I am back in the studio. Yes, I am. Feeling good? Um, I've felt better, but I'm okay. How was it compared to round one? Not as... Not as compared to round one? Not as... Not as bad as round one. Okay. I don't think.

Close, but not as bad. So you're at two. The first couple of days was just like, oh, this is what everybody who thinks it's just the cold must have had. And then three and four knocked you. Smashed me. Yeah, right. So you're at two.

I've had two. You're still... I'm one. One. But I reckon... I mean, I reckon I've got it now, you know. I've taken so many rat tests since you tested positive on, like I'd say maybe eight.

We're back. We're back on the rat test. We're back on the rats. My nausea hurts. I got to the point where I could do them in the throat without gagging. And you know, my gag reflex is terrible. So that just shows practice makes perfect. Doesn't it? Motto of life, isn't it?

Maybe it's just all the wine that's caught up with you. So the histamines in the wine. Yeah, yeah. And the jib dust. Yeah. All the Reno dust. Yeah. You could have jib vid.

I'll do a bit of jib vid. COVID, but with jib dust. Jib, jib vid, jib vid. We've got a bit of jib vid. COVID, but with jib dust. Jib vid. Jib vid. We've got the top six on the way. Yeah, our passport. Our lovely New Zealand passport. Me with this black cover.

Slick black cover. And not centre fern. That gets me. That's off centre. That's so annoying. Well, it's no longer in the top ten world's most powerful passports. We always had a passport. We always had a cracking passport.

Is it because of the unscented fern? It's the unscented fern. It's pissed off too many people. A lot of the top six ways we as a nation have to rebuild our passports. Sexy reputation. All right. There is a video that is like circulating endlessly online at the moment

It's a resurface video of an interview that Lizzo did while she was listening to music and she had a question for us Why do people not like Nickelback? I feel like Nickelback gets way too much s*** I think that this is a jam Love what I really am It has a beautiful climax.

Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight. Climax. I like you. The beat drop out. I mean, she's loving it. I mean, Nickelback do get a lot of hate, but that song was massive at the time, right?

Huge. Would that have been a number one? Absolutely. How You Remind Me. Was that the one from the, what about the one from the, there was one that was on the Spider-Man soundtrack. That's right. Most people's first introduction to Nickelback.

So Nickelback, How You Remind Me came out in 2001 in July. Charts, Australia, number two. Yeah, huge. New Zealand. It's had 750 million streams on Spotify. Number four in New Zealand. In fact, just looking down the chart position, it was top five in most countries.

Yeah, which for like a rock, rockish song, it's pretty impressive. Yeah. And there's no doubt that... But the thing is, it's like, it's not that we deny that the songs were good at the time. It's like, everyone hates them now. Yeah. And it's like, they're like a parody of themselves.

They are almost like a parody. Yeah. Yeah. So this is now going online and everyone's sharing it being like a parody of themselves. They are almost like a parody. Yeah. So this is now going online and everyone's sharing it being like, you know what? Yeah, these guys rule. They're on tour. If you want to see them in Quebec,

Nickelbacks Get Rollin' Tour coming this June. Let's not forget, he was married to Avril Lavigne. Yeah. And now Avril Lavigne is with... Agena. Tiger. Tiger, right? Tiger, who was with Kylie. Yeah.

Who was a Jenna. When I was young, when I used to go out to town, my friend's dad used to pick me up and drop me home. Yeah. Like a good dad. Was your friend there as well? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

You used to pick us up from town. It didn't necessarily sound like she was there. Yeah, no, no, sorry, just said it. You just picked us up from town. It didn't necessarily sound like it. Yeah, no, no, sorry, just to clarify. And because we were like these little emo kids, he used to be like, I'll play the rock music for the kids. And he'd always blast Nickelback. And we'd be like these boozed teenagers in the back, like, ah-ha! Do you know there was a student in Finland

who did their PhD on why people hate Nickelback. Really? Went through 14 years of bad reviews. Yeah. And concluded that the group suffers from an authenticity deficit. That basically, to put it plainly, they lack originality and they are a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. And then even Chad Kro, who was the lead singer, he was like, I think I know where it went wrong for us.

He said, we write so many different kinds of music. I think if you're listening to a radio station anytime between 2000 and 2010, we were kind of tough to get away from and people got over us. Yeah. They were like, they were like, this song here, the number one Billboard song of the year in

2001. But has he commented on Lizzo's comments? Yes, he did. So then he shared the post and said, thank you at Lizzo for the kind words. Open invite any show, any time. Maybe see you in Houston this summer. Could you at Lizzo for the kind words. Open invite any show, any time. Maybe see you in Houston this summer.

Could you imagine Lizzo... Colab? And a Nickelback. She could actually make them cool again. I'm assuming that'd have to help her sing one of her songs because she really didn't know the words to this. No, yeah. Okay, would you rather listen to Nickelback for the rest of your life

or Creed for the rest of your life? I mean, Creed has more of a positive message from our Lord and Saviour Jesus. Yeah, but let's not forget he got caught on that tour bus. It's just not having hearing an option. Deaf? Deaf or deaf? Do I choose deaf or deaf? Okay, wait, wait, wait.

Put it in there. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little po Silly little po It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little po Silly little po Silly Little Pole. If it's on the street, is it okay to put your rubbish in the neighbour's bin?

So your neighbour's bin is out on the street pre-rubbish collection. Yeah, because there's a difference, right? You shouldn't post-collection. No. No post-collection. No, that's terrible. So it's out. It's about to be taken away.

They've got some real estate in there. Top it up. Ours is always the recycling. Like. Of course it is. Yeah. You know when your recycling bin's full. Yeah.

And you know it's going to be two weeks and you've got more recycling. Are you collapsing your cardboard boxes? Yeah, always. Or are you just chucking them in be two weeks and you've got more recycling. Are you collapsing your cardboard boxes? Yeah, always. Or are you just chucking them in willy-nilly? Always. Okay. Yeah. I'm just thinking about how to save some room in that recycling bin.

You could smash all those wine bottles, but then that's a... You could smash them and then they're harder to recycle. I had a wine glass explode in my hand when I was drying the dishes. Oh, what? I put my hand in the glass. I wasn't even putting pressure on it. I literally just put the... And it went...

Oh, but you don't know your own strength sometimes. That is true. Yeah. Especially these hands. You're so strong with your man hands. From the weak sausage fingers to, you know, now just. He'd be lucky to fit two fingers in a champagne glass with those big man fingers. Yeah, he would be lucky.

He would be lucky. He'd be very lucky. If it's on the street, is it okay to put your rubbish in your neighbour's bin? 65% of respondees said yes. 35% said no. Also, everyone around our house has got their rubbish out today, but am I correct in saying it'll be tomorrow because of the public holiday at the start of the week? No, they collected on public holidays.

Not at our ways. Not at our ways. Last Friday, Good Friday, they collected it on the Saturday. Not at our ways. Not at our ways. Because last Friday, good Friday, they collected it on the sat-de. Yeah, so it's sat-de. I think it'll be a sat-de rubbish day. The thing is, it's not your bin. It's collectively everybody's bin. Because we all pay the rates, right?

Or we all rent another. No, we pay for our bin. Do you? We don't. We pay for our bin. Yeah, but you're rural and you're not the exception. Oh, yeah, no one's really putting. And I don't mind if someone was walking past and their dog did a turdy

and they picked it up. They wouldn't because it's the country. They'd leave the turd exactly where it fell out of the butthole. But if they picked it up, I wouldn't mind that they put it in the bin. Yeah. Because they put a bag in it, though. But in the city, if there's room, chuck it in. Who cares?

Oh, my God, I do it. And then I got caught. Like, a few weeks ago, I got caught putting rubbish into my opposite across the road neighbour. And I was like, Brendan, I'm just putting this rubbish in your bin. He was like, all good. Brendan's cool. That went well.

Brendan's cool, man. He's in the 65% that doesn't mind. Bren. Rachel said, our rubbish isn't included in our rates. We pay for our collection, so I'm not paying for somebody else to throw their rubbish away. But what does it matter if you've got it in your space?

Yeah, you're paying for the whole bin to be taken and the bin's not full. They don't weigh it. It's called charity. Yeah. It's a bit of charity. Yeah, and you know, I'm very charitable.

Rubbish is rubbish. When out walking the dog, I use people's bins to dispose of poop and happy for others, they're the same to mine. It shouldn't matter, says Bronwyn. Yeah, but I wouldn't be happy if someone put a dog poo in my

bin and then I wheeled it in for the week and then there's a stinky string. Yeah, you don't put it in an empty bin. Don't put it in an empty bin because it does fester, it does stink. Especially if you're buying those compostable bags. Because they're going to eat through them. The doggy poo will eat through it. Oh my god, I bought those

compostable rubbish bin liners and they're rubbish. They tear and they How many times have you pulled it out of the bin? And it's like started decomposing I'm like, I'm going back to normal plastic. Oh no. I still use them. We still use them. Oh yeah, same.

You use the big black ones, don't you? I know. I use the medium. They're on a big white roll. I think they're glad. But are they made of cornstarch? I just think they're made of... I thought those were cornstarch ones.

Well, they're better than those other recyclable ones. The green ones. The green ones. The greeny brown ones? Yeah. Rubbish. That's what we use. Chop, chop, chop.

I also think the green ones Don't stand up to that thing Everyone does to the rubbish one Where it's full And you just punch it Yeah You punch it So you've got some more room

Rather than dealing with it At the time You're like Take this bin Squash And it rips it I'm sorry I just sniffed right

Into the microphone That's attractive Hannah said If yours is full And theirs is out and mostly empty, why the hell not? Yeah, do it.

Why the hell not? Alice, no. Oh, here we go. This is a long one. The amount of times my neighbours did this was annoying because it meant

I couldn't use the bin if it wasn't collected because they'd filled it with their crap. Why wouldn't the bin not be collected? Well, that's on you for not having your bin out

in time. I now have a passive-aggressive note taped to my bin saying, don't be a dick, and it solved the problem. I feel like you're a little bit the dick. Yeah, you're the dick. You pass-hagged a bin. You're the dick. You're the dick.

That's like the kid in class that loses their mind about something and everyone's like, whoa, your reaction was significantly worse than the incursion. Than what happened, yeah. Only if the lid

can still fully close, said Hayley. And that's fair. Yeah, fair. That's fair. If it leaves the lid ajar. Or you can't put like an old,

you know, microwave in there or something. Amy says, it's actually illegal. If you look up the bylaws for waste in your region,

it says it's an offence. Who's going to get you? The trash police? Yeah, there's cops lurking in the bushes every rubbish day. Gotcha! Off to jail with you. And Alicia says only if it's pre-collection, not after it's been emptied,

and especially not if the rubbish is any sort of fecal matter. I think that's a good summation of everything we've just said, isn't it? Yeah. I feel like we're all on board. I think we're all on the same page apart from Passag Note Dick. Passag Note Dick. Yeah.

And also 35% of people Passag Note Dick used to be my name in high school but it was because my penis had a passive-aggressive note on it. So passive-aggressive. Yeah. Don't touch this.

It's mine. Bring your own penis If you want some penis Next on the show We're going to differ slightly Than our planned programme We're going rogue This may appear different

Than what's in your TV guide And TV listings Oh my god what's happening But we will soon return To your regularly scheduled programme Yeah Shannon at the social media desk Shanalette Pyjamas

Who is in charge of social media desk, Chanelette Pyjamas, who is in charge of social media, has, it appears, just fallen for a scam. Oh my God. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. There's like a tomato seed in my phone. Look.

Ew. I'm so manky. That's what happens when you roll around in the fruit and veg, fruit and veg skippin'. She loves it. It's her kink. We'll talk about that later.

Let's go to the social media desk where at this early hour, someone's fallen for a scam. Yeah. Oh my God. I love when we hear in our ears, oh my God, guys. We were just about to go

into Scylla Little Pole and she's like, oh my God, guys, I think I've been scammed. Which one did you fall for? Road toll. Road toll? Oh, that's weird. So basically my car is still registered to my dad

because I'm under 25 and, you know, there's an advantage. Yeah, I wouldn't have said that on the radio, but go ahead. Everybody does it. So my mum texts me and she's like, hey, you went through a road toll and didn't pay it. We got told, do you mind paying it? And I was like, yeah, of course. What road toll? Did you say, hold on, where did I go that was a road toll and didn't pay it we got told, do you mind paying it? And I was like, yeah, of course it's not your... What road toll? Did you say

hold on, where did I go that was a road toll? There's literally, what, two in the whole country? Tauranga and the tunnel? Up north in Auckland? Upon reflection it did say I did it last week when I have worked indeed full time at ZE Wait, so you just think as you're heading home on whatever motorway

that they've just chucked a toll on you. I don't know. I didn't think it's early. And I was putting up some social media content on FVHZM. Don't blame us. No, I'm sorry. I was just doing my job. Yeah.

And so I just was like, oh, I'll just quickly pay it. I chucked in my details. Oh, God. The worst thing is I even sent the link to my best friend saying, don't open this. I'm just opening this on my computer because it's not letting me pay on my phone. Oh, my God. So I tried to pay twice.

Oh, my God. I then just paid on my laptop and I then get a text from my bank. On the work laptop? On the work laptop. Oh, they'll make us do those videos again. Yeah, and then I put in the details. My bank's text me saying, uh-oh, I think you've fallen for a scam, hon. You're bankly. That I put in the details. My banks text me saying uh-oh, I think you've fallen for a scam, hon.

Your bank, that's good of the bank. My bank texts me any time I make a new transfer. They're like, you want to do this? Oh yeah, through the app. It's like, confirm, confirm. So I've just transferred all my money to my best friend in a panic. So I just transferred her thousands of dollars. But they won't have your

bank account. Oh wait, humble brag? Humble brag. Thousands is in like two. I've literally just transferred her thousands of dollars. But they won't have your bank account. Oh, at Humblebrag? Humblebrag. Thousands, I didn't like two. I've literally just transferred her like short of a million dollars. Yeah. But now... I got confused on how many zeros it had. Yeah.

I'm a bit nervous though because we're trying to freeze my card. I say we, the whole producing team is helping me out here. Yeah. I tried to freeze my card and it's not letting me and it's saying that I don't have any cards

to freeze. Yeah, they've taken control. You no longer have your, you own your money. I'd check in with your boyfriend because they might have him already. Has he done a runner? No, the scammers have absolutely.

In fact, how do we know that you're the original Shannon? We've got no proof of that. She could be scamming. She could be phishing us. Yeah. Right now. In fact, how do we know that you're the original Shannon? We've got no proof of that. Oh, that's true. She could be scamming. Yeah. She could be phishing us. Yeah.

Right now. With another skin over her body. Yes. Well, you guys did win a Shein giveaway. Did I tell you about that? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Those bloody tags.

So what information did you give them? Oh, everything. Oh, my gosh. Listen, we know I'm not the most competent at some things. And when it comes to cars, as we know, I leave some lights on in the dash. So when they tell me to pay something, I just said, oh, okay, checks out. Good thing you're pretty, Shannon. That's what I'll say.

Good thing she's pretty, you know. Well, good luck with this journey. Three toll roads in the entire country. Where's the other one? Two in Tauranga. Oh, so two. Yeah, there's two. There's the Tauranga Eastern Link and the Tauranga Takatimu Drive.

Okay. And the Auckland Northern Gateway. Yeah. Right. Well, don't fall for these scams. Excuse me, can the South Island please have a toll? Or Wellington have a toll? Why is the Upper North doing all the TV lifting with the tolls?

Yeah, I mean, it wasn't on my commute from Remy Ware. It's certainly nowhere near it. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello, good morning. The New Zealand passport now ranks 17th amongst most powerful in the world.

This is a four from Grace Russ. I don't think you even get a medal for 17th. No. What colour would that medal be? You know? It would be a ribbon or a certificate that would say, New Zealand participated. So, seventh equal in the 2023 Henley Passport Index rankings earlier this year.

And the one that I said we were third in is the Arton Capitals Passport Index. Oh, yeah. But this is the Global Citizen Solutions List. It takes into account just how many countries grants that passport visa-free access, but they also have ease of doing business, quality of life, and investment opportunities. Okay, so it takes into account a lot of things. So it's one of many passport advances, but we're not in the top 10 on this one. And we've fallen back because of the lack of investment opportunities, is that right?

Well, that's what it reads like in this one, yeah. Quality of life, ease of doing business. Is that like when the government or the government that issues these passports will just turn a blind eye to rich people? Oh, yeah, maybe. To rock in. Yeah, right. The top five, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, United States, and Germany is number one.

Those figures are always at the top of every list, aren't they? Is the UK on the list? Because I've got one of those passports too. UK's seven. Do you? Yeah. Because he's an Israeli spy. Oh, that's right.

I'm in Israel. I've got like heaps of different passports. And they're all in a safe, so if I need to leave quickly, I just take whatever one. Be boop, be boop. The other thing people don't realise about this show, Fletch is an Israeli spy and I'm from the Palestinian forces. Yeah.

Here you are seeing two people. An unlikely friendship. I'm not waiting into that. Whose people are out in loggerheads? I'm not waiting into that whole thing. We're working it out. Yeah, we are. Mono e mono.

Yeah. It's a beautiful thing to witness. It's a beautiful thing. Neither the Israeli nor any Palestinian passports in the top ten. No. The top six ways to sexy up our passport. Number six on the list. Let's get back in the top ten. No. The top six ways to sexy up our passport. Number six on the list. Let's get back into the top ten.

Number six, centre the fern. I know you've got a problem with the fern. Every time I pick up my passport, this fern isn't centred. I don't think I've ever noticed that. Have you never noticed that? No. I'll show you.

I've got the fern. It's a design thing. Centre. Because you can't see the spine of the fern. That's your problem, right? So the problem is the fern takes up too much space so the New Zealand and the logo isn't centred. It's off to the side.

And also, it's not the centre of the fern because you can't see. You'll be familiar with how a fern... The spine. You can't see the spine of the fern. Oh, yeah, so everything's shuffled. Terrible design. Which then pushes the coat of arms off centre.

Why have you done this? Now I'll never be able to unsee this. I know, I know. I'll never travel overseas again. Mark my words. I will not be picking this thing up. I'll burn it. Wait till the next barley special pops up.

You'll be strapped. Is there a barley specialist there? Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Padding it out, padding it out. Number five on the list of the top six ways to sexy up our passport. Let us have a sexy little smirk in the photos. Yes. Oh, my God.

My daughter said the riz is just a facial expression, but the riz is using your charisma. Yeah. Oh, the riz. The riz. Give them the riz is just a facial expression But the riz is using your charisma Yeah Oh the riz The riz Give them the riz Because then I saw a video Where the guy riz'd the whole family

Okay.

Is this going to be possible or should we just move on? Well, I mean, I can't guarantee these things. I'll try my best. I can guarantee it. Won't you say that's a bit of a smirk? Oh my God,

put your leg on! Put your leg on! I told you! Oh wow. But I've got a slight smirk. Is it? Oh, it's just the way the photo, I thought you were on a bit of a...

That's big. Russian sleeper cell in America in the 1980s. You're on a communist watch list. It does. I thought it was just the way that the photo

has been taken. I thought that you were all on a bit of a slant. You're a bit warped, but it's a photo of the passport on an angle, right? Do you know the sexiest

passport? I saw someone in line in front of me once in immigration with one of these. The Swiss passport North Korea Swiss

Because you were looking for the Satisfier charger, weren't you? The charger, yeah. God, on my week off, I really wore the battery out on that thing. So I was looking to charge it. Whatever, it was just a little treasure trove.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six ways to sexy up our passport leads to clear war on somebody. Because the top on this list was one, Germany. Two, United States.

And then a whole bunch of peace-loving bloody Scandinavian losers. But the other top two. Let's focus on the top two. Number three on the list of the top six ways to sexy up our passport. Let's make it smaller.

Oh, yeah. Smaller. A passportette. Yeah. Le passporter. A passportette. Yeah. Yes, a passportette. We're so close to not even needing one. They'll just scan you what they said, your heartbeat or your eyes. Yeah, that's what the heartbeat. Fingerprints.

Number two on the list of the top six ways to sexy up a passport. Let's make it bigger. Oh, like A4. Yeah. Like one of those. Absolutely buck the trend of everything you've explored. Yeah, like an obnoxious leaving card that everybody's freshening. Yes. Yes. You'll never lose that.

And number one on the list of the top six ways to sexy up our passport. Let's give it a sexy smell. No one's doing a scratch and sniff passport. Oh my God, like grape. Grape. Yeah, like artificial grape flavor. Like hubba bubba grape, like a grape thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you scratch, scratch the passport. Mmm. Mmm. Yeah, it's good stuff. I was thinking something slightly sexier than artificial grape, but okay, we can settle on grape now. I was thinking of a potpourri. Oh, yes. I was thinking of a Glade lavender spray for the toilet. Great, yeah.

Lavender's a classic scent. Oh, a beautiful scent that is not at all now intrinsically tied to poos. Yep. Yes, poos is lavender. Poos is lavender. Yep. Lavender is poos. It's the nice top six.

I've already got in my sort of basket of subscriptions. I've got Apple TV. I've got Prime. Yep. I've got Apple TV. I've got Prime. Yeah. I've got Neon. I've got Netflix. I've got Disney. Yeah.

Chucking a YouTube premium. I don't have YouTube premium. I've just got an illegal ad blocker. Nice. Nice. Nice. It's free, baby. So when you add all of those up,

you are looking at like what people would pay for Sky. Yeah, like a Hyundai at least. Yeah. And no sport. And still no sport. Because that's what? Spark Sport, chuck that on.

That's the on-demand sport. Oh, no. And I've got NBA. I've got the NBA subscription. How many NBA games are you watching? I've tapped out a little bit. Yeah. Ryan, probably cancel that one.

Nah. With the cost of living and, you know, money being so obviously tapped out a little bit. Yeah, Ryan probably cancelled that one. Nah. With the cost of living and you know, money being so tight at the moment. Yeah. One thing you want to probably do

is just alternate. Like do one and just binge everything on that platform. That's what my friends do. And then go to the next platform. Yeah, I know.

And do that. Yeah, but it's just easy to let them like run. We've also got the Formula One. So if you add that, we've got seven. Me and Aaron collectively have seven subscriptions, and now I'm going to have eight because Max is coming to New Zealand, as in HBO Max.

Yeah, so they just had a rebrand this week, right? And they were bought by someone else? Were they bought by Discovery? Warner Brothers, yeah. Warner Brothers. Which is Discovery. HBO Max. Warner Brothers, yeah. Warner Brothers. Which is Discovery. HBO Max. Warner Brothers, Time Warner.

Right. And so it was HBO Max and now it's HBO. But then we also, all of our HBO stuff has always been on Neon. Yeah, I know. Because Neon have the rights in New Zealand. I know, so is Neon going to take a dip? Or are they just, when their deals end, stuff will just start disappearing from Neon going to take a dip? Or are they just, when their deals end, stuff will just start disappearing from Neon?

Because there's a few shows at the moment that are on multiple streaming platforms. You'll get the first two seasons on something, and then the other four seasons are on another platform because they've got the rights. Yeah, I was on Three Now or something like that, and I saw an advertisement for something that's on Netflix, and I was like, huh, you've got it as well.

But Max, because they announced yesterday a whole bunch of new shows, including a Harry Potter show that people are planning on boycotting because JK Rowling is involved. Is a TERF and she's involved. Also The Conjuring, a series. Don't need it.

Don't watch it. Terrifying. Not for me. Really? No a series. Don't need it. Don't watch it. Terrifying. Not for me. Really? No, don't need scary. If they stop making scary movies tomorrow, I'd be absolutely fine. Yeah. Also announced from Max was another Game of Thrones prequel.

So do you reckon this will be part of the House of Dragon? I was just reading the other day, they've only just started filming House of Dragons Season 2 like two days ago they started. Oh, God. I was like, come on, that ended like a year ago? No, when? I don't know.

Mid last year? Mid last year. It was nearly mid this year. Like, come on, start again. Start the next one. Their announcement said a century before Game of Thrones, there was Sir Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. Egg!

Egg! I saw it yesterday, the synopsis for it. I was like, that's a piss sake. Egg. His squire's Egg. Oh. But the squire is called Sir Duncan the Tall. Well, even though House of Dragon was a bit all over the show,

it still was massive. I really enjoyed being back in that world. I liked it. I thought it was great. Also, the new original series, The Penguin, as in from the Batman universe. That's Colin Farrell. Apparently it looks incredible.

The Conjuring I could do without. I'm going to say I could do without that. But have they said the prices for New Zealand? No. I saw the prices for America and I was like, not cheap. But then it's all the HBO stuff, so you do pay a premium. Yeah.

But I think, yeah, depending on whether you've got the HD and the 4K or whatever. Yeah, and how many laptops and all that kind of stuff. No, I don't. Oh, Max would provide it. the tiered pricing would range between. Oh, it's tiered pricing. So that's what you say. US $10 and $20.

US. Yeah. So probably starting around 20. It's comparable to Netflix. Yeah. Netflix is expensive. It's like 26 bucks now. 25 bucks.

Yeah, dude. Well, it's expensive, but now 25 bucks yeah dude well yeah it's expensive but you also have about 17 streaming services yeah I know you need to sort that out it's

I bet which one do I get rid of Prime I haven't watched anything on there for a while if you haven't watched stuff then yeah tap out

well I know but I might want to and then what hang on Netflix I know we'll leave you with some life admin I just want to see I just want to see then what? Hang on. Netflix. I know. We'll leave you with some life admin. I just want to see how much I'm paying.

Yeah, it's like $24. Yeah, $24.99. Yeah. That's too much. Isn't your mum got a login? No, no, no. She's using my login. Are you allowed to do that now?

Should I get her to chip in? Yeah, get her to chip in. Yeah, I haven't been given the... You haven't been given the ultimatum. ...home base thing. Okay. Yeah, I'm willy-nilly. So if anyone wants one, I'm paying for all of this. You might as to chip in. Yeah, I haven't been given the... You haven't been given the ultimatum....home base thing. Okay. Yeah, I'm willy-nilly. So if anyone wants one, I'm paying for all of this.

You might as well cash in. You might as well jump on board. Have a go at it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I didn't know this was happening to everyone, but my... Ah! Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God.

That was big. Do you still have COVID? Should we have... Wow, that was just like... I just breathed in and it was like, it's happening. And that's why I went, ah. Because I had to like get some more air in because it was all going to come out.

Should we have a Perspex screen in front of us? Well, I don't know. I did the seven days isolation. I followed the government mandates, man. You also don't test negative for ages sometimes after COVID. Okay, well. I've got self-di for ages sometimes after COVID. Yeah. Okay, well. I've got self-diagnosed COVID as well.

Because the tests, all eight of them that I've done, are lying. I've got it. Right. I think you'll just run down from all the booze, to be honest. Just run down. Just run down. She's just run down. Anyway, my Instagram daily has just been blowing up.

And not with compliments and nice things. With freaking Shein posts that I'm tagged in, giveaways, and then they're just like BS accounts that only have this post, this giveaway thing. Did you have this? No. But this is also like all that time everyone was whinging about ads on Instagram and I was like, I don't get them. The minute I said it, I got it.

Well, welcome to the world of Shein posts. So I ordered forks from them, spoons that look like little shovels. That's right, you did. Now, does that exclude me because I've purchased from them? They're like, he's all right. So I'm not getting DMs. I just get tagged in posts. Yes.

And a lot of people are getting tagged in the posts. But that comes in your inbox as well sometimes. And you're like, get away from me. And then I instantly like block them. Yeah, same. And report it as spam. Same. But then the next day there's like three or four more accounts.

And this is happening, I believe, in the producer's booth as well. Carween, Shanalette. Oh, my gosh. I had six yesterday. So you've been tagged in a post. Yeah. Are there any news stories about it? Because I can't find anything.

Instagram users, here you go, Daily Mail. Instagram users being bombarded with tags from bots posing as Shein with fake Shein gift cards to lure victims into putting in their credit card details. Now, if you missed this earlier this morning, our social media producer, Shanalette Pajamas, has just been scammed. Yeah.

You got a fake scam for a road toll. Yeah, for last week, even though my commute is seven minutes in Auckland CBD, and I fell for it. Not one of New Zealand's three road tolls, north of Auckland, or Bay of Plenty based. She's a dum-dum. Right.

But people are falling for this. Yeah. Oh, my God. It lures people into providing bank account details and subscribing them to the site. They're offering gift cards between $25 and $2,000, and they're just tagging, tagging, tagging. It's like, they're just tagging. They're, tagging. It's like, they're just tagging.

They're just tagging. So annoying. Stop it. Right, but is there any way like... Just keep reporting it as scamming. Just keep reporting it. I got a message from my old neighbour who said, I just saw on your show thing about the Sheen tags. You can go settings,

privacy, mentions and turn tags off. But then can your friends tag you if you're out? Maybe with your approval, perhaps. But then you're still going through the Sheen. Maybe you can pick Sheen. Settings, privacy, mentions. Oh, no, because it's not Sheen's account doing it.

It's a random bunch of spammy accounts. Yeah, you can't. You can't. You can also remove yourself from being tagged in the Shein post. Yeah, but that's like once you, yeah, you can, but then that post is done, isn't it? And they just start a new account.

A burner account. Yeah. I've blocked a lot of accounts. So you could probably just turn off all random tags by the looks of it, but then, yeah, your friends probably won't be able to tag you in. I got tagged on one about,

you got tagged, You have a chance to win an iPhone for free. That's not real. Oh, man, what have I got to lose? I still haven't heard back from Sandy at the Apple Help Center about my phone. Are you kidding me? Are you serious?

He's just gone dark. I've sent three emails saying, could you please contact me? I need details. Why don't you just ring the call centre? Because they can't talk. There's no number. They have to call me. There's no number to call Sandy. It was only an email. Well, just call anyone at the

call centre. I did this last time and he's like, I can't see what she promised or what she said in her thing. It's a privacy thing between departments. I hate this for you. I hate it. I told you that Sandy died at three bonus skis. Well, that's because she was skiing in summer and there was no

and I said to her, you'll be lucky to see the other side of that black diamond ski run when there's zero snow on it. Unbelievable. Oh well. I'm going to chase that up again today. Next on the show. Oh, I'm so livid. I'm thinking about going to Samsung. How embarrassing for you. Next on the show, final, I'm so livid. I'm thinking about going to Samsung. No.

How embarrassing for you. Yeah. Next on the show, final rankings. Are we really doing this? Yeah, we're going to rank forms of contraception. I feel like Vaughn and I. After we had a chat yesterday about long, what do you call it? Slow release drugs. And I was thinking it's great for contraception.

Everyone was like, Hayley, there already is one of those. And then we got talking about contraception. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. It's the final rankings. Well, today for final rankings, normally we go food. Today, though, and we got talking about this yesterday. We're going to do today's final rankings. Favourite contraceptive methods. rankings. Favourite contraceptive methods.

Yeah. Favourite contraception. Favourite forms of contraception. Obviously, this usually falls on the female contraception heavily. We were Googling different types of contraceptions. LAM, lactation amenorrhea method. Now, amenorrhea means you don't get your period. Yeah. Lactation Amenorrhea Method. Now, amenorrhea means you don't get your period.

Yeah. Lactation, obviously, is like breastfeeding. So it's a way of like continuing breastfeeding as a means of temporarily preventing pregnancy. Oh.

Must be done correctly to work. Lactation means your body is making breast milk and amenorrhea means you're not having a monthly period. So you're like, get in here, eight-year-old.

Or do you want a little brother? Breast feeding hormones may stop your body from releasing eggs. You can't get pregnant if you don't release an egg. That cannot be very reliable, though. You see people all the time, right, who just had a baby and then they get pregnant. And they're like, how did this happen? Yeah. Wow.

Well, we got talking yesterday about a new technology, slow release medication. So you get an injection. Yes. For say, example, for a pill you'd have to take every day and it releases it like slowly every day. Super slow release. Super slow. Someone mentioned to me that that already exists.

The injection. That's different because that's giving you one injection that stops something for three months, right? Yeah. This gives you dosages of medication every day. It's a new technology.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's still on the experimental phases. So on my little graph we've got implants which is like the rod. Oh, I remember girls

used to get this in high school and you could feel it under the skin. Yeah. Look, I'll be honest, Hayley, I feel out of my depth here. I've, I feel like, I don't have any. So you just leave it to the skin. Look, I'll be honest, Hayley. I feel out of my depth here. I feel like I don't have any... So you just leave it to the woman?

Yeah. Wow. Yeah, go on with your list. Implants, vasectomy, female sterilization, like tubes tied, and IUD. Why is it vasectomy sounds like far less harsh than female sterilization? Yeah. Thank you, Paul. And it is significantly harder to reverse female sterilization than Yeah. Thank you. And it is significantly harder

to reverse female sterilization than it is vasectomies. I guess if you weren't still with that partner and that you had kids and then you were a mum on your own and you didn't want to have any more kids, you can't make the man. Yeah. So those are the top four most effective.

Under that is the injectable, the breastfeeding thing. It's quite high up on the... Really? effective. Under that is the injectable, the breastfeeding thing. It's quite high up on the... Really? Yeah. And pills, and that's because of human error. You just forget to take them.

Then underneath is male condoms. Because mine's too big, it doesn't fit. Female condoms. Never heard of them. Never even seen them in the shop. The diaphragm, which is like a little disc

that you like... Can't go past the classics. Insert. You can't, you know, go past the shop. The diaphragm, which is like a little disc that you insert. You can't go past the wall. Does it go up the side? Can it go up the side? It can. That's why the diaphragm's not a perfect solution.

It's like the Great Wall of China. It only goes into the sea like a tiny little bit. You can just walk around it. You can walk around it. Or if you've got some absolute hordes of charging Mongolians, they will eventually get on that wall. Mine as well. Hordes of charging Mongolians. Yes. They will eventually get on that wall. Mine as well. Hordes of charging Mongolians.

100%. Yes. I'm also in the same line as condoms. Genghis Khan! That's what you say at the point. That's what I say at climax. Genghis Khan! Genghis Khan!

Sade's like, oh. Mongolian warlords! Do you know, on the same level of effectiveness as condoms is the fertility awareness method, so where you take your temperature in the morning. And I've tried this. You chart it through the month, right? You chart it through the month,

and if your temperature goes above this certain amount... Ovulation. You're ovulating, don't have sex. That's how a lot of people plan out what they have sex with. And then least effective is spermicide and the withdrawal method. Oh wow. Okay, so with all of that in mind The official name of it, coitus interruptus

on this birth control website I'm on. With all of that in mind, now rank your top three favourite contraceptives. Well, they all suck to be honest. I'm no... Are we going for, like, full stop? Not again?

Because the pill and condoms as a team... Oh, you're doubling. He double bags, too. Oh, my God. He's got two Connie's inches on the pill. And there's an unexpected item in the bagging area. Yeah. Or is there?

A Gingous con! It's because it's too light. It doesn't register on the bagging area. Yeah. Or is there? A Gingham's card! It's because it's too light. It doesn't register on the store's scales. It's like featherweight. Oh, dude. And then some lady from Countdown has to come into your bedroom and do the supervisor code. Sir, place the item on the scale. It is.

It's not detecting it, sir. You're lying to me here. No, it is. Place the item on the scale. It's there. It's not detecting it, sir. You're lying to me here. No, it is. Place the item on the scale. It's there. It's just small. Gig as can. For me, I'm going to go the pill is my number one, only because there's so many

varieties of it, and it takes a bit of time, but you can find one that works for you. Hopefully. Yes, man. Some cannot. The pill. Oh, we didn't talk about Just not having sex That's probably the most That's my number one

That will That will Abstinence for our Lord Jesus We know that you're not Keying on it Two Just play with yourself And three

Just play with yourself Just don't have So don't have sex Play with yourself And just don't have sex Yeah I'm gonna go with the pill I'm gonna go with the breastfeeding one

Yeah That's wild And I'll go with the pill. I'm going to go with the breastfeeding one. Yeah. That's wild. And I'll go with the vasectomy because it doesn't impact me. You've got to go with vasectomy. Vasectomy's got to be number one, but it's written in stone. Well, it can be undone, but it's very expensive. What are they, $500 to get done, $10,000 to reverse? Yikes.

That's an expensive pill. And old Vaughn here, he still won't do it. He's scared. I was going to get it done Anzac weekend. Where? do it. He's scared. I was going to get it done Anzac weekend. Were you? I wasn't going to tell you I was going to get it done

Anzac weekend. Why weren't you going to tell us? We wanted to be there. No, I didn't need the emotional support. We want to be there as your friend. We want to pick you up.

But then I got COVID over Easter. Oh, then you're going away now. And then what was happening on Easter is now happening on Anzac. Because I thought a long weekend's perfect for it.

Get it going. Straight off to work on the Friday. Get it done. Have the long weekend's perfect for it. Get it going. Straight off to work on the Friday. Get it done. Have the long weekend to chill. And Zach, perfect. And not tell your best friends. Wow.

Because it was an extra day on the Tuesday. That's crazy. You won't tell your best friends. I want to be there for you, holding your hand, looking down, and witnessing a great moment in your life. Yeah. Sorry. We'll be there.

And then, of course, post-vasectomy, I can't yell, um, Genghis Khan! I have to yell his cheap alternative, Attila the Hun! Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale.

Play ZM. Yesterday, you may have seen this last night, a soft launch, a new podcast. Well, wait, the soft launch was last night. Is this a medium launch?

It's a semi-launch. It's a semi-launch. It's a semi-ish launch. Hard launch is this coming Wednesday. It's a new podcast on the ZM Podcast Network. This is very well planned out, this launch period. Yeah, it is. It's a staggered launch.

It's a staggered launch. Well, it gets people excited, and people were fizzing last night at the announcement. What, two fizzing for a soft launch? You want to save some fizzing for the hard launch? Do you know who was fizzing over the soft launch? It was your wife, and for good reason. I think your whole sex life, Vaughn, is about to change. Thanks to yours truly and friend of the show, somatic sexologist Morgan Penn.

Her and I have a podcast called Sex.Life. And you've been... That's a hard launch, isn't it? She's coming with a hard launch. I don't want to go too hard, but... Well, hard launch Wednesday. We will have Morgan joining us in studio. So that makes it the hard launch.

That's the hard launch, yeah. And then what makes it the hardest launch is we're going to talk to Morgan about the podcast and then you'll immediately be able to listen to it after you finish listening to us when we wrap up at about nine o'clock. So hard launch. Hard launch.

So explain this podcast because this is her second podcast. This is her second podcast. This one is more of a story piece and then at the end, we kind of get into some more kind of general sex advice. But this podcast, it's going to blow your mind. It is not for in the car with the kids listening.

I will say that. Yeah. It follows Morgan Penn, who is a trained sexologist. She works with people on all sorts of things. I'm still an apprentice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, I've put in the hours. I've been doing all my BCITO paperwork.

Just hand stuff. I know you yeah, yeah. God, I've put in the hours. I've been doing all my BCITO paperwork. Just hand stuff. I know you have. So it follows her as she, she basically heard of this underground sex school in rural New Zealand. This sounds like it's in the back of a van.

No, she said it looked like a Harry Potter house, hey, or something. It's like a manor. Yeah, like a manor. It's a giant manor. And she like a manor. A giant manor. And she heard about this place and she had a few red flags

going off, right? She was like, oh my god, what could be happening in this rural town? So as a sexologist who wants to care for people and make sure that things are safe and good, she puts her body on the line and she goes to this sex school. Now, she's one of your best friends, Fletch.

She's told me a lot of stories from this place. And yeah, this podcast is going to be wild. And I'm imagining you're starting to hear a few of them. Yes, we're about halfway through recording them. And each podcast follows a day at sex school and what she gets up to. And I think what she did surprised even herself. I think she, yeah, it's just wild. It's truly one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.

It's got group stuff. It's got nudity. It's got romance. Not nudity. That comes out of anywhere. Yeah. It's got nudity it's got romance not that comes out of anywhere yeah it's got sex nudity on the radio how will i explain this to my children yeah well good luck yeah how will i even well it's not on the radio explain to them that sex can sometimes be for fun it's in podcast form it's in podcast form so it's in podcast form, so it's completely unfiltered, and I really want to emphasize that. And not only will we learn about Morgan's journey, but you will hear some more things about me.

And I feel like I'm pretty unfiltered on this station. However, I've banned my father from listening to it. Oh, wow. Craig's not allowed to listen. Dad, this one's not for you. What about Patsy? Can mum listen? Oh, Patsy can listen.

I mean, dad doesn't want to listen. No offence. Would you want to hear your grown-up? No, no, no, definitely not. But I wouldn't want to be told I wasn't allowed to listen. No, he can listen if he wants. That makes me feel like you've picked a favourite. No, I'm not picking a favourite.

I just think I am my dad's little girl and I am certainly not in this podcast love it but yeah it's out next Wednesday we'll be talking to Morgan about it and you'll be able to listen to

the first episode sex.life yeah and I'll tell you I'll tell you what it's not a soft launch of the story ep 1 is already insane day 1

grab the iHeartRadio app you can follow sex.life the podcastHeartRadio app. You can follow Sex Not Life, the podcast, and as soon as it's available, it'll be there for you to listen. I think you can go in now

and like save it and like there's a countdown and... Exciting stuff. Really excited. So excited to hear this. It's time for the impossible phone-in topic. A topic we think is going to be quite hard to get phone calls for, nay impossible.

Indeed. Now, this comes from a story from America, out of Washington. There is a mother, her name is Sofia Rodriguez. She gave birth to twins. Two lovely twin boys. Identical. Okay. She took them home. Everything was all good.

Took them home. She had a little ribbon around one of their legs so she could identify them. But then the babies grow, as they do, and so she had to cut it off. Then she went in one morning to look after them. She was like, I don't know which one's which. She named them. Yep. You know, they've got their own identities.

What does it matter at that stage? Do a swapsie. If you've got a Greg and a Brian and then you mix them up. They're the same person, aren't they? Yeah, same, same, same, same. So she was just like, I don't know. She posted a photo of them and they're on different angles, but they truly have the exact same body and the exact same face.

They've got no moles, no birthmarks, nothing obvious. They're the same. What about, could you just like pierce one of their ears? Yeah, totally. I think that's quite a common thing with twins. Pierce their little baby ears. No, it's not. Ow! Yeah, people pierce

baby ears all the time. Do they? Yeah, yeah. Some people, in some cultures it's like tradition on birth to get the ears pierced. Oh, I thought you were just joking. they? Yeah, yeah. Some people, some, yeah, in some cultures it's like tradition on birth. Oh, I thought you were just joking. No, no, no. Or in that case, just pierce one of the twins. Yeah, totally. Or just like get a sharpie. Ben, you know, on your back.

This one's Ben. Yeah, I guess so. A little bee on the bottom of the foot. Yeah. So then she was like, oh my god, I'm gonna have to go to the police. She went to the police and was like, I don't know which one of my babies is which one of my babies. The police? Yeah. So then she said'm going to have to go to the police. She went to the police and was like, I don't know which one of my babies is which one of my babies. The police? Yeah. So then she said, tomorrow I have to go to the police so they can fingerprint my twins and tell me which one is which.

I win. Excuse me, I burped. I win Mother of the Year award. And then she did a follow-up post and said, well, we took their prints, but they don't appear in the system. They're babies. Well, of course. You know, the prints only work if you've got their prints from previous crimes. Yes.

She said, we still don't know who was who. And then she posted a photo of the print. I think it's their foot because it's quite big. And they're like, yeah, that didn't work. Also, has this mum just put her kids in the system from like day 30? I know. Just in case my babies commit a crime, here they are. So then she tried the fingerprint thing and that didn't work.

So she doesn't know? I'm just trying to find out. Nope, there's no answer to it. It's an ongoing discovery. I do think if I was ever a twin, I like identical. You just want to mess with people, right? I get up to such ruckus. We had identical twins at our school.

I could never tell them apart, but I think one of them had a mole. Okay. Now, which one had the mole? Right. Did they dress the same? When they were young. What about when they were identical twins and you knew them from when you were, it looked like kids and they looked like identical twins

and then when they got older, one got hotter and you're like, well that's not fair. It's not fair. But then were they gymming more than the other one? I don't know. You're kind of more in control of what your body looks like as an older person. Whether you

work out or eat this way or that way or whatever. But as a baby and as a toddler, like, you just kind of develop organically. The same as your, yeah. So she's got no idea.

Wow. No, she's got two kids. Two lovely, healthy kids. She's got no idea. I don't know. So just pick one. So what would you like to do for the impossible final?

I would like to know if you've ever had a twin mix-up. Maybe you have had the same situation. You're a twin and your parents couldn't tell you apart. How did they mark you? How did they let you know?

Or did you utilise your twinmanship, you know? If you're an identical. Like, did you mess with people? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get your twin to do your driver's licence or your driving test because they're better. Better driver. I would get up to such shenanigans.

And then... Like if your twin had a boyfriend... I was about to say the partner sport. I was going to say the same thing. Because I remember hearing a story about a husband kissing, like going up to the wife. Yeah. And kissing her. And then up to the wife and kissing her, and then the woman pulling away and being like, nope. And it was her sister.

It was the sister. Oh, sure. He knew though, eh? Yeah, he was just trying to get bang for his buck. Well, 0800DARLSATM is our number. Is this the impossible phone number? We want some text messages as well. You can text 9696.

Yeah, have you had a twin mix-up? Either you're a parent of twins, you are twins, or you've just mixed up twins somehow. Maybe you've kissed the wrong twin. We are mid-impossible phone-er because there's a story about a mother who has no idea how to identify her twins and tell them apart. She's been to the police, done fingerprints.

She's like, ah, I give up. So we want to know your twin mix-ups. Yeah, whether you're a twin or parents of twins. Malcolm, you've had a twin mix-up. Yeah, almost 19 years ago, I was a father of twins and day two, I walked

into the home. The boys were there and they were in the wrong beds or cribs. And, yeah, I walked in and I said, they're in the wrong beds. Wait, so you did a swapperoo? That could have lasted for life. I didn't do a swapperoo. The staff did. Oh, my God.

How did you know? How did you know? Did you mark them? Oh, we used to beat one and not the other. Well, it was the 80s, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get away with that. No, I just walked in and there was a pound difference at birth.

So, you know, there. Oh, so one looked smaller. Right. One looked smaller. Well, they were 6 pound 14 and 7 pound 14. So the small one's a normal one now. So they're huge huge babies for twins.

Wow, yeah, yeah, actually. But imagine if they'd been exactly the same. It's like 14, over 14 pounder baby rocking around there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, why it's not big and to the point, 38 weeks someone, a friend came up behind her

and said, oh, how did the birth go? And she turned around and it was just all stomach. It was like, oh. All in the front. All pulled right out. Wow. And if they'd been the same size, your kids to this day would be mixed up. The other person.

There'd be no, there'd. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Because it was, it was injury. Another injury story. We were going to call the first born Jonti and he didn't look like Jonti. And so we called the firstborn Jonti, and he didn't look like Jonti. And so we called the secondborn Jonti, and the first one was Baby Rush for three days.

And because of Rush, we didn't want a one-syllable, well, we didn't want Mark or John, you know, Papa. Yeah, yeah. I walked in day three, and the nurse has said, oh, we've named your son. What? And I said, oh, that's funny, so have I overnight.

Because my wife had a few issues with the birth, so three days she was, would have not with it. Yeah. I walked in, and they said, oh, we've named him Ben. And, you know, it was the one thing we didn't want. And I said, so have I. And it wasn't Benjamin, it was just Ben. Oh, right, the one thing you didn't want, but you'd both have I. And it wasn't Benjamin, it was just Ben. Oh right, the one thing

you didn't want but you'd both agreed on it. Met Rick and the Stars. And the Stars, yeah. Okay Malcolm, thank you for your call. So Ben and Jonty are supposed to be Jonty and Ben and then they were going to be Ben and Jonty but then they became Jonty and Ben. Didn't they have that TV show on Friday nights?

Jonty and Ben? Yeah, they're just across the hall. I'm there on holidays at the hall. I know, I know. Those bloody larrikins. The impossible finding topic, twin mix-ups. A woman in the US has no idea which twin is which. Nah, and I don't think she'll ever find out. Marie, you're a teacher.

This happened to parents that you know. Yeah, it's quite hilarious. So they are always muddling up their two twins, or their twins. And one day, one of them had a pretty nasty tummy bug. And so one of them was allowed to come to the centre, obviously the healthy one. Yeah.

And the other one needed to stay home. So dad comes in, drops off the infectious one and the other one needed to stay home so dad comes in drops off the infectious one by accident and goes on and goes to our house I mean oh my god

in his defence they look the same yeah they're identical they are identical and we turn around while he's going on telling us

oh he's the one's really sick at home we're like but that's the one you brought in and he's like, oh damn. Oh damn.

They did a quick exchange in the car park. Oh my god. Oh, that's brilliant. I've only brought you the healthy ones. How do they tell them apart though? Not very well by the sounds of things. Oh, there's a birthmark that they can tell but when they were little they used to paint their nails

just to tell them apart. That's the most popular thing we've heard from parents of twins. Nail Oh, there's a birthmark that they can tell, but when they were little, they used to paint their nails just to tell them apart. You paint nails. That's the most popular thing we've heard from parents of twins, nail painting from day one. The minute a name's decided on, someone gets their nails painted and it stays that way. Nancy with the nail. Yeah, thanks, Marie. Any more text messages?

Yes. I mixed up my identical twins when they were three weeks old. They're 12 now, and I can't be sure they are who I named them at birth or if I swapped their names over two days and I didn't know who was who. Close enough, though, right? I suppose it doesn't really matter, does it? No. It's a bit of a ball under a cup moving the cups around.

Yeah. Somebody said, I heard when I was in England, there was a set of twins in England. I was over there. I was involved in some cycling and they raced bikes at a national level. One had a broken collarbone but still wanted to ride so the twin brother went to

the medics to pass his fitness test went away, changed the number on his shirt came back, passed it for his twin so his twin could also do the could also do the race even though he wouldn't have passed the fitness test because he had a broken collarbone. And he still did it. Oh, God.

Wow. So many people. Someone just texted saying, I gave my husband's twin a cheeky bum smack once, thinking he was my husband. Little bum. That's all right. Oh, sorry, Grant. Yeah. Where's John?

I'm sure Grant probably didn't mind that at all. I'm sure Grant had a little tickle. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Now, yesterday I think we talked about, was it yesterday maybe? Or the day before, that Aaron has been using my expensive face wash and I wasn't aware. And then we were having a shower and he just picked it up and squeezed a big

I want to say like $30 dollop out and then washed his face and I was like, you've been using that? He was like, yeah man, it's great. I like the rice wash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's wrong with the $7 face, like I've got a $7 face wash from the supermarket.

I said to him yesterday, I said, you know we talked on radio actually that you've been using my Tatcha rice wash. And he was like, I have noticed a significant difference in the quality of my skin from using the expensive one. And then- Vaughn, do you know how expensive this face wash is? It's probably in your shower.

What is it? Tatcha. Is that the brand? Yeah. Tatcha. Tatcha. How's it spelled? T-A-T-C-H-A. Tatcha. Is that the brand? Yeah. Toucha. Toucha. How's it spelled? T-A-T-C-H-A.

Toucha. Have you got that? No, I don't think so. Because this is the Anine Bing of face washers. No, it's not. No, it's not. That's like mid-range. Is it?

Mid-range expensive. No, Anine Bing would just be if someone bought L'Oreal and then put a different sticker on it and then sold it for $1,000. That's how dumb that brand is. I'm pretty sure this is like rice is what this is made out of. But it's beautiful. And then as I was telling him the story, we're in the shower. As I was telling him, we're in the port-a-shower, by the way. Sharing the port-a-shower.

Well, it just makes the awful experience slightly more fun. Sexy. It's by doing them together. How does he fit in it? He's like six foot five. It's part of the fun. Sexy. It's by having them, doing them together. How does he fit in it? He's like six foot five. It's part of the fun. Right. If you're in there alone not fitting, it's like I don't fit in this freaking thing.

If you're in there with a partner not fitting, it's funny. Doing a sneaky wee on their feet. Yeah, I wee'd the other day and he was like, ooh! Carwin's face is just disgusting! You know your relationship's gonna be okay when you can do a sneaky wee On your partner in the shower

And they're like Ah But they don't like Really get angry They're just like Ah I don't think Calvin and her partner

Do that By the look on their face Really not Ryan doesn't have Sneaky wee energy He doesn't have He doesn't have Pash

Like heart out Pash energy Or sneaky wee energy What about Shannon's Magician partner But he does it all the time She never knows She never knows Yeah Yeah probably Cut out Pash energy or sneaky wee energy. What about Shannon's magician partner? But he does it all the time. She never knows.

Yeah, probably. Yeah, I did it the other day. I was like, what? And what? Because we're in the driveway and there's neighbours around, I was like, what, am I supposed to get out and go over to the portal? No. No.

It all ends up in the same spot. He was like, you are gross. Anyway, as I was telling him that we were laughing about the fact he was using my expensive face wash, he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he'd finished washing his hair. He was like, oh, yeah, ha, ha, ha. And then he picks up my Olaplex. What's that?

Is that a satisfying? Is that the Swedish satisfying? No, Olaplex conditioner. It's like a hair bonder. It's like well-known for people that particularly dye their hair blonde. It weakens your hair And then the Olaplex Strengthens it

What am I googling? Olaplex shampoo Producers you use this Olaplex I haven't seen Olaplex I do because I'm bleached But Yeah

Oh Vaughn's just googled How much it costs Yeah Only at the salon though I'm not affording that In my shower Yeah This is a $60 conditioner

God being bald Just saves you so much money Oh my god being bald does Although you so much money. Oh, my God. Being bald does. Although you spend a lot on razors. Not as much as this. Not as much. $61 for one bottle of Olaplex shampoo.

So he squirts as he's talking. I was like, oh, my God, what is happening? And he's got more hair than I do. Curly, thick, long hair. And he was just slathering. How big do you think the $61 bottle is, size-wise? A litre or half a litre? One quarter of a litre.

Are you kidding me? 250 mils for $60. But this is your fault. Because you should just buy a bunch of shampoo he can use. I've got delicate, fragile hair. Keep your head and shoulders in there. It's everything I need. No, there is some cheap shampoo in there,

but it's kind of a free-for-all at the moment. Everything's on the floor. Well, you've got to tell him this isn't for you. I did tell him. You can't say this isn't for you. You're in a relationship. Everything is everybody's. And our money is our money.

So I'm like, if you use it, I'm just going to have to buy. So Sade bought some juice, and she's like, that's mine So I'm like, if you use it, I'm just going to have to buy. So Sade bought some juice and she's like, that's mine. I was like, the hell it is. I didn't even want it. But you know who I've been drinking lots of? The juice. It's our juice now. I do that. I literally buy nice food and I'll hide

it in the pantry or the fridge. I'm like, this is mine. Do you know what? I'm going to wear one of your Anine Bing hoodies to work one day one of these days. It's yours too. It's ours. And it fits. It's not ours. Anyway, his hair looks phenomenal and his breakouts have just cleared. So it's worth it.

You've put some investment into your man and he's looking great. He's looking nice and tight. Get a head and shoulders and tell him to use that. But I don't want him using head and shoulders. Why? What's wrong with head and shoulders? Why am I taking advice from two bald men on shampoo to buy my bloody Momoa man? What about my complimentary shower shampoo?

Is that all right? Shite. Did you say? I don't know what's a good shampoo. Is it palm olive and an Aesop bottle like the rest of the shit in your house? Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about my running shoe of choice.

Oh. Asics. Why is that your running shoe of choice? I don't know. I just got a pair and I liked them and then that was that. Really? Okay. It's not a very cool brand.

I don't... You're confusing me for someone that worries about... I hate to inform you, but it's not very cool there. But then I only ever wear it at the gym or exercising. I'm not worried. Do you wear shorts or have you got a legging? I'm a shorts guy. He goes really short too.

Shorts, no undies underneath. Really? A little rub from an undie. What about the mesh? Is that quite? The mesh is, the shorts I've got, no, not rough, supportive. It does the job. Bold that you don't wear underwear at the gym.

Yeah, with those tiny shorts and that. It's bold. It's a bold. I'm always very careful. You're one slip away from being a gym pest. A registered sex pest. A registered squats pest. Well, do you know where the name Asics comes from?

I always thought it was like basic. Oh, like basics. Because it looks like. Like it's a basics shoe. Yeah, it's like a basic shoe for a basic bee. Let's never forget the time the Asics store in Auckland, their big screen was hijacked. Do you remember that?

On Shortland Street. Was that the Asics store that happened then? Yeah, they played some naughty videos on there. In the early wee hours of the morning. But that store's gone now. Right. Because of the incident? No.

It didn't help them. I think they just moved into a different store. It was a COVID situation. Well, the name ASICS is actually an acronym. Oh, yeah. Okay, let's guess. Okay. Adidas is not an acronym. Oh, yeah. Okay, let's guess. Adidas is not an acronym.

No. That's Adidasler. He was a German shoemaker and his brother Rudolf Dasler was Puma's founder. Adidasler was Adidas's founder. Yeah. They made boots for Nazis. Is it a shoe in case of sports? I mean, it could be.

Athletic shoe igloo. It's not sexy cucumber. Well, you've done it backwards. Cucumber sexy. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. Cucumber sexy. Athletic shoe igloo cucumber sexy? No, I'm afraid not.

Damn it. And the chaser actually got it right. For you No, I'm afraid not Damn it And the chaser actually got it right Hell yeah For you, the chase is over Damn it Thoroughly enjoyed playing alongside you though Thoroughly enjoyed having you I was hoping it was you

Lovely to meet you And good luck with that camper van That you and your husband were saving for Thank you Who is going on the chase Thinking they're going to walk away with enough money To buy a motorhome?

They're like, I'll take the negative $2,000. I'm like, now you're in the red. And you're going to split it with the rest of the panel. You're further away from the camper van than you were before you went to the chase.

You're going to be lucky to buy a wheel. Yeah, you go on the chase and always take the high offer. Yeah. Roll the dice. God, somebody was at home with COVID

watching the chase, weren't they? Oh, I got so mad. Do you know, last night... A flawless TV show. It's a flawless TV show. A woman, I think it was last night, got £2,000 in the cash bill.

The whole minute, she got two questions right and my daughters were like, that's embarrassing. Yeah. Don't go on the chase. That's a walk of shame out of that studio my daughters were like, that's embarrassing. Yeah. That's a walk of shame out of that studio. Yeah, you're leaving.

One of the questions was, Tolkienism is a reference to, is a literary reference to which British author? I mean, he held her hand and walked her to the door of Tolkien. And she was like, pass. Oh my God. You're screaming at the TV. Yeah, it's very frustrating. Now, how did we get here?

Essex. Essex. It's an acronym. I said you got it wrong, so the chase was over. A Sporty Incorporation Company. It's a Latin phrase. Atelium, Securium, Icus Caravit Carpes Sacrum. Bang on.

How did you know that? What is that? It's a Nema Sana Incorporo Sano. Okay. And a sound mind and a sound body. Oh. Oh, we're not impressed, are we? We're not impressed.

I'm a Nike snob. What about your Carpe Diem? You all get out there and seize the carps? Yeah. Buy a beware caveat emptor. Yeah. But you're not familiar with... Luce Veritatis, the light of truth, Queen Margaret College.

Sana in Corpus Sano, which is the opening line or a line in a famous ancient Roman poem. So yeah, it's an acronym. ASICS, next time you see a pair of ASICS, you can say they're your friends. Interesting for a Japanese company. Yes, to go full Latin. Very much so. Full lat. Full lat on that.

So today's fact of the day is ASICS, the shoe brand, the name comes from a Latin phrase and it's an acronym. Fact of the day day day day day do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

do. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I petition for autumn to be officially renamed because Americans call it fall. Yes. Europeans call it autumn. I think we call it Fijos. So summer

Fijos. Winter, spring. Summer Fijos. Call it summer Fijos broccoli spring. Stone fruit. It's one of those things that you forget about and then all of a sudden you're inundated with broccoli spring. Stone fruit. Not in Fiji. It's one of those things that you forget about and then all of a sudden you're inundated with Fijois.

Yeah. And it's insane to me that anyone's buying Fijois at the supermarket. I saw them, they were $9.99 a kg. And that was a special. Yeah, yeah. Because we are in peak Fijois season. They are literally on everybody's ground right now.

Yeah, yuck. They're everywhere. You hate them. I just think they don't belong here. I hate them. They're so slimy and sloppy and strong and pungent. They go mank so quickly. They go mank so quickly.

So quickly. Well, you think avocados are bad. Fijoa's like, no, I'm fine. I'll be. No, you can rely on me. I'll be here tomorrow. Don't eat me now for the sake of eating me now. I'll be fine tomorrow. And you come out the next day, it's like, no, I'm fine. I'll be, no, you can rely on me. I'll be here tomorrow. Don't eat me now for the sake of eating me now. I'll be fine tomorrow.

And you come out the next day, it's like, I was wrong. I was wrong about my ability to last another day. My skin's gone black. You can't even pick me up without me falling. So it's Feijoa season and we've got Feijoa. We've got four Feijoa trees and I think we've got four different types of Fijoa trees.

Okay. Because some of them are hard and wrinkled and some of them are smooth and soft. It's just life, isn't it? You get different varieties of things. Everybody's a different Fijoa. Everybody is a beach body. Yeah.

Every Fijoa is a beach body. Is a beach Fijoa. Do you know how to make your Fijoa beach ready? Take it to the beach. Take it to the beach. Yeah. Amen, sister. Beautiful preach.

Yeah. So my Fijoa's are out there lying on the lawn wearing what would not have qualified as a swimsuit in the 1990s. I'll tell you what, I can almost see their Fijoa on. Oh my God. Wow, I can see the full Fijoa. Oh my God, I can see your entire Fijoa. I can see the full Feijoa. Oh, my God, I can see your entire Feijoa. I can see the entire soft part of the Feijoa.

You can see the entire part that was the flour. Bursting out. On the end of the Feijoa. So we've been picking up Feijoas. I've been scooping them out and freezing them for Feijoa Jam at a later date. Do you put them in smoothies? You can put them in smoothies if you're into the taste. I've got Fijor Fizz actually.

What's that? It's like fermented Fijors. Oh, right. But one thing my daughters wanted to do was sell Fijors on the side of the road. And I was like, yeah. What about the iPad and video games? Yeah, are your kids not cool? This is like, I think they've

had so much of that. Yeah. They're like, maybe we will go outside. Yeah. And so they unpackaged them up and went and sold them. Made $36. Whoa. Did you take a cart because they're yours?

Well, the children. And the feed showers. Yeah, and the cart I made. And the cart I made for them. So they should be paying that off in installations. Yeah, they should be. That's pretty cool, Dad. That's pretty cool making them a cart.

Scrap wood. Yeah, we painted the side with chalk so you can change it. We could sell anything on there really now. Oh, my God. Okay. Sparked a little entrepreneur. And I said if they're our company's top seller, after six months I'll give them a Mercedes-Benz lease.

So you're building somewhat of a pyramid scheme. If they want to be boss babes and set their own hours and be their own boss, all they need to do is convince some of their friends to buy Fijos off them to sell on to other people. Right. My garage is full of Fijos and I'm so in debt, but I've got a feeling this is going to be great for me

going forward in my MLM. Because you can make Fijo wine. Yes. Yeah. Although I don't think kids can make Fijol wine. Yes. Yeah, although I don't think kids can sell that on a roadside store. Says who? He lives rural. Says who?

What? They can do anything. Different rules out there. But that's, they were more excited about selling Fijols than they were when they made the candles because they made the candles and then I guess it's all online so they don't get to see like currency in their hand. Right. Yeah, cash rules as a kid, eh? Yeah, you're like, what?

Coins? And rightly so. Coins were always more exciting than notes because they j hand. Right. Yeah, cash rules as a kid, eh? Yeah, you're like, what? Coins? And rightly so. Coins were always more exciting than notes because they jangled. Yeah. You get a big pile of them. Yeah. I feel it. It feels like more.

Did you ever do this as a kid in the farm? We tried. Did you ever sell bags of poo? Lemonade? No, because we never had horses and that's the easiest poo to bag. Sloppy dairy cow poo was always pretty hard to get in there. Oh, yeah. Nobody wanted that.

No. Nobody wanted that. We tried, like plums and stuff from our orchard. No one ever stopped. They're on a rural road. They're going 110 k's an hour flat tax. To start. They're not even going to be able to stop once they see our sign.

But no, we never had any luck making it. But I was wondering if we could take some calls on how you made a bit of cash money when you were a kid. Like a little something extra. Like a kid's sign hustle. Yeah. Whether you had a roadside stall or you're one of these, you know you see these kids in the news

and they've started a product and they've sold it. Oh my God, millions. Half a million dollars and they're like 15. I make slime out of cornstarch. Oh yeah. That's right. Remember the slime? Is I make slime out of cornstarch. Oh, yeah. That's right. Remember the slime? Is that still a thing?

Yeah, dude. It's huge. Slime's still happening. Perhaps not as much as it was peak slime sort of 2018, 2017, 2018. My friends own a cafe and their little daughter sets up a small nail salon. Oh, that's pretty cool. And does little paints, little nails. Oh, that's cute.

She's terrible. But, you know, it's cute. It's cute. It's cute. It's so cute. She's nails. Oh, that's cute. She's terrible. But, you know, it's cute. It's cute. It's cute. It's so cute. She's terrible. No, it's cute. I'm just like, oh, I've got gels on, so I can't, you know. Yeah, you're just like, I can't. I can't. So bad.

But really, it's such a sweet little idea. You need to paint your toes next time you're in there. Get the dogs out. Oh, just love off a sock. No, you won't want to see those in the middle of a cafe. Yeah, people would. Might be Oh, just love off a sock. No, you won't want to see those in the middle of a cafe. People would. Might be actually the sort of business cafe next. I have been thinking about it. We're a foot finish.

We are talking about how you made a little bit of cash as a kid. I just remember we had a creek running through our house and we used to catch cockabillies and sell those. What? You had a creek running through your house? Yeah, and we had

a little bridge over it. You mean through your property? Sorry, through the property. I was like, what? I was like, you were so rich that you had a house that straddled a creek.

Oh, no, no, no. Not in these climate-changing times. Cockabillies, little tiny little fish and you used to catch them in big Just Juice two-litre bottles, and we used to take them to school and be like, you want to buy one?

It was a dollar. And then you'd get a dollar mix. And then what would the person do with the fish? They'd die. They used to jump out the top all the time. They were like, I'm done with this Just Juice bottle. Goodbye. I'd rather die.

Cruel world, yeah. Gina, this was your brother. How did he make money as a kid? So, my brother Sam, my mum used to bake us muffins for our lunch boxes. Yeah. And my brother used to take them to school

and then sell them to his mates, whoever was the highest bidder. They'd bring their lunch money. And my brother would, like, sort of sneak a couple cheeky muffins and extra and take them and, yeah, sell them. It went on for so long before my mum found out that he wasn't eating the muffins that she was carefully baking for her son. And so he'd take the money to the tuck shop?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what he'd do. So he'd sell the muffin that mum made because he's like, oh, I can get more of those at home, whatever know yeah yeah yeah endless supply yeah yeah and then he'd just go to the tuck shop and grab them you know like a pizza bread or whatever or whatever yeah it's so funny it went on for so long. And then mum found out. She felt very betrayed. I bet she did. I bet she did. I'm kind of wondering if anyone listening was one of the people who bought one of these muffins.

Or like knew of the trade. When and where was it? And what was your brother's name? Let's get the whole situation out there and see if anyone's tasted grandma's. Okay. Well, this is the old Tron. Early started business in Hamilton, and it was Hillcrest High School, San Broome.

I'm calling it out. San Broome, Hillcrest High in Hamilton. What year was he peddling these muffins? Oh, gosh. Oh, I don't even know what years are anymore. Oh, my God. You've summed it up. You've summed it up. You've summed it up. I don't even know what years are anymore. Oh my God! You've summed it up. You've summed it up.

You've summed it up. I don't even know what years are anymore. Oh, like 2000 and... Oh my God. 2000s? Maybe. Or 2010s?

Maybe 2005, 2006. Oh yeah. What are years though? Have you had one of Sam Brim's... What are even years? Sam Brim's muffins at Hillcrest High.

Let us know. Were they good muffins? Let us know. Gina, thank you. How did you make money as a kid? Oh, $ins at Hillcrest High. Let us know. Were they good muffins? Let us know. Gina, thank you. How did you make money as a kid? 0800, dials at him as a number, text 9696. So many messages coming through. Hustlers.

We're a country of hustlers. Somebody messaged in, selling baby stick insects. They're not yours. The poor mum is weeping into her big weird claws. Where are they, baby? We're talking about how you made money as a kid. I like it. It's some very entrepreneurial moments.

Yeah, because your girls have been selling Fijas. Yeah. I didn't think anyone was going to stop. They came in, they were like, an old man stopped. And that freaks you out when you're a father. An old man stopped. He bought two bags. He gave us 10 bucks.

And he didn't want change. And then he ate a whole feature of skin and all. Hey. I was like, oh, yeah, some people do that. It was so weird. Great little story. There are so many messages coming in. I had a sandwich business.

It lasted one day. I made 350 sandwiches. It took me all day, so I missed the scheduled lunch run. Mum made me freeze them, and then I had to eat one every day for the year. Oh, my God, a frozen sandwich every day. How sad. When would you take the sandwich out? In the morning?

It'd be wet. Because then you'd risk a very cold sandwich for lunch, or the night before where you would have a wet sandwich. Jenny, how did you make money as a kid? Oh, well, it was in the 80s and 90s, showing my age a little bit, but I don't know if you remember there was these little sachets of sherbet

in a paper bag with a drawer in it. Hell yeah, hell yeah, they were the biz. They were the biz. Anyway, as a rip-off of that, on the back of a packet that we got at the supermarket of citric acid. You know, it's in the basic section. Yeah, well, we found a recipe on there. So we put citric acid, tartaric acid, and the sachet powder drink.

Yeah, that's how you make homemade sugar. Yeah, mix it up and sold it at the gate. And the kids in the neighbourhood would always come back every day. Dude! You sell the crack for kids. Did you sell the straw as well? Did you even put any in a straw? No, we just put it in a bag.

I wonder why millennials have got a cocaine problem. Yeah. You were selling baggies at the gate. You want a little bit of powder, homemade, pretty good quality, not cut with that shit, you know. You were getting those kids high right before school on sugar. The teachers sort of loved you. Yeah.

I was right after school, and they used to come and knock on our door when we hadn't even made it and ask us if we had some more. Come on, mate, just a little bit. Come on, you can't do this to me. You can't do this to me. How much money did you make, Jenny? Oh, I just remember having all of this change and not knowing what to do with it. I mean, of course we went down to the dairy to get like a dollar mixed shower or whatever

it was. Yeah, yeah. Wait, so you were selling a sweet treat and then using the profits to buy a better quality sweet treat. That's Pablo Escobar right there. It's entrepreneurial. It really is. Supporting a habit with a worse habit. Thanks, you're cool.

Tish, what did you do to make money as a kid? So it wasn't actually me. It was a kid at my school. Oh, yeah? But this is when chatterings were like a big thing. What do you mean when they were? I've been chattering

ever since. Awesome. You know, well they all got banned in school but this guy, he had his dad make mini ones and they were small enough

that they could fit in your pocket and so he was selling them at school and all these kids would just pull them out during class time and just play with them under the desk

and the teachers wouldn't know where the noise was coming from. Wow. But was his dad getting a cut of this? I don't know. I don't actually know why the dad was doing it because he took the big one off his son too.

So like he gave him these small ones. So yeah. And they went everywhere. They were all throughout the school. Yeah, I was going to say like that's a good

business idea. Those things were so popular. Little mini pocket ones. Poor dads having to make them. Yeah, but their portability at full size was their downfall. Yeah.

More messages in. I used to be in Scouts and we did paper recycling to help fundraise by collecting old newspapers and magazines with the front cover cut off from dairies, etc. Oh yeah. Well, we used to be in Scouts and we did paper recycling to help fundraise by collecting old newspapers and magazines with the front cover cut off from dairies, etc. Oh, yeah. Well, we used to collect that, fundraise by paper recycling,

but we'd keep the adult magazines. The nudies. And sell them for $15 at school. Yeah, boy. Wow. So there you go. That's double dipping. Yeah.

That's, you know, making some money. I had a sandwich business, another sandwich business. I used to sell it at the hostel at Hamilton Girls High and then use the money that we made from the sandwich business to buy cigarettes. Not going to pay for themselves, are they? No, very expensive. Very expensive.

You'd be lucky to even find bread at the supermarket at the moment for your sandwich business. Yeah, I know. That's always a sandwich business. Plus you need like $80 for a pack of cigarettes or something ridiculous. My friend's mum used to take us to golf with her. And we'd go find lost golf balls in the long grass. And then every now and then we'd take a snorkel mask

and go for a swim in the lake. So yuck. Ducks live in there. And sell them for a dollar each. We and go for a swim in the lake. Ew! So yuck. Ducks live in there. Yeah. And sell them for a dollar each. We actually made quite a bit of money. You would because golf balls aren't cheap, are they? Yeah.

Especially the good ones. How about this? When I lived in the UK in the 90s, there was a heat wave. So I got a ream of paper from mum's work and sat at our gate folding paper fans and selling them to people for 20p. Good Lord. And to everybody out there who's talking about selling sacks of pinecones as a rural brother, that is a real classic.

Did we find anybody that had a Hillcrest mum muffin? No, no words on if, you know, the muffins made it. Mum's muffs? Yeah, mum's muffs got out there. None? From Hillcrest High. I mean, there would have been a few. Yep, yep.

Melfi Mum's muffs in the early 2000s from Hamilton to Hillcrest High. Yeah. No feedback. Well to do. Well to do. Now, but what a huge school. Well, congratulations to you, podcast listeners, that you've reached the end. So I would assume if you've listened all this way through, you're either asleep, in which

case, wake up! Or you enjoyed it. So drop us a review and tell your friends. That's how podcasts work.
