The ZM Podcast Network.
The Fletchforn and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fletchforn and Hayley, happy Cup Day.
To our Canterbury listeners, there'll be a few who are...
And just remember the police have said to drink responsibly.
Yeah.
And so that'll do it.
Another place, so you bloody listen to them.
That'll do it.
Yeah, there you go.
Done.
Coming up on the show, the top six Harry Styles.
He's got a buzz cut.
He shaved his head.
Yep.
Because they were like, he's done it.
And then people were like, no, he's just a joke.
He hasn't done it.
And he shaved all of his hair off.
He had done it.
He had.
All along.
So I've got the top six.
And people are livid, apparently.
I've got the top six hairstyles he could have got that would have been worse than a buzz cut.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
Silly little post.
I haven't had a good look at the shape of his head.
No, no, no.
He saw a side thing from the concert.
Yeah, I saw it.
Yeah, yeah, it was a concert that he was at.
I need to have a good look at the dome.
Does he have the shape of the head to carry the skin of a ball?
He's not balding though, is he?
No, no, no.
No, full hair.
But he's got good hair.
Just after a different look, a bit of a change.
Yeah, silly little poll on the way.
Some supermarkets in the UK are going back to humans on the checkout.
Maybe because too many people are nicking stuff from the self-serve checkout.
You always need the humans anyway.
I know, to come and...
Tell me that I'm old.
Beat you in the boots.
Yeah, exactly.
Look at my face and then swipe their card.
I know, because they don't even...
I've moved into that. I haven because they don't even look at it.
I've moved into that.
I haven't been asked for ID for about a year now.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
Because they were doing that.
Once I get a tan, though, I youth up a bit.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, do you prefer self-serve or a human at the checkout?
That's our silly little poll.
The results are soon.
But next on the show, the jobs AI are coming for.
That AI could be doing by the end of next week.
Surely not be...
Surely not making people laugh out loud every morning.
No, no, no.
Surely not.
No, no, no.
Not every morning.
We can already do a couple of days a week.
You can't computer generate this chemistry right here.
No, no, no.
Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. couple of days a week. You can't computer generate this chemistry right here. No, no, no, no, no, no. Someone's written a book about AI, and it might have been AI.
Yeah, how do we know?
We don't.
Because then AI could write the book about AI telling us what they want us to think about AI.
Very smart.
This is how it starts.
Well, and if I was AI, I'd call myself Mark, because that's a human name,
and then I'd give myself a name like Minervic,
because then you're like, oh,
Mark's from somewhere exotic and flash.
Mark Minervic. Mark's
explained his theory of the five
areas of
work that AI will stomp right
into.
Cashiers.
Cashiers? Cashiers?
Cashiers.
We've got the poll coming up about self-serve checkouts.
Self-serve checkouts.
But you'll be able to go through and the cashiers will be able to do it.
And they'll be able to check your ID and stuff.
Was it Amazon or one of those stores in America had a store that had no people
and you just walked in and it worked out what you grabbed?
When you were putting it in the trolley?
Yeah, and then you just scanned it and you had your credit card and you scanned
it, yeah. I've never shoplifted in my whole
life, but that makes me want to do it.
See if you can get away with it. Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Like pop something in my purse.
No, they literally,
every inch of the store
is monitored.
They know what you take. Yeah, but the fear of shoplifting comes from
some person coming up to you and being like
excuse me, I think you've stolen something.
If that's just a computer, I'm like, you don't know me.
You're saying if that's not there.
Yeah.
So Cashier's telemarketers, which will just be the voice version of those bots they've
got on websites, where you are talking to someone and you're like, hold on, this doesn't
quite sit right.
And you keep saying like human.
Yeah. Talk to human. Yes. You're like, no, real human. Yes, you're talking to someone and you're like, this, hold on, this doesn't quite sit right. And you keep saying like, human. Yeah.
Talk to human.
Yes.
No, real human.
Yes, you're talking to Jane.
Even automated,
yeah, when you ring up a company
and it's all,
there's not a human,
you're just like,
just give me a human.
Can we throw a human being?
Ah,
truck drivers.
Really?
Yeah.
It'll just be like
programmable driving.
Automated,
surely not in New Zealand. Like in America or Australia where they have like programmable driving. Automated. Surely not in New Zealand.
Like in America or Australia where they have like road trains
and massive straight roads.
Yeah.
Can you imagine an automated truck going around like the Brinduins
or the...
Oh, my God, the Brinduins.
Brinduins.
Well, they're not even that whiny.
The Rimitakas?
Yeah, the Rimitakas.
Yeah.
The Karangahake Gorge?
You see a truck coming down there and there's no driver, you'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. The Karangahaki Gorge. You see a truck coming down there and there's no driver,
you'd be like, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Actually, Aaron asked that question yesterday.
Why?
We were driving somewhere and he said,
how long do you think it'll be until all cars are completely,
oh, this is because he said,
wouldn't it be cool if the way we got to places was roller coasters?
And they weren't always loop-de-loop,
but sometimes they were just like tracks.
And then when you went up hills, it was like...
Like a train.
Like a train.
And then gravity down the other side.
He is actually describing a train there.
What he's describing is a fast train.
What he's describing there is a train.
Yeah, a carriage where people sit, but it's on a flat track.
And you don't have to drive that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I always liked the idea of sort of a...
No, he's describing a train.
A tube system like on Futurama
where they'd get in and it would just be like,
I would have a tube at the end of my driveway and I would jump in
and it would just like the roading system.
Oh, like those mail systems.
Yeah, the metal tubes.
And then I would join and it's basically under the roads.
Your tube would probably go past my tube.
Well, yeah.
You could swing past my tube.
Well, I wouldn't need to though because your tube would join the tube.
Oh, yeah, I've got my own tube
We'd have a program front on the tube
That would flick the switches to get it right
I think even if you had a pneumatic tube
To work from your house you'd still be late
Oh yeah I'd just take less time to get it
I'd take more time to get into the tube
You'd get the last tube
Bookkeeping and accounting clerks
Yeah definitely
So you just give it the info and it does all the rest
What do you think about even the accounting software now
It's pretty good
Yeah it is good
And radiologists in the medical
Radio
Announcers
Radiologists
What are they
Are they the ones
Arm on the scanner at home, on your printer.
MRI, they do the radiography, right?
So they do x-rays.
Do they also run the big spinny machines?
MRIs?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Is that under the radiologist's umbrella?
So what, you just go in and...
Well, because it is this very specific sort of like programmable thing,
like the person needs to get on and it would say,
get on, lay still, do-do-do, and here we go.
Right.
But radio announcer is not off.
Oh, fuel.
That's good news, isn't it?
Yeah.
Honestly.
Especially for your mortgage, isn't it?
Don't talk about my mortgage!
Imagine if AI could take care of your mortgage.
That'd be pretty good.
What, pay it?
Yeah.
Work out how to pay it.
Yeah.
That's what you should get is a couple of AI bots to do a job
and they pay your mortgage.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Yeah.
That'd be good stuff.
I'd be into that.
Yeah.
But then they'll be like, we want the bigger room.
We would like the master suite.
Yeah, we want the master suite and we will destroy the en suite
as we have no need for showering for we are robots.
Great robot.
Yeah, I like just how they still talk like that.
I think it's important that they remain talking like that
so that we can tell what she's a robot.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
eHarmony, which is a dating website and dating sort of expert place.
It's a big overseas.
A dating expert place.
It's like an app overseas.
Is that what the E stands for?
Yeah, expert harmony.
They always do like a sort of end of the year
or like end of the year wrap up of dating trends
and predictions for 2024.
Like your Spotify wrapped.
Yeah, like a playbook for dating, sex and relationships
they're calling it.
They do massive research, thousands of people,
and they get some stats.
They have sort of melted down the top traits that Gen Z
and millennials look for in a partner when they're dating.
Should I do Gen Z or millennials first?
We're a room of millennials.
There's one Gen Z out there and a young millennial.
Do they differ?
Do they differ?
They do differ a little bit.
Okay.
They differ a little bit.
Okay.
A tiny little bit.
A little bit.
A little bit.
Okay, let's do Gen Z first.
The number one trait they look for, emotional intelligence.
Okay. I don't even know what that looks
like though. Do you know what I mean?
I feel like it takes years to figure out
whether someone's emotionally intelligent or not.
I think I'm
quite emotionally intelligent. Fair idea pretty quickly though, right?
Like you know if they're not.
I want to say, I want a definition.
Definition of emotional
intelligence.
Because that could mean a myriad of things.
The capacity to be aware of, control.
Okay, I don't have that.
You have zero control.
And express good one's emotions.
And to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
See, I think I am aware of and can express my emotions.
I can't control them.
Right.
Sometimes they spiral out of control.
Where would you sit in this, Vaughn?
Emotionally, emotional intelligence.
I like to think I can control them.
Yeah, you're a good controller.
I like to think so.
Different to pushing down.
What?
Pushing down the emotions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Push them right down.
What about you, Fletch? Push them right down. Are you emotionally intelligent? I'm a robot. He doesn't the emotions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Control. What about you, Fred?
Push them right down.
You're emotionally intelligent.
I'm a robot.
He doesn't have emotions.
I don't have emotions.
You don't have any.
The next thing is humour.
I'd say we've all got that.
Humour.
Humour in buckets.
Is that an important thing for them?
For the Gen Zs?
The second most important.
Second most important.
And the third most...
Wait, their humour is second most important?
You can't say bloody anything to these Gen Zs.
I take offence to anything.
I've got some ripper jokes that we used to chuck around in the 90s.
Yeah, but their humour's different.
Their humour's different, Vaughn.
Give me a break.
What about this?
Why does Snoop Dogg have an umbrella?
Yeah, don't...
Full drizzle.
They're not going to like that.
No Gen Z Shannon.
Gen Z's supporting me right now.
Did you like that joke?
Was that humour?
Yeah.
Can I take you on a date, baby?
Oh my God, baby.
Yes, baby.
Can you pay though?
Because I don't have any money and I don't have a house.
Of course I can.
Is number one money?
No, number one is emotional intelligence.
I've done my list one, two, three.
Emotional intelligence.
You've cocked it up.
I'll tell you that much.
Humor.
I'll do it the other way for millennials.
Yeah.
Intelligence.
Just general intelligence.
Right.
Intellect.
Do you agree as a Gen Z, do you agree that's what you'd look for in a date?
Someone who can control their emotions, someone who's funny and someone who's smart.
I think personally, yes, but I'd say some of my girlfriends, no.
Yeah, right.
What do they want?
Like hotties with big schlongs and whatnot?
Yeah, probably.
And like, you know, toxic and probably doesn't understand emotionals.
Manipulative.
Great.
Millennials.
Millennials in third place.
I'll do the list backwards.
Physical attractiveness.
See, we're vain, eh?
Yeah, we liked it.
No, no.
Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, we're just a bit older.
Yeah.
The 90s taught us that looks is everything.
Yeah, and they are.
Yeah.
In the middle then is intelligence.
And then first is, again, emotional intelligence.
We want people that can really express themselves.
But also be hot.
Yeah, but also be hot.
You're ticking a few of these boxes.
We're just going to work on those emotions coming out.
So there you go.
That's what we're looking for.
Next on the show, Silly Little Pole.
Do you want a human at the checkout or do you love using the machine?
You know me, I'm always looking for opportunities to engage with humans.
Yeah.
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, which kind of checkout doff one prefer?
One with the human?
Self-serve or human service?
So a UK supermarket had 28 stores
and they have axed
all the self-serve checkouts from all
but two supermarkets. Wow.
Because they just say people
want a human. Or is that also code
for too many people with shoplifting?
I mean, my thing,
I always go self-checkout if I'm
doing a small run, but
nine times out of ten, you need the person.
There's an item in the bagging area, or there's a mistake,
or there's something I'd rather, or your own bag, or you're buying booze.
They have to ID you.
So you might as well, well, that hasn't happened for a while,
but you might as well just go there in the first place.
Yeah, if it's just a few things, it's so quick to go self-service.
Yeah.
If you want it bagged, if there's a lot and it's not going to fit on that little shelf, you go through the... 100%. I think it's great a few things. It's so quick to go self-service. Yeah. If you want it bagged, if there's a lot
and it's not going to fit
on that little shelf,
you go through the...
100%.
I think it's great to have options.
Yeah.
Poisonly,
but if I'm just popping in,
it's got to be self-serve.
74% of people also think
self-serve is the preferred
checkout kind.
Also, you can buy load now, right?
Like, you can buy all the... You can buy load? Yeah, Like you can buy all the Stuff that was embarrassing
Yeah but you can buy it without the person
Oh yeah gotcha gotcha
Until it goes
Please
You need clearance
Too much lube
Too much lube
Bing bong bing bong
The person comes over
They're like oh I'm sorry
You bought too much lube
There's a 10 bottle limit per person
Yeah
And then they say
Actually these condoms
We need to get you fitted for those.
And then you put your pants down in the middle of it.
They're like, come on, shove it up.
You can only sell extra large if it's been fitted.
You can prove you're extra large
because we've only got limited stock of extra large.
We don't want babies.
And then they fit you for it.
You have to show us your extra large.
26% say human service is their preferred measure.
Interesting. Josh says, self service is their preferred measure. Interesting.
Josh says,
self-serve for sure.
I'll do anything
to avoid human interaction.
Okay.
Hearing that,
sometimes I have a chat.
Sounds like he's buying
10 bottles of lube though.
Yeah, he's having a...
Sounds like he's got
way too much lube.
And those little,
you can buy those little bullets now
in the supermarket.
Like licorice bullets.
I love those.
No.
Don't put those
anywhere near that.
And a CD. Is that
official doctors? Have you been told by a doctor that?
Or is that you just guessing? That's me guessing.
Somebody's been to A&E and had to have a licorice
bullet pushed out.
I just saw the word bullet.
Bloody RJs.
Julia said, I would prefer
human service, but the lines are always much longer
and because I'm younger, I feel like I should leave the space for older people.
Good call, Julia.
I feel like that's more for the older people who are shopping too.
Yeah.
Good call.
Emma says, they literally have 12 self-serve checkouts and four full checkouts,
half of which are usually closed here at my local Woolies in Perth.
They're definitely pushing towards that way.
And the new ones have way less issues,
but you do have to look yourself in a camera
while scanning all the treats you shouldn't be buying.
Oh, yeah.
Look at the camera looking back at you.
No, we was the other day at a supermarket,
and there was a camera.
Is that to discourage?
And the self-serve.
If you can see yourself,
you're less likely to scan pistachios as peas.
Right.
100%.
Right.
Full shop's got to be a human service mini shop
or a basket size shop.
You do the self-serve, says Larissa.
Full shops and self-serve is an abomination.
Yeah, because you can't fit it on the shelf.
Well, you know, that's not what it's there for either.
That's naughty.
Yeah, you've got to be able to fit it on the shelf.
My locals say, Michael, at least you put the half trolley
over the place where you put your basket.
No, what do you mean?
Because you know when you put things in the bagging area and it's like, oh, yep, you've added the milk.
I can feel that there now.
No, you've got that on the left.
On the shelf.
You've still got to put it on the shelf.
Oh, yeah, but what I'm saying is you've still got to fit everything else on that shelf.
Yeah.
You can easily overfill a half trolley.
When it goes green, you can take a bag off.
Did you not know that?
No.
And then it keeps going.
I didn't know that.
So there's a green light somewhere and you're like,
I can take the bag off and add more.
So once you add it and it's like, okay, that's the right weight,
then anything you take off.
I did not know that.
So start by putting a bag on and then put your stuff.
And then when that's full, green light, take it off. I'm going to try that next time. Yeah, you're welcome. I didn't know that. So start by putting a bag on and then put your stuff. And then when that's full, green light, take it off.
I'm going to try that next time.
Yeah, you're welcome.
I don't know this.
There's no science.
Jared's nodding.
I don't know.
Did you have these when you worked at the supermarket?
Or you just know your lights like me?
A bit of both.
Your self-serve.
This was my preferred role when I worked there.
I was running self-serve.
Did you like being that person?
Yeah, because I didn't have to talk to people.
Less involved. Scan the barcode. Right. Would you like being that person? Yeah, because I didn't have to talk to people. Less involved.
Scan the barcode.
Right.
Would you ID Hayley if she was buying booze?
Oh, yeah.
She's only 22, so.
She looks like the sort of old bird that would make your day.
Yeah.
As soon as they walk in your queue, you're like, oh, yeah.
Let me dig it out.
Who would have had this out for a little bit, have I?
You say Miss.
Hey, Miss.
Oh, they love that.
Sorry, Miss,
I'm going to need
to see some ID.
You look about 17.
Yeah.
Pro tip.
You've made her day,
haven't you?
Yeah.
You've got your gold card.
Jared,
not our Jared,
another Jared,
said,
I hate talking to anybody,
so it's self-serve
for me every time.
Could be our Jared, though.
Could be.
Marie said,
human when it's
the big grocery shop
so they can pack your bags for you.
Yeah. Unless it's pack and save.
They refuse. Well that's why
it's cheaper isn't it? Yeah. It's in the
literal name. Yep.
It's literally the name.
Pack and you will save.
Diane said it keeps people employed and you can
get some great chats out of them. Oh my gosh.
She's like a punish.
She's like a punish to have in the line.
I worked as a checkout girl in my teens.
I can beat my own shit better than them now.
Hashtag expert packer.
Do you reckon she still knows her PLU codes?
Probably.
For a Braeburn.
Braeburn, go.
PLU4386.
Do you know your PLU codes still, Jared?
No.
Or did you just have the, when you're a checkout check, do you have the...
Oranges. 4386 is oranges.
Do you have the picture or did you have to punch in the number?
When I started, it was the numbers, so I learnt that way.
And then we switched to the digital touchscreen.
Okay, plums, go.
4160? Nah, it's not that.
Whoa!
Okay, what about a Royal Gala apple?
Wait, wait, I'm looking up 4160s. A Pippin apple. A Pippin apple. Okay, what about a Royal Gala apple? Wait, wait, I'm looking up 416.
So it's a Pippin apple.
A Pippin apple.
Okay, what's a Royal Gala?
That's a classic Kiwi apple.
PLU, go.
Would that be 4600?
4600.
That is an eggplant.
A white baby aubergine.
Oh, Jerry.
A white aubergine as well.
I've never seen an albino aubergine.
Do they taste the same? Normally purple or, you know. I've never seen one in the wild. I've only seen an albino aubergine. Do they taste the same?
Normally purple.
I've never seen one in the wild.
I've only seen them online.
God, the apples dominate the PLU code.
Did you find Royal Garland?
No, I just went on 3002 and it was a canter red apple.
3098.
What about carrots?
Carrots, Jared.
You must know the carrots.
I'm just thinking about your popular PLU items.
Nah, honestly, I'm drawing a blanket.
It's so embarrassing.
Yeah, it is embarrassing.
We're asking you to remember tens of thousands.
4103 is Braeburn.
Oh, of course it is.
3065 is Demio.
92 more rows.
They've all got a sticker on them now.
Yeah.
And you've got the pictures, so you don't need... What about the ambrosia apple?
That is a great apple.
Ambrosia.
Ambrosia's a three, four, three, eight.
No one's eating Granny Smith apples.
They don't even need a plough.
They'll definitely have one, though.
A plough.
They don't need a plough.
They're good for a bake.
Good for a cider.
A 4-0-1-7.
Yeah.
A large Granny Smith.
That's what I thought it was.
Well.
There's your plues, guys.
That's still a little pole.
Now, I believe this is unofficial, this app.
It doesn't come from the Taylor Swift team directly.
But there is a new app available called Swift Alert,
which basically gives you alerts and, like, in-the-moment updates
on Taylor Swift and her Errors Tour.
So even, like, she's on the stage now, she's doing this now,
like, if you're not there, Gives you links to live streams.
Little updates
on where she's at in the concert.
Where she's going next. This, that and the other
thing. She's going to have this shit shut down.
Why didn't she do this herself?
She's making some money. She should have done this herself.
Because people just do this on
various threads online.
It is weird that she
like she's just making all this money,
but it's just touring and music, right, and the movie,
and obviously, like, merch.
But there's no, she hasn't, she's done a fragrance.
She's done a fragrance, eh?
Yeah.
How much money do you want her to have?
She's a billionaire.
No, but I'm just saying, like, she's done, yeah, she's a billionaire,
but not like the way, say, Kanye or Rihanna or Jay-Z.
They went out and they made, you know, huge fashion lines.
Yeah, Taylor Swift has a ton of fragrances.
Right.
Wonderstruck, Taylor by Taylor Swift.
But she could literally make clothes.
Incredible things by Taylor Swift.
She could make clothes and do anything and people would buy them.
Hell yeah.
So on this thing, you can get live stream links.
You can get links to her merchandise, ticketing, quizzes, trivia, games,
updates on albums when an album drops and that kind of stuff.
And you get a little like ding.
I was at drinks on, well, Friday,
and that's when the Melbourne Taylor Swift tickets went on
and everybody had to surrender their phone
to these Swifties in the group.
Oh, really?
Who went online to get tickets.
And got them, eh?
Some friends got some.
Yeah, some to the Sydney one earlier in the day.
Yeah.
But it was just insane.
There was like 10 phones and a couple of laptops
all just refreshing, waiting for tickets.
And still people missed out.
That's insane.
Well, people, I'm reading reviews online
on Reddit threads and whatnot on this app,
this Taylor Swift Alert app.
And they're really good.
This app is so freaking cool.
I love it.
Great features.
Oh, two days ago, the app's now changed to premium paid.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
There it is.
She'll get that shut down if someone's making money off her that's not her.
Yeah.
Don't even download it today.
It'll be shut down.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Harry Styles is at Hiccup and people are like, oh, no.
Oh, my God, no.
No, Harry.
He shaved his hair off.
You're a monster now.
Yuck, you're ugly.
You're a freak.
You ugly, bald freak.
They screamed at him as people who genetically are bald,
not by choice, were like, oh, man.
Oh, man.
But it could be worse.
I've got the top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got.
Okay, there's some bad haircuts out there.
What terrible haircuts.
What are you looking at?
I'm just loading the videos.
The TMZ put up, he was at a U2 concert.
He's got to go to the Sphere.
Oh, I wouldn't go to the Sphere.
I reckon I could even stomach a U2 concert.
Oh, to be in the Sphere, I could.
100%.
What do we think?
It does, he does look weird with short hair, doesn't he?
He looks like a right proper geezer.
He looks like a, yeah, like a pom.
I like it.
Who's this that he's got his arm on?
Yeah, who the hell is that?
Who's this?
Another hot chick.
He can get anyone he wants, can't he?
He can just get anyone.
Top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got.
Number six on the list.
The one that he had.
It was a bloody shambles.
And producer Shannon has just said apparently people have been speculating
he's been wearing a wig for a little while
and he's finally taken the wig off.
No.
Why are they saying that?
So basically during his concerts,
he, you know, real gets into it
and sometimes in videos when he flops his head forward,
it kind of looks a bit toupee-y
where a lot flops forward a bit more than it should.
And so people have been speculating, I'd say,
for a year or two that he's actually wearing a wig.
And now everyone's like, he just got sick of the itch.
Like, he just wanted to take it off.
It's a slippery slope when you start with conspiracies
at the level of Harry Styles' wig,
and next thing you know, you're camping out on the government's front porch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm deep into it.
Slippery slope.
Slippery slope. Slappery slow.
Number five on the list of the top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got.
Those mullets that kids have.
Every kid's got a mullet.
Every boy kid's got a mullet.
They yuck.
We're just going to look back and be like, whoopsie doopsie.
As someone that had a rat's tail in intermediate school photos.
Yeah, of course.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
I feel like it will, when we look back in 20 years
and see that most of those kids ended up in prison or some sort of record,
we'll all be like, oh, interesting.
That's why.
I'm not saying causation is correlation, but, I mean, it's an undeniable link.
Number four on the list of the top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got.
A 1990s flat top.
That's right.
Flat top.
A flat top.
Like an early Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith, Jazzy Jeff.
Flat top.
Looks worse on Pakiha for sure.
Oh, significantly worse.
That's not your haircut.
Yeah, that is not your look.
It's just in a natural way.
One's thin hair should sit.
Number three on the list of the top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got, cornrows or dreadlocks.
Yeah.
Yes.
Again, not your haircut.
Not that time.
Not the time for it.
Number two on the list of the top six worst haircuts.
Has he had cornrows before?
I feel like he has.
You Google Harry Styles cornrows.
No way. If he went to
Fiji though, you know, like it keeps it out of your face
get a couple of beads in the back.
Yeah, here you go.
When did he have those? It feels like they're just
braided kind of. No, they're
French plaits. They're slightly different
to cornrows. Right. Thicker.
But still not a
great look. Not my favourite look.
Harry Styles with braids.
There's a Pinterest board.
Yep.
There's a Pinterest if you want to follow along.
Add it to your home renovations Pinterest boards.
Yeah, I'll just add someone.
Number two on the list of the top six worst Harry Styles could have got.
He could have got the Karen.
Sort of a short cropped on back, longer fringe on half the face swept across there.
Some red and blonde streaks.
Yeah.
Kind of your highlights.
You know, your regional real estate agent look.
Yeah.
It's a classic.
Big, big.
It's a big look.
And number one on the list of the top six worst haircuts, hairstyles Harry Cutts could have got.
Jesus.
Say that again, Han.
The top six worst Harry Cutts the hairstyles could have got.
The top six worst haircuts Harry Styles could have got.
The early 2000s Toffee Pop Carlos Spencer faux hawk.
Oh, yes.
A faux hawk.
Yeah.
Faux hawk.
A little short number, but just Dax whacks up in the middle there.
Has he also had a faux hawk?
No.
He's too young.
Have some respect.
He's had long hair for a long time.
You stopped dragging him through the mud.
He kind of had that one there, whereas here was kind of...
No, that's a quiff at the front.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Too long to be a faux hawk because it was neatly trimmed around the sides
and just a little bit longer on top and squeezed up in the middle there.
That's today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley. I was doing this yesterday
during the show and Fletch was like, how often
do you do that and have you won lotto?
And I said, no. This is just something
Sade and I do. Well, you know, someone
would say that if he... I know.
Do you know what I mean? Because someone at the weekend won
$8 million. One person.
And then you're sending all these properties
that you... Interesting. Yeah. All these properties that are far out of your reach. That wasn't me. And then you're sending all these properties. Interesting. Yeah.
All these properties that are far out of your reach.

If we're going out for eggs after the show,
I'm not paying.
Well, not if you've won a lotto. Well, I'm not paying either.
It's going to be weird at the checkout.
Someone won a lotto?
We assume this has been picked up at the business.
One of us is rich. us Also cute that you call
The place where you pay
At the restaurant a check out

It's not a check out though
It doesn't even convey about
It's a check out Okay Well neither does a checkout, though. It doesn't even convey about.
Okay.
Well, neither does a self-serve checkout.
It doesn't even convey about.
So I don't know what exactly constitutes.
My toes are fighting.
You know what?
When we have breakfast after the show,
I'm going to ask the lady,
what do you call this?
How do you call this?
You know what?
I reckon she's going to say the counter.
I reckon she's not going to know.
I reckon she's going to go. Pay at the counter.
It's the counter.
It's the till.
I'm paying at the counter. But it's more of going to know. I reckon she's going to go. Pay at the counter. I'm going to pay at the counter. It's the counter. I'll pay at the counter.
But it's more of a table.
Anyway.
Yeah, anyway.
I like to pay at the table.
See, you and your wife.
Shada and I send each other
real estate listings
of houses we find
unusual or cool.
Yeah.
Constantly.
Yeah, love that.
What do you reckon of this one?
I sent you one yesterday.
There's a house for sale.
Someone buy it in Motowai.
There's a house for sale

So you keep your hands off of Sproul. You've already got your own old villa to take care of. I buy it in Motowai. There's a house for sale and it's an old villa. So you keep your hands
off of Sproul.
You've already got
your own old villa
to take care of.
I'm pretty sure I saw this.
But it's got a swim...
The swimming pool
is a 25 metre swimming pool
with a retractable roof.
Like a dome roof
that goes over it.
And I think they use it
in Motowai for swim lessons.
Oh, okay.
There were no swim lessons
when I bought the property.
It'll be purely just a board swimming pool. Wait, so you did win Lotto? I did win Lotto, yes. Oh, okay. There will be no swim lessons when I buy the property. It'll be purely just a-
Wait, so you did win Lotto?
I did win Lotto, yes.
Oh my God,
you're buying eggs for us
and also paying our mortgages.
But it's got like a,
it's a really unusual property.
It's got like a lodge,
so a second accommodation
and it's got like a horse train,
a horse equestrian ring
and then like land and bush and stuff
and I really want to have
some land with a bush.
Oh my God.
It is unreal.
Yeah, it's a really like eclectic sort of a property.
What's with that?
Okay.
It's not my dream property,
but it's a really like the retractable roof on the pool
is what it thought to me.
What else are you and your wife sending?
You said that you find unusual.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can see the old foundations of a chimney.
Used to be a house there.
You guys need better chat on the roadies, seriously.
And that was our job.
And when I said in a real estate listing, I sent it to Shadow about,
you used to be a house there.
And she was like, oh, okay.
And then she'll send me a property bill.
What do you think of this one?
And I was just like, oh, my God, that's insane.
I'm loving this house.
It's a beautiful villa.
Do you not like most couples to send memes?
Oh, we do?
We send them?
Oh, yeah, good.
We send a few memes now.
I don't have the heart to tell her she's sending me memes I've already seen.
Oh.
I don't send Aaron memes because he doesn't use his phone.
But if he texts me to say, like, I love you, I miss you,
I just always send him an under chin photo of, like,
the ugliest view of my face.
And I always say, it's because you're a lucky boy.
Yeah.
So I send him, like, and then I go, it's because you're a lucky boy.

Shay what are you and your partner
constantly send each other?
We sit on the couch,
like opposite ends of the couch,
and we send GIFs making fun of his dad,
who's also in the room.
Oh, my God.
You children.
Aw.
Aw, Dad.
He's one of the children, yeah.
Why don't you just move out
and give Dad a break?
Because Dad lives with us.
Oh.
You're allowed to make fun of him then.
You're allowed as a man that will one day soon have his father-in-law living with him.
You are absolutely allowed to make fun of him.
What's your favorite kind of meme?
Like just one you find from movies like that fit perfectly the situation
because I'm imagining
in person dad saying something or reacting
to something and rather than you know
laying into him out loud you silently
destroy him in meme form
in gif form
gotcha
I'm here for that that's funny
I'm here for that as well actually
Shay thank you
it is really great to send someone a gif of eye roll yeah when you can't like out loud say you can't really
you're both hearing this driving them crazy some messages in uh rob he's really poking the beer he
said i see my partner emma just all the time why i don't know if she sends me messages
that would be annoying if you were just asking what you were going to do for dinner.
Shh.
Shut up.
My partner has a thing for a very specific part of my body.
He's literally obsessed with it.
So I normally just send him a pic of it every once in a while to take him by surprise.
And he always responds.
Wow.
A what?
A very specific part of the body.
Yeah, but which one?
Oh, wow.
Interesting. Interesting.
Interesting.
You said a picture of it.
Yeah, how do you do that?
Maybe a selfie stick would get back there.
You'd need the flash on.
Oh, but do you want to illuminate that?
Oh, it looks very white.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Yeah, reflective.
I really bring out the hairs.
Brent says, I send my partner reels of a dog chiropractor.
Oh, my God god I love them
they like pick them up
under their arms and then the dog's like
they're like breathe in
crack
do they crack them?
I know it's a lot
just someone said fart videos
basically any video with a fart and it's guaranteed to get a forward on to somebody it's a lot. Just someone said fart videos. Basically any video with a fart in it is guaranteed to get a forward on to somebody.
It's a love language.
It is farts.
I'll find silly videos that are passive aggressive about something that we are disagreeing about at the time
and send them on as I hope they get the point.
A little shite.
Constant back and forth.
It literally starts with to add to your to-do list and then send them some things to add
to their to-do list and then they'll send them back some
other things they need to do. That's sexy stuff.
Yep. That's really sexy stuff.
That's hot.
Somebody said, I just looked back in my conversation
with my partner. All we've really
discussed online for the last month would
be who's quicker at solving
online puzzles, daily quiz results
and hard word?
We're competitive, so bragging rights for the moment in time.
Yeah, Shannon, you're a bit of a wordle sharer.
Like I got, if you get wordle quick, do you rub it in?
Oh, absolutely.
As a boyfriend, yeah.
Yeah, it'll be like wordle, connections, the mini crossword.
It's like a spam every morning of, here's how well I did,
except today I lost everything, so I'm not sending my score. So nothing.
So nothing, yeah.
So he knows if you don't message
that you've had a real shitter of a day.
Well, Vaughan and I send each other
our connection scores every day.
It's a nice little...
Connections is a great game
on the New York Times.
Literally, like, three metres away.
We do it on the weekends, too.
Oh, wow.
We stay in touch.
And New York Times mini crossword.
Yeah, we go hard on that.
Yeah, today Shannon thought she got me
Because it was a minute four
I was like I got 56 seconds
But I'm still proud of my minute four
Wait when Hayley and I are working on the show
And getting the show ready
Now when you say working on the show
In one minute I did the New York Times crossword
You take longer to peel the pith off your mandarin
And I reckon Hayley's been online shopping this morning
Have you been online shopping?
Online shopping for fabrics.
Ask Wispy.
Ask Wispy.
I can tell.
Yeah, I can tell.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
November is Movember time.
You're putting in a poor effort, actually, Fletch.
Poor effort.
A poor effort, yeah. A stubbly shadow here. I actually, Fletch. Poor effort. Poor effort, yeah.
This stubbly shadow here.
I mean, it's neither here nor there.
I mean, Vaughan, you're going well.
No one's even commented on mine,
and I've been trying extra hard this November.
Yeah.
But as part of QT's Movember Drive,
they have brought celebrity tattoo artist Lauren Windsor over from Australia,
and she's in studio with us.
Good morning, Lauren.
Morning.
I just shaved mine off too.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Aaron was,
my fiance was going
through our bathroom boxes
and we were moving
out of our house this week
and he was like,
what the hell is this?
And his hand was like bleeding
and it was one of those
little like face razors
you use.
Oh yeah, I know.
He was like,
what's this for?
And I was like,
shaving my mustache.
He was like,
face razor?
Well, when you get lazy you gotta've got to shave it off first.
And so instead of using a full man razor, you use these little blades.
A little gentle.
Yeah, like a little kind of.
So yeah, if you're walking and someone's shaving their mustache.
Yeah, that's what they're doing.
Anyway, so as part of this, you're going to QT hotels around New Zealand.
You've been in Wellington.
You're in Auckland the last couple of days.
Yep.
And then we're going to Queenstown on Thursday
and the event will be on Saturday.
So that'll be the last one, yeah.
And they're transforming their awesome bars
into a pop-up tattoo parlor.
They can get a tattoo from you.
And you got one yesterday.
And I got one yesterday.
I was so lucky because I know that people have just been
queuing up to get tattooed by you.
Which is great because there's always that nervous
feeling of like, oh God, I hope that people
rock up because they've, you know, flown me
out and everything and I want to raise money.
But it was like the ballot box
for filling the spots was like
overflowing. So I was really,
really stoked on that. Yeah, it's such a good,
it's been such a good turnout so far and really
a lot of support. So it's been awesome. Oh, it's awesome that you're doing that. Yeah, it's been such a good turnout so far and really a lot of support, so it's been awesome.
Oh, it's awesome that you're doing that.
Thanks, New Zealand.
Yeah, right.
And then I was able to squeeze in with you yesterday
and you were kind enough to give me a tattoo
of my childhood soft toy, Kwali.
Yeah.
Which is just the cutest thing
and it was so much fun getting it from you.
It didn't hurt.
It really didn't hurt.
She's got a gentle hand.
Got the feminine touch, you know.
Yeah, right.
Because these boys have no tattoos.
Yeah, we're tattoo virgins.
Couple of virgins.
Yeah.
I'm used to it, yeah.
Yeah, you like taking virginities though,
so if you need to come and get a tattoo, let me know.
Just in general?
Who's the oldest person you've tattooed?
It was a 93-year-old.
And that was only a couple of months ago, actually,
with her two daughters.
But before that that it was an
83 year old so I tattooed her granddaughter
for a long long time but she was actually
a holocaust survivor
so obviously the connotation with tattoos is
awful. Yeah.
Branded with the number right? Yeah.
And even when her granddaughter was getting tattooed off me
for all these years she's like you know I hide it
from my grandma and because of this
and that and I was like oh I would do the same thing yeah um and then she I got an email one day and she's
like uh my grandma loved these they're all like cutesy little tattoos love these tattoos and she
really wants to get one I was like no way like I was so happy to be a part of like a healing yeah
yeah like changing the way that she felt about them
and obviously
her granddaughter
being so lovely
was a big part of that
but she had a birthday card
that had two little owls
on it
so they got matching owls
and she got it on her back
there's all these big
puffed up dudes
in the shop
carrying on like
pork chops
in the air
like the bicycle legs
and like
scrubbing around
and I was like
how are you feeling
she's like
it's nothing
and I was like
okay sweet like yeah make them like they used to she was gangster yeah and I was like, how are you feeling? She's like, it's nothing. And I was like, okay, sweet.
They don't make them like they used to.
She was gangster, yeah.
Also, because people are so excited to get tattooed by you
because you've tattooed some pretty amazing people,
myself included.
I was just about to say, one of the biggest ones yesterday.
I was very nervous.
I was beside herself when I walked on the road.
Miley Cyrus is a big fan of yours.
You've tattooed her a couple of times?
Yeah, I've tattooed her a bunch.
I couldn't even count them now.
I've been fortunate enough when I first tattooed her
when she came to Australia,
we got along really well
to the point where her management was like,
she's saying she misses you.
She wants to see you again.
Will you come to Perth for the last show?
So they flew me over as a surprise.
We ended up kicking it. She thought I didn't like her because I wouldn't ask her for photos. But I was like, I don't know. to see you again, will you come to Perth for the last show? So they flew me over as a surprise. Oh, my gosh.
We ended up kicking it.
She thought I didn't like her because I wouldn't ask her for photos.
But I was like, I don't know.
I'd never met a celebrity before.
I just didn't want to, like, be a weirdo.
You played it too cool.
Yeah, I played it way too cool.
You made Miley want you.
Yeah.
She kept saying, you're my surprise.
And I was like, oh, my God.
This is making me really nervous.
Like, what do I do?
Also, at the end of Game of Thrones, a lot of the Starks, right,
they got tattoos, including Sophie Turner.
Yes.
What was it, the dire wolf?
The wolf, yeah.
The pecks survives, yeah.
I think she was a bit traumatised because there was a group tattoo she was saying to me.
So I didn't know who she was before I tattooed her, which is a lot like half of the celebrities.
She's outcalling everyone, isn't she?
No, it's because I'm so lame.
I still listen to like really old music and I watch everything on repeat, you know.
So obviously Miley I knew and I was really excited about.
But I was tattooing Joe Jonas he was
hassling me for like a month when I was overseas and I was like I'm not gonna make it back in time
anyways I get back first day I land he's like oh I want to get these tattoos and my girlfriend
wants to get tattooed and so it turns out it was Sophie Turner I'd never seen Game of Thrones
and I did this dire wolf tattoo with the packs of eyes but yeah she was saying oh I
we were supposed to get group tattoos
like another group of friends or whatever
and then she got hers
first and then they all pulled out and she's like well I didn't
want to get the other one and so
then she got that one off of me. So I
love that you did this tattoo
the pack survived which obviously
if you've seen Game of Thrones is a huge
spoiler. It's like the biggest deal.
I had so much abuse being like,
you've ruined the end of Game of Thrones.
And I was like, well, I don't know actually if I did
or didn't.
Kind of. You kind of did. Well, the first
article that came out afterwards, Lauren
Windsor ruined the ending of Game of Thrones.
I was like, yeah, I did because I watched the whole thing.
Yeah. After that, obviously.
The pack famously did not survive.
The father loses his head in the first episode.
Robb Stark and his mother are murdered at the Red Wedding.
That's half the pack gone.
Yeah.
One of them falls out of a tower and is paralysed
and then talks to birds.
I don't think you've ever been a spoiler at all.
Thank you.
At all.
Thank you.
Also, you've tattooed Post Malone, right?
Another one I didn't know.
I asked him if he'd been to Australia before.
I wasn't going to do it because I was feeling really sick
and I had to go when Miley and Liam went together.
It was his birthday the next day so I was driving to Byron
and I was saying to all the boys, should I do it?
I'm like dead sick, I need a rest. And they're like, boys, should I do it? I'm like dead sick.
I need a rest.
And they're like, yeah, you should do it.
It's post-mole.
And so he got in.
Did you do his face?
I tattooed the playboy on his face.
That's iconic.
That I did.
I love heart and it's Beauty and the Beast dancing.
It was meant to be him and his girlfriend at the time.
And he told me that the Beast was his girlfriend.
I know. She was there too.
I was like, okay.
Yeah, like girlfriend at the time
is now fully self-explained as to why it was at the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unreal.
You've got such a huge list of people that you've tattooed
and your tattoos, like what I love about it
is you can't define it.
Sometimes you look at an artist
and it's like they do one style, one thing.
You go on your Instagram
and I mean, not only do you see some amazing photos of Lauren,
that's for the viewer to see.
Yeah.
But your tattoos, you've got like Simpsons tattoos
and you've got like little like doodles
and you've got like full portraits.
You can kind of do it all.
Oh, thank you so much.
It's one of the things that when I was doing my apprenticeship,
I was told a good tattooer can do a good
job at everything so you can say yes to everything and know that you can be capable of it but pop
culture stuff obviously is right up my alley yeah the fine line stuff just came because no one else
had the balls to do it so I was like well I'll give it a go and then it turned out well and then
just kept going and I guess the more you something, there's just not much room to move when you do fine stuff.
So a lot of people are quite scared of the risk of doing a little bump.
Well, I absolutely love my little Kweli.
Me too.
We've got a photo up on our Instagram as well.
You can check that out.
Me and Lauren and my new Kweli tattoo.
And if you're lucky enough to try to squeeze down to Queenstown
this Thursday to get tattooed, bye, Lauren.
I'll be tattooing on Saturday.
Oh, Saturday, sorry.
Down on Thursday.
They're on Saturday.
How much time do people have with you to get a tattoo there?
I'm imagining it must be quite limited time.
Well, they're giving 45-minute slots, but just like in Wellington,
like some of them I can do in 10 minutes.
Like I'm pretty fast.
It just depends on the person.
Because it's a flesh tattoo, right? So you've got your choice. That's quack-tastic from Billy Madison. I wish I in 10 minutes. I'm pretty fast. It just depends on the person. How long did it take you to do this? That's quack-tastic from Billy Madison.
I wish I did that one. I did the love heart one. I just had to include it because I
love Billy Madison so much. The Simpsons
ones are amazing, but then I got to, that's quack-tastic. You should see it. So that's on
a singer called Teddy Swim. Oh, I know Teddy Swim. Yes, he's lovely.
Did you know him before he came in?
We knew of each other because he covers my favourite Shania Twain song.
And I actually...
She's got quite copped music taste as well.
I do.
You're put as a Shania girl, to be honest.
Shania, Steely Dan, Frank Sinatra, like everything, anything.
Well, 100% of the tattoo proceeds are going to Movember,
which is a great cause. Amazing.
And if you're lucky enough, have fun with Lauren. I had
a lot of fun with you. Thank you so much.
No, thank you guys so much and yeah
it's such a good cause and really important so
I'm happy to, yeah, let's spread the word
and fit as many people in as possible.
Let's let you go back to sleep so that you don't do some
crazy doodles on people permanently.
I'm going to go for a swim actually.
I know. Thank you so much Lauren. Thanks'm going to go for a swim actually. Oh good. I know.
Thank you so much Lauren.
Thanks for joining us.
Thanks for having me.
This news came out yesterday.
Hellas.
These Siwasek people.'s, these Suasage people.
And bacon people.
And bacon people.
Processed meats folk.
Yeah.
Have announced a collab with a couple of Kiwi Icon chips.
Bluebird Heller's collab.
So how does this work? Do they muley up?
So the flavours are.
Do they muley up?
You've lost me already.
Now is there some big grinding machine? How does this work? Do they muley up? So the flavours are... Do they muley up? You've lost me already. Do they...
Is there some big grinding machine?
Do they blend up rations?
And do they blend up burger rings?
And then they put them in a sausage?
And they pump them into a sausage?
So they said they were trying out some potential new flavours.
And then they were eating one of the sausages.
And they're like, what does it taste like?
And then someone was like, it tastes like rations.
By the way, top five chip for me.
A ration.
A ration's cheese and bacon.
Cheese and bacon.
And they said yes, and then the idea was born being like,
well, why don't we actually make a collab
that is a rations tasting sausage.
And a burger ring is like, is that a yeasty kind of a taste?
You know, like a marmite-y.
No, not like, you know, like a yeast spread.
No, you open a bag of burger rings and have a sniff.
No.
It'll ruin burger rings for you.
No, but it's kind of that marmite-y, vegemite-y.
Umami.
Like, that would go awesome with the meat.
What is the official flavour of burger rings?
Like, burger, right? Burger rings. Like, burger. Meat. It's not, because the official flavour of Burger Rings? Like burger, right?
Burger.
Burger.
Meat.
It's not.
Because the official flavour of burger is pickle now.
Because burger sauce, the strongest flavour is pickle.
So no actual rations or Burger Ring chips go into the sausages,
but they use the same taste and flavour profiles,
same spices and seasonings.
They've gone back and forth with Bluebird to get them right
and have them sign off
on the flavours.
I'm excited for this.
Burger Rings officially
are a delicious blend
of tomato, cheese
and barbecue.
Tomato, that's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tomato, cheese and barbecue.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
But still the sniff.
The first sniff
on an opening bag of Burger Rings.
Oh, it's unique.
Please, it's unique.
It's not unique
because it smells
exactly like something else.
Burgers. Burgers, exactly. It smells like burgers. It's not unique because it smells exactly like something else. Burgers.
Burgers, exactly.
It smells like burgers.
Yes, burgers.
Next on the show.
Wait a minute, is that all?
Yeah, that's it.
We don't want to talk
anymore about this.
Nah.
Well, what did you have to add?
You're not adding anything
constructive to the conversation.
I just felt like
it went really quick.
How long have we been talking?
This time around?
Who cares?
What day is it?
We're very... We're excited about sausages.
Yeah.
And burger rings smell
like something that they aren't.
And next on the show,
we'll tell you why
I was in a police car
at three o'clock
in the morning.
Okay, I'm looking forward
to this story.
Looking forward to this story
because he has not told me why.
We play ZM's Fletch,
Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
It's four minutes away
from eight.
Where were you at 3am?
Here we go.
I have been up since 3am.
You can tell to zero.
Grumpy prick.
These two have been fighting like cats and dogs all morning.
I threw a chair.
No, we've been like playful fighting.
They told me yesterday it was pronounced U-K-N-O-U-B-A.
We did not.
And it was pronounced U-K-N-O-U-B-A.
We know that. So now Vaughan has to re-voice an ad. But I remember saying it was U-K-N-O-can-oo-ba. We did not. And it was pronounced U-can-oo-ba. We know that.
So now Vaughan has to re-voice an ad,
but I remember saying it was U-can-oo-ba.
Which is fine, I'll do anything for the client.
I'll do anything for the client.
I remember saying it was U-can-oo-ba.
I wasn't even here for this.
Yes, but I said U-can-oo-ba.
Was it on a podcast?
We spoke on it a few weeks back.
The building opposite my apartment building got tagged.
Yes.
And massive tags because there's scaffolding up
because I think they're getting the building repainted
or repairs or whatever.
And I called the police because there were some people up there.
Because you're a narc.
On the scaffolding because I'm a big, fat narc.
You are a big, fat narc and you're going to get some stitches.
And they got them, but I think they were just drunk.
I don't think they were tagging.
I think they were just drunk and on their way home,
they were like, let's climb up the scaffolding.
That was like, what, three or four weeks ago.
Well, this morning, banging outside my window.
At what time?
Two-ish.
And then I heard yelling.
And so I opened up the window.
Usually the banging's happening on the inside.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, this guy.
Dog can't stop.
Road dog.
So I open.
Vaughan. He's a road dog.
Let's keep on track here.
I open up the curtains and then I see this guy with a backpack
and I see him putting a spray can in his pocket.
Is it a Spider-Man?
It's a Spider-Man scaling the building.
No, it's a graffiti artiste.
Oh, my gosh.
I believe it's a tagger.
And so people's lights start coming on in the apartment building
where this guy is. And then I hear someone yelling out. And I'm's lights start coming on in the apartment building where the sky is.
And then I hear someone yelling out.
And I'm like, oh, my God, they're back, the taggers.
Roll gold.
So what do you do, you little snitch?
Well, so I'm like.
Come on, snitch.
I'm like, last time I called the cops and I'm like, well, there are so many apartment lights going on.
There's people yelling.
I'm like, they've already got, they're already calling the police.
Someone's called the police.
I don't have to do this.
But then I'm like, I see him climbing down and I'm like, oh, he's getting away.
So I'm like, chuck my t-shirt on.
Chuck my shorts on.
So this is arrest.
Put the dick away.
Get the...
He does, he sleeps nude.
I sleep nude.
So instantly I'm like, quick.
The real road dog would have chased him naked.
Yeah, exactly.
Get on the street. The real road dog would have just been like,
you're in trouble now, boy, out the window.
So I go down, and then I see him, he's climbing on the other side,
so I'm like, oh, now I'm going to have to go around,
and I'm only in my Birkenstocks.
I should have put shoes on, but he was getting away.
Big road dog.
Time was of the essence.
So I walk around, and then I see this guy walk across the road, and I'm like on, but he was getting away. Big road dog. So I walk around, and then I see this guy
walk across the road, and I'm like, shit,
he's getting away. And then I see the police
car coming down the road. No sirens,
or lights,
because they obviously don't want to scare him away.
And then I'm kind of like waving at the police car,
I'm like, he's over here! Oh my god, you
knock, yeah. And then he drove, the police
car drove up the road, and I'm like, oh, you've gone the wrong way,
he's getting away. So I ran up and I'm like, he's
down here. And the cop
wound down his window. He's like, quick,
get in. Whoa!
You just got dead, you know!
Did he get your gun? I'm like, oh my
God, I'm a police officer now. Did you yell?
Give me a gun! I'm not giving a gun, it's
Rude Dog! Bang, bang, bang, bang.
So I strap in the seatbelt and he slowly
does a Five point turn
Oh he should have just been like
Round the thing
Still no lights or sirens
At this stage
Oh my god
Get the sirens on
I'm like should we put the lights on
Should we put the siren on
And then we drove around
And then
He's slow
He's driving real slow
Like real slow
Trying to look out for this guy
I'm like he's up there
And then we drive up there
And he's not there The guy's not there And I'm like We he's up there. And then we drive up there and he's not there.
The guy is not there.
And I'm like, we need to drive further.
But then he does a U-turn.
And he's like, I've got to go to another call now.
Do you mind getting out here?
Oh, my God.
And you're like, no, you just deputised me.
I am the road dog.
He's getting away.
We need to put the sirens and the lights on.
He's like, yeah, well, look, I'm sorry.
I think he's gone.
I've got another call.
We're going to have to go. Do you mind walking a block? He's like, yeah, well, look, I'm sorry. I think he's gone. I've got another call. We're going to have to go.
Do you mind walking a block?
I'm like, I guess so.
Okay.
Am I still a police officer?
This is why we've got to start
taking vigilante justice.
Yeah, this is why I'm thinking
I might get a paintball gun
because I could have got the guy,
I reckon.
Are you allowed a paintball gun?
Absolutely.
You're allowed to just fire
at a graffiti tagger?
But now you're the graffiti tagger.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you're tagging a human
and you've got to yell something like,
now you've been tagged
by the road dog.
By the road dog.
Well, anyway,
that's why I've been up
since three o'clock in the morning.
One question before we go.
Was the cop hot?
Was the cop hot?
Did he have tight sleeves?
No, he was like an older,
like, you know,
like when one of those
old sergeants goes on the road?
What was he doing? The old road dog? Old road dog. He's an old road dog. I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, it wasn, like, you know, like when one of those old sergeants goes on the road? What was he doing? The old road dog?
Old road dog? He's an old road dog.
I don't know, I don't know. But yeah, it wasn't like
hot cops. Old road dog and his little
pup.
Hit the road.
Hit the road.
Play Zed-N.
Let's for the nightly.
Play Zed-N.
Read the room, gentlemen. Read the room.
Oh no, famously we will not read the room. I'm requiring you to read the room. Oh, no. Famously, we will not read the room.
I'm requiring you to read the room.
Well, I speak on behalf of men when I say neho.
Neho.
Neho.
There is a female called Camille,
and she has shared on the talk that she went on Facebook Marketplace to...
Well, there was her first mistake.
Yeah, look, this is on her.
To sell her engagement ring.
Oh, because it ended.
It ended.
It was a gorgeous ring
and she put it up for a bit of money.
You know, it's your ring.
You're allowed to do what you want.
And she put it up
and she was bombarded with a myriad of DMs from people who say,
hey, I'm not interested in the ring,
but now I see that you're single,
I would be interested in taking you on a date sometime.
What do you think?
Did she post a photo of her face and the ring
or were people hitting on her just for a minute?
Well, on the Facebook marketplace,
you can go on their profile.
Okay, yeah, right. Another comment. I mean, look, I'm not just for a minute? Or on the Facebook marketplace, you can go on their profile. Okay, yeah, right.
Another comment.
I mean, look, I'm not looking for a ring yet.
I could buy it and give it back to you a few years later
if we go on a date tonight.
Ridiculous.
It's so ballsy.
Who's the balls to do this?
Here's another one.
Hey, Camille, I don't want to buy the ring,
but how about I take you country dancing
and we could talk about what you're going through
from another gentleman.
There are endless messages.
Oh, far out. I just saw the ring.
Good Lord! Is it a goodie?
Far out. Oh my God.
Okay. Wow, that's
huge.
That is huge. Anyway,
she said, POV, your husband
leaves you. It wasn't even engagement, it, POV, your husband leaves you.
It wasn't even engagement, it was your husband.
Your husband leaves you,
so you try and sell your engagement ring
on Facebook Marketplace.
And this is what you get.
So many.
They would put me off.
How many?
Does it say how many she got?
It sounds like they were like...
Well, she had five.
To be honest, I really don't want the ring.
I'd rather just use the ring to remarry you.
There's so many.
Now, I know this can happen a bit, right,
that people sell things and then people start using marketplace
as a dating means or...
Slide into the DMs that way.
Sliding into the DMs that way.
I want to know if something like this has ever happened to you,
when somebody had the audacity to slide into your DMs
at an inappropriate time.
Shannon, this happened to you? Did this happen to you? Yeah, I posted about my dead cat and I had a guy slide in my DMs at an inappropriate time. Shannon, this happened to you? Did this happen
to you? Yeah, I posted about my dead cat
and I had a guy slide in my DMs.
What was your cat's name? Sam.
He was a little trash bag cat
but we loved him and he died and someone
messaged me saying he's so adorable, can I
know the type of him? And I replied, he's dead.
Dead type. Well, she's got a way
with words now, Shannon.
And then he proceeded To say that
I was a beautiful girl
Am I a model
Would I like to go out
My dog died four months ago
I miss her
She's like your dog
And
It sounds like
You may have been
Approached by AI
Yeah
That sounds like
The start of a hot scam
Was it read the room
My cat's dead
Yeah
Did you
Because his dog
Died months ago
Yeah
Were you still like
I'm hot?
Yeah.
Also, am I a model?
Stop it.
Am I a model?
Stop it.
Yeah.
It was like he then started sending me my own pictures back being like, see, you're a model.
It was a whole weird change.
Oh, yeah.
That block, block.
Yeah.
It was a bit full on.
Oh, no.
I let him lurk.
You know, get the engagement.
But I just like the opportunistic nature of people going like you know sharing
people go out like hey going through a really tough time at the moment um you know sorry if
i've been a bit quiet on social media and people messaging being like why tough is it because your
boyfriend left you because i'm happy to fill that gap and you're like stop it yeah um producer
jared was also mentioning you know when you sell clothes on like Trade Me and the best way to show them
is on your body
and then people messaging
on like the Trade Me thing
being like hey
can I have the dimensions
of dead ass
Facebook marketplace
is worse for that
because they can literally
see your profile
and then message you directly
and then message you yeah
this is what I want to know
if somebody's ever slid
into the DMs like this
with the audacity
of using it
for a totally different purpose
than what you were posting for.
Oh, 800DARLS.AM, give us a call.
We'd love to hear from you.
If you've got a story,
if this has ever happened to you,
you can text as well, 9696.
When did someone slide into the DMs
and have the audacity
to be a bit inappropriate with it?
Wanting to know if somebody slid into the DMs
at the worst time.
Maybe you posted about one thing and then they just went,
took the opportunity to, I don't know, be a bit sleazy with it.
Like when your cat dies.
Just as you started talking, one just plopped into the text machine
and it's insane.
Oh, my God.
Is it the bikinis one?
Oh, no.
The one that ends in 227.
Oh, no, I haven't read the plane crash one.
Oh, my God.
So, so juicy.
I love this.
Some of these are terrible.
Let's start with Sarah.
Sarah, when did somebody slide into the DMs and have the audacity to hit on you?
Sarah?
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Yeah, someone, I posted up on like a community Facebook page asking if anyone mows lawns in my area.
And this guy messaged me and was like,
I'll cut your grass anytime.
Oh, for God's sake.
But did he cut your grass?
No.
Oh, okay. Right. Wait, what kind of grass cutting But did he cut your grass? No. Oh, okay.
Right.
Wait, what kind of grass cutting?
The lawns.
Did he do the lawns?
Yeah, did you find someone to do the lawns?
I did find someone to do the lawns,
but yeah, there were quite a few inappropriate messages that came through.
What if the lady just wants to get her bloody grass-looking bird for the summer?
Ridiculous.
Crazy.
And saying that, because I don't mind mowing the lawn
in a completely non-creepy manner.
I quite like mowing the lawn.
Oh, no, you'll never get rid of them.
They'll spend hours getting the answers.
What's our budget?
Are we undersigned?
Are we overdressing?
Sarah, thank you.
Monique, no names, but you got a pizza from a pizza outlet.
Yeah, yep. And I just, I got home and there was a pizza from a pizza outlet. Yeah, yeah.
And I just, I got home and there was a number on an app, Tim.
And I was like, oh, man, the guy must have accidentally written a number,
you know, from someone else.
Oh, how naive of you.
Humble.
I was like, oh, no way he's trying to slip me his number.
But I was pregnant as, like, in my P&L holding with holding with an M&M cranky and he must have heard me.
And, yeah, it was really funny.
I was like, no way, I'm pregnant as.
And, yeah, just a young guy at the front counter
just thought he'd flip me his number.
He's like, yeah, but I'll raise that baby with you.
Wow, the audacity.
Amazing.
Monique, thank you.
Cheryl.
Sometimes you've got to try, though, don't you?
You've got to try.
When did someone have the audacity to slide into the DMs?
I was selling a car seat on Marketplace,
and the guy came round and got it,
and he was a bit creepy.
Anyway, two days later, he DMed me saying,
thanks very much for the car seat.
I'd really like to catch up for a wine.
Wait, car seat?
So this guy had just become a dad?
Yes.
Yes?
I didn't even think about that.
Of course.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Was he still, like, if you clicked on his profile,
was he still, like, in the relationship?
Oh, I didn't have a look.
I wasn't interested.
You're right.
Yeah.
She said, I'm good.
Just block and move on.
Cheryl, thank you.
Message is in.
A guy slid into my DMs when I posted a photo at my granddad's funeral,
and he said, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'll help ease your pain.
Oh, no.
Papa just died.
Celebrated my wedding.
A week later, a guy who I had a thing for in high school reached out,
asking me to give him another chance.
We'd never dated.
We'd just been flirty when we were at school.
Oh, my God.
Another chance. Yeah. So I was listing a flat. just been flirty when we were at school. Oh, my God. Another chance.
Yeah.
So I was listing a flat.
I put a picture up of the people in the flat,
and this guy messaged saying,
let's save money on costs, and I'll share your room.
Oh.
I sold my first car to a guy in his 20s.
He would relentlessly text me for months afterwards asking me out.
I said, no, because your car's a piece of shit.
Good work there, because you just sold it to him.
Yeah. I was selling my breast pump post kids, and some creep messaged me asking about the size capacity because your car's a piece of shit. Good work there because you just sold it to him.
I was selling my breast pump post kids and some creep
messaged me asking about
the size capacity for nipples.
For God's sake.
Immediately blocked.
The most amazing thing
is that people are doing this
from their profiles.
Yeah, dude.
You can see who they are.
I also want to say there's a theme.
Yeah, there is. I was want to say there's a theme. Yeah, there is.
Who's giving and receiving.
I was selling a couple of guitars on Facebook.
Had an older gentleman message me saying,
I don't play guitar, but could you teach me how to...
No, you can't say...
Let's say work the chords.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's say work the chords.
Work the fretboard a bit.
Yeah.
Okay.
Get the digits dancing Work the fretboard a bit. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Get the digits dancing on the fretboard.
A man responded to my listing of clothes and bikinis.
He asked me to sell him used, unclean underpants.
So, I put...
Wait, what?
Born.
I put some fish oil in them and sold them to him.
This was two years ago and he still messages me asking for more.
I'd do it.
You've got the bottle of fish oil.
What, did you just open up a capsule, like an Omega-3 capsule?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Spritz it around.
Give it a day to dry and then sell it to him.
I'd do that because who cares?
That's money.
That's money in the bank.
That's money for jam. This one is
The Audacity. Okay, go.
Sad but true story. Should I read this
one? Three weeks after my
fiance lost his life in
a plane crash, a
male client of mine, I'm a beauty therapist,
messaged to see if I'd like to join
him and his wife for dinner to cheer me up.
I didn't go as I was obviously shattered by
grief, but glad I didn't because it turns out
they wanted me to go to a swingers party
with them. Three weeks
after her fiancé has passed away
in a horrible accident. Like at least
give it...
She said I'm still reeling from the audacity
six years later. Yeah.
A friend of mine was selling a wetsuit on Marketplace
and a guy messaged saying, would this fit in it? And then
a picture of his penis for size reference.
No, that did not happen.
That happened.
That happened.
I lost my fence in a recent storm,
posted it on an Insta,
like, look at the aftermath.
I had about eight offers from builders
to come and fix my fence
and one high school acquaintance
asked if insurance was covering it
and then tried to sell me more insurance.
Oh, wow.
You're hot though.
That's got to be
a problem
of eight builders alike.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Always good to have
your insurance up to date.
I picked up a mattress
from a mattress store
and the guy who helped me
load it
stole my number
from the invoice
and texted me
to ask how the mattress was
and if it needed breaking in.
Oh, that's so bad.
I will not read that one now.
There's a little reading here.
Yeah, because these are starting to flow thick and fast now.
My landlord had organised for a pest control guy
to come and spray the house for ants.
He came over to the house twice.
I later found out the second time
wasn't even organised with my landlord.
He just didn't even need to come over.
Really taking that pest job seriously.
Yeah, well, he's pesting.
Eliminating pests and replacing them with himself.
A week later, I woke up to a text he sent at 2am
asking me to pick him up.
He then went on to say I was very attractive
and was I looking for a boyfriend or just some fun and to let him know
he was easily old enough to be
my father. But at least you would
never have like ants again.
Yeah.
I mean you've got to weigh that up because ants
are a pain. And flies in summer.
Flies in summer. Any with some women having
the audacity to slip into me? No, no, not
really. Not a single one.
I sold my house to a couple of three kids.
After the sale, the partner, the male,
text me saying, I like you,
and asked me if I could send him topless photos.
Come on, dude.
A wife and three kids.
You've got to put a foundation down
before you just drop that one on.
Oh, my God.
I had a hit on my famously empty DMs.ms long story short let's just say both me and
the buyer and the seller came out completely satisfied with the transaction there you go
so that's one out of 100 so far um i was selling heels on marketplace unworn um just didn't wear
them for my wedding a man messaged asking what they looked like on and asking me for feet pictures
of what she was happy to pay for.
Oh.
Someone said,
every shot missed
is a shot not taken.
No, it's every shot not taken
is a shot missed.
Yeah.
But still,
these aren't shots
that should be taken.
These aren't shots.
No.
I was selling a bikini.
Someone asked me
how much it had been worn.
Oh, for God's sake.
And then asked me
for a rundown
of any stuff
that happened in the bikini.
Sounds like you need to get out the fish oil again and sell that to them.
Someone said, how do I get banned from Facebook Marketplace
for telling a scam account I won't go along with their BS,
but these creeps get away with all of this shit?
That's a question we're all asking ourselves.
Somebody else wants to know if you could message in
and say how much you get for old undies,
because they've got heaps of them,
and they're willing to sell them to fund the purchase of the new undies.
Love that.
Get that cash.
Get that cash.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fact of the day in Super Sense Week,
where we're looking at the animal kingdom for who is the champion of the senses.
Oh, yeah.
Today is touch day.
Oh, yeah.
Special mention for the humans.
Special mention for the humans.
Apparently our fingers and our hands.
Very good. Yeah, like little tickles up mention for the humans. Special mention for the humans. Apparently our fingers and our hands. Very good.
Yeah, like little tickles up the back.
Nice, yeah. Or little tickles on the arm.
Should we do a tickle train while we're doing this?
No, no, it's about how sensitive your touch is to touching a surface.
Yeah, like a back or an arm.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Because that's the back that's receiving the scratches.
We're doing light scratches.
Are we doing little tickles?
Yeah, we can do little tickles,
but it's about how sensitive our fingers are.
Can we all just put our hands out
and just do that for each other?
Can we just like go around in circles?
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
Round and round the garden,
like a teddy bear.
Ran the teddy bear.
Like a teddy bear.
Ran the teddy bear.
Ran around the garden.
When have you seen a teddy bear run around a garden
so much so that you'd be like,
I'd love to run around a garden like a teddy bear.
Very often, Vaughan. Very often.
Don't question me. Ran around the garden
like a teddy bear.
One step, two step,
tickly under there.
You've never heard that.
Jesus, were you touched as a child?
Did you come from an orphanage somewhere?
I didn't know Goose Goose Duck.
Duck, duck, goose. Goose Duck. No, there's more know Goose Goose Duck. Duck, duck, goose.
Goose Duck.
No, there's more ducks than there are geese.
Oh, okay, right.
Well, I never played that.
And you ran around the garden like a teddy bear,
one step, two step, tickly under there.
Ah, it doesn't ring a bell.
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy ran home.
Oh, that one I know.
That one I know.
And the one where you pretend you're...
Here's the lyrics.
Round and round the garden like a teddy bear.
Ran the teddy bear. Like a teddy bear. And then the teddy bear runs up the arm. Round and round the garden, like a teddy bear. Ran the teddy bear.
Like a teddy bear.
And then the teddy bear runs up the arm.
Well, anyway, touch.
Well, while we're good, and that feels nice, actually,
just tickling the palm.
That's relaxing.
Let's do that.
Let's do that.
I might hit the elbow.
I might hit the inside of the elbow.
And then a little bit up the back.
Yeah.
Today's fact of the day is that we have nothing on the snout of the star-nosed mole
who is the champion of the sense of touch in the animal kingdom.
I hate star-nosed moles.
Google it.
They're gross.
Very unusual.
They just look like a mole, but on the end of their nose
isn't a mole nose.
It's like a flappy starfish.
Yeah.
It's like something out of Stranger Things.
They're so gross. It's got demogorgon energy. Big demogorgon energy. It looks like a starfish. Yeah. It's like something out of Stranger Things. They're so gross.
It's got demogorgon energy.
Big demogorgon energy.
So its head looks
like a starfish.
That's the end of its nose.
Or an inside head.
It's got eyes and stuff
but they're no good.
Gross, eh?
That bizarre looking
snout that you're looking at
or maybe bookmarking
it to Google
once you've finished
driving your car
has over 100,000
nerve endings.
That's more than five times the amount of nerves in the entire human hand
in the space of one single fingertip.
Wow.
So they can sense movement underground.
So when they're digging, they'll stop and they'll put their nose against the dirt
and they can feel bugs moving over there and the vibrations coming in.
And they're like, I can feel that. We'll go
there. And they're super quick.
It's kind of like a cat's whisker too.
It can navigate them through,
point them in directions, but has
100,000 nerve endings. Is it wet?
It looks
fleshy, eh? Yeah.
Looks real fleshy.
It looks dampish.
Dampish? Yeah. I'll stop short of saying it looks the M word
But usually I don't have a problem
Saying the M word but something about
Staring into that snout and saying moist
Is not going to sit well with me
So today's fact of the day
The most sensitive animal in the world
When it comes to touch is the star-nosed mole
Fact of the day Day day day day the most sensitive animal in the world when it comes to touch is the star-nosed mole.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Yesterday it was brought to my attention while looking over
I wasn't spying but I just saw on Aaron's phone
that he's part of a group chat called like
Christmas party club vibe
Yeah
And I saw Sade in there Vaughn's wife Yeah And I saw Sade in there.
Vaughn's wife. Yeah, right. I saw
my fiance in there and I saw
two of our friends. Who I
didn't see in there was
Vaughn and Hayley. So
our partners and our friends
have started their own
separate group chat. And then
it was brought to my attention yesterday that they're actually
planning a Christmas party that doesn't involve us.
They, well they own a business, our friends own a business and Aaron's helped them
and Sade's done absolutely jack shit for them to be totally honest. She's promised to go up
but she's been drinking and she's like, I'll have her on, help with sanding things.
And has never once gone. I love that she does this. To be honest, she offers every time and I roll my eyes
because I know it's not going to happen. Yeah.
And I mean,
she offered on Friday night.
I think it was,
I'll come help you
lift some wood onto a machine.
And I knew that
wasn't going to happen,
but I kept my mouth shut.
Of course.
So then they were like,
well, they own a business
so they're like,
we're going to have
a business Christmas party
and then Aaron and Sade
don't like have
the contract work so they don't get Christmas parties. Yeah. And they, like, have the contract work,
so they don't get Christmas parties.
Yeah.
And they're like, let's just do one big Christmas party
on the same day that we'll have the ZDM Christmas party.
But this is what I thought about it is,
they started planning a Christmas party that I would like.
Yeah.
They're going clay bird shooting.
Oh, I've done that.
It's lots of fun.
It's so much fun.
I'm also very good at it. I'm very good at it too. No, you're not. Yes, I am. Clay bird shooting, I'm really that. It's lots of fun. I'm also very good at it. I'm very good
at it too. No, you're not. Yes, I am.
Play good shooting. I'm really good. No, you're not.
I am. How are you? You're thinking of Buck Hunter
at the arcade. No, when I did play good
shooting, I was the best in the
bunch. But I'm just very hard, by the way.
I like when a man tells you what you're good at.
I like it too. Yeah.
Can you slap me a little bit?
Okay, we've found the kink.
There it is, being run down, taking the fitness moment back 30 years.
I'm like...
Oh, my God.
Just how ugly?
You're the ugliest person I've seen today.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, you are.
I think you might be the ugliest person I see all week.
You know it.
You don't drive well.
Yeah, I'm terrible behind the wheel.
You're terrible behind the wheel.
You're a real danger to everyone, including yourself.
Bad, naughty danger.
Yeah, yeah.
No wonder you two have not been invited to your partner's Christmas parties.
Well, some research has been done and it has found
that the average adult is spending four hours a month
with their friends.
Four hours a month?
And I think back to the last month and I'm proud of you, Vaughan,
because I can, of all the times we've spent in groups
outside of work, you have done so well in the last month.
I've really done well. It's been fun, actually. I've really enjoyed it. We've had a lot of work. You have done so well in the last month. I've really done well. It's been fun, actually.
I've really enjoyed it.
We've had a lot of fun. Four hours
a month, I'd spend at least four hours a week
with my friends. Yeah, you're very
social. No, minimal.
Like, four hours a
night.
I'd say four hour
sessions at least three
times a week. So the average person spends four hours a month
socialising with friends,
meeting up just twice during that period.
So that averages out to two hours a time.
More than a quarter of the adults polled
say that they're spending less time in person
with friends this year compared to last year.
Oh, gosh.
Also, because I think like,
because of the cost of living
and like people with mortgages
and like just everything's so expensive,
they're kind of
cancelling a lot of going out. Yeah,
right. Because it is just so expensive. So
millennials, those between the
ages of 25 and 34,
37% are struggling to
find time for their friends. Yeah, because they're spending
all their time chasing that pootie tang.
Pootie
tang. Pootie tang. Pootie tang. Pootie tang.
Pootie tang.
Pootie tang.
They're out there, they're like, man, I've got a choice to make
today. I'm going to catch up with my friends and I'm going to try to
give me some of that pootie tang.
Or they're working so much or working a second
job just to feed themselves.
Ain't no time for friends nor pootie tang.
Chasing that money tang.
And compared to Gen Zers,
yeah, they are the only age group
spending more time with their friends this year.
So they're prioritising that over millions.
I reckon my social life has flourished this year
more than ever.
Even I, who love socialising.
Well, you collect a lot of friends.
Recently, I've been like,
oh man, yeah.
So I'm out all the time.
Speaking of socialising, we're hanging out on Thursday, aren't we, for Fridays?
