apparently all around Ireland people are doing this, performers are doing this, including musicians. And they're thinking about implementing it as an actual law, I guess, of not having

phones at concerts. One, because people just leak. As you say, there might be surprises in shows and all that. You know, like Taylor Swift diving into the offstage bit. Wouldn't you want to, if you were seeing there,

if you were seeing that concert, wouldn't you want to be surprised by that? But we all knew it was going to happen. I always wondered about that. Like you're watching a comedian special and then they're touring that special. Yeah. And then, I mean, live comedy is different

because some people like laughing at a crowd, but I just like sniggering quietly at home on the couch with a mouthful of chips. Oh, yes, you do. Although most of those like comedian specials are released after they tour right? Yeah I love the time they'll end with recording their special but it's like when you watch a

comedian and you'll hear them go you know what the other night and you're like and then you hear them say the other night for like maybe the next two years and you're like well that's not true anymore wasn't the other night. No it wasn't. Did it even happen? Now I don't believe you. Now I've lost touch. Anyway, so, because the musicians and stuff

are so sick of people like watching the performance through their screen. And I'm guilty of this. Like when I went and saw, who was the last person? Oh! Billy Joel. Oh, Billy Joel. No, I was very present during Florence. Yes.

During Billy Joel, it's like he's so iconic and you play an iconic song and your knee-jerk reaction is like, I've got to film this so I can remember this forever. I'll never watch that. If I wanted to watch good footage of Billy Joel, I could literally... Watch a special on YouTube or anywhere. Watch a concert, yeah.

So they're going to make it, they're going to sort of try out this role for live comedy, live music, gigs and stuff. And they expect to see more in the future of having signs saying, like, you either hand in your device or if we see you using your device, which they do in musical theatre. I don't know why it's always been a thing in musical theatre. If they see you with your phone, they'll confiscate it.

Well, except when that guy got nude. Remember that guy from Grey's Anatomy got nude in that stage show and everybody leaked his giant wang? Yeah, well, I will say I saw years and years ago Sir Ian McKellen as King Lear. And I swear when he dropped his trousers, that thing nearly hit the floor. And there were a number of phones in the theatre. Wait, Sir Ian McKellen's had his wang out. Yeah, when I was at drama school, I think,

like literally years ago, he was touring around, I think it was the Royal Shakespeare Company. Right. And he played King Lear, and in the end, I know you know King Lear well, and I don't want to patronise you by explaining the end.

Oh, of course, you know me and my Shakespeare. I know. Sorry, Hayley, I went to a public school. I've got no idea. Well, let me tell you, King Lear at the end, he loses his mind. And when Sir Ian Macallan's King Lear lost his mind, he took his clothes off and

truly the room was aghast. Jeez, okay. Did he slam it on the ground and say, you shall not pass? Like he utterly could have. Wow. Good for him. Wow.

And again, a whole new meaning to a whole lot of Hobbit quotes. You know, when he says to Bilbo, a wizard is never late. He's always on time. He's never early or late. He arrives when he should. Yes. Oh, daddy, tell me more. Daddy, tell me more. Daddy, tell me more.

Next on the... Unnecessarily sexual. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a study's been done looking into Gen Z and millennial men's habits, and more than 7 in 10, 73% of Gen Z

and millennial men admit they need an intervention when it comes to their self-care habits. Like what? What is a man's self-care routine? Okay, well, one of the most disgusting stats to come out of this study is that only 54% of young men are brushing their teeth daily. Oh. Daily.

I thought you were talking about, like, mental health. You were just talking about being grubs, being absolute grubs. Oh. Daily. I thought you were talking about like mental health. You were just talking about being grubs. Being absolute grubs. Yeah. Daily. Daily. Like you would do that at least twice, right? At least twice. Maybe after lunch, have a little brush. Yeah. Well, yeah, depending on what you have for lunch. Depending on what you have for lunch,

you definitely could be giving them another brush. Because have you ever been in the bathroom or going to the toilet here at work and someone's having a quick brush to the teeth? Yes, I have. Getting the tongue and everything. Like right where people are like pooping. It's quite an intimate act.

What, are you taking a poop in the sink at work? You shouldn't be doing that. That's not for pooping. In the same vicinity. In the same room. Yeah. Right. I don't know.

Are you one of these people that gets worried about poop particles? Well, yeah, because have you seen those up-close videos? There's poo particles. I don't know. There's up-close videos. I think there's poo particles everywhere we go. You can't escape them. We're simply living in the poo particles world at this stage.

They're the true rulers of the planet. So this study looked and talked to men between the ages of 18 and 26 and 27 and 42, so both Gen Z and millennial men. Two in five revealed that they need someone to confront them about their skincare regime or lack thereof, as well as their diet, 42%. Other aspects of their life in need of an intervention include fitness levels, 37%, and how much sleep they get, 34%. Do you have a, you've got a skincare routine

because I used it the other day. Well, I've just got a face wash. Yeah, and a moisturizer. And a, yeah, and I've got some moisturizer, yeah. Vaughn, do you skincare? I, I like, have a moisturizer. Well, 33% of men, Gen Z or millennials have no skincare routine at all. Do you know, Aaron?

It's because they're still young, though. They're going to panic when they hit 40 and it's all like falling off. Get some wrinkles. But I've got a skincare routine, which is why this. Because 23, right? Oh my God, Fletch. Sure. 23.

23 what? This day's already better. Years old. Yeah. 20, I think. Since what? You left school? Way to ruin that.

It would be. What are we talking about? Are you saying? Come on. Come on. Come on. Look at this. Look at this face. Did you not hear how happy she was? People are aghast. It on. Come on. Come on. Look at this. Look at this face.

Did you not hear how happy she was? People are aghast. It's a black lie. Are you saying? No, you've taken it a bit too far. You're taking the piss. Like 28. What are you going to give me?

28. 28. That's all right for a 33-year-old. But I've got a bit of a skincare routine, and I also invest money in it. I drop a bit of money in it. People spend a lot, don't they? I know. And then I just realised the other day, I went to use my face wash, which I'm looking at now.

She's not cheap. Aaron's been using it. Oh no. So does this fall under the category of what's yours is ours but what's mine is mine? Yes. Because at the moment, because we don't have a bathroom, it's in our little

port-a-shower thing. And so I guess when he just is in there and he looks for a face wash, he sees this face wash, which is the Toucha rice wash. And he has just been using it. Wait, did you use my face wash?

Because you did. You said you did. That's fine. But mine's $7. Mine's $74. What? No. You don't. But you did. That's fine. But mine's $7. Mine's $74. What? No. You don't.

But you used my face wash. It did the same, right? Did it feel good afterwards? No, but look, now I've got a pimple near my eye. Now all I can blame is your cheap $7 face wash. Well, I don't have the, I mean, I get the odd pimple. Yeah, well. I don't know.

I still stand by the best face wash I've ever had is that St. Ives foot scrub with apricot stones smashed up. Dude, that stuff is so brutal. You were literally like cutting your skin. Good. It deserves it. I'm going to keep on top of who's boss around here. Foot scrubs are for your feet. Also, that stuff is cancelled.

It was so aggressive. Afterwards, your face feels so smooth. You've just literally sandpapered it. Yeah, it's not made anywhere near that photo on the bottle. It's made in, like, the USA. Oh, yeah. It's absolutely alive. It's made on the way to St. Ives by a man and his seven wives.

And each wife has seven cats and each cat has seven kittens. I don't believe it is. You need to calm down with your skincare. I know all of it's expensive. Get the $7 one. It does the same job. The Tatcha rice wash. Oh, my God.

Do you remember back in the day when we all just used to rub a bar of soap on a flannel and then just go ham? Cleopatra. Remember when your face wash was like your mum's spit on a sleeve? Yeah. When you were about to leave the car? Come here. Come here.

Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletchford and Hayley. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Silly little pole Silly little pole Today's silly little pole. Do you like kissing someone who has a beard? Now, this doesn't mean do you like kissing a man who's dating a girl as a cover-up for a fact that he's a gay man. Not that kind of beard. That's a different, he's a gay man? Not that kind of beard. That's a different term.

That's a different sort of beard and I'd imagine if you were even considering answering that question, the answer is yes, you do quite like kissing the man who's got the fake girlfriend. Do you like kissing someone who has a beard? No thanks or yes please. No thanks. 56%. Wow.

44% of people saying yes. Is that hard? 44% of people saying yes. Is that hard for you to take having a big bushy beard? No, no, not at all because we've got to take into account that men may have answered and some men don't like kissing other men, let alone men with beards. We didn't actually screen it, did we?

No. And beards aren't for everybody and that's fine because I'm already enough of a sought-after piece of ass. You're breaking it. He's getting emotional. I'm emotional. I'm emotional about the fact of the sort of high sexual demand I find myself in day to day.

He's New Zealand's most sought-after piece of ass, to be honest. Correct. Correct. So 44% of people saying yes yes 56 percent of people saying no let's see what the people like to say caitlyn said my first boyfriend couldn't grow facial hair to save himself and ever since i broke up with him i ran in the opposite direction and now i only date men who have beds love kissing someone with facial hair way more oh sometimes it's cute. Yeah, and then at the bottom she said,

Vaughn, call me. I'm sorry, Caitlin. I am married. And also I'm in hot demand, so I don't want to call you because there might be somebody else I want to call instead. Also, he's in hot demand because everyone thinks he's Ben Barrington from Shortland Street. Yeah, they get it confused. They do get it quite confused.

He's a bit hot. He's a bit of a dish. We've got a much different rig. We've got a different midsection. His is... His is a disaster and yours is just a chiseled piece of marble. Courtney says,

all the sexy men have beards. I think we all know who she's talking about. Kayla says, have you seen a man with a beard? Yes, please. Stop it, Michaela. I'm married and I'm also in hot demand. I don't think she was hitting on you in that message. I don't think it's all sort of about you, yeah.

Well, I'll be speaking on behalf of all men with beards on the show today. Okay. speaking on behalf of all men with beards on the show today. Antonia says, no beard for me and no risk of pash rash. That shit hurts. But you'll get pash rash from stubble a lot more than you will from a long beard. Yeah, totally. That spiky level before it

becomes a full beard. Lisa said, I don't really care. If you're kissing them, you must think they're okay anyway. Oh oh judge the person on their lips person oh person

lips well that should be tomorrow's little poll do you like kissing people with lips or without lips I go without lip I just do tongue

do you tuck your lips over your teeth yeah how you make it look like you've got no teeth no you go tuck your lips over your teeth. Yeah. How you make it look like you've got no teeth. Yeah. And you go... Just full tongue.

Hot stuff. It's hot, man. It's actually quite hot. Winter says, yes, but only if it's clean, trimmed and established so it's soft and not scratchy. It's better than sandpaper stubble. Yeah, true.

She's got some pretty strict rules to follow there. Kelsey says, it hoits. It's scratchy and it hoits. Oh, it hoits. I just don't think Kelsey's kissed a real man's beard. She's probably tongue to... Tongue to... She's probably tongue to stubbly boy.

Yeah, that'll be it. Yeah, that'll be it. We've all tongue to stubbly boy. Yeah, that'll be it. Yeah, that'll be it. We've all... We've all tongue to stubbly boy. You're right. We've all tongue to some stubble. And Elise says, no thanks, lesbian. That's all she says.

No punctuation. Just no thanks, lesbian. No thanks, lesbian. Lesbians are very short and succinct, aren't they? Yeah, they are. In their messaging. They're very punctual. Very punctual.

Especially when dealing with men or delaying moving in with their new partner. They'll just get straight in there. I want to do it now. Let's move in together. Six months later, we've made a horrible mistake. I'm moving out immediately. Time is of the essence.

That's today's silly little poll. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. This is an article I stumbled across yesterday as I was perusing the internet in a very innocent fashion. And it is something that's becoming a bit of a trend amongst young

millennial women. And I do not believe I have done this before. As a young millennial woman. Am I a millennial women. And I do not believe I have done this before. As a young millennial woman. Am I a millennial? Yeah. You are. Thank you. This is the idea of when you take a nice picture

of yourself, say some lingerie or a little butt shot or perhaps even a nude that is intended for a consensual lover, instead of sending it directly to someone maybe you were sexually interested in, you send it to your mates, your platonic friends.

And the reason that people are doing this is, one, to sort of normalise, I guess, celebrating the bod. And two, your mates will give you an instant ego boost. Vaughn and I have been doing this for years, haven't we? Have you? Years, ever since the days of the grainy Nokia 9410. Wow. Vaughn will just be like, here's my dumper today after the gym.

I'll be like, you are squatting hard, bro. Yeah. Good dumper. Yep. I mean, the idea of this is sort of funny to me. Because then I feel. There's certainly friends that you know instantly you could send that kind of stuff to. Hell yeah, and be like, look how good I look.

But also, like, it's a bit weird that you're friends. Look, I don't know if I'd pop it into our group chat. No. That sort of feels off, you know. It's not a thing of interest. No, I feel like. I don't want to say you get roasted, but the group chat's very roasty. Remember when I kept trying to get you to look at my boobs when they were really sunburned? Yeah.

Neither of you would have a good geese. No. Well, we don't want to go straight up to HR. That's the problem. Straight up. You'd be straight up. In fact, you asking us to have a look was straight up to HR, really, wasn't it? That was not a jot it down. That was straight up there, In fact, you asking us to have a look was straight up to HR, really, wasn't it? That was not a jot it down, that was straight up there

forcing us to look. You think so? Me saying, look, look at my boobs, hey boys, look at these. Vaughn, come over here, can you look at these? I know you've said no five times, but look at these, look at these, look at these.

But do you have, actually, do you have friends that you could be like, here's a tasteful nude? Like, would you want to even see your friend's nude? Well, this is the thing. They're saying, like, if you start a kind of thing, like, you have to sort of say, like, hey, guys, I'm taking some pictures. Yeah.

Do you want to see them? They look great. You have to have, like, consent. You can't just, like, drop a nude at a mate. Here's, like, 10 nudes. What do you think? I'm going to send these to someone. And some nudes are very direct.

Well, yeah, there's a level, isn't there? You know, some might be a little cute over-the-shoulder lingerie shot and some might be right in the eye. All the fanfare. All the fanfare. But I know what all my best friend's nipples look like. Most of your best friends are men. Yeah.

Yeah. Mine are men. Yeah. Yeah. Mine are tiny. So I just think, you know, that's a real sort of like, we're very good friends because I could pick your nipples in a line-up. And yet you wouldn't look at mine. I just don't understand what your issue is.

I feel like we've got a good friendship going on. We've got a very good friendship going on. Not nipple-level friendship. No. How very good friendship going on. Not nipple level friendship. Oh. How do I take our friendship to the nipple level? I don't know if we want to see those dinner plates. I was imagining you rocking a couple of coasters. They look like a bread plate sitting on top of a dinner plate.

Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello there. The King's Coronation. Oh, let me get a date on this.

King's Coronation, oh, let me get a date on this. King's Coronation will take place on Saturday the 6th of May at Westminster Abbey in London. And apparently it's not very well organised. Sources inside the event are saying that it's all coming together last minute. Oh, dear. Is it true the company's sending the hosk? Did I hear that right? The hosk?

How did he get that gig over us? Well, you know, they're royals. Do you know what? He loves them so much, he should just stay there. Well, that's actually not a bad idea. We could do the show from London. Oh, my God, London. Go see a musical.

London is Calling, I believe, is the song. Yeah. You got it. So I've got the top six signs that it's all coming together last minute, that it's all just been chucked together. Number six on the list of the signs that King's Coronation is left for the last minute, the organisers of New Zealand.

She'll be right. It'll come together on the day. It's bloody May 6th, mate. It's what, three weeks? Three or four weeks? Don't worry about it. Five portaloos, that'll be enough. How many people are coming? 100, 200, 300? Number five on the list of the

top six signs that King's Coronation's been left to the last minute. The special carriage still has the Queen's casket on it, but there's just a tablecloth over it. God, that'd be a bit stinky at this point, wouldn't it? They got all involved in the pomp and ceremony and forgot to take it off. Yeah. So, oopsie.

Number four on the list of the top six signs the King's coronation's been left to the last minute. The crown that he'll wear is just a paper one with some beads and glass things hot glued to it, courtesy of George and Charlotte. Look, he doesn't have hot glue. He's got no time for it, so he doesn't want it. No time at all.

Number three on the list of the top six signs the King's coronation's been left to the last minute. Megan couldn't get a babysitter. I know. So she's staying in LA. Is she boycotting or was she not invited? I really need to know which one that is. I just literally Googled King's coronation and you know how it suggests the top stories?

Yeah. Like all of them are about Prince Harry to attend King's coronation. Meghan staying in California. Meghan stays in place in the US. Harry, yes. Meghan, no. Again, everybody's just feasting on that nonsense. Number two on the list are the top six signs

that King's Coronation's been left to the last minute. When asked about catering, they were like, oh, I guess we'll just go to Costco for a platter of club sandwiches. What's wrong with that? Easy. Easy. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Shit the air. We got some chicken nibs from there for Super Bowl. Pretty good. Pretty good. A little warm up in the oven and you're away laughing. Okay.

And number one on the list of the top six signs that King's Coronation's been left to the last minute are just going to use the Santa Parade street decorations. Why not? They only get used once a year. It's a waste. Yeah, it is a waste. And you know, just a happy decoration, aren't they? They are. That is today's top six.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now this one is old news which is the vodka pasta sauce. Have you seen this? No. Oh, really? Where have you been? Where have you been?

Vodka pasta sauce? Yes, you get like a tomatoey pasta sauce that you're making and then you add vodka to it. It's quite, it's an old thing. Like, could I just get a jar of Dolmio? Pasta a la vodka. Jar of Dolmio and a bloody crystal of vodka. Mate, you are Italian as you like.

Yeah, bro. So usually penne a la vodka is a pasta dish made primarily with vodka and penne pasta. It's all in the name. Usually accompanied with a heavy cream crushed tomato and onions and sometimes some meats and stuff. Apparently adds a really nice layer of flavour. I've never made it.

Okay. Now there is a new vodka trend on TikTok. Vodka butter. Vodka butter. They're calling it basically a boozy buttercream. So the ingredients are butter, vodka, end recipe. Wait, do you put that in your mixer and blend it out? You get a little mixer, like it's got to be sort of a room temp butter.

Then you get your vodka, you put that in, you whip it up so it's sort of a whipped butter, yum, and then you spread it on toast. And you can do anything with it. They say it's delicious, silky smooth, has a little bit of a mwah, mwah to it. Once in 2009 when I was on hallucinogenics. That's that weight loss shake, eh? It's like isogenics except you see things. Yeah, right. It's a multi-level marketing scheme involving things that make you see things that aren't there. Right. When I can talk about this,

I believe the statute of limitations has passed um whilst on hallucinogenics um my friend johnny who will be listening um but i will know johnny of anybody everybody's called johnny um certainly this isn't incriminating to him whatsoever but we were making some kiwi dip with uh onions yeah and what is that reduced cream and wallpaper paste, I believe. Yeah. And he said, we put in vodka, and we were like, you're talking crazy. He's like, it is the universal creamer. And it became a funny joke, and then we lost our minds and laughed

for about 18 minutes, I believe 18 minutes. Yeah, I mean, that's a funny sentence. But I swear to you, there was something different about that dip. Now it may have been the hallucinogens, but could have been. Do you add, how much vodka are you adding to the onion dip or the butter? Like it must only be a tiny

cap. A glug glug. As I believe the official measurement, I'll have to check this with the chef, who may or may not remember the entire evening, but it was a glug glug of vodka. Right. For this they say you need the butter, it's or may not remember the entire evening, but it was a glug glug of vodka. Right. For this they say you need the butter. It's like 225 grams of butter. So that's half a block of butter.

Yeah. That's a lot of butter. A lot of butter. And then 90 grams or 90 mil of vodka. That's a lot of vodka. That's a lot of vodka. So that's a shot. That's three shots.

That's a double plus a single. Yeah, yeah. Triple shot. And then they say if you smear it on toast, they recommend with some sort of salty fish, like a smoked fish or an anchovy on top, maybe a little grated, a little bit of lemon zest on top. See, this isn't a breakfast thing.

This is like, I would imagine, like a garlic. Would it work on garlic bread? Don't smear vodka butter on your mummafair rallies, all right? There's already enough margarine in there. Just add a couple of glug glugs to my mummafair rallies, alright? There's already enough margarine in there. Just add a couple of glug glugs to my mummafair rallies? You can't mix margarine and vodka. You can't just glug glug a vodka down a mummafair rally. It's already a soggy mess.

Why can't you? It's already a sloppy soggy mess. No, that's a mess. But they also said that if you want to go a sweet route, then you could do maybe a jam or a marmalade with this vodka butter. I've been known to enjoy a sweet root. Yeah. Me too.

Yeah. I love taking the sweet root. Okay. Well, I mean, there you go. It's what you say, the universal creamer. It's vodka, the universal creamer. Yeah. I mean, I certainly wouldn't be recommending this to breakfast.

It sounds more like a savoury, sweet thing. You know what? Maybe the world would just get on a bit more if we all had vodka butter for breakfast. It sounds more like a savoury, sweet thing. You know what, maybe the world would just get on a bit more if we all had vodka butter for breakfast. Sure. Also,

this is very un-breakfast radio host of you to not want to have a drink in the morning. I know, it's such a proof. We come from a long line of New Zealand broadcasters who weren't afraid

to have a red wine in a coffee cup. I know, I feel like I've utterly entered this industry at the wrong time. You guys are all sobered up and boring as hell.

There was some research conducted that used old research to make new research. Now that's just being smart. That's reduce, reuse, recycle. That's recycling your research. That's like putting Kit Kat seconds

into the next lot of Kit Kats. That's exactly it. That's what they do, isn't it? We don't want to waste all this time. seconds into the next lot of KitKats. That's exactly it. That's what they do, isn't it? We don't want to waste all this time. Yeah, the bits inside the KitKats are nearly up. Yeah, they mullied up the KitKat and make it into next KitKats, which is what they've done here with the research. It's mind-blowing. Exactly, I know. So these researchers had

looked at a lot of previously conducted studies about relationships and found that many of those studies focused on deal makers, what people are looking for in a relationship as opposed to what they didn't want. So then what they wanted to do was identify red flags in relationships, the things that people are trying to avoid. So they gathered all of the studies that had referenced deal breakers

and then they took a new group of people and presented them with the top 49 deal breakers from previous studies and then they made these new researchers rank them for like what is their deal breakers. And they came up with the six most

common worst ranked deal breakers. Like worst ranked deal breakers. Like best ranked deal breakers, I guess you'd say. And they didn't go one to six or anything like that. It's just six because they fluctuate between if you're in a relationship or not, if you're female or male or if you're dating or serious or committed or whatever. Six keywords. The first one is gross.

Gross? Gross, addicted, clingy, promiscuous, apathetic, and unmotivated. Oh, wow. Those are the six things that are like the biggest turn-offs to people when they're looking at a partner. People in short-term relationships were the ones that ranked gross as the worst. Yeah.

So you're talking, well, we mentioned before that men aren't brushing their bloody teeth every day. Yeah, well, 54% of Gen Z and millennial men only... Brush them every second day or something. Every second day or something. Yeah, that's nasty. Yeah, really gross. Then after gross for them,

clingy was the next one. So these are people that want to be like moving around, having hot little things. Yeah. Can you, can you, can everybody just think of their partner?

You know, I want everybody to think of their partner or Fletch, you can think of any one of your multitude of partners if you like. Yeah, just like whoever was there last week. Yeah. The most recent conker, if you will. This is unbelievable. Just think of that person.

It's very slanderous. Hayley, tell me those six words again and when one relates to your partner you put one point and then at the end of this, what is it? If it's three or more,

then it's time to have a chat. Time to get out. Is Hayley counting the gross when she does the booger and then flips it in the car? No, it's not about me. Aaron's definitely playing at home. I need to think about Aaron.

Aaron's definitely playing at home. Okay, ready? Okay, all right. Gross. I need to think about this though. Okay. Second word. Addicted.

Clingy. Promiscuous. Apathetic. Unmotivated. Excuse me. Now I only got one. What one did you get? Well, just sometimes in general, boys are a bit gross. And Aaron's like renovating at the moment. Now I only got one What one did you get? Well some

Just sometimes in general Our boys are a bit gross And Aaron's like Renovating at the moment So somebody who's a Hard working man He gets a mistake But that's hot gross

That's hot gross He's working hard He's gross Because of the hard work He's putting in To build you a beautiful home Absolutely And then I jump in the shower

And I will clean that man You will wash that man I will wash that man down That's not bad Like he's Jesus himself Actually in fact I've got none How many did you get?

I got none. Fletch? None. Really? That person? All right. But I was kind of keeping a tally on what Sade would think of me, and I think I had about three.

So I've got some work to do. I've got some work to do. Well, it's the original New Zealand beloved comedy panel show. Seven days. It makes its return on television tonight. After what were you saying, 10 months? Yeah, they've been off here for a really long time. Did a live tour and whatnot, but they've had a bit of a break. And luckily people have come back still funny.

And I can confirm that. As I was on the show last night, we recorded it, and Josh Thompson was on my team. Oh, were you on the show? Yeah, I was the team captain. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

So across from you was Rhys Mathewson and then it was me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a lot of talking. I introduced you. Yeah, you sure did. Yeah, that's right. We chatted the whole show, Tom. Yeah, they do edit it quite a bit.

So that'll be interesting to see. Right, right. Quite a lot of work for them to. But anyway, good to see you again. Yeah. Literally just, we've been chatting all morning and all evening. You're doing great. Do you know once, Josh Thompson, and here's a story for the nation.

I was going about my day, an innocent woman. Yeah. And I get a video phone call and i'm like what the hell it's tomo and i i answered it like and suddenly it's tomo shirtless in bed and i was like this man's got kids in a wine and i was like tomo why are you calling me nude from the bed? And he was like, what? What? What?

Okay. Hayley. Okay, I'll give you that good impression. I'll give you that. Thank you. But what actually happened was I'm lying in bed enjoying myself. I don't need to know what you're talking about. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Family show.

Family show, Tomo. Family show. I'm relaxing. I'm relaxing. In a normal time of the day, like a normal time to be like, anyway, I'm in bed. It's doing normal. Oh, my God.

I'm in bed. Yeah, wow. Scrambling. My phone starts ringing. It's a messenger phone call. And I pick it up from Hayley and I think it's a strange time maybe to call someone. I'm in bed, but she's obviously in a bit of trouble or something.

So I answer it and Hayley goes, oh, okay. And I go, what? And she goes, all right. And I go, what? You called me. She went, no, you called me. And I went, no, sir, you called me. Hayley called me.

I did not. You called me. We went back through the logs. No. We got Vodafone involved. You tried to hit on me and it didn't work, Tomo. We're on. I thought, I thought, because I didn't know you that well at the time.

And I thought, well, you know, she might need something. You never know. Yeah. I was being a good friend. You are a good friend. We are both on team one on seven days tonight. You are, I'd say, the third part of the team. I'm the team captain and Rhys Mathewson is in the middle of us.

That's right. Already a great team. Across from us, who have we got? Good question. Laura Daniel. Yes. Bang. The other one.

Other Mathewson. Eli Mathewson. Eli Mathewson. And Brinley Stent. And Brinley Stent, hosted by Jeremy Corbett. He was there too. Special guests, the 10 tenors.

Oh, my goodness. There's 10 of them. They were truly incredible. I mean, it's always good. This is what's good about having Tom Owen. Details. Details. He's a details man.

He's a detail. There's three tenors, but there's 10. So it's 70% better. Yeah. And they were. That's not the maths on that either. That is definitely not the maths on that. That's statistics, my friend.

It is. And they were all wearing suits. They cut a delightful figure in the studio. Bit loud with their singing, but, you know. This is where the three tenors beat them. They had the perfect sort of like volume ratio. It's a small studio, wasn't it? But they, I mean, they did Nessun Dorma,

a classic little Pavarotti banger. They tweaked it. They're so good. They're so good. Noisy, but you're good. They're so good. And we have this incredible guest. We play Guest Who,

where the guest has a bag over their head like they're a hostage at war. Yeah. And we ask questions to try to figure out who it is. And we can't say anything, obviously, because you have to watch tonight, 7.30 on 3. But – Great guest. Such a good guest.

And I don't want to – we can't say anything about it, but you may see somebody's detective mind at work, and that person might be me. It might be. And so it was – if you've ever – I mean, I know a lot of people out there think, he's smart, but tonight you'll be like, wow, he's more than smart. Yeah. He's smarter.

70% smarter. Well, 30. But you did make, yesterday, regardless, you did make a bit of a dumb move. Now, we went home and we both lived out west. We didn't go home together, like Josh has tried this. Who called me? But we were both heading out west and didn didn't go home together. Like Josh has tried this. Who called me? But we were both heading out west

and didn't realise that the motorway had closed. It took me two hours to get from the studio to my house. It usually takes 22 minutes. Tomo was behind me in the car and sort of following me home almost. Well, we live in the same direction. You called me. Sort of following me. You moved into the same we live in the same direction. You called me. Sort of following me.

You moved into the same suburb. But you made a dumb, dumb move. No. Yes. Well, I mean, it's hard to explain. We're all heading west, right? Yeah. I get into a traffic jam.

Might have been behind Hayley, a few cars or not, whatever. Yeah. So you knew where my car was. Yeah, I knew. Look how you're having a fun time in there. I was. I was rocking out. Yeah.

I was heading west. There's a place called Rose. Look how you're having a fun time in there. I was. I was rocking out. Yeah. I was heading west. There's a place called Rosebank Road where you're meant to turn off the motorway and then finally you're free after being stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. You're free after Rosebank Road. You drive through the suburbs. Annoying, but at least you're off the motorway and it's all cloggy up in this. I go off the motorway. But then I see that you can still get back on.

And I thought, look, I'll get some stuff from the night and day because I'm hungry. I've got a little lasagna topper. Oh, yum. And I've got a little packet of vodka butter in my car. Oh, he's been tuning in this morning. Just a little sort of hip butter conditioner in there for long times, drives like this.

So there I am covered in lasagna topper. And so I get back in the car and I thought, well, maybe I can drive around the clog up on the motorway. So I get back on the motorway. Everyone's coming off. I'm the only person who gets back on. I didn't realise that that on-ramp takes you back into the city. Oh, my God.

I drove back east and then had to turn around and join the back of the queue again to sit through the same traffic jam I'd just been through. Oh, my God, Tomo. Yeah, it was a poor decision. It was a really... And how was that lasagna topper? Well, the car stank.

I had to enjoy it. And it wasn't just coming out of the topper either. It was coming out of the bottom of it as well. So, like, it was... There was a lot going on. Wow, your poor car. Well, if you want to have more fun stories From Josh Thompson You can check us out on 7 Days Return

The first episode of their 15th season Tonight Or my comedy festival show called Horrible Man That's coming out in May, what? Oh, you've got a comedy show Tell us, tell us Oh yeah, I've got a comedy festival show It's my first ever comedy festival show

I've never done one before And so I'm being a big brave boy And It's my first ever comedy festival show. I've never done one before. And so I'm being a big brave boy and I'm going to do an hour of talking funny jokes, hopefully. And yeah, that's called Horrible Man. Is it sort of like an autobiographical? Are you the horrible man in this situation? Why would you immediately assume I'm the man? No, no, no, I was just asking

because I've got like five stories off the top of my head that I reckon you could... Oh, your porn's got content. Your porn's got content. Porn's got content. What do you mean? She called me. But then how do you explain the situation with the sleeping naked in the janitor's cupboard

at a Tauranga hotel, Tomo? Okay, well, some doors in hotels have locks on them. In fact, most of them. So if you're going to go through them at one in the morning, you should have clothes on. But I didn't because I forgot. And I think I may have thought it was the loo, but it wasn't. So there I sort of like become quite aware that I'm in a public corridor

with no clothes on because it's quite bright out there. And so then I panicked. It was a hotel that had no reception desk until like seven in the morning. So I walked up and down the corridor. Oh, for God's sake, Josh. But then I found a broom closet and I lay down in there like a little mouse.

And I found, if you take the ends of the swifters off, those little sort of swifty things, you can make a little mouse. And I found if you take the ends of the swifters off, those little sort of swifty things, you can make a little pillow. And also a ramshackle codpiece that I sort of covered myself with. For God's sake. But I had just got an Apple Watch. I was very, very lucky.

And so I used my smartwatch to call the reception desk in the morning and said, hi, good morning. Good morning, how are you? I've locked myself out of the room uh which room room 327 um uh he said where are you so don't worry you'll see me and so he unlocked the door and i sort of just sort of swept past went thank you um but i was only wearing a swifter mop here. Sort of held on. And yeah, I didn't, when I checked out,

I didn't look at him in the eyes. No, and you should never return to that hotel again. If you want tickets, comedyfestival.co.nz. And if you want to see us tonight, it's 7.30 on three, seven days. Tomo, thank you so much

for coming on. You're most welcome. Now something's happening here in New Zealand that's just like that 1969 classic song. Do you know the song? The Summer of 69? What? No, from BJ Thomas. Lampoos keep falling

on my head. Oh no, it's raindrops. Oh, I thought it was lamp posts I thought it was a very dangerous But you're like Nichely specific thing To have fall on your head You had to Google that song From when it was released, right?

Yeah, right Oh, I had to Google I had to confirm What year it was released You've just got one word wrong Just one word Just the one Yeah

Wellington This is Wellington. This is my hometown. Yes, it is. What is happening? Tell me why. I've seen a couple of photos of these new Wellington Street lampposts. They were LEDs, so like cost less to run.

You know, initial installation, expensive, but once they're in, power right down. And you don't need to replace the bulbs and everything nearly as much. They run on less power. It's the future, baby. It's LED. Welcome to 2023. However, there is a problem.

The 17,000 street lamps that Wellington City Council have installed, prone to snapping. And I don't know if you guys have been to Wellington. She blows. She blows. There have been a couple that have snapped off, right, and fallen onto the ground. And people are like, well, that shouldn't be happening.

Oh, my God. I just had a look at them. They are heavy metal devices. Yeah. You'd conk out. If that hit you on the head. Oh, you'd die. You'd be in a lot of trouble, at least.

So it's something to do with the adapters used. We're prone to snapping and with Wellington's harsh climate, harsh weather conditions. Very harsh. 17 of them have fallen over in the last four years and they've begun replacing the adapters.

Do you mean adapter as in to put the light onto the pole? I think so. From what I can read, it's the adapters that are faulty. There's 17,000 of them, but don't worry. So far, they've fixed 600. Oh, my Lord. Wow.

And just heading into the windy winter season. Wellington Prime's winter. They're going to prioritize the heavier ones to fix first, which is also good because, you know, they're heavier and they'll do more damage when they hit the ground. Or hit your head. So is the council advising to wear a helmet to work if you're walking or cycling?

Yeah. Safety first. Safety first, hard hats. Yeah, not walking underneath the street lamps. Yeah. Which isn't a good thing if you're walking at night where street lamps provide essential light for safety and, you know, to make everybody feel a little bit better.

So walk in the dark at night. Don't walk at night or walk at night, but do it in the dark. Because that's the other thing. If the person following you can't see you because you're in the dark, makes it a little bit easier for you to stealth away as well. Maybe they can't attack you, yeah. Imagine being hit in the head with something like this. Do you remember that time I nearly got hit by a terracotta pot

falling from an apartment? Like it literally was 20 centimetres in front of my head, and I was just looking into it. It had fallen off someone's ledge or window. Yeah, this is when you were in that 1960s cartoon and you were an animated rabbit, right? You were always eating a carrot, and you're like, yeah, what's up, Jack?

And then they threw that anvil at me on the head. And you had to pick it up. They went, ooh. But, like, that was insane. That would have, like like taken me out. Yeah. Because it was like, I don't know how many stories it had fallen, but it like shattered into a million pieces.

Jesus. I was like, whoa. I don't think I've ever been hit hard in the head with anything. Once a boy called David threw a basketball directly at my face at youth group because I was being a bit of a lippy gal. Right. But no, nothing's ever sort of donked me on the head well uh coconuts are the big one right death by coconut how many no it isn't i

should love it but i thought remember death by chocolate that's what made me laugh i thought death by chocolate which is a far better sounding pudding than death by coconut which is actually a death problem because i remember someone saying that if you ever rent a car, if you're in the islands or somewhere with coconut trees, you never park. You're always saying, oh, I've got to get the shade. No. You never park under a coconut tree because it'll smash your windscreen

when they fall out. Yeah. We parked a scooter underneath a coconut tree and it knocked it over. A coconut fell on it and knocked the scooter over. Like, they're not to be messed around with. 150 people died in 2002 from fallen coconuts. I'm just trying to look how many. They kill 150 people worldwide each year. That's on coconutinformation.com.

That's just what I said. You're just behind me on this information. I miss you saying that. Oh, sorry, I wasn't listening. Here's some other fallen coconut facts. Wait, are you on coconutinformation.com too? I'm on Death by Coconut, the Wikipedia page. Oh, wow.

There's actually a Wikipedia page called Death by Coconut. Okay. A fallen coconut could strike a person on the ground with a force of almost 2,000 pounds or 9 kilonewtons. Is that because of how far it drops? And how hard they are and how... Because remember that the rumor... And aerodynamic, they get up to speed.

Remember the rumor that if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building, it could kill you if it hit you on the head? It would go straight through you. Straight through the concrete. Straight through your skull. Did you say this one? Oh, no, this is on Snopes.

Do coconuts kill more people than sharks each year? I think the answer would be yes, right? Yeah. Yeah, they do. Shark deaths are like hardly any. Yeah, no, not me. Your statistics, you're far more likely to be killed by a coconut or a pig than eaten by a shark.

70 shark deaths. 57 shark deaths a year. Oh, no. Nine. Incidents. Shark incidents, 70. God, people surviving these things? Nine shark related deaths in the last few years. Wow, okay.

And now I'm reading about death by coconut, like officially recorded cases of death by coconut. There was a man who sought in the Philippines in 2001 when there was an earthquake. He sought refuge under a coconut tree and four coconuts fell on him and killed him. Four? I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing.

No, you're crying. You're sobbing. I'm sobbing. That's terrible. Oh, my God. Well, with these Wellington streetlights like falling off willy-nilly. And then these coconuts come in willy and nilly. Have you got time for one more coconut death?

Yes, please. Okay, go. A man was trying to cut down a coconut tree with a chainsaw and the coconut tree he was trying to cut down dropped a coconut on his head and killed him. Well, that's just karma. Trying to kill the tree and the tree killed him. So I'm wondering, is there anybody listening that's ever been donked on the head

by anything? Like you've been walking along and something's just fallen on you. What fell on you? For a silly Thursday morning phone, what fell on you? Is this almost an impossible phone-in topic? Oh, maybe. Oh, no. Things fall on people all the time.

Yeah, not what did you fall off or when did you fall, but what fell on you. What about who fell on you? And it was your poor excuse for when you got caught cheating on your partner. He fell on me. They just fell on me. We're talking about the falling Wellington street lamps. They're having to change all of the holders or the adapters or something.

Look out for those. They're dropping like flies. Well, they're dropping like very heavy bits of metal that'll kill you if you walk under them. And now we've opened up the phone lines for just what fell on you. Maybe something donked you on the head. Jason, you saw this happen to somebody? Yeah, I was doing some music for a wedding and they were just playing music as they were walking out of the church. And the bell was ringing in the, like a little old church, and the bell was ringing.

And then, what do you call it, the donger inside the bell rolled down the roof and landed in front of the bride and groom. Wow! Yeah, like millimetres in front of it. Oh, they nearly got hit by the donger. The clapper.

It's called the clapper, is it? I just looked it up. Right, okay. Oh my god, like how big are we talking? How big was this donger? I like donger better the clapper. Is it? Yeah. I just looked it up. Right, okay. Oh, my God. Like, how big are we talking? How big was this donger? I like donger better than clapper. Oh, I don't know. Well, it's about the size, I guess,

the round part as big as a big grapefruit. So it was a big donger. A big donger. It was a big donger, yeah donger A big donger, yeah Well, you'd imagine that would be solid metal as well Yeah, it would Jason, thanks, you're cool Maddie, you saw a friend get hit by something?

Yeah, so it was at school And she was, we were getting ready for Oh my God, we've lost her Oh no, Maddie No, just when it was getting Oh, Maddie Maddie, Maddie, Maddie You cut out, Maddie

What are you, what's happening here? Just when it was getting... Oh, Maddie. She's back. Maddie, Maddie. You cut out Maddie. What's happening here? Maddie's also attempting to climb Everest. Okay, let's pop Maddie on hold. I need to get the end of that story. Same. Text messages in. I had a crossbar on the rugby post come straight down on my head. It fell a bit tingly after that.

It's someone opened them. It fell a bit tingly after that. It's someone not putting them. It felt a bit tingly. Oh my God, those things would be heavy. Jeepers. Text coming in 9696 0800 dials at him as the number. What's fallen on you? Let's see if we can get the rest of Maddie's story.

We're talking about when something's fallen on you. Yeah, because the Wellington streetlights are faulty and dropping like flies. This is a classic media beat up for the purpose of a story and something to talk about on the radio, though, because they're like percentage wise, I think it's like 0.07%. It's still dangerous. It's that dangerous. Don't get me wrong.

The councillor advising everybody in Wellington, everybody walking on a street must wear a helmet from today. A helmet or some sort of cage around the body that you could carry. If you've got to carry a cage at home, wear that on top of your head. Around the head. It's a great idea, actually. Great idea. If you've got a shark cage at home, hop in the shark cage, put your legs out the bottom of the shark cage

and, like, walk to work like that. Or an umbrella. No, it won't take it. Not strong enough. Not in Wellington shark cage, put your legs out the bottom of the shark cage and, like, walk to work like that. Or an umbrella? No, it won't take it. Not strong enough. Not in Wellington. We've also just received word from Chris Hipkins, I think Wellington's going into lockdown because of the streetlights. So if you're in Wellington right now.

Do not even joke about that, Hayley Jane Sproul. No lockdowns, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Jeez, you'll be absolutely thrown out. And, you know, just to follow suit, some national MPs and ACT MPs are actually going to walk only under lights to prove that it's not dangerous at all. It's nothing more than the common light.

Best of luck to them. Maddie, what were you hit by? We've got Maddie back. Hi, Maddie. It was a friend, wasn't it? No. My friend, yeah, we were at school and she got hit by a baton ball, a falling baton ball.

Wait, was she playing baton and not looking? Yeah, so like they were playing. No, we hadn't started playing yet. The person was walking downstairs and I have no idea how, but somehow the baton ball ended up in her face. How was it so high? They were walking down the stairs, so I'm assuming... It like fell out of the carrier or something? No, yeah, the person

was just carrying the ball, so... Oh my god. Are they hollow, but they're heavy metal? Yeah, like very heavy, like a short football kind of like. Wow. What a posh school that they played baton. Yeah, like we just played ball rush. Oh, did you guys not play baton? No. school that they played baton. Yeah, like we just played bull rush.

Oh, did you guys not play baton? No. We didn't play baton. Oh, right. It was one of my favourite summer sports. I imagine you'd play it

in the long jump pit, right? Like make use of that sand pit that's taking up some valuable grass real estate out there on the school. Yeah, probably. So what happened to her, Maddie? She ended up with braces,

like a full mouth of braces for three years. Wait, did her teeth break? Oh, no. Yeah, like she had mouth of braces for three years. Wait, did her teeth break? Oh, no. Yeah, like she had pretty perfect teeth before and then no more. Oh, that's so sad. Wait, did it hit her in the mouth or did it hit her on the head and cause her jaw to shut so violently that it did something to the teeth?

No, I think it hit her in the mouth. Oh, my God. That poor thing. That's ACC though, right? Yeah, that is ACC. I don't think it was fully covered, so I think she's, you know, a poor thing. That's ACC, though, right? Yeah, that's ACC. I don't think it was fully covered, so I think she's, you know, a little bit angry at the person. Imagine putting that on your form,

got hit by a batonk ball in the mouth. Yeah, yeah. How do you spell batonk, and which letter's got the thingy on the top? Yeah, I know, I'd just say shot put, probably, just to make it easier. Batonkwe. Batonkwe, thank you, Maddie.

Alana, what have you been hit by? Two unusual things. One is in the 90s when windsurfers were a really big thing. Yeah, shuck a bro. I was swimming along and someone just, yeah, and someone decided to just drop their entire boom of the windsurfer on my head. Oh, don't. Oh, wait, were you like sunbathing or something? No, I was just swimmingfer on my head. Oh, don't. Were you, like, sunbathing or something?

No, I was just swimming along in the water. Oh. Yeah, they weren't. You know, windsurfers were everywhere in those days, so I'm very grateful. It's Barbara Kendall's fault, isn't it? I cannot help but feel this is all Barbara Kendall's fault. It's somewhat Barbara Kendall's fault for kind of promoting that sport.

But also Bruce Kendall's fault. Let's not forget the other Kendall. Obviously, not as famous, but Bruce did well for for himself really got a few young lads out there it's not the windsurfer. Call yourself an ally. And what was the other one? The other one was, again, sort of in the 90s where you had those kickbox kind of cars with no aircon so you had to have your windows down.

And I was driving along Kaui and a bird flew through my window and hit me on the head. Do you have some kind of lifelong concussion? She dribbles when she walks. I don't know who was more shocked, and then came the situation of, like, how do I get this bird out of my car while it's still shocked? But it seemed to find its way out the other window.

Birds are dumb, though, eh? Honestly, it was the seagull. It was the seagull. That was the most rad thing. Wow. Can you just look after yourself out there? Put a hat on, Alana. Yeah, I feel like you should be wearing a hard hat 24-7.

Yeah. Well, yesterday Statistics New Zealand released how much we're all spending on everything Now this is whenever we use our cards whether it's FPOS or credit cards Are they following what we're spending? Yeah they know How did that happen? They just get all of your swipes

But Aaron can't see it eh? Just Aaron can't see it, eh? Just Aaron can't see it. Yeah, I mean, if Aaron worked at Statistics New Zealand, you'd be in a lot more trouble than you are on the daily. Okay. Because it turns out that as a whole, New Zealanders, basically we're shopping less, we're buying less clothes, but we're travelling and we're partying more.

Hell yeah. What is life about? I said this yesterday. My whole goal in life is to party and travel. And I agree. I agree. So the largest increase in retail was seen in groceries and

liquor. And no surprise here with groceries because literally what you paid for groceries even a year ago is a lot less than what we're paying now. Mitch, I'm reading. You've got that completely wrong. That's the thing we spent less on in March. We spent $32 million less in March.

Yeah, but it's still. But how? I know, but then it says the largest increase in retail was groceries and liquor. Oh, yeah, right. So out of everything, it's dropped, but we've spent more was groceries and liquor. So out of everything it's dropped but we've spent more on groceries and liquor. So where we're allocating the money is

changing. Oh right. But it still fell some. Yeah so we are tightening but what we are spending on is not clothes, it's liquor and food. And hospo. So hospo compared with March 22, went up 32%.

So we're, you know, we're going out, we're partying. Yeah. Yeah. What else is there to do in the face of the planet that we've been given? Okay, that is, wow, that was deep. You know, just every now and then when it's all a bit bleak. I had a bad day yesterday. And, no, I was going to say I had a nice drink and it made it better,

but it didn't. It gave me IBS symptoms quite out of control. Yeah, right. Again, a bad day yesterday. I'm trying to think about where my money goes other than the house. Because you're doing renovations. Yeah, probably food, booze. Guys, I still go out for dinner a lot.

That's probably my vice. How good is going out for dinner when you don't have to do dishes, though? This is the thing. And that could be any sort of dinner. That could just be fish and chips. That could be anything. But when you get to just walk away and not have to worry about cleaning up, that's neat.

Yeah. Well, except it's show sponsor, Mononies. Always put your tray in the bin. Oh, yes. What I'm saying is that's absolute minimum compared to having to load the dishwasher, but before loading the dishwasher, you have to unload the dishwasher.

Then you have to reload the dishwasher. And then there's things that don't go in the dishwasher or won't fit in the dishwasher that require a hand wash. Oh, I just can't be bothered. And we've got like a ceramic sink and it's got a small chip in it so we can't have things in there like curries and whatnot because it'll stain until we get it fixed. And so the other day I said I'm really craving a curry

and Aaron's like, well, get takeaway. I was like, we won't be able to do the dishes. So then I wasn't allowed a curry. There's a small chip in the sink. Well, why don't you just put a plaster over it or some duct tape? A plaster? I don't know. I'm just trying to spitball some ideas here.

Does this bode well for the future of this sink? It's a relatively new sink and it's already unable to be used because you don't want to get the chip stained. Do you know what I've discovered upon Googling these sinks? They're quite famous sinks, Shores Ceramic Sinks. Famous for chipping. And apparently they'll absolutely shatter your dishes as well. But God, they look cute.

God, it looks good. Like when someone at a party drops a beer bottle into the toilet and the toilet cracks. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, it's like that. That's always wild. Yeah. So I guess I'm just going to be spending my money in the future

on repairing this freaking sink. We should do a phone-in one day on when did the underdog win. Like the beer bottle's got to be the underdog against the toilet, but it'll win 90% of the time. Yeah. And like you drop your plate into the sink and the sink breaks, plates pulling weight, you know. That's great stuff from the plate.

The plate's holding their own. The plate should not have won that battle. No, no, no, no. It was like when you drop a fork on a tire because some weird, like, hairbrush on a tire and it's just the angle it hits on and it shatters the tire. I remember sitting on the couch once and my phone fell from the couch to the carpeted floor and the phone shattered. I was like, eh?

Eh? And the carpet was like Cav the phone shattered. I was like, eh? Eh? And the carpet was like Cavalier Brimworth, bitch. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. This is great news from the science world, brought to you by trained actress Hayley Sproul. Now, if you're someone like me that takes daily medication, I'm on the pill.

I take a little mood booster so I don't panic all day long. Some people, you know, pills you've got to take all the time. Things like people who are on MS take MS medications or Alzheimer's slowing down medications, prep, things that you have to take every day. There's going to be days where you forget. Even with the pill, they've got names of the days of the week and I don't follow them.

I just like take a random one. And then I'll look at them and be like, I don't remember doing that today. You get those, you know, like parents always have those and grandparents always have those big pill containers. Yeah, I've got them for days of the week. Yeah, then you cannot forget. Then you can't forget.

Well, there is a thing called time-release drugs that uses encapsulation technology. It's not a new concept in the science world. It basically is these little, like, encapsulating the drugs in these little cylinders to make a bit of a slow release of drugs. Wait, so how do they get them in you? This is by injection. Right.

So if they can inject capsules, they can definitely inject the microchips. Huh. Huh. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha, Jacinda. Gotcha.

Gotcha. No. So, yeah, it's basically, so this has been around for a little bit, but they've had problems this whole time, which is that usually when you get the injection day one, you'll get a really high dose of whatever it is, and then it kind of weakens. So they could, what, inject the, for example, the contraceptive pill.

Yeah. You could get one injection. A month, say. And that could last for a month. Yeah. Or even longer. Yeah. Well, this is the way that they were trying to hit

and they were trying to do it for things like vaccines. Yeah. Because that's the same thing, right? We get the jab and then we're all immune for a bit and then it just pisses out. And we've got to get it again. We've got to get it again, got to get it again, got to get it tomorrow.

Yeah. For example, I'm getting my booster tomorrow. There is a company that has been doing a lot of research. It's cost billions of dollars that has made this kind of science better and made it more even. So they, the timeframes that they are able to

control where each day the dose is the same is 10 days up to 5 weeks. So like, imagine if you, like the contraceptive pill for example, only had to do a little jab. Every six weeks.

Every five to six weeks. And then you were like covered that whole time. Would you rather do that or just take the pill? I don't love a jab. And I don't love the admin of having to go get a jab. If I could jab myself. Oh, no, no. Who's jabbing themselves?

No, no, no, no. I used to do those like pin. Diabetics. Yeah, I know they do. Yeah, and like that kind of needle of the diabetic insulin shots. It doesn't hurt that much, does it? Could they do the same thing with like a block of chocolate? Because I can't stop.

My problem is I'll take all the dose on day one as well, but I would like it to just do a slow release Right, so you turn up to White Cross Medical Centre and you're like I'm here for my chocolate chip White Cross charge a fortune I would rather wait until I get a slightly cheaper appointment at my GP

Well I imagine the chemist's warehouse would be able to do this at some stage as well Great, because I went in there last week before I knew I was sick to grab some stuff, you know, for the pending sickness when my daughter was having it and Dan Carter was dressed as an Easter Bunny so I'd like to go back in

and see that again. Yeah, I wonder if he had posed, I did also see that cardboard cutout of Dan Carter and I wonder if they photoshopped those on. I don't think he actually did that photo shoot. I don't reckon he would. I thought he was just standing there and then they put those on him.

Yeah. That's for another debate. That's another day. Do you think that... I mean, producers, please write that down in the diary. To be discussed, does Dan Carter do individual photo shoots for each holiday for Chemist Warehouse or is Chemist Warehouse photoshopping Dan Carter for his age?

We will return with a clear answer tomorrow. I'm pretty sure at Christmas they photoshopped a Santa hat on. I'm just saying. I think it was photoshopped. Could you see a bit of a blur happening? I think it was float photoshopped. Okay. Also, he is doing all the heavy lifting with the silly costumes.

Honor's there as well, but I never see her in a silly costume. No, it's in her contract that she simply won't. She doesn't. But, you know, I can imagine you turning up for your six-week chocolate shot and then what, you just get a boost. And then do you feel it like kick in at, say, 6 o'clock at night after dinner? I assume it's, yeah, I assume it's the same sweet feeling you get from demolishing an entire block of Wodica's Almond after dinner,

except it's that slow-release situation. I wonder if they could do this with alcohol, because my problem is sort of continuously drinking and then maybe taking it too far. Whereas if I knew the right amount to have, you could just have it up front and then slow release through the night. Then you wouldn't need to drink the rest of the night. Now we sound like junkies,

don't we? We're injecting something but we've got to get the right amount rather than taking it too far. Hey, this is science. We're literally describing like nicotine patches, right? That slowly release nicotine into the body. We've literally describing like nicotine patches, right? That slowly release nicotine into the body. We've got some text messages in. People said there's already a jab contraception you get monthly.

Yeah, there is. There is. We already have the Depo injection for contraception and it lasts for ages. Yeah, but you've got to have a stick in your arm. You've got like a stick in your arm. Is that the little microchip one? Oh, no. Is there an injection in the butt?

Is there? What am I doing? Taking pills like a bloody pleb. Give me the jab. I mean, this science that we're talking about isn't just for contraceptives. No, no. It's just an example of like any kind of medication. So you get a jab in the butt, no babies? Wow.

Vaughn. What I'm asking for medical clarification. We've been spoken to about behaving of late. I've got brain fog. I can't be blamed for this. Someone's telling me to get an IUD. No. They sound so painful.

What one's that one? An improvised explosive device. No, you don't want that in your media. Are you trying to take down a military jeep or something? No, intrauterus devil time. Is that the hook one? Yeah, it's the hook. That's my least favourite.

I don't even have this. You have a favourite. Wait, wait, you've tried them all, have you? I've got ranked contraception. Number one, he's going the diaphragm. Big fan of the diaphragm. Huge fan of the diaphragm. Second.

I thought you were number one Catholic pull-out method. Abstinence. No, no, no, no. Abstinence. Yeah, you're right, actually. Pull-out rhythm method we call it. Pull-out is crass. It is a crass word.

You think I'm in trouble for the injection in the butt? No, babies, that's not true. You're in trouble for now. It's called the rhythm method. We've got a really outrageous suggestion. Tomorrow is Friday when we do our final rankings. Tomorrow, join us for final rankings. Contraception.

Female contraceptives. I don't know. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Hi everybody. Today's fact of the day is how much the sea level would go up if every human jumped in. Oh no, Venice won't be happy. If every human jumped into the ocean, how much would the sea level go up? Wait, but would that change the earth?

Would it change the soil? No, but do you remember what was that fact of the day? If everyone was mullied up into a meatball, it wouldn't even be that big. Yeah, yeah. Remember that? And if you piled up every human there is in existence or ever has been in the Grand Canyon, it wouldn't even touch the sides. Yes, it wouldn't do anything.

It would just be, it'd be pathetic in the scheme of things. So I wonder if it would change that much then. No, surely if everyone jumped on the ocean is vast actually. It's vast. It's a vast body of water. We haven't still been able to find that plane, have we?

That's still missing. No, I know. Somewhere in the vast ocean. What percentage of the world is ocean? 70%. Vaughan. I was doing my own research. Oh, I'm sorry.

Let me take it from the expert who told me to save you doing your own research because we've seen famously over the last few years that doesn't work well. Okay, it's 70%. 70%. So it's a majority. Huge amount of water. Huge amount of water. How much is it if we all jumped in?

How much are we now? Six billion or something? If we all – well, eight billion actually. Oh, for God's sake. If we all jumped in – Well, I'm doing my part. So is Fletch. We're not having any more.

Yeah, wouldn't it? Cannon's having ours. Oh, for God's sake, Nick. He's got a problem, eh? So is Fletch. By not having any names. Well, Nick Cannon's having ours. Oh, for God's sake, Nick. He can't even remember. He's got a problem, eh? He can't even remember all their names. He did. Not surprising.

And then did you hear he said that, oh, I'd like my next to be with Taylor Swift. Yes. You can't say that in 2023, can you? No, he's gross. He's gross. What do you mean my next? I'm a serial impregnator.

I'd like my next to be with Taylor Swift. Couldn't she be like, I don't like that. No, yuck, yeah. I want you to stop talking. If everybody jumped in the water, it would go up by less than the width of a hair. What? That is nuts, eh?

Is it because we'd mostly float? No, no, no. This would be to complete, if everybody could somehow be like, and we're going under? No, no, no. This would be to complete, if everybody could somehow be like, and we're going under on three, two, one, and then went under, it would still be, yeah, the width of a human hair.

I feel like, just on that, if there was to be some sort of spokesperson for the world that was taking charge of the situation saying, all right, on three, two, one, I feel like I'd do a good job at that. To command eight billion people. To are you going to speak to the people that don't speak English? I'm very

physical in my movements and I would be able to do it physically as well as vocally. I just imagine some really super confused Chinese people just looking at you and you're like, and we're going to go under. Under.

Under. Under. And three. Shaking their head, they've got no idea. And you're going to need a Chinese speaker or a translator on board because they do account for a large majority of the population. Look, I'm just thinking logistics here. Yeah, there's a lot of logistics to think through actually before we organise this.

So is there any science as to why it's so little, it makes such little impact? It's because the mass of humans compared to mass of the ocean is minimal to nothing. Like we matter, which is weird because mass-wise we are so small, but we've made such a massive impact on the oceans. I know. I just want everybody to just take the time today

to rinse their recycling and pop it in the proper bins. Fletch, don't screw your face up. Every little bit helps. I told you I'm burning mine. I burn mine on the street. Yeah, because it doesn't go into the ocean. Yeah, it doesn't go into the ocean. Yeah, riddle me that.

Hello? Climate warrior Vaughan. Yeah, I just think we need more sieves at the end of our sewer pipes and stuff to catch all the plastic. Sieves is the answer. And then we tie a top on the top of the bag, the sieve, and then we set that on fire, and then obviously it's not going in the ocean either.

We could put helium balloons on it and set it off into space. That, now that is vast. Oh, yeah, what a good idea. We should start sending our trash to, like, Uranus. Like, no one's using it. Do you know what I mean? No one's, like, what a good idea. We should start sending our trash to, like, Uranus. Like, no one's using it. Do you know what I mean? No one's, like, using these planets. We'll send it to Jupiter, heavier gravity,

and it would crush it in the centre. Oh, perfect. Yeah, perfect. Okay, great plan. That would actually work. God, did we just solve a huge international crisis? I know. Why is it taking people so long?

Like, oh, no, the world, the world. We literally just sorted it. It's 8.30 in the morning. We can take the rest of the day off beautiful do it and then get a whole lot of trees to take in a whole lot of carbon dioxide and then we send the trees up there as well and then you've taken care of the co2 problem a bit silly now today we were trying to be serious and you've gone silly today's take to the day as if every human jumped in the water and went underwater,

the ocean level would only rise by about the width of a human hair. Fact 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, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do? What biscuits have we got? We've got a bottle of wine in here, Patsy. What are we doing? What are we playing with here? I want to know what I'm in for. But that's sort of the expectation, you know, that that's sort of your payment for the rest of life

is that your kid's always going to do that. But you might not expect a grown-up millionaire rock star to do it. And apparently Harry Styles' mum, whose name is Anne Twist. Anne Twist. Harry Styles' mum is called Anne Twist. Styles or first name, Twist, second name. Yeah. Mrs. Twist.

Mrs. Twist. Okay. Yeah. Perhaps she married Oliver once he came out of the orphanage. But is Styles not his real name? Is that a stage name? I don't know There might have been some divorce in the family

Let me have a Google I tell you who knows Carwin knows Carwin knows Oh okay Carwin Stage name Carwin

Hello Hello Not stage name I'm pretty sure his parents are just divorced Oh Okay Some trauma there. Relatable. Probably some trauma there. Yeah,

hashtag relatable. I don't know why I said hashtag relatable. I'm not sure if my parents married. His parents divorced when he was seven and his mother later married her business partner. I mean, there might have been some crossover there by the sounds of things. Sounds like a bit of crossover to me. And then they divorced years later.

And then she was married to Robin Twist, who died of cancer in 2017. Jeez, she's a woman. There's a lot of trauma for everyone here. A lot of trauma, a lot of therapy. There's enough for everybody. And his father's name is Dez. Dez. Yeah.

Okay, all right. Well, she was doing an interview and asking questions, trying to get a little bit sort of behind the scenes. And she said that just like any other son, the first thing he does when he gets home is raid the fridge, goes in and eats all of mum's food, despite the fact that he literally could bring a private chef with him. Yeah, yes.

To cook for his mother. She said there's just something really nice about it, though, that he's never lost that kind of you know childlike yeah behaviour but do you think he's doing that thing like you know when you're flatting

and you need like you know the big bags of toilet paper and bulk buys or when you actually shop at mum and dad's and you actually just load the car up

before you leave with stuff I used to love doing that be like I need to go shopping take some pasta that oh you're not gonna eat that meat

take that oh your cheese was the one I'd always go for. They'd have a half block of cheese and I'd be like, yoink. Any bottles of booze. Just load the car up and then say, thanks, Mom and Dad, bye. Yeah. Aaron's parents always have endless Baileys at their house. And we never buy Baileys.

We'll always be gifted Baileys. As you know, Vaughn, I love a Baileys. Yuck. And any time we're at his parents' house, we'll always jump into the Bailey's cupboard and be like, we might as well grab a bottle. A bottle for the road. Oh, they'll have like one a week. Well, Harry Styles does it, just like the rest of us.

Yeah. And this is what we wanted to ask this morning. We want to take your calls, 0800-DARLS-AT-M, 9696. As an adult, what perks are you still getting from your parents? Maybe like, Hayley, just only six months ago, you were still on the insurance. Yeah, they were paying my insurance. Having your phone paid.

Yep, yep. What else did they pay? Car insurance? My mum paid for my gym membership for ages. Yeah. Wow. And then I think she was like, you're clearly not using it.

Yeah, I know. No, no, she didn't say that at all. But I've got a few. Yeah, I had quite a... I cashed in. You were leeching for a while. I was leeching for a real hot minute. They used my Netflix, though.

That evens out? I'm pretty sure that's the same cost as health insurance every month. What perks do you still get from your parents? Well, Harry Styles' mum has said in an interview that he will still come home and raid the fridge. Yeah. Like the rest of us do. She also said in the same interview, no, I love my son and my daughter, an absolute nobody, equally.

She said that she's very proud of them. They're both very hardworking. But I mean, come on, mum. Come on, mum. Get off the fence, Mum. We know who the favourite is there. But we want to know from you this morning, are you leeching? What are you still leeching? Yeah, are you getting any perks from your parents still?

Because if Harry Styles is doing it, then surely that's a... We all are as grown adults. We can all do this. I mean, maybe not you getting free health insurance up until the age of 31. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So message is in. free health insurance up until the age of 31. Yeah, yeah. So message is in. I'm 29.

I still live at home to the point where my dad built me my own little cottage. Oh, for God's sake. I want a little cottage. I want a little cottage my dad built me. I feel like you would do that for your daughter's born. Yeah. 100%. One's just having Cocoa Pops for breakfast. If I build a little cottage, will you stay here forever?

Yeah. Yes, that's a guarantee. Yay. Cute. Somebody asked, and this is me, this is what I still do. In fact, I got some home kill waiting at my parents' place. Home kill. They get a beast done and they say,

we've got some meat for you, and they turn up with months worth of meat. Wait, do you have to pay for that? You should be paying for that, though. They paid for that. We split the fee, the butcher. But they've got the animal, but they won't be able to eat it all. Oh, your father and I won't be able to eat it all?

So you get free meat. Yeah. You can just buy meat. You're doing all right. Give them some money. Yeah, but then I can put that money towards other crucial life costs. Like Jamesons and alcohol. Like your cool $10 game you've absolutely been loving.

Keep your texts coming in. What perks do you still get from mum and dad, the parents? What are you leeching? I love the 44-year-old that texts in saying, my mum still pays for my wheelie bin. We want to know the perks that you still get from your parents, what you're leeching. Yeah, Harry Styles raiding the parents' fridge.

I mean, he should be bringing just groceries with him, right? Nice groceries. Exactly. You'd think. Some calls. Ellen, what are you still getting from the parents? Every year my dad will text me when my car insurance is up for renewal and then I just ignore his text until the date is over.

And then I get another year of car insurance off him. Wait, so he texts you saying it's time for you to pay, but you ignore him and so he pays anyway? Yeah, because then he panics at the dates coming up, and then I just act like I haven't seen it, and then, yeah. Yeah, that's weaponising incompetence. Yeah, I've done a bit of that in the past. Yeah.

For sure. Yeah, he is going strong. Yeah, he doesn't want his girl getting into an accident and having to pay. No, no. Yeah, he's doing himself a favour, really. Right. How much do you reckon you're saving there, like $1,000 a year or something? I don't even know what car insurance costs.

Yeah, it's around $1,000 to... What kind of car have you got? Oh, an Audi. Oh! Oh, my God! And how old are you? I'm 27. Oh, I can tell.

I'm getting a picture. A 25-foot might have gone down a little bit. Let me just know, while I've got you on the phone, are you happy with your insurer? Let me run you through a quote with our company. No, no. Wow, Ellen, what kind of... Multi-discount.

What kind of Audi are you? What kind of Audi are you rocking? Oh, I'm just an A1, like a little tiny cute thing. Those are cute. Those are cute. I'm in the ESQ too, but it's really, yeah, it's really fun.

Ellen, thanks for your call. Annabelle, what are you still leeching off your parents? Oh, it's your husband. Oh, hi. Yeah, it's not actually me.

It's my husband and he's almost 30 and they pay him about $50 a month just as allowance. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. $50 a month, just as allowance. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. $50 a month? Yeah.

For what? Like just like spending money? Lollies? The dairy? I think it's more of in case he needs it for petrol or groceries, then they can be like, oh, well, we've always given you money. Wait, wait, does he need this money from them? Probably not, no.

Are they well off? Like, are they struggling? Yeah, no, they're both doctors. Oh, okay. To me, $50 isn't enough to cover, like, rent or, like, even half a tank of gas or, like, an eighth of a trip to the supermarket. It's a weird amount. It is literally lolly money per month now.

Yeah, it's like buying yourself a little bag of lollies. Well, we live in Ekelehona, so nothing's too expensive down here. Oh, wow. Do you think it's because this was what he got when he was like 18 and they just haven't changed the payment amount? It's maybe.

It's still going through. So does he save it or does it just kind of go into your weekly spending budget? I actually don't know. I don't think I ever see it. Oh, it's a little like personal money.

How long have you guys been together? Because, I mean, you're totally entitled to half of that. Oh, I'll tell them that. We actually met off Tinder,

so. Oh, great. We've been together for about six years and we've got two kids. Babe, that's your money. That's your money. That's your money.

That's your money. You get all five bucks. Annabelle, thanks for your call. A couple of texts to finish up. I live 12,000 miles away from my family, but going back to visit in a few weeks' time, and I've had a call of how many of my favourite sausages do I want upon arrival? Oh, that's pretty cute.

Oh, my God. That's from Sheila. Have a great trip, Sheila. And be careful out there. It's a wild world. I'm 32, still have my family fuel card. Oh, how good was a fuel card? What? It's nice. You are not going to know yourself when that fuel card

stops existing. And you're like, how much is it going to cost me for fuel? I think that's what we'll all be saying too when the government get rid of this tax they've been subsidising until the election. I'm technically, they say in quotation marks, working for my parents. I get a car and a

fuel card that covers personal use. I get my phone bill paid and obviously they pay a salary. That's where it's at. So is that technically, are they actually working for them or do you think technically was like technically? It sounds like technically for tax purposes. Yeah. It does sound like technically.

Wild. Hey, remember how you just gave that Uber driver five stars because you wanted five stars back? Yes. Let's do that with this podcast. Oh, yeah. Review it five stars, tell your friends, and we'll do the same for you if you ever need a review for anything.

But where are you giving me my five stars? Well, I don't know. Do you own a restaurant or something? Yes. If you give us five stars on this podcast, tell us where you would like your review and we'll review. We won't even go. We'll just review your thing. I don't want people to know where my restaurant is. I'm doing one of those secret restaurants.

Oh, I was going to say, that's exactly the opposite of how restaurants work. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
