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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
How have we not been
Introduced
I don't know
My godfather is
Uncle Murray
And he has a combi van
Yeah
Oh shoot
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.
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I deleted that thing, Jared.
No, you deleted.
Have you been doing it?
The top six intro.
You've been having a fiddle, have you?
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
I read a story that people aren't washing their hair anymore.
People are waiting 36 days to wash their hair.
36?
Yeah.
Who knows?
My hair, I haven't washed for two days, and it's ready.
But I've got very thin and fine hair.
As you know, I'm a ball brother.
Ball dang brother. But like
a week. Max,
please.
Nah, people are trying to do that hair training
thing where you wash it every... Oh, and you get the self
oils going. Yeah, yeah, and all the
stuff and natural and...
That's too short. Probably don't want parabens
and...
Parabens. Parabens.
Today's top six is the top six things people are doing in the shower instead of washing their hair.
Number six on the list,
remembering something they said to someone 20 years ago.
I feel so immediately triggered by that.
Or something you said 20 years ago.
Say it out loud and the minute it comes out of your mouth,
you're like, oh, I'm going to be thinking about that for 20 years.
Oh yeah, wow,
that moment's going to...
Cool, yeah,
that's going to haunt me.
It's going to move on,
you know.
Number five on the list
of the top six things
people are doing
in the shower
instead of washing their hair.
Imagining what they might say
if they met
their favourite celebrity.
Oh yeah, okay.
To try and what?
Impress them
and become best friends.
With that or just
to flatter them
or to let them know
what they think of them.
And then you look down and you see you're nude and you're like,
man, I hope I'm not nude when I meet Jessica Alba.
Jessica Alba.
I hope Freddie Mercury doesn't have to stare at my bush.
What would he make of the bush?
He's both alive and somehow in your shower.
Yeah, I know.
And I'm somehow dead.
Yeah.
Although he was in the era when it was all about the bush.
He was a big bush boy.
So that wouldn't be him.
I imagine Freddie had a bush.
Yeah, it wouldn't be an issue for him.
He would have had a bush.
Oh, Freddie had a big bush.
Yeah.
Big bush.
Big bush.
Big bush boy.
Number four on the list of the top six things people are doing in the shower instead of
washing their hair.
Pointing the shower head at their genitals.
For pleasure or...
Sure. You want to be careful though because... instead of washing their hair, pointing the showerhead at their genitals for pleasure or...
Sure.
You want to be careful, though, because... Well, they say it's self-cleansing,
but you've got to give it a bit of a hand.
Yeah, you've got to wash the outside.
Yeah, yeah.
You want to be careful, though, if you're a lad
and you've got a high pressure and a rogue beam.
Yeah.
You don't want to hit that cord in the sack.
You don't want to hit the seam.
It'll drop you.
It'll absolutely drop you.
What are you, showering with a water blaster?
Sometimes.
Some shower heads
are not appropriate
for a removable experience.
Right, okay.
Number three on the list
of the top six things
people are doing in the shower
instead of washing their hair
are drawing on the foggy glass
with their nose.
So I wonder what I can draw
with my nose.
I wonder if I can write my name.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak, my name. Squeak, squeak, squeak. It's Vaughn. Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
I wrote Vaughn.
That was actually me.
There's a lot of letters in this name for a short name.
Acting out me writing my name on the glass with my nose.
Number two on the list is of the top six things people are doing in the shower instead of washing their hair.
I'm wondering what a paraben is and why shampoos don't have them anymore like the good old days. And number one on the list of the top six things people are doing in the shower instead of washing their hair, I'm wondering what a paraben is and why shampoos don't have them anymore like the good old days.
And number one on the list of the top six things people are doing in the shower
instead of washing their hair, getting it on.
Yeah.
Getting it on.
Oh, yeah.
Getting it on with themselves.
Guys, don't do that, please.
They've got no idea of the effect you're having on the plumbing.
Or getting it on with their partner.
Nice.
What you're going is problematic for the plumbing, but I mean,
that's a problem.
That's a problem shared,
you know.
I knew you'd go there.
I thought you were going
to keep that really clean.
Keep it clean.
And you didn't.
Keep it clean.
Keep it clean.
That's the top six.
19 past six.
Next day,
dating expert
has shared
the dangers
of the text.
Or iMessage. That's me. I've still got the noises on my text. Or iMessage.
That's me.
I've still got the noises on my text.
Or Messenger.
Any message.
Yep, that's right.
I'll tell you why next.
Now, I say this unironically.
I'm going to pivot.
Yes.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
I know you walked in uncomfortable.
That is my second poo this morning.
You're ruining a beautiful moment because Matt LeBlanc has finally posted
about the passing of Matthew Perry.
Oh, Matthew Perry.
Yeah, now there's all these photos of Joey and Chandler.
How he doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's not doing good.
His friend died.
Oh, okay.
So Matthew, he says.
Now's not the time for it.
Can we not?
Oh, how are you doing? No poo, Chandler, no it. Can we not... Oh, how are you doing?
Come on!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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...
Oh, okay.
Stubble on stubble.
Oh, goodness. Stubble on stubble. Oh, goodness.
Stubble on stubble.
Like a friction.
Yeah.
You sound very close.
Yeah.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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,
which I imagine just goes beta next, right?
A, B.
Yeah, Alpha's been A.
Gen Betty.
Betty.
Gen B.
I can't believe.
I'm a little Gen B.
I can't believe I'm having to Google.
Okay, test us.
So it gives you a list of them, but doesn't tell you what that means.
Yeah.
So you're having to do your own research.
I'm kind of doing, I'm doing multiple tabs here.
Okay, okay, multiple tabs.
Okay.
I feel like, Vaughn, you're going to fly through all of these.
You're going to know.
You're going to know.
What is a yacht?
Like a yacht, but a g-yacht.
Yeah, G-Y-A-T.

Nope.

Phantom tax

Phantom tax
Phantom tax
Is it like when someone has chips
Like phantom tax
Like a dad tax
You got it
Right
Now apparently there's a YouTuber or a TikToker
Phantom who
One of his rules is if someone's got food, you're allowed to take it.
So when you take something, you Phantom tax.
That's dad tax.
It's always been known as dad tax to me.
Or if you go and get the takeaways, you get a couple of nugs and chips.
Oh, hells yes.
That's dad tax.
Driver's tax.
Driver's tax, yep.
Okay, Rizzler.
Well, Rizz is like charisma, like charm.
Yeah.
So you're a charmer?
I think you're a charmer.
Good boys.
Good boys.
My good boys.
Couple Rizlas right in front of me here.
Yeah, I only know that because of Vaughan's kids.
Rizla is someone who is not only efficient,
but a professional at picking people up with their Riz.
Being like the guy who goes home and goes,
yeah, like you say, these are kids.
Who's picking up chicks?
The riz.
The rizler.
That Thomas, he's a real rizler.
Somebody said their 14-year-old is laughing at us.
Oh, shut up.
We'll kick them out of the car.
I assume you're in the car.
Boot them out.
Find their own place.
Don't worry, they're never going to be able to afford a house.
Smack them one last time.
How old were you when the last time you got smacked? I reckon I would have been 14. Yeah, just smack them. They're never going to be able to afford a house. Smack them one last time. How old were you when the last time you got smacked?
I reckon I would have been 14.
Yeah, just smack them.
That'll show them.
My dad would have smacked me at 14.
Smack them.
Okay, bet.
You know that one?
Oh, yeah, that's...
But I thought that would have been more...
Not a gambling term.
Yeah, bet, but that's like...
Yeah, bet.
That's not Gen Alpha.
That's like millennial as well, right?
Guaranteed.
Yeah, bet.
Is that a guarantee?
Yeah.
Like, hey, do you want to go get Rubens after the show?
Bet.
It's not the Black Entertainment Television Network.
It's not the BET.
No.
Okay.
Those are the main ones.
The skibbity has really thrown me.
Skibbity is ridiculous.
It has really got me stumped here.
Has that listener smacked their kid yet?
They haven't messaged back.
They might be busy smacking.
Did we have
Did I do Sigma?
Was it a Mitsubishi
Sigma from the 90s
or 2000s? Is it a car?
Yeah, Mitsubishi Sigma was a beautiful wagon.
Yeah, beautiful wagon. I think thing, I think at the end
they got those rounded backs on the top.
Sigma is like, Sigma
it's like suck my
isn't it? No, it's not.
It's like, no way.
No, no, no. Oh, isn't it? A Sigma is
a
popular or successful
or highly independent, self-reliant
man.
A Sigma.
Oh, no, okay.
That Fletch is a real Sigma with a rizzling gat.
No.
Gat.
Skibbity.
Oh, God.
Okay.
That gat is rizzling.
Yeah.
Sigma. Someone said I'm driving.
I can't smack them, but I'll do it when he gets home.
Yeah, I reckon when you get home, send them to their room,
take away their iPads.
That'll teach them for being young.
Enough of life, guys.
Yeah, that'll teach them.
Yeah.
Why are you grounded?
I laughed at these people on the radio.
These old men.
Tell them they're not allowed to go to the malt bar with their chums.
You know, that sort of real modern day punishment. They can't go to the malt bar with their chums. You know, that sort of like real modern day punishment.
They can't go to Hookup Point.
Yeah.
With their malt milkshakes.
Yeah, and if they think they go to the homecoming dance,
they've got another thing coming.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Ho, ho, ho.
Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Ho, ho, ho.
39 days, 16 hours and 42 minutes until Christmas.
Okay, it's getting silly.
I'm going to get a tree.
I'm going to get a tree.
It's getting close.
We've had reports, international reports of Christmas.
Roxanne.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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%!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
they make more than
one of these
suitcases.
Yeah.
Look the same.
They do.
Have you picked up
somebody else's bag
by mistake?
What happened?
Did you get it
home and realise?
Was there something
cool in there?
Was there something
cool or was it
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have we done a caller of the week?
We haven't done a caller.
Let's give it to Alana, please.
Thank you, Alana, for going through that
and having to deal with a human being that's that horrible. Yeah, you're our caller of the week? We haven't done a caller. Let's give it to Alana, please. Thank you, Alana, for going through that and having to deal with a human being that's that horrible.
Yeah, you're our caller of the week, Alana.
Congratulations.
A $50 McCafe voucher from our friends at McCafe.
Well done.
Thank you.
Excellent.
Oh, and make sure some other bastard doesn't come and take your voucher
and then say, well, I didn't get a voucher.
I'm going to hold on to your voucher until I get my own voucher.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Well, I didn't get a voucher. I'm going to hold on to your voucher until I get my own voucher.
Tate McRae is doing SNL with Jason Momoa this weekend.
She's the musical guest.
Jason Momoa is the host.
You just know that, do you?
I follow very carefully the movements of Momoa. Is he coming back to New Zealand
any time?
He is.
We're now on the
strikes over.
Yeah,
good for the
New Zealand film
industry.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yeah.
I can't see Sade liking it,
although it will fit
the Scandinavian aesthetic
of our house.
Very.
Scandinavian.
Very Scandi.
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?
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.
Yep.
Sound perception.
Shout out to the cow
Yeah
Because cows
Apparently have phenomenal taste
They're not the widder
But I just thought
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
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
is grass.
Yeah.
But it's so they can
distinguish between
poisonous and non-poisonous
plants for them.
Imagine giving them
their first Toblerone.
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,
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.
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?
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
yeah
maybe
you're spending a lot of time
touching this cow
and cuddling it
yeah
and asking him
what he thinks of
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.
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.
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.
Cats?
Not cats, but cat is in the title of the animal.
Bobcat.
No.
Pussycat.
Meerkat.
Catfish.
Oh.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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. Yeah, you're like Queer Eye.
You just love to come in.
Yeah.
My type is renovator's dream.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I just love to come in and be like,
oh, you're a mess, mate.
Let me sort this right out.
But, you know, like people do come in
and they change things,
be it a small thing like a beard change
or a wardrobe.
We love to update a wardrobe.
Although sometimes it is good that guys move away from satin boxes, you know?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Or she was.
She was working for Expo Gold at the time of meeting.
Yeah.
When she moved to Auckland, she took up the Red Bull girl mantle.
Yes.
So, you know.
Yeah.
Step in the right direction there.
That's an honour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Slowly wound her off promos.
Every now and then she still will want to give things out to people.
Because they actually dance.
Out of a chilly look.
Yeah.
She loves getting you a drink.
She loves it.
It's Red Bull Girl training
have you tried one of these
refreshing
and I'm always like
I'll just have it
yeah
and then she'll be like
one more one more
and then people just think
she likes drinking
but it's actually
her training
the promo girl
she was so hot
they'd let her out
in their Red Bull Mini
you did
yeah
that's how hot
that's a compliment
I wasn't marrying
a bloody office girl
I wasn't marrying a Red office girl I wasn't marrying
A Red Bull
You know
Manager
Yeah
Because did you
They just had you
In the back office
At Red Bull eh
Yeah it was weird
I was doing like
This sort of
You know
Stop taking
Didn't they always
Put helmets on you
And try to get you
To do the stunts
They made me
Be the Red Bull can
Yeah
It was weird
Are you calling me ugly
Because you know
I like that
I only do it
because I know you like it.
A little something
from daddy.
A little something
from daddy to you.
You don't even look
at this face.
I don't want to look
at that face.
We want to take some calls.

What did you change
about your partner?
Or were you on
the receiving end
of a dramatic change when you got with someone?
You got into this relationship, you're like, this needs
to change. Someone messaged in
a little tease for the listener to stay
with us. Within a
month, they made their now husband get
surgery. Within a month of
them starting seeing each other.
Okay, we'll get to that next. Well, the internet
is aghast. I'll say aghast.
Someone said, sis, he had style before was so cute.
He had so much character.
What have you done?
There was a girl who got a new boyfriend, went to his apartment and totally like kind of calmed it all down.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
they said no curls.
They made her straighten it.
The straightening
was all the style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, she was out there
driving around
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.
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.
Or who was that?
Which one?
We'll just leave that.
We'll just leave that there.
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rating and review.
