Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello. How are ya? Hello, good morning. Hi, good morning. Hello, good morning.
Starting point is 00:00:19 You guys know that Bobby from Queer Eye is leaving? I do not know who Bobby from Queer Eye is. He's the one who does the home renovations and honestly, I can't blame him. Is he your favourite? Is he the one that did all the heavy lifting
Starting point is 00:00:29 when some guy was like, and then I smear avocado on toast? Yeah, basically. Right. And someone's like, you need to tell your dad you love him.
Starting point is 00:00:37 And then Bobby's like, hey, I just converted this whole house into like a loft area. I had a vision. I renovated this in five days but yeah man, tell your father you love him.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Anyway. You can smash some avocado on some bread. You can see why he's tired. The eve of Friday's life. What if he's not gay? That's why he's leaving. He's turned straight. Well no, what if he was never gay? It was all just...
Starting point is 00:01:03 He's got a loving husband. Oh does he? Who's a woman? Yeah, no, no. What if he was never gay? It was all just... Oh, he's got a loving husband. Oh, does he? Who's a woman? Yeah, but that's beside the point. Huh. Interesting. What if he's not gay? You're busted, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Yes, Friday's tomorrow. I'm pumped. I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight. Coming hot and hard. The top six on the way. Turns out people are just not washing their hair. Manky. You're gross, man. I mean, if I had hair, I'd wash it.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah, true. I can't remember how often I used to wash my hair. Every couple days? Yeah, boys don't need to as much for sure. I think I was like once a week or if it was particularly like grubby. Yeah. But I've got the top six things people are doing in the shower instead of washing their hair. Because they're still showering.
Starting point is 00:01:50 They're just not washing their hair when they're in there. Okay. Mine's out of the gutter. Next on the show. I have recently renovated a kitchen, as you know. Yeah. And apparently I've missed out on the hottest kitchen trend this year. That people are going,
Starting point is 00:02:05 yeah, I get that it's trendy, but my God, that's expensive. It's out of control. I'll tell you what it is next. Apparently the newest, hottest kitchen trend is it's a middle-class life goal that people are saying. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:25 And it is to have two of everything. Two of everything. Like what? Like two taps? Two dishwashers. Two dishwashers? Or two dish drawers. Wait, this is just in the kitchen?
Starting point is 00:02:37 No, it would be four dish drawers. Oh, because two's normal. Because two's normal. So two dishwashers. Because that photo there, there's two big dishwashers In the kitchen That's ridiculous So you've got one that is
Starting point is 00:02:51 One going, one loading No How many dishes doth one own? I know and people are saying It's not just for people that have like An abundance of children And huge things, it's just like It's max living it's max living
Starting point is 00:03:05 no it's max living wait is this American like those American mansions you always see everywhere the McMansion yeah horrendous so it started with the dishwasher then it moved to double oven now I know my mum who's a wonderful entertainer
Starting point is 00:03:21 and a great cook would love a double oven see that's the only thing that makes sense, having a double oven. Some butler's pantries or sculleries have an oven in it as well. Yeah. You've got the ham in there and the chicken in there and that whatnot. So for those two times a year you're entertaining. I think you're cooking a feast. It comes in handy.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. But also a great place to keep oven trays, large oven trays. Instead of making more storage, just put a second oven for all your oven trays. Well, that's the other thing about having two dishwashers. You'd never need to put your dishes away. You just leave them in the dishwasher until you need them. And then just use them from there,
Starting point is 00:03:58 loading the other one, use them from there, load the other one. Well, two sinks might be a good idea. Two sinks is on the list as well. Yeah, okay. So you've got one for soaking. Two sinks is handy. One for going. I always wanted one of the two sinks might be a good idea. Two sinks is on the list as well. Yeah okay. So you've got one for soaking. Two sinks is handy. One for the, I always wanted
Starting point is 00:04:08 one of the split sinks you know when you've got two literally as part of one because then you're soaking and you're washing and you've got dirties and whatnot. Yeah. But I didn't put that in my kitchen so I've missed that trend as well. Double fridge. I mean we've got a fridge in the garage.
Starting point is 00:04:24 That's silly. Yeah that's what the fridge is. But they're saying we just get a kitchen. You just get a Double fridge. I mean, we've got a fridge in the garage. That's silly. Yeah, that's what the fridge is. But they're saying it is in the kitchen. You just get a big fridge. I know. And then the creme de la creme of the double kitchen trend is just two kitchens. Two kitchens. How big are these people's houses? I know.
Starting point is 00:04:38 And how much money do they have? That's ridiculous. And they're referencing the houses of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Lopez. Oh, my God. And the Beckhams and whatnot. So you've got your main kitchen, you've got your sub-kitchen. I'm sorry, where's this money coming from? You could have a kitchen and then another wing of the house
Starting point is 00:04:57 have a kitchenette. Yeah. Like a minimal kitchen. Well, some of those houses are so giant they kind of do need double. But your everyday person doesn't need two ovens, two dishwashers. That's what I mean. It just feels like such a... I could think of so many other ways to use the space in my house than a second kitchen. Bigger wardrobe. More wine rack space. I want a cellar.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah, dude dude Oh my god My godfather Who is I'm gonna say it I love him A very wealthy man Okay He used to have
Starting point is 00:05:32 How have we not been Introduced I don't know My godfather is Uncle Murray And he has a combi van Yeah Oh shoot
Starting point is 00:05:40 We should all hang out With our godfathers Yeah He used to have He had this house Where in the kitchen Was a little floor trap and you'd lift it up. Dude, that is my dream. Staircase to a wine cellar. That is my dream.
Starting point is 00:05:54 That was like dark. Except you'd have that but there'd be no wine in it because you'd drink it. Constantly empty. I'd get stuck down there. The lights would be closed and be like, well I've got everything I need. I had a photo shoot at a house once with a guy who, when the minute I walked in. Was it a sexy lingerie shoot? It was a sexy lingerie shoot. He couldn't pay me that
Starting point is 00:06:10 day, but he could pass my photo and video on to other producers who I could make up to $5,000 a day. He's opening doors. Right. Beautiful black leather couch, but that's beside the point. He had a, the minute I walked in, I was like, what's that? And he's like, it's my cellar. And he said, when you've done your photo shoot, he like carrot andar. And he said, when you've done your photo shoot,
Starting point is 00:06:25 he'd like carrot and stick situation. When you've done your photo shoot, you can have a look. And I did the photo shoot and I was just so excited. It's probably my best photo shoot because I was so excited about the trap door in the house. Actual genuine smiles. Genuine smiles. Very hard to get out of me to photo shoot
Starting point is 00:06:40 because I hate them so much. And then he was like, so this is off the records. This isn't like, I've just done this myself because I knew that it was rock under the house. So I just put this flap in and I'd go down and just pick it up, pick, pick, pick, pick, pick, and bring it up. Yeah, dude. And he built a wine cellar and it was like
Starting point is 00:06:57 lined with, was it cedar or one of those really nice smelling woods? Oh my God. And I was immediately like, that's what I want. Wow. So I looked under my house when I got home. Yeah. And it's dirt and clay.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And very, like, prone to flood. Wet dirt and clay. Yeah. Whereas he was on volcanic rock. Could make it a spa pool. Under the house spa pool. Well, I thought this when we were digging up our backyard and we hit the old septic tank, which is quite big and it's a big concrete tub.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I was like, we could turn this into something. Yeah, dude. Some sort of storage. Might need a rinse. Yeah, right. Might need a rinse. Might need a rinse. Stunt to high health.

I'm going to pivot right now because I was going to tell you about one, the dating expert telling you why you shouldn't text in the new stages of relationship because it's all about gaining control. And I remember that when you about one, the dating expert telling you why you shouldn't text in the new stages of relationship because it's all about gaining control.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And I remember that when you were like, he hasn't texted me. Should I text him? Yeah. Or wait, or shall I wait? Oh no, no. I've sent him a message and then you're like, oh, now I'm clingy. You're like, this is why you should disagree. Let's not text.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Let's phone call and meet up. Anyway, that's the gist of it. Yeah. There you go. You've been given a little. Yeah. But there's breaking, there's breaking news. Matt LeBlanc has finally sort of posted.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And now I know that they did a group post, the remaining cast of Friends, saying like, well, we will comment on this in time. That they're obviously heavily grieving. Well, as of about 45 minutes ago, Matt LeBlanc has made a post full of photos of, oh, it makes me so sad. It's on Instagram and it's like...
Starting point is 00:12:27 Chandler and Joey, just pictures of them. It's the beautiful, loving flaties. I've pivoted, Vaughn. I've pivoted. Yeah, sorry about that, guys. Something I've eaten has disagreed with me. Something has fizzed. Babe.

Starting point is 00:13:05 No poop chat, no giggles. He would have liked that. How are you doing? Come on. Matthew Perry would have liked that. Imagine if Matt LeBlanc, his first thing was, could I be any sadder? Which would have been great.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Which would have been great. He says, Matthew, it is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favourite times of my life. It was an honour to share the stage with you and call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I'll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly, brother. You're finally free.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Much love. And I guess you're keeping the 20 bucks you owe me. Which is a cute little joke at the end. But he shared all these photos of Joey and Chandler. I mean, they just had the best bromance of all time. And I think he's the first to do like a full... Post. Direct post.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Full post. From the main cast, yeah. Sorry, yes, from the remaining five of the Friends cast. The rest of them have been keeping very quiet in their grief. And, yeah, really sad. So there you go, you've got a little twofer in this break. You got a little don't text early on in your relationship and you got, well, you actually got a threefer.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Yeah, we found out about it. Vaughan's got a terrible bowel situation this morning. I think it's further up the track. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to think what I ate that was. What did you have for din dons? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Here it is. For lunch, I ate the curry from Saturday. On a Tuesday? On a Tuesday? On a Tuesday? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. That's rolling the dice. That's good for a day, a day and a half.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I think it's a roll the dice. It's not like a die-ass situation, but just a little more, maybe a little bit. Right. Tiptoed more than usual. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. Well, there's been some research done into keeping secrets. And, you know, I guess we've always known that keeping bad secrets
Starting point is 00:14:51 or negative secrets is not good for your health. Eat you up. Or eating you up, always looking over your shoulder, that kind of thing. Oh, yeah, totally. Well, this is actually a study on if you keep a positive secret, it actually makes you feel alive and feel amazing like a pregnancy news
Starting point is 00:15:10 an engagement something happy apparently that is just incredible for your health oh god this is just reminding me I don't know if I can get into this but at drama school there was this one teacher who at the end of our training was like,
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'm going to whisper a secret in each of your ears. And it's your secret and your superpower. And if you tell anyone, it loses its power. Okay. She was incredibly manipulative. How much did you pay for this degree again at drama school? In total, it was $42,000. Have you kept the secret to this day?
Starting point is 00:15:44 No. Literally, the teacher left the room and we were like, what's your secret? We all told each other except for one student who was like, I'm going to keep my secret. We were like, good for you, babe. And then they left and you were like, my secret is they're a dick. My secret was that I'm always wearing long earrings.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And I was like, it's because I've got bad posture. Anyway, long story. Wait, what? Wait a minute. What? So these weren't made up. He was like, you cannot fly.
Starting point is 00:16:10 And you were like, okay, I'll keep it secret. Because I've always thought that about getting an actual superpower, but the minute you tell anybody about the superpower or sleeping with like a celebrity of your choice, but you can never tell anybody. Oh my God. Oh no, I'd have to tell everyone. You know I would tell you. I would tell you. I have to. I reckon I could do it. You'd see it on my god. Oh no, I'd have to tell everyone. You know I would tell you. You have to. I would tell you. I have to. I reckon I could do it.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You'd see it on my face. Because I did always think, imagine if you had hooked up with Jasmine and Mo, would you tell us? You would 100% tell us. I would literally be like, that was nice. I'm just going to pop to the toilet. Oh my god. Voice message. Guys,
Starting point is 00:16:42 send you a photo. Ah, I'm naked. I just got Aquaman. Is that on a TV show or a movie where someone does that? They try to call their friend or voice. I feel like that's been a scene from a movie. Probably. I wouldn't be able to. I'm not good with secrets. I can keep other people's secrets. Like if you were to tell me a secret
Starting point is 00:16:58 I would keep it with me to the day I died. But if my own secrets... It sounds like you're also now just saying that because you've just made a point about how bad you are at keeping secrets but you still want us to tell you our secrets so you're like, I'm actually really good at keeping other people's secrets. It's actually like one of my defining features is that I'm really good at keeping
Starting point is 00:17:13 secrets. Yeah. No one believes that anymore. See, sleeping with a celebrity and you weren't allowed to tell anyone, that would actually be what the study says. Yeah, I get it. It's a little like glitter inside of you. Yeah, you would have this feeling of readiness and energy all the time
Starting point is 00:17:29 because you'd remember it. I kind of get it. That's why when you do, like when friends have told me. It's a little bit insane though. Yeah, it's a little bit insane. Just this wired nervous energy all the time. Yeah, I sort of like that. When friends have told me they've been pregnant
Starting point is 00:17:43 and maybe they're, you know, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee. Yeah, I sort of like that. When friends have told me they've been pregnant and maybe they're, you know, waiting for the safe bracket, they do, they've got a little energy about them. And then when they tell you, you're like, I knew it! There's something exciting going on. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fletchvorn and Hayley, silly little poe, silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Today's silly little pole is based on the kiss that has rocked the world between Taylor Swift and Kelsey, Travis Kelsey. Yeah, the football player. The football player. They've been playing with each other. Hey, did he play all the way to Argentina? Yeah. And she changed the lyric in one of her songs. That's like a long flight.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I know, that's love. And then they had a big kiss and everyone was like, oh my God, they're like macking out in front of everyone. Remember when we used to do that? So we asked,
Starting point is 00:18:52 do you like PDA, public displays of affection? 71% of people said no. Are you and Aaron a big, I can't imagine. We touch, but we don't. You're not going to go to the mall
Starting point is 00:19:03 holding hands, are you? No, we'll hold hands for like five seconds, a moment of connection. Yeah. And maybe a little bit of arm around the shoulder, but nothing more than that. We're not kissing. Where was that bar we went to and that couple was cashing? That's right. And it was like two o'clock in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Like, oh, no. Yeah. Oh, no. Where was that? God, it was wild. I And it was like two o'clock in the afternoon. Where was that? God, it was wild. I think it was your birthday weekend. And it was, yeah, two in the afternoon and that couple were just at the table in front of everybody. Macking out. Oblivious to anyone around them. But that, like,
Starting point is 00:19:36 classic new relationship, right? Yeah, I know. First few months. So 71% of people said no. Some feedback. Josh says, not for myself personally or for straights, but the gays should have free reign. We deserve it. So we like gay PDA.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Right. Okay, but just not straight PDA. Not the straights. I heard gay PDA once. Heard. Heard it. And it wasn't the... It was the...
Starting point is 00:20:02 Oh, okay. Stubble on stubble. Oh, goodness. Stubble on stubble. Oh, goodness. Stubble on stubble. Like a friction. Yeah. You sound very close. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:10 It was right behind me. It was at a concert. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, right. Helen says, like a little kiss here and there is cute.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I saw a girl wrap her legs around her partner, kissing him randomly while he was trying to place an order at a bakery. It was so awkward. So she's not into it, Helen. She got the legs around her partner, kissing him randomly while he was trying to place an order at a bakery, was so awkward. So she's not into
Starting point is 00:20:28 it, Helen. She's got the legs around. Do you think she's on his back? And he's like, you'll have a chicken for... A guava beer. Sausage. You shouldn't be carrying on like that so close to Lamington's in Custard Squares, that's for sure. Have some respect. Have some respect
Starting point is 00:20:42 when the pastries please. CJ said, I voted yes, but in reality it's just a respect when the pastries please. CJ said, I voted yes, but in reality, it's just a reflex when dating a hottie. Oh, you can't help yourself.
Starting point is 00:20:50 You can't take my hands off you. Yeah, okay. That's good fun. Kat says, I don't mind it. Not a full snog and grab, but we walk halfway to work together
Starting point is 00:20:59 every morning and at the junction where we part ways, we always do kisses and love yous. There's often other people around there waiting for the lights to cross but hey, that's alright
Starting point is 00:21:07 I love you bye, see you later, that's fine not like a full blown pash not like a 30 second pash Beck says yes I do like it but mostly because I'm a bit jealous since me and my man don't do it oh ok, just kiss him
Starting point is 00:21:23 lovely Jillian says, just hand-holding and pecs are okay. Nothing where you need a room, please. Yeah, yeah. And Brianna says, I love rubbing my gayness in other people's face. So we're more on board with the gays and the PDAs, the PD gays,
Starting point is 00:21:42 the PD gays. than the PD straights. I'm so lost. And I just genuinely feel like I've been young up until this moment. This very moment right now. What the hell is this? Okay, so Gen Alpha have some slang
Starting point is 00:22:03 and people just are so confused by it. So I'm going to put it to you guys and see if you can tell what this slang means. I mean, you may experience this at a family Christmas. If you don't already have kids and you're not a, like your kids are both Gen Alpha. Gen Alpha is apparently 2010 to 2024. So at the end of next year, we're going to need a new one. Oh. We're on the precipice of needing a new Gen,

Starting point is 00:28:39 Roxanne. Is in Thailand. Oh, lovely. And she sent through some pictures of Christmas merriment. Okay. Large, this looks like a mall, dare I say it, maybe MBK. Although it looks like a flasher mall than MBK. I love MBK. Looks like bartering isn't on the agenda at this mall.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Damn. Haglan and such. Have we had many New Zealand mall Christmas tree reports? Yep. They've dribbled in. They've dribbled in. They're mostly up by now.
Starting point is 00:29:10 A couple of the two-story ones that are in the open bit. Are they? There's a big old Jolly St. Nick there in Thailand and weirdly it looks like
Starting point is 00:29:18 Pahutukawa blossoms. I thought it was just us with our purple Pahutukawa blossoms. Oh, okay. Lisa said she spotted this special Christmas-themed glass that says Prosecco Ho Ho Ho. Fantastic. We must get some.
Starting point is 00:29:39 A sparkling flute. Oh, yeah. She doesn't say where she saw it. It's got typo written all over it, though, if I'm totally honest. Yeah, feels typo. Tasha sent in some pictures from her local supermarket, which has now a Christmas arch over the one-way trolley system. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:58 You know, you can go in with a trolley, but you can't get the trolley back out. Well, you're not getting out of that. Yeah. One-way trolley system. One of those. Also, top this, and there's Christmas decorations. And it's even hit the produce section as they've made a Christmas tree out of apple slices, just purely, like, on cardboard, but the apple slices are made into a Christmas tree.
Starting point is 00:30:16 And a Santa made out of a strawberry and some ice cream and some berries and a wreath made out of a pineapple ring. Oh, yum. That's pretty clever. Christmas penetration at Hamner Springs Hot Pools has been reported by Nick. Oh. I didn't know the Hot Pools had a Christmas section.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Well, they probably just put some tinsel up or some wreaths. It looks like there's things you can take home. Oh, okay. Like decorations and such. In the gift store. Wilson, he sent me a video of the farmer's Christmas shop in full swing. Yeah. He said this has surely got to be.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Oh, yeah. I went in the other day and I was delighted. With how much is in there. So much fun. And a report from the one and only Mr. Fletcher. Yeah, I saw some big balls. Didn't I? I saw the big balls.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Oh, you've submitted yourself. Submitted. Yeah. Interesting. So those are at the bottom of Queen Street. At Britomart in the square there. Oh, yes, I saw them. Which always annoys me, those big balls,
Starting point is 00:31:14 because they purchased them for the, when we had the first FIFA thingy, for some soccer thing. And if you look close, you can see the hexagonal soccer ball markings. It's been repurposed. And then they repurposed them as Christmas decorations. Was that the under-23 or the under-19s or something we had one time?
Starting point is 00:31:29 It was ages ago. Yes, yes, yes. If you look closer, you can see the markings of the soccer balls under the Christmas decorations. The little hexagons. And I'm all for upcycling and recycling, but it just gets me. It feels cheap. It feels cheap.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And also, Courtney plays his road cone Christmas tree. Yes, in Wellington. It feels cheap. And also, Courtney plays his road cone Christmas tree. Yes, in Wellington. So it's all... It's a hot play. With all that in mind, and 39 days away from Christmas... Donner and Blitzen start stretching those legs. Christmas penetration is at... 90%!
Starting point is 00:31:57 Oh! 90%! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. He's a funny boy. He just won Celebrity Treasure Island 2023. James Musterpick joins us. Kia ora. Kia ora.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Welcome. I'm just going to move that out of the way because it's blocking your beautiful face. Thank you. Now, you aren't here to talk about Celebrity Treasure Island. Don't worry, we're not that late to the party. I noticed I didn't get any messages of congratulations. Well, you weren't my choice to win. You weren't my pick. I'm just going to say it.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Whoever you're rooting for. Anyone else but you. When I saw the cast, I was like, if James Muspick wins this, I will cut my own hair off and I've booked the appointment. But we will touch on it. Congratulations. Obviously, that was such an amazing moment. Yeah, it was cool.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Did you go in wanting the win? Well, yeah, but I never thought I would do it. I just, you know, it was just there for a laugh, really. Are you a competitive person? Because Maddie McLean will kill anyone to win anything. A board game, even. I know. I'm going to take him down on winner's season.
Starting point is 00:33:16 That's a question, though, because Maddie's obviously done it twice. Would you go back? Of course, yeah. Would you? Yeah. I've been very vocal about the fact that I'd rather do anything else than do Celebrity Treasure Island. Oh, no. Yeah, to me, it's a panic attack on camera
Starting point is 00:33:31 and I don't want it at all. She gets hangry too. And me, you, you'd be terrible. Vaughn, you wouldn't have a bar of it. No. Not even if we went as a trio, but you obviously had a great time. Name a charity that aren't worth my time.
Starting point is 00:33:46 But the money you could bring could actually cure so many diseases. Sorry, no, not on my watch. Wow. Well, it's good that you famous people say no to it because then people like me who are not famous at all get to do it. Well, you're about to get a whole lot more famous.
Starting point is 00:34:01 You've got Queer Academy coming out. Well, it's out now, right? Yeah. Launched last night? Yes. That's with 3 News and TVNZ+. Correct. Now, I have a synopsis
Starting point is 00:34:11 and you tell me if this is on the mark. Okay. Guided by your headmistress, winner of Celebrity Treasure Island and Twin Lines and James Must Be, we've been there. Each episode will explore a lesson that we can learn
Starting point is 00:34:20 from the LGBTQIA plus communities. What's the second T? Look, I'll be honest, no clue. I just say queer. It just kind of encapsulates them all. But queer, I love it because queer does sort of, it's a beautiful umbrella term. It is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 So tell us what it's about. Yeah, so it's kind of an educational slash comedy show about queer culture and the queer community and, yeah, what you can learn. And queer joy. Yes, that's right. Right, which is what you wanted us to ask you about. So the episode titles, we've got Sexual Health.
Starting point is 00:34:53 We've got Whānau, How to Find Your Chosen Whānau, because I know that's super important. Even in bloody 2023, would you believe it, that some families are still so stupid and find it hard to accept about choosing your own whānau fashion
Starting point is 00:35:08 yes now you have brought a lovely stripy number what is it why do you think that fashion I'm just picking this episode out episode three
Starting point is 00:35:17 of five that's a great idea why is fashion important in the queer world well the episode's sort of about how fashion can can make you feel more yourself and feel freed in the queer world? Well, it's, the episode's sort of about how fashion can,
Starting point is 00:35:25 can make you feel more yourself and feel free to be who you are and express yourself. Because these guys, these guys know that fashion's my passion. It is, yeah. You wouldn't know it
Starting point is 00:35:35 from wearing a white t-shirt today. White t-shirt, top knot, no makeup. That's about it. Yeah. But this does not define who I am. I'm more in this. And then episode four, coming out, how to come out to about it. Yeah. But this does not define who I am. I'm more in this.
Starting point is 00:35:45 And then episode four, coming out, how to come out to your doctor. Yes. What is that different to coming out to friends, family? Well, the episode, it's kind of about, I think it's more for trans people who want to maybe transition or talk to their doctor about, yeah, those sorts of things. Great. And then episode five is non-monogamy.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Yes. Guys love it, eh? It's me. They love a bit of non-monogamy. Yeah, a bit of an open relay-o. Tell me I'm wrong. You're not wrong, are you? Far more than the heteros.
Starting point is 00:36:19 We get a little bit scared and a little bit precious about it. So do you talk to, you're going out, you're talking to people sort of documentary style? Yeah, kind of. Yeah, and each episode has a comedian guest. Wow. Yeah, wow. Wow, not invited, wow.
Starting point is 00:36:36 This sort of keeps on happening. Yeah, well, if you stopped talking about open relationships and polyamory in such. In a nasty way. Open up your relationship and come back to me. I would be more into it. And so this is the first season? Yes. Hopefully of many.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yes. And do you find now that it was Queer Academy, as you say, your headmistress, do you find you're a little bit more of like an expert on these things now? Did you learn things along the way? I certainly did. I've still got a lot to learn.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Like what the T's, the T. Two T's stand for. I reckon I can do it. L, lesbian. G, gay. B, bi. T, trans.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I'll skip the second T. Q, queer. I, intersexual. A, asexual. What is the second T? I've got one. It's L-IP2SA. That's a PlayStation 2.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Well, that's the new model. That's the new model. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, pansexual, two-spirited and asexual. But I still don't have an answer on what your second T is. Maybe that is at season two. Yeah, yeah, let's explore it. Why not? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Well, you can binge it now, which is great, on TVNZ+. Absolutely very excited, James Musbrook. Thank you for joining us. Yay, thanks for having me. Bye. Now, you may remember we talked about this this Kmart was doing pink suitcases and the world went cray Yes
Starting point is 00:38:11 Like everyone in Australia and New Zealand was just like It was during like Barbie pandemonium Yeah And they had these awesome affordable pink suitcases But they weren't Barbie pink They were like a Soft pink Like a pastel like a soft pink. Like a pastel pink. Pastely pink.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Well, it was only a matter of time until people started getting the wrong bag, wasn't it? And this happened recently. A Wellington woman went, where was she flying? Back to Wellington from Brisbane. I believe it's pronounced. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And she was one of the last, you know, she's a dilly-dallyer, probably getting a little bit of cheap vodka or something on the way. She was one of the last people to make it to the baggage claim where she saw her pink bag, grabbed it. Yeah, great. There it is distinctly. That's why I bought it because it's so fun. Realised quite quickly when she got home that it was not her bag at all.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It was, in fact, the bag of another man who was early off the plane, and he grabbed it, and off he went. Which, international, is always a risk, because you don't know that they don't have a bag of Coke or a bag of apples in their bag. I don't want Coke nor apples in my bag, thank you. And then you've got to take someone else's bag through security, by security.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It's not mine, it's not mine, it's not mine. I'd rather, for the record, have the apples. Same. For the record. But what if you get away with it? Do you know what I mean? Now you're making money. Are you gormathing accidentally picking up your bag?
Starting point is 00:39:37 I'm just saying they might not pick it up. Then what? You've got a bag of apples? Yeah. Hmm. I don't know which one I'm going for. I'll take the risk. Thank you, sir.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Anyway, so she put it up on social media, Power of of apples? Yeah. Hmm. I don't know which one I'm going for. I'll take the risk. Thank you, sir. Anyway, so she put it up on social media, power of social media. Yeah. Someone saw it and then was like, don't you have this bag? Weren't you just in Brisbane? Do-do-do-do. Put two and two together.
Starting point is 00:39:53 They connected and got the right bag. But I want to talk about the time where you got the wrong bag because this happens all the time. Everyone's like, my mum was always like, I tie a red ribbon around the handle. I was like, you and everyone, Patsy.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And then all the bags come out and they've got a red ribbon around them. Yeah, and you're like, oh my God. Everyone's had the same thought. Well, some airports have the announcement. Like you travel and you're waiting for your bag and it's like many bags look the same. Yes, please check the name tags.
Starting point is 00:40:22 That's why you've got to tag them back. I mean, that's a good thing when you break a wheel off your suitcase or you crack the handle. You know that that's yours when you get it. You might as well have it held together by duct tape with my underwear bursting out of it. Yeah. But maybe this has happened to you and maybe it took a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:40:37 What did you find? Was it a conundrum? Did you get it back? Yeah. I'm sure this happens all the time. Especially when there are like 150 million country road bags. Look, it was a moment in time
Starting point is 00:40:50 and if you didn't have one, you weren't considered cool. Yeah. Are we still doing the duffels? Hell yeah. We're always waiting on Karwin and her bloody duffel bag. Yes. Whenever we travel because she's not Karoo. Hers is a maroon one, isn't it? Hers is a maroon one with gold writing and every
Starting point is 00:41:05 time we're always waiting there being like it's the bloody country road duffel we're waiting on can't win. Well many suitcases apparently
Starting point is 00:41:12 they make more than one of these suitcases. Yeah. Look the same. They do. Have you picked up somebody else's bag
Starting point is 00:41:17 by mistake? What happened? Did you get it home and realise? Was there something cool in there? Was there something cool or was it
Starting point is 00:41:22 like absolutely terrible and you had to wear someone's bloody stained muumuu during your trip to Fiji? We want to know when you picked up the wrong bag because with the popularity of those pink Kmart bags,
Starting point is 00:41:35 it's happening. People are just like, that's my pink bag. Well, yeah, and they don't make one suitcase. No. You know, they make like hundreds of thousands of them. Yeah, exactly. Around the world. So it does happen a lot.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Tracy, did you pick up the wrong bag? No, it was my bag. Your bag got picked up by somebody else. I guess that someone put something in my bag because when I got home, I had a brand new jacket. So thanks. Wait, so you picked up your bag, but something else was in it. Wasn't there when I packed it, no.
Starting point is 00:42:12 So, do you reckon they picked up your bag and they were like, oh, put my jacket in while we're waiting. Yes. And then they were like, oh, it's not my bag, put it back. No, I don't know what they did, but I got the jacket afterwards when I got home. It was still sitting in there. There might have been a, here's my theory.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Okay. It was a TSA situation where they randomly put, you know, the people that pull out random bags and open them up and give them a little bit of a look. Oh, yes. Two of them open at the same time. Jacket fell out in the middle. They're like, whose bag was the jacket in? 50-50, shove it in that one.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Because they found some batteries in the bags or something like that. Was it a nice jacket? Was it a jacket wearable in your life? Yeah, it was just one of those plain kind of rain jackets, and I didn't have one of those. Okay, fantastic. You need a windbreaker in this world, don't you? Thank you, Tracy.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Keep your texts coming in. 9696, have you picked up the wrong bag? What was in it? Quite a few people. Little treats. We're talking about when you picked up the wrong bag. Maybe how did you find Have you picked up the wrong bag? What was in it? Quite a few people. Little treats. We're talking about when you picked up the wrong bag. Maybe how did you find out that you had the wrong bag? Such as a few people who have messaged in
Starting point is 00:43:13 who got quite a bit away from the airport. Jeepers. Into cars. Someone said, I picked up a bag, jumped in the car. My car, my seatbelt wouldn't, it was jammed and I was pulling it. So I turned around to look and I was like, hold a minute. Just another look at this end. This isn't my bag.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So I got out, almost drove away with somebody else's bag. It'd be the worst if it was like in your home city or town would be okay. Cause you'd still have stuff at home. How are you going to call these people? How are you going to get there? How are you going to be like, well, can you bring it back to me? A priest ended up with our 10 year old-old daughter's suitcase in Fiji. He'd look cute at church.
Starting point is 00:43:47 He would look very cute. And she would look very nice in her robes at the beach. Long, dark robes. Very formal. Good for sun protection though. Great. I've got an All Blacks bag. It was for sale at the warehouse so lots of people got them. I saw someone walking away with mine though and I knew it was mine because I could see my pack of darts through the mesh on the side
Starting point is 00:44:03 of it and I was absolutely dying for a dart. Bloody hell. A cigarette there. I got my bag, but when I opened it at home, there was an adult fun toy in the bag. Oh. I think give it a rip. And I thought, that's not my adult fun toy.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Not that they didn't have one, just that it wasn't theirs. So they called the airline and they got it all sorted out. Because you wouldn't want to talk to the actual person if they had their number on the bag. Yeah. Not if there was a fun toy in there. Hey, so mine's significantly bigger than that one. Alana, what happened?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Did you pick up the wrong bag? Not quite. So I had been in the States just before my son's fifth birthday and had a little bit of a shopping spree. Oh, good for you. Yeah, and I was like, that's weird. There's one bag on the conveyor belt. It looks nothing like mine.
Starting point is 00:44:56 And so I went up to the desk and was like, hey, this person's bag's still there and mine's not. And they managed to get hold of the person who said, well too bad, how sad, my bag wasn't there when I came out, so I took another bag and you're not getting it back. No, that's not how it works. That's not how it works. And they, so we had flown into
Starting point is 00:45:15 Auckland Airport. They had then gone home and it took 10 days for the airport to sort it out and we missed my son's birthday and I pleaded and cried and got given this person's number and cried and told them how much I needed the bag and they were like no, until the airport's delivered my bag
Starting point is 00:45:32 to my house, I'm not handing your bag over. Some people are psychopaths. Yeah, that's psychotic behaviour. Yeah, pretty much. Did you get it back with everything still in it? Yeah, we did. So I had God. Did you get it back with everything still in it? Yeah, we did. So I had to do an emergency dash for birthday presents.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Oh, my God. It's a bit hard to explain to a five-year-old that, hey, you have some presents. I just don't know where they are. Oh, my God. But, yeah, this person just didn't seem to understand that, like, I had no bag, not even their bag. So, like, they could hand over mine. Like, their bag was at the airport. You wait for it to come out. Yeah hand over mine. Their bag was at the airport. You wait for it to come out. Yeah, also
Starting point is 00:46:07 you don't work at the airport. It's not your fault. Oh my god, I'm so angry. I'm so angry. What was this person like? Were they a boomer? They're a bummer. I mean, when I rang them and I cried and I was like, it's my oldest baby's birthday and I need this.
Starting point is 00:46:24 They were just like, yeah, well I don't have my bag. And I was like, well, I oldest baby's birthday and I need this. And they were just like, yeah, well, like I don't have my bag. And I was like, well, I live in the Waikato. Your bag's in Auckland. You're in Auckland. Go get your bag. Give them my bag. I just can't believe the mindset of mine wasn't there when I walked out. So I just grabbed one.
Starting point is 00:46:38 That's insane. Yeah, and it was completely different. It was completely different. Yeah, like my bag was. Did anything happen to them? Like that's kind of, that's just theft, right? No. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:46:47 The airport were like, there's nothing we can do. They've got your bag. They're refusing to, like we can send someone out to pick your bag up and they're saying no, not until we have our bag. And they're like, but they won't come get their bag. You didn't wait for your bag. Yeah, and like their bag was your stock standard black suitcase. Mine was like purple because I had travelled to the States.
Starting point is 00:47:08 It was wrapped and it had a nice big pink ribbon on it so I knew which one was mine. Oh my gosh. I would have picked up their bag and driven around and then burnt their house down. Yeah, so I got my presents out. Once your bag was safe. I think it's fair.
Starting point is 00:47:24 That's fair. Tip for tat. Or shit on their lawn or something, you know was safe. I think it's fair. That's fair. Tit for tat. Or shit on their lawn or something, you know? Yeah, I think that's better, actually. It's not like arson or anything. It might be renting, and now you put a lot on the landlord. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:34 A lot on the landlord. They've got it so tough at the moment, haven't they? Alana, this has annoyed me greatly. I mean, but I'm glad you got your stuff back.

You just know that, do you? I follow very carefully the movements of Momoa. Is he coming back to New Zealand
Starting point is 00:48:25 any time? He is. We're now on the strikes over. Yeah, good for the New Zealand film industry.
Starting point is 00:48:31 And that's who I'm thinking of. Sure. That's who I'm, my thoughts are with them and getting production underway. Not your Hollywood
Starting point is 00:48:39 crush. No, but I am on a journey to health and I don't know if you noticed, but I've been getting pretty hot recently.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Anyway, yesterday, I've had this ear thing, haven't I, for like a couple of weeks. It was after our podcast recording, the Christmas cocktail special. I woke up with this gnarly sore throat, and then it kind of turned into this ear thing. Anyway, I wasn't allowed to take antibiotics because I was doing my colonoscopy, and I put it off. And yesterday the ear just went insane. And I got this seeping migraine down my neck and the back
Starting point is 00:49:10 of my head. And I'm not a headachy person at all. And I was taking painkillers as it wasn't working. And I said to Aaron, well the only answer could be like a very dangerous illness in which I'm going to die within the next couple of days. I said I've got to get my affairs in order. We still haven't done a will, even though we've owned homes before. We literally got the public trust will.
Starting point is 00:49:29 To do them for free, and I didn't utilise it. I know it was too late. Oh, my God. I did mine. I will say that my daughters are like daughters to you. I don't know. I think that they think I'm a bit full on. I mean, whoever gets old uncle moneybags over here
Starting point is 00:49:44 is obviously the winner of the day. Someone else is going to be limed to the huge mortgage and a half renovated villa. But they love you guys. They were always saying that. Do they? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And you don't have kids. It's got to go somewhere. Do they live in proximity as well? My parents are still alive and well. I'd happily just have my wealth go to them. Your debt? Is that not what wealth is? The opposite.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Anti-wealth. No, there's wealth, but mine just has a dash before it, like negative wealth. Yeah, yeah. Anti-wealth. Mine just has one of those lines. It's like an anti-hero is still a hero.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah. They're just not, you know. But the textbook. I'm a millionaire, but I've got that line before mine. You're not dying How good would it be if one day the bank was just like Whoops and the minus disappeared
Starting point is 00:50:32 Became a positive That happens to people and they go out and spend it And then they say pay it back And people are like I can't, I'll spend it I'll spend it And they'll be like well you're in prison now Anyway I was dying yesterday I know I'm not I'll spend it. And they'll be like, well, you're in prison now. Anyway, I was dying yesterday. I know I'm not dying today because it's sort of dissipated.
Starting point is 00:50:48 But I said yesterday, I need to get my affairs in order. He said, what do you mean? And I said, we're in order for my impending death, which is probably going to happen within the next 24 hours. And he said, don't say that. And I said, no, this is the highly likely cause. And he said, because you've got a headache. And I said, yes.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I said, Aaron, I am not a headachy woman. So when I get one, I have to take it seriously. It's got to be a tumor. It's got to be a tumor. And you know that I. It's not a tumor. I think it might be a tumor. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Are you doing Arnold Schwarzenegger? Yeah. Oh, I just expected better. Yeah, so did I. That's in the chopper. No. That's not a good. Do the famous I'll be back.
Starting point is 00:51:22 I'll be back. No. Not a female register. Yeah, no. If I spent $40,000, I'd want that to be back. I'll be back. No. Not a female register. Yeah, no, I would figure that. If I spent $40,000, I'd want that to be better. On an accident degree. Oh, no, I think I got a tumor. What?
Starting point is 00:51:33 A bit more gravel? No, why aren't you better at this? Who is your daddy? Quickly, who is your daddy? I feel like you're making ours even worse. You're dragging us towards you because you're the dominant force. This is insane. I'm a trained actress.
Starting point is 00:51:44 And your short leg is terrible. It's like Arnold is in the room. Oh, my God, I got a tumor. No. What is that? Hey, Arnold? That sounds more like. That's true.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Jess is spot on. What are you so bad at? How are you so? How are you very good? You're very good at. Okay, do a character. Do the tumor. Do the tumor line.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It's not a tumor. It's not a tumour. It's not a tumour. Mine's not great, but I feel so much better about mine. No, mine is spot on. You guys are well off with your tumour. Come with me if you want to live. Come with me if you want to live. That sounds like grow.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That sounds like grow for the minions. Tonight we're going to steal the moon! Anyway, how are you making light of my tumour? Anyway. Well, it certainly hasn't added anything to your own. I'm doing math because I've got a real tumour. It's amongst the worst I've heard. It surely can't be.
Starting point is 00:52:38 It is. I'm telling you, my dear friend. Oh, my gosh. Don't back yourself to do that. That was one whole year of my three-year degree. It was Arnie. It was Arnie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Dude, it's terrible. Ask for your money back. Somebody said it sounds like a sort of an Eastern European cookie monster. I'm hungry for cookies. Serious for cookies. I'm just really surprised I expected you to be better at it, Arnie Schwarzenegger. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I'm going to have to work on that, actually. Side thought. I've got a tumour. Anyway, I don't, but I said to him yesterday, and his immediate response was, instead of being like, oh, no, I'd be devastated, or like, oh, don't be silly. It's okay. He said, that's all right.
Starting point is 00:53:20 We'll sell the house. We'll spend all the money, and I'll take you to Thailand to die. Funny because the bank was telling me that if you sell your house, you'll have absolutely no money. Yeah. So reminding her equity wins. Remember that negative in front of the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I sell the incomplete house in a housing crisis.
Starting point is 00:53:40 You mean that that's not wiped? No. Fingers crossed that might be best case scenario. So it sounds like you're going to Eke Tahuna to die. No, I'm pretty sure he said we'd sell the house, we'd get all the money and he'd take me to Thailand to die. That's quite a nice
Starting point is 00:53:56 thought. Anyway, the response to it of him just being like, it's okay, we'll just give everything up and we'll go have a fun time and I'll take you to Thailand for a little rub. With a bang. Go with a bang, yeah. And then we go with a bang he's leaving, he turns and he says hasta la vista baby. And I say, how are we getting there? Are you
Starting point is 00:54:12 flying me business class? He says, no, get in the chopper. Get to the chopper. Oh my god, that is so terrible. How are you not better at that? Get in the chopper, baby. You gotta pull my... That's good enough for me. I went to a therapist yesterday.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Is this your first time? This is my first time going to a therapist. First time ever? Yeah, yeah, I've never been to a therapist. Oh, man. Yeah, I grow up around men who just pushed it down and then had hung-up problems. Don't push it down.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Why do I have hypotension? Why do I have extremely high blood pressure? That was weird. Yeah, that went off, didn't it? No more Arnie impressions on the show today. Yeah, we've done a peak. Because we've nailed it. Yeah, I just had a period earlier in the year
Starting point is 00:55:03 where I wasn't feeling great and couldn't put my finger on it. So what I did is I waited. Yeah. You tried the bottling and you were like, why isn't it working like it used to? I bottled it for a bit and then I was like, you know what? No.
Starting point is 00:55:16 And so I made an appointment and yesterday was my appointment to go and see a therapist and sat down and talked and took 20 minutes, basically told me I'm fine and everyone else is an effing idiot. Sorry. So it's always good to go to a doctorate. I just felt like that wasn't the wording. It's always good to go to a professional with two doctorates and sit down for half an hour and he's like, you're actually fine.
Starting point is 00:55:36 No, he just said there's a thing called seasonal affective disorder. Hell yeah. And I just got a bad this year. It was winter. It was wet. You're an outdoor man. I'm an outdoor man. And he said, you know, a lot of things are hereditary as well.
Starting point is 00:55:49 I come from literal lines of outdoor men who couldn't sit still and hate being inside. And that's not 100% me. I've weaned myself off a little bit. Love a good stint on the PlayStation. Love a PlayStation. Love a PlayStation. But yeah, the weather, he just said, and it was getting to everybody. He must have seen it a bit, I imagine,
Starting point is 00:56:06 the professionals. He said, for men, it's shocking. I wonder if there's, because there are trends, because I remember reading about after lockdown that you couldn't get an appointment for couples therapy because everyone came into lockdown
Starting point is 00:56:18 and was like, I've seen sides of you that I now know I hate. And so there were like trends of marriages needing to be unpacked after being locked up together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I imagine if our terrible summer this year, he'd be seeing a trend of people who are like,
Starting point is 00:56:31 why am I just not finding joy? Miserable. It was like, yeah, after the tough times of COVID and then bad weather it did, it was tough. But it was good. And yeah, it was just, I just had a chat and he got to the end. He's like, you're actually. You're all good. You're all good, mate. You're pretty balanced had a chat and he got to the end. He's like, you're actually. You're all good.
Starting point is 00:56:46 You're all good, mate. You're pretty balanced and stuff, but just try to get more. You know, the human body's need nine minutes of sunlight a day minimum. Jeepers. Minimum. And that's why when it was just raining nonstop all the time and people weren't getting it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:58 People's moods weren't great. He did have a couple of things to say about you guys. Because we were obviously, look, I've done multiple stints of therapy in the past and I was an advocate for this I was excited for you but I was slightly nervous that we were the problem There was something about me, I was like I want my friend to be happy but I also don't want me
Starting point is 00:57:16 to be the problem and then they're not allowed to hang out with me anymore What did he say? No, no, nothing, just yeah I asked if I liked work, I was He just, yeah, asked if, like, I liked work. I was like, yep, sure. And gave those sorts of short form answers. Yeah, it sounds like you really opened up.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Yeah, sure. It was impressive. 20 years we've been working together, Nick. Yeah. He said that's admirable that two men have worked together that long and still love each other, don't we? Yes, but it's because we haven't had sex. He quickly stepped away from that love.
Starting point is 00:57:47 He looked me in the eyes and said love and I was like, look away, look away. Love you too, man. Love you too, man. People aren't usually looking you in the eyes when they say they love you. Wow, that was a nice tender moment. And you just
Starting point is 00:58:04 absolutely... Wow, that was a nice tender moment. In the back of the head. And you just absolutely. Wow. It's a different kind of love. Yeah. But no, it was good. I don't need to go back. I'm good. It was basically the end of it.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Okay, right. In the end, I mentioned my parents like just in passing. And he was like, oh, and opened back up his book. Yep, here we go. But then was just like, shut it pretty quick. Because they were like, what are they like? I was like, oh, great. Are they still married?
Starting point is 00:58:27 Yeah. And they get on really well. Yeah. Classic. That is classic. It's a good timey little reminder though. Movember, it is all about, you know, checking in on your mental health. And especially men in particular.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I might get one of those Norwegian light windows for next winter. Oh, yeah, okay. You sit in front of a fake window. Dude, people do that in like really cold countries? Yeah, and he said there's a science behind it. It's good for you.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah. I can't see Sade liking it, although it will fit the Scandinavian aesthetic of our house. Very. Scandinavian. Very Scandi.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's Super Sense Week. Here at Fact of the Day, we're learning about animals on this planet with super senses, but only our five senses. Yeah. Not the sixth sense. What are the five?
Starting point is 00:59:27 Because Bruce Willis was dead all along. I was just about to watch it. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Touch, smell, sight, taste, hear. Yeah. Hearing. I just wanted to make sure.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Yep. Sound perception. Shout out to the cow Yeah Because cows Apparently have phenomenal taste They're not the widder But I just thought
Starting point is 00:59:51 It was interesting That an animal We kind of see everywhere And to be honest Tastes pretty good Yum Has good taste It's got two and a half times
Starting point is 00:59:59 The taste buds of humans 25,000 taste buds Their giant tongues You would have seen Their giant tongues Yeah big giant have seen their giant tongues. Yeah, big giant tongues. Sharp, raspy tongues. But all they're eating
Starting point is 01:00:07 is grass. Yeah. But it's so they can distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous plants for them. Imagine giving them their first Toblerone.
Starting point is 01:00:14 They'd lose their mind. Oh my God. Lose their mind. Imagine the first time they tried a perky nana. They'd go crazy. So they can perceive sweetness, saltiness,
Starting point is 01:00:24 bitterness, and acidity. Pringles. Everything. Got all of those. All in one. I could test this. I'll take a Pringle out to the cow. Take a Pringle to salt and vinegar.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I'll take a Waka Changi salt and vinegar out to the cow. Yeah, girl. Because I had a beer with my cow for his birthday with Humphrey, the steer. And he loved it. You had a beer with your cow? Yeah. It's a bond we will never understand did you tell the therapist that?
Starting point is 01:00:49 because he'd probably want to dig into that I reckon he'd dig into that I don't know if I ever shared a beer with my father and now I'm going to try to make the cow my father
Starting point is 01:00:57 yeah maybe you're spending a lot of time touching this cow and cuddling it yeah and asking him what he thinks of
Starting point is 01:01:04 my sporting prowess yeah are you proud of me? you and asking him what he thinks of my sporting prowess. Yeah, are you proud of me? You keep asking him, are you proud of me? Look, I won this award, are you proud of me? And then when he chews, it looks like he's nodding, and that's good enough for me. Yeah, right. I didn't ask much.
Starting point is 01:01:15 So cows can detect four primary tastes, and they have two and a half taste buds, two and a half times the taste buds of humans, but they're not the winner. They're not the winner. The winner has 100,000 taste buds, two and a half times the taste buds of humans, but they're not the winner. They're not the winner. The winner has 100,000 taste buds. At least. Some up to 175,000 taste buds.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Giraffes? Nope. Does it have a big tongue? Nope. Oh, that's where I was going with that. Is it a little mouse? Nope. Because they taste with their whiskers.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Cats? Not cats, but cat is in the title of the animal. Bobcat. No. Pussycat. Meerkat. Catfish. Oh.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Catfish. So catfish are called catfish because they have the whiskery bits out the front. Yeah. And for a long time they were thought to be because they live often in very muddy areas. Yeah. And inside holes, that was how big they'd dig their hole, like like a cat's whiskers or find their way around the mud which it does but also those long whiskers have an insane
Starting point is 01:02:10 amount of taste receptors how bizarre so they're called barbells they're awful people stick their arms into the holes and get them out it's called noodling yuck no thanks if they latch on you've got to quickly pull out People stick their arms into the holes and get them out. Yeah, it's called noodling. Yeah, noodling. Yuck.
Starting point is 01:02:25 No thanks. Yeah, if they latch on, you've got to quickly pull out. But if it's a really, really big one, it can hold you under. So you've got to always noodle with a partner. Yeah, always have a spotter. Always have a spotter when you're noodling. When you're doing the withdrawal method. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Get your arm in, latch on, rip it out, and then you've got yourself a catfish. So they can also tell Like direction of prey By like dissolved proteins In the water That's creepy So if they're like sitting there And then they're like Oh
Starting point is 01:02:53 It's like I guess when you're eating Back to the chips If you're eating chips And you drop crumbs And they were getting swept away By the wind They'd be like They'd taste it
Starting point is 01:03:02 Snack a changy Yeah And then they follow the source of it and they can find where food is by dissolved protein sources in the water. Go the catfish. Yeah, go the catfish. The winner of the Super Senses Week when it comes to taste. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Starting point is 01:03:43 You know me, I like colour in my house and I have been very vocal about that and I have eclectic tastes and I like to express myself through my home You've got a green and blue kitchen Green and blue kitchen We've got pink glasses We've got antique furniture We've got taxidermy
Starting point is 01:03:56 I love it So this is why this has upset me greatly There is a woman who is a spark debate online because she got a new boyfriend and she went a new boyfriend and she went to his apartment and was like, I'm going to give this a facelift.
Starting point is 01:04:12 And then I saw the after and I thought it was the before because the before was really cool. He's got a cool like vintage print on the wall. He's got textured like lime wash walls. He's got a yellow thing and kind of a pink light above the thing. It's cool. It's thunk. He's expressing himself and she's made it look like a bloody
Starting point is 01:04:26 distinction holiday. Like a hotel kitchenette. Yeah. I mean, that's nothing, that's not bad when you go to a holiday inn or any hotel. Not at all, but he's clearly got a style for himself
Starting point is 01:04:42 and she's gone in and basically, like, whitewashed the thing. Yeah. And gone like, but muted tones are in. And you're like well clearly not for him, he didn't want that. Anyway, I'm upset as a woman who loves colour in her home. Yeah. But people are also like, why did you feel the need to go in and change this
Starting point is 01:04:57 part about your partner? You don't live in this house. I know there's a conversation when you move in together. How are we combining aesthetics? Yeah. But early on in a relationship to be like in together. How are we combining aesthetics? But early on in a relationship to be like, I'm remodeling your kitchen. Yeah, what you've done here, I'm going to change this about you. Did she spend money?
Starting point is 01:05:14 Was money spent? Whose money was spent? I'm not clear on that, but like there's an old light and then there's a new light and she's put like a ceiling rose. The curtains have been changed. There's a old lie and then there's a new lie and she's put like a ceiling rose. The curtains have been changed. There's a different couch. She's definitely dropped a few grand on this.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whether it's his money or hers, I don't know. But it's not as good. It's just interesting to get into someone's life and start changing them, which is what I want to talk about. Isn't that what women love to do though? We love a make-up.
Starting point is 01:05:44 We love a reno project. Yeah, you're like Queer Eye. You just want to talk about. Isn't that what women love to do, though? We love a make-up. We love a reno project.

We love to update a wardrobe. Although sometimes it is good that guys move away from satin boxes, you know?
Starting point is 01:06:09 Yeah. There's a time. There's a time. There's a time. That's in your teenage years, right? Right at the end of the teenage years. Yeah. In the end of your 20s, you want more of a supportive.
Starting point is 01:06:17 You want to support your junk. Yeah. You've got to keep it up because it's really going to start making its way down the leg. So the more you can keep it, hold it up. It's like a bra. It's like a good bra. Yeah. You know, we're all going south one way or another.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah. I want to know what was the thing. It could be big or it could be small that you changed about your partner. Or maybe you were on the receiving end of a makeover of sorts. Whether it was just a fashion update or maybe you changed their whole political views. At the time, did you change your girlfriend's car? Because she had a girl racer car. You made her buy a sensible car.
Starting point is 01:06:53 She had a turbo GSR Lancer. That thing was a rocket. But it was more just the cost of it. Like the insurance and the gas and everything was crazy. It was like, how much do you actually care about this for the cost of it? Yeah. And then, yeah, we got a more sensible car. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:08 I believe we got a Subaru wagon. You straightened it right out. It was not turboed. Yeah, right. Oh, that's what people say. Shardé gave me the makeover. But let's not forget, she was in the doldrums of being a big Hamilton girl there. The promo vibe.

There was a girl who got a new boyfriend, went to his apartment and totally like kind of calmed it all down.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Like, yeah. And baged it up a bit. Really baged. And everyone was like, okay, but we want to know what you changed about your partner when you got in a relationship with them or what was changed about you. Now, Sarah, we teased this before the break, but was it a month of meeting your partner? Yep, that's about right.
Starting point is 01:09:35 He got surgery? Wow. How bad was the nose? Real tongue-breaker. He had this mole on the very point of his chin and it was one of those real sticky-outy moles. And, nah, it just was not it.
Starting point is 01:09:52 So, chop-chop. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I assumed when I was like whining, when I was teasing before, I was like, there'll be a reason for this. It might have been a danger or, you know, you might have been like, oh, heck, you want to get that removed for safety. You were just like, ooh yuck, have that removed. Mole, mole, mole.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mole, mole, mole, mole, mole, mole. Some damage, melanoma and all of that sort of stuff, but also like... Bullshit. Yeah, yeah, right. Now she's trying to make herself seem like a patron saint of skincare. She's not, she was just like, get rid of it. So this mole was just a bit of an eyesore?
Starting point is 01:10:27 Yeah, yeah. It was just, yeah, it was quite large and yeah, it sort of stuck out. The hair growing out of it, was the hair that grew out of it different? No, thank goodness. Oh, you and people with hair growing out of it. I've got hairs out of my moles on my arms.
Starting point is 01:10:39 It's a sign of a healthy mole. No, no, no, you're fine. Are you still with this moley man? We have got our 16-year wedding anniversary. Yay! It all worked out. It all worked out. She's done up the villa.
Starting point is 01:10:51 All worked out in the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's done up the villa. He's had things chopped out of him since then as well. Right. See, it wasn't standing. That was a weird laugh. His sperm track, has that been chopped out yet?
Starting point is 01:11:03 Sarah, thank you for your call. Let's go to Taylor. Taylor, what did you have to fix up when you got into a relationship? So my now husband, first night that we spent together about eight years ago, this man tried to go to bed with jeans on. What? Yeah. What?
Starting point is 01:11:21 And apparently this is how he had just been sleeping for years with his jeans on. Wait, did he grow up or live? I've slept in jeans like once. It's so uncomfortable. I understand you pass out in jeans. No, I went home with someone and they realised I had really hairy legs and didn't want to sleep next to them, so I put my jeans back on.
Starting point is 01:11:38 That's weirder. Just be here and have hairy legs. He acknowledged it was the weirdest move. I understand that. That's weird. But it was a very uncomfortable sleep as well. So were you like, Han, take these jeans off? Yeah, I was just like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:11:51 He's like, oh, I'm going to bed. I'm like, with jeans on? He's like, yeah, this is how I always sleep. I'm like, that is so weird. That is so weird. Yeah, and that's just how he'd been sleeping for years upon years. And it changed that night. Never gone back. Never gone back.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Never gone back. Was it because he had a cold house? No, because I lived in that house with him for like a month prior. Oh, yeah, flatmate hookups. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good for you, good for you. Yeah, yeah. Flatmates before we were together.
Starting point is 01:12:20 But no, it wasn't a cold house. We had a mean fire. No, he just slept with his jeans on. That is so bizarre. If it's cold, you sleep in track pants. Yeah. You didn't a cold house. Like, we had a mean fire. Like, no, he just, he'd sleep with his jeans on. That is so bizarre. You burn if it's cold. You sleep in track pants. Yeah. You can sleep in jeans.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Or pyjamas. Or pop on a long john. Yeah, get some flannel pyjamas. Yeah. Amazing. Thank you, Taylor. See, that's a good, that's a good reno. Yeah, keep your texts coming at 9696 0800 dials at M.
Starting point is 01:12:40 What did you change about your partner? We're just, we're just a country of renovators, aren't we? We want to know what you changed about your partner when you got together with them. A woman did her whole new boyfriend's kitchen and the internet's like gross. Her whole apartment. Everyone's like, oh, you made it so much worse.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Joe, what happened? So this is something my partner changed for me or helped me get over a fear. I refused to eat food that I couldn't pronounce. Oh, no. And I've been doing it for like eight years only because a waitress asked for my order and I asked for chicken fajitas.
Starting point is 01:13:19 As someone that always... Not knowing it's pronounced fajitas. The rule is if you order a sizzling fajita platter, you have to say, can I please have the sizzling vagina platter? You have to make it sound as much like vagina without saying vagina as you can and keep it perfectly straight laced.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Yeah. And you have to eyeball the waitress or waiter as you are. And you say, I like my vaginas spicy. Yeah. You've got to say that. The vagina has got to come out steamy. We have been doing that for years and it never gets old.
Starting point is 01:13:45 It's great. We love ordering a fish pate. We order the pate at our local. The joke is always to say I need the pate. Are there any other dishes that you've branched out to say now? Well, I now eat things that have quinoa in it because I didn't know what it was. A lot of people have been saying quinoa for a long time.
Starting point is 01:14:08 If we go to a restaurant, I'd look at the ingredients. If I don't know what it is and I can't pronounce it, I'm like, I'll just get the burger and fries. Or just be like that one and point to it when they come around. Joe, thank you for your call.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Caitlin, what was the makeover? The minimum, really. Just use the top sheet. Do you know, it's weird, eh? I'm a top sheeter. And how often are you washing your duvet? Not as often as you wash your top sheet.
Starting point is 01:14:38 No. Scaringly, like, not often. Yeah. People that don't use a top sheet, monsters. The top sheet is the absorbent layer. It protects your gross body and the duvet. It's just absorbing sweat and yuck. Yeah, I think that's a good reno, actually.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Good on you. I'm on your side on that one. Janie, this is your husband. What did you have to reno with him? So I caught him going to the toilet once and he was standing up wiping his bottom. Standing up. He's got it in his head.
Starting point is 01:15:13 He's got it in his head, Jamie. This is how Vaughn and I wipe our bottom. Jamie, I found out only last month or so that these two men in front of me stand to wipe their bottoms too. Yeah, we stand to wipers, Janie. In which the action is you're closing the bottom. No, you give it a pop. You give it a pop, don't you?
Starting point is 01:15:32 You pull it. You use the other hand to pull it open. Oh, for God's sake, Janie. Right, you just reach back here. Yeah, dude. How did you train your now hubby to do that? I probably just shamed him about it and said it's really weird. And so from now on, he sits down and wipes his...
Starting point is 01:15:49 Because it's nice and open. My wife said the same thing after... It's that finger, Hayley. Exactly. I know. I honestly think I've been married for 11 or 12 years when Sade found out I stood to wipe. And she tried to embarrass me into doing it.
Starting point is 01:16:00 But now I just ask her to... I said, shut that door or leave the room. I started to wipe my body. Yeah, it's your time to wipe your body. I won't be shamed of the way I wipe my body. That's good. Thank you, Janie. You're doing the Lord's work.
Starting point is 01:16:10 The message is in to finish. When I met my husband, he had an earring. I hated it. I wasn't going to do anything about it. Was it the gay year? Was it in the gay year? Was it in the right year? I hope not.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Unless this is a man messaging in. Of course, you would hope it was in the gay year. Or there'd been some miscommunication. We jest. Of course we jest. Of course, you would hope it wasn't the gay year or there'd been some miscommunication. We jest. Of course we jest. About three months into the relationship, he had to have surgery
Starting point is 01:16:31 and he had to remove all jewellery. He only had the earring. He gave it to me and then afterwards, he said, oh, have you got my earring? And I said,
Starting point is 01:16:37 oh, shit, I lost it. I threw it away. He never bothered to replace it and it just closed over. Yes. I wonder if that he's ever known.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Manipulative, yeah. Yeah. One of my best mates always had an unusual sense of dress and then he started seeing a woman a little while down the track.
Starting point is 01:16:51 She started dressing him and he started dressing like pretty good. It was at that stage we found out he was colourblind. Oh. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:16:59 He just never told us. We'd never asked. We just thought he liked dressing in unusual combinations. Okay. Amazing. I'm Indian. Not me. The person who texted me just in case there was us we'd never asked we just thought he liked dressing and unusual combinations amazing i'm indian not me the person who texts me just in case there was any confusion in studio that i was indian yeah oh nice to meet you i'm thai i'm indian and he had really bland taste buds he had to learn to cook with onions oh my god he doesn't cook with onions
Starting point is 01:17:23 it's the first thing you put in. It's the first, that and garlic. Yep. And a hot pan with some oil. Some ginger. That gets it going.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Everybody walks in, they're like, what are you cooking? It smells great. And that's just onions and garlic. And eats strong curries. He was also lactose intolerant, but I was not giving up
Starting point is 01:17:38 cheese or ice cream. So we introduced lactese tablets. Yes, I've got a couple of friends that take these when we go out for dinner and we all order pizza and cheesy things.
Starting point is 01:17:48 And then they eat the Lactease. They have to eat the Lactease. Otherwise they shit themselves, I think. Something like that. I stop my partner dressing like Jerry Seinfeld. Jeans and sneakers. Although that's cool again. Yeah, she said not the cool sneakers.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Oh, right, okay. Not the cool sneakers. Wow. Yeah. Quite a few people saying within two weeks of dating me, my vegan partner turned back to eating the meat. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:11 The smell of it back in the house, right? Can't beat a good sauce, can you? Can't beat a sauce on a good day. Oh, yum. I encouraged my wife to embrace her curly hair instead of straightening it all the time. Yeah. So much hotter.
Starting point is 01:18:24 How did you do it? You've seen Sade when she has the wavy hair. Yeah. No, I actually haven't. Goddamn princess. Yeah. And then she straightens
Starting point is 01:18:31 it every day. I'm like, let it go. She goes, it goes to Afro. It doesn't. It's great. I think when she was a Red Bull girl,
Starting point is 01:18:38 they said no curls. They made her straighten it. The straightening was all the style. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she was out there driving around
Starting point is 01:18:43 in that convertible mini with that huge un-aerodynamic can on the back. Yeah. But don't say yeah like you know. You were in the back room. You were in the back office in the Mingers corner. Typing in the Mingers corner. Say it again.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Red Bull gives you wings. Not this Minger. She's no angel. You know I like it. Shivers, guys. 10 out of 10 podcast. That one. Yeah. I think two of us. 10 out of 10 podcast, that one. Yeah. I think two of us were 10 out of 10 and one of us wasn't.
