Yeah, it'll be lovely and cold and I'm guessing a little misty down there beside the Wakatau River at Mystery Creek. Yeah, we're getting, what do they call it? The 22nd of June is the shortest day. Shortest day. Yeah, she's chilly this morning. Wellington, the nation's warmest city at the moment. Is this one of those good days?

10.4 degrees. Is it going to be one of those good days or are they warm because it's already covered in cloud? I feel like Wellington's good days are often in winter when they just get that like icy still blue sky. So another really nice day

today and I think tomorrow but then the rain's back but yeah, Hamilton this morning minus one. That's cold. Five in Auckland

at the moment. It's one in Christchurch and minus one in Queenstown. Now, it's a little snapshot. Question, because I've never been

to field days. Yep. What would I find Now. It's a little snapshot. Question, because I've never been to Field Days. Yep. What would I find there? Lots of farmers. Tons of farmers. Tractors. Yes. Tractors.

Utes. Agricultural equipment. A lot of Utes. Yeah. I've seen a lot of talk about the EVs. Oh, right. This year. Okay.

At the Field Days. Chainsaws. Gumboots. Yeah. Little niche businesses within the agricultural sector. Right. Like the Highland Cattle Standard there. I just saw on their Facebook page, they said, we're all set up and ready for field days.

And you can go along and see little baby cows. Will there be like dumpling stalls and like macrame? Dumplings? Yeah. There'd be dumplings. There's food trucks and stuff. Is there fudge? Is there fudge?

There'll be fudge. I'd almost guarantee there's fudge. You get a little bag and you go around and you get all your freebies. There's probably some helium balloons in the mix. Good stuff. Same for the kids. We went a couple of years ago. It was all right.

It was my first time. It's all right. I'm not a farmer, though, so. It's always got to be muddy. That's the rule. Right. It has to be muddy. And if it's not muddy, I think they just start turning on the taps overnight so it gets muddy. Got to take your gummies. That's the rule. Right. It has to be muddy. And if it's not muddy, I think they just start turning on the taps overnight

so it gets muddy. Got to take your gummies. That's for sure. It's like, what's the festival? The Gumboots? Glastonbury. Glastonbury.

It's like Glastonbury, but more tractors. Yeah. And more farmers. And less Kate Moss. Yes, way less Kate Moss. Well,

that remains to be seen. I mean, let's not rule out Kate Moss turning up to field days this year. and traffic. Oh yeah that remains to be seen. I mean, let's not rule out Kate Moss turning up to field days this year. Oh, and traffic. Oh yeah, a lot of traffic. Getting in and out

can be a bit of a ball ache. Horrible. Coming up soon on the show, silly little poll. I just can't believe that people even do this. Do you pack and make

your partner's lunch for work? Do you do that? Oh yeah. Like if, if when Aaron's off to things or if he's really, really busy, I'll make them a meal lunch. You make a little, Oh yeah Like if If When Aaron's off to things Or if he's really really busy

Yeah I'll make that man lunch You make a little Yeah Mothering him I'm popping home I've got 45 minutes today Spare in my day

Other than that It is packed tight I'm popping home To make the boy lunch Wow Well Girl you're gonna wipe his bum too Are ya

No Cause then I'd have to go Into the portalo. Right, right. There's not enough space in there. But we'll see how the nation voted soon in Silly Little Pole. The top six is on the way. Yeah, apparently Disney, although they've tried to say this year

they're trying to save $5 billion. Yeesh. They're looking to buy the WWE. Wrestling? Yeah. So the top six storylines you can expect to see if Disney buys the WWE. Next on the show, a Chinese airline has gone viral over a new rule for staff.

Unreal. Yeah. Fluctuators beware. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, an airline out of China has gone viral. I believe it said Hainan Airlines, H-A-I-N-A-N. Well, apparently at the airline, female cabin crew, only women,

face immediate suspension if they are 10% above the airline's standard weight limit for their height as part of the carrier's image program. Image program? So standard weight, height in centimetres minus 110 equals standard weight, kgs. Well, I'm going to work out mine. Okay. So say what?

So how do you work it out? So standard weight is height in your centimetres. 187. Yeah, and then you would minus 110, Vaughan. 110. And that's standard weight. What's that? 77kg.

Wait, what would I minus? Jesus, I've been like 82kgs and people were like, have you got the cancer? Yeah. How do I work it out? So height in centimetres. Height in centimetres. Minight in centimetres minus 110. Minus 110.

69. Nice. 69 kgs. You're grounded. The lightest I've ever been as an adult was like 72. And same thing. Someone was like, are you all good? Are you all right?

What's up? Are you dying? So also they do weekly weight checks. Dude, my weight can fluctuate like 5 kgs in a week. I know. You have a big weekend. You know, like water and big weekend. You have a big weekend of snacks and pizzas and a few Aperol Spritz.

So I would need to be, hold on, I'm just going to work out, minus 110. So you go your standard weight. Okay, so do this now. Put on your weight. And then plus 110. I would need to be over two meters tall to not be this weight. Oh, put in your current weight. Yeah, and then you have to work out how tall you'd have to be.

And then, of course, that's impractical to be 2 metres 10 and... I need to be Aaron's height. I need to be just under 6 foot 6. To be right. Okay. To be a flight attendant on Hainan Airlines. Well, yes. Are they Chinese,

did you say? Yeah. Yeah, it's a Chinese airline. Well, I mean, they've got a slightly smaller build in general, I would say, but God, not... But even the height to weight ratio. Yeah. Yeah, it's a Chinese airline. Well, I mean, they've got a slightly smaller build in general, I would say. But even the height to weight ratio. Yeah. They might be shorter, but for every centimetre you go down. God, can they even open their doors? Yeah, you've got to lose a lot.

You've got to be so much lighter. So little and light. Can they even open the door, the emergency exits? Exactly. In an emergency, you want a big, strong girl. When we talked about it the other day, what was the average height of... Men was

179 centimetres in New Zealand. 179 centimetres. For men. Men would need to be 69 kgs. Nice. To do it. What's the average? But no, but also men are not part of this weight program

at this Chinese airline. It's only the women. It's wild. Hang on. Average height of women in New Zealand. 165 minus 110. You would need to be 55 kilograms to work out. At the average height of 5 foot 5.

I'm pretty sure that's what I was when I was 13. But then you could go up to 9 kgs over. You could go up to 9 kgs before you're suspended. No, no, no. I'm sorry, 10%. Sorry, 10%. So that's 5 kgs. You could go up.

You could be outright fatty at 60 kilograms, and then you're out of a job. And then you're done. You're suspended. And then they'll have you chucking bags. Yeah. Isn't that wild? Unreal.

That is so small. 13 past six. Next on the show, Silly Little Pole. Are you like Hayley? Do you make your boyfriend breakfast or lunch? He's a hungry big boy and he needs to eat. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn 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. Buddy, Sheila's text messaged in.

She's old school silly little pole. I do not make my partner lunch. And it wasn't in the wedding vows to love, cherish and pack his lunch every day for the next 50 years. Get out of here, fella. Saying that I boiled him a single egg this morning. Oh, lovely. God, how good's a perfectly boiled egg? With the toast.

Soldiers. You dip it into the runny yolk. A little bit of Marmite toast. That's bread and you're keto. I'm on keto. You can't talk about bread in front of her. I've told you this. Please don't talk about.

Carbohydrates. Can I just. Yeah. Thank you Vaughn. Thank you. Can we not talk about carbohydrates in front of me please. Sorry. I literally have in my hot hands two of the biggest kumara you've ever seen right.

Because I've brought them in to give to Jared. These are definitely... You've done that thing, you know, when you start a healthy eating regime, you clear out the pantry so there's no temptations. I know, but I couldn't palm off my bags of rice to anyone. We've all got rice, haven't we? Yeah, and I've got like four bags of it.

It's got to go. Anyway, I bought him a big kumara. Okay. A big kumara. Sorry, I'll be more sensitive to that. I take it the ploughman's contract's done. Oh, no. You're turning your back on bread.

Oh, no. Meanwhile, being an ambassador for bread. Oh, no. I'm so tall. It's the right socket in meat. If you put enough protein and fat on it. Yeah. Do Ploughmans make a meatloaf?

A meatloaf? Slice it up, put it in the toaster? Yeah, put it in. Oh, my God, imagine. A sliced meatloaf. Yummy. Yum. Yum. Okay, do you make or pack your partner's lunch for work?

73% of people said no way. 27% of people said yeah. Renee. Yes, but only since I've started working with them because I want a good lunch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. No, she started working with them. How do you reckon that went?

What a delicate conversation. I've applied for a job at your work. You've what? That's my safe space. We're going to work together. We're going to be together all the time. We can carpool and what? Your office flirt has to be simmered down.

Oh, everything has to be simmered down. Oh, everything has to be simmered down. Your behaviour, your silliness, your language, your carry on. It's innocent. It's innocent. Your gallivanting. Yeah. God. And then you go home and she packs you a boring ass lunch and you can't even nip across at the bakery.

Then you get home. Oh my god, even on the drive into work, which is like such a beautiful private time. She's there. She's there. He's there. He's there. They're there.

They might be one of those couples that likes it, though. Yeah, it's weird when you see a couple that absolutely thrives on being together. That's all they don't. I'm always like, oh, my gosh. I don't understand. I don't get it. Olivia says, if I'm already making mine, I'll make his. But I'm not making it if I'm not already making mine I'll make his but I'm not making it

if I'm not already making mine how often do you make fiance Aaron's breakfast or lunch I do it particularly like if I'm busy

and I know he won't eat otherwise or he'll eat something bad so I've been doing it quite a bit recently because of the house yeah so yeah

last night while I made dinner and I made breakfasts I also made lunches Wow So that today he gets to eat a nice chicken wrap Keto Well he's got a lot of door knocking to do

He's got to go around and convince people to join the Nova Energy plan It's exhausting walking the streets Yeah It's Greg Grover Yeah It's a knock knock knock Gotta get those steps up Sophie said my partner leaves to work at 5.30am

And I currently don't work And I get up at 4.30 every morning and make him a full cooked breakfast and pack his... What? That is outrageous. The mic has been set down.

One lucky man. A full cooked breakfast? A full cooked breakfast and pack his lunch then I go back to bed till 10 after he leaves. No! Oh, okay, actually

that's quite nice. She goes back to bed at 10. Okay. No, back till 10. Oh, till 10, right. That's when we finish work. Wild. What a, that's incredible.

For some people, it's not like an old-fashioned thing. It's their love language. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an act of service. Yeah, food is an act of service. I love to feed them up. Okay. Could be a kink as well.

Might put Sophie in touch with Sharts. I think I could do a cooked breakfast before I leave in the morning. Imagine if Sharts got up at like 4.30 every morning. He'd saw me off. There's no way now. Sausages, eggs. My nana was one of those women. Got up and made sure when my granddad woke up, the house was warm.

There was like something to eat because he was about to head out on a farm. Cuppa. Cuppa tea. No, because he never drank hot drinks. It was a cup of, oh, he drank a warmed milk in winter. Jesus Christ. Jeebus. He drank a warmed milk.

She babied him his entire life. Yeah. But I tell you what, it's bloody good now. Yeah. I'm on the north side of 40. I wouldn't mind a bloody warm house when I woke up. Joanna says,

absolutely not. He's a grown-ass man and can make his own. My mother thinks it's disgusting that I don't do it. She's old school. I made my dad's lunch every day till he retired. We've had this conversation at work and none of the ladies make lunch for the other half either.

That's, yeah. Well, if you're, you said you had that conversation at work. If you're all working, it's every person for themselves, right? Yeah, 100%. But I guess if you're on a budget and you're trying to be strict, you don't want, you know, three sushis a week. Or, you know, three trips to... Sushi's cheap, but yeah, if you go...

Sushi's not cheap anymore. Six pieces for $11.50. What? Six pieces for $11.50. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I'm absolutely blindsided. It used to be like six bucks. Yeah. For a thing. I'm absolutely blindsided

it used to be like 6 bucks for a thing what am I paying for is it the seaweed that's expensive because I'll eat that one that just comes in the container with the rice and the chicken on top it's all expensive it's nuts

Britt said I was once asked if I could maybe mix it up a little and instead of ham I I could try chicken. 16 years later, I have never made another sandwich or packed lunch from. Eat it. Can you mix it up? Wow. You eat what you were given.

No, says Bridget. He is 45 years old. Pretty sure he can make his own lunch. He does make mine though. And how old are you, darling? It does. Bridget doesn't go that far. How old are you?

She is there. My partner just gave me a massive systema full of pre-made sandwiches to put in the freezer so I can take them out a couple of, I take out a couple in the morning before work and they'll be ready at lunch. That's nice. Yeah. It's the small things and the love is real. Love is real.

But what are you having on those sandwiches? You can't freeze luncheon. No, yeah. You can't freeze cheese. Can you freeze cheese and have it unfreezed? You can't freeze lettuce. Lettuce would just go crystallised. No, it'd have to be like something you toast,

like a cheese and ham or something like that. Yeah, okay. Carmen says, I don't know, but I've been doing it for 25 years. I wish I'd never started. It's never too late to stop. I don't know if he'd know what to do. Kill over and die. 25 years.

You've got to assume he'd be 45. Yeah. See previous caller. I was just opening up my LinkedIn to see if I've had any business requests for my accidental genitalia representation and design business that I started some years ago. Yeah, I've spoken about this so many times,

you'd think people would call on your services more. Yeah, I would have thought after the country of Qatar really dropped the ball and designed a stadium that looks almost exactly like a vagina. It does look like a vagina. I don't think that was a mistake. The more I think about it, I think it was a, yeah. Well, my business has been in business for seven years, four months,

extended to genitalia and design identification consultancy. Yep. Yeah. Rangiora made a skate park that looked like a CMB. That's right. That's right. Straight up CMB. Yeah.

So it was, I've heard from a few people that the Western Springs football logo has an issue. It's Western Springs AFC, and it's a swan, a black swan perched atop two footballs. Now, you might think, well, the Western Springs, of course, has a lot of bird life down by the springs, by the lake. Here's the logo. Now, if I cover that. Oh my God.

If I cover the swan's head, the swan's wing looks a lot like a penis. Slightly hooked at the end. A little bit hooked. It's got a head on it. Yeah, the definition of the wing, the shading looks a little veiny. Yeah, so it's the wing that looks the most phallic, isn't it?

Yeah. And then with two soccer balls underneath. Two soccer balls underneath. Again, I don't think that's an accident. I think they knew what they were doing. Well, that's what the claim is. People have claimed that indeed whoever made the logo did know exactly what they were doing.

But the problem being that females were wearing this and it was making people uncomfortable. Right. So, and the latest headline is that the FALAC logo to be replaced has seen your members call for a special meeting. Can you imagine a special meeting? Alright everybody, we're here for the special meeting. You need to talk about the penis logo.

The swan on the balls looks I love how penis and balls look. Female players told the Herald last month apparently the logo's a well-known story around the club. It's a joke. This is a boys club. And of course everybody's welcome to play. This is a boys club. And of course,

everybody's welcome to play. Yes, yeah, obviously. At Western Springs FC. Would you put your services out for the meeting? You're endorsed on LinkedIn for this. Well, absolutely. I'd be more than happy to. Just look over the first draft of whatever new logo they pick. Yeah. Oh, well, that's the thing.

Knowledge that there's a problem here, but obviously you can be blinded by previous mistakes and you're going forward. And you wouldn't want this to happen again, you know, if you're going to spend the money getting a redesign. Yeah. And if there's anyone that can spot genitals in a logo from Milo, it's you, isn't it?

It's an incredible, incredible sort of seventh sense you've got. Somebody sent me one the other day, a sculpture. Oh, okay. Oh, gosh, it looked terribly like an anus. The actual puckered hole itself. Was it meant to be a flower or something? International Podcast Family, someone sent that in saying, oh, they've missed the trick here.

They should have been in touch with Vaughan Smith design consultancy, even though I know that the butthole isn't a genital. Is it? Does it fall under that umbrella? No. I don't think so. Genitals are on the front, aren't they? Yeah. And they're different. Who's going to see this web search?

Is an anus a genital? Yeah. Well, no, it doesn't say. No, an anus isn't a genital. Is the anus genital? Is the anus a genital? Yeah. Well, no, it doesn't say. No, an anus isn't a genital. Is the anus genital? Is the anus genital? Does the genital area include the anus? Click on that. Well, the genital area does, but it's led by the...

I'm not getting a definitive yes, no here. Maybe 2023 nobody's willing to, you know, go on record as saying because they don't want to be cancelled. They don't want to be cancelled. A genital. Yeah. Human anus.

Thanks for joining us this morning on the show. We're just delving into the apparently unanswerable question. Is it not? No, it is separated from the genitals, meaning your front bits, your sex organs, by the perineum.

So it's a separate, it's a whole separate thing. A gooch barrier. Kind of like a no man's land. Yeah. The gooch. Yeah. Demilitarized zone. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I do, I might even do this pro bono. Bono. Bono. Yeah, you should. I work for the Western Springs AFC. If they do have a new logo and they want me to cast an eye over it. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

More than happy to do that. There you go. The genitalia are the organs that can generate life and reproduce. Butts are great. But they don't make babies. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello there. Disney may be looking to buy the WWE, the World Wrestling Entertainment Franchise. Is there a WWF? That is the World Wildlife Foundation. The Pandas. It used to be the World Wrestling Federation.

And then did that become WWE? Yes. And then is there another wrestling organization or is there only one? It was WCW, but I think they got purchased. Right. World's Coolest Wrestlers. That was hard to get into. That was World Championship Wrestling.

Okay. Yeah, so they became part of the WWE. Okay. Are you into wrestling, Gord? In 2001. I was, like, the last couple of years of high school in the early 2000s In 2001 I was Like the last couple of years Of high school In the early 2000s

Which I would call The golden age of wrestling Now I know people will tell me That the early 90s And late 80s was But The showmanship of Stone Cold Steve Austin

It gave birth to The rock Yeah, it did, yeah The physicality The physicality Is undeniable Yeah There's a hell in a cell match

Where the rock takes on Mankind Why do you get him. There's a Hell in a Cell match where The Rock takes on Mankind. Why do you get him started on this? Hell of a match. I just asked a question. I was just like making chat. Hell of a match. And now we're here. Yeah, some great.

I was actually just in research and this. I was looking up the best WWE matches of all time. And I knew there was 30 of them and I've seen probably 10. Right. So who owns it? Vince McMahon. them, and I've seen probably 10. Right. So who owns Vince McMahon? Oh, right. Yeah. Vince McMahon, yeah.

He's quite controversial, isn't he? I don't know. He's been around forever. He was like, kind of was the one that launched Hulk Hogan. He's been around forever and a day. How much money will he make if Disney buys this? I don't know. Up a jillions of dollars.

I think it's up a jillions of dollars. I think it's up a jillions of dollars. He already had a lot of money. Oh, he'd be very wealthy already, yeah. What is the WWE worth? In 2019, it was worth $5 billion US dollars. We could chip in. Well, no wonder Disney's cutting costs. How much would it cost?

They want to buy their wrestling. The deal values the leading professional wrestling company at $9.3 billion now. Wow. That's the latest. Why does Disney want it? Just because they want to own all aspects of entertainment, I guess. Well, yeah. Imagine if you could watch wrestling on

Disney+. Well, that's surely where they'll put it, right? That's the idea, yeah. Or maybe even have pay-per- What do they call it? Pay-per-view even have pay-per-view matches. Pay-per-view matches. Oh, 100%. They'll work out how to do it. You're worried about Disney learning how to monetize something.

I think you're right. I don't think you need to worry, babe. I think they've got it taken care of. Well, the top six storylines you can expect to see if Disney buys the WWE. You're not going to get any of these, by the way. Number six, tables, lightsabers, and chairs match. The original, I'll explain that. Number six, tables, lightsabers, and chairs match. The original, I'll explain that for you, was tables, ladders, and chairs. Jared really liked that, and he's a nerd, so nerds must be Star Wars.

They whack you with a chair and then throw you onto a table. Table, ladders, and chairs matches were around the ring scattered was tables, ladders, and chairs. Oh, my. And often in the ladder matches, you had to climb the ladder to get the belt that was hanging. Yeah. Now, it'd be too high for one ladder, so they'd put a ladder on top of a table, so it'd be halfway up,

and then somebody'd boot the table out. So you're saying they'd use a lightsaber instead, because that is also a Disney property, when they purchased Lucasfilm in 2004. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It does. Number five on the list of the top six storylines you can expect

if Disney buys the WWE. All the Disney hot princes. You know, you think of all your favorite Disney princes, but they're in those little wrestling jockeys. And if you thought Aladdin was your sexual awakening in the animated 1990s movie, well, when he's wrestling, he'll have nipples. Oh, and those little wrestling pants

yeah like speedos that's what I mean and those little jockies there you go Prince Charming absolutely

Prince Charming can fill it out I reckon even Gaston even though I know he's the bad guy Gaston versus the Beast yeah but Gaston

was always a big boy he's a big boy yeah he's a big boy but was he overcompensating Gaston had big dick energy like you don't stroll around a small town like that like was he overcompensating? Gaston had big dick energy. You don't stroll around a small town like that.

Was he overcompensating or was he literally? He swaggered. He walked with a wide stance. Yeah. I think he might have been packing. Might have been elephant Titus maybe. Yeah, I feel like he had big balls but tiny. Could have been tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny. Number four on the list of the top six storylines you can expect to see if Disney buys a WWE.

Royal Rumble would be the most star-studded event you could possibly ever imagine. Is this where all the people come together and wrestle? They start, they come out. Oh, but you get all the Disney characters. Oh, yeah. Yeah, good stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Donald getting goofy over the top rope. Yeah, good stuff. And all that stuff. Oh, yeah. They just keep coming. Number three on the list of the top six storylines you can expect to see if Disney buys a WWE. Buzz Lightyear and Woody the Cowboy

go up against Mickey and Goofy for the tag team championship belt. Yes. Yeah. I put my money on Woody and Buzz. Yeah. Yeah, same. Because Woody's got the height.

Buzz has got the stout strength. And he can fly. Yeah. But Mickey and Goofy, they've known each other for so long. They're old boys now, though. They're never aged. Number two on the list of the top six storylines you can expect to see

if Disney buys the WWE. Splash Mountain at Disneyland will become Smash Mountain. Yeah, good. And there's just wrestling going on when you're riding around and you get to jump out and join in, too. Isn't Splash Mountain going? Yeah, it is. Space Mountain, what is. Space Mountain?

What is it becoming now? They're redoing it or something. Magic Mountain. I'll tell you in two weeks. Yeah. Three weeks. You poop. And number one on the list of the top six storylines

you can expect to see if Disney buys the WWE. The early 2000s Disney Channel female belt will be amazing. Miley Cyrus versus Hilary Duff versus Raymond Simone versus Demi Lovato versus Selena Gomez. You tell me people wouldn't tune in to watch that. I mean, Instagram followers alone is a billion. There's a billion in between those people. That is today's top six.

I got sent this game a couple of, I feel like it was early lockdown. I got sent a game a couple of, I feel like it was early lockdown. I got sent a game called Getting Lost. Okay. It was made by a New Zealand company. And apparently lately it's popped off because stoned teenagers have discovered Get Lost. Now, I'd never thought about playing it in a city because it's very much New Zealand. It's kind of like jump in your car and start going for a drive.

And there's all these cards and you flip the card over and that's what you do next. It could be something as simple as turn right. Oh. Or the next one might be like take the next road that's pointing towards the sunset. Okay. Or where the sun would set. So you go that way or it's like find a tree that looks like something right

and you do it and you go out and you can get like get lost for hours and you just I don't know you have fun it's like a ticky tour

yeah right dad would be like I'm in the mood for a drive but this doesn't sound like you because you've you don't want to leave the house well I didn't

I didn't mind it and we did it oh okay so there's a walkers edition now oh yeah why this why you could play in a city because that's what I was going to say Well, I didn't mind it and we did it. Oh, okay, so there's a walker's edition now. Oh, yeah. You could play in a city because that's what I was going to say. You should not be under the influence of anything.

I mean, driving. Unless you've got a sober driver, of course. And then they're just laughing at all their stone mates saying, that tree looks like Jesus. So apparently the New Zealand inventor, Cat, just started hearing from all these people and started getting this social presence and it's because like this demographic of stone teenagers are like getting it and then getting blazed

and then going for a walk around the city they live in. This is in America it's taken off. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. I hope they add us to their as seen on at the bottom of their website.

What do they have an as seen on? As seen on MoreFM. Oh God. You can't see things on MoreFM. No. As seen on TodayFM. As RIP. As heard on all of the FM's. So you'd say as heard. Now as seen on NZHerald.com. You can see. You can see that Now, as seen on NZ Herald. Okay, right, okay.

You can see that. But not as seen on ZM. No. Well, maybe now. Maybe now. We could make this illustrious list. Do you know what the city,

what's the city game entailed? So there's apparently 30 different editions now. Road trips, date nights, camping, walking the dog, heading into the bush, office parties. Yeah.

Office parties? Ooh. Kiss the person next year. Kiss someone from accounts. Yeah. Come here, Josephine. Try some deep innuendo with someone from HR and see if you get away with it. Yeah.

And then they can do the unemployment edition where you're walking to the local WINS office to try to find a new job. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Sorry, I'm having an absolute mare with me mic. Short women. What constitutes short woman? I don't know. When you see someone, you're like, God, that's a little

small lady. Howdy there, you little lady. Howdy, little lady. No one says that to me because I'm a tall gal. What's up, big bird? What was that dumb early 2000s film? She's a huge... Juice Bigalow. That's a huge bitch. That hasn't aged well.

Surprise, surprise. Oh, no, I doubt it. Surprise, surprise. Not too many... Juice Bigalow hasn't aged well. Yeah. No. Yeah.

Along the eras of like Shallow Howl and those films. Yeah, yeah. Rob Schneider. Constantly in trouble. Yeah. Anyway, short women, there has been a study that has been conducted. And I have to let you know that if you are a heterosexual and you are dating men, they are looking at you, Shorty, as just a fling.

Oh. Men prefer to go for short women for things like one-night stands or a short little, and then I'm gone, whereas they'll gravitate more towards the taller women when they're looking for something a bit more full-time. Right. I mean, that's not always the case because you see shorter women. Short women do find love eventually.

Yeah, of course. But it goes against the trend. I mean, Shaquille O'Neal, his wife was tiny. But then everyone's tiny against a basketball player. This is true. I've been watching the NBA. Now, my team's bowed out. The NBA finals are finished.

Well, it's actually bowed out at second place. They didn't bow out early in the rounds. But some of them are so tall. There was one guy who was playing, and I was like, God, Jimmy Butler's quite short, eh? And then I looked up, and he's Aaron's height, 6'6". That's how tall the rest of them are. They don't look so tall.

Anyway, but yeah, if you're a short woman, there's really nothing you can do about it. They said they just gravitate towards short women for romantic flings rather than everlasting love. This was done worldwide, by the way. All the research was conducted not just in UK or America or whatever. It was worldwide. Oh.

Yeah. And then women always gravitated towards tall men. Of course they do. Which is pretty good. The tall men want a short woman. The short woman want a tall man, which I hate. When I see a short woman with a tall guy, I'm like,

you have the shorties. Us tallies need some tallies. Yeah, right. It'll be a good fit because that's what they both want. But they want, like for shorter women, they look at them as being uncommitted,

short term prospects. Yeah. Could you date a short man? I could. I've dated a few people shorter than me. Do you find it weird, though? Because you're obviously so into the bigger guys. Once you go big, you can't go back, you know?

Yeah. So, you know, you never know. Could you date someone, like, a foot taller than you? Two foot taller? Two foot taller? You're talking an eight-foot woman. Could you date a like a foot taller than you? Two foot taller? Two foot taller? You're talking an eight foot woman. Could you date a nine foot woman? I just think for practicality reasons, I don't know if I could date a nine foot woman.

But I could date the 50 foot woman. You know that size, that 50s. Oh my God, yes, with the legs. The what? The 50 foot woman. It's like a black and white film. Oh, no. It's like a pop culture thing.

Why wasn't it around in the 50s? Neither was I, but it's like a pop culture thing. The 50-foot woman, the attack of the 54 woman, and she's dressed like an Amazonian, and she's like stepping over a freeway. Okay. She'd be fun to date. Yeah.

She'd be like, do you want to go? She could actually crush you. She'd actually, yeah. She's going to take a fortune to keep her fed. Oh, my God. I just hopped into the comments section of this article about the study. Oh, no.

Don't go there. Someone, a guy called Mark, messaged saying, he's from America, he said, I like short girls. I consider them to be more precious, more delicate. That's a short boy. Nearly swore. He's a short guy. Yeah.

And then someone said, taller women earn more money than shorter women. Do they? So the men prefer that. Nah, that can't be a thing. That can't be a thing. Little patitis can earn some money. Well, some stats are out. You know, every time we come into the country,

you fill out the little arrival cards, which, by the way, do you remember? I thought they got rid of them. No, so they're back now. They're back, baby. Because during the pandemic, you had to fill out that online form. So that, apparently, they're trialling that out, I think, for flights into either Wellington or Christchurch at the pandemic, you had to fill out that online form. So apparently they're trialling that out, I think,

for flights into either Wellington or Christchurch at the moment. And then later in the year or next year, that's going to be how we do it. So no paper. So no paper, which is great. So you fill out and you're like, how long were you away from New Zealand? Holiday? Was it business? Yada, yada, yada. What do you do for a living, which I always struggle with. How good is it on the plane that you get those

and you might like wake up and you're like, oh, shit, we're about to land or whatever and you frantically fill it out and everybody's filling it out and you look around and you can see everybody filling it out and they make a big deal about handing it out and you still get to the thing in the airport and someone's like, oh, no, I didn't fill that out. I know.

And they're like, what this? Have you ever travelled before in your life? Even if you haven't, you'd be like, excuse me, what is this? What's everybody filling out, but I'm not. And then you're like, oh, that thing we gave you, you just fill it out with details. Oh, what details? Well, it's all stuff you should know, your name, your address,

and then your passport number, and that's inside your passport. Oh, no. Some people, eh? Some people. What do you put for occupation? I struggle. Sometimes I'll say like presenter because that is everything. What's a presenter?

Presenting the radio, presenting the television. Right. I put broadcaster because you don't put DJ. You don't put DJ. Because they think you're an Ibiza DJ and you've got eckies up your bum. Yeah, totally. Sometimes I put entertainer. Sometimes I put comedian.

I just struggle. It's an existential crisis every time I come in. Why don't you get customers about entertainer? Rate yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're funny, do you? Tell us a joke then. Well, out of all the information that's come into the year leading up to April 2023 of this year,

compared to others, New Zealanders are spending longer overseas than we have before the pandemic. Oh, yeah, big trips. Compared to 2019. Because it's so expensive now, when we go away, we're saying, okay, well, I'm not just going to go for a week. I'm going to go for two.

Yeah. Because you've got to make it worth it. Yeah. So before the pandemic, Kiwi travellers spent an average of 19 days overseas, and that has gone up to 24 now. Will that include Australia? 24? Yeah, any time overseas.

Trips less than seven days. So, like, you know when you could just pre-pandemic, airfares were so cheap, you could go to Sydney or Aussie, you might go for, like, a three-day weekend. Totally. And it would be, like, 400 bucks or 300 bucks or whatever. That's gone. Those trips have

gone down significantly. Before the pandemic, 27.7% of trips were less than 7 days and now it's 22%. You're not doing the Sydney weekends anymore, are you? No. You're not doing the short trips. If you're going, you go for longer because you pay for the airfares.

You save up a little longer. I can totally see why. But then a lot of accommodation is so expensive now as well. So if you're going to go for longer, you're going to be paying for longer to stay. So it's not always good to go for longer. Unless you're going to stay with somebody. Oh, yeah. You don't outstay your welcome.

When you're on someone's couch and you're like, by the way, I'm here for not the usual week. I'm now here for three weeks. Three weeks. It's so expensive. Yeah. And they won't be contributing. Yeah.

They're not going to like that. They should just be happy to see you. But is there more like more all-inclusive packages as well? Like, I'm just thinking I've seen a lot of travel packages. Oh, okay. And maybe people are getting back into, like, cruise ships and that sort of thing. Which are slightly longer and accommodations included.

Or they might be doing, like, a camper van or, like, a boat down. I want to go down that river. What river? Through Europe. That looks neat. And sometimes they let you drive your own boat. Oh, no, that sort of...

Oh, on the canals. Yeah, no, I know people who... Oh, you know how I was saying that my parents are doing a cruise. What part of it are they going to go through? The Suez. The Suez Canal. The Suez Canal. The famous Suez Canal. Is it the Danube? The Danube River that goes through Europe.

Although I think last summer that was really dry. And it was like BYU water. Because I've got heaps, man. They can have some of our West Auckland water because we've just got. It's just sitting on the ground still. Yeah, take it with you. Just ring out the paddocks and just send it over. They can have it.

Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. If you're in Hawke's Bay, clear the calendar. Clear whatever you had planned for this rambunctious Wednesday. Okay. Rambunctious? Well, maybe it had planned for this rambunctious Wednesday. Okay. Rambunctious? Well, maybe it's about to become rambunctious. Okay.

Because Hawke's Bay missed out on Valentine's Day. Well, they did too. Thanks to the cyclone Gabriel. Yeah. Gabriel. Gabriel. Gabriel. Yeah.

Gabriel. They're doing it today instead. Okay. Because it was too horrible to do it in February with the weather. Yeah. Gabriel. They're doing it today instead. Okay. Because it was too horrible to do it in February with the weather. Yeah. So they're going to do Valentine's Day tonight instead. Cute. What are they doing?

In the middle of winter. It's not very romantic, is it? Yes, it is. Lovely fire. Oh, yeah. Lovely fire. Northern Hemisphere has their. Oh, yeah.

And arguably their coldest month. And you're probably right. February's very cold in the northern hemisphere. Would be a nice roaring fire. Nothing makes you warmer than hopping into bed together in the nude and having a little rump-de-pump-de. No? Warmer.

I'd just put another pair of socks on if it was warm for after. So your wife is saying, hey, it's Valentine's Day, it's freezing, I'm just going to hop into this, slip into the sheets. Yeah. You're going to say, why are you doing that? Just put on another set of socks. We've got a heat pump here, put that on. Got the spa going again.

Love's alive, isn't that romantic? So romantic. You're going to be out in the spa. Yeah, but exactly. What's happening in the spa? What are we talking about? Oh, nothing. That's not happening in the spa.

No, you're not doing it in the spa. We're running a very regimented water program. Oh God. Your pH balance Gotta keep the

pH right, gotta keep the chlorine right, a little magnesium situation going on there. It's for relaxing. Right. Not maxing out.

But yeah it's not, I've never even thought about the northern hemisphere as always Valentine's Day in winter. I've never even thought about the

idea of going, oh, we missed that because it was a bit crap and it was incredibly crap. Yeah. Well, let's just do it again later. How are they celebrating this? Because we should do that with summer. Well, I mean, North Ireland could do that again with summer.

We missed that so we could do it now. When do you want to do that now? Do it now. We've had some nice days. It's very cold overnight though. I've put the shorts away though. I have to get them out again. Go to the beach.

Was that why you were vacuum packing the other day? Yeah. How good is vacuum packing? Man, that's sexy stuff. It should be an Olympic sport, vacuum packing. How much can I fit in?

How much can you get in? Can you get a nice, tight seal? And you've got to go quality. You've got to go quality. I bought some cheap ones from a $2 shop situation. If you get a leak. It's just a bag. Yeah, it's just a bag. It's just a plastic, crinkly bag of clothes. It's a seal. But what are you vacuum

packing? You put all your summer clothes in. Just crap you don't need. Like duvets. I just wear the same thing in winter and summer it's a completely it's a wardrobe

that can do and if there might be a jacket I just kind of hang it up yeah I'll be like I'll get to you soon it's not cold enough right

yeah I don't know what you're especially you that blue t-shirt is literally a year round item well yeah that's a summer and winter t-shirt yeah absolutely

what are you possibly vacuum packing? There's just a lot of stuff. Or shorts. He wears shorts in the summer. You're also the only person in your house. How are you short of room? You've got two entire wardrobes to yourself.

Where do you put your vacuum packs? I've got a storage locker. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I just get rid of them and put them in there. Wow. It's great stuff. I love a vacuum pack. I've got so much to vacuum pack and un them in there. Wow. It's great stuff. I love a vacuum pack.

I've got so much to vacuum pack and un-vacuum pack. But yeah, well, anyway, happy Valentine's Day if you're in the Hawke's Bay. I know a lot of the business is doing like specials and stuff. So get out there and help out the local economy. Papa. After a tough time. Absolutely. And let the romance thrive. Yeah.

And if you want to make love in your spa pool, that's your spa pool. No, don't. I just don't think it's medically recommended either. Jen Anne. Jen Anderson. She is... God, she looks good for her age. You've just walked straight into the thing I wanted to talk about.

I know. She is sick to death of people saying to her, you look good for your age. Because she's like, what does that mean? What are you doing? What are you doing with that? It's kind of a backhanded compliment. Is it? Because she eats the same salad every day.

What was she talking about? That was Victoria Beckham, wasn't it? No, but doesn't she always just eat a salad? Does she? Yeah. Was she talking about it on the Smart List podcast or they were talking about it? But she always eats the same thing.

I mean, salads rule, but they've got to be different every day. She does look incredible. If you like salads, you're going to love sandwiches. Or a salad inside something. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that's a wild call. Sometimes you toast it. Would you get sick of this? Hell yeah. Because what are you, why don't you just say, man, you look great. Would you get sick of this? Hell yeah. Because what are you, why don't you just say, man, you look grey. You're looking grey.

You don't need to, you're saying you don't need to bring, and she's the agent. You don't need to bring the agent. Little backhanded compliments. Yeah, right. She's sick to death of it. So I wanted to talk about

whether the compliments that you get that you are absolutely sick of hearing. I'm trying to think about which ones I get. You're so hot. Do you get sick of that? Never get sick of hearing. I'm trying to think about which ones I get. You're so hot. Do you get sick of that? Never get sick of that. Never? Yeah.

Someone said to me, I'm too hot to be funny. Ross Boss found that hilarious. Choked on a sandwich. What being funny is primarily the business of ugly people. The ugly women's sport. Yeah. Someone was like, it doesn't make sense that you're funny because you're quite hot.

And I was like, okay, which one should I tone down? Yeah, but then were you at the same time, were you like, I'm hot? I am hot, but I'm also funny, you know? Yeah, or definitely like women get a lot, if they put on weight, people being like, you look healthy. Oh, yeah.

They're not saying it because you look healthy. They're being like, you've got some fat on you now. I can tell you're eating food. Yeah. Yeah. Muscly for a girl. I don't know. There's so many that women get.

But I'm sure there are. You want to open up the phone lines. You want to hear from people. I want them wide open. Phone lines wide open. Phone lines wide open. Text machine bursting open. 0800-DARLS-NM is the number. You can text 9696.

What's the compliment you get that you hate and why? Backhanded compliments. Maybe not hate. But it is. It's the backhanded compliments. Yeah. You know, it's hard to take it as a compliment because there's backhand. Yeah, totally.

Oh, my God. I think you've got such nice smile lines. I love your, oh, my God, I love your, I love your janky nose. I love your aging face. Yeah. Oh, my God, your boobs are so fun and zanky. I don't know. I don't know what compliments you get, but maybe you hate it.

Jen Anderson. Stop saying to her she looks good for her age. She's 54 years old. And I understand the impulse to say, gosh, she looks good for her age. But what is for your age? You're kind of, you're deducing, not deducing, minimising the compliment by saying... You say, you just look great.

You look great? You look great. You look great. Oh, my God. Can I just, side thought, why do we keep going on about how great, like Cher just walked the catwalk, right, for someone. They're like, oh, my God, Cher looks amazing. She looks amazing. She's in her 70s.

Yeah. Are we just, like, are we pretending we don't know why? Are we just like, how did she do it? Her Armenian genes. No, she's literally. Stretching her face. Stretched her face back across her skull 50 times at this point. And we're like, how did she do it?

She stretches well. She does stretch out well. Although we went to the show, remember she doesn't dance like a 73-year-old nana. Does she go for it? Absolutely goes for it. Dance is good for her age. She's really good for her age, yeah. What?

I'm just saying all of that is like hell with bulldog clips behind her. We want to know this morning the compliment that you get that you hate. Kat, good morning. What's that compliment that you hate? Hey, mine's not for me. It's my baby. Okay. She always gets, oh, she's quite big for her age or she's so nice and chunky. And I just feel like you'd never say that to an adult.

No, you can't say that. You also can't go up to an adult and pull down their pants and squeeze their thigh rolls and be like, I love it. Roly-poly. Probably not. I know. I get that it's like, stop fat shaming my kid. Yeah. But also, I love a chunky baby.

It's good to have a bit of chunk on, isn't it? You need a chunk on a baby. You need a chunk on the baby. Yeah. Is that bad to say as well? I don't know. I don't know.

I'm scared. Okay, thanks for your call. Keep your texts coming in. 9696. My hairdresser tried to convince me not to get bangs because it would hide my broad, beautiful forehead.

Broad. Broad. Let's not hide that beautiful, broad forehead of yours. I broke my jaw and had it literally wired shut. I lost 12 kgs from quite literally starving. I look terrible and people say, oh, my God, you look amazing. I wish I broke my jaw.

Yeah. Did they record an album like Kanye West did? Through the wire. Through the wire. Remember they did that whole album? Kanye worked there. Pre-issues. I believe I have

shared with our listeners when my friend who is now one of my best friends but when we just met each other I'd seen him and he'd dropped a ton

of weight and I said Sam you look incredible. He was like yes well I do have cancer so I was like wow okay. That'll do it.

Let me just cross the road and hope a bus hits me. Right now we are taking your, the compliments you get that you think are kind of insulting because Jennifer Aniston's like, stop saying that I look good for my age.

Just say I look good. Just say I look good. You look good, babe. And so we want to know the compliments you get. There are some wild messages. Some of them you won't be able to say on air. Backhanded compliment I get, this message reads, I love your confidence.

And I know it's for the fact I'm a girl that maybe is on the heavier side of the scales. Why would I not be confident? You read a couple of messages in from self-proclaimed curvy girls saying they get a lot of, you've got such a pretty face. Yeah. Wow. I'm a female mountain biker. I've been told I'm too pretty

To do mountain biking Yeah Keep a tree You don't want to hit a tree And ruin it all do you Yeah There's such a shame Of bad faith

I laugh hard When there's a video Of a mountain biker Having a crash into a tree But you shouldn't do that If you're hot What a waste of a beautiful face Yeah

I'm kidding I'm joking I've been told I look too hot To be a twin. No, that was a rule. You had to split your hotness so you had, you know, together you had the average hotness of one person but

apart you were just like a couple of half mingers. I know a few beautiful twins. I think of the twins I know, more of them are good looking than not. Yeah. And there's two of them. Oh.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But is there something in the fact that there's two of them? Yeah, I don't know. And you can just be like, just a little bit of average, but there's two of them.

And you're like. Never thought that was a thing. No, neither did I. Okay. I hate it when people are complimenting my accent. I.E. I love your accent. Where are you from?

And I say, um, mata mata. Very, very localised regional accent there. Oh, is it because it's real? Mira, mira. Kiwi. Could be pretty kiwi there. I keep getting that you're doing so well to stay calm and patient, I couldn't do that, in reference to parenting my sons,

the insinuation being that they're awful little devils. They probably are. They little devils they probably are if other people are saying that I reckon they are I reckon they're annoying that person and being too rough with their kids that's what I'd say as someone who has said

almost that exact same thing to someone who I wish would be a little less chilled out with their child that's I don't know it's on the verge of strangling mine. Yeah. You look nice today. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's a compliment. Yeah. You've just chosen to pick it apart. Do you find this, and I know because we all say this to you, when you have a really trim beard. You look younger. You look younger and you look really nice. People say that.

How haggard do I look? Because I don't look like this often. Yeah. I don't put youth on a pedestal as someone should all aim to look like. Yeah.

That's beautiful, babe. But it's just more than... I mean, what if I was a woman? Yeah. Because, I mean, we're just getting better with age over here. You guys are...

It's all fallen off. It's horrible. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Have you thought about hiding it with a beard? I lasered my beard off and that was my mistake. There you go. I love this message in, you don't look gay.

Is that a compliment? That's from a woman saying. That sounds like, oh, from a woman. Because if you said it to a man, it would be an insult. You don't look like nicely trimmed and well-dressed like I expect gay men to be. Yes. You look like a scruffy girl.

You're a scruffy, rough, dirty hetero. No, she says, I guess I'm female, so I guess I look too femme to be gay. Oh, yeah, right. They were expecting what, like a ute and a... A shaved head and a ute and a tank top. Yeah. Yeah.

God. I've often been told that I've got great ankles. I do, but that means you scanned the entire body before you found something you like. Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly. Play ZM. Yesterday, ow! I was literally on my computer, just electric shocked my wrist.

Is that woolen vest? Yeah. Built up on electric static charge. I don't know if a laptop should be giving you an electric shock, though. I always get electric shocked. Sometimes if I put my mouth too close to the mic, it'll get my lip. It's the wool. She's technically shocking the computer.

Oh, I'm sorry, computer. You've built up an electric static charge, and then you touch something little. I am electric. It's a woolly jumper, is it? Yeah, I'm sorry, computer. You've built up an electrostatic charge. Oh. And then you touch something metal. I am electric. It's a woolly jumper, is it? Yeah, I don't know what it's actually made of. You might need to go back to polyester or acrylic. The girlies loved it this morning.

The girlies love a vest. What have we got? It's got to be wool. Alpaca, merino, and nylon blend. Oh, must be nice. Being that warm in that. Well, that's why you're getting little electric shocks. You might need to run a rope or a wire down to the ground.

An earthing wire. Do I need a doctor? I'll go get a sledgehammer and we'll drive an earthing wire into the ground so your static charge can be equally distributed. Now, do we clip that to Hayley or the vest? Me. Both. Both. Okay. Plug it in. Wherever you choose. Yeah, great.

Yesterday, a busy day. At one point, I think there were six tradies at our house. Because you're getting renovations. Getting renovations. We had four builders. We had our consultant and we had the air con guy around all at once. Yeah. And then it was lunchtime and they all did mass evacuation and popped away for a little bit.

And it was at that moment that I realised that my inner thighs were burning. And I was like, far out, man. Something's burning. And I had a little look, pulled up me culottes and... Had a squiz. Had a squiz and noticed that on both insides of my thighs

I had this big eczema breakout that has obviously come from... Oh, goodness. What, I had this big eczema breakout that has obviously come from. What's stressing? What's eczema again? Skin condition. Is it fungal? No, eczema's eczema. Is it a fungal?

I don't know. No, eczema's, yeah, but it's. Eczema's like dry, red, crout. It's hard to spell. Eczema. Fungal's like athlete's foot is what you're thinking of. Eczema. Yeah, no, not fungal.

I don't have fungal thighs. I tried to Google eczema and it said did you mean Christmas. Eczema doesn't have an X in it. Doesn't it? No, E-C-Z-E-M-A. It's a skin condition. It isn't contagious. That's good.

Now, if Dr. Shawnee was listening, resident show doctor, he would say hydrocortisone, right? But in the moment, I just didn't have anything on it. I mean, I think that's 95% of doctors' answers to any skin condition. Yeah, yeah. Even eye condition. What's a great cream? Fatty cream or?

Fatty cream, sorbolene or hydrocortisone. Anyway, I had a little look and I was like, oh, far out. I didn't even know that was there. No wonder. And I've been rubbing against it all day and irritating it. So I went into, we had the door open all day yesterday. It was a beautiful, beautiful day. Beautiful day.

And you know, my bed at the moment is in the lounge. So the front door opens, there's the bed. Yep. Looking out to the driveway. And I sat on the bed and I rolled up my culottes and I got my Aveeno, because my legs in general are a bit dry. And and I thought this is probably what's making it worse. I'll give this a moisturiser. Yeah, so I spread, I had my legs spread

and I was absolutely going to town on my inner thighs with the Aveeno. Yeah. Giving it a nice moisturiser. Now, you see, if a guy was telling the story, I'd say nonsense. You were caught having a play with yourself. No, I wasn't having a play with myself on the bed with the door open. But I feel like if Hayley was, you'd just say that.

Look, there's my eczema patches. You can see them. Are you sure that's not contagious? Your angle, you might see a bit more. When you look, you don't. I didn't look too hard. I didn't look too hard. But it was really dry and sore and irritated,

so I started like, I was really massaging it. Like a baker and a dough? I was kneading the thighs. Kneading the thighs. And working in this. And I was so into it, and I had music playing yesterday. I'm really in a soul moment in my life. I've listened to a lot of soul music.

Right. And I was listening to soul music, massaging my inner thighs, and I didn't hear a van puller. And it was the lovely people at Harvey Furnishings who had come to pick up a sample that we had. And I didn't hear him, and I didn't hear crunch, crunch, crunch. We go to Gravel Driveway. And then I just caught him eyeing me as he walked towards the front door

and saw me lubricating my inner thighs. And the position was literally wide. Right. Eagled. Spread eagled. Spread eagled. Wow. Right, okay.

But I wasn't doing anything sexual. I was dealing with a skin rash, which is actually the opposite of sexual. Yeah. With this poor fella. Oh, right. He got a look. He definitely got a look. He didn't say, I was wearing undies.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I had the culottes all pulled up. Yeah. Oh, what a shame you were wearing undies here, I bet he thought, after seeing your heavily chafed inner thigh. Yeah. I don't think he would have. And the thick spreading of a vino onset inner thigh.

I bet he was like, oh, man, wish them panties weren't on. Yeah. Something for the boys. I don't think there was, I just, he barely said anything. He took the two carpets, the fabric samples. He's like, you haven't touched these. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

He's like, actually, don't worry about those. You can keep them. Keep them. Burn them. You can keep them. Anyway, I apologise to the lovely fella at Harvey Furnishings. So you think it was stress that triggered it? Because now I'm very interested in XMR.

I've always been XMR. I've never had it. Dry weather, fabrics or clothing. It could have been your alpaca, merino, nylon. A lot of dry weather at the moment because it's... For me, winter, I never have eczema in summer. But winter, the water, the harshness of water. And remember, I'm showering at the bloody gym at the moment.

Right. And I don't know. And also, yeah, the culottes are a bit loose, I think. And they were rubbing against me in the thighs. Well, next on the showottes are a bit loose, I think, and they were rubbing against my inner thighs. Well, next on the show, another condition, IBS. Oh, great. Let's just get into the body. Am I talking about IBS?

Oh, no. So there is a new hypothesis, a new thought about IBS that I thought I would put to you as someone that deals with it. So you, someone who doesn't deal with it, are going to tell me how to cure it because boy oh boy, we've had those before. No, no, no. I'm trying to help. Are you trying to booze?

Because we don't have it. So we're just trying to help. Yeah, right. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Present.

All we've covered this morning is your rash. And now you're external and now you're internal. Is your fact of the day about my ovaries? Because then we're just sort of getting the whole trifecta. Hold on, I can't remember what fact of the day was about. I wrote it last night. Give us a little tease. It's about your nipples.

No, it's not. Touches briefly on nipples. Oh, does it? Which is actually The best way to Engage with the nipple Just a brief touch That's completely up to you

IBS The cause of which is unknown Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Symptoms Abdominal Abdominal snowman Abdominal pain A change in your bowel habits Blo bloating and swelling of your stomach,

excessive wind, in brackets. Flatulence. Yep. Close brackets. Farts. More brackets, parentheses, farts. Occasionally experience an inurgent need to move one's bowels. Or the opposite.

15% of adults suffer from IBS worldwide, and they don't really know how to fix it, eh? There's so many different causes for it. A lot of it is like the mind-gut connection. Like stress is such a trigger for IBS. And then remember we talked a few weeks ago about I have a feeling that my IBS was brought on by some medication because I haven't had it my whole life.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, Brennan Spiegel at Cedars-Sinai, which is where you go if you're famous in Hollywood and have an overdose. Yes. Really? Yeah. He specializes in health technology, digital health, virtual reality, and gastroenterology.

So he's a bit of an expert on the old system. Right. From mouth to anus. Yes. Through there, he has a wild hypothesis. Yeah. Now, brace yourself, Sproul, because what are your two wildest fears in the world?

Oh, my God. Okay, three. Other than moths. M-O-T-H-ers. Yeah. Two, space, wide open space. Three, the deep blue ocean. I just want to vomit.

So, wide open space. Three, the deep blue ocean. I just want to vomit. So, wide open space, perhaps. He hypothesises that IBS is caused by a gravitational intolerance and the body's inability to manage gravity. I thought it was an intolerance to, like, onions. No. Onions and gravity, perhaps. Yeah, turns out you're allergic to just being on earth. The body's usual management of gravity, if it fails,

the diaphragm can slip down, compress the intestines, possibly causing issues such as cramping, lightheadedness, sweating, rapid heartbeat and back issues, as well as overall bacterial overgrowth. Oh, SIBO. Yeah. So you've got to go to space. I can't. I don't want to.

I don't want to go up that high. So, what if it was a plane that went into the atmosphere? No, that's even worse. Really? Yeah, when you see the line where it changes from black to blue. No. Oh, I'd like to see that line. I'd love to see that line.

I have... I'd love to go to space way more than the ocean. Way more than the deep ocean. Same. If you were given the chance, like what's his name, the actor? William Shatner. William Shatner. Yeah. He cried.

He cried. He said he looked down and saw death. Do you think you would go? Well, he is in his 90s, I mean. He looks down and sees an overturned corner of a rug and he's avoided death. Yeah. But would you go, you guys? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, I'd have to check with Sade. We might have plans. We might have plans! No, she doesn't. I've talked about it before. She's like, absolutely, you wouldn't. And she just like, you couldn't do that to us.

Vaughn gets home. I'm going up in the space rocket next Saturday. She's like, you know that the school fundraiser is on. We've got that. Now I'm going to hear about it from all the school mums because you said you'd do it and now you're going to space instead. You were supposed to be emceeing. Oh, goddammit, Vaughn.

You can ring them and tell them. See, I would rather do that than go in an underwater submarine to the bottom of the ocean. That's a no-no for me. No way. That's a big no. That's a big no-no. That's a no-no for me. No way. That's a big no. That's a big no-no. That's a big no.

So this guy also hypothesises that the gut is a G-force detector, like something that we've evolved, because humanity obviously has evolved here on Earth, where the gravity's the same.

So we've become used to it. So when it changes, that's where you feel it in the stomach. Like, you know, when you go over a thing in the road, you similar to that. Or when you fall, you feel it in the stomach way more than the brain. Yes. Which is the computer. So it should be doing it, but it's often the stomach.

Well, maybe you need to do the free fall a bit more at Rainbow Zone every day. We do work next to the Auckland Sky Tower. I could just jump off that every morning. No, because it's over-pred I could just jump off that every morning. Well, no, that's... No, no, no, because it's over-predicting G-force threats that never occur. So that's the link back to the brain. I thought we knew where the G-spots were.

I always feel that one on my tummy too. But you feel it in your tummy. I know, it's a weird one. It's so far up. So that's what he said. He believes and they've strapped some stuff onto the brain and they've measured when there's going to be a fall, what parts of the brain react,

and it's the same part of the brain that reacts with the gut. So it's that gut-brain link that people talk about. And he's like, maybe it's just some people have got this programming that's telling them to prepare for a gravitational threat that never happens and so it upsets the stomach.

This is just his thoughts at this early stage. It's a hypothesis. It's a fascinating hypothesis. Wow, okay. Does that help in any way? Well, I was already afraid of what gravity

was going to do to my body as I get older, so it's just another thing to get excited about, I guess. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is the stage of frostbite before frostbite is called frost nip.

Oh, because it's just a bit nippy? Yep. Because it's just a nip and natch. Well, it's frostbite. Yep. You've been bitten by a jack frost. Yep. A smaller bite is a nip.

A little nip. You wouldn't want a frost maul, would you? No, no. You don't want a frost maul. No. You'd be gone. Right. So frost nip is described as a very mild form of frostbite.

And when I think about this, this was childhood. Continued cold exposure leads to numbness in the affected area. As your skin warms, you may feel pain and tingling. Frost nip doesn't cause permanent damage. That was... Running around playing rugby as a seven-year-old. Yeah, in bare feet. In bare feet in the 80s.

Oh. Yeah. And then they'd make you walk across the big car park that was big, thick, chunky bits of stone to the carry-on club rooms for a bloody cold pack of chips and a Milo. And a Savloy. Do you have Savloys? No. Milo, no milk.

Do you have a Savloy? Yeah. Lucky. I know. Must be nice. Pretty good. I think it was Milo. I think they'd done some sort of deal with them.

Yeah. Right, okay. And then your feet would be, or when you're a kid and you'd be tearing around, I'd say, I don't want to say summer because it was always warm, but maybe autumn nights you'd be tearing around with your mates and your bare feet on the grass and then you'd come in and hop into the bath and your feet would just like sting. Oh my God, that'd be so sore. Yeah.

And do you know what else this has reminded me of? Earth shock. Oh, when you jump off something. When you know what else this has reminded me of? Earth shock. Oh, when you jump on something. When you were up and down on something. Or you'd just be hanging, and then for the first time you'd like drop onto your feet. Forget to bend the knees. And you'd just like, and it would show. I haven't had earth shock as an adult.

I feel like it would be one of those things that would be so much worse as an adult. Like it would drop you. Yeah. You'd shatter your kneecaps. You'd do an Achilles, do an ACL ACL, pulling muscle, break something. God, the things that happen when you're a kid, hey, remember getting winded? Falling off a tree and landing on your back and be like... I've been winded a couple of times as an adult.

It's not nice. Producer Jared wants to correct you. He said it's actually called ground shock and he's called you a boomer. Earth shock isn't weird. It was when you came back down to Earth. So, producer Jared South African, they call Magi Maggie. Yeah, yeah, shut up, Maggie. Let's not forget that you call Magi Maggie.

And you call Maggie Smith, Magi Smith. I mean, it's just bizarre. And Magi from The Simpsons. Yeah. It's definitely called Ground Shock. 100%. Yep. Ground Shock.

I think it is Ground Shock. Not Earth Shock. No. Ground Shock. That's stupid. I don't think it needed to be a Not earth shock. No. Ground shock. That's stupid. I don't think it needed to be a pylon, though. We could have just quickly corrected him. Ground shock.

Vaughn, I think it's ground shock, not earth shock. Ground shock. Somebody else said ground shock. Definitely ground shock. We just called it earth shock. Moran's not low. No, not we. Don't bring us in.

You did. Ground shock. Somebody else said ground shock. You boomer. Why? It's an age thing. We just got like 10 messages in. Wow. Yeah, shock. Somebody else said ground shock. You boomer. Why? It's an age thing. We just got like 10 messages in.

Wow. Yeah. Why do you call it ground shock? I don't know. Earth shock. When you hit the ground. Yeah.

Someone said they've had it as an adult. It's not good. Yeah. No. No. We know better as adults because we did it

so much as kids. Ground shock. Ground shock. No. I just don't think we're climbing high on adventure playgrounds and jumping off

onto the bark anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So Nip, Frost Nip. Nip Frost, Frost Nip. Nip Frost is different. It can be kind of nice.

Yeah. But Frost Nip is the official name of the stage before Frostbite. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Lasso was done so I could watch it in a rush. Because some people were like humming and harring about it and then we found out Carwen watched season three as the first ever. Come on, there was season one and two, the character build, the arcs, the everything, the whole story and then she's like, oh, wasn't that great?

I was watching it week to week. Hard. Hard, yeah. Well, we had an interview, didn't we, with Coach Baird. Yeah, co-creator. So I had the first three episodes, so I watched those just so we could know what we were talking about. Yeah, yeah.

And then I just got hooked. I watched them at the gym, which is where I do most of my TV watching. And then I think it was the last episode was quite long. Yeah, it was like an hour 20 or something. The second to last episode had a couple of moments, like a sort of moment. Yeah, it was like an hour 20 or something. The second to last episode had a couple of moments, like a sort of moment. And then I watched the last

episode at home and I was lying on the couch watching it. And then Sade was just sitting on the couch beside me doing something else. She was on the other couch. Must be nice having his and hers couches. Yeah.

I mean, you've got one couch for one person. We've got two couches for four people. So I'm just saying couch per person. I can put a lot of people on my couch too. Yeah, it's a big couch. It's got a chassé. Yeah. Is that what that said? A what? Chassés. Chays. No, it's chartreuse. Oh, lovely. Those are different things. Lovely and refreshing.

Oh, men. Am I right, ladies? You can fit more people on your big chassé couch if they're having chartreuse as well. You can stack people up three high. So I was watching and she was talking to me about something and I was just watching the last episode. And

I was just watching Ted Lasso and I was just like silently weeping. Like the tears were just like rolling down my face and I wasn't like hiding it but I was just like silently weeping. Like the tears were just like rolling down my face. And I wasn't like hiding it, but I was just like, it was such, I love that TV show. You do. It's so good.

It's got some really beautiful, sweet, tender moments, doesn't it? There's parenting moments. There's friendship moments. There's like guys opening up to their friends moments. There's woman overcoming, you know, men that are wrong. There's everything on this show. It's a beautiful, brilliant, lovely show. And when it was finishing, it just kind of started tying all the loose ends up.

And I was like, it's all coming together so beautifully. So like tears were rolling down my face. And then Shadow was talking to me. She looked at me. She's like, wait a minute, are you crying? And I said, and I turned and I looked at her and she was like, oh my God. Like I had the red eyes, the puffy red eyes and the tears rolling on my face. I hadn't been wiping them.

You know, sometimes it's nice to let tears roll all the way down to wherever they're going to end up. Yeah. Sometimes they end up in your mouth. I love that. Sometimes they end up in your mouth. And they're real salty. Real salty. Real salty.

If they get through my neck, it's something because they've got to go through this jungle. Oh, true. They've got to go through the bush before they get to the neck. So most of the time they'll end up in my bed and stop there. Yeah. Or drip. I love a good fat cry. So I was doing that.

And then she's like, you were right. And I hadn't spoken. Yeah. So then when I tried to speak, I was like, it's just. And then it was just like. And then I was breathing. And she's like, what's wrong? What's wrong?

And I'm like, it's the show. And she's like, I kind of pause it. And she's like, are you okay? I was like, yeah, I'm okay. She's like, what's wrong? What's wrong? And I'm like, it's the show. And she's like, I kind of pause it and she's like, are you okay? I was like, yeah, I'm okay. She's like, is it happy? Sad? Like, what are the tears? I said, it's just tears. And then I was just like, I'm just going to ride it. And then I let the

breathing overtake me and I was doing that. And she's like, come here. And she was like, it's okay. And then that made me go, she's like, what's wrong? I was like, nothing, I just think maybe I'm a bit tired, and then I just rode it. So I sat down and I watched the last five minutes, and I was like weeping.

I was like, and then it finished, and I was like, oh, it's over, and then I stood up and I walked outside to get some fresh air, and then it was a kind of nice day, and I was like, oh, yeah, it's over. And then I stood up and I walked outside to get some fresh air and then it was the kind of nice day and I was like. Life is so beautiful. And I just let it, I just, oh, God, it felt good. I'm jealous hearing about it. It was a good cry. And afterwards I felt like, you know, I always, this is weird,

but I always sleep so well after a funeral. Yeah, I always sleep well after a fat cry. Fat cry at a funeral. And I'm terrible to well after a funeral. Yeah, I always sleep well after a fat cry. Fat cry at a funeral. And I'm terrible to take to a funeral. I'll go to a funeral, but the minute I see an old dude crying about it or someone gets up and says something super lovely about their grandparents, I'm on. Yeah, yeah, you're all go.

Clock me in as a member of the family. I'm bawling more than the bereaved. It's inappropriate. I'm a friend of a friend and I'm upset. I've got my little pack of tissues and I'm going through them like mad because I'm crying. And, yeah, it just felt good and I just rode it and I just let it happen. Good on you.

And then at the end, Sade's like, you all right? Is everything okay? I was like, yep, it's out of my system now. I feel good. I've had a cry. And I'm not going to leave it as long before the next one, which is great because the new season of Bluey started this week. And you know those little five-minute episodes of that animated dog from Australia?

Get me going. Fletch, when was the last time you had a big cry? 2004. He's saving it for his heart attack. 2004, like 20 years ago. No, I don't know. It would have been a while ago. You're not a big crier.

Not a big crier, no. I thought I was in it up. Last night? Night before. Night before. And then two days before that, because I think I've mentioned this before, I trained myself to cry to Rhinestone Cowboy. And it came on my playlist and I was like, hell yeah, man, let's lean in. And I

same thing, big wet tears running. I was driving, running down my cheeks. I haven't had a driving cry for a long time. If you feel you need a flush out, do you put that song on? Yeah, because I've trained myself to have a journey through the song and I can just cry like that. People do that. They put on a movie they know will make them cry.

Yeah, watch Marley and Me and something. A running cry also rules. Oh, okay. Because your breathing's already a bit like. Yeah, I've cried at the gym. You're sweating and you're crying. You can't see they're crying, but it feels good and you kind of. I saw someone crying at the gym the other week.

I was like, I don't know where to look. This is. But I was like, I can't stop looking. Sometimes I cry when it hurts so good. You know, like when it's really heavy and you're thinking. And you start to cry. Yeah, I've cried. I've cried in a pump class.

During the squat track. Yep. 100%. During the squat track. I remember crying. When was the first time you had the gym crying that you saw? No, they were just in a corner. Wait, so the sort of situation where you say,

are you okay? Is everything all right? No, I know somebody. We're the average human with emotions. We'd be like, is everything okay? Is there anything I can help you with? No, I think someone did go up to her, but she just stayed there. I was like, I'm not getting involved in this.

You just got to get it out sometimes. It's not my business. It's not your business, but they might be like, they're silent cry for help. And if they're like, oh, you know, I'm fine. I'm just venting a cry. You're not the person to go over and help a crying person. I'm not the person to go and help a crying person.

Thank you, Hayley. Thank you for recognising I'm not the person. I say it with love, but that's not your job. Thank you. I would love to know now, when was the last time you had a good cry? Yes. A good cry. Maybe whatever caused it or like just,

not even caused it, sometimes it just releases it maybe. Yeah. The tool of release for a good cry, what it was. I breathed once and then cried. Remember when I went to breathing therapy? You had a good breath. I was like taking a big breath and I was like. She's like, no, Hayley, taking a big breath.

And I went. Making the tears. God, no, Hayley, take in a big breath. And I went. Make the tears. God, therapy. Loved it. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. What triggered a beautiful cry? Yes.

Or were you just, let's have it. Let's see. Let's ride this wave and see where it goes. Somebody messaged, I'm a vet. I'd imagine being a vet. Yeah. One day I had a crap day, I had six euthanasias.

I got home, my husband asked me how my day was and I just burst into tears. He was very confused, but it just felt it was out and I just let it ride, baby. Had to put down six tabbies, hon. Tough job, tough job.

Tough job. Somebody said, what about the American Idol clip of the young Samoan fella that sung James Blunt Monster in his audition and dedicated to his dad that had just passed away? Absolutely lost. Goosey. You love an America's Got Talent, don't you?

I love an America's Got Talent. I love a young kid with a good voice. Yes, any kind of talent show clip. You love the vets coming home. Oh, my God, I love the war vets. The war vets coming home and their dogs seeing them. And they remember. And the dog doesn't know and then he just walks in

and the dog's like, oh, you know, what's that smell? Or when the dad comes home from war or from the army. Oh, no, no, no, no. Surprises the kid at school. Got ya, got ya. I watched one where the dad got home from a tour of Afghanistan and showed up at the daughter's prom and walked in and the daughter was just like... Oh, my God, I just got... I'm getting goosey.

Maybe I'll get a good cry out. Jo, what gave you a good cry? Well, firstly, a long-time listener, first-time caller. Where's the bell? Where's the bell? It's there, it's there, it's there. It's in no man's land. Yay! Welcome to the show, Jo.

Welcome. Thank you. So what set you off? Oh my God. Okay, so NZ Post have the most brilliant marketing team. I know.

Every Christmas for the past few years they play this ad. It's going to set me off. They play that, is it Fleetwood Mac? That like Tell Me Lies song? Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

Boom, they're gone. Tell me lies. And as the family members are like lying about the Christmas presents they're buying each other, they're like, their noses are growing. And then the mum says, like to their regular postie, oh, you must hate this time of year. And he says no, because he actually loves Christmas. And his nose doesn't.

So he's telling the truth. Are you crying a little bit now, Jo? Oh my God, I need to put my jacket on. I'm getting chills. Like, maybe a little. Fester Fibs is the name of it. What's that famous British company that every year they release their Christmas ad? Is it John Lewis?

John Lewis. Yeah, might be. You should go and watch the back catalogue Oh, yeah. Is it John Lewis? John Lewis. Yeah, it might be. You should go and watch the back catalogue. Have you ever seen these John Lewis? Every year. Their goal is to make you cry. And every year they get it. Absolutely nail it.

Joe, thank you. Michael, what set you off for a good cry recently? Yeah, look, it's just a real common one. So it's not out of the ordinary. It's just the built-up pressure over the week. You know, you hit hump day and then you wake up in the morning, hear an alarm, you hobble into the shower and then you just sit down for a bit and just have a bit

of a cry. Just let it all be weird. Yeah, man. So every Thursday or Wednesday? Yeah, every Wednesday you just sit down, you have a cry and then it sets me up for the rest of my week. Oh, yeah. Did you have a cry this morning, Michael? What was that, sorry?

Did you have a Wednesday cry today? Oh, every Wednesday. Every Wednesday. Yeah, he schedules it. And the other thing that is actually really brilliant, Michael, a Wednesday weep. Yeah. A wet Wednesday weep.

And everything else is all right? You're okay? Yeah, everything's all good. My brother and I, we always call after our Wednesday morning cries. We have it at the same time. So it's a good, sometimes we need to cry, you know? Hell yeah, mate. I love that.

Good to you. I think you're making more than cry. You call your brother. What a beautiful, how was yours? You'll be all right. That's good. Have a Wednesday cry from now on. I promise you it's good.

Thank you. I don't know if I've got time in the morning because I had snooze twice. Yeah, we get up at four, but I don't have the idea. I'm going to need a real late pass for Wednesday because once I get going. Totally. Michael, thank you so much for sharing. We want to know what set you off and gave you a big fat cry. I nearly cried because I just found some scorched almonds in my bag.

Which you've started eating. You're not allowed to eat scorched almonds. No, no. These are low carb. 1.2 grams of carbs per serve. Are they keto, are they? Yeah. That's a loophole.

You got some chocolate on your lip. Do I? Let's give it a lick. That's an absolute loophole. We're taking your messages and calls. It's a funny thing

setting people off. Well, let's go to the producer's booth because I know there's two examples and one's good and one's Shannon. What made you

cry last week? We can't, yep. Yes, I was off sick all of last week. You were, we missed you so much. Oh, Hayley, thank you. You're going to make me cry. And I was really down about it and I just felt a bit like worthless and I felt like I didn't...

Wait a minute, you didn't... No, no, that makes me sound like an arsehole. You didn't precursor what we were doing with this story about feeling worthless. Oh, my God. She was so ill last week, feeling worthless, and you've just said, who dumb, Shannon's dumb.

Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, the dumb's coming. Yeah, the dumb's coming. But I was just feeling really down and I was like, what makes me feel better? And I was like, my favourite trashy show, Below Deck. There's a new episode out, and I went to multiple, maybe dodgy websites trying to find it,

and I couldn't find it anywhere. Did you go to the Bay of Pirates, did you? And I just broke down sobbing, and I just remember, like, out loud to myself just being like, why is nothing going my way? Okay, so she didn't tell me that way? Like, I just feel like. Okay, so she didn't tell me that. She said I cried last week when I couldn't find an episode of Below Deck for 20 minutes.

It was a compiling of it. Yeah, and I just felt like I was like, I just want to watch my favourite show. I mean, Below Deck is straight up trash, but good for you. It was, I found it yesterday and I cried and then I watched it twice. I watched it back to back. Oh my God. But it just was a little cry yesterday. Over and over.

Yeah, I literally got to the last credits and then hit the little spin back button. Go again. Jesus. Bless you. And producer Jared sent me and he's like, he gets it now because he watched the first episode of the new season of Bluey.

Did you cry at Bluey? I didn't just cry. I was like snot. Did you weep? I? I didn't just cry. I was like snot. Did you weep? I was weeping. It's a cartoon. No, it's not. It's so much more.

His dad was at the army. Have you seen the book? Rusty loves cricket, okay? And his dad's in Iraq or wherever dogs get sent on Australian military duty. And he can't be there to help his son play cricket, but he just keeps practising. So when his dad gets home from war he's good at cricket. You've upset Jared.

And then right at the end, I don't want to spoil it, I'll leave it up to you, but there's a lot to take in from the new episode of Bluey. Right, okay. And Anthony from the Wiggles voices the dad. Okay. It's a lot to go. Some more messages in to finish. Carwood's crying.

Eve, what's he's crying. Eve was just crying. Is this really crying? Was this all just for us? My vet has a candle they light when a pet gets put down and a sign saying when lit please be quiet. I read it as pying and barely got outside before I had a full cry and I had to sit

in my car just bawling because somebody and then I saw someone carrying a box out. Oh for God's sake. Every time I watch Billy Elliot when the dad runs up the hill with excitement after Billy gets into ballet school, the dad's pride kills me every single time. I could watch it every single day and I'd cry every single time. Oh God, when he watches his

grown son come out of Black Swan Swan Lake and he comes out and the dad goes he like inhales sharply yes chills oh workmate once pointed out

I had a zit on my forehead and I cried a little bit different but that's I can see it's good to have a cry good to have a cry

um the ad that sets me off is where the Ambutine man goes to the SPCA and adopts a three legged dog oh my god I know that was for a power company oh yeah it was

then the dog's dead now in real life that rocked me when they were like yeah they did a press release they were like this beautiful little star

Will Lewis Capaldi's Wish You the Best music video? That's about a dog. Oh, I don't watch it. I went. It made me cry. Somebody said this was a really weird sort of whole mix of emotion. I work with a lady in her late 50s. It was the end of the day.

She just shut her computer down for the day and went to stand up. But when she stood up, she remembered she'd forgotten to do something. So she went to sit back down. Problem was her chair had rolled away from her. I looked over just in time to see her, almost in slow motion, sit back down, sit on the right front of the chair. So the chair flipped and whacked her in the back of the head. She flops onto the ground.

It was Friday. I was tired and then I started giggling, but the giggling turned into like a full-blown like sobbing, snot, short little breaths, crying and everything was just this rollercoaster of emotions as I watched this woman flop to the floor. Sometimes laughter opens you up to then have a good cry.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's just that same part of the brain, right? Your emotions and everything's just flying and you just... Have one. Have one. Let it out. It's good. It's good.

I'm blocked now. I need to get in my car and put on some rhinestone cowboy. Let it all out. Let it out. It's good. It's good. I'm blocked now. I need to get in my car and put on some rhinestone cowboy. Let it all out. Have a flush. You don't follow behind her on the motorway if she's going to do that then. She'll be weaving.
