Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. How do you feel about the fact that it's Wednesday? Because you screwed up. I thought it was Wednesday yesterday. I thought it was Tuesday today. So you have gained you're quicker

and you're slower. I feel Wednesday. You actually feel Wednesday? I feel Wednesday. Okay, good. Yeah. Great start to my morning this morning. We won't go into it, but I had to text the boys running a little bit late. You're preparing for your colonoscopy? Colonoscopy tomorrow.

No food today. Had a great brekkie so far. That's a horror. You did have breakfast. Jelly for breakfast. Had some green jelly and a Bundaberg. A Bundaberg gin. No, a Bundaberg... Ginger beeraberg gin. No, a Bundaberg...

Ginger beer. Ginger beer. No, a ginger beer. That's what I meant to say. Gin? Yeah. I did not start with that. You just said the one of three syllables involved.

Gin. And changed it dramatically. Gin. Ginger beer. Yeah. Yeah. Top stuff. Almost a tradie breakfast, that.

Almost. Let's chuck a pie in there. Dismissing a pie. Some jelly for dessert. I feel like when after the colonoscopy tomorrow, when I wake up, a pie would be nice. Yeah, nice, nice. Pie would be nice. Coming up on the show, the top six, Vaughan.

Yeah, the top six names for Machine Gun Kelly's baby using the equation well-known weapon word plus popular female name from the 80s algorithm. Brilliant. Machine gun, Kelly. Yes.

It's a simple formula. We'll give you the top six. Because he's having a baby with Megan Fox. Yeah, Megan Fox. Yeah. Yeah. I thought her name was Kelly Fox. No, he's machine gun Kelly. She's Megan Fox.

What's his real name? I honestly don't answer it. I don't care. Misrealized. Just ask the question? I honestly don't answer it. I don't care. Misrealized. Just ask the question and then realize it doesn't actually matter. It doesn't matter. So when you find out rappers' real names. Oh, yeah.

It's not as good. It's never as good when you find out. Colson Baker. Actually a good name. Colston. Colson. Colson. Like Coleslaw.

Like close. Close to Coleslaw. Yeah, Coleslaw Baker. The son of Coleslaw. That's actually a cool name. Why did he choose? Colson Baker. That's a cool name. That's a really cool name. It's a cowboy's name. My name's Coleslaw. Yeah, Coleslaw Baker. The son of Coleslaw. That's actually a cool name. Why did he choose? Coleslaw Baker. That's a cool name.

That's a really cool name. It's a cowboy's name. My name's Coleslaw Baker. Yeah. I'm here to make some music for y'all. Much better. Yeah. Shit, he's a tall prick.

I don't know why he's a prick. Jesus, he's crammed up in sweaters. What, me in 92? He's what? Six foot four? Yeah, right. Six foot five? Okay. No, string bean. Not for Yeah, right. Six foot five? Okay.

No, string bean. Not for you, mate. You're like a bit of... Meat. A bit of meat. A bit of meat on my bones. A bit of meat on my men. Coming up on the show next...

That's right, next. A sleep formula that people are saying is a game changer. Now, I don't know why I'm presenting this having four hours sleep. Hardly a sleep expert. Would you like me to present it having eight and a half hours sleep last night? Yeah, you do. That's a gorgeous amount of sleep. Oh, how deep on you and your sleep.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. So this is exactly what you need to hear if you're running on very little sleep, you're feeling a bit rough this morning, and some a-hole on the radio is telling you how to get a bit of sleep. Yeah, and despite the fact that he got up at 4.30, he's had eight and a half because he went to sleep at 8 o'clock. Do you know what? When did I start prioritising sleep?

Oh, over a year ago. A year and a bit ago. It is. It's life-changing. Oh, completely. And this 10-3-2-1-0 trend that's going viral is kind of what I do. It's kind of along the same lines. Yeah.

Ten. So I'll explain how it works. Ten hours before bed, no caffeine. Because they're saying... What? When would you have your last coffee, Warren? Three in the afternoon. Why?

See, that's too late. Because it's young. Oh, no. I'd have mine 11, 12 at the latest. Really? Yeah. What do you drink in the afternoon. Why? See, that's too late. Because it's young. Oh, no. I'd have mine 11, 12 at the latest. Really? Yeah. What do you drink in the afternoon? Maybe have a green tea caffeine free.

Or water. I hate that sentence. Grow up and stop being a little bitch. I want to be on board because you're literally in the best shape ever, but green tea caffeine free. Yeah. Doesn't your mum still have a coffee right before bed? That's wild to me.

It's a South African thing as well. I remember talking about, my mum will do this and then complain about not having a good sleep. And then it was when we were doing Have You Been Paying Attention and Ursula Carlson was like, oh, this is a South African thing. Oh, really? A coffee right before bed. That's insane. No wonder they're so

ready to go. Well, they do say that within 45 minutes of having a coffee, 99% of the caffeine is absorbed, but it's the other percent of caffeine that can take anywhere from one and a half to 10 hours. Yeah. And so that'll be in your system. Okay, so if you were a normal person maybe operating on normal hours, well, even if you're up this morning then, you're an early riser.

Yeah. What's that, working backwards? If you wanted to have a good eight hours sleep, then we're going to bed at 10, so 12, midday. Even if you go to bed at 10 o'clock at night from midday on, no coffee. Yeah. See, I might have a coffee at lunchtime at the latest. Yeah.

11, 10.30 might be my last one for the day. Gotta go decaf, babe. Gotta go decaf. So that's the 10 and the 10, 3, 2, 1, 0 for a bit of sleep. Okay, what's the three? The others better be more achievable. You're not going to like this either. You two are both not going to like this.

Three hours before bed, no booze, no food. It's late dinners. It's a couple of wines. There is nothing as lovely as sitting in bed and having a whiskey. What? In bed? I don't do it very often,

but every now and then I'll be like, generally more of a weekend thing. In moderation. You have a shower, you're going to jump into bed and watch a movie, and you're like, yeah, I'm going to have a whiskey in bed.

I always go, I'm lying down, and I do that thing where you lie down and you try to sip things and you go, and it just goes around the side of your mouth a little bit. Okay, well, no, Vaughan, that's not good. Okay, so no booze, no food. Also, it's a lot of the sugars as well, if you're snacking and having high-sugar desserts. Two, two hours before bed, power down from work activities.

That's all right. I power down from work activities. That's all right. I power down from work activities. I'm actually doing that 10 hours before I go to sleep. I was on stage last night still at 10 p.m., so that's probably not powering down from work activities. The one, one hour before bed, power down your devices. Your devices, yeah. Yep, the screens.

Not all your devices. Some devices help for a good night's sleep, if you know what I mean. Well, devices with lights on them. Yeah, not all your devices. Some devices help for a good night's sleep, if you know what I mean. Well, devices with lights on them. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, yeah. I might watch Netflix or whatever and then I guess just before bed, maybe 45 or an hour, half an hour before, it's, yeah,

no lights. You turn it off. And then zero, zero hits on the snooze button. Oh my god, aye. It's just, get up when the alarm goes off. I do fan snoozers. And this is the thing, I snooze from. Oh my god. Just get up when the alarm goes off. I do fan snoozes. And this is the thing, I snooze from about quarter past four to half past. So you could just sleep. Just set the first

alarm before thirty and then get up hard. That's what I do, just get up and you've slept that whole time. So that is the 10-3-2-1-0 for better sleep. So ten, no caffeine. Three, no food, no booze. Two, power down your devices. No work. One, your caffeine. Three, no food, no booze. Two, power down your devices. No work.

Oh, no work. One, your devices. Zero hits on the snows. Yeah. Yeah. And how much sleep did you have last night? I think three hours 45. Okay, and how are you feeling?

Super duper. Not great. I will grab some more soon. This breaketh my heart. There was a couple, they've been together for nine years, they were engaged, they planned a wedding. It was masquerade themed. Oh, masquerade.

No. Yeah, look, it's not for everyone, but it was masquerade themed. They had... They called it a small ceremony, 75 guests, which I guess in these days you'd still call a small wedding. How many at yours, Vorni? Oh, like 100, I think.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a medium. It's still getting up there. Yep, 75 guests all invited. The venue paid for, catering paid for. All the decorations were up. Guests were told to be there at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, early for a wedding. You know what I mean?

I'm not making it through the night at that point. I'm tired. That's what they want. That's what they want. And then like an early reception and then everyone go home. Yeah, it works. Oh, that sounds gorgeous. It's stunning. I should be there at 11.

Gorgeous. Yeah, let's get us out of the way. Have a light lunch. Let's have an afternoon barbecue thing. Spend the afternoon. Yeah. A barbecue out the door by 6'd be there at 11. Gorgeous. Yeah, let's get this out of the way. Have a light lunch. Let's have an afternoon barbecue thing. Spend the afternoon. A barbecue out the door by 6. And home at 6. Make up off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. Okay. Well, if we were planning our wedding, that's how we'd do it. But 1pm, the guests were to be there. At 1.15, the bride's mother had to text the bride and say, bit of an issue with the guests. Okay.

45 minutes later, the bride and groom come out into the reception space, into the, you know, the ceremony space, to find that five of the 75 guests had shown up. Five. I know. Now, and I looked at this. Wait, had they done an RSVP?

She said despite the RSVPs. People have turned up. Okay, you don't RSVP to She said despite the RSVPs. People haven't turned up. Okay, you don't RSVP to a wedding and not turn up without telling them. Just to show you, like, it's a big venue. Like, that's kind of maybe a converted barn type thing. There's fairy lights. This is the bride and groom arriving, walking down an aisle to five people, one of whom was their son.

So we'll say it's four. We'll say it's four. We'll say it's four. Wait, and surely that's both their parents If they're alive right? Yeah mum's there So apparently they still can't get to the bottom of it She was like I don't know what happened

I had all these RSVPs from friends Has she asked them? She's like why should I have to? No one texted her to say we're sorry we didn't go No let's put it online instead Yeah I know. Well, this is what I thought. I was like, maybe this is just, you know, a bit of attention seeking.

But it's genuine, like genuinely they were so disappointed. She said she still has friends that haven't even messaged to congratulate or say why they didn't come. Makes her feeling sick. Can't wrap her head around it. Dude, I haven't watched the videos, but is she, do you get the feeling she's a punish? Yeah. I haven't watched the videos, but is she, do you get the feeling she's a punish? Um, yeah. I mean, the masquerade theme itself feels a little bit of a punish.

Is that her there? Yeah. Now, some kids have joined. So, yeah, that's, I mean, a punish in terms of, I don't know. I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be nice I'm trying to be kind Yeah Yeah

So she shared this online Saying like Well here's my big day And it was a bit of a disappointment And actually a lot of people Have messaged being like You're not alone We had the same thing

Maybe not to the same degree But being like We had a What we thought was An intimate ceremony Yeah And I think that Saying that it was intimate

Gave people license to be like Oh it's not a big deal I won't go. And then they went alone, you know, so they had lots of people not showing up to their weddings. But then, I mean, that's RSVP. That's it. That's why you should only be inviting your closest, nearest and dearest, right?

That's what I wonder. If she didn't really have a lot of close friends, maybe they were just mates and she'd invited them. I would have just done friends and family if I had the kind of friends that weren't going to show up to my wedding. But also like, why not? I'm looking I had the kind of friends that weren't going to show up to my wedding. But also like, I'm looking forward to the expose of this story. Yeah.

We weren't actually, and we know them quite well, we weren't even actually invited. Yeah. It turns out she just did it all for TikTok. Yeah, maybe. Well, yeah, that's the first thing I asked you is this just a TikTok stunt.

I know, and I was trying to look at it being like, is it? But it feels legit. And then she was like, well, this little group of people is all I need anyway. Is it because people get scared or they're afraid to say no to an RSVP? Like a month or two out? I'd just blow it up.

Just say no if you're not. I can't make it. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't have all the information in terms of maybe it was like out of town. You know, a lot of people are like, oh, God, I actually can't. I didn't book flights. I didn't book accommodation.

Had to travel. I just Googled no. I didn't book accommodation. Had to travel. I just Googled no one turned up to wedding Reddit to see if anybody had talked about this on Reddit. Granted, no. But there's so many posts on Reddit worried no one's coming to our wedding. No one showed up to my wedding. Has anybody asked paranoid that no one will come to your wedding? We're very worried as we get closer to the day that no one's going to come to our wedding. Oh, I think you need to find better friends.

I would never have this doubt in my mind. No, yes. Someone on the subreddit wedding planning eight years ago said my number one fear came true. Hardly anyone showed up to our wedding. And this was one of the comments she made was like, you know, it's one thing not to be there emotionally, but they'd paid for this big venue,

all the chairs and tables, all the catering and stuff, and it all just kind of goes to waste. Whoa, that's horrible. Anyway, if you're listening and you're planning a wedding, I don't want to put the fear in you, but just make sure you've invited the right people. Somebody messaged in, and this is a good point, did they goof up the date or something on the wedding invitation? Doesn't say. Like, was there a goof?

Or did they pick a date that was like, I don't know, a holiday weekend when everyone was going to be with their families or... No, this was literally a few days ago. Okay, crazy. Yeah. Fresh Facts 24 is an annual report from United Fresh which outlines growing produce in New Zealand, how much we spend on that.

And potatoes is the real headline grabber. Good. Okay, right. Chips, hot chips, potato chips, potato hash. I'm just not a big potatoes gal. Who's not? I've seen you eat some fries. Oh, yeah, I love fries.

I've seen you eat fries. I love fries. I love a hash, but I wouldn't. I'm not every night for dinner having them. I won't like roast. If I do a roast with roast veggies, I don't really ever put potato in it. Wow. Unless it's like Christmas.

What do you put in there? Kumara. Right. Pumpkin. And potato. No. As soon as you're doing yourself out of a delicious treat by not including both. I know.

See, they're a bit boring for me. Yeah, I'd go Kumara same. You're doing yourself out of a delicious treat by not including both. I know. I just think they're a bit boring for me. Yeah, I'd go kumina. Kumina's got the spice, you know. Oh. Got a bit of something, something. Get a grip. I've always been like this, though. My brother was potatoes, I was kumina. Right. I love them both, but mad potatoes. Wow, okay. I reckon the Smith household

would be a good chunk of this. Well, we, I've, for the last few years, been growing my own potatoes. Oh. New potatoes? You literally, yeah, literally walk out to, I, for the last few years, have been growing my own potatoes. Oh. New potatoes? You literally, yeah, literally walk out to the garden, put the fork in, rummage up some potatoes,

walk inside, wash them, boil them. They're not shoestring fries, Vaughn. Yeah, it's a process to get them to shoestring. Dipping sauce. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Oh, the Smiths don't shy away from chips with dipping sauces either. Right.

But the, so the annual potato production decreased by 72,000 tonnes, which is a lot. So in 2019, it dropped. The 19-20 season to the 23-24 season, yeah, it dropped that 72,000 tonnes. What, did we not eat as many chips? Or were we getting chips from overseas? I think we must be filling the gap.

Post-COVID. I haven't backed off the potato in that time. Well, because do you remember the COVID, there was an influx of foreign fries. Belgian potato. That's right. Yeah, and there was a little bit of a... It was big chip news.

Big chip news. By local. Yeah. Yeah. So if that's a lot of potatoes we're eating, well, no, that's how much it went down. Right. We ate a billion dollars of potatoes.

Billion dollars. A one billion dollars of potatoes last year, mostly in the form of chips or frozen fries. Meaning that we as a people spent a billion dollars on potato-based products. Yeah. Oh, my God. I would have thought. That's madness.

I would have thought that chips would have been on par with potatoes in potato form. What, like potatoes in potato form? No, you think about how often you'd have chips. Yeah, it's a sign of. Every pub meal, every takeaway, fish and chips. Snack chingies. Oh, well, you include crisps. It includes that.

Yeah, well, that's the. The best chips. Hot chips and the chip chips and the frozen fries. Yum. I wonder where the instant mash stuff falls into. Because that's... I don't think I've ever had it. I had it hiking a few weeks ago.

It was pretty young. Was it good? Yeah, it was gravy. It was like, oh, my God, this is heaven. And, of course, you shared your hack, Vaughan, of thickening a stew with powdered mashed potatoes. I was talking to someone at one of the huts, and their hiking hack was to mix an onion soup with a mash.

And then the water. And then the water. Flavour the mash. And so you could do that with just straight up mashed tates. Because we always go butter and garlic. Sometimes a bit of cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not scared. I'm not scared of cheese. Yeah, but put in a soup mix. Yeah. always go butter and garlic. Sometimes a bit of cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not scared.

I'm not scared of cheese. Yeah, but put in a soup mix. Yeah. That's a great idea. You could put in any soup mix. Yeah. Dry soup mix. You wouldn't go a tomato.

That's the same with making the kiwi onion dip for chips. You can actually put in any soup mix. We were living in a flat once where we tried to make our way through all of the soup sachets. And there was like a shrimp or a seafood. What were you doing? And it was actually really yum. What were you doing? 30 days of Maggi soup sachets.

Jesus Christ. Times were tough in that flat, weren't they? So there's, I'm just looking at the Maggi soup packets. So you've got your onion, your French onion. You've got a creamy mushroom, rich tomato, creme of chicken. See, I meant chicken and mashed potatoes. That just sounds like chicken sauce. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which goes slapping

with tates. Hearty oxtail. That would be rich. That would be good. That would be like potato and gravy. Yeah. See? Yum! And it all comes back to potato, doesn't it? Yeah, it's all potato adjacent. All roads lead to potato. All roads lead to potato.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Well, fantastic news. You love to hear about a baby. You love to hear a little baby. You love to hear a little baby.

Country influence. Yeah, country influence, rock and roll, bonjour the S. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love it. Yeah, that is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Okay, this is all over the internet at the moment. It's called the 4B movement.

It is a type of radical feminism out of South Korea that started back in the 2010s. Now, this is, it's called the 4B movement because the B stands for buy home or something like that. But it's called the 4B. Is it a Korean word? It's a Korean word. Okay.

But the fours stand for four no's no marriage no relationship no sex and no babies with men okay

so it's basically a complete boycott on men and this started in the 2010s out of like many things the Me Too movement

a lot of very conservative opinions in Korea at the time. People went online and said, it's a movement, radical feminism. Since Trump has been elected, there is an insane peak of Google searches from the United States into this 4B movement to be like, right, we're joining this.

Because I just Googled 4B movement and it was all recent stories. Yeah, because it's basically it's a responsive movement towards poor male behavior, basically. And that's why people are going with Trump and all of his terrible backwards abortion laws and everything that he's been kind of threatening to do in terms of women. People are like, right, let's do a full boycott. And men are like, well, we don't need to be boycotted. But they're like, no, the four Bs. It's a complete, we don't need you.

Right. I think we're going to see a real rise in lesbians here. Which is great news for lesbians. It does sound like more lesbians coming on the market. It does sound like a big lesbian marketing push. Do you think this is from the lesbian marketing sector? It's a recruitment drive by the lesbians. Right.

So in boycotting me because of... First they came for our utes. We said nothing. Then they came for our comfy slacks. You said nothing. We said nothing. Well, apparently this is still like ever since 2010 when this launched, not launched, but started in South Korea, it's actually been huge.

Because South Korea is, like, quite... Is it quite conservative? Well, no, I wouldn't say that's conservative. I'd say that they kind of revolt against conservative things. That's why they're separate of themselves. Would you be able to do this? No. I love men.

And men love you. I don't love all men,. I love men. And men love you. I don't love all men, but I love men. Carwin's laughing at me. I do. I love men. They're all right. Do the gays, can the gays, the gays wouldn't sign up, would they? The gays can't say no.

What, to know relationships, marriage, babies? Sex or babies. I don't think they're counted. I don't think they're counted. They're not counted. Huge news for lesbians and gays. Because straight men will only last so long. Yeah, before.

They have to also jump ship and be like, well, the women are all for being us. The prison paradigm. Have you girlies heard of this movement before? Yeah, it's all over TikTok and I really get it for the American girls, you know? Yeah. Personally here, I'm lucky I've got a man who respects me,

but if I didn't, yeah, no, he's not getting any. Yeah, 100%. Do you know, it's also like the South Korean version of this. It's a full, like, cut your hair off, dress androgynously, like, doing nothing to get the attention of men. Yeah. Oh, wow.

South Korea is also one of the countries with a birth rate that's below sustainability. Oh, yep. Okay. For population. And they've got an ageing population, like the same sort of thing Japan's facing. Yeah.

I was trying to explain this, the declining population issue to Aaron because he was like, I thought we had too many humans on the earth and we are destroying it. We do. Yeah. But there are some cultures in which that's going to be a problem because no one's going to look after the old people, right?

The Ryman. The Rymans are. Yeah, the Ryman. Who's running the Ryman? Who's going to pay for it? Well, not me. Because the whole idea, and especially in sort of Asia,

was that the older people get looked after by the next generation. But if there's not as many or they're not there. Yeah. And then in countries like New Zealand, the tax pays the super, the superannuation, which keeps the older people going. So if there's not enough people below working. Well, we're going to have to raise the working age until about 85. Yeah, 85 seems right.

It seems right. Yeah, because I think old people are lazy. Well, we need to hit retirement first. I am surrounded by beneficiaries now. My parents are both beneficiaries. That's meant they're life-bashing beneficiaries. They have become what they hated. And they didn't like you when you were a beneficiary.

They were always nagging you, weren't they? Yeah, get out of bed. Get a job. Get a job. How many times do you have to play with yourself a day? That sort of stuff. Play ZM's Flesh,

One and Hayley. Flesh, One and Hayley. Silly little pole. 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. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Shocking. Results in today's Silly Little Pole. Do you still own CDs and DVDs? I just opened it.

The results. I... Mind-blowing. Where are you putting them? Yeah, I made an effort years ago to get rid of my set because everything's streaming now. Totally. I think I've kept a couple of CDs that I've had since the 90s

and I loved them and I kept them just for nostalgia purposes. I just remembered I do have a box set of the Inbetweeners that they signed when they came out. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's more memorabilia. Yeah, that's in a box in storage. I've kept a couple of, like, legendary video games, which look like they came in the same size as DVDs.

So, like, wicked games that I've just spent so many hours playing. I'm like, I just love that game. I'll put it in a bag and put it in a cupboard. You've got to have a cupboard full of bags and boxes. They're all available for digital download and, like, back catalogue of PlayStation and stuff. Yeah, there's no point. Am I just holding onto shit for the point of holding onto shit?

Do you remember, like, moving flats and you'd have to, like, take boxes of CDs and stuff. Yeah, there's no point. Am I just holding onto shit for the point of holding onto shit? Do you remember like moving flats and you'd have to like take boxes of CDs and DVDs? It's like, it's painful. So you could display them on your bookshelf? Yeah. A DVD or...

Spit it out! The DVD or CD rack in your flat that you had in your room was a sort of a get to know me. You 100%! You go around to someone a sort of a get to know me. You 100%. You go around to someone's house, you get a little romantic.

You know, maybe I like this person. And then you look at their music collection and you'd be like, it's interesting. Or maybe I don't. Maybe I don't like this person. Maybe I don't like them. Maybe I don't.

Maybe it's not worth it. It's so strange thinking of DVDs. Like back before I met Aaron, people would come over and you'd pop on a DVD or they'd bring a DVD to your house. Or what about when you'd go to Thailand or Bali and you'd just come back with half a suitcase of, like, pirated, sharp quality movies on DVD?

Some poor guy just filming it in a cinema? Yeah. Coughing and things? You're coughing. Do you still own CDs and DVDs? 53% of people, a majority said yes. Really? 47% said no.

I don't even have anything to play a CD or a DVD on. Not even my car has a CD player. My old one did. Yeah, the PlayStation could. PlayStation 5, I've got one with a disc you can put in. Yeah, maybe. Otherwise, I don't have anything to play it on. No.

No. That's literally useless. Yeah. Our computers don't have that. I was going to say, the last two computers I've had haven't had a CD slot. Yeah. He's CDs. All right, some feedback on it.

Grumpy Lisa, welcome back. Welcome back, Grumpy Lisa. Oh, we've missed you. I don't have anywhere to play them, some feedback on it. Grumpy Lisa, welcome back. Welcome back, Grumpy Lisa. Oh, I've missed you. I don't have anywhere to play them, even if I did. She's on the same boat as us, even Grumpy Lisa. Let's chuck them out. No, even, she said, if I did. So she doesn't have them.

She doesn't. But she also doesn't have any about... When the robots destroy all the streaming surfaces, I'll be safe with something to watch. My box sets. It's a lot. Yeah, fair call. I mean, I guess if the internet goes down.

I reckon they'll kill the power grid too, though. Yeah, same. But she might have a portable DVD player. You can get those. Solar. Batteries and solar. Solar DVD and TV. Yeah.

Nicole said, I don't have anything to play them on, but I'm guilty of holding on to some CDs. A couple is okay. Get rid of them. Alicia said yes at the batch. Ooh. That's been nice. Sometimes we don't have Sky there.

Yeah, because there's no streaming and no TV reception, they said. No internet, no TV reception, so there's always something on a rainy day at the beach to watch. That's cool. I kind of like that the Airbnb that I stayed at over Labor Weekend has a little TV and a small selection of DVDs. Yeah, That's cool. I kind of like that the Airbnb that I stayed at over Labor Weekend has a little TV and a small selection of DVDs.

That's cool. Yeah, I do like that. Was one of them Passion of the Christ? You could always tell if Airbnb was owned by some religios. It was always

Passion of the Christ as a DVD. Oh, yeah. And everything was, there were no R-rated movies. Apart from Passion of the Christ. Yeah. Which is haunting. But God forbid there should be any titties Apart from Passion of the Christ. Which, haunting.

But God forbid there should be any titties. Yeah. No titties. No titties. Just Jesus' sacrifice. Lauren said, I simply can't let them go. It's just that my faves that I've kept now, don't always see them on streaming platforms,

so I can't get rid of them. They're staying put. Ah, get rid of them. Yeah. Dan said, I just donated the last of my CDs and DVDs. Who do? No one wants them. Sam's or St John's are like, oh.

No, but they still do. They've got a massive rack. Sally, St John's. Excuse me. St John's doesn't have a massive rack. A couple of the old girls. I was going to say medium. Medium racks.

But they've all got them still. Yeah. And every now and then you do see a CD and you're like, God, I feel like buying that. Funny. Your funny CD. Own them, God, I feel like buying that. Funny. Your funny CD. Own them, don't use them, said Will. So at this stage,

they're gathering dust in their memorabilia. Nikki said, in case of internet failure emergencies, I've got a couple of DVDs on hand. Okay. But where's your player? Can you even go to... Yeah, you can.

No leaving or whatever and get a... JB Hi-Fi, you can get a DVD. But DVD players now are tiny. God, ours was like... And then you had the DVD player on top and the Skybox on there. Yeah. We had it all. Did you?

Sky must have been rich. Yeah, it was. We had the TV. You could always put it on top because the TV had such a big arse. Yeah. No plasma TV in our house. No, no, big thick. Big thick. Big CR had such a big ass. Yep. No thick, no plasma TV in our house. No, no big thick.

Big thick. Big CRT. On a unit. Yeah. Did you, my parents had, and it must have been the last,

because my parents were like, oh no, we've still got stuff on VHS. What? And there was a DVD player and a VHS as one. As one,

yeah, I remember those. Bulky. Posh. Adam said, I love physical media. I have hundreds of DVDs. Not on any streaming services. Oh, look.

I can find it in my collection. It is weird on streaming services. There seems to be this grey area of not the classics. Yeah, it's called Pirate Bay. Oh, yeah, you can fill in that blank. Yeah. Fill in that blank. Sweet Home Alabama says Charlotte.

For some reason, I found that on DVD, and I remember watching it all the time. I've still got that blank. Yeah. Fill in that blank. Sweet Home Alabama says Charlotte. For some reason I found that on DVD and I remember watching it all the time. I've still got that DVD. Someone said Cash Converters still has heaps of DVDs. So people are taking their DVDs to Cashies. I reckon Cashies should call it on that. Yeah, I don't know. Because I reckon you should only be buying off people what you can sell on. I just don't think there's a huge DVD market.

Either that or they're still trying to get rid of them for the last 15 years they've been buying them. Oh, sorry. Someone said no. Cash Converters has heaps of The Players. Oh, okay. That makes more sense. I was like, does Cash Converters have a shelf of DVDs?

How embarrassing. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. We're just holding on. My co-worker owns over 2,000 VHS tapes. He collects them. What? No.

2,000? VHSes? Yeah. Who's rewinding? But how much space do those take up? One VHS is this big. Huge. You imagine this times 2,000.

Oh, no. People need to just hire a skip one weekend and chuck them out. Biff them all. Yeah. Stop being silly. Yeah. That's silly. Oh, how good was falling asleep during watching a movie on DVD and you'd wake up when the menu music was playing?

Oh, yeah. Or that DVD logo was bouncing along the screen. Yes. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Yesterday, I got secondhand embarrassment. I was at the pharmacy, and it's when you go up to the counter for your prescriptions.

What were you there for? I went to the travel doctor. I'm a walking pharmacy. Are you? I've got all the pills in case something happens when I'm in South America. Watch it up, baby. If you shit yourself, you've got these little ones that you take to start. I need that.

No, I don't. No, you're having to clear out specifically for. Yeah, you're getting ready for a colonoscopy. This is the last thing you need. The guy doing that, the rectalologist. Yeah. Don't snake it. He doesn't want to get to just a roadblock.

He's like, sorry, you can only come next week. I literally just came to a roadblock halfway up. You took that pill. So anyway, I said, oh, look, my doctor sent the order through. I got the text. I said, I'm just here to pick it up. So she goes to grab it. And then next to me, because it's side-by-side counters where you go up to the pharmacist,

I hear the words Oh, no. Thrush. It's thrush. Describe who you're standing beside. Okay, so there's a group of girls. So they've gone up in solidarity. And one of them is at the beside. Okay, so there's a group of girls. So they've gone up in, like, solidarity. Yeah.

And one of them is at the front, kind of. I'm guessing she's got the problem. And that's when I hear the words. The words, and I will say quite loudly, not like. Yeah, they're not subtle. They're not, like, softly spoken or whispering. It's quite loudly. Is there any discharge?

Like, is it white or kind of yellow coming out? And I'm like, I don't know if she's talking about, I don't know, a pussy leg or knee or toenail or is it a female thing? I'm like, I don't know where to look. Women don't go to the pharmacy together in solidarity for leg issues. Right. For a sore arm, an ingrown toenail, an ingrown hair. We're there because it's thrush season, baby.

And we started. Well, it's getting warmer. It was warm yesterday. A few warm days. The shorts are out. The shoes are coming off. My golden retriever's already had a heat rash. And that's sort of an indication.

Dog thrush. Dog thrush. That's how they say, you know, it's the other canary in the coal mine, the golden retrievers. Yeah, right, right. If they start getting heat rashes, you're, you know, iron up some thrush. Yeah. But it was like, because I just kind of... Iron up some thrush. I kind of came straight

in and they were already there. So they might have been like, this is great, we can go now, no one else is around. Yeah. But then I appear to pick up my order. How close are you physically? Like closer than you, I would say a foot. Oh my no. Like a couple of feet. Pharmacists,

why? There's surely, there's I mean one, maybe I'm being a prude here. We shouldn't be ashamed and we should be able to say it was more yellow than white. But then that's at the discretion of the individual receiving.

The amount of times that I have had loudly in pharmacies oral or vaginal. Oral or vaginal. And you're like, oh God. Which one do you think babe? Take a wild stab in the dark. Read my tone in my face.

That's the kind of thing that would make me go to a pharmacy out of town where no one knows me. Or go to a mall where there are three pharmacies to choose from and just sort of like hover around the mall looking for the right one that's the most empty and then go in. And then go right. And then ask them when no one else is around. But they might be empty because they are also wired into the mall PA system.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bing, bing, bong. Mr. Carl Fletcher, we've got your thrush medication. That's your vaginal thrush medication. Someone texted saying, imagine getting thrush meds and looking up and seeing Fletch from the radio And knowing probably He's going to talk about it on the radio He's going to talk about this on the radio

No do you know I couldn't even look at them I couldn't even describe what they looked like Because as soon as I heard those words I was just like I was looking at the wall I was looking at the mouthwashes On that side

I'm here for dental pics I was like I'm just not I'm not looking See I'd be saying Don't look, don't look, don't look Don't look, don't look And my eyes would be like Oh And I'd just like, I'm just not, I'm not looking. See, I'd be saying, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, and my eyes would be like, oh, and I'd be like, Nick, no, Nick! Stop turning, stop turning. And then I'm like, turn back, Nick!

And Nick's like, nope. And Brian's like, I'm kind of on his side. Let's see what we've got here. Well, I just think we should take this opportunity to send out thoughts and prayers for the summer season ahead. Yeah, yes. To all warm, moist areas. I'm just going to say let it breathe a bit. Let it breathe.

It doesn't have to be bloody what are those shorts LKSDs right up there the whole time. Let the girl breathe. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So there is a woman, her name is Katie.

She's on TikTok and she has started a series called, well, it's basically watch me play bingo on my boyfriend. Right. And he plays COD. Call of Duty. Call of Duty. Yeah. I knew that.

Yeah. Not Circle of Death, a card game. Famous party card game. Yeah. Terrible party card game. That I would opt out of because I, of course, only drink in moderation. I only drink in moderation. If I got the King's Cup, I would donate it.

Yeah, you got the King's Cup. I'd say, to be honest, guys, I think we should all have a sip. I think we should all have a sip. In moderation and then go home. In moderation and go home at seven. Yeah. You know, after some food. Sure.

So it's basically, he plays so much Call of Duty and sits there on his triple screen set up with the big ugly chair and the headphones. He's got a big ugly chair. I'm really surprised you don't have a gaming chair, Vaughn. Really? Have you met Charles? Yeah.

Can you imagine what would happen if I rocked him with a gaming chair? It's not part of the Scandi aesthetic. Where would a Scandi do a gaming chair? It would be some awful awful unergonomic thing that probably waited a ton that you couldn't move. Disgusting. And they'd be like,

study it, it's perfect. Yeah. So she makes these sheets like a bingo card that you normally have numbers and as they call out the number, you cross it off.

She makes these sheets but the numbers are replaced with things that he does while he plays Call of Duty. Like, makes weird noise, says,

I'm gonna lose it, says we're out loud, says he's cheating, sighs heavily. He's cheating? How old is her boyfriend? I don't know. You're cheating. 20 in his 20s. They're in our spawn is one of them.

I don't know what that is. Maybe I haven't played a lot of Call of Duty. Bruh is one. Yeah, bruh. Okay, Bra is one. Yeah, Bra. Okay, Dude is another. Spider Monkey, are you joking? So she just puts up

all the things that he usually says and then she just sits there and as he says them out loud, she's like, crosses it out and then says bingo. making some entertainment

for herself while she's lost her boyfriend for hours. She's making a hobby. Yeah, she's making, yeah. So she has this whole list and now she's started it as a series. It is really funny. Like, it's really funny. And's making a hobby. Yeah, she's making, yep. So she has this like whole list and now she's started it as

a series. It is really funny. Like it's really funny. And it's a great way, as you say, to pass the time because he spends hours and hours and hours a day. It's almost like if she had a hobby, she could be doing it at the same time. Her hobby is now playing bingo with her partner's call of duty. So she's made a hobby. Yeah. Of his hobby.

Yeah. I want to know because I imagine this would be an annoying thing for lots of partners. Does your partner have an incredibly time consuming hobby? Do you know what I reckon? And it blows my mind. Golf. Oh yeah. Oh my god son. Especially when a golf dad

has a newborn or a young baby and how long does golf take? Because I've never. Day. Five hours for 18 holes. Yeah. Yep, Shannon's... The day. Shannon grew up on golf.

It's a day thing. You might not get... There might be a bit of slow pokery. There might be a bit of afterwards, a bit of skullduggery. Of course there's skullduggery afterwards. Afterwards, okay. I'm just going to have one drink at the clubhouse.

Sure. Can you come pick me up? Where are your clubs? I wouldn't, I don't know if I had a partner and they were away all day doing a hobby, I'd be like fine, I'll do something else. You're a solo creature. Yeah, it wouldn't bother me. But that's why I'm saying particularly

with like newborns when there's a baby on the scene that has to be looked after and someone's just like peace out, I'm out for six hours. I don't think it was great. I used to march seven hours a Saturday, seven hours a Sunday, and three hours on a Tuesday. And that was like my whole first half of my relationship with Aaron.

And he'd just be like, where are you going? I'd be like, oh, so you can't come? I'm not going to think of you. You're not even part of this. Yeah. And then you just... What would he do?

His? Play with himself. Play with himself. Maybe twice on the Saturday. One on Sunday because it's the Lord's Day. Maybe not for 18 hours a week, but yeah. Yeah. Oh, I don't know.

Okay. I didn't care. I was doing my hobby. But that's the thing, I guess. If that's how your relationship can function, that's fine. Yeah. Yes. But if your partner went away fishing all day, I'd say I'd be stoked at that as well.

Fishing, yeah, me too. But like... If they come back with fish. Yeah. Or maybe you've got... Not if they just come back with... Oh, not tuna. 12. Not are not, yeah, me too. But like, if they come back with fish. Yeah. Or maybe you've got, not if they just come back with, oh, not tuna. 12,

12 less beers. Yeah. 12 less beers in an empty ice bucket. Yeah, great, thank you. Yeah, where's our snapper? But it could be the other way. Maybe it's something

that doesn't take them out of the house but they're completely consumed by it. Like my best friend who just knits, knits, knits, knits, knits, knits, knits, knits.

But you can knit and do it. But she won't. She'll sit and knit and you can't talk to her. But that would be annoying if your partner was doing their hobby just in the house on the couch. Yeah. Can you not hobby around me?

Go hobby somewhere else. Right. Hobby out of sight. Someone, for example, messaged him, my husband has a time-consuming hobby. It's going to the toilet. The amount of hours he spends there on his phone. You can't rush these things.

What are you doing? You can't rush these things. Yeah, like, Vaughn, you're a long toilet user. I'm not. You can't rush these things. What are you doing? You can't rush these things. Yeah, like, Vaughan, you're a long toilet. I'm not. You can't rush these things. I don't reckon you wash your hands. Oh, wait. He said this to me yesterday.

I wash my hands. He was like, gosh, he's a fast peeler. Did you wash your hands? And I went like this and some water came off. He doesn't believe that might have been pee. We have high-fibre diet. No, she wees. Oh, you do wee fast.

A woman never wee quicker than men, and she can wee and get out of there quicker than us. Yeah, it is. It's odd. But you've got one less kidney. I've got one less kidney. 0800 DALS at M, we want to take your calls now.

Text through 9696. Does your partner have a time-consuming hobby? There is a woman sharing the fact that she plays Call of Duty bingo with her boyfriend. He plays Call of Duty

and she has a bingo sheet for all the things that he usually says and crosses it off. I mean, I guess it's better than her just sitting there bitching. Well, he plays for hours.

What are you doing? Give me some attention. That'd be me. But I want to know if your partner has a really time-consuming hobby, and there are a lot of them. Lisa, good morning. Good morning. What does your partner do?

So he's got an array of hobbies. Yeah. He is a rugby player over winter. He's a golf player for the rest of the other seasons. He loves to fish and he games. Okay, so you never see him.

Do you remember his name? Do you remember his name, Lisa? Or is that sort of a distant memory to the sound of his voice? I find him in the dark depending on what time of day it is. Yeah. Wow. That's a busy man. Very busy man. Do you have hobbies yourself

that doesn't bother you that he's doing all of this stuff or do you love it for him? A bit of both, to be honest. Some days, currently, I mean,

yesterday was a day he was home all day and I was like, I'm not going to go out on the golf course, are you? Nice of you to stick around for a bit. You're kind of interrupting my, like, I'm not going to go out on the golf course, are you? Nice of you to stick around for a bit. You're kind of interrupting my time.

Yeah. I love that. You're like, I never get to see you. And then they're there all day and you're like, can you leave? Go play golf. Do one of your hobbies, please. I had plans with this house for the day. Love that, Lisa.

Thank you. Shelly, what does your partner do? He rock climbs and boulders every second day until, like, 10 p.m. after work. Oh, my God. He'd have a hell of a rig on him then. He'd have good back muscles there, Shelly, good back muscles. Yeah, it's a win-win, honestly. Good tight grip on the phalanges and the toes.

Yeah, big forearms. Yup, says Shelly. Big forearms. Yeah, shoulders and forearms actually. Good veins probably. Hot bodies actually. What's his bottom like? Tight? Or big? Like a nice muscle. A toy.

Wait, does he wear those young shoes that they wear? The toe shoes. The toe shoes. Yeah. They're like very, they get sizes too small for them and just like stuff them in so they're like curved. Yeah. I lost my boner on this one.

No, no, no, just rewind time. Let's rewind time. The back, the back. Rewind time. Oh, my God, the shoulders on this guy. Now, lie to us. Does he wear the shoes with the toes? No.

Oh, yeah. Ultimate man. It sounds like the ultimate man. The ultimate man. Shelly, thank you. Some messages in. Your partner's time-consuming hobbies. My partner plays snooker.

Snooker. Not even pool. snooker. Snooker. Not even pool. Not even pool. Snooker. We've done snooker balls, but I don't know how to use them, so they just sit there. They're different points, hey? Yeah, and then you put them in the pocket,

and then you put them back on the table? Something puts them back on the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Takes hours, and he can't take the kids along because you've got to be quiet or you get death stares from the other. Sounds like professional snooker. Sounds like.

Um. Oh, okay. Someone's getting all about. Yeah. Complaining about not getting enough sex but then they play video games or golf.

Get out of here. Get out of here. Scram. Scram. Get out of here. She doesn't want you. Darts. Three hours practice

on Thursday night. Darts all day Saturday. The occasional Sunday darts tournament. And then he records darts competitions and watches other people play for hours practice on Thursday night. Darts all day Saturday. The occasional Sunday darts tournament. And then he records darts competitions and watches other people play for hours when he gets home. Oh, that's cute. He's got a hobby. I have such a deep desire to go to the darts champs, though.

The world champs. Do you? What? The party zone. Yeah, it's like the sevens. They get dressed up in these crazy outfits. Yeah, it's the sevens. They get there and they're drinking beer.

It's so fun to watch. Is that young guy still doing well and he looks like a 30-year-old drinker? Yeah, that young fella. He's amazing. My partner's got his pilot licence and his own plane, so he's either flying the plane or working on the plane, but then when he comes home he plays flight

simulator. So three years ago I bought a horse. Oh, wow, okay. Hobby for hobby. Someone doesn't want to have any money ever. Yeah, it just happens. Money's not for them. Someone doesn't want to have any money ever. Yeah. Money's not for them. My husband plays polo. We're not rich wankers. He's part of the povo team in our region.

Oh, thank God. Thank you for clarifying. I love how you had to clarify that. You really get in there quick. During summer and spring, I barely see him. He's at the stables two times a day. In winter, he's always here. And I'm like, oh, my God, why are you always here? Yeah.

In winter. He needs a winter hobby. Yeah, get him a winter sport. What can you do with horses in winter? Tricking? I always think he needs to transition into sled dogs. Oh, that would be cool. That's very winter.

That's another sort of animal heavy situation. My partner is a school principal, a rugby coach, a rugby coach? A rugby coach and runs ultra marathons. So yeah, I don't see a lot of them. Someone said my husband's hobby is playing Fortnite for hours. Nothing more of a libido killer than seeing your 41-year-old husband on the couch intensely playing

PlayStation like a 14-year-old boy. But when he gets out of the Royal, he's number one dog. Give that man some good stuff. And then he does a little emote, a little dance. I've never been more tuned off in my life. Someone messaged in saying He's number one dog. Give that man some good stuff. And then he does a little emote, a little dance. Now we're talking. I've never been more turned off in my life.

Someone messaged in saying, I run long distances. My partner was always a bit sad that I was out of the house for such a long time. But now he bikes alongside me so we can spend time together. But he's on a bike going at the speed of a runner. He'll be doing all the talking. And then you're trying to walk back. And you're just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's cute though. Cars. Someone's saying cars. Oh, no, yeah. Expesive boys in the shed. And then you're trying to walk back and you're just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's cute though.

Cars. Someone's saying cars. Oh, no, yeah. Expensive. Boys in the shed. Cars. Yeah, but it gets them out of the house.

Yeah. Yeah. If it gets them out of the house. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Only a couple of weekends ago, right?

You did the Heafy Track. Yep. Big hike. 80 kilometres. 80 kilometres. And as a result of that hard mahi, your feet have never looked worse. I knew where this was going. Now, it is Birkenstock season. I've hard launched mine today, and my feet don't look great.

I'm going to deal with it. But your... Like, everybody's feet at the moment are a bit white. Yeah. A bit, you know, pale. We've got a month or so to just do a bit of work on the foot to make them more presentable.

But I don't know how you're going to do yours because all of your, well, a lot of your toenails Three of them. Have gone black. Yes. Because they're bleeding underneath. Yes. And then you had, like, what would you even call them? Like, pussy.

There's a name. It's like the cuticles got bruised by the toenail getting like slammed in my boots. It's the beginning of an ingrown toenail, right? No. No, it's at the other end. It's at the other end. Yeah. It's at the cuticle end.

It's at the cuticle, cutie cutie. Cutie Q. But I thought the cuticle end was the back end. No, the cuticle's the top. Yeah. Wait, what happens with an ingrown toenail? It's at the top. It just folds under and goes into the skin.

But it folds under at the top. Oh, my God. I always thought an ingrown toenail was where your toenail was trying to grow out, but you wore something and it pushed it back. No, no, no, no. It's when the end starts to curl around back into the foot. Oh, how does that happen? So basically three of my toes got so bruised that there's blood

under the toenail and they look bruised and black. They look bruised and black. Now you've got your toes out every day. Do you know I was reading, just if I can sidebar. Please, sidebar. I told this to Vaughn when you were in the toilet. That's a lot. I will warn anyone listening. It's a lot. I was like, how do you get rid of it? Because it's not like

it's not the toenail that's black, it's underneath. The flesh. Yeah. Yeah. Where there's blood that's just sitting there. So I googled how to get rid of that. Do you know what the top internet articles were? Heat up a paperclip or a pen really hot.

Red hot. Red hot. And make a whole thing of toenails that you can drain it out. Just go through it. Just go through it. I'm not doing that. I've got a tiny drill bit. A tiny drill bit.

You reckon drill? I reckon it would be paperclip thin. I've got a tiny drill bit. I'll bring in the Dewant, full charge back. We'll do it. Absolutely not. Heat it up. We've got a candle in the studio.

We don't need to heat it up because it's a drill bit that's never been used. Anyway. It's too small for anything. My solution is because, honestly, it's an eyeful, you know. It's pretty gross, eh? What if I bring in some of me OPIs, right? And I've got a range of colours at home, from black through to Barbie pink.

Do you have a toenail-coloured OPI? Like just a normal... Like a flesh-coloured. Like a... Huge. No, but it would need to look like the nail itself, not flesh. Oh, so I'm doing sort of a soft face. There was a nail colour, and I remember it so distinctly.

It's called Santantania. What colour? It was a sand-coloured toenail. It was like a brownie, very natural. I think that would go well with her. Okay, someone has messaged in saying, burning the hole is so good and it doesn't really hurt at all. Because your nails don't, the nail doesn't have any feel.

No, the nail is fine. Oh, the nail doesn't have a feeling. Yeah, yeah. No, no, it's when you cut the nail. But what if I go too far and I... That's what you have to be careful of. But there should be a spot where all that blood's sitting underneath it that's dead. Yeah.

And it's just blood, right? But what if it's dried and it's not... Oh my God. My grandfather used to do a lot of work in the shed, and as a result, he used to smack his fingers and thumbs quite often with a hammer, and to get rid of the blood underneath, he would use the smallest drill bit to drill it out himself.

Okay. I'd rather just paint my toenails, to be honest. A lot of suggestions coming in. I think I'm going to bring in a nice Barbie pink. We're going to have you looking cute for summer. I found the colour. San Antonio. Check the text and see if... Check the chat and see what you think of that colour.

I reckon it's you. Yeah, look, I think maybe... Oh, yeah, that's cute. Maybe I'll try the paperclip thing first and see how that goes. Oh, my God, we should totally do this. Excuse me. Put your eyes on this colour. No, I don't know if I'm an OPA...

A little neutral. This is you. It's neutral. It's nice. No one's going to notice, but when they do, they're going to be like, he's putting in the effort. It's been in that manky situation of bloody the bruised rainbow toes that you've got at the moment.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hey, you on the phone. I bet I can guess your mum's name. Megan joins us for I bet I can guess your mum's name. Good morning, Megan. Good morning, guys. How are you doing? Really good.

Now, Vaughn, for those that are maybe new to the show and don't know how this game works, Vaughn will ask Megan five questions about her mum and then have 15 seconds to try and guess her name. If he can do that, $100 cash, and then it does fire off a bonus round, one guess at dad's name, which has been done before. It's possible.

Let's see how we go. Has there ever been a dad was in fact a mum? Lesbian parents? No, never had that. Right. But we would then fire off the bonus round guess other mum's name. Mask mum's name.

Mask mum's. Bonus round. Why are you on the phone? Mask mum's name. Mask mum's name. Mask mum's. Bonus round. Why are you on the phone? Mask mum's name. Okay. I've never even thought about what would happen if somebody called. It would be easier for me because there's two mum's names to guess initially, I guess, and then you guess the other mum's name.

Yeah. What if I name both mum's names in the. Well, look, we'll get to that when we get back. We'll get to that when it comes to that. Maybe it's Al Everest. We'll tee it up for pride. The day we do that, mum's name, and it's two mums, and I get both of them, that's it.

You reckon don't play it again. No, but I love this game. What about two gay Indian mums, And then you've clocked it. Yeah. Yeah, then you've clocked it. Then you've clocked it. Come around here with your white mum's names. Okay, Megan, first question.

I'm going to write Megan down. Can we hum, please, just a quick, to get our vibrations in sync, Megan? This is how you get the psychic. Yeah, the link. I'm going to start humming. You join me as best you can on key, okay? You ready? sync, Megan. This is how you get the psychic. Yeah, the link. I'm going to start humming you join me as best you can on key, okay? Are you ready? Okay, yeah.

Wow, really running the waves together for you. Okay, so now you're kind of in sync psychically. Can I get the correct spelling of your name? M-E-G-H-A-N. Got an H in your hand. H-A-N, We've got the American spelling. Okay. You've got an H in yours

in the middle, willy-nilly. Vaughan. Yeah, I do have Vaughan. All right. How old is mum? What's mum's age? Mum is 53.

Don't say. Yeah, don't say. I kind of vocalise as we go, and I write down a whole lot of months. It's not until the 15 seconds at the end that we actually... No audio clues, no nothing. We're kindly saying shut your mouth, Megan. Poker face. Poker face, okay.

But I am crossing off Rebecca. That's a freebie. Maria, what about a Maria? 50s. Maria, there'll be a Nicola. Yeah, 100% it's Nicola. Yeah, that's a good one. 100% it's Nicola.

What about finance minister Nicola Willis? Is she in her 50s? 50s is great. I daren't assume her age, but surely early 50s. A woman never tells. Diane? Lisa? She's 43.

Oh, God. You've utterly offended her there. I do apologise to the right honourable Nicola Willis. She's 43. Oh, God. You've utterly offended her there. I do apologise to the right honourable Nicola Willis. She's younger than me. She's younger than you. And you asked if she was in her 30s. You know what? I just think all politicians are old.

They've got to be old. They've got to be old, right? Because they're telling us what to do. Yeah, they're telling us what... I'm not going to be told what to do if I say I'm younger than me. It's like in the news when a sex offender's younger than me. You're like, what? I'm like, no, you're supposed to be older than me. Gross man. Sex offenders aren't supposed to be told what to do if I say I'm younger than me. It's like in the news when a sex offender's younger than me. You're like, what? I'm like, no, you're supposed to be older than me.

Really? Yeah, love, yeah. But you're not thinking she's 50? Kristen Wiig is 51 years old. Is she? Kristen's 51. Who? Kristen Wiig.

Are you kidding me? Yeah. She's older than Nicola Willis, finance minister. Stop insulting. This is unbelievable. Kirsten Dunst is only 42 years old. Younger than Nicola Willis. Than Nicola Willis.

Okay, next question. What's mum's Christmas tradition? Like, does she have a tradition? I would say, for example, I would say Christine always busts out the scorched almonds at about 10.30 in the morning. Yeah, good. That's a really good question.

She is the kind of person that every Christmas when we're opening presents has all of the Christmas carols playing already. Wow. She's got a second to wake up. Oh, so she's an all-day Christmas girl. She's got a jolly festive. She loves Christmas.

At the age of 18 Jeanette Jeanette Okay, alright, next question What are mum's siblings' names? Oh, this is a bit tricky because my mum was adopted, but now she's found all of her biological siblings. Okay, well, let's hear them all.

Who named her? Fascinating. So you've got, she was adopted, so she's got siblings in her adopted family, but also she's found all of her biological siblings' names. Yeah, so she was adopted by her grandmother on her mum's side. So she always had all of those kind of

siblings, I guess, in the family. But, okay. Siblings names, I can rattle them all off. There's a lot. Give it a go. She's got Christina. Tanya. Tanya's not on my list. Carry on.

Family story. What's mum's favourite movie? Oh, probably either The Holiday or Love Actually. She loves Christmas. She loves Christmas, doesn't she?

It's mum's season. I love both those films. I think you're right, I am going to put Blitzen on the list. That's a wasted... What's like the female version of Rudolph? Ruby? Ruby? Ruby, yeah, could put Ruby.

Oh, my God, that's a sitter Kirstie. It's of that vintage. You're an idiot, Vaughn. I went right round it. I've got people texting me saying,

are you putting Thirsty Kirstie on the radio? Thirsty Kirstie. Because she loves the gin. Because she loves the gin. Is it that or does she post thirst traps and stuff? No, it's the gin. It's the gin. She traps and stuff? No, it's the gin. It's the gin. She's like, shut up, it's the gin.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I got so close. Kirsten. I can't believe we've had a loss. An E. Oh, so close. So sorry, Megan. Unfortunately, Megan, you go home empty-handed.

We don't even get to guess Dad's name. No, thank you so much for playing. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. My dad came up a couple of nights ago to spend a night with me and hang out with us, and then he was catching up with a friend. Now, do you know my dad has been best friends with his group of four guys since they were four years old? They're 63.

That is so cute. They all went to kindy together. So next year's going to be their 60th friendiversary. Isn't that amazing? That's fantastic. I know. Imagine being able to stand people for that long. I know.

And they've just been great mates for all these years. So one of his mates who lives in Australia was home for a bit and was like, we should catch up, you know, spend a couple of nights together, hang out. And I was like, great, Dad, you come stay with me and then he can come pick you up the next day. Yeah. And you can go just hang out.

My idea of it was like they're probably, they're going to go play some golf. Yeah. Have some beers, spin some yarns, listen to some music, go to bed. That was sort of, I imagine them doing.

Yeah. He comes to my house yesterday, my dad's friend, to pick up my dad up. What time? 12, noon. Noon,

okay. Noon. It's a noon pickup. And, we're chatting away about, da, da, da, da, da. I showed him through the house and whatnot. How's the family?

Da-da-da-da. Because I've known him my whole life, obviously. And they get in the car and I said, oh, what are you guys going to do now? And then my dad's friend Mark goes, oh, we're actually heading into town. And I was like, oh, God, town, you know. I live out west.

I was like, why are you heading back into town? And he's just around in the North Shore. I was like, oh, I thought you'd just be heading back. And he said, no, I'm, Craig, my dad, he said, Craig, I'm taking you into the Cordis in town, which is a big, kind of fancy hotel in Auckland. Yeah. Is that where our buffet is?

Yeah, it's where your buffet is. We went to a buffet there once. You do high tea there quite a lot. Yeah, I've been to a high tea there too. I believe there was a chocolate fountain. Yeah, there was. There was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They do a My Little Pony thing there. Oh, yeah. I didn't take my kids. They just like My Little Pony. Yeah, and I said, oh, what are you going to do at the Quarters? He said, oh, we're going to have a nice spa day together. I was like, excuse me. Two men in their 60s.

Two old mates in their 60s. Getting a rub down. Getting a rub down. That's nice. We're going to have a rub. Was it a couple's massage? I don't know. They're going to have a swim, a sauna and a spa.

They're going to have a little spa day together. That is the perfect day. That's the perfect day. Beautiful. I just thought it was the most beautiful thing. While we wait until our. Beautiful. I just thought it was the most beautiful thing. Well, we went to our 60s. I know. These two heterosexual men that have been married both since they were in their 20s.

Yeah. Who have known each other since they were four years old, who are catching up for what I thought was a bro's weekend. Yeah. And they're heading off for a spa day together. I love that. That's amazing. It honestly made me so happy.

And my dad was all like, ooh, we're all like giddy. Oh yeah. And sort of sweet and then they jumped in the front seat together and you know, off they sort of pulled out of my driveway and I waved them off their lovely little gay date. I just thought it was so nice to see two

later middle aged men heading off for a little spa day together. Heterosexual men. Very. Yeah, both have wives. They've been with the same women for years and years and years. You're saying they're getting a bit bored.

No, don't twist this into anything. They're after a little bit of strange. Did they end with a buffet or like a high tea? I don't know. I dare not interrupt their date with the presence of women. I didn't want to text him in front. I asked mum, I said, how was dad's date? And she said, I don't know. I dare not interrupt their date with the presence of women. I didn't want to text him and find out. I asked mum, I said, how was dad's date? And she said, I don't know.

I haven't heard from him. You know, other than like, oh, I'm home. But not like, didn't hear about the date. What time did the date end? What time was your father? I don't know. It's none of my business. They had a lovely gay date.

But was he returned to your house? No, no, no. He was staying. They had a sleepover. How is that? That is so cute. That is so cute. That is so cute. I thought it was so sweet when you think about these young boys in Kawaro in whatever year it was

when they were four years old having their little sleepovers and hanging out, running amok on their bikes and now they're 63 having a lovely gay date at the spa. I just thought it warmed my cold heart. That's nice. It is nice. Heck yeah. We should do it more often. It's like when there's stag do's and you have to play paintball and get hurt

and then go to the strippers and then the women get to do the fun things like a spa day and you're like, oh, can I do that? No, the men should be doing that. Well, we can do a spa day next time. Or next time. You guys should go. On my 14th wedding anniversary. You're planning the next time.

I think more men should be going out on these lovely one-on-one dates to connect and catch up. I totally think so. I bet they had a good talk. How nice. I think women would be. Without Hayley. Yeah, you should.

Yeah. Oh, hang on. Yeah. Oh, no, come on. I think women would be surprised at what their partner's men's chat looks like because sometimes it gets pretty vulnerable in there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The lads really, I think it's changed.

There might, you know, there's probably still like the lads, lads out there. Yeah. And there's always a bit of lads, lads chat in the lads chat. But I tell you what, sometimes chicken's pretty vulnerable in there. I think these people, because this group of four, I think they've always spoken quite deeply. And especially my dad. As they get older, they get more emotional.

Yeah. Especially my dad. He's got Alzheimer's and it's opened up this emotional part. I bet they had a bloody good talk in that spa. I wonder if they had a cry. I wonder if they had a cry. Oh, man, I hope got Alzheimer's and it's opened up this emotional part. I bet they had a bloody good talk in that spot. I wonder if they had a cry. Oh man, I hope so. Yeah, me too.

Oh God, I love a cry. Best place to cry though because it kind of hides the tears. A lot of steam. A lot of sweat. A lot of sweat, a lot of steam.

Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. It's fizzy drink week here at Fact of the Day. Learning all about fizzy drink. Soda, whatever you call it. Pop.

Is this a fizzy drink? Is it fizzy? Ginger beer. Yeah, ginger beer this morning. That's a fizzy drink? Is it fizzy? Ginger beer Yeah, ginger beer this morning That's a fizzy drink Because you're doing your colonoscopy prep Yeah, that's right And that's on the allowed list

Ginger beer's on my allowed list Ginger's on the list I can tell you the Because we're dealing with the We have touched lightly on the acidity Of soda drinks Yes Because we talked about how the cans have to have a lining in them.

Yep. And the gas can slowly escape out. We're kind of confused. I think we should give kudos to a text that came in yesterday when we were talking about better out of glass or cans. Yes. And then you said the reason that the soda doesn't eat the cans is because there's a plastic lining.

A BPA lining on the inside. And somebody messaged in saying, well, that's cheating. That's just a plastic bottle wearing a coat. Which I really enjoy. Wearing a typical full metal coat. I really enjoyed that text. Well, this story today is from 2009. A man claimed that he opened his Mountain Dew, took a slurp,

and was like, that's weird, what's that? And something was hanging out that he pulled it out, and it was a mouse's tail, and he pulled out a whole mouse. No, he didn't. And he said, I got a mouse in my Mountain Dew, and I'm suing you, Pepsi. In a can or bottle? Huh? Bottle.

A can. A can. Because you'd see it in a bottle. You'd see the floating mouse. Also, there wasn't, this didn't happen. So it went all to the court and everything. Yeah. It was in Illinois and they did investigations and Pepsi went and said, this is, he kept

the can. He's like, this is the can it came out of. Yeah. And they said, well, on the bottom there, that number is the manufacturing date. Yeah. And if a mouse was in there from canning, there would be no mouse left. Because that's

how acidic Mountain Dew is. Oh! They got him with science! It would have, in Breaking Bad, disintegrated. In the bathtub, disintegrated the mouse. And they said, well, that's the production date, and if you'd like us to recreate this, we can. We can get a mouse cadaver.

Yeah. Thank you. You know. Animal testing. Already did. They've already passed. They've donated their body. This mouse died of natural causes.

Yeah. Lived a long and cheese-filled life. I only test my lipstick on dead animals. Mice, cadavers. Me too, and eyeshadows and stuff. I actually test them on dead humans. I won't say what funeral home, but I do have an agreement with a funeral home.

You go in with your lipsticks and your eyeshadows. And I do. And people always say, that is a lovely shade on Nana. Yeah. And I wink at the funeral director. From an upcoming makeup brand that I haven't launched yet because it's still in testing. If you think it would look good on you. Yeah. I can't wait for your makeup line. I'm excited.

I know. VS Beauty. VS Beauty! VS Beauty. It just VS Beauty. VS Beauty. It just sounds cheap. No animal testing. It just sounds cheap. No animal testing. It sounds like cheap white plastic trays. Anyway, carry on.

So they did recreate it and the mouse wouldn't, there wouldn't have been a tail. There wouldn't have been the soft tissue of a mouse. Yeah, yeah. For how long would it have been? It would have been bones. There would have been bones and it would have created, it would have made the drink a jelly-like substance.

Because it dissolved it. So I looked up the pH of mountain. Sorry. Go on. What, are you going to tell us what happened with the court case? It got thrown out. Thrown out. It was at him.

They settled. They settled, but it was like, see, that sucks. No, no, no, they offered him something, but they were just like, this isn't. He should pay them for wasting everybody's time. Yeah, he was trying to get money out of them. Yeah. Extortion. Extortion, Your Honour.

So I looked up the pH of Mountain Dew. Now, keeping in mind, I think absolutely neutral is about seven. Seven, yeah. That's on the, and it always blew my mind that the lower the number, the more powerful the acid. Remember at school when you'd learn about acids and alkalines and alkalines are the high number? And you'd be like, no, that should be acid because it burns.

But then it turns out they both burn. But alkalines are just getting away with whatever they want and acid is the scary thing that you don't want to fall into a vat of. No, the ideal pH for a vagina is 3.8 to 4.5. That's how you want to keep it. Yeah, yeah, that's why we bleach undies. Because a mountain... Women know what I'm talking about.

A mountain juice. The pH of mountain juice is 3.22. So it's slightly more acidic than a vagina. Now, give me that number again. 3.8 to 4.5. Wait, could a mouse survive? In a vagina, they wouldn't stand a chance. The, okay, this is interesting.

Okay, I've got a few things that are the same pH as a vagina. A root beer. And all, creaming soda. Creaming soda? Which is also your nickname. How dare you? A soft drink called Sesame Street's Elmo's Punch.

The same pH as... Fletch, don't worry, people need to know what other drinks are the same. If you're enjoying a delicious bottle of Tropicana 100% orange juice today, that's the same acidity. What, it'll burn your undies, won't it? It'll burn your undies. Bleach your undies.

So today's... Bleach your undies. Let's get out of here. Today's fact of the day. Someone just messaged me. Is that a vagina? I'm howling. A vagina is the same pH level as root beer.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. and Hayley. So people have noticed when Chris Martin touches down in a new city to perform with Coldplay when he gets off the plane I imagine it's a private jet. Yep. When he gets off the plane he kisses the tarmac of the new place. That's a bit odd.

So it was spotted in Australia. He's done it kind of all around the world. Kisses the tarmac before he boards the plane. But then like people spit

and things spill and like jet fuel might be on the plane. Yuck, but then like people spit and things spill and like jet fuel might be on the ground. Yeah. Or like yuck. Yuck. Yeah, but he says it's like a ritual that he does. It's like a good luck thing. Did he have a, was he in a near miss or some kind of emergency landing once

that put the fear into him? Yeah, I'm not sure. People are just saying it's a little bit gross. He kissed the tarmac at Sydney Airport before boarding the private jet was to Auckland. Right. And then he kisses it when he lands. Yeah, and then he kisses it when he lands.

Do you think he got that from Gwyneth Paltrow? That's something she would do. Yeah, it's very goopy-esque, isn't it? It's very goop. So I think this is just maybe a ritual, like a good luck thing, a little. Like is it superstition? Yeah, superstition I reckon.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is what we're talking about. If you have these rituals before you do something, you know, because a lot of people do. I'm not religious or very superstitious other than when I saw a ghost. And now I believe he's my guardian angel. I can't wait to meet him again. But I have little rituals like before I go on stage,

like a little script I run through before I go on. What kind of thing? Oh, it's pretty cheesy. What's the worst that could happen? Every audience is a gift. They want you to achieve. They like you. That's why they're here.

Isn't that true? Just little things. Be in the moment, one step at a time. Be present. And if I don't say it, and if I've walked out on stage and I haven't done my little mantras, I'm like, oh. Oh, you go back, do you go back off stage and say them? Well, no, that would be silly.

But I just think that's going to be a bad show. But I met a lot of sports people would have this. Well, yes. I like to start the new year with a human sacrifice every year. Okay. Who are you sacrificing this year? Well, whoever I can find. Just a bad person.

Yeah, they're always bad people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you a serial killer if you only do it once a year? Yeah, no. You're a ceremonial killer. Okay. And I've had to tick off. Yeah, okay.

You've got to be careful, you know, because sometimes our listeners don't realise when we speak in jest. Of course. Like when I said yesterday that Trump had done great things for women and someone texts him saying, does she really think that Trump's done great things for women? No, no, she does not. No, she really doesn't.

No. I mean, maybe it's a pre-sports thing. Maybe it's a pre-going to work thing. Maybe it's a pre-travel thing. Everyone might have these little rituals. Yeah, or a superstitious thing that you do. Yeah, a superstition that they do. 0800 DALES.

Give us a call now. Text through 9696. Do you have a ritual that you always have to do? 0800DARLS.M Give us a call now. Text through 9696. Do you have a ritual that you always have to do? Running a little late, but I'm loving hearing these rituals. So many messages. My ritual is dipping my hands in water. You may have seen there,

the listener wouldn't have heard it, but you two may have seen a puzzled look on my face. Continue to read. Or was it this text? It was this text. I just hooned in. I worked it out because I wasn't quite sure what one of the terms meant, but carry on. My ritual is dipping my hands

in water or under the tap before and after a one-on-one session and flicking it over my face. I work with those experiencing grief and loss so it feels important to clear that.

Oh, I think maybe we've got a counsellor here. Yeah. It also refreshes me and sets a grand tension for the time we have together. That's a big thing. I thought they meant

after passionate lovemaking. A one-on-one session we have together. I thought they meant after passionate lovemaking. A one-on-one session. They'd flick water in their face, passionate lovemaking, and then flick. And I was like, ugh. I mean, have a shower, the rest of us. They have that before some of the bushwalks and stuff. Have you seen those before? They've got it in the Waitakere Ranges, and you go and wash your hands,

you're supposed to flick it and sort of cleanse yourself before you go into the bush. Someone said, even if we're talking to anyone else and a song comes on, we excuse ourselves and find each other on the dance floor. Been doing it since we met. Married nearly 50 years. That's cute. That's cute as heck.

My ritual is that I cannot drive 111 kilometres. We shouldn't be anyway. I hear my late father, who is also a firefighter, saying that will be the number I'm calling if I'm doing that speed. Oh, so it's 111, 111. Right. So if you're on the Waikato Expressway at 110, that's the speed.

It's either 112 or 9. Look what I got the other day. Look what I got the other day. A ticket. No, no. Photo of my speed. I was at 44,444.4 kilometres. That's hot, man. That's hot stuff.

So you were on your phone and driving, and I pulled over on the side of the road to take the photo. I did. I was watching it click up, and it was like we did three, and I was like, I pulled over and then just crawled along the side of the road. You got the photo. I took the photo, and I was like, and then I carried on.

Oh my god, someone texted and shouted to everyone that holds their breath in a tunnel. Or over a bridge. Over a bridge, yeah. Or if you're going past the cemetery, some people do it, go past the old,

or you don't really go past the old Taupiri Hill cemetery as much anymore. Someone said sidebar, sidebar if they may. Yeah, absolutely. They actually work at Parihua Farm

and they are not staying there. Now you would stay, you would say that. This is about Coldplay. Oh, well where are they staying then? Who landed yesterday then? Fill the blanks. Who landed two helicopters yesterday at Parihaua Farm?

I don't know. Okay. Now, can you end with that, I've just had a watch tap from producer Carwin. We connected eyes and she tapped her watch at me. Well, I'm in no hurry. If someone tells me to hurry up, especially a woman, I won't do it. Especially a woman. I rub my feet together like a cricket before I get into bed every night.

Like a cricket. That's nice. That's cricket. That's nice. That's cute. That's nice. That's really cute. That one's got nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Okay, I'll finish with this one. Now, you've been listening to the show for the whole hour. Fact of the day was about the pH of Mountain Dew but it quickly

went sideways. Sideways. Someone messaged in. Yep. I am pregnant and I'm in the very nauseous vomit stage. I'm very picky about what I can keep down. Yep. A lot of the times it's hash brown from Macca's.

Show sponsor. Thank you. Beautiful tip. And I also snacked on a bag of grain waves. Oh, amazing. Not as good as they used to be. No, they're good. I know, but they're still, whenever I have them, I'm like, that's yum.

Then I listened to your fact of the day about the mouse and the mountain dew and how the man tried to sue them, but then it would have turned to jelly. And at the same time, there was a stinky bus with black smoke coming out of its pipes in front of me. And then Hayley mentioned creaming soda with relation to the pH level of a vagina. And I had to pull over in front of Hagler College and spew into an empty bag of grain waves. I'm so sorry.

You like only Maccas and a bag of grain waves. Well, I did read that when you are older and or pregnant, your pH is much more neutral. Oh, really? It goes up. Right. You're telling me that an older vagina is less dangerous. Quite a searing indictment of the show, isn't it, really? I don't think it's a searing indictment of the vagina. Don't it, really? I think it's a searing indictment of the vagina.

Don't you dare. It starts losing its toxicity. It is a powerful machine. It's a powerful machine. Don't get me wrong. Self-cleansing. You are not going to find a bigger fan of the fan than this guy right here. Well, congratulations to you, podcast listeners.
