The ZM Podcast Network.
The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Great things are brewing at McCafe.
The perfect start to every day.
Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Hi, I'm Hayley.
It's great to be here with Fletch and Vaughan.
There's a silliness.
Hi.
Which one are you?
Graham.
Graham.
You're tired today, Graham.
Let Graham and Hayley.
You look tired today, Graham.
Graham's a little tired.
What happened, Graham?
Graham just didn't sleep well.
Oh, no.
Graham didn't sleep great.
You might have your body pillow.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Graham's wife, Catherine, stole that in the middle of the night.
Oh, did she?
And then there was a little bit of a, I guess, about a 3 a.m. wrestle for it.
Right.
And then, of course, 3 a.m., the alarm, you shut your eyes for a moment,
and you wake up with the alarms going off.
Why doesn't she just get her own body pillow?
Why doesn't she get her own bedroom?
I think she may.
Time for a sleep divorce, I reckon.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, apparently it's on the rise.
More and more people are doing it.
You've been toying with it.
Oh, I know.
I've been dabbling.
You sleep next to a giant man, though,
so I'm not surprised.
Giant man.
I reckon if I did get a sleep divorce,
I'd just get a king single.
You reckon?
Yep.
King singles rule, man.
I don't think,
I don't need that big a bed
because that's when I sprawl and I get the sore back.
King single, body pillow, me.
Perfect.
Keep you straight.
You could just have two king singles in the same room.
On the opposite sides of the room.
No, but they're snoring and sound.
They're snoring now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I had to roll over a couple of times last night, actually,
now that you mention it.
Yeah, elbow in the side.
Yeah, it's not easy being Graham.
Good to have you here, Graham. Yeah, elbow in the side. But yeah, it's not easy being Graham. Well, good to have you here, Graham.
Yeah, pleasure to be here.
Coming up on the show, the jackpot
is currently at $31,000.
It is going up so fast.
Five on time, your chance to play
and win that cash at 8 o'clock this morning.
Ridiculous.
Silly little poll soon.
Should guests have to pay
or give a little koha for a dinner party?
Little koha?
Yeah.
There was one dinner party where the koha was extreme.
Like $100.
The request for the koha made me go, go, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
No way.
Well, should you have to pay for a dinner, like at a friend's house?
The silly little poll results are coming up, but next on the show.
I'm not paying even when we go out for dinner.
No.
You can pay.
Now, look, I don't want to comment on people's weight and judge it or anything.
You're entitled to lose weight, gain weight as you so please, as you choose. However, people are noticing extreme and, like,
very noticeable weight loss in the celebrity community of Hollywood.
And some of them are loudly, proudly waving the Ozempic flag,
which I do take some umbrage with because it's not the point of Ozempic.
And especially when people in America are struggling with diabetes and need it.
Need it.
Which is what it's for.
Yes.
Because I've listened to quite a few podcasts about a Zen pick because diabetes type 2 can
be linked a lot to PCOS.
It's got very similar.
It can lead to that quite easily.
And yeah, it's like terrible.
And then who, oh, Kelly Osbourne was like, don't be mad at me because I can afford it. And I was like, no, no, it's, like, terrible. And then who, oh, Kelly Osbourne was like,
don't be mad at me because I can afford it.
And I was like, no, no, that's a problem.
That's a problem, hon.
She also is like, I didn't even recognise her.
I know.
I think her head's going to snap off.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got served a suggested post on Facebook,
and it was like, Sharon Osbourne says something.
And there was a video, and I was like, I wonder when Sharon Osbourne
will start speaking. Then I realised
I had been watching Sharon Osbourne
and I
didn't even recognise her.
And I didn't recognise her five years ago
compared to her 12 years ago.
Yeah.
She's like a Pokemon. She's evolving.
Something happens.
It's similar but it's different. Recognisable but yeah, Something happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's similar, but it's different.
Recognisable, but yeah, not quite.
Anyway, so there's a doctor who has looked at the red carpet,
particularly the Oscars, and been like,
these are the people that quite clearly have done it.
Because there's like, they call it ozempic face.
Really?
Because it's so rapid that your face kind of like sinks in a bit.
It's got horrendous side effects as well.
One of the officially recognised side effects now, death.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Death.
Anyway.
You'd be like, by what?
Nope.
Just death.
Wanting to be skinny.
Jesse Plemons.
So actor, Breaking Bad.
Fantastic actor.
Incredible actor.
Yeah, really good.
Kirsten Dunst's husband.
Correct.
He, I don't know if he's preparing for a role,
but he's got a bit of lollipop syndrome
where he's just shrunk to smithereens.
He's always been more of a heavyset guy, kind of.
He works within a scale, I guess,
but he is very, very skinny.
It's quite a noticeable difference, yeah.
But then you don't know if he's just hitting the gym
and eating well.
And then it would be hard being a celebrity in, you know, like.
I think the thing that the doctor's noticing is that the last time you saw them,
they were significantly bigger and like eating the gym, eating the gym.
Eating the gym.
Eating the gym and doing well with the food at the gym.
You know, it takes time.
It takes a long time.
Whereas he's going like, this is quite rapid from the last time I've seen them.
So Brendan Fraser's another one.
Because, you know, he was.
I saw his photo, yeah.
I have not seen Brendan Fraser of late.
He's really like quite slim.
He kind of wore it though, right?
Because he disappeared from the public eye for so long and everyone's like,
he was the heartthrob and the mummy.
Yeah.
In the 90s, he was like this svelte, well-built dude.
Yeah.
And then he played the whale.
Yeah.
And then he was a big, heavyset lad and everyone's like, ooh.
And so maybe he was just like, meh.
Yeah.
I mean, there's so many people.
This doctor's even pointing the finger at Catherine O'Hara.
Devin! Really? I've just been going to the gym, Devin. So many people. This doctor's even pointing the finger at Catherine O'Hara. David!
Really?
I've just been going to the gym, David.
I know this doesn't work on the radio holding up the phone.
She's looking very slim.
She just looks the same.
I'm skipping over some like Emily Blunt he's seen because.
Emily Blunt's always been.
But she's like gone from tiny to tinier.
You know, like she's very small.
Lupita Nyong'o is on that list as well.
But she just looks shreds.
Yeah.
To me, that's big Jim Gaines.
Yeah.
But Difford, I can't believe that.
Melissa McCarthy was another one that he thought was...
A Zenpiking?
A Zenpiking.
I mean, because people like Oprah has been very honest about it.
She's like, I'm a Zenpick and I'm all for it.
But yeah, Hollywood's shrinking, baby.
Well, speaking about losing weight, there's a new Shapes flavour.
Oh, great.
Oh, my God.
Is it Shapes of Zenpick?
You can see the flavour.
It's not, no.
We'll get into that next.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I said new shapes flavour, but technically it's still already a flavour.
It's just that Arnott's have announced gluten-free barbecue.
What is the carbohydrate in, what are they called?
Shapes.
I literally had typed shapes into Google carbohydrate in, in, um, what are they called? Shapes. Shapes.
I just have a complete,
I literally had typed shapes into,
to Google what the carbohydrate was
and I had,
I was looking at the word
and I couldn't say it.
What do you mean,
what's the carbohydrate?
It's not rice,
flour or corn.
It's flour.
Flour,
yeah,
it'll be flour.
Just wheat flour,
yeah.
So then this will be
a gluten-free flour.
So,
yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
What does that make of?
And then sometimes seasonings have gluten in them too
Do they?
Yeah
I know it's weird why would you do that
So they're doing a gluten free
So it's going to taste more like dust
Gluten free flours are made by
Grinding gluten free grains
Seeds, nuts and other ingredients into a fine powder
I made
I'm just thinking about grinding and cutting things fine,
I made chimichurri last night.
I thought you were going to say, talking about grinding,
I made love last night.
Talking about grinding, I downloaded the app,
and I'm going to see what's out there for me penis-wise.
That's quite controversial, but I'm not a fan of any kind of really
cracker or shape or jacks.
I like a nice cracker with a cheese and maybe
a wafer.
Wafer cracker. You do a water thin. Yeah.
I'll do it
very OT
seed heavy. Yeah. Oh yeah.
I like those big boys. Yeah same.
Those are expensive though. Those real crumbly wumbly ones.
Yeah I want to spend like $20
a box. Those are the
crackers I like.
But yeah, I definitely find they're a bit dry for me.
Just a box of... Chuck four of them in your mouth and you're chewing
and it turns to a paste.
You're going to get stuck up between your gums
and the side of your mouth.
Then you need to drink.
A lot of tongue work to get that out.
Yep.
All in between the teeth.
And then you've got to go...
Yes, you've got to rinse it out.
You've got to have a post-Shapes rinse.
I would love if, is Shapes Arnott's?
Yeah.
I would love if Arnott's released Shapes flavours as seasonings though.
Oh.
Imagine getting chicken crimpy.
But you can just literally get chicken salt.
No, it's not the same because you can't taste the crimpy.
Well, you can surely find a crimpy flavouring somewhere.
Well, crimpy's just a shape.
Crimpy's the shape of the shape and a chicken is the flavour.
But you can taste the crimpy.
Which is weird that it got its shape and its flavour in its title,
but pizza didn't.
Yeah, but it could have been different to just chicken.
Pizza Hex again.
Pizza Hex.
Pizza Hex would be a great name.
Pizza Hex.
No. No. It sounds like you're having sex with a guy called Pete. With a cool ex would be a great name Pete's ex No No
Sounds like you're having sex
With a guy called Pete
Yeah
Pete's ex
Which might not be all bad
Depending on
I bet Sir Peter Blake
I believe I've slept with a Pete
I'm sure he's had rest in peace
Sir Peter Blake
With his red socks on
He left his red socks on
Get your socks on
Get your lucky socks on
Yeah
Yeah
Get down to it
Have you slept with a Peter?
I think so.
Now, your middle name is Peter.
My middle name is Peter,
so technically,
I have.
It does count.
It does.
Technically,
you do regularly
sleep with a semi-Peter.
With a semi-Peter.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley
Silly little poe
Silly little poe Silly Little Pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole,
silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole,
silly little pole.
Silly Little Pole is about a news story during the rounds of a lady
who apparently invited people around for a dinner party
and then asked them to chip in
$100? $100 each.
To cover the cost of the dinner party.
Yeah, this was in Australia.
So $100 Australian.
What a potluck!
Yeah, pretty good exchange rate at the moment, so not too
much over $100.
If you can't afford it, which is
absolutely fine. You potluck it.
You potluck it or you say, hey, should we go out for dinner and each pay for yourself?
I mean, $100 each.
Go out for dinner.
It's not going to be that much.
Is it a hen's do?
You know, like, what are we chipping in for?
Is my meal going to cost $100?
Absolutely not.
No.
Short on rent that week
by the sounds of it.
It does sound like it.
Should guests have to pay
the host for a dinner party?
4% of people said yes.
96% of people said no.
Okay, that is one of the most
overwhelming poll results
we've either had in the history.
Have we ever had $100?
No.
We've ever had just a flat out no.
We're all shaking our heads.
Maybe we could do
would you pick up
A hundred dollar bill
If no one was looking
No because someone
Would be like
I can't
I've got a sore back
Okay what about if we did
Do you want a hundred dollars
No strings
I reckon that'd be a hundred percent
Yeah no because someone
Would be like
No such thing as a free lunch
That's what someone would say
By the end of the week
Should we try to get
A hundred percent on something
Is the sky blue
No it's not today though
It's pretty grey
It's pretty grey Yeah Lottie said You're a. It's pretty grey. It's pretty grey, yeah.
Lottie said, you're a guest. That's
the whole point. It's like paying to attend a wedding
which is also bananas that it happens.
Yeah.
Throw the
wedding you can afford. That's always my point of view.
If that's 10 guests and everyone
brings a plate, that's fine.
Brianne says, not money but I think you
should always bring something
or at least offer to bring something.
I even always offer or sometimes just bring a dessert to even my parents
or parent-in-laws if they're having us over for dinner.
Yeah, you always say, I'll do a salad.
I'll do a pud.
I'll do a pud.
Can I bring a loaf of mummafria around as garlic bread?
I'll chip in $4.
Somebody appreciates the garlic bread.
I do.
You love when I bring the garlic bread. Oh, it's beautiful. I'll chip in $4. Didn't tell me bread I do You love when they bring the garlic bread
It's beautiful
I'll chip in $4
didn't tell me that
she loved the garlic bread
that much
Well I think he could
you know
No I always do a couple
He always does a couple
You want a couple more
next time
Two for $4
No
It's top notch
garlic bread
Good lord
How dare you
Yeah that margarine
Honestly though
it pops
It does
It does And it does.
And that garlic from the People's Republic of China
growing in heaven and feces.
Oh, it's delicious.
Gorgeous.
All other garlic breads are too dry.
No, it's my favourite garlic bread, hands down.
Me too, hands down.
Jack's, no, there's that big flat one.
No, it's so dry.
No, it's not the big flat one with the caramelised onion
and the parmesan.
Oh, no, we're not including that. the parmesan. We're not including that.
We're not including this $15 flatbread with balsamic.
It's $9.
I get it from the butcher.
It rules.
I know it rules, but that's not.
We're talking about a French-style garlic bread.
We're everyday people here.
We're talking about everyday people garlic bread.
Relatable.
Yeah, yeah.
Mumma Farrelly's garlic bread.
What was I thinking?
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Mumma Farrelly's garlic bread. What was I thinking? Thank you.
Thank you.
No chance, says Jack.
If you're hosting, you've got to be prepared to pay for everything.
That's what's involved with hosting.
Unless you say potluck.
Potluck.
Not everything.
Drinks.
Bring a bottle of wine.
Shay said, I'll pay dinner guests to leave on time.
That's actually a great idea.
If you're out the door before nine, you get a $5 bill on the way out.
Yeah, good idea.
It's a great idea.
You could do that.
That'd be good.
Amy said,
you would hope it would swing in roundabouts
and you get an invite to somebody else's house
and if you take care of it this time,
they take care of it next time.
If you don't, maybe silence.
Maybe the silence is speaking volumes.
Ooh.
Okay.
Reading too much
into it, I think. Carmen said, if I wanted to pay for dinner, I'd go
to a restaurant. Very good point. Louise,
my husband is a chef and he suggested this for
family dinners, which I wasn't on board with.
But I suggested maybe they bring,
just bring wine as
that's of equivalent value. And if they don't drink
it, they tend to leave it behind anyway.
That's the best part about having a dinner party or a party
is the leftover booze afterwards.
You ever seen anybody pick up their last three beers and leave the party with their three
beers?
No, no, no.
That's my tax.
Leave those in the fridge, thank you.
If you can't finish it, it's gone in the garage fridge.
Yeah.
So I can finish mowing the lawns and just take a little detour to the house through
the garage.
Have some of your beers.
Grab a cool beer.
That garage beer is about to get a hiding is what is going to happen.
It depends, says Tash.
Only yes if a group decide to have dinner that one person will host and provide,
then everybody contributes.
No if you've invited the people to come around and ask them not to bring any food.
That's the host's choice to provide for everybody.
Yeah.
All very good points.
Yeah.
Yeah. Just bring a couple of garlic breads.
You can't go wrong. A couple of garlics
and you can't go wrong.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodanale.
Play ZM.
Okay, I got excited about this, but I'll say
it's very close.
Apparently, solo women in New Zealand
are more likely to own a home than solo men.
So, like, be the only owner of the house.
The only name on the title.
And I was like, go, go, feminism, go.
You know?
International Women's Day is over, but it's still alive for me.
But why?
But there's a but coming.
Well, it's only by, by like 2.2% more.
Still more though.
Still beat you. So 22.9%.
Still beat you. We could probably
call that 23, 22.9.
We could probably call that 23. Okay.
Round up. We could probably call that 25.
Round it up. Round it up. 30.
Round it up to the nearest 50.
Half of houses. Okay.
Oh no. 22.9% of owner occupied homes
In New Zealand are owned by women
With only one woman on the title
Whereas 20.7%
Are owned by men
With only one man on the title
And then are the other like 50 odd percent
Joint or company owned
Yeah right okay
But so that's good
You're like oh go women You're owning your own homes
and stuff.
But men are more likely
in New Zealand
to own an investment property.
Right.
So as like extra?
26.3% of investment properties
are owned by only a man
and 21.6% are owned
by only a woman. And then the rest of them. And the rest are owned by only a man and 21.6% are owned by only a woman.
And then the rest of them.
And the rest are owned by trusts or families or groups.
Trusts, families, businesses, groups, or a couple.
Yeah.
Like we're joint, me and Aaron are joint owned.
But it doesn't necessarily, because it just says solar woman as in there's a woman on
the title.
It doesn't mean that you don't.
Because if you, if say I owned, I was the only name on my title,
Aaron's still entitled to it, isn't he?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it doesn't actually really matter.
But who is like married
and has just one name on the title?
Wouldn't you put both?
Well, I guess if you owned the house
before you got together, maybe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, true.
Because I was reading an article here
about someone who had bought,
a woman who had bought her first home on her own.
Yeah.
Which is bloody hard to do.
Much easier when you've got two incomes contributing towards it, so bravo.
And then when she got together with her partner,
the title was still under her name.
Did she say, holler, we want prenup?
I don't know if she hollered, we want prenup.
She should have hollered, we want prenup.
Yeah, because the name on the title doesn't matter
After two years does it?
That your partner
Regardless of gender and regardless of whether they contributed
To the purchase of that property
Without holler we want prenup
Full de facto
They are entitled to half of it now
Holler we want prenup
Do you hear me holler we want prenup?
Yeah
How would you bring that up though? Are you just like, hey?
Do you know, I've never, because I don't even know.
I reckon you need to hit it early.
Early. Early stages of the book. Even before
the love and stuff, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And almost
like jokingly, the first time you say it,
I'm just going to let you know, if you're moving in,
we need you to sign the prenup. This house is mine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're more than welcome to move in,
but we need you signing that little agreement
we've got going on here. Yeah.
I'd be so nervous to bring it up because it makes you think like,
hey, there's a bit of, I don't think this relationship's going to work out.
And when it does, I want to take everything that I already had
and leave you with nothing.
Yeah.
Ow.
My arm was longer than I thought it was.
I tried to lift my arm up.
Were you not aware of this huge desk in front of you?
I was trying to pull my arm up and I was like,
I'll go straight through the desk.
That just looks so comical.
Like you're just like, oh, come on arm.
Come on arm, come up onto the desk.
Welcome.
It's like when you fall asleep on your arm.
It's real heavy.
You don't realise how heavy your arm is.
How strong are we just carrying around all these limbs?
I know, your arms, we're real strong.
Have you ever had a dead leg, like a fully dead leg?
Oh, yeah.
And you're trying to move it, you're like,
that thing must weigh like 40 kgs on its own.
That's a ton.
Yeah.
It's a heavy thing.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the Panoramic ZM Think Tank,
this is the top six.
Today is Ken day.
Barbie's Ken, which is, you know, Ken.
It's only a couple of days after the Oscars.
Imagine if that had been on the same day.
I'm just Ken.
Yeah.
Great performance.
I wasn't allowed a Ken.
My first Ken was a groom, and that took a few years
because my mum just would give me Sam's old action men.
To marry Barbie.
To marry Barbie.
And they were always dressing camo, and she was so glamorous,
and I was like, she wouldn't even lay eyes on him.
He's got to go on another tour of Vietnam.
I know, and then she's left, you know, a home alone.
Yeah.
That was in the 80s.
Maybe G.I. Joe was helping out in the Falklands. This was the 90s, thank you. Okay, 90s, so first Gulf War. Yeah. That was in the 80s. Maybe G.I. Joe was helping out in the Falklands.
This was the 90s, thank you.
Okay, 90s, so first Gulf War.
Yeah.
Operation Desert Storm.
Yeah, he's gone to Iraq.
You'll never see him again.
He had to liberate Kuwait.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, get some oil.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I wanted groom Barbie.
I wanted groom Ken.
Yeah, pacifist.
Because he was a florist.
You've actually got a collector's Barbie, haven't you?
Gay Barbie. I've got magic earring Ken. That's right Because he was a florist. You've actually got a collector's Barbie, haven't you? Gay Barbie.
I've got Magic Earring Ken.
That's right.
Who was in the movie.
Was he always meant to be?
No, he wasn't meant to be a...
Wasn't he just Barbie's gay best friend?
It was a different time.
He wasn't meant to be a homosexual.
Right, okay.
Gay Earring.
I mean, Magic Earring Ken.
No, but it just looked like one.
But everybody, he just... He was in the gay year. Yeah, it was... And he cut off his sleeves. Yeah earring. I mean, magic earring Ken. No, but it just looked like one. But everybody, he just...
It was in the gay ear.
Yeah.
And he cut off his sleeves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he was wearing a mesh top.
Didn't he have cut-off denim shorts as well?
Yeah, he was wearing a harness.
Yeah.
It is literally one of the gayest things you'll ever see.
Yeah.
So great.
Coming from a place of love.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, and they recalled it, didn't they?
Oh my God, no, in a fantastic way.
Yeah.
Well, they just stopped manufacturing them.
That's right.
They were like, no. And that's the one you bought. Yeah, I just stopped manufacturing them. That's right. They were like, no.
And that's the one you bought on eBay.
That's so funny.
It's in the cupboard.
I love that.
Top six Kens I would like to see on shelves.
Okay.
It's today's top six.
On Ken Day.
Number six on the list is just nipping out for a quick game of golf, Ken.
Gone all weekend.
Liar.
Yeah.
You lose him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You think Desert Storm
Action Man was gone
for a while.
He's out with the lads.
He's not coming home
all weekend.
Yeah.
And when he does,
he'll be in an Uber
and you'll have to
take him to his car.
He'll be pissed.
Yeah, exactly.
He's locked his clubs
in his car.
Yeah.
And he's left his car.
And you know what?
I will tip my hat to him.
He knew it had too much
at the club rooms.
Although to be fair,
who takes who to whose car more?
Does Aaron take you
to your car more
or you take Aaron's?
I reckon I've driven Aaron
to his car once
in 13 years.
Mine I'd say fortnightly.
Yeah.
Fortnightly I'm going
somewhere to pick up a car.
Yeah.
It's the worst.
Yeah.
Having to go get your car.
Yeah.
Especially like here
because we generally
will leave it around work.
Yeah.
So it's like coming to work on a weekend.
Yes.
Number five on the list of the top six cans I'd like to see on shelves.
I've got a lozenge in my mouth too if you think I'm talking funny.
Should I take it out?
Yes.
It's someone professional.
Top six cans I would like.
That's clear.
God, that's clear.
I'm holding both of you off today.
Your microphone etiquette.
Apparently I do this and I cover my mouth the whole time.
Now is that not radio professional? No, it's not. What if it went up Apparently I do this and I cover my mouth the whole time. Now is that not radio
professional? No, it's not.
What if I well it up when I grab the mic?
You also do that.
Bing bong welcome to Britomart.
The train is just delayed.
Again.
Bing bong welcome to Britomart.
The train is just delayed again.
Number five on the list of
the top six Kens I'd like to see on shelves.
One Upper Ken.
Anytime another Ken tells a story, guess what?
One Upper Ken has a better version of that same story.
He does.
Number four on the list of the top six Kens I'd like to see on the shelf.
Reiki Ken.
A lot of hand material for this Ken.
Big on ice plungers, kombucha, gut health, and imaginary massages.
And he's got lots of joints in his arms for all the...
Yeah, all the Reiki.
...movements.
All the summoning magic.
Yeah, yeah.
God's sake, Reiki Ken, get an elbow into me.
Yes.
Like, touch me.
Yeah.
Push it.
Number three on the list of the top six Kens I'd like to see on shelves, Grand Plans Ken.
Okay.
Always got something big on the horizon that never eventuates.
We all know that Ken.
He's a real mover
and a shaker.
He's got this, that,
this, that, this, that,
this and that lined up.
None of it ever
ends up happening.
Number two on the list
of the top six Kens
I'd like to see on shelves
is peaked in high school Ken.
He's got a belly.
Yeah, he's got a belly
but he will really tell you
about the outrageous
tries he scored
when he was in the first 15
at school. And number one
on the list of the top six Kens I'd like to see on shelves
for International Ken Day.
Recently divorced, looking good,
Silver Fox Ken.
Oh yeah, okay. Hot.
Yeah, he's got a sort of like
the shirts open a couple of buttons.

with himself.
He's ripped.
He's ripped.
He's ripped.
Yep.
And he kind of wants to
see what it's like
to make out with another Ken.
That is today's Top 6.
Play ZM's Fletch,
Vaughn and Hayley.
I thought Gen Z,
the up and coming generation
that I've got a lot of time for
because they're like,
I don't want to work
so I'm not going to.
Beautiful attitude.
I've got to agree with you, my kings.
That's a great way to handle yourself.
I thought this was being bred out of us, but apparently 70% of Gen Z men believe they should be the primary breadwinner in a heterosexual relationship, otherwise they feel emasculated.
That's so insane.
By their woman.
By their woman.
By their Sheila. Earning more money than them. That's so insane. By their woman. By their woman. By their Sheila.
Earning more money than them. That is wild.
Whereas women in the same age group
I think it was 16%.
Couldn't give a toss really.
Said that it would be great, that man should
earn more than the woman.
That's so surprising to me because
you'd look at Gen Z
thinking they're sort of a real like woke
generation, very like open to busting apart gender norms.
This feels like a real step in the other direction.
Yeah, I think it's just because they're up and coming,
they're just, like, joining the workforce.
They haven't, like, millennials apparently, we're all good with it.
We're just like, yeah, any money's good money.
I don't care where it's coming from.
Just add it in and transfer it.
It'd be good to have some money that'd be great, Max.
Because I just googled this because I knew
it was a thing overseas in America
because I've heard it talked about a lot, but in
2022, the percentage of domestic
university students who are men
reached an all-time low of 39%.
Oh, wow.
That's bad news for that generation
because the women will be the ones with the degrees.
Getting the big...
Degrees don't earn equal good money, though.
Well, not always.
In the late 90s, when we were in high school,
this real, you've got to go to university,
you've got to get a tertiary education.
Yeah, big time.
And the dudes that were just like,
I'm just going to get a trade.
They were earning great money in their 20s
and then in their 30s they bought businesses
and now we're in their 40s and they're doing absolutely fine.
The other guys are fishing boats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We really poo-pooed the trades in the 90s and the 2000s.
I tell you what.
And now, full of remorse about that.
Don't have the big student loans either.
No.
Yeah, I find this is so interesting.
I couldn't get, literally, me and Aaron have never had
given a toss about who earned the money. Well, as our this is so interesting. I couldn't get, I literally, me and Aaron have never had given a toss
about who earned the money.
Well, as our only Gen Z producer, Shannon,
do you care who,
I mean, the females Gen Z don't,
do they, Vaughan?
You said.
No, they don't.
They don't care as much as the men.
16% of Gen Z women think men should earn more.
This definitely doesn't ring true in my relationship.
I think Brendan would be stoked
if I brought some more money to the
relationship. Yeah, right. I think
there's probably a bit of an influence
of some male
influences online. You know, you've got
your Andrew Taits and some of those podcasts
and recently I met a few
men through some plus ones and
they brought out some of those attitudes and I was like
oh, I didn't know we still had people. Yeah, we're doing
that. But it's definitely around and it's quite shocking hearing it.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
Wouldn't you just sort of think, mole money?
Yeah, who cares where the money's coming from?
Mole awesomeness?
It's all coming into the relationship.
Yeah, totally.
I mean.
I would just absolutely have a sugar mole.
Okay. Sit back, relax, look pretty. I mean, do what I do well, you know. Do you know what I mean? I would just absolutely have a sugar mama. Okay.
Sit back, relax, look pretty.
I mean, do what I do well, you know.
Yeah.
Look pretty.
Just rest on what you've been born with.
Yeah, exactly.
A great tush.
It's only getting better.
Lovely set of pins.
Yeah.
A real, you know, he's a hardworking man.
He can mow a good lawn.
Yeah, I'll mow a lawn.
While your mama goes out.
That sounded sexual.
I'll mow your lawn. I'll mow her lawn. I your mama goes out. That sounded sexual. I'll mow your lawn.
I'll mow her lawn.
I'll mow all the lawns.
This is so interesting to me.
I did not expect that at all.
Yeah, it's fascinating, eh?
Yeah.
13 past seven.
Next on the show, I'm going to share with you the amazing show I've stumbled across.
I'm going to say you're a little late to the party.
You don't even know what show I'm talking about because it's unheard of.
Now, you know the shows that I've been watching.
I've finished Love Island.
I've been watching Maths.
I have abandoned Love is Blind.
Too trash even for me.
Really?
Wow, okay.
Wow, that's saying something.
Yeah, thank you.
You are trash after all.
I know.
I am literal bottom of the bin trash. Remember the talking trash ad from the Fraggles. Yeah, thank you. You are trash after all. I know, I am literal bottom of the bin trash.
Remember the talking trash from the Fraggles?
Yeah, I am.
80s reference.
But I just couldn't do it.
I just couldn't do it.
It's so American and also quite deeply religious at times.
Oh, okay.
It all threw me.
Anyway, so I was like, it's time to get back to some drama.
Okay.
You know, like scripted drama.
And so I was looking around all the platforms
because I'm literally subscribed to all of them,
which is terrible.
And I stumbled across this show that I want to share with you guys.
It's about this businessman and his family.
And he runs like a big media sort of conglomerate.
Yeah, right. And he has these kids kids and he's trying to work out who's
going to be the successor.
I can't remember the name of the show. Like a succession plan.
Like a succession plan.
Yeah, and he's like this real grumpy
dad and all the kids are kind of like fighting.
It's really dramatic. And do you think
it's won any Emmys?
I haven't looked. I haven't looked. I'll have a look.
I think it's called Succession.
Are you referring to six-year-old show Succession?
Succession.
Succession.
Oh, it's won all the Emmys.
Yeah, it's won all of them.
It's won all of them.
And it finished like last year.
What?
Yeah.
It's done.
I know.
Oh my God, I thought this was fresh and hot.
This is right up there with that time you watched the wrong season of Love Island when
you thought it was the actual current season.
And then someone was like,
oh, Jenny,
I hate Jenny, eh?
And I was like,
oh, Jenny hasn't arrived
on my season yet.
Jenny's still two seasons away.
I literally,
when Succession first came out,
I was like,
I'm going to watch it
and I watched a couple of episodes
but then I got distracted by,
I don't know,
life and other shows
and I never watched Succession
and I just never watched it
and then just recently
I was like,
I'm going to get in. It's a phenomenal show. I did this with The Sopranos. I never watched Succession. I just never watched it. And then just recently I was like, I'm going to get in.
It's a phenomenal show.
I did this with The Sopranos.
I never watched it when it was hot and I watched it all.
You would have been very young when The Sopranos came out.
Exactly, exactly.
And now it's one of my favourite shows of all time.
I never watched Breaking Bad and I watched that all maybe two years ago.
And now I'm doing the same with Succession.
I found a list online.
I don't know where I got it from,
but I screenshotted it
and I've been working my way through it.
It's like the list of the top 50 shows
by like reviews, like critic.
So it's like all the,
it lists them from like one to 50.
And I've seen a bunch of them,
but there's heaps that I haven't.
So I'm just kind of working my way through that.
Are there any on there that you're like,
I'm not even going to give that a chance?
Yeah, there's a couple.
Yeah.
Like maybe sci-fi shows.
Oh, right.
No, Sex and the City's not in there.
Like it's a really good list of amazing.
Well, maybe give sci-fi a chance.
I think Sex and the City was heavily watched,
but not like amazingly reviewed.
Right.
Yeah, that's the thing.
It could be amazingly watched,
but this is like a critics
list of top 50. Because I just
finished Top Boy.
Summer House and Top Boy. Yeah. Which I've been like
slowly getting. And that's like people have called it the
British Wire. I love The Wire.
You would love this show. I'm a white man
in my 40s. I have to have loved The Wire.
Otherwise they revoke my membership. Oh my god.
It's on Netflix. So good.
I'm just so good. I'm going on Var variety.com's best TV shows of all time.
What I started yesterday, The Gentleman.
Oh, same.
Guy Ritchie.
He made a movie.
It came out in 2019 called The Gentleman.
It had like Matthew McConaughey.
It was good though.
And then this is like long form Guy Ritchie and TV show.
And he's also got that movie coming out with
Henry Cavill
soon. Who will?
About World War II and like this band of
like ruffians of World War II. Oh yeah, that looks good.
Masters of the Air
I'm still on. That's amazing.
What else have I been watching?
Oh, Shogun. Have you heard
about that? Based off the 1970s
novel about the Still watching Bluey too?
He's still on Bluey?
Yes.
Yes, if I've got 10 minutes, I'll get a couple of Bluey episodes.
And I've almost finished season three and I'm real sad because I don't know what I'm going to do.
I'm pretty sad again.
Bluey's not on my list of 50 or 50.
I used to laugh.
I used to laugh at you watching Bluey, but genuinely there's so many articles that you see about it.
Variety, according to the greatest TV shows of all time has got Succession at number 13.
But it's literally just
at number 12 is Sesame Street.
I mean, tell them they're wrong.
I'm not watching every episode of Sesame Street.
I've seen so many episodes of Sesame Street.
But they repeat some of the
little features within so you can fast forward that.
Also, I know how to count to 10.
It's a bit beyond me.
Yeah, okay, he's full of talk. He can't even count to 10. Somebody get down front and count to 10. It's a bit beyond me. Prove it. Yeah, okay. He's full of talk.
He can't even count to 10.
Somebody get a count in here.
Go.
Do it.
One.
Correct.
Do it in Maori.
Do it in Maori.
Tāherua tōru whare ma onu whitu waru iwi tā kou.
Tā kou mātai, tā kou mātou, tā kou mātou.
Oh, he's a good boy.
He's good, isn't he?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1994, Moran's full intermediateate Maldivian Language Champion.
Now do it in Mandarin.
I tell you what, looking back.
Do it in Mandarin.
Come on, come on.
I can do Japanese.
A little bit.
Ishi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, nana, hachi, ku, ju.
Yep.
I would have bowed a few earlier.
Can't do Mandarin.
Wow.
Cancelled.
Play ZM's Fletchvorner Nailie. to run. Wow. Cancelled. Well, this week,
Airbnb have announced that they are banning
all indoor security
cameras.
Now, normally, security cameras
were, because I remember seeing a listing
when I was looking once at a place
overseas, and they were very open about the fact that there were cameras inside in the lounge.
Oh, I don't like that.
Get out.
That's creepy, eh?
I was like, I'm not booking this place.
It is, but if the place spends a lot of time empty,
you kind of want security cameras.
But then outside.
Or put them in if people leave.
I don't really understand internal security cameras anyway.
Have them outside before people come in the house.
Before they can break in.
Yeah.
I don't, it's weird.
I don't want to be filmed.
But like how often are you at an Airbnb?
You're always somewhere like if you're overseas,
it might be summer and hot.
You walk around in your undies.
Yeah.
Just on the couch.
All the time.
They could see all of that.
Yeah, that's, it's gross.
It's such an invasion of your privacy.
When we had an Airbnb,
Vaughn, you were in your undies for a great deal of time.
It was hot.
Though we would have been able to get a clip
from the concert we put on the night before.
Yeah, that would have been great actually.
So they've always been banned in places like bathrooms
and bedrooms and I guess private areas.
But yeah, you have been able to have them in hallways,
like lounges, that kind of thing.
But they have come out and said that, yeah,
they've got to be disclosed on the listing page
before booking, clearly visible,
and were not located in spaces like sleeping areas
and bathrooms.
That was what it used to be.
Yeah, sleeping areas and bathrooms.
That was what it used to be. Entrance sleeping areas and bathrooms. That was what it used to be.
I was thinking like an entrance.
No, I don't like it.
Or even like a big lounge area.
I would be like, oh yeah.
Cover it up if it's a problem when you're there
because it should be off anyway.
So now the update is all security cameras
are not allowed inside listings
regardless of location, purpose or prior disclosure.
So even if they say, we've got cameras
and you're not allowed, not allowed.
I think that's great.
Do you find them even outside creepy?
What? At an
Airbnb? Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah, because they're
watching you. I mean, I've never rented
an outer space for Airbnb.
But if you were to rent your home,
you'd want cameras outside, right?
Yeah, and I would watch.
I would look at it.
Because I'm like, what are they doing?
Really?
I knew people.
So you're the temptation
because you are imagining every Airbnb owner as you.
Yes.
And you're putting your own,
like how you would function on them.
Yeah, messy, loud.
Parties.
Parties, singing.
More guests than you booked.
Way more guests.
And if it was my house, yeah, I would be watching.
But you just can't have that kind of attitude when you're,
you've just got to trust people.
I think as well, yeah.
If you are renting out a space as an Airbnb.
Yeah, this is true.
But if you're renting out your place as an Airbnb venue, this is very untrustworthy. But if you're renting out your place as an Airbnb
venue, then you just have to accept
that the odd thing
will get broken. The odd party might
happen. But I've had friends that were at
an Airbnb and I think one of them went
outside for a vape or a ciggy
and someone on the camera saw,
was obviously watching, and then text them to
remind them of the policy of no vaping and
smoking. No vaping outside.
Yeah, I think so.
What?
This was a while ago overseas, yeah, but the person had been looking.
See, that's the thing.
And they messaged them and they said, hey.
In their backyard.
No vaping.
No, I don't like it.
It's creepy.
I don't like it at all.
So, no, not allowed.
Yeah, so.
But external, allowed.
External, allowed. Yeah, so. But external, allowed. External, allowed.
Yeah, okay.
But, like, how external?
When it's like, I don't know, it's a bit creepy.
Yeah, like a deck?
Like a back deck?
Yeah.
Because that's where all the fun happens.
Yeah, that's where the party happens.
That's where the party spills,
when I'm partying in your house and breaking all your glasses.
Now, Easter is on the way.
So it's two weeks on Friday.
It's Good Friday in two weeks.
Is that right?
That's wild.
Yay. We were just discussing off-air
that me and Vaughn are going away together.
This was not my choice.
I was not invited.
This was not my choice.
Fletch has nowhere to go.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
It's a little holiday.
I just wanted to stay at home.
Just the two of us. Just the two of us in a little cabin. One bedroom cabin. Yeah, wow. nowhere to go. Unbelievable. Yep. It's a little holiday. Just the two of us.
Just the two of us in a little cabin. One bedroom cabin.
Wow. That's also not the story.
Anyway, so Easter's
coming. Easter eggs, of course, are on
the shelves. They've been on the shelves for months.
I need to choose mine, actually, because me and Aaron always do a hunt.
I need to get our order in for hot cross buns
for the Thursday
show. What am I going to do?
I'm on keto.
Not on that day.
I'm not.
Anyway, so this is a warning because a mum has gone online to give people a bit of a heads up about the mini eggs.
Oh, yeah.
Now, there's all sorts of little mini eggs that you do.
There's the little ones on the side of the big ones.
You get them in the little packets.
There's five or ten in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some of them have caramel in the middle.
Some of them are just rock solid.
Those are the best ones.
The little ones with caramel in the middle are the best ones.
No, not white.
Grow up.
Yeah, stop being trash.
White chocolate is not chocolate.
When will people start accepting that white chocolate is chocolate?
No.
It's the one thing white things don't get.
Such a whitewashed chocolate.
Yeah, exactly.
But he colonises. It's the one world where things don't get. Such a whitewashed chocolate. Yeah, exactly. But he colonises.
It's the one world where white is not privileged.
Yeah.
Okay?
So her son found one of these little mini eggs and was eating it
and started choking.
And she said she found him.
Now, this is a mother talking about a son.
Yeah.
I'm imagining perhaps it would have been all right.
She said seconds from death.
Turning blue.
Kids try it, man.
When our girls were little, we would just turn around and they'd be like,
what are you doing?
Everything, like grapes have to be cut into bits so they can,
like if it just slides down.
They're learning to eat, dudes.
They're learning to eat.
And so they just pop it in and the tongue goes, that's going down.
Seven.
Seven?
Yeah, seven.
Maybe it's his first time on a mini egg.
Yeah, but surely you'd suck or you'd bite the mini egg first, right?
Yeah.
Adults choke on mini eggs.
It's not a kid issue.
Adults will put things in their mouth and be like, and then.
Let's not forget I choked on a flap of ham.
That's right.
In the throat.
Because it perfectly sealed your.
Because it sealed my orifice, my esophagus.
What a way to go.
What a way to go.
The only thing that got it out of my throat was because the sound
it made made me laugh so hard that I choked it up.
Problem solved immediately.
Anyway, she said, we're a family who love
mini eggs. I had no idea that this was
even possible, that a mini egg would
get stuck in his throat. That is a warning.
Yeah, indeed.
So today I thought we could share our choking stories because we've all got one.
Now, I choked on ham.
I've choked on a 10-cent piece
because you know when you're a kid
and you just start shoving stuff in your mouth?
No.
You're just like, I wonder if I can swallow this.
Naughty.
Naughty.
I was choking on the 10-cent piece
and I remember being like, oh, oh no.
And I ran upstairs and I was like, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. And I got the smack on the 10 cent piece and I remember being like, oh, oh no. And I ran upstairs
and I was like,
eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
And I got the smack on the back.
And then my dad was like,
how'd that get in your mouth?
And I tried to tell
an elaborate story
of the coin being on the pillow
and how I turned my head
and it accidentally swooped it.
Like, oh my God,
how embarrassing.
As opposed to just like,
I swallowed it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I put it in my mouth.
How old were you
when you did that?
I don't know.
I remember it,
it probably would have been
about seven or eight. Yeah. Don't put coins in your mouth yeah. I put it in my mouth. How old were you when you did that? I don't know. I remember it. It probably would have been about seven or eight.
Yeah.
Don't put coins in your mouth.
Don't put coins in your mouth.
But it is, as an adult, you do get surprised, don't you,
when you start choking?
I don't think I've choked as an adult,
other than water in the wrong hole.
In the ham hole.
In the ham.
No, the ham was a kid.
Oh, it was the ham when you were a kid.
Oh, I thought the ham was a recent ham.
No, I was like 12, 11 or 12 years old.
I thought it happened like last month.
I was lightly choked by a lover once.
Really?
We're not taking those stories?
We're not taking those stories.
No, no, no.
What did you choke on?
Absolutely.
But you choked you.
Surely you've been an adult and you've just taken a big, you know, you haven't chewed the food.
I do it all the time.
All the time.
I can't believe in hundreds of thousands of years of evolution we haven't worked out this gag reflex.
I mean, we've already had a text from someone who choked on a hot dog.
Now, you've got to chew that.
Oh, you've got to chew that.
Especially if you bite a bit off, but that's perfectly throat-sized.
Yeah, it is.
It'll be lodged right in there, my dude.
Or sometimes if the food's too hot, you're like,
well, I'll just swallow, and then I don't have to eat the hot.
Yeah, we go, you're just like, get it down.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, well, let's take your calls.
0800-DARLS-IT-IN is the number.
You can text through 9696.
Oh, God, someone's choking on a 50-cent coin.
That was the biggest coin available.
Don't put it in your mouth.
We want to know, what did you choke on?
A seven-year-old choked on a mini egg.
Mini egg.
A mini Easter egg.
The mother issued a warning this Easter season for those who celebrate.
Suck or chew first.
My partner's cousin choked on steak last October.
Got up from the table.
No one realised what was wrong.
He took himself off to a bedroom where he died.
What?
Doctors say never
leave the table if you're choking.
Never leave the table. Make a big song and a dance.
Don't go away and deal with it.
That's such a key. I don't want to make
a fuss. I don't want to make a fuss.
That is terrible. Make a fuss.
You're dying. This is the time to make a fuss.
If we're going to go from a really serious one like that
we're going to go to a silly one like this.
My pug choked on naan bread.
Lost consciousness.
Went blue.
Well, they were sort of born to choke.
Yeah.
Pugs don't eat naan.
What are you doing feeding your pug a naan?
Yeah.
Although I can imagine a pug being like,
what do you want from the Indian shop?
He's like, oh, buy chicken in a naan.
There should never be any naan left over, Michelle.
What did you choke on?
Okay.
So I was at home and I was eating a carrot and I was going down the stairs and then I
thought I'll just sort of jump down the last two stairs for whatever reason.
Why not?
And when I jumped, yeah, exactly, faster.
And then I basically, when I did that,
a piece of carrot lodged in my throat.
Oh, God.
So I started choking, staggered into the garage
where luckily my husband was home and he's trying to say,
are you choking?
And I'm trying to say, yes.
Weird question to ask someone choking.
Someone who can't breathe and can't get their throat.
Are you choking or not?
I need to know. Say the words, woman.
Exactly.
So anyway, spun me around,
did the Heimlich manoeuvre.
Didn't work the first time.
Panic, panic.
Second time, it worked.
Carrots came flying out.
Oh, thank God.
But the most embarrassing part was,
after all the coughing,
I sort of lost control of my batter and wet my pants.
Oh!
All the squeezing as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, not my finest moment.
How you're alive. I was going to ask when your husband was parked up behind you
if he grabbed the boobs,
because I know I wouldn't miss that opportunity.
It's almost instinctual, isn't it?
Yeah, give her a cup of that while I'm back.
Boy, your wife would be dying.
In almost every other situation, yes, but not in that situation.
She's dying to make one last grab, you know.
That's what she would have wanted. Well, they're in that fit. So if she's dying, one last grab, you know, that's what she
would have wanted.
It's weird if she's dead and you're still
touching them, that's gross.
Michelle, thank you. Trudy,
what did you choke on?
First of all,
long time listener,
first time caller.
Yay!
Welcome.
Thank you. I choked. Welcome. Thank you.
I choked on a roast lamb sandwich.
Oh, yum.
How dry was the lamb?
It sounds like a Turkish lamb to me.
I was pretty hungry
and I just think I bit off more
than I should have.
So I swallowed that
and knew instantly that I was choking.
So I grabbed a glass of water to sort of wash it down.
Yeah.
However, the water came spouting right back out.
It's blocked.
No for it to go.
So I knew I was in trouble.
My husband started whacking me on the back,
which dislodged the lamb just enough so I could get a bit of air.
Yeah.
But we had to call the ambulance.
Oh, wow.
Was it going to take too long?
And I had to get it surgically removed.
Oh, my God.
It was really long.
Was there a bone in there or something?
Yeah, I told the doctor to call me princess
as I was going under the anaesthetic.
Oh, yeah, wow.
We've all had a hot nurse.
I've asked them to call me worse things than that.
Don't worry.
Trudy, thank you.
So many messages and texts.
We'll get to more of those next.
And a warning ahead of Easter.
A mum has a warning.
A mini cream egg.
Her son nearly choked on a mini,
no, not a cream egg, just a mini egg.
Just a mini egg.
Just a mini chocolate egg.
A mini anonymous egg.
Yeah.
Nearly bloody killed him.
Now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we're talking about choking.
We are talking
about choking.
What did you choke on?
I just want to say
we've received
and I,
for one,
hugely grateful
to our Vietnamese listeners.
Yeah.
Hugely grateful
for the cuisine alone.
Oh my God,
yeah.
Vietnamese coffee.
We could do a little
banh mi.
We could do a little
banh mi.
Yeah.
We haven't had a banh mi yet.
Yeah.
Yeah,
love a banh mi.
We used to literally walk out of the studio and scream bun me.
We'd scream chant bun me all the way to the bun me.
We're from Vietnam and when someone chokes on something,
you put a piece of that on their head to stop the choking.
What?
For example, if you're choking on a fish bone,
we put a fish bone on your head.
If you're choking on chicken, we put a piece of chicken on your head.
I'm sorry, but people are dying left, right and middle
and center everywhere in Vietnam
because of this terrible medical
approach to stop choking. Imagine
choking on a nugget and then someone's putting a nugget
on your head. But then do they help you once they've
put the food on your head? I don't know.
That is the help. Someone else messaged
in saying, can you take the gift and accept my invitation?
There's 10 free gifts for me and you'll get yours.
Timu.co.com.
Don't give up those, please.
Don't read that out.
Alex, good morning.
Hi, how's it going?
Good.
Now, this is your brother.
What did he choke on?
Well, he stole my 10-cent piece when we were younger.
So I chased him around the house, managed to tackle him.
Yeah, good.
And pushed his stomach thinking it would come back out,
but instead it went down and he ended up choking on that.
Oh, my God.
He was fine, but I did run away and hide in my room
and my mum dealt to it.
When you ran to your room, were you sure that he was still alive
or did you leave him choking on the floor?
No, I just left him choking.
Wow, ruthless.
But it came out and he kept it as a keepsake as a necklace. They had two or three lollies for that 10 cent back in the day. Wow. Ruthless. God. But it came out and he kept it as a keepsake as a necklace.
Oh, nice.
They had two or three lollies for that 10 cent back in the day.
Yeah.
Right.
You know, it's good money.
It is.
What would it was?
Leave him there.
Leave him.
Where's your brother?
Dead probably.
Thanks, Alice.
Anonymous, what did you choke on?
I choked on a custard square in a custard square eating competition.
I'm sorry.
No, no, let the king speak.
I'm sorry, Anonymous.
I had, there was a bit of backstory.
I was at a wedding and they had a custard square eating competition
and you had to have your hands behind your back and eat the custard square.
And I thought it was going to be pretty well.
Was this a Christian youth wedding?
No, no, it was quite the opposite pretty well. Was this a Christian youth wedding? No, no,
it was quite the opposite actually. This is
pretty decadence.
But anyway,
so
we're talking
custard squares.
Those are some good custard squares.
So anyway, I've sort of got about, maybe I placed
about fourth. I've been beaten by this amazing
man called Henrik.
He sort of seemed to drink it. And I've had about I placed about fourth. I'd been beaten by this amazing man called Henrik. Oh, Henrik.
He sort of seemed to drink it.
And I'd had about two years to think about this.
And then at the same friend's birthday party,
not a Christian birthday party either,
a couple of years later,
they were reliving the custom squaring competition.
I was there with my three kids, the eldest at that,
so just probably about 11, 12.
And we're all rented.
And I sat there and I thought,
all right, I know what I can do.
I'm going to pelican, custom square, I'm going to really go for it.
This is my chance to...
Can I ask anonymous, was Hendrick there again for the rematch?
No, no, he wasn't.
I was feeling very confident about how I was going to go.
Good, good, okay.
Died of time to diabetes, didn't he?
I think so.
So I started pelicking it.
It lodged in my throat
completely. I started
sort of waving and trying to make a bit
of noise. I had the
dog with me. It had tied itself around
its leash around my leg. I was trapped
to the table leg.
Unable to move to try and sort of
dislodge it. The dog's like,
yeah. Yeah, I looked
at my eldest son,
you know,
pleading in my eyes.
He gave me a thumbs up
and started laughing.
And I honestly thought,
I thought I was gone.
I thought that was
a pretty,
that was my moment.
It sounded like the dog
and the kids
wanted you gone.
Like,
that was it.
For Hendrick!
Your oldest son
screams.
This amazing,
this amazing man, Javier.
You're not just saying the names.
The names of the people at these Christian youth events you're going to.
Phenomenal.
Phenomenal names.
Javier is a god then.
He dislodged it.
He was the only one who recognised what was going on.
Right.
Dislodged it.
And then I had the moment,
okay, do I complete the custom squaring competition now
once I've sort of had this huge tank?
Oh, no, you've embarrassed yourself.
Did Javier have a feel of the book?
Yeah, did Javier go for a bit of a grab while he was doing it?
Have a little hold?
No, no, no, he just banged.
Oh, banged?
Yeah, because you shouldn't do.
I've been banged by a couple of Javier's. They know what they're doing. You shouldn't do the Heimlich. You should smack. Smack on. Oh, bang. Yeah, because you shouldn't do. I've been banged by a couple of heavy ears.
They know what they're doing.
You shouldn't do the Heimlich.
You should smack on the back.
Yeah.
Anonymous.
Amazing.
Thank you and all of your amazing named friends.
Yes.
Incredible story.
A couple of messages to finish before we play five on time.
In San Francisco in 2013, I choked.
That's a message from Dean Barker.
Now that is a great sort of like-
Sporting reference.
Sporting reference.
A decade-old sporting reference there about the America's Cup.
Wonderful from you.
Still holding on to it, eh?
Still holding on.
Still better about it.
I like that he's self-deprecating.
It was wild how far up we were.
We were winning, for those that don't know,
we were winning 8-1.
8-1 and they won 9-8.
Yeah.
Is that right?
Yeah.
It was ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
My nephew choked on bacon in a restaurant.
He was about three, hasn't eaten bacon since.
What a way to go, though.
My son woke up from his nap early, wasn't making any noise.
I was like, that's weird.
Realised that he was turning blue, tipped him upside down,
smacked his back.
A large bolt from his cot fell out of his mouth.
Oh, my God.
Whoa.
And it undone him, just put it in his mouth.
That sounds like a legal sentiment right there. It really does. It's a cot manufacturer. Oh, my God. Whoa. And it undone it. He just put it in his mouth. That sounds like a legal sentiment right there.
It really does.
It's a cot manufacturer.
Oh, my God.
I inhaled a full length of spaghetti.
I still remember the sensation of my mum grabbing one length
and pulling it out as it went.
Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily.
Play ZM.
I went to the doctor yesterday
that was an Austin Powers reference
thank you, I know you have been telling me to go for a while
oh my god, you've been putting it off
forever, la doctor or la doctor
I don't know
what was it, male or female?
la doctor, it was a female doctor
all females at my practice
that's nice, yeah it is nice
it's quite a bougie doctors's actually. I like it.
Anyway, I went there for my leg issue
and some peppy happy pills.
And afterwards,
I always get the prescription sent to the pharmacy
that's like right behind the doctor
and I'll just walk down the alley and get it.
Perfect.
And then I got to the pharmacy
and I was like,
I'll get some treatment for those warts I've been talking about.
Because I mentioned maybe last week or the week before
that I've noticed a couple of warts.
I told you, Daisy or Sour Thistle,
squeeze that white milk on there and put a plaster over it.
Yeah.
Suffocates it.
Or Aunt Gran's remedy.
Yeah, I don't know.
Works, mate.
Generations worth. No,
you just go to the pharmacy and get the Bernie
off thing, right? Yeah.
I was like, I'll get the Bernie off thing.
So why have you all of a sudden started getting tiny
warts? I don't know. Warts
are a viral thing. She's touched somebody else
with warts. Oh, no. You know what she's like. She's a
rubber. My affair has not happened
yet, though. I haven't been rubbing against new people.
This is why you don't hug people.
Too much touching leads to warts.
God, now I'm itchy because you're talking about...
But warts aren't itchy.
No, but I just got, my skin got itchy just because she's...
Because I'm yuck.
Yeah.
Basically.
Anyway, warts.
I was like, oh, great, I'm at the pharmacy.
I'll get some wart treatment.
Yeah. pharmacy I'll get some wart treatment yeah and I walked I walked to the counter as like honestly
a really hot dude entered the pharmacy oh really okay and like I was like just entering he enters
just there and I got to the counter and I could feel he was like right behind me and then I went
hi um prescription for Hayley Sproul
should have just been sent over from the doctors out back.
She goes, oh yeah.
And I said, and do you have any insurance for the wards?
What are you after?
I was just looking, you know, do you have any of,
and I started like lifting my arm because there's one there
and I was like, you know, to get rid of the old,
get rid of the old, get rid of the old,
I've got more,
I've got more on the go.
And I had to quite loudly in the end
say to this woman,
I need wart treatment,
which felt completely unsexy
and I felt this really,
I don't know,
I don't,
he was like tall and bronze,
sort of,
almost a Jeremy Wells type.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Did Jeremy Wells manhandle me last week?
Did he?
My nipples have not been soft since.
I have seen that you erect nipples,
and I didn't know Jeremy Wells was the cause.
He put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed for a photo.
Stuff we only dream of.
Oh, and yeah, ever since I've been in a constant state of arousal.
Oh, gosh.
He'll do that to you, Jeremy Wells.
He's a good looking man.
Well, this was sort of.
Some sort of kung fu, like a Vulcan grip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The guy behind me was almost sort of a slight B plus grade Jeremy Wells type.
Okay.
And I felt him.
Very much a compliment.
No one's a Jeremy Wells, but Jeremy Wells.
Anyway, I felt him sort of like shuffle as I think he could tell my embarrassment
of having to ask for the wart treatment.
And then it was a $55 wart treatment.
The pen, the little, is that?
Do you know what it doesn't cost?
Have you got a wart that you haven't put the Bernie pen on?
I haven't done it yet.
Okay, let's put my nature's free if you can find a daisy.
Daisy white milk.
I've got daisies at home.
Sour thistle will also work.
Where do you find sour thistle?
Sour thistle at home too.
Oh, my God.
I don't want to.
It's a white.
You break it open.
It's got this white milk in the stem, and you put it on,
and then you put a plaster over it.
No, but Vaughan, I've seen this.
You've got to trust me on this.
Vaughan, we're not on a warts app.
Yeah, but let's see what works better.
No, we're not in the 1800s, Vaughan.
I'll give you one of my warts. Sometimes I wish we in the 1800s. I'll give you one of my warts.
Sometimes I wish we were.
Calm down.
I'll give you one of my warts.
Yes.
I think there's about four on the go.
Okay.
I'll give you one of my warts.
I only asked for one of your warts.
And I'll use your treatment.
You have to provide it though.
I will.
And on the rest of them,
I'll use the $55 freezy pen.
Yeah.
And we'll have a race.
It's a water off.
It's a water off.
A water off.
How long does it take
this is the
unsexiest radio thing
I've ever heard
in my life
Hayley Sprouse
great Kiwi
water off
yeah
it is weird
you know you
constantly told
to be as appealing
and as you know
yeah
pleasant
to the listener
as possible
and we're like
we've got warts
and we're gonna see
what gets them off first
tune in yeah we're warts and we're going to see what gets them off first.
Tune in.
Yeah, we're warts and all around here, baby.
All right, we'll bring in your little remedy, Grant.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Jetstar have asked Kiwis what makes them swipe right when looking at a dating profile.
Big, beautiful eyes.
Big, pumped up arms.
Really hot and sexy people.
That would be me.
Yeah, it's good looking, right?
Single ideally.
Single ideally, yeah.
Single ideally.
Not someone in a couple just looking for friend.
Well, no.
What kind of friend?
A special friend.
Ah, no.
If you've got an affair brewing.
According to the results,
if you've got a profile...
You've got a pot of affair on there.
Yeah, you've got to put it on there.
If you've got a profile
that conveys a passion for travel,
that will make half of people swipe right.
Yeah, totally.
People who are passionate about travel,
it's very attractive.
Yeah.
Because then you're like,
think of the holidays we'd have,
think of the adventures we could go on.
Go to some cool places.
Yeah, travelling would be like a priority in our relationship.
As for the perfect dating profile, food came up number one.
So not big muscles, like you said, big arms.
Big steaks.
Food came up number one.
Yeah, food.
Any kind of local cuisine
Or enjoying food
63% of people would swipe right
Gobbing down a hot dog
At a carnival
And you're like
Wow
That looks fun
Or you're thinking
Maybe it's them cooking
Preparing
It's them making the food
Or it's them just out eating
Maybe you've got a plate
Of nice food in front of you
Yeah
Weird
It's weird eh
Yeah
I also saw on this
Because they're looking at
Love in relation to travel,
and they were saying that 80% of singles feel like there's a lack of choice
within their scene, like within their local scene,
so that they'd be more than happy to travel for love.
I just couldn't be bothered with the long distance thing.
Actually.
But you've done that.
It could suit me.
For your affair.
Well, I like a bit of space, you know. Yeah, right, your own space. So you wouldn't see them for two weeks, you've done that. It could suit me. For your affair. Well, I like a bit of space, you know.
Yeah, right, your own space.
So you wouldn't see them for two weeks.
You'd be fine.
I say that.
But yeah, when I did do long distance with Aaron for a year,
it was so boring.
Yeah.
It does suck when you want them to be around.
They can't be.
So as well as having a profile pic that has food in it,
relaxing beach side.
Oh, yeah. 58%
of people love that. That's because we like
to see if you're shirtless or you're in a bikini.
Oh yeah, so they maybe have to be shirtless.
Oh, I'd love a beach pic. No, that's a body pic.
Yeah. Yeah.
29% of people said
they'd be willing to hunt down love internationally.
Absolutely, get a passport.
I've only got a New Zealand passport.
It's lame. I'm only going a New Zealand passport. It's lame.
I'm going to live in Australia.
Awesome.
I want to go.
What if you went and you did and you hooked up with someone in Italy and you'd go there and you'd sit there and the whole family was talking about you
and you couldn't understand them?
That's quite paranoid.
Yeah, that is a bit paranoid.
I just know it's exactly what I would do.
If someone was at the dinner table in years to come, if my daughters have a partner and they don't speak any English and they someone was at the dinner table, or like, you know, in years to come,
if my daughters have a partner
and they don't speak any English
and they're sitting at the dinner table,
I'm talking about that person right in front of their face.
Yeah.
It's a power play.
You can kind of feel it though.
Yeah, you can feel it.
They'll be able to feel it,
and they'll know because I keep pointing at them.
I can feel it when a small Thai woman has my foot in her hand,
that she's not loving my foot.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
And she's talking to the other small Thai woman about this giant hoof. And you're like, she's not loving my foot. Yeah. You know. Yeah. And she's talking to the other small Thai woman
about this giant hoof.
And you're like,
she's digging on my feet.
Yeah.
Just use Google Translate.
If you had a relationship,
you just put it on
and be like,
leave it sitting there.
Your mum just called me
a wench.
Yeah.
Or this lady on my feet said,
I've never seen feet
this big on a woman ever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh. Man, man, man. Must be a man. I thought it was big on a woman ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Man, man, man.
Must be a man.
I thought it was a woman.
It's a man, man, man.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day the first ever scheduled commercial airplane flight and its pilot.
Okay.
Because it's pilot week.
It's pilot week.
We're learning about pilots.
So the first ever commercial pilot.
This was a man that had a paying passenger.
Yep.
For an organized flight.
What year do you think it happened?
Oh, I don't know.
50s.
Interesting.
I was going to say earlier.
Oh, yeah, earlier.
Because they did have planes.
Yeah.
40s.
19. 20s. 14. 14. Yeah, man. 40s. 1920s.
14.
Oh, you're 14?
You were right.
On the 1st of January, you were right.
Just seconds after, just in the shadow of my telling you.
No, no, no, you're my shadow.
Oh, I shadowed you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Play the audio back.
We don't have time.
We're short on time.
1st of January 1914,
Tony Janis flew a Benoist 14 biplane to which I was like,
I wonder what that looks like.
Sticks?
Does it look like sticks?
Dude, it looks like sticks.
Dude, they look like sticks.
It looks like your washing line on Sheets Day.
Oh, God.
You know those people that build their own plane
in their garage and then it never ends well.
And they throw it off a cliff for Red Bull or something and you're like, oh no.
This looks worse.
This looks like one of Dick Dastardly's wacky races.
Oh yeah.
Trying to stop the pigeon.
Does it even have room for a passenger?
Yes, he sat behind him.
Early plane days.
Okay.
It was a two-person plane.
It had floats on the end of the wings.
Right.
But look, if you're imagining something that even resembles a modern aeroplane
It's not
Okay
So he flew for 23 minutes from St. Petersburg in Florida
Not St. Petersburg in Russia
St. Petersburg to Tampa in Florida
It was a 23 minute long flight
And he took a paying passenger
And thus he became the first ever commercial pilot
Huh
Wow
Paid to transport a passenger.
Do you reckon he was nervous?
Do you know what I mean?
Like he would have flown the plane on his own.
Maybe he wasn't nervous because he didn't know
that his plane looked like a washing line.
Like at the time, that was what he had.
That's what a plane was.
That's what planes were.
He hasn't seen a modern plane.
I don't know if I'd pay to go on that, to be honest.
Neither.
I think it would have been a gimmick for the rich people.
I'd give it a bit more room, a bit more time, a bit more testing.
Yeah, to skip the traffic.
But then I'm thinking in 1914 there probably wasn't a ton of traffic either.
No.
Tony, uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
What happened?
Well, Tony died two years after that.
In a plane crash?
Tony died on October the 12th, 1916, near Sevastopol, then part of Russia,
when his plane, a Curtis H-7, which I'm guessing looked a lot like a washing line with sheets on it as well.
Well, a little bit more of a plane.
There's some wood involved.
He was using to train Russian pilots, had engine problems and crashed into the Black Sea,
killing him and his
two-man Russian crew.
His body
never recovered.
Wow.
Okay.
Spooky.
Never recovered.
So today's fact of the day
is the first ever
commercial pilot
was a guy named Tony
who flew his first passenger
on the 1st of January 1914
and later died
in a plane crash.
Fact of the day, day,
day, day, day.
Yeah.
A woman has shared on TikTok that
women who go on dates
and may perhaps end up going home with the
gentleman
that they should be stealing
their basketball shorts
their slouchy, comfortable
slinky basketball shorts
As opposed to stealing
boyfriend hoodies
As opposed to the hoodie,
the hoodie's too obvious.
Right.
Because she was like,
women,
are you aware of how comfortable
these are?
They're slinky,
they're stretchy,
they're light.
Look how I can move like this.
I don't think we should be
stealing things from people's houses.
Look,
I'm not encouraging stealing.
This is her encouraging this
and she said she's like,
she,
through her casual dating hookups,
Right.
has stolen quite a few pairs.
And has garnered herself.
It blows my mind that people would do this because it's a thing.
It is a thing.
You've even had it happen to you.
Yeah, I had a one-night liaison with a gentleman.
This is going back.
Oh, way back.
Early, early uni days.
And I woke up the next morning and was surprised to find that not only had he left, but my iPod was gone.
I had a 120 gig iPod that had, honestly, the best playlist on it.
Yeah.
And who else?
I lived on my own.
iPod's gone.
You do lose a lot of things.
Did he maybe think it was his iPod?
No, but I had one of those massive old 90s
speaker sound systems and an aux cord
and the iPod would always just sit on top.
Okay, so he took it.
Did you ever message him to be like
what's up with that?
Now this is, I don't know if this paints a picture
but I do not believe we exchanged numbers.
Okay, I was going to say do you know his
name? Oh, so there was no traceable
anything. I know his name. No, I knew
his name, but look, I was, you know,
fun and flirty and
single and ready to mingle. And I don't, we didn't,
you know, it was a win off. Anyway.
So you had to buy a new iPod? I had to get a new
iPod. I didn't have insurance or anything. I was like
20. Yeah.
So I have been stolen from.
Anyone else produces?
Have they stolen anything?
Oh, Shannon's got a guilty look on her face.
Yeah, I saw that.
Yeah, I'm not proud of it.
But it wasn't anything too major.
But as I was leaving one morning,
I saw one of those plastic kind of yard glasses.
You know, they go thin in the middle and then light at the end.
Bulbous at the bottom.
Yeah, and I was like, that seems like a bit of me,
and I just took it.
Yoink.
What?
Why?
Well, I was going out that night,
and I was like, that'll be fun.
It was like a bright colour.
I think it was glittery or something.
It was cool.
Full moon party.
Kind of like a hen's night.
Refillable.
Yeah, right.
And I was like, it would have been a couple bucks.
He can part with that.
Yoink.
Yoink.
Stolen.
Wild.
I don't think I've stolen anything.
But I think perhaps we should take some calls.
And again, we're not here to judge.
We're not here to dob you into the po-po.
Did you ever go on a date and steal something?
Maybe just a token.
Or have you had someone that you hooked up with steal something from your house?
Now, if you call up, as producer Jared suggested this morning,
and say, her heart, you shall be quickly hung up on.
I'll vomit in the studio rubbish bin.
Yeah, and I don't want to have to clean that up.
Have you stolen something from a date?
What if they literally organ harvested them?
Would we take that call to pass on the information to the police?
Yeah, we will accept that call.
I stole her heart, kidneys, liver.
Any vital organ.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
We can call anonymously.
Yeah.
We'll trick you.
Okay, 0800 dials at M as a number.
You can text through 9696.
I'll also say if you have been stolen from, we'll accept your calls.
Have you stolen anything from a date? I want to know
if you've stolen something from a date or
had a date steal something from you
because there's a woman on TikTok who says
you've got to steal your date's basketball
shorts. And she's got
quite the collection going.
Can we do a gender, what's the gender split
on the text messages in?
You know what? Pretty even. Really?
Okay, pretty even. I was wondering because we'd have a few guys calling
and I wondered if it's...
Who have been thieved or who thieved?
Who have been thieved from.
Yeah, we do.
We get...
It's quite even.
Good to know.
David, what did a one-night stand steal from you?
Oh, g'day, team.
Like, in all fairness,
I was kind of pinching myself
because I'm like in my late 30s
and she was like 22.
That's hot, man.
Right.
I was staying in a hotel suite for work
and I had like literally
all of my stuff on the table
and it just occurred to me,
I was like,
please don't steal from me.
Oh, yeah. She was like, no, of course not.
Of course not.
Well, you put it in her head.
Yeah, who do you plant that seed for?
Please don't steal from me.
I mean, this is also what hotel safes are for, but yes.
All of my sleeping pills and all of my lorazepam were gone.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, look.
I mean, look.
If I saw a little pot of lorazepam.
I might have a lorazepam for the road if you know, I mean, look. I mean, look. If I saw a little pot of little Oresi, yeah.
I might have a little Oresi for the road if you know what I mean.
David, thank you.
Bill, what was stolen?
Oh, sorry, it's actually Phil.
Oh, Phil.
Phil Dunphy.
Yeah.
Easily done.
So Phil, like Phil Dunphy, not Bill, like Bill Cosby.
He could have actually said another Bill. Ideally, let's go with Bill Clinton. Like Bill Clinton, not Bill, like Bill Cosby. He could have actually said any other Bill.
Ideally, let's go with out.
Like Bill Clinton.
Yeah, you're right.
Oh, no, that is a problem.
Is he great either?
No, not great.
This is a friend of yours.
Yeah, so this is a while back, probably 15 or so years ago,
a flatmate of mine, and we'd all gone out.
He disappeared at the end of the night and went home with some girl.
He shows back up in the morning, maybe 6, 7 o'clock
and he's got a Mac.
And 15 years ago, Mac,
this is an iMac, so can you remember
the big coloured bubble?
Oh, look at the bubble one!
I hate to age this,
Bill, but you're talking more 20 years ago than
15, my friend, with those old bubble Macs.
It was a bubble Mac.
Keyboard, mouse, the whole shebang. It was a bubble mac, keyboard, mouse,
the whole shebang.
And he just showed up in the morning.
And what colour was it?
Because they were some funky colours.
I cannot remember.
Potentially blue, I think, from memory.
It's that long ago.
I can't remember how the story... I remember he
sobered up and he was just like, what the hell
have I done? And I think we spent the next week working out
how we were going to try and sneak the stuff back
because he sort of knew the girl.
Like, it wasn't just...
She was a complete random.
What in your drunken...
And his drunken brain was like, oh, take that.
I mean, everybody wanted them.
Everybody wanted them.
Oh, we did have one.
They were so cool.
They were like the first time a desktop,
a home PC computer was cool.
It looked cool. It looked cool.
It looked cool.
Very much.
Did you get it back in the end?
I think we did.
From memory, I can't remember it staying in the flat,
so I'm pretty sure he must have managed to sneak it back.
What a rascal.
The whole period of time is hazy, eh?
Thank you, Bill.
Sorry, Phil.
Sky, you stole from a hookup place.
I stole his car.
And you've just said your name on here, haven't you?
Was it a skyline where you're like, come on, it's my name, I need the car?
No, I don't even remember what it was, but because he picked me up from my hometown,
and we went back to his hometown.
He lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah.
And I, so it was like three o'clock, 4 o'clock in the morning,
and I was ready to go home.
But it was quite like a few years ago,
and I only had a button phone, and it didn't have a GPS on it.
So I didn't know how to get home.
Where am I?
So I stole his car.
I kind of had to take it back.
Right.
So you went home, went to sleep, and then in the morning,
you're like, I better take his car back.
No, I didn't make it home because I didn't know how to get home.
I had to go back to his house.
So you set off on this journey.
Yeah.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, you set off on a journey,
not knowing how to get home, and ended up just being like,
I've got to go back to his house.
Yeah, I've got to go back.
And because he was like, he was quite, he was passed out.
He was pretty drunk. Yeah, right. So I just took his keys and I was like, hey, I'll got to go back and because he was like, he was passed out. He was pretty drunk.
I just took his keys and I was like,
okay, I'll just return this in the morning.
But I live like a whole hour away. I didn't
know how to get home. So you were just cruising the streets
like, where am I?
Oh, wow. I was just driving around and
there was only cows. There was only cows
around. I couldn't ask a bloody cow where to go.
Do you know how to navigate by a cow?
No. Oh, you've got to look
at the butt in relation to the ear.
They always stand north to south.
Yeah, they always stand north to south.
My worry would be that you've
gone to look for your house. How'd you
get back to his house?
Because I remembered where I went. I just drove down
this very, very long street and then realised
I don't know where I'm going.
I turned around and went back.
But there is a plot twist
because 14 years later, we're married
with two kids.
Oh!
Wow!
See, you literally couldn't leave
because you didn't know where you were.
Yeah, I didn't know where I was.
And then 14 years later, still don't know how to get back to my house.
I've got to say, call her on the way.
Call her on the way.
Great story, Skye.
We've got a $50 McCafe voucher for you, thanks to our friends at McCafe.
Well done.
So many messages and texts coming through.
We want to know if you've stolen something from a date
or had a date steal something from you.
And I tell you what, a bunch of thieves.
A bunch of thieves out there.
Some wild stories coming through.
Anonymous joins us.
Anonymous, was this you that stole?
Yeah, yeah.
Not my proudest moment.
Guilty, eh?
Did you hear the guilt in your voice?
Yeah, yeah.
No, you're right.
What did you steal?
I had a beautiful one-night relationship.
It was over so soon.
Yeah, on the way out,
please bear in mind that this was the year 2000.
Yeah.
I stole a Ben Harper Burn to Shine CD.
Great album.
If we might stop for a moment.
Great album.
Did you have anything to listen,
like were you walking home the next morning?
Did you have a disc min? Yeah, were you walking home the next morning? Did you have a discman?
Yeah, if you know Tauranga, you'll know that the mount is a very long way from Te Puna.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my, dude.
You've got to walk through Tauranga to get there.
Yeah, you do.
You've got to go a really long way.
But luckily, and don't ask me why, I had my, again, bear in mind it was 2000.
I don't know why, but I had my discman with me.
I always had mine
all the time.
Yeah.
Did you have a,
did you have an anti-shock
10 second anti-skip function?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course I did.
You always got to pay the extra.
Always worth the extra money there.
Yeah.
So you didn't have anything
to listen to,
so you thought,
oh, Ben Harper's a bit of me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it was
he was all the rage
wasn't he
Jack Johnson
around that time
yeah good album
a little bit before
Jack Johnson's time

real sick

Anonymous, thank you for your call

I stole a Virgin Mary statue when I was blind
From a guy's house whose party I'd crashed
Can you imagine going to a house party
And the hosts have a Virgin Mary statue?
Yeah
Oh gosh
I woke up with several photos of myself and Mary
Journeying home that night
Mary at the wheel of the taxi
Mary walking me through the streets.
And finally, me and Mary snuggling in bed.
I had to very sheepishly drop Mary back home to that guy's house a few days later with a bar of chocolate.
To say I'm so, so sorry.
A bar of chocolate to say sorry.
Not a box.
Just one.
Interesting.
Just one bar of chocolate.
That's not a bar of chocolate.
Isn't a gift.
Apology.
It's not an apology gift.
It's one of the gifts.
A box of roses is an apology. You've got to get a an apology gift. A box of roses is an apology.
You've got to get a box of chocolates.
A box of roses.
Yeah.
Favorites, roses, whatever.
Continental.
To say sorry or congratulations.
A bag of Lindt balls.
Oh, Lindt balls.
A bar to me is not a...
What if it's a king-sized bar of caramello?
I mean, don't get me wrong.
As close to an apology as you're going to get.
It's not good enough.
It's not an apology thing.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Good to know if I ever need to apologise to either of you
that a bar of chocolate shan't suffice.
I had a Tinder hookup steal my pizza
while I was engaging in the post-coital shower.
Three pigs for a lift.
They're bloody scarpered.
God.
There's a lot here.
Stole their garage remote?
Yeah.
So I could drive past every now and then
and just open their garage door to be unpleasant.
That's so awful.
So bad. I was 35
living in Sydney. I had a quick
lay down with a super hot 21 year old
model. I stole his
student ID as a trophy of sorts.
How's he supposed to get his
discounts for that?
How's he supposed to get his student fry discount?
Look at this guy. He's pretty hot at 21.
That's me.
So many people
stealing things.
I had a one night stand,
woke up in the morning,
he'd taken my flatmate's
Domino's pizzas
from the night before
and a couple of packets
of biscuits from the cupboard.
Oh my God,
well you're hungry
in the morning though,
you are hungry in the morning.
Yeah,
I used to steal lighters
from guys I was seeing.
I had a drawer,
I'd just literally get home,
open the drawer
and chuck the lighters in. I had quite the collection had a drawer. I'd just literally get home, open the drawer, and chuck the lighters in.
I had quite the collection going.
Wow.
My friends and I were on a girls' weekend and went back to some guy's place
and stole a big dinosaur toy he had,
which is now our mascot that we take on every girls' weekend.
Look, I'm sure from what I'm drawing from that conversation,
he was happy to make the exchange.
Yeah.
Would you forego your childhood toy?
No.
To have a...
Absolutely not. My ma is like, it can happen, but I'm taking that koala. I'm your childhood toy? No. To have a... Absolutely not.
Mama is like, it can happen, but I'm taking that koala.
I'm taking koala.
No.
Really?
Yeah, and that's hard for me.
That's hard for me.
Whatever.
I don't know either.
Oh, hang on.
Mama wearing a New Zealand police top.
And his arms are like...
And his arms are tearing through the police top.
Yeah, and he also brings with him a young boyish looking girl.
Oh, I've got a lesbian's there as well.
A lesbian's there.
Bye, Kweli, bye.
Shivers, guys.

Or who was that?
Which one?
