Good morning.
Brins.
Radio Refugee.
No my.
From the Wartorn Media Works.
Hi to my.
Hi to my, welcome.
We have a care package for you. Yeah, we do.
And we have assigned you someone in your neighbourhood
to show you around. Yeah, Hayley's family
will take you under her wing. Yes.
Yeah.
Fantastic. You are safe here.
You know, like, bring a plate doesn't mean actually
bring a plate. No, don't bring the
plate. Quite often that can happen.
I'll have your guts for
garters. That needed explaining to a kid at our school that came from overseas.
I'll have your guts for garters.
That's a rough saying.
Rugger up in 90s rural New Zealand.
That's a rough saying.
Keep that up, boy.
I'll have your guts for garters.
Meaning I will wear your intestines as socks.
Yeah.
So that needed explaining.
Yeah, rough.
It's quite threatening to come from a war-torn country to be told that. Yeah. So that needs explaining. It's quite threatening.
Come from a war-torn country to be told that.
Yeah.
Coming up on the show, the top six.
It's announced that there'll be a Monopoly theme park in Melbourne.
Yeah.
Is this full-time?
Is this temporary?
It's like $20 million they've put into it.
It's full-time, baby. I think I'd go to that.
That sounds fun.
That would be fun, right?
Same. Do you think there'd be an old man That sounds fun. That would be fun, right? Same.
Do you think there'd be an old man walking around in a top hat with a moustache?
There'd be multiple old men walking around with top hats and moustaches.
And like dogs and irons and cars.
The original Monopoly theme park is in Hong Kong.
There is one already.
Yeah.
So you can go to two areas at that one.
Monopoly City, Monopoly Mansion.
Right.
There's all sorts of things.
Will it be out at St. Kilda or something?
We'll research this.
Yeah, I can't see a location mentioned in this brief story.
Okay.
Well, the top six will be dealing with this Monopoly theme park.
Melbourne Central.
What?
In the mall?
Or in...
The indoor theme park is opening in Melbourne Central on September 1st, 2023.
So not even that far away.
Indoor.
So it won't be like big roller coasters.
It'll be more like your...
Yeah, when you said $20 million, I was like, that's not going to be enough to get a big
land and develop it and everything.
This is a man that's played Roller Coaster Tycoon.
I know.
He knows how much roller coasters cost.
I know.
When does it open?
I'm being realistic.
September.
September 1st this year.
All right, let's go.
That sounds like fun.
God, it better not be an escape room.
Makes me want to escape my life.
I don't know why you guys don't like escape rooms.
Escape rooms are fun.
Because you keep wanting to go.
Because they're fun.
They're boring.
And we're solving puzzles.
We invite you to so many fun things and you say no.
Yeah.
If I have to escape to get to them.
We go to your escape room and there's not even an Aperol Spritz in there. There's no BWO Aperol Spr no and we're not coming. If I have to escape to get to them. We go to your escape room
and there's not even
an Aperol Spritz in there.
There's no BWO Aperol Spritz.
I'm not going.
I'm out.
I'm not going.
You can't go to the toilet
halfway through
and go,
just before you go in
and then you've got an hour
No, I need a toilet
near me at all times.
Top six is coming up.
Silly little pole
is well on the way soon.
Is it okay to ask
for the cash equivalent
for a birthday gift?
This is so funny.
This happened.
Yeah. A mum did it for like a kid which This is so funny. This happened.
Yeah.
A mum did it for like a kid,
which makes me really laugh.
Yeah.
A pile of results and expert next on the show.
We're going to talk about boyfriend air.
It's everywhere on TikTok.
It's got a name and I'm like,
oh, I remember this.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
So everyone's talking about boyfriend air, as in A-I-R.
Do you say ear?
Air.
Air.
Breathing in sweet, fresh air.
Yeah, go outside for some fresh air.
I'm listening with my ear.
It's the same, isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like when we break it down, we all say,
no, I say breathe in some fresh air.
Air.
No, you don't say that.
If you just roll into it, you say air.
Air.
Air.
Well, boyfriend-ear is something that's going on.
Air to the throne.
Air on your head.
No, that's hair to the throne.
No, that's hair.
Throne.
You miss the age.
Yeah, you get your hair done and you're hair to the throne.
No, you're definitely not hair to the throne.
Before you become the hair to the throne, get your hair done.
Right.
Yeah.
And then have a delicious roasted hair.
You made that wrong.
You have said that wrong.
You have said that in error.
No.
I think you're in error.
I am error.
Drink it, error.
I'm going to err on the side of caution here.
Anyway, boyfriend error, A-I-R,
is the theory that when you're around your boyfriend, you start to look terrible.
Even if it's for like a short amount of time.
So there's this smaller version of it, which is like you get all dolled up to go to your boyfriend's house.
And then like as soon as you arrive within like an hour, you kind of look like crap.
Your hair's a bit greasy and your makeup's not sitting right anymore.
Yeah, but you've stolen his hoodie and his trackies. I know, and you hair's a bit greasy and your makeup's not sitting right anymore. Yeah, but you've stolen
his hoodie
and his trackies.
I know,
and you've had a bit
of sexual activity.
Yeah, and nothing
in that house
has been washed properly
for years.
Exactly.
Well, then the more
major version
of boyfriend air
is like when you
spend too long
at your boyfriend's house
and then you start
to get like greasy hair
and skin breakouts
from being in
their mank environment.
And their sheets haven't been washed for six months.
Gross sheets and stuff.
That pillowcase has Garfield on it.
It's probably seen some things and never been washed.
I know.
Nobody has a Garfield pillowcase.
That's what I'm saying.
That's how old it is.
What I did there, listener, was I picked something that was old,
but probably still on the verge of familiarity with
the younger end
of our listening spectrum. You've definitely said familiarity, right?
Yeah, I'm now that.
And so I said it to indicate that
this is a very old pillowcase.
I believe I've shared this story before
on this radio station, ZDM Laugh Out
Loud with Fletch, Fawn and Hayley,
that I once slept with a
fella, and he had a mink Superman blanket on his bed.
That's good stuff.
I bet he didn't know what was going on when you saw that
and didn't immediately leave.
Those mink picture, oh, gosh.
Would you have left if it was like a Ford or a Holden mink blanket?
I mean, is Superman better? It sounded like she was in, regardless. Yeah, it sounded Would you have left if it was like a Ford or a Holden mink blanket? I mean, is Superman better?
It sounded like she was in.
Yeah, it sounded like you were there.
You'd gone all that way.
I was there.
I'd gone and travelled so far.
Yeah.
Anyway, boyfriend hair, look out for it because it's making us ugly.
And people are sharing on TikTok like, hey, me on my way to my boyfriend's
and then being like, I just arrived.
Why do I look like this?
And their hair's like stringy and they don't look great
they've blown
yeah
well I guess
it's staying at your place then
stay at my place
god that was funny
but then you can't say
all the time
because then the flight mates
get annoyed
they're always there
he's gotta pay rent
yeah he's gotta pay a fee
expenses
gotta chip in for power

ZM's

and Hayley.
A woman has gone viral for her Maccas hack.
Her name's Tabby.
Oh, Tabby.
No, that's not her name.
Tabitha.
Oh, Tabitha.
Tabby Louise.
Oh, Tabby Louise.
Tabby Louise.
It doesn't say anywhere, and I can't find out if she's Australian,
because this kind of hack appeared on The Sun, the British tabloid website.
So she could be British.
God, their website is trash.
Very trash.
But Tabby has gone viral
for her hack for Maccas
where she will get takeaway.
It doesn't say if she drives through,
but she's definitely taking away.
She will get serviettes
when she gets her takeaway fries
and she scrunches them up and stuffs them in
the end of the fries container
so that when she gets home
they're still
nice and hot. So she created a little bit of
a hot box situation. Yeah, she has.
Right. What sort of
insulation quality does
a napkin have? Well, like
that's quite thick. Yeah.
I'm just showing you a photo there, a screenshot.
She's kind of really tucked it in and made a seal.
I mean, as tight as you could probably go with a napkin.
And it looks like it's a couple of layers of napkins.
Well, wouldn't it steam your crunchy chips?
See, I like a...
I'd rather have steamed...
Hot chips.
Soggy.
I like more of a chip on the soggy side.
Oh, no.
It's getting a bit softer, but it's still nice and hot.
Right.
You can't beat them fresh out of the fryer, though.
You know when you order something really simple and they're like,
can you just pull into the park?
And you're like, it's fresh fries.
Yeah, it's good.
It's fresh fries.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's fresh fries.
They're busy.
They're busy.
It's going to be fresh fries.
Or they're steaming your bun for your filet-o-fish.
This might be controversial, but I never take away because of this.
I want like the hottest chips.
I want the hottest burger.
I don't want to, even though, you know, you might live a couple of minutes away, just
you want to eat it straight away.
Yeah.
It's controversial.
If I take away, I'm eating them in the car.
Yeah.
You're not waiting.
No one's waiting until they get home, right?
No.
No. No. If you could take away anything, you're not waiting. No one's waiting until they get home, right? No. No.
No.
If you get takeaway anything, you're not waiting.
Yeah, no, straight away.
Takeaway curry, straight in the car.
Pizza, you have a slice on the way home.
Well, that's driver's tax.
That's allowed.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
You're doing pickup.
You're going to have a few chippies in the lot.
Oh, my God, this is so good.
I just went on a women's health mag.
Yeah.
I don't know, it was the first link.
There's like all these websites on the keto orders at Non-Ods.
Oh, because you've just started officially today.
Yeah, well, yesterday we had a lot of potatoes.
And then I started in the afternoon.
Right, okay.
But I'm not giving up on my Non-Ods, my weekly Non-Ods.
How was your first gym session?
It was mild. I went mild. Because I'm not giving up on my nonos, my weekly nonos. How was your first gym session? It was mild.
I went mild because I usually go too hard.
Is that just where you turn up, sit on your phone and then leave?
Yeah, like 20 minutes sort of on level two on the bike.
Did you get in the cross trainer?
I don't F with the cross trainer.
Why not?
Because it's silly.
No, I know it's silly, but it's the warm-up one.
It's when you start back at the gym and you're like,
well, I can't do the treadmill and the stair machine exclusively.
I've got to get a little bit of this going on.
Nah.
I went on the bike and then there were three bikes
and I got flanked by two women and I was like,
oh, we're too close.
So we left.
Were they like real hard out?
Yeah, they were going ham.
One of them was doing like interval training
and I was like, I'm here for a gentle pedal.
Yeah.
Play it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Is it okay to ask for the cash equivalent of a birthday gift?
Because I think a mother said
Rather than everybody buying double ups
And just buying my kid pointless shit
Why don't you just give them the money
And then we'll just buy one big thing
Or mum and dad can just spend it on booze
I hope that wasn't
the reason.
Oh yeah,
a little date night.
But that kind of makes some,
sometimes that makes sense
because yeah,
if you're like,
oh,
don't spend much on them
because they're a kid
and then someone spends $20
and it's junk
and then,
or there's five of them
and I don't know.
I mean,
I was,
but you can't ask
for the cash a couple.
No,
I was initially against this
but with my birthday
just weeks away,
imminent. It is imminent. 10 days away from my birthday. No, I was initially against this, but with my birthday just weeks away, imminent.
It is imminent.
I mean, what, 10 days away from my birthday?
Yeah, I know, but we've all spent so much money to be coming down to New Plymouth.
Does that mean it's Niamh's birthday today?
Niamh?
Oh, yeah.
Just in Dream Clarks?
Oh, yeah.
Wasn't she 10 days before you?
And when's your daughter's birthday?
Two days from now.
Yeah, because she bloody stole my thunder, didn't she?
She rocked in and stole your thunder.
What's her last name?
Smith. Niamh? Yeah, because she bloody stole my thunder, didn't she? She rocked in and stole your thunder. What's her last name? Smith.
Niamh.
Yeah, she says Smith too.
There's something I've got to tell you.
No, Vaughan's daughter.
Would she be Gayford?
Gayford Ardern.
Yeah, or Ardern Gayford, one of them.
Birthday, hang on.
Wait, so I'm not getting a cash equivalent.
I'm not getting anything.
Is that what you're saying?
No, you're not getting anything.
This is very rude.
I have paid to go to New Plymouth.
That is your gift.
And my punishment.
We're going for Hayley.
Yeah, I know.
And that's four birthdays in her book as well.
Okay, right.
Her birthday is my dad's birthday.
What?
The 24th.
Of?
June.
Oh, day after.
So she's after.
Day after you.
Good.
Get the nation's attention.
We can't be too hung over that on my dad's birthday.
I forget when we're in New Plymouth.
By the way.
He's in Ireland, Jude.
Your dad's in Italy.
Oh, I've got an extra day.
So you've got an extra 12 hours.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Just to shake it.
But then do you celebrate, do you, when a friend is on their railway or living in Europe
or the Northern Hemisphere, do you wish them birthday on their actual birthday in New Zealand?
Yeah.
When I get up. New Zealand birthday, I'm the first by miles.
And you're like, happy birthday for tomorrow, but it's not their birthday.
Happy birthday.
Well, it is here.
Yeah, but they're not here.
I'm the centre of my own universe.
Me too. It's all about me.
So it's their birthday.
It's their damn birthday.
Well, how did the nation vote?
Should you give a cash equivalent for a birthday gift?
65% said no way.
What?
35% said yeah, why not?
That is a lot of people saying yes.
Monet.
Yeah, Monet, Monet.
Erica said the only person you can ask that to is your parents, no one else.
If your parents are like, what do you want for your birthday, you can just say just the cash, I guess.
Yeah.
Cash with a plan, yeah, like X dollars going towards something you're saving for
if it's a big ticket item, says Aaron.
You're not getting married.
Yeah.
You're not just like contributing to your...
Maybe I should have registered for my birthday this year.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
It's Smith and Coie.
Yeah, because you're not married and presumably won't be getting married.
Yeah, and I need a toaster.
And you won't be having a baby, there's you won't need a baby shower register
you could just start
a birthday register
every year.
That would be so nice.
Do we have to get you
baby shower items?
No.
I just want like
appliances like
we're guessing the gender
the weight and the date
of birth as well.
Are we measuring you
and guessing
how healthy you are?
I'm guessing yeah.
Male
82 kgs and June 23rd.
Thank you.
Okay.
I guess I get the prize.
Yeah.
Owen says you get what you're given.
Yeah, fair.
Lisa, no.
Lisa always comes in hot on these little shows.
Lisa comes in hot.
We'll read out Lisa's feedback a little bit because Lisa comes in hot.
She doesn't hold back.
No.
So you're expecting a gift then?
What happens when I can't afford to get you a gift
and now you're asking for cash instead?
Nah, that's rude.
Yeah.
I agree with Lisa.
I agree with Lisa.
She's coming hot, but I'm with her this time.
And I know you can afford a gift, so don't.
You need to come up with a better excuse.
No, not Lisa, you.
I can't.
We're in a cost of living crisis.
Oh, my God. Buy the shoes. I got mints in the excuse. No, not Lisa, you. I can't. We're in a cost of living crisis. Oh my God.
Buy the shoes.
I'll get a mince in the fridge.
Yeah, buy the boots.
Buy the boots.
Buy the boots.
We all know you can afford the boots.
No, we're just being boring
and he won't spend money on boots
that he has to have.
We're slowly shawshanking him
on buying some nice boots.
Hannah, that is so cringy
and also I can find amazing specials
which saves in the pocket
but they still get an amazing gift.
Yeah, good call.
Hannah rates herself as a little bit of a gift giver.
Yeah.
Samara says, only with your parents, not a friend.
Just be grateful and re-gift if needed.
Re-gift.
I'm doing this for my 30th, says Anna.
But I'm treating it as a stuck for a gift idea.
Well, I want some jewelry for my birthday,
and you're welcome to put in for it.
I thought about it for ages, and it felt so cheeky.
And then I thought, ah, F it.
I'm paying for the event.
See, it's an event.
Oh, yeah, okay.
And people can do it for an engagement or wedding.
Why not?
Oh, give it a try.
Yeah.
I mean, your friends are all going to be talking behind your back saying things like,
who does this bitch think she is?
Who?
Asking for cash.
Her bank account details.
Who are we dealing with here?
I thought we knew this woman for 30 years.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top seven.
ZM. How is it happening here top seven. How is it happening here?
Hello.
How is it going on?
Today's top seven.
No, I've just got a list
and I was encroaching on your segment.
Oh, that's all right.
This must be the tension
that people talk about between us.
It's palpable.
Sexual.
Yeah, when we mention the tension,
it's honestly between the three of us.
There's a list that has been released
of the top 10 tallest countries ever.
So with the tallest men.
Men, okay, right.
The big boys.
Are we on the list? Now looking at
this list, no.
Looking at this list, I'm not
impressed. Really?
For reference, my fiancé
is two metres tall. This is the average
height, right? Not like the
tallest person. No,
no, no. The world's tallest person
was 8 foot 11. That was in
1940. Wadlam? Wadlam? Wadlow. Wadlow, yeah. The world's tallest person was 8'11". That was in 1940.
Wadlam?
Wadlam?
Wadlow.
Wadlow, yeah. Robert Wadlow.
That's right.
Didn't they have a cardboard cutout of him?
Somewhere.
There were some TV documentaries about him, like massive man.
Yeah, lived a horrible life.
Oh, did you go to the Ripley's Blavinox Museum on the Gold Coast?
Yes.
Maybe.
They definitely had a thing of him there.
Definitely did.
Yeah, he was 272 centimetres tall.
The world's shortest man is still alive today.
He's 65 centimetres.
Two foot two.
That's like two rollers.
How long my children's new luggage is.
Yeah.
Keep you able to stand upright in the luggage.
You could pop them in the bag.
Okay, the tallest countries in general.
Why isn't they not tall at all?
Well, they must be.
They've done the research.
Well, they must be.
They've done the research, yeah.
No, they're not.
Okay, seven.
Yeah.
In seventh, Croatia.
Yeah, Croatians are tall.
180.78 centimetres.
So they've always got a good basketball team.
They're taller than that.
180.
Yeah.
I'm 179.
This is the average person, though.
Just above them is Bosnia. In sixth, 180. Yeah. I'm 179. This is the average. This is the average person, though. Just above them is Bosnia in sixth, 180.87.
What about Herzegovina?
I don't like to mention one without the other.
Denmark in fifth, 181.39 centimetres.
Latvia in fourth, 181.42.
These are not total.
All of these countries are within Cui of...
Chernobyl of Chernobyl
They're all in the southerly
down draft. The top three, Estonia
in third, 181.59
Very close, yeah
Number two, Belgium
181.7
I'm 179cm
These people are petite
This is the average of the population
Number one I was going to say Neanderthals, Netherlands I'm 179 centimetres. These people are petite. Yeah, but you've got to think this is the average of the population.
Number one, I was going to say Neanderthals, Netherlands.
Yeah, the Dutch are very tall.
Netherlands, 102.
Why?
Because they're very poor nutrition.
Oh, yeah. And then once they got their nutrition in order,
they grew into tall straight boys.
This is what they said that can help this.
Sharing the result, Our World, who did this, said,
poor nutrition and illness in childhood limit human growth.
Average height of a population is strongly correlated with living standards.
High living standards.
So there you go.
I mean, this feels short.
But where did you think the tallest people were?
At the other end of the scale, East Timor, home to the smallest men.
On average, five foot two.
Oh, okay.
And does it have us anywhere?
No, we don't count.
We don't count.
They probably didn't even include us.
The average in the middle there somewhere.
Were you asked?
You told.
No, were you asked?
Oh, was I asked? No, nobody's You told. No, were you asked? Oh, was I asked?
No, nobody's measured me.
No.
But in the census, do you have to put out to all you are?
No.
No.
They should do that.
But then everyone would be like, I don't know how.
Six foot.
Everyone would have to go to that chemist and pay $2 to get on that machine.
Oh my God, yeah.
That would measure your weight, your height, and then do a scan to see how fat you were or something.
Yeah, yeah.
That was a load of bullshit, right?
I mean, there's no way a $2 machine just plopped outside a pharmacy in a mall.
I don't think so.
How tall are New Zealand men on average?
I wonder if this has ever been done.
I'm going to guess.
175.
No, this was done in 2023.
Here you go.
We are 37th in the world of tallness, 178 centimetres.
Well, that's pretty good.
That's about me.
Should we go average wo-men?
Wo-man on average.
Men below?
Five foot five.
Really?
Yeah, there's some shoulders.
I'm a giant.
You're a big old.
I'm a big old...
Big old girl.
Play.
ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the Top Six.
Hi.
I told you I was going to find out where it is, and I have.
Oh, good boy.
Today's Top Six deals with the Monopoly theme park
that's popping up in Australia in September.
It is going to be the lower floor of Melbourne Central,
a large shopping centre located at the corner of Latrobe
and Swanston Streets, Melbourne, Victoria.
It's sprawling, that mall.
Sprawling.
So I would say it's more of a mall instalment than a theme park.
Yeah, theme parks. Lame. It sounds like a, yeah, theme parks,
it sounds like a pop-up.
I wanted a Rainbow's End slash Dreamworld
kind of sitch here. Same.
Narbo. I just spent thousands on flights.
I booked them for us all.
I
fear. Yep.
That was my cynical mind. I fear
that it may be one of those
Overblown things
That looks cool
On paper
On paper
And the odd photo
And then you go
And you get through it
In 20 minutes
And you're like
Oh
Oh
Is that all
Okay
Yeah
That's what I fear
Okay
From what I've seen
Well for the purposes
Of this radio segment Let's just press ahead.
Oh, boy, this looks great.
Top six things that will happen in the Monopoly theme park in Melbourne.
I've called it a theme park.
Yeah.
Number six on the list, you're allowed to take your dog,
but only if it's a little Scottish Terrier.
That's the only dog you're allowed to take.
And they have to dip them in metal before it goes in.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, like Game of Thrones.
Yeah. Season one. Yeah.
The gold on the head.
Sorry. But if you want to take your little dog,
he's got to be dipped in metal. Do you choose
the dog? Where do you go?
Where do we go? Oh my god, should we do
Friday rankings? Monopoly pieces.
Yes.
The horse is always too high.
It would tip over too easy
The man rode the horse
I like the top hat
Because it was just like a game piece
I do the top hat
Because I'm a fashion quaint
I like the car
Okay
You would
I don't do the iron
Because I'm a feminist
Yeah
I don't know what it's doing there
Although when they're divvying up pieces
You always slide that towards mum
Yeah
Because she loves ironing
She gets the creases
Does she love it?
Mum has all the creases out.
Does she?
That one.
Does she?
Number five on the list
of the top six things
that will happen
at the Monopoly theme park
in Melbourne.
Somehow your kid's
going to end up
with all your money
at the end.
Yeah.
Probably just luck.
Stealing from the bank.
Just random.
Yeah,
a couple of...
That's one of the things
you can do at this.
Really?
At this Monopoly thing.
You steal from the bank thing you can try to steal
from the bank
fun
number four
on the list
of the top six things
that will happen
at the Monopoly
theme park in Melbourne

a train station now
great
yeah
god you would own
central Melbourne station
what's that
Flinders
yeah you could own
Flinders
yeah
beautiful venue
yeah
number three
on the list
of the top six things that will happen at the Monopoly theme park in Melbourne.
Well, thankfully parking's free.
Yeah.
Is it?
Free parking.
Fantastic.
Always.
Sometimes when you park in the free parking, depending on who you're playing with,
it's definitely not a rule in the book.
You get the money put in the middle from the floor.
Yeah, that's not a rule.
That is a rule.
It's not a rule.
It is a rule.
It's communism.
It's redistribution of wealth, and I won't have it.
Number two on the list of the top six things that will happen
in the Monopoly theme park in Melbourne.
If you randomly step somewhere totally random,
you could end up in prison.
Oh, no.
Not because you've done anything wrong,
just because you stepped in the wrong place.
Yeah, sounds good.
Absolutely randomly.
And number one on the list of the top six things that will happen
in the Monopoly theme park in Melbourne.
At the end, the whole thing just gets flipped upside down.
Shit goes everywhere and you just toss away.
You just storm.
Just storm out of the room.
Get out of here.
That is today's top six.
Clay, Zed-Ems, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
So more bad news with re-climate change.
A recent study from...
Can we get some good climate change news?
I don't know if there is any.
Good luck finding some.
Well, the warmer temperatures.
The warmer, because it's warmer.
The winter's not that cold.
A recent study conducted by the University of Reading
has said that because of the warming climate,
it's going to lead to more turbulence for flying.
I love turbulence.
More rough flights on the...
And so I'm the same.
I'm like...
You know when the plane goes...
Like a dip.
Oh my God, it even goes...
I love it.
Vaughn hates...
No, no, no, I don't hate it.
I don't hate it.
I just don't...
I could go without it.
I don't hate turbulence, but I don't love it.
You don't love it.
It feels like a free ride.
Yeah, it's a free roller coaster, right?
Yeah.
If I'm with my wife and children, though, it spins it because they hate it.
Your wife's not a good flyer, is she?
Oh, when we went to Queenstown, they came in and they just slammed the brakes on.
Oh, yeah, they did, yeah.
She was just like, we're going to go off the end.
I was like, nope, we're going to be okay.
You'd miss your bloody blue canoe booking.
Yeah.
I'd be devastated.
But that's the thing.
And this is what I wanted to ask this morning.
Is there something that you love that people hate?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I love turbulence.
Like, I mean, granted, I haven't been in bad, like, you know,
we're about to die turbulence.
So I might have a different opinion.
I got a flight.
Where have I been?
Where have I been?
I got a flight recently and I was like,
oh, that's probably one of the ones where I was like,
maybe this is bad.
Maybe this is the one, yeah.
Maybe this is not funny anymore.
Yeah.
I'd hate to be on one of those flights
when a flight attendant hits the roof.
Oh, yeah, when it drops so suddenly
that everyone smashes into the ceiling
and trays of food.
I never want to be on a flight where that happens.
I don't want the oxygen dropping down.
I don't want that.
No.
Let's not go that far.
No.
But is there something that, like, most people are like,
oh, that's yuck, or I don't like that.
Like, you know, the smell of jet fuel or petrol.
Yeah, or ripping off your toenails.
What?
What?
Aaron's always like, what are you doing?
I'm like, I'm taking it a bit too far.
Oh, geesh.
What, you don't use clippers?
Yeah, I'll use clippers, but sometimes I'll rip off the corner.
Yeah, I know, it's bad.
Like a hangnail sitch.
Yeah, and I'm like...
Oh, I hate that when you've got a little nail coming up underneath the fingernail
and you try to chew out the one underneath.
Oh, my God, the under fingernail.
Oh, it's devilish stuff.
Wait, you love that.
Yeah, it hurts so good.
I quite like cramp.
No, no.
If I get cramp, I'll kind of ride it.
No, I hate it.
If I get that toe cramp, I keep trying to trigger it off and you're just like.
Same.
Okay, that's sadist.
That's really, that's not good.
Because I can give my calves cramp on demand.
Can you?
Yeah.
Like right now?
Yeah.
Go.
Far.
That doesn't seem like a good one.
Oh, sorry.
How do you do that?
I just flex them.
And go real.
You might need some magnesium horn.
I've always been able to do it.
And I'm the same.
I used to lie in bed and be like.
Foot cramp.
I used to get the foot cramp.
I hate it.
Like sometimes.
Ride the wave of a bit of foot cramp.
If I wake up with cramp. Oh, the worst thing in the world. Hate cramp. I hate it. Ride the wave of a bit of foot cramp. If I wake up with cramp, worst thing in the world.
Hate it.
But you love it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's that feeling of like, how far can I take it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's so weird.
That was my toenail.
So this is what I want to ask this morning.
0800 dials at M.
Give us a call.
Text in 9696.
Is there something that you love that most people find a bit unusual or hate?
Yeah.
Like loving turbulence or...
The smell of nail polish remover.
Oh, God, I think we're going to get some goodies here.
Oh, let's say when my kids are in the car when we go to the petrol station,
they wind their window down and hang their heads up.
A little bit young to be doing that.
Get in, get in, wind the window up. It's heads up. A little bit young to be doing that. Get in, get in, wind the window up.
It's not a good look for the parent to be like that.
Dad, can we have a half?
Love that smell.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Scientists are saying expect more turbulence, more rough flights because of climate change.
And you're the same, Hayley.
You like a bit of turbulence.
Love it when it rumbles around.
I love it when it gets really big.
And this is a question we want to know this morning,
is what do you love that most people hate?
Yeah.
And wow.
Okay, wow.
Yeah.
Other people loving ripping off their toenails.
Shout out to the rural kids that like the smell of silage.
Me too.
Love the smell of silage.
What is the city folk?
That's the poo pit, eh?
No, no, no.
Silage is where...
Awful.
No, no, no.
It's the grass.
You cut the grass and while it's still wet,
you wrap it or put it under like hot black plastic
and in the summer it like ferments and rots.
Oh, so it's like grass kombucha.
It's grass kombucha and the cows go crazy for it.
Our bin smells like that.
Our green bin.
Yeah.
When I open it, I'm always like,
fuck out.
Rotting grass.
I love it. Abby, what. Yeah. When I open it, I'm always like, fuck it out. Rotting grass. I love it.
Abby, what do you love that most people hate?
Dry needling.
Is that like acupuncture?
Yeah.
So what they do is the physio puts the little needles into your back or your shoulders or
whatever and moves it around so your muscles twitch.
Oh, okay.
I actually love that.
I do like that. I've had that done. And at first I was like, because I hate injections so your muscles twitch. Oh, okay. I actually do like that.
I've had that done.
And at first I was like, because I hate injections.
I hate needles.
Yeah.
But acupuncture is so good.
And then, yeah, when they move them around.
You should have gone to Dr. Wynn, Abby,
who used to give me the acupuncture, right?
And then he'd pull out all the needles and put them into a cluster
and then go, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, and stay.
Like a sewing machine. Yeah, he'd get a cluster of cluster and then go, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, and stay. Like a sewing machine.
Yeah, you'd get a cluster of them and then be like,
right where it hurt, and then put a cup on it.
It would suck out all my blood.
I loved it so much.
Yeah, no, I think I might pass on that one.
No!
I've upset Abby.
It's a gateway.
Dry needling's a gateway.
Abby, thanks for your call.
Christy, what did you love that most people hated?
So during the lockdowns, I absolutely loved it,
being an essential worker as a truck driver.
It was two different jobs.
One in roadworks as a traffic controller
and one as a driver for a skiffing company.
Yeah, because there'd be no one on the roads.
Exactly.
It was absolute bliss. Oh, I bet.
Yeah. You liked lockdowns,
eh? I, on the other hand, was just like,
let's stop this. I liked them.
I was bouncing off the walls. I hated them.
Guys, remember lockdowns?
Oh my God, remember when it'd be like
press conference at 1pm? We'd be like, oh,
here we go.
Christy, thanks for your call. Angelica,
what do you love that most people hate?
I like squeezing blackheads and zips.
Yeah.
Lots of people are loving that these days.
I'm not into it at all.
I had to unfold.
The more goo, the better.
Yeah, we love a bit of pus.
But not an explosion, like, wet.
Or one of those, like, blackheads that just comes out like a spaghetti.
Oh, I like that.
I've never had one like that, though.
Like a little pussy sausage.
Have you never had one?
Have you bought the blackhead tools?
No, I just use my fingernails.
You do, you do.
Angelica, you're so dirty.
I had to unfollow Dr. Pimple Popper yesterday.
Why?
She started getting into other weird stuff.
Cysts and stuff, eh?
Ooh.
No, she was doing,
these people keep getting more fake nails
put on top of their eyes
and their old nails underneath died
and then it was all like removal of nails
and I was just like, yeah, I'm out now, Dr. Pimple Popper.
She's gone too far for you.
She's gone too far.
Sometimes she's eating.
Sometimes she eats when she's watching the videos and I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. Angel's gone too far For you She's gone too far Sometimes she's eating Sometimes she eats
When she's watching the videos
And I'm like
Now's not the time for eating
And Talika
Thank you
Some messages in
I love all-nighters
Sometimes the usual
Waking hours of the day
Just aren't enough
So an occasional
Semi-regular all-nighter
Is beneficial
For catching up on work
And getting back into
The usual routine
The next day
I've still got enough energy
And actually feel better
Sometimes if I deprive myself
Of sleep Night Oh no I feel sick Yeah better sometimes if I deprive myself of sleep. No. Oh no, I feel
sick. Yeah, I need sleep.
I love the smell of stock trucks. Reminds me
of my childhood on the farm. Ew, no.
I love missing out on events
and parties. Nothing makes me happier than being a
nana at home and seeing everybody else out and about
and having a good time on their stories and I'm just happy
not to be there.
Did you text in?
That's your number I recognise. It is. Just want to be heard on Oh, okay. Did you text in? Is that from you? Oh, that's your number.
I recognise that. It is.
It is.
I just want to be heard
on the show, you know?
Yeah.
I love praying mantises.
They're so cute.
Oh, I hate them.
Praying mantises
will do you no harm.
No, I know.
Do you know,
speaking of insects,
I was moving a wood pile
the other day
and I found four
massive tree wetters.
Huge.
I took a photo of me
holding one of them
and then I put them all...
You held...
They bite you. No, I had gloves on. They're amazing. You had gloves on. Cute. What took a photo of me holding one of them and then I put them all... You held... They bite you.
No, I had gloves on.
They're amazing.
You had gloves on.
Cute.
What kind of gloves do you have?
Little work gloves.
Are they pink?
No, they're red and black
but it was to stop my hands
getting hurt
picking up wooden splinters
and stuff.
You can have pink gloves
if you want.
I don't have pink gloves.
I would have pink gloves.
They're red.
Here he is.
Here's one of them.
He's got his back leg up.
Tell him he'd watch out. Yuck. They're red. Here's one of them. He's got his back leg up. Tell him he'd watch out.
Yuck!
All four of them, I put them on the tree
and I don't know if it was because it was daytime or what.
They weren't moving enough. And then I looked again
and they were all, like, they'd moved and they were
all facing into the middle like they were about
to have a royal rumble.
Or do the Gay Gordon. Yeah.
Might have been a big wet or
orgy. Could have just been a meeting,
like how did we end up in this tree?
Yeah.
Now, we were in wood, all agreed.
I, and then they were missing one
because one got squashed.
Oh.
When I moved the bit of wood.
It was squashed.
Okay.
Oh my God, they're...
They're amazing.
Yeah.
I like making my legs fall asleep
and then going around kicking things
to see if I can feel it yet.
And then I love the pins and needles afterwards
when the feeling's slowly coming back.
Oh, what?
I hate pins and needles.
I love drinking pickle juice.
Yeah.
That's just like vinegar, right?
That's a really, yeah.
I like making a pickle martini.
It's a dirty, is that, what is the dirty one?
No, dirty's olive.
That was like olive juice, right.
Pickle martini, got a little extra tang tang.
I love that someone said, I love doing the sniff test.
You know, when you like touch something on your body that smells, you go, poo, poo.
Oh, poo.
Poo.
Oh my gosh.
Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee.
Play ZM.
We were just discussing the girth of Fletch's Kiwi fruit.
So you were out of the office.
You just went to the bathroom,
and I used your little tape measure you've got in your key ring.
And we mentioned this on the show briefly last week.
I don't know why, but the Kiwi fruit industry are letting us,
the supermarkets are just flooded with girthy.
Big boys.
Big yellow Kiwi fruits.
Because a lot of the export markets have tiny mouths.
Germans have tiny mouths.
Tiny. The Dutch, they're tall. It's because the German language is so sharp. export markets have tiny mouths. Germans have tiny mouths. Tiny?
The Dutch, they're tall.
It's because the German language is so sharp.
They don't need to open their mouth. So I think that
they're leaving the big girthy ones here.
So I said to producer Jared how many
centimetres around? He said eight. You said
fourteen. Look, it's twenty.
Yeah, girth's quite massive,
isn't it? Well, girth is
girthy. Girth is girthy. What's the word where you't it? Well, girth is... Girthy.
Girth is girthy.
What's the word where you think it's going to be one thing?
Deceptive.
Girth is deceptive.
Yes, like that word was deceptive for you.
No, it was elusive.
Deceptive was elusive to me.
But girth is deceptive because it's, what is it?
Pi equals radius squared.
Pi times radius squared equals circumference.
Lots of little bites and a spoon to get through.
Anyway.
Girth.
God, they just got me thinking about the Decepticons.
The band or the evil robots?
The band.
Okay, because I was thinking about the evil robots.
Oh, yeah, there are evil robots.
They were named after the evil robots.
New dating app.
It's called Hula.
H-U-L-A-H.
I just searched the app store because sometimes these are only in Britain or the US.
But it's available here to download.
Where does it get its name from?
Because Hula Hoops are H-U-L-A.
The dance also named after...
This is H-U-L-A-H.
As an acronym.
Hula.
Unsure.
I don't know why it's called Hula.
What makes this dating app special from every other?
So all single women can go on the app.
Okay.
So you sign up as a woman.
No questions asked.
All the single ladies?
All the single ladies.
All the single ladies?
All the single ladies.
Put your hands up.
What are you doing?
Don't know.
What are you doing?
We were just confirming that all the single ladies.
All the single ladies.
Why did you put out a shout like that?
All the single ladies.
Yeah, why did you start saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?
I don't know.
Bizarre.
God, bizarre.
Yeah.
A bizarre reaction from him.
Might be having an aneurysm or something.
Maybe.
So you go on, you're a chick, and you can go on.
A chick?
You're a chicky babe.
So you're a chicky and you can go on. A chick? You're a chicky babe. So you're a chicky babe.
A chicky babe.
If you're a chicky babe, you go on,
and you do your profile like you normally would,
hot photos, da-da-da-da.
If you are a male, the only way you're allowed on is if a female hula user endorses you
by becoming a ringleader.
Oh, okay.
So it's basically you can only go on this app
if another woman endorses you.
So this will keep
the douchebags off.
It'll minimise douchebags.
What if I,
let's just say
I'm a female for a moment
and
What's your name?
Tracy.
Carter.
Why are you rubbing your chest?
I like my boobs.
I'm happy with what I've got. Yeah. Carter. People are confused rubbing your chest? I like my boobs. I'm happy with what I've got.
Yeah.
Carter.
People are confused because they hear the name and then they meet me.
And they're expecting a bloke.
And then they meet me and I'm sexy Carter.
I'm sorry, you're a Tracy.
Excuse me, I am not a Tracy.
No offense to all the Tracys.
You're a big fat Tracy.
Okay, so I'm a big fat Tracy.
And I endorse a guy.
Yeah. And I'm like, he seems like a nice guy,
and then I hear that he's not.
Because I don't know if you know about this,
but sometimes guys lie about who they are.
Why would they do that?
I don't know why they do that.
Well, like you say, it's not going to weed out every douchebag,
but it's going to go...
It's going to thin the douchebag over.
It's going to thin them out.
It says, Hula, date better guys endorsed by other women.
Because if some guy
was like,
hey, endorse me
and you knew
he was a cheating scumbag,
you'd probably go like,
ah, that's not on me.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Because is there anything,
if a guy gets, say,
banned from the app
or reported,
does that come back
on you as a female
if you've endorsed him?
Maybe if there was
a track record
of you endorsing douchebags
and people reporting the douchiness of the bag.
And what stops you from being a guy pretending to be a girl?
Well, you can't.
So here's the way you do it.
You've got to show your...
Right.
To AI your license.
No, no, no.
To AI.
Yeah, when you go on, it scans your naked body.
The confusion, that's just someone called Al. Okay, right. It didn't say AI. It was you you go on, it scans your naked body. No, no, that's the confusion. That's just someone called Al.
Oh, okay, right.
It didn't say AI.
Oh, God, I'm always getting confused if it's AI or Al.
So part of the thing is that you have to have a five-minute video call.
So I guess eventually you would know who was a woman and who was a boy.
Yeah.
So that's another feature of it,
is that when you match with someone,
so the boys get on, the endorsed boys get on,
when you match with someone,
you schedule a five-minute video call.
See, now you've lost everybody with that.
So that you know you're not getting catfished.
Yeah, but do a profile, a picture,
and get it authenticated.
How?
Like AI does it with the other apps.
No, you've got to do a little chatting.
You're going to lose people.
Nobody wants to be video chatting a stranger.
To me, we're jumping through a lot of hoops here to meet the loves of our lives.
Well, it's not easy to meet love.
Mine was.
Aaron walked in and I said, he's massive.
I'll have him.
And you just shot a tranquiliser dart at him.
I hunted him down.
Yeah.
Tagged him, did a tag and release,
and then you tracked him with satellite technology,
and every time he surfaced, you would know where he was.
Wait, is he a lion or a whale?
He's a great white shark.
Okay.
Great white shark.
That's him.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Sometimes Jared shares the stuff that he
does around the midi and I think
boy, one day she'll go.
Whoa.
Boy, boy
oh boy, one day that beautiful woman
she gonna leave you, Jared?
I don't know if she's gonna leave me.
But you
you said something as if it was a good situation that happened to you yesterday.
And the three of us were like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
That's bad.
You're in a trap, mate.
You're in a bear trap.
Well, on Sunday evening, the middy said, hey, while you're at work tomorrow, I'm just going to probably just going to clean like the whole house.
Oh, wow.
And I was like, oh, cool, cool. I'll be at work work but then obviously i'll have to help when i get home yeah and then she said
don't worry about helping um i can do it i don't have anything on tomorrow finished uni about to
start a new job and a little bit of a clean space yeah right yeah and i was like oh okay this is a
trap but let's give it a test.
So when you get home and she's cleaning thoroughly, deep cleaning,
what do you do?
I give her a kiss, say hello.
That's good.
Then I turn on Disney+. No, now I'm angry.
Now I'm angry.
You're watching TV while I'm cleaning.
The new Avatar movie, which is very long, and I watched the whole thing.
Oh, no. So while you're watching
this movie in the flat, she's cleaning
the whole flat. Yeah, I did help her
move little things.
Like a
teacup. Like, can you come and pick up your
shit kind of stuff? Yeah, yeah, okay.
Just realised how bad this sounds.
Yeah.
Jared gets to work and he's like, guys,
I didn't even have to clean
yesterday.
She said I didn't have to do anything
and I just got to watch a movie
while she cleaned the whole house.
You're currently in a trap.
This is a trap.
She's weapon.
Potentially.
She's armed up
and she's getting ready
for something
to use this.
I did just get her
some cool presents
for her birthday recently.
Getting someone something
on their birthday
is not...
You're in a relationship, that's expected.
No.
Something's happening, man.
She's saving up for something.
And so even after you'd finished the movie
and she'd finished cleaning, there was no...
She wasn't like...
No.
It was all good.
How aggressively was she putting the cutlery away?
Not at all,
which is something I would normally keep an ear out for.
Right.
Because you can kind of hear the aggression start.
Oh, you can hear it.
Yeah.
Did she huff?
No.
Is there any huff?
No, huff.
No.
Sighing?
But she is going to drop this later.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, give it a week.
She's going to drop it.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Did she keep saying things to herself?
Like, well, I guess I'll just.
No.
Or she's about to expect something outlandish. Like. Yeah. Does she keep saying things to herself? Like, well, I guess I'll just... No.
Or she's about to expect something outlandish.
Like, oh, and by the way,
the girls and I are going to Hawaii for a week.
I think that's what it is.
I think the girls are going away to Hawaii. The girls might be going to Hawaii for a week.
We can't afford it, but she really wants to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you're going to need a trip in,
but you're not invited.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or do you have joint point system something?
Like she wants to spend all the flybys on something
or the credit card points are going towards this Hawaii trip.
She does get our countdown voucher every time.
She spent the countdown voucher.
Do you not get half of the countdown voucher?
I always get a bottle of Prosecco.
I don't know if this is planned,
but it just always happens to be
we get it when it's her turn for the shopping.
Yeah, right.
There's something.
All I'm saying is stay tuned.
Yeah, because the bomb will drop soon.
Part two, the bomb's going to drop.
Yeah.
And we'll be like, there it is.
She hasn't taken the younger lover.
Sometimes they'll butter you up because they want to take a younger lover.
She's not particularly old. They'll be buttering up because they want to take a younger lover.
They're bettering up
by cleaning the house
and then telling you
she's got a younger lover.
Yeah, well, they want the clean house
for when the younger lover
comes over, you see.
They don't want the younger lover
coming to a hobble.
Not for him.
No, no, no, no,
for the younger lover.
Like, yesterday was cleaning the house
while you were at work.
What's she doing today
while you're at work?
Randy the postman.
Black younger lover.
Randy the 21-year-old postman.
Yeah, great calves because he hasn't taken up one of those electric vehicles.
He's still on the bike.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I was going to say because a lot of posties are losing their good calves because
of those electric.
Yeah.
They're getting flabby on the calf.
Yeah.
I've noticed it too.
Nice calves.
Killer quads.
That was how you identified a postie and a pair of shorts and some walking socks.
And a hell of a tan.
Hell of a tan.
Year round.
Yeah.
Year round. Nice. Year round.
Nice.
Well, stay tuned because, yeah, there's obviously a part two to this story.
Yeah.
We might be making up a new Tinder profile for me soon.
Yeah, or you can go on Hula.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
So this is the travel hack.
If you've got carry-on baggage only.
Okay.
It does require an initial investment.
Now, Vaughn has been doing some research.
Are you on hunting and fishing?
No, I just Googled this item in New Zealand for sale.
Right.
And there is a variation in prices.
If you're willing to roll the dice on a Temu order, T-E-M-U,
which is 2023's AliExpress, basically.
Oh, okay.
About $32 will get you one.
Light in the box.
I don't know what that is. That sounds like another one of these drop shipping situations. About $32 will get you one. Light in the box. I don't know what that is.
That sounds like another one of these drop shipping situations.
About $60 will get you one.
Okay.
If you're looking for a slightly more high quality one that you can go and try on in person before purchasing it, you're up in the hundreds.
Okay, well, the item that we're referring to is a fishing vest.
As in a fly fish's fishing vest.
Now, they stand in the water, right?
So they can't, they've got the waders on and the big gummies.
So they can't have pockets down where you normally have your pockets.
Of course not.
So it's a vest of pockets.
It's a vest of pockets.
Now, a woman has gone viral.
Her name's Julie because she took a Spirit Airlines.
That's in America, very budget, like your Ryanair, your EasyJet in Europe and the UK.
Your Aer Lingus.
Very strict.
Biggie Pony can't say that on the radio.
You cannot say Aer Lingus.
You know these Aer Lingus.
It's Irish.
Is that where you put the tongue in the air instead?
Yeah.
Oh, that would be the Irish way of doing things.
It's Irish.
Aer Lingus.
Okay.
Well, yeah, right.
Are they strict on their... Aer Lingus. Oh, yeah. I've always way of doing things. It's Irish. Ealingus. Okay, well, yeah, right. Are they strict on their...
Ealingus.
Oh, yeah.
I've always thought it was the funniest little airline.
What a funny little name.
Yeah.
Well, so are they strict on the cabin baggage as well?
Very strict.
Right, okay.
Have you flown the Ealingus?
Ealingus.
I have ridden the Ealingus a couple of times.
Okay, okay.
Well, so this woman, Julie, has gone viral
because the fishing vest that the fly fishers wear, full of pockets.
And she detailed how she took a week's holiday, and bear in mind it is like warmer and it's summer, so a lot of, there's no winter jackets in this.
Of course.
A couple of, you know, changes of outfits and, you know, knickers and socks and stuff.
But she put it all in the fishing vest and wore it onto the plane.
Wait, so she wasn't even allowed a backpack.
She didn't.
I think she had maybe a handbag.
And a fishing vest.
So you've got not only your fishing vest.
There's a photo of it.
It's not like it's even bulging.
But it's stuffed with undies and toiletries.
I mean, it looks like a bombing jacket.
It looks like.
I'm surprised you do.
You look like a bomber.
It looks like a suicide vest.
Yeah.
But I mean, it'll go through the scanner.
It'll all be fine.
Any of the toiletries were in just like a plastic bag
that she can take out.
Yes.
And she just wears it onto the plane
and then unzips it, puts it in the overhead locker
and that's it with her handbag.
Would they weigh that?
No, because you're wearing it.
You are it.
You check in without a bag. You probably go straight to the gate. So you just wear it. You are it. You check in without a bag.
You probably go straight to the gate, so you just wear it.
You take it off at the security.
You can't fit much in these little pockets.
So I found one on GrabOne for $35.
Yeah.
And it's got one pocket here, one pocket here,
one bigger pocket, one bigger pocket.
So it's got four pockets.
But then the other ones I'm seeing have also got a flotation element to them.
Oh, my God.
In case you tumble over in the river.
You've already got the life jacket on.
You can probably take those out.
In case you tumble in the river.
But even if you had a bag, a small bag that was under the 7kgs or whatever the limit is,
that's still extra space.
Extra stuff.
Cargo pants.
What about your tech?
Cargo pants are one of these.
You're sorted, baby.
You're sorted.
You're just a big pocket boy.
I thought this was a bit silly,
but if we head over to Chanelette Pyjamas at the social media desk,
she actually knows quite well someone who does this.
Yeah, my boyfriend does this every time he travels.
Where's the fishing vest?
Well, it's not a specific fishing one, but the exact same concept.
So he works on cruise ships, and they will take your bags off you.
You know, you give your bags
and then you go onto the cruise ships
and he needs to prepare for his shows and all that.
Just remind us.
Yeah, he's a magician.
He's a magic man.
So he will...
He's a magician in a fishing vest.
I mean...
I mean, you don't need to worry about him cheating on you, do you?
Yeah, so he has this vest.
It's like purpose-made for this.
You can buy them.
And the laptop fits down the back.
There's like a whole bag.
What?
So your laptop's in your back.
This is brilliant.
He's wearing a laptop.
What the?
He charges in the other pocket.
Then he's got like, he can fit his entire carry on just waltzing on the boat.
Does he wear it in front of you or does he just?
Where does he put his rabbits?
They go in the front pocket so you can sit on them.
No, thank goodness he uses no animals.
I'm not here for that.
Are you aware that all the doves are stuffed?
So you're here for the magic?
Just not for the animals.
It feels a bit weird.
That feels weird.
What's his best trick?
It's interesting where people's weird line is.
Yeah, yeah.
What's your boyfriend's best trick?
He does this one.
So he will get someone from the crowd to, he'll be like,
does anyone have $20?
And someone will be like, yeah.
And he's like, come on up.
He like doesn't touch them.
And he'll get them to write down the
serial number on a big thing and then he grabs it and he makes it disappear ha ha ha and then
at the start of the show he has a bag at the front of the stage and he never touches it and then the
person goes up and inside it there's a crunchy bar and they'll snap the crunchy bar and inside
it's $20 and it's the same. But is it their $20?, and it's the same serial number. How does he do it?
Does he thumb it into the Crunchy Bar when no one's looking?
No, the chocolate's all sealed.
He never touches the bag.
The chocolate is sealed?
It's an audience plant, isn't it?
No, it's not.
I've seen it hundreds of times.
There's a tube.
There's a tube under the stage.
No.
Does he tell you his secrets?
No.
Does he tell you how he's done that?
I've never asked, but after dating him for quite a few years
You know, you kind of
Catch up
I've got to work it out
Pick up on a few things
Do you?
Do you know how he does it?
No, you can't spill his secrets
But you can tell us off air
Yeah, I will
Ha ha, listeners
We get to find out how it works
How does he seal it in the chocolate?
Penn and Teller, baby
You've got to watch some of those shows
Where they pull apart their magic
I don't want to know
Man, that upset a lot of magicians. Yeah, it did.
All my magician mates were magicians.

No.
So she'd be.
Mum might have been nudging.
Mum's going to be 60 this.
Is mum already 60 or is she going to turn 60 at some stage this year?
She turned 60 this year already.
Oh, happy 60th.
How did she take that?

Susie's popped a squat.
They know her drink
by the end of the week.
I mean, popped a squat
isn't like she's gone
into the bar
and popped a squat.
Sometimes when you're
at the beach, though,
you have to.
Well, you waddle out
into the water
and do a wee and the water would come back. Which that's why she's going somewhere the bar and popped a squat and she doesn't have a wee. Sometimes when you're at the beach though you have to. Well you waddle out into the water and do a wee in the water
and come back.
But if the water's too cold
everybody knows.
Which that's why she's going
somewhere tropical
so she can go for a cheeky wee
in the ocean.
Everybody knows
when you're just getting up
off your towel
to go into the ocean
and walk straight back.
Everyone knows what you just did.
I always have to tell my mum
because she'll very rarely
go in the sea
in New Zealand.
It's too cold for her.
Yeah right.
Which is why she's a huge fan
of global warming.
Yeah.
But she'll go in and be like,

But if you were Bronnie, would you name your kid Brittany?

Yeah. And he's like, for example, I could make up this long word.
Pneumonal ultramicroscopic silicovolcano coniosis.
But it effectively is just a whole lot of terms put together.
Yes.
So pneumonia, which means lungs in ancient Greek.
Ultra, meaning beyond in Latin.
Micronscopic from ancient Greek meaning small. Silico is silicon. Volcano, referring beyond in Latin. Micro and scopic from ancient Greek, meaning small.
Silico, a silicon.
Volcano, referring to a volcano.
Kony, which is ancient Greek for dust.
Kony 2012.
Kony 2012.
He was a dusty boy.
And osis from ancient Greek, meaning to indicate it's a medical condition.
So small volcano lungs.
Inhaling silicon.
Right.
Inhaling... You took from it, it was small volcano lungs. Inhaling silicon. Right. Inhaling...
Small...
You took from there
with small volcano lungs.
Small volcano lungs.
Yes, yes.
Small...
You breathe and lava comes out.
Yeah.
You know, you're inhaling
small microscopic particles
of silicon
which come from a volcano
into your lungs
causing a medical condition
which he made up...
Why is silicon coming from the volcano?
It's a volcanic rock.
Why has it got silicon in it?
It's the silicons in the volcanic rock.
I thought silicon was a man-made thing.
No, it's a natural occurring substance.
It's natural, yeah.
And then they turn it into kitty litter.
And boobies.
And bench tops.
And bench tops.
And you shouldn't inhale it because a lot of people that dust.
Is that what this is called?
That's the thing.
So this guy just made it up saying this would be a lung disease
that you get from silicon and inhaling it in the microscopic particles,
blah, blah, blah.
And then like 20 years later, someone was like,
it perfectly describes this new syndrome we've kind of discovered.
So we're going to start using it.
So it was this made up word that this guy made up
and then it officially became a medical term.
It's like classic doctors with all these
big long jargony words.
Just so we feel dumb, eh?
Yeah.
Like just call it
dusty lung or something. The dusty lung.
The old dusty lung. I've got the dusty
lung. Dusty lungs. Specifically
from silicon. Silicon.
Silly dusty lung.
Dusty lungs. In fact, maybe we'll just go back
to that Greek sounding word
and make ourselves sound smarter.
So today's fact of the day
is at 45 letters long.
It is the longest word
in the English dictionary.
Nailed it.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
Gen Zers are going on dates, and on the first date,
80% of them are admitting to cheating.
Now, does that mean...
80% of them...
Who have cheated, admitting to cheaters?
Of the people who have cheated.
Yeah.
80% are admitting.
It's a question on...
Like, you wouldn't...
I wouldn't answer that truthfully.
Would you?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely.
Skip over that question.
Hey, so have you ever cheated on your partner?
God, no.
I think it's abhorrent.
Would you get a full-on question to ask someone on the first date?
It's really weird.
But also good to know.
We've talked about this in the past,
that people, especially Gen Zers, are being way more upfront.
What's it called?
Because.
Honesty?
Well, no,
and because of the lockdown
and all this wasted time,
people just don't have the time
for endless dates.
They just want to cut the BS.
Yeah.
They're just like,
here are the questions
I want answers to.
Here's what I think about money.
Do you cheat on people?
Here's what I think about babies.
Yeah.
Do you cheat on people?
And they'll go, yes.
So they admit to it.
Would you find it refreshing
that someone admits
or would you think that's...
They're being honest
about being a liar
so it's hard.
Like it's quite a conundrum, right?
It's a conundrum.
I don't think you can
hold someone's past against them.
No.
I don't believe in the
once a cheater,
always a cheater rhetoric.
Do you believe in
cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater?
Yes.
You have to eat a pumpkin. I swear by it. Okay. I live by cheater, cheater cheddar pumpkin eater? Yes. You have to eat a pumpkin.
I swear by it.
I live by cheddar cheddar pumpkin eater.
If you ever see someone eating a whole pumpkin, they got caught.
They got caught.
Just like a little chopped up bit of pumpkin in a roast,
that's for everybody.
But if they haven't eaten a whole pumpkin,
your skin and all, that's good to know.
Uncooked.
Do you adhere to liar liar pants on fire? Not always. Uncooked. Do you adhere to liar, liar, pants on fire?
Not always.
No.
Right.
But if someone's pants are on fire, it's pretty hard to overlook it.
Yeah, yeah.
How they got there.
Hell yeah.
Probably a couple of lies.
I just find that stat so insane.
Like, that's 82%.
That's a lot.
82% compared to 77% of baby boomers, which is still a lot.
I know.
I just can't believe that's a question you ask on a first date.
I can't believe it's a question you answer on a first date.
Yeah.
You're trying to sell your best self, not like, oh, once I, you know.
Once I cheated.
Oh, I had cheated.
Yeah.
How does that make you feel?
I don't know.
Gen Z, you're a wild generation.
I'm loving it.
I'm loving it.
Well, if you're thinking of inviting people around to your house,
maybe a dinner party or some casual drinks,
a professor, Robin Dunbar,
now he has written a book, The Social Brain.
So he knows about brains and people.
This is, what book was it that always said
you should never know more than 150 people?
That's our brain's capacity for knowing
and caring about people, 150, all up.
And even within then there's staggered levels
of how much you can care, but never more than 150.
He said we can only keep in mind
five people's mental states at once,
including your own.
So he says four people at a dinner party,
and then multiples of four is ideal.
Because you can group off.
Because then people, and you find that at parties anyway, right?
Like if you're having drinks and there's loads of people,
people just kind of do group off into their own little clusters.
Totally.
Because he says that conversation within a larger group
just becomes a lecture.
And people are just waiting to either get in
or break away anyway when it gets too big.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, there's too many.
There's too many of you.
Yeah, he says so that's the maximum number of people
who can maintain a successful conversation.
Four.
Yeah.
Yeah, four's a good number of people.
And he said it's like often seen in a lot of Shakespeare
plays, the rule of four. Yeah.
Sex in the City film with its four female
best friend character leads. Ninja Turtles.
Ninja Turtles. After Jerry Left.
Yeah. Yeah. The Love
Actually Rom-Com. Four.
Something. The Holiday.
Sure, yeah.
Four. The Beatles. Four.
Rolling Stones. Four? The Beatles? Four. Rolling Stones?
Four.
Do we need to bring in a fourth?
Well, no, the fourth is the listener that's listening now.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That is beautiful, isn't it?
That was beautiful, wasn't it?
You, listener, are so integral.
You're the fourth person.
You're the fourth.
Scarecrow, Tin Man, Dorothy and...
Lion? Another guy, Lion? Lion, yeah.
Other guy, but what about Toto or whatever his name is?
Toto couldn't talk.
When we last had a dinner
party with the chip plates, that whole
debacle, how many people were there?
Six? It's too many.
So there were,
in that situation, we should have had two
more people Another couple
We didn't have enough plates
We didn't have
Well they were chipped
They were chipped
Yeah
You still got the chip plates
Yeah
But just bear that in mind
It's either four people
At your dinner party
Or drinks
Or eight
Or twelve
Or eight
Pull back
16 not 18
Your maths is terrible
16
That's too many
That's way too many.
Or 20.
Four, it's going to be four.
Or 24.
You know at long tables when you go out for dinner,
if you're at either end, you're fine.
But if you're in the middle, you've got to talk like a cross.
It makes it harder.
That's a great episode of Coober Enthusiasm.
Talking across the table.
Oh my God.
You're in the middle.
Who sits in the middle controls the conversation.
Yeah.
You want me to middle?
You want me to middle?
You've got to have a good middle.
Shivers, guys.
10 out of 10 podcast.
That one?
Yeah.
I think two of us were 10 out of 10 and one of us wasn't.
Well, who was that?
Which one?
We'll just leave that.
We'll just leave that there.
