Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. Feeling good, feeling fine. Feeling bloody good. I'm actually online shopping already. It's 6.02.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Are you? Mm. What are you buying today? Well, at least you're buying it and not shoplifting it. Well, that's why I'm on the website. What? I'm on Creative Works because I've actually bought a dress from there. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Yeah, right. And then it reminded me that I like this shop. Yeah, right. So it's actually been good for business, this alleged shoplifting. So what you're telling us, an alleged shoplift from an MP that is high profile news is the sort of advertising money can't buy. I need to, yeah, it's the advertising, it's hooked me
Starting point is 00:00:52 because I went, what's that shop? I've shopped there before, I love this store. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. I'll make up for the wrongs. Oh! Anyway. Coming up on the show, the top six. Vaughan, what have you got today? Well, yesterday Oh, anyway. Coming up on the show, the top six.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Vaughan, what have you got today? Well, yesterday, the official ceremony happened in Denmark for the new king and queen. Why is this such a big... The queen abdicated. Why is it a big deal? It's a royal family. Even in Denmark. I always forget that there are heaps of European countries
Starting point is 00:01:23 have kings and queens. The Netherlands do, don't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do. Does Spain still have one? Or did that poo-poo after the revolution? Yeah, I don't know. The Inquisition. Nah, I don't think that Spain does have one.
Starting point is 00:01:37 That doesn't sound right, eh? Family. The monarchy of Spain or Spanish monarchy is the... No, I don't believe they do. Nah. I feel like if there was a monarchy in Spain or Spanish monarchy is the... No, I don't believe they do. Nah. I feel like if there was a monarchy in Spain, they'd be hot. So hot. Like young and hot.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I thought it said Queen Latifah, but it's Queen Leticia. They do have a royal family. If Queen Latifah was the Queen of Spain, it would be a hilarious movie. Yes, it would be. About a sort of a fish out of water situation. Yes, and somehow Steve Martin's in it. It would be mad not
Starting point is 00:02:10 to have Steve Martin in it. Of course he is. The man is a treasure. It's headed by King Philippe V1. What's V1? Version 1. 6. Yeah, version 1.0.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I thought they were always Philippe. That's why the Philippines are called the Philippines. Because they were invaded by Spain. Yeah, colonized them. Invaded, colonized. Leticia is the name.
Starting point is 00:02:31 That's my nana's name. It's spelled L-E-T-I-Z-I-A. Oh, no, that's not her. No, it's not Queen Leticia. It's not my nana, I think. Well, the new queen of Denmark is an Aussie. She was born in Hobart. They met when he was in Australia at a bar.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Oh. Yeah, nanda. Now, despite... Caitlyn Jenner. Oh, jeepish. She does look like Caitlyn Jenner. Who looks like Caitlyn Jenner? The queen of Spain.
Starting point is 00:02:55 The queen of Spain. Queen Latifah. She looks like Caitlyn Jenner. Tell me that doesn't look like Caitlyn Jenner. You've got your glasses on. Yeah, I can see through. It doesn't mean I can see through your microphone. You're holding it up.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Why aren't you using your X-ray vision, Clark Kent? Those are what they are, the glasses. They're Clark Kent. They're the disguise. Oh, so he can see under your clothing. You're looking at my boobs. Anyway, the Queen of Spain is an Aussie, so I've got the top six signs that the Queen of, not the Queen of Spain, the Queen of Denmark is an Aussie So I've got the top six signs That the Queen of
Starting point is 00:03:25 Not the Queen of Spain The Queen of Denmark was an Aussie all along Wow Yeah Well that's what you've got But up next I've got An apology You're apologising soon
Starting point is 00:03:35 Why? For your alien news a few weeks back Or last year You've got a correction to make I have a correction to make But I also have more evidence of alien life Oh okay Stay tuned However next I've got a correction to make. I have a correction to make, but I also have more evidence of alien life. Oh, okay. Stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:03:46 However, next I've got some scientific insights for people who sniff themselves, like I do. Don't we all sniff ourselves? I'm a big sniffer. I'm a big sniffer. If you want to sniff how clean your hands are, you're just like... If you want to sniff any part,
Starting point is 00:04:02 you put your hand in it and then you slowly move it to your mouth, you see it to your nose, you know, subtly sniff it. We all sniff ourselves. If I'm by myself, I don't even bother with subtly. I'll be like, strange, sniff. Straight into the balls and into the nose.
Starting point is 00:04:19 No, to the, yeah, the, well, yeah. More gently, even when you're by yourself. That's embarrassing. We'll dive into self-sniffing. It's disgusting that you're you're by yourself. That's embarrassing. We'll dive into self-sniffing. You're doing that to yourself. Great things are brewing. Now, I have always been afraid of smelling. You know when you smell something or someone, your first instinct is,
Starting point is 00:04:39 oh my God, is it me? I don't want to ever smell any part of my body. I don't want it to smell. I don't want stinky junk. I don't want stinky pits. I don't want stinky pits. I don't want stinky breath. I recently had to tell my mother, not that she smelled, but we were talking about this, and I said,
Starting point is 00:04:54 people who smell cannot smell themselves. And she's like, no, they simply must. I know. I was like, no, they can't. Otherwise, they would be dealing with it. People don't. No one is like, I'm happy to stink. Unless you've been like, if Aaron's does it sometimes,
Starting point is 00:05:07 or if we had a big sweaty day in the house, working in the yard, the company would be like, man, sorry, I absolutely stink. Exactly, but you are aware of it, so you apologise for it. Some people can't be, because they simply can't smell themselves. You smell some people at the gym and you're like, why didn't you use, can you not smell this? I know, I know. Or like people with halitosis,
Starting point is 00:05:25 like terrible, like chronic bad breath. Such a fear of mine. I'm like, oh my God, just tell me if I'm a halitosis person. Am I a halitosis person? No. What? I've got rank gums.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Do I have rank gums? Remember who Dentist was in touch with us personally and said not to bring that up. That's right, that's right. He's working on it behind the scenes. He's really doing it as much as he can back there. It's very nerve wracking.
Starting point is 00:05:47 We don't stink, do we? No, you're not stinky. You're not stinky people. You don't have stinky feet. You don't have stinky anythings. Great. And we work out together. I would say.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I would say. Well, there's been a study that looks into self-sniffing. As a race, as a human race, we've got a lot of time on our hands to be looking into self-sniffing. Have you ever, as a human race, we've got a lot of time on our hands to be looking into self-sniffing.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Have you ever, and be honest, like given your butt a scratch and then sniffed it? What? Yeah. 100%. But you do it, you scratch the butt and then you leave it on your fingers for a bit and you sort of engage in the conversation and then you're like, I'll go to it, she knows.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Does it quick. Yep. What a poo, that stinks. There's something about smelling your own body that's kind of addicting. Well, this study has sort of released its five insights into self-sniffing. One, the hands are the most
Starting point is 00:06:38 commonly self-sniffed body part, but I think only if they've touched another bit. Because the apparatus that gets you to the armpit. To the crack of the balls. Yeah. That gets you to the armpit. Yeah, yeah. You can't directly sniff your own anus. You've got to use a sort of vessel. It's not possible for us to sniff our genitals.
Starting point is 00:06:54 It's not. It's not. Sort of an olfactory delivery service. Yes, it is. So the hands are the most commonly self-sniffed body part, followed by armpits, hair, feet, and breath. Oh, yeah. But again, you're using the hand.
Starting point is 00:07:06 You smell your feet a bit. I wouldn't sniff my hair. Yeah, I can't. I don't have any. But you do see people go and run it under their nose. I think they would be tickling themselves, but you'd probably also then have a little bit of a sniff. Give it a waft.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah. Worn T-shirts are the most common piece of clothing that people sniff. Well, you give it a sniff test, don't you? Like, does this need washing or can I get another day out of it? So it goes worn t-shirts, then worn trousers, because those are the ones that you're safe for a sniff. Like a trouser, you're like, oh, yeah, you can get another use out of those. Then it's socks, then it's underwear.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Ooh, don't sniff socks. I know, but when you pick it up off the floor, I mean, socks, I feel like look obviously worn. Yeah. Whereas undies, sometimes you're not sure and you do have to get a nose in there. And then, God, if you get it wrong. Three, this is
Starting point is 00:07:57 the third insight from the study of self-sniffing. Three main types of self-sniffing that I identified. Socially acceptable self-sniffing. Three main types of self-sniffing that I've identified. Socially acceptable self-sniffing like worn clothes maybe armpits. I got caught doing it the other day and then a woman looked at me and I was like
Starting point is 00:08:14 not good. Intimate self-sniffing body parts that people would typically not sniff in public due to social taboos such as the navel. What? The navel does stink.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I have never sniffed. The navel does stink. As in your tummy. Get a finger in there. Your tally button. We're going to a tally button. A tally button. Your tally button.
Starting point is 00:08:40 It's your tally button. I haven't heard that since, I'm guessing, the 1990s. Aaron, this may be a little bit intimate, but Aaron likes to shove his nose into tally button. I haven't heard that since, I'm guessing, the 1990s. Aaron, this may be a little bit intimate, but Aaron likes to shove his nose into my belly button. Does it stink? Yeah, they do have a smell. They definitely have a smell. Because you never wash in there.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I mean, you do. You do, but you don't, right? No, not too hard. I do until it makes me feel sick. I hate my belly button being touched. I hate that. Same, that's when Aaron puts his nose in, I'm always like. Okay, the third type of self-sniffing
Starting point is 00:09:08 was cosmetic self-sniffing, like perfumes, shampoos, trying to. Oh, yeah. So we're like quicker to sniff our junk than our perfume, weird. Okay, the fourth insight, scientifically, men and women sniff themselves differently. So men are more, have a higher frequency
Starting point is 00:09:24 of intimate self-sniffing, the balls of the butt, whereas we go for more breath and arm rights. You've got to run and check, don't you? You don't want to be smelly. I know, especially if something fun's going to happen. Got to run and check. Okay, the fifth insight for the self-sniffing study
Starting point is 00:09:39 was that people with health problems sniff themselves more often than healthy people. This suggests that sick people check their smell more often to check for changes in smell due to illness. Oh. Knowingly or? I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Interesting. It just said that it showed more of the socially acceptable self-sniffing. Right. This is, again, another reason to wash our hands. Yeah, wash your hands, man. A lot more. Because people are stuffing them in their anus
Starting point is 00:10:07 and they're giving them a sniff. And then you're shaking their hand, man. And then they're opening that door that you're using right now. And then they're putting their fingers in your mouth. Oh! Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Hello, this is Halian News. Now, I do have an update from a story from 2023 of Halian News. You may remember in Peru there were some alien-like figures seized by the government. Which you claimed at the time was absolute definitive proof of aliens. I supported the idea that these were extraterrestrial beings. Right, okay. As was being presented to Congress, Mexican Congress at the time. Now, they looked like they were really small, like the size of,
Starting point is 00:11:01 I don't know why I want to reference a Tickle Me Elmo, but that's the size that came to mind. Do you know what I mean? Just that sort of toy size. Yeah. Doll-like creatures that had these alien faces and rib cages and whatnot. And then there was this guy who's a ufologist.
Starting point is 00:11:19 That's the thing, isn't it? A ufologist. A ufologist, self-described ufologist, Jamie Mosen. Well, if you're a parent that's disappointed that your child's about to start university in the next month and they're doing a Bachelor of Arts or Fine Arts, at least they're not a ufologist. Yeah, indeed. So he presented them and it was like, this is definitely alien life.
Starting point is 00:11:39 This is not made of plaster or any kind of thing like that. It is made of a bone-like material. Well, scientists have been investigating this and apparently wasting their time, and it has been proven that these are not aliens. They are, in fact, dolls. However... Dolls what? Made of bone?
Starting point is 00:11:58 The dolls are made of bone. Right. So the dolls are made of a human living organism, a once-living thing. These things were just kids' toys from what? So the dolls are made of a human living organism, a once living thing. These things were just kids toys from what? Wait, made of actual bones? Made of actual once living organism bones. They didn't have China, did they?
Starting point is 00:12:15 They didn't have tic-o-me-almos. Yeah, well, that's what they're saying. They had sticks though. They had Aztec corn chips and chocolate and that was it. Yeah, that's all they had. That's all they had. So they just think that these are really old, like still probably a cool discovery,
Starting point is 00:12:28 but they're just dolls. Okay, so this is an apology, is it? Is it an apology? I'm not apologising. Okay. Sometimes we alienists get it wrong. Okay, right. However, this was really exciting.
Starting point is 00:12:41 The other day, because we've been having a little bit of, you know, on your local Facebook community page, a little bit of dodginess on the streets. Oh, really? People sniffing around houses. Oh, yeah. So the street's been alert. Everyone's been a bit on like high alert.
Starting point is 00:12:57 And our neighbours said, they went away the other day. And they came back and we saw them. We're like, hey. And he was walking around his property, like looking around. And we were like, what's up and we saw them, we're like, hey, and he was walking around his property, like looking around and we were like, what's up?
Starting point is 00:13:06 And he said, we just saw this really weird thing on our security camera and because they'd been checking it a little bit because of this activity to make sure while they were away and you cannot explain this.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It was on their like back porch thing and it was a floating light. There's no other way of describing this light. It sounds like a lens flare. No, it wasn't a lens flare. It was like a hovering, moving light. Yeah, that's a lens flare, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:13:35 Someone might have had a torch. Yeah. No, it was moving in a more organic way than a human with a torch trying to break into their home. There's simply no more organic way to move than a human. No. Aliens. It was more floating, I mean. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:13:49 More floating up and down and side to side. So like a light. It was an aura, maybe. Yeah, like a glowing orb. Like a ghost. I want to say like a glowing orb. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Wait a minute. Are you talking paranormal news and you're talking alien news? I'm talking aliens. It didn't feel paranormal because it was glowing. It was more glowing light. It was literally an unidentified floating object. Right. Okay, right.
Starting point is 00:14:12 A.k.a. a UFO. So aliens. While I am debunking one alien story, I am bringing my own that aliens have actually been hanging around my area. And I'm going to find them. And then I will capture this myself and have definitive proof for you non-believers. I see it. I see it in your eyes. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I see it in your eyes. Yep. We're skeptics. I'm going to bring this in and then you won't be able to deny any more Haley and news. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Well, it's nearly

Starting point is 00:17:38 Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee. Play ZM. This is a really embarrassing moment that was captured on phone because there was a gentleman working out at a gyme, otherwise known as a gym, and he was filming the workout. Okay. As so many people like to do. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I see people doing this and I'm like, I don't want to be in the back of this. I'm in the background. I'm not getting paid to be an extra. Yeah, exactly. Contact my agent. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? That's official.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, exactly. Well, he was filming, I believe he was doing maybe the cable row or something because he was seated. Oh, yeah. Okay. Was it good upright? Was it good posture? Okay, good form. Yeah, great form.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Looks like a very fit fella. Okay. And then there's a little moment where he just like pulls his headphone to the side and he's like, oh, excuse me. And you hear this like female voice being like, and he's like, no. Now, the interaction that occurred was
Starting point is 00:18:34 she had gone up to him and said, excuse me, can you please stop staring at me? As in like, you know, you're being a bit of a gym pest. Now, Vaughn knows all about that. Because how I'm very actively, well, I'm led at, but very actively avoiding anybody thinking I am. He's literally eyes down, eyes forward. Remember when I walked into the gym and I shoved my finger up your bum?
Starting point is 00:19:01 He was so shocked because he was so focused on. Yeah, blinded. Got my blinders on. Punched me. Anyway, so she's like, can you stop staring at me? And he was like, absolutely not. If anything, I'm staring at your boyfriend. And then it's so funny because you see this interaction happen
Starting point is 00:19:21 and then he tells the story where he's like, I was working on my dump truck. And he just is honestly the most flamboyant homosexual of all time. And this woman is like, and he explains it basically. He thought he was looking at her. No, he thought she was looking at him. And then so he just like shot her a little smile. And she saw that
Starting point is 00:19:45 as being like, ugh, another gym piece hitting on me. The way he tells the story is so funny. Like he's just clearly
Starting point is 00:19:53 into the boyfriend and she said, he said it. It was like, I'm looking at the boyfriend. The boyfriend's hot. That would be so embarrassing. I clearly,
Starting point is 00:19:59 I just, you go from thinking, oh, he's checking me out because I'm so hot. He wants a piece of me. He wants a piece of this and he doesn't and he wasn't. In the description he describes it as, you have none of the right, oh, he's checking me out because I'm so hot. He wants a piece of me. He wants a piece of this and he doesn't and he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:20:06 In the description he describes it as you have none of the right, quote, facilities for me. He's looking at your hot boyfriend and not you, Han. God. I mean, I'd just like anyone to look at me at the gym, do you know what I mean? Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I was in the female only gym to avoid interactions like this yesterday and well I guess I sort of look at the woman but there was a woman I was on the bike pebbling at 5 level 5 of 11 and there was a woman
Starting point is 00:20:37 next to me on the stairmaster which is just insanely difficult it's like harrowing she was motoring she was like a firefighter going up like harrowing yeah she was motoring it was like she was running she was like a firefighter going up the bloody sky tower right motoring and i looked at her and i was like whoo go and i with a thumbs up as you just looked away like you're such a loser oh i mean it more like go you good thing go you're doing it you're a bit of gym encouragement a gym encouragement yeah oh my god and yesterday i was out for a walk i'm on a journey to health yeah You good thing God. You're doing it. You're a bit of gym encouragement. A gym encouragement. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Oh my God. And yesterday I was out for a walk. I'm on a journey to health. Yeah. I was out for a walk and there was a chick running and then she ran past me and I was walking and I sort of went, hi, hi, as you do on the street. Yeah. And then she'd obviously looped back round and then ran past me again and I was like,
Starting point is 00:21:20 ah! And she sort of laughed and I took off my headphone and I said, keep going! With a thumbs up. You're doing a lot of thumbs in. I'm doing a lot of thumbs in. Thumbs in. Get away from me. No, she giggled.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Right. But mate, I hope she didn't think I was like, keep going, you unfit slob, you know? But it was more, I'm just trying to be encouraging. I'm not a pest. I'm not a gym pest.
Starting point is 00:21:40 What's a gym pest? Wow, wow, wow. Sounding like you are. She doth protest. Oh my God. Play. ZM's. She doth protest. Oh, my. Play. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Silly little poe. Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poe. Silly little poe. Silly little poe. Silly little poe. Silly little po. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. F'what? F'would you prefer to f'where to f'work?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Is today's Silly Little Pole. What would you prefer to wear to work? Uniform or general dress? Like, adhering to a general dress code. Yeah. Or uniform. It's like the school uniform, isn't it? It's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:22:23 It's easy. And then you don't get teased for wearing the same like two clothes over and over. To be fair, the reason that this popped up is because Hooters, the American... Hell of a win. Hell of a chicken win. Oh my God, I went to Hooters. I've never been to a Hooters. And it was quite funny.
Starting point is 00:22:39 On holidays just now? Yeah, because it was like right by where I was staying and there was nothing else around. And like the food's generally pretty good. Food is great, but they were like skimpy waitresses and I was just like,
Starting point is 00:22:50 this feels very wrong. It's weird how like it's just survived. So Hooters is typically a white t-shirt with a Hooters little baby t-shirt with a Hooters thing
Starting point is 00:23:01 across the boobs and a little pair of shorts. And now I've released a new uniform, which is a black t-shirt and these black little shorts. And everyone's like, why are people complaining about the new Hooters uniform? People being the employees.
Starting point is 00:23:13 They're exactly the same. They said, no, they're not. Look at the back. They're a cheeky undie. Wow. They're basically an undie. It's a lot of butt cheek. They're togs at the beach.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Yeah, they do look like togs. So much ass cheek at the beach this year. So much ass cheek. Not complaining. Right. Not complaining, simply an observation. Wow. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I don't know that I would. It's so much flesh. Yeah. It's so much flesh. And you've got to be careful you don't get burnt, because, you know, that's probably the whitest part of the body. Very. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I did a little butt sunbathing the other day. Yeah, very tender. To try to bring it out, you know. Right, okay. But anyway, that's the reason we part of the body. Very. Yeah, definitely. I did a little butt sunbathing the other day. Yeah, very tender. To try to bring it out, you know. Right, okay. But anyway, that's the reason we're talking about uniforms. So 45% of people would prefer to wear a uniform. 55% would prefer to adhere to a dress code. Well, there's quite a lot of people wanting to wear a uniform.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It is. I think it's just because it's easy, right? Yeah, it's so easy. You don't have to worry about your own clothes. I hated wearing a uniform at high school because I wanted to express myself. Yeah. So I had to accessorise and hide it.
Starting point is 00:24:12 But I get it. And it was so easy for my parents. Yeah. Expensive though. I bet your school uniform wouldn't have been a cheap one. It wouldn't have been a great... It was a $1,000 starting... I remember it was a $1,000 starting point.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Because my granddad bought it. He was like, I'll buy it for you. And it was blazer, cardigan, tunic, shirts, tie, shoes. It was a $1,000 starting point. Ridiculous, eh? I don't think I would have had $1,000 on uniform my entire time in high school. Well, that's why my blazer in third form was so big because my mum was like, hell, this is lasting you the five years. And it did. That's good stuff blazer in third form was so big, because my mum was like, hell, this is lasting you the five years.
Starting point is 00:24:46 And it did. That's good stuff. I know. Ugh. Farc 8. F-A-R-R-K 8. No name. This is suspicious.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Grogu is their profile picture. Grogu from the Mandalorian. Far says Kate. Never having to think of what to wear would be amazing. Pro uniform. Yeah. Sounds like fashion's to think of what to wear would be amazing. Pro uniform. Yeah. Sounds like fashion's not her passion. Might have been a hey.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Not sure of the gender on that one. I thought it was just Kate. Far. Oh, Far Kate. Oh, might be. Kate. Kate. Breanne says, I like guidelines but not a few uniform,
Starting point is 00:25:22 like black pants and a white top sort of thing. Unless working in a clothing shop, I reckon that shouldn't be a uniform or regulation. It's just you should be wearing the clothes that you're selling. Yeah. I'm a teacher. I'd rather wear a uniform that can get sticky, messy, dirty than my nice clothes that I have to wash constantly.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Also, like, if you're a teacher, you're getting teased if you don't dress well, right? Yeah, totally. Like, blame. What I'm saying is the teacher called Mr. Brown Sword should not have worn brown cords. Oh, yeah, he's asking for it. Oh, my God, brown sword, brown cord.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Brown cord. Brown sword, brown cord. Do you know Mr. Brown Cords? And he'd be like, what did you call me? And they're like, brown sword, do you know? What's classic? Don't wear brown cords. That's mean.
Starting point is 00:26:01 They are so nasty. One Hayley to another, fashion is my passion. Kia ora. Anti-uniform. Yeah, same. HelloMyNameIs says uniform means I have to wash my normal clothes much less. Yeah. So they're pro-uniform? Hannah, uniform means I can roll out of bed,
Starting point is 00:26:18 get ready and choof off to work all within 10 minutes, give or take. Choof off. Never heard that? No. Choofing off to work. I'd say toddle. Yeah, I'll toddle. I quite often toddle off to work. You toddle off to work.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I should off to work. Do you toddle or tottle? Is it toddle or toddle? Toddle. Toddle. It's toddle off. No, toddle. Yeah, it'd be toddle.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Toddle. Toddle. Because you're toddling like a toddler. That's why they're called toddlers, because they're toddling around. Off you toddle. Off you toddle. Off you toddle. But I'm saying toddle, but it's T-O-T-T.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah, it's T-O-T-T-L-E, right? Is it? No, T-O-T-T. To walk in a wavering, unsteady manner. Toddle off. Toddle? It's toddle.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's toddle. To walk in an unwavering, yeah, I've got this thing, yeah. Yeah, but you say it toddle, as you would say... The meaning of toddle is to walk with short tottering steps in the manner of a young child. So you've used tottering in the definition for toddle.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Yeah, they've said by explaining toddle, they've used toddle. Right, okay. That's cooked. Welcome to the English language. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Out of the quiet moments of summer, I thought to myself, it's time for a friend kill. They won't know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And if you're hearing this, you've made the cut. I think it was. Are people still doing that on Facebook? I haven't seen it for a while. But then I would unfriend someone that did that. Yeah, you'd be like, let me help you out. I would quite happily, after seeing some memories and statuses come up
Starting point is 00:27:49 over the summer break, just get rid of my Facebook. But I need it for like the groups that I'm in and chatting. The community pages. That's the only thing, yeah. Yeah, same. Can you just get rid of everything else but keep that? You can keep the chat.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Or you could just delete all your friends. You can change all of your stuff to only me. Yeah, right. Yeah, make, you could just delete all your friends. You can change all of your stuff to only me. Yeah, right. Yeah, make only me and then delete all your friends and then you've just be part of groups. Yeah. But then your chats and stuff, you need to be friends with people for that.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yeah, true. It's too hard. I think it was when there was 30 people at my house on New Year's Eve that I thought, it's time to cut this in half. Wow. And then I went to bed at 9.30. Which 15 friends are going? You will never know
Starting point is 00:28:26 And they won't either Okay They'll just be like We haven't seen Vaughn for like five years And that's when they know Oh my god He did that cull He did that thing he does
Starting point is 00:28:36 Yeah And then at the other end of the spectrum Producer Jared's making friends 30 last year and making friends No, no, no, no, no You've made all your friends by then It's time to start No, no, no, no, no. You've made all your friends by then. It's time to start chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. Producer Jared, making adult
Starting point is 00:28:50 friends. Yeah, trying to. It's hard. Why? What drew? What made this occur for you? Like, what did you want? Why did you want to do this? Oh, I didn't. Yeah, it wasn't on my list of things to do was making friends. You've got the midi and you've got friends already,
Starting point is 00:29:05 so it doesn't matter. I've got my four 40-year-old friends and my two my age friends. That's usually enough. But now I reconnected with an old group that I used to know and I was kind of like, oh, I kind of miss these people. I want to be friends with them. Oh, wow. So it's sort of a re-ignition.
Starting point is 00:29:24 A re-ignition is worse than making a new friend. I'm sort of into it. I'm sort of into it. I like this idea. It's so awkward. How did we fall out of favour? Because they're going to have to discuss that at some stage. Well, do we?
Starting point is 00:29:38 We don't need to bring that up. Someone's going to. The loud one. You've had a reconnection with some old friends. Yeah. And now you are feeling some anxiety around this. Yeah, like it's kind of like when you start dating someone or you like someone, you're like, oh, do I message them today?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Oh, my God. Or I did text them yesterday. I don't want to sound annoying. I don't want to seem overly keen. But I don't even think with dating there are rules now. Like you've got to wait for them to text you. I think there's a peeling away, but I feel like it's almost more with the friend thing. I get
Starting point is 00:30:10 it. Really? I don't want to seem too keen. I don't want to seem too full on. Like, I want to hang out. What are y'all doing tonight? But that's not how adulting works. You don't want to seem too keen. Yeah. So what do I do? How do I, what's my next message?
Starting point is 00:30:30 I think, yeah, I would, because you know, I'm a collector of friends. Yeah. I'm going, I'm going the opposite way. The more the merrier. I've made so many friends in the last two years. It's unbelievable. And I love them all. And they'll all be bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Wow. So wait, Vaud and I are now back on the wedding invite list? Yeah, you're back. Top tier. You're back. But all the gays, the gaggle, everyone else, they're all on. You guys are all coming. It's a wedding of 300. I would just go for it because I go, if you were to message them and then, like,
Starting point is 00:31:00 what's the worst that could happen? They don't message back. What if they never message back? Well, that's okay. Then they're not worth your time, Jarrod. It's their loss. I also said this to Jarrod because he brought this in as a private discussion point and we said, let's chuck it on air.
Starting point is 00:31:15 You don't have full-on energy. And I know full-on energy. I'm a bit much. You know what I mean? Okay, well, pull back. You don't have that energy of someone who would get a message from you and be like, God, that guy's so back. You don't have that energy of someone who would get a message from you and be like, oh, God, that guy's so annoying.
Starting point is 00:31:28 You don't have that energy. No. No, I don't think I message anyone incessantly. No, and you've got a chill vibe. I think if they don't message you back, they're not worth your time, hon. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? You've got to value yourself in that way.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Game play, we can't do it. My word of the year is self-worth. Yeah. That's two words Or one It's hyphenated It's hyphenated It's hyphenated
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's like one and a half It's 1.5 words My phrase of the year My phrase of the year Yeah I am enough You are enough Jarrod Okay
Starting point is 00:31:57 You're a beautiful friend And they would be lucky to have you And if they don't see that Then let them go But so I should message them Maybe tomorrow Not today You don't be too full on Well it's certainly not 7.14am Jarrod Oh yeah Don't see that, then let them go. So I should message them maybe tomorrow, not today? You don't be too full on.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Well, it's certainly not 7.14am, Jared. Oh, yeah, don't be that guy that gets up at 4am. That also sounded like the chat the hot girl gives the ugly girl in the group about boys. No. Yes, it is. No, that's not what I'm doing. That's not what I'm doing. Yesterday we had a little something to do after the show
Starting point is 00:32:27 and I sat down on one of the couches in the main office and there was a cushion on it. I'll say it was tacky. It was gross. We need to work on the design in there. And I saw the tag, you know, just like the maiden blah, blah, blah, copyright, da, da, da, thing. I ripped it off.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I was like, blech. And then I can't remember who it was made a comment Shannon made a comment about the audacity of me just coming and ripping off a tag and I said
Starting point is 00:32:51 god it's not like it's from Cheetah meaning the New Zealand design store Cheetah C-I-T-T-A with all the furniture and the bed linen
Starting point is 00:32:59 all the furniture and the sort of scandy looking stuff nice bed linens nice cushions oh it's posh all over New Zealand the the store, right? Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And then Fletch was like, cheetah? That's not how you say it. Well, it's sitter, isn't it? I always thought it was seater. C-I-T-T-A, there's a thing over the A, but that's because I want to be posh. No, the thing over the A is because it's Italian and cheetah means city in Italian.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And as my mum chimed in, she heard the tease. My mum who's done, you know, speaks Italian and lives in Italy. She said Citta means city. And then Citta, the store, would always name their new season after a city. Oh, okay. Like the Milan season. You're 100% wrong. Was it always an Italian city or did they do like a Hamilton?
Starting point is 00:33:45 I don't know. I don't know if it got a Hamilton range. Yeah, I don't know. Hamilton would be nice. A couple of lion red cushions. With some ciggy burns in them. CI is pronounced with a chi, like a chiabata. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:00 God, look at that penis drop live on air. Chiabata is C-I-A-B. So for you, it would be C-I-A-B-A-T-A. C-I-A-B-A-T-A. You'd say, what do you say, Sita? Sita. And what do you say? I've always said Sita.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Sita. I've never really known, but I've never thought about it too much. That's bad vowels in any language. Yeah. The I, Sita. Sita. This is beautiful watching you realise this, how wrong you were, because you wanted to have a debate about how you say it, suta. Suta. This is beautiful watching you realise this, how wrong you were, because you wanted to have a debate
Starting point is 00:34:27 about how you say it, but you're just wrong. And she even said, with two T's, you actually bounce off each other so you can hear both T's. Chitita. Chitita. Chitita. Chitita. Chitita. And then I said to mum, I said, mum, I know.
Starting point is 00:34:44 You don't have to tell me I've got it right She said I know How embarrassing For those peasants Well we were public school We were public school We didn't have a thousand dollar uniform See yeah mum
Starting point is 00:34:51 Look what all your money Hundreds of thousands of dollars In education has done My mum doesn't go and live in Italy She will splash out on a pizza A margarita Hawaiian Her favourite
Starting point is 00:35:04 Because it's got pineapple And processed ham bits. Yeah, yum, yum, yum. A buongiorno Italiano. She'll do a pasta as long as it's not too much. Sometimes they're a little too much. I feel like your mum might like a white-based pasta. I like a white-based pasta.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm talking an Alfredo. I'm talking a Carbonara. Yeah, of course you do, you're basically. You don't, you know, nothing red inside or anything like that. Does Christine do a butter chicken? Or is that too much for her, your mum? I don't think she'd do a curry, to be honest. Yeah, she'd be scared of it.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Wow. Well, a lot of people are just realising that it's cheetah. Really? Yeah. Okay, well. So, bonjourno. Somebody messaged in, it's definitely Cheetah. I met a lady at a course who worked there, and she said she worked at Cheetah.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And I was like, oh, what do they do? And she said interior designs. And I was like, oh, I have to look them up. I've never heard of them. And she was just like looking at me like, how can you never have heard of them? Then it finally dawned on me she was saying what I had been saying, Seater. Yeah. Or Kitter.
Starting point is 00:36:02 All along. Okay, well, I'm not alone then in that one. Oh, I'm not alone. She said I couldn't bring myself to speak to her again at the course because I wanted nothing more to be like, I totally knew it was Cheetah. Of course. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Lesson learned, everyone. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I am a precious cat owner. Oh, my God. Rolly, just side thought. It's just trigger warning. Yep.
Starting point is 00:36:27 I lost a cat two years ago and recently lost a dog, and I don't want to talk about either of them. Okay. Okay. Okay. Just trigger warning. I'm going to talk about my cat who's alive. Again, offensive.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I'm not rubbing it in your face. You are. You are rubbing it in my face. I mean, I've got two more cats and two more dogs, but I don't want to talk about it. I lost a cat four or five years ago. I did. I cleaned up his grave yesterday.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Oh, did you? Oh, the day before. Oh, lovely. No, just before we came back to work. Yeah, the day before. What a good pal. Cleaning up your friend's dead cat's grave. Well, rolling on the floor.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Look at those stones engraved. Engrave a stone. Can you do that? Yeah, that'd be beautiful. That'd be lovely. That's a nice gesture. Yeah. We'll do that for your birthday, hon.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Karen. Yeah. We'll do that for your birthday. Is it paper letter? Don't know. It doesn't matter. Do they do it at Mr. Minute? Hello, I like this stone engraved.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Oh, we cut keys and engrave collars. Engrave the goddamn stone, Mr. Minute. Okay, look, I'm going to show you a photo of my cat and it's full on. So Raleigh got in a fight and... That's an abscess. So the abscess burst and then he had to go get it lanced and drained and stuff and he had this horrendous You could see the inside of him
Starting point is 00:37:27 This whole The holiday And then like while people were around at our house On like New Year's and everything We were like Look away While we were like cleaning his wound You should have put a Minions plaster on him
Starting point is 00:37:37 Can't put a plaster on the fur No Did they not shave around the fur? Yeah they shaved it Yeah They shaved it But no plasters They had to breathe
Starting point is 00:37:44 They shaved my. But no plasters. They had to breathe. They shaved my pussy. Anyway, so. I wonder how often a vet, because vets have to do it, right? Vets have to shave it. And old ladies who love their cats, who are the first to have their cats to the vet, don't call cats cats. They call them pussies. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:38:02 My mother-in-law calls her cat a pussy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My nana did. When it comes in from the rain you know what she calls it you know what I mean I just like can't even
Starting point is 00:38:08 and I just want to know that a vet has to stifle a laughter when the old lady's like oh you're not going to have to shave my pussy eh and the vet is just like
Starting point is 00:38:18 yes I am ma'am oh my god that would be the highlight of your day that would absolutely would be you've just euthanised the beloved family pet and left the Smiths,
Starting point is 00:38:28 three of the four Smiths absolutely bawling in the waiting room and you pop next to one of the old ladies like, I'm not going to have to shave my pussy. It makes up for the sad. It makes up for it. It does. It does. Also, don't even bother complaining about that.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We'll win that one. Because we were talking about what old ladies call cats. And if you drew any other conclusion, that's about your dirty mind and nothing to do with us. How could you do that? That would be disgusting. What conclusion are you even talking about? I don't even know what you're referencing.
Starting point is 00:38:58 That would be horrific. Anyway, well, speaking of – no, I can't. I was about to get in trouble. Speaking of cats, well, speaking of... No, I can't. I was about to get in trouble. Yeah. Speaking of cats, Shannon, you have been given control and care of your flatmate's cat? Yeah, so my flatmate's been in New York for a month now. Oh, must be nice.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I know. A month and a big apple. Yeah, all by herself as well. It's not cheap there. What is she, the new Statue of Liberty? She's house-fitting. Oh, she's filling in for the Statue of Liberty, taking a break. The Statue of Liberty
Starting point is 00:39:27 is on annual leave and she's just standing there like it is hard. It's cold. Send me your poor and your hungry and your heroin. No, not them, not them. People keep visiting me. So she's been filling in for the Statue of Liberty. The Ghostbusters went inside me and
Starting point is 00:39:43 sprayed all the goop, and now I'm fighting Stay Path Marshmallow Man. I arrived with a nice tan, now I'm green. I don't know what happened. No, she's done it real cheap. She's house-sitting for someone. Oh, nice. So she's staying a month. And she has a cat that lives in our house, and it's her cat,
Starting point is 00:40:00 but now she's gone, Aunty Shannon's in charge. Cute. I've taught him tricks before. He does paw. If you go paw, he gives you his little hand. That's cute. Very cute. I've decided to just keep teaching him things while she's gone.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Now he's fat. Yeah. Oh, you've been working on it. You've trained him. It's a reward. He does a trick with the paw and then you give him a... And he's just so cute that now every time I walk in the room, he puts his little hand up
Starting point is 00:40:26 because now he's because he's fat and hungry yeah you are a nightmare because I've had people look after my cat overfeed him you come back
Starting point is 00:40:31 and they just cry and cry and cry for food well now we also think he has a second family because he's bought home a new toy that was filled with treats so he's either
Starting point is 00:40:40 robbed another cat or he's got another cat looking for treats. I did this to Vaughan's cat one summer. Remember when you were in Thailand and I was in charge of feeding R.I.P.? R.I.P. don't want to talk about it. I thought we weren't talking about him. He's been brought up.
Starting point is 00:40:55 We're sorry. I think after three years I'll be ready to talk about it. But did you overfeed this cat? No, to the point where the cat couldn't drag its... No, but it always had a little flap underneath. But that's normal. It's got nothing to do with weight. The primordial pouch.
Starting point is 00:41:09 He never had it. It's a primordial pouch. It never had a primordial pouch. It's genetic. He couldn't drag his primordial pouch through the cat door. Put it in slag and get snagged. Because I was just, every time I saw it, I was like, you need more food. No, this is why.
Starting point is 00:41:25 How heavy is your cat? Mine's 4.3 kg. 6.7. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, I don't know how much he weighs because I don't know how to weigh a cat. You jump on your scales. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Well, I don't know. But I normally pick him up and he feels, you know, like a cat. Now he's dense. Like, I feel. He's dense, boy. I don't feel his ribs anymore. I don't feel his life, Shannon. You can't do this. Oh, but look how cute. No. Bl he's dense. Like I don't feel... I don't feel his life, Shannon. You can't do this. Oh, but look how cute. Blame the neighbours.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Blame the neighbours. Well, that's the thing. Yeah, he's got this other family, I think. Or he's a ram raider. Yeah, he's a ram raider. He's ramming the cat door to the biscuits. He goes back. He charges forward. He's stealing Suzuki Swifts and reversing them into dairies.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And then stealing the sachets of whiskers. Give me all the sachets. This is terrible. She's going to be dealing with this long after. I know, and I don't know how to tell her. Do I pre-warn her? Is this your ginger pussy? Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Okay. Yeah. It's the ginger one. But I don't know. Shall I message her in advance and say, hey. I've made your pussy a piece of chunk. I've made it fat. Yeah. It's the ginger one. But I don't know. Shall I message her in advance and say, hey, I've made you a piece of chunk. I've made her fat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Or do I just let her see if she notices? Maybe she'll notice. She'll notice. She'll notice. It's only a month, though. He's not that big. I can't believe you've... I can put on a hell of a lot of weight in a month.
Starting point is 00:42:41 We just had a month off. I think a full KGC video. And I didn't even learn any tricks. I just had all the treats. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There is a woman who has shared a story online.
Starting point is 00:42:56 She went on a date. It was all fine. They went to a pub. I think pubs are a great place for a date. Not too much pressure, not too fancy, you know, not too quiet.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Clink, clink. You just get a beer, get a meal, for a date. Not too much pressure, not too fancy, you know, not too quiet, clink, clink, you know, tension. You just get a beer, get a meal, have a chat. Unless there's a pub quiz on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Oh yeah, I don't know. Watch the greyhounds on the screen. Yeah, exactly. Hit the pokies afterwards. You love a pub with a TAB and a pokies.
Starting point is 00:43:19 He loves a tavern. I love a tavern. The man loves a tavern. So, I don't support dog or horse racing, by the way. Because it sounded like you did if you go into these places. I've been to taverns with you when you've been like... I've been screaming, haven't I?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Come on, you bastard! We're off to the glue factory! Go, go, go! Daddy's last 20s on this one! Sorry, kids, no pun. So her problem with the date was not that the man was yelling at the horses and the dogs. They were chatting at this and having a little chat and then he was just reached over to a table nearby
Starting point is 00:43:56 and ate a sausage that had been left behind. Like leftovers. So the people weren't sitting there. They'd left. No, they'd left to go and their plates hadn't been cleared yet. He just said nothing and just like ate the leftover sausage. And then afterwards
Starting point is 00:44:15 she said, I thought he was joking around. And then he grabbed the toast that was with the sausage. Oh, not the toast. You don't eat old cold someone else's toast. I feel like it's a brunch and lunch. Toast is a morning bread. And also a pub brunch.
Starting point is 00:44:31 You know what that toast is. Rules. It's white bread with margarine on it. Perfectly toasted. Yeah, so he just proceeded, he ate two pieces of toast and a sausage with no plate. And then when she was like laughing and being like, haha, he's doing a bit, he was like,
Starting point is 00:44:46 no, I just hate wasted food. I dig it. I mean, I dig it. I don't like wasted food, but I'm not eating somebody else's. No, I would never do that. Well, I've eaten chips off of someone's plate at a restaurant, but they were still eating the chips.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Was this pesty drunk Hayley? It was pesty drunk Hayley walked into a restaurant and I was waiting for my food and I was like, ugh, and then I just went like, yoink, when they weren't looking. That's clitodacious. It was a little, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sure it's edible. There's something about it that makes me feel like it's gross. But you're not going ahead with a second date with this guy, are you? If he's doing this. No, no. No second date. She said she got the ick
Starting point is 00:45:27 for sure. And then everyone would agree being like, yeah, that's gross. Anyway, we want to ask you, what is the grossest thing someone's done on a date that you've seen? Yes. Like it could be around like... Did they have a nose pick? Did they have a little nose pick and then as they were talking to you, slipped into their mouth
Starting point is 00:45:44 just quietly. Did that thing where you just scratch and then you're were talking to you, you slipped into their mouth just quietly. Did that thing where you just scratch and you're like, oh yeah, that's crazy. Yum, yum, yum, salty. Mmm, salty. My own stuff is salty. It's always salty. It's always salty.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Not that we know. No, no, we've heard. I've heard on the line that it's salty. It was me that told you because I picked mine as an eater. Oh, that's right. Remember, it was me just before the show when I was picking mine as an eater. Yeah, and you're like, yum, you've got to try this. That It's salty. It was me that told you because I picked my nose and ate it. Remember it was me just before the show when I was picking my nose and ate it. I said, man, that is so salty. It's a great little
Starting point is 00:46:10 morning drink. I've got to clear out my nasal canal before we start the show. I regret whenever we do something gross, we regret it and I cannot, Vaughn, I cannot hear your dry reaching today. I can't. I won't. I can't. I'll go. I feel it. I can't. I'll go.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I feel it. So a woman is on a date with a man. It sounds like a brunch. And he eats off the next table when they leave two slices of toast and a sausage. Like leftover food. And she said she just found it really gross. So we've asked you what is the grossest thing you've seen on a date. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And we regret it, don't we? The top text is feral. We'll get into the text soon. Anonymous has called. Anonymous, what's the grossest thing you saw on a date? Hi, guys. Long-time listener. First couple of words.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Oh, yes, Anonymous. Yes. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome, Anonymous. Thank you. I went on a date with this guy to the night market. Always a good date. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:05 We decided to get the dumplings. Yes. I love dumplings. Always pan fried or steamed? Pan fried. Yeah, always pan fried. Got to be pan fried. Thank you, yes.
Starting point is 00:47:16 We're eating away and then we're sitting down on our benches and he goes to put one in his mouth and it falls on the ground. Oh. And he picks it up, looks at it for like two seconds and then puts it in his mouth and it falls on the ground. And he picks it up, looks at it for like two seconds and then puts it in his mouth. You've got to blow it. Did he blow it? To blow the bad things off?
Starting point is 00:47:33 No. I would eat a dumpling in my own house on the ground. Two second rule, absolutely. At a night market in a scody car park, that's why you've got to blow it. Blow the stones off.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Did you say anything? No, I didn't. I was just mortified and then I thought, well, that's it. No more dates because if he ever cooks for me, I'll always think of that. You'll never. He's been on the ground in the gravel. He could have a really strong gut health, like good bacteria though. No, off the ground. Someone's peed there. Yeah, gross. Anonymous,
Starting point is 00:48:05 thank you for that. Some messages in. No, don't do it. I can't hear your retching today. I was on a first date and he had a couple of drinks to ease his nerves. And then he smashed a bottle of wine at dinner. Now, no word if that was an accident or...
Starting point is 00:48:22 I think it consumed. You smashed it. I smashed it. Don't you like, drank it. I thought it was like, where's my steak? And then ran to the bathroom before dessert to have a chunny. Oh, don't get that trunk on.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Read the room, you know. Nerves, I reckon. Are we both doing it? That's different. Yeah. Went on a date with a girl who suddenly tried to pick her nose and flick it onto the ground.
Starting point is 00:48:43 No second date was made. That's me, man. That's me. I want to know what you'd prefer she did with it. Not pick her nose, I guess. Wipe it under the seat. Wipe it under the seat? That's gross.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah. All the ground. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. The grossest thing you've seen on a date. Worst things you've seen on a date. Grossest things. A guy eats a sausage off the table next door.
Starting point is 00:49:04 You know he's going to make A great dad though Because dads eat their meal And then clean up everybody else's Yeah It's the job They don't want to waste Their kids meals
Starting point is 00:49:12 Not the table next to them It's practising It's family hoover So some messages in Todd on Instagram said I got one beer She came in Got a jug of rum and coke
Starting point is 00:49:22 And smashed the whole thing Before I finished the beer Wait they let you do a jug? I'm having flashbacks to the Eastside Tavern in 2002. A jug of liquor. A jug of rum and coke. It wouldn't be
Starting point is 00:49:34 the normal strength of a rum and coke. Do you know at some bars in South America you can buy a whole bottle of vodka and take it to your table? That would never happen in New Zealand, right? You could do that in Oman in the clubs. You'd literally buy it and take it away. It's bottle of vodka and take it to your table. Like that would never happen in New Zealand, right? Oh yeah, you could do that in Oman in the clubs. You'd literally buy it and take it away. It's bottle service.
Starting point is 00:49:49 They bring it to you, don't they? Isn't that what bottle service is? No, you just buy it at the bar. No, that's the fancy version of it. And then you'll either shot it or you can just have mixer as well. Like that's insane. That would never happen here.
Starting point is 00:50:00 We're not responsible. And so it shouldn't. Hannah on Instagram said he had to blow a breathalyser to start his car. Oh, yeah. I'm hearing some flags are flapping. You think that flag's a flapping? Prepare to
Starting point is 00:50:15 hoist the mainsail. I had a date once and she dropped the N word on the first date. Jeepers! Creepers! No, gross. Would you just automatically be like, cool, thank you and goodbye, like get me keys, goodbye. 100%. Lauren said a guy back washing into his cup like when he drank, he tried
Starting point is 00:50:31 to shut his mouth but stuff flowed back. He's just learning. He doesn't even know he's doing it. Let him take his sippy cup on the date. She kept him on the teat too long I reckon, that mum. Yeah, yeah. He never learnt to mouth a cup. Visible floaties. My date removed his Invisalign in front of me and placed it between us on the table.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Yeah, I used to have to do that. But don't you have a little container? Yeah. A cute little container? Yeah. You put it in there? But it's always gross to be like, oh my God, this food looks delicious.
Starting point is 00:50:59 It's that noise? Yeah, the click. It's that noise. Yeah. I'm not reading the next one. Why not? You read it and you'll see why I have not read it on the radio station. Which one?
Starting point is 00:51:17 We're not reading that one out. Kimmy's 2511. Oh. I'm not on there. I'm not on. I'm on the text machine. It's on the text machine. It's in the Instagram responses
Starting point is 00:51:26 Hang on Oh for God's sake A booger in their moustache He had a booger in his moustache Someone Gay man here Yeah This is what the person says
Starting point is 00:51:37 Someone Gay man here Had their beard on the floor And their kitty litter next to it No Oh you know I'm sorry Us straights can barely get away with that.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Let alone the homie or sexy wolves. The gays are not getting away with those shenanigans. Just enjoying a slice of gnashy pear. We mentioned yesterday there were no apples in my supermarket. Again,
Starting point is 00:52:04 yesterday there was a shortage. Somebody messaged in. It's a hangover from Cyclone Gabriel. Production down 20-30%. But hopefully soon some apples coming. Some kind of pear that I've
Starting point is 00:52:19 never had before. I've just given you some. It's disgusting, isn't it? It's a Nashi. No, but it's a white one. You know, like, aren't Nashis normally brown? No. Oh, I had a white Nashi yesterday. The thing that annoys me about these when you see them is they're always wrapped in that polystyrene that you get your duty free in.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Oh, yeah, that's, yeah. I don't like that. I don't like an actually wrapped fruit. I feel bad. But that's all fruit in Japan comes in those, like, separated trays. Nothing against Japan. Sounds to me like you've got something against Japan. Because it sounds to me like you're not
Starting point is 00:52:50 willing to drop World War 2. Well, no, you know I love a bento box. Absolutely. And Japanese food's delicious. But this, disgusting. I mean, Japanese listeners thinking that you think that Japanese cuisine is just the bento box. It is. Everything in the box. You know my thoughts on Japan. Huge fan of bento boxes. And those Suzuki's.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Well done. Separated food. I love it. But I'm just saying, this pear is disgusting. I'll never reach for a pear. It's not a good... Really? Nah, I'll never reach for a pear. Never a hard pear. Always a hard apple, never a hard pear. Only if it's in it with a blue cheese and a walnut. A hot combo. And a nice salad too.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Not a bad salad. Classy salad. Speaking of salads, journey to health. Yeah, we're on it. We went hard yesterday as a trio. Yeah, we did. You closed all the rings. I get the notifications
Starting point is 00:53:32 when Hayley's done a workout. It had been a while. No offence. No. It has been a while. I hadn't got the notification. For some reason, we still cannot.
Starting point is 00:53:41 They will not let us link friendship on Apple. It's terrible. Yeah, they don't want us knowing when each other's working out. I closed my rings yesterday, back into cannot. They will not let us link friendship on Apple. It's terrible. Yeah, they don't want us knowing when each other's working out. I closed my rings yesterday, back into it. Yeah, I know. It's great. Yeah, well done.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I closed my rings too. I don't know if we're all just talking about closing our rings, but I closed my rings. I think that's three rings. That's three rings. Three rings of three rings. There's nine rings. Good.
Starting point is 00:53:59 The nine rings. That's great. Great work on everybody. Have you not been to the gym at all over the summer break? I had not been to the gym for ages. I went for a couple of runs. I was doing a lot of outdoor stuff. There was a couple of days where I accidentally shut my rings just doing digging and stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I didn't even wear my watch because I didn't want that hard tan line. Dude, look, check this out. I know, this is why. Yeah, it's bad. That's actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Nah, I'm free of it. Anyway. But yesterday, first day back at the gym, first day back at work, first day back at the gym, new routine, get back into the old habits.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And I walked in and the girls at the gym were like, he's back. Oh, no. I hate that. Yeah. And I was like, hey, everybody. And they're like, there he is. And I went and got changed on the way back out. They were like, what's been happening?
Starting point is 00:54:45 I was just like, I got busy at the end of last year and then I was just like, I don't care over summer. I'm a walrus. Yeah. I'm enjoying my season, you know. I'm enjoying my blubber. Yeah. I got some blubber. I'm trying to get warm out there in this cold Atlantic Ocean. And they said, we almost
Starting point is 00:55:02 sent you the text. The text. The text. You know the gym text? Hey, Vaughn. Haven't seen you in a while. Everything going okay? Anything we can help you with? Can we entice you with a discounted PT session? Oh, don't.
Starting point is 00:55:16 PT session. They've stopped that with me. They've tried. They've tried. I'm just like, it's just not at all in my alley to have someone be like, and now do this, and now do this. Oh, I love it. And now do that.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Yeah. At Les Mills, they don't hassle you at all, but they do send you little congratulatory things when you reach landmark sort of visits. What, like if you climb a mountain? Like your 500th visit or something. Oh, okay. Yeah, I've had that.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Not the 500th. The 10th? Yeah, your 10th visit. something. Oh, okay. Yeah, I've had that. Not the 500th. The 10th? Yeah, your 10th visit. Grats. But you don't get a text. It's too anonymous, too big. Do you know what I mean? Whereas you're part of quite a small gym.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Yeah, and they'll send you the old, Helen's seen you for a while. I'd love to imagine somebody's been in a coma for six months and they get the text from the gym. It's like, hey, we haven get the text from the gym. Yeah. Hey, we haven't seen you for a while. Yeah, yeah. Their family turns off the machine at the wall.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Now's a great time to work on your fitness goals for 2024. Yeah. Hey, hey, Craig, how's 2024 looking for you? Reply, not good. Craig just died. Yeah. Grim. Craig's dead.
Starting point is 00:56:24 After a six-month coma. After a six-month coma in which we removed all of his limbs. I dodged the text. reply, not good, Craig just died. Yeah. Grim. Craig's dead. After a six-month coma in which we removed all of his limbs. I dodged the text. I just went back just in time to not get the text. But now you have to keep on going so that it's so abnormal that you're back. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:38 I did get through some TV, though, because, you know, I've been falling behind on my TV. Because this is what you watch. That's all I do at the gym. I do like an hour and a bit of cardio and all I do is I watch TV. What did you start watching? I finished, started and finished yesterday
Starting point is 00:56:51 oh not started, I'd watched a couple Echo on Disney Plus. Okay. Right. Is that just somebody yelling into a cavern? The whole thing is just like hey hey hey hey hey. Oh life it up, it's about a deaf girl. Wow. Why would I laugh?
Starting point is 00:57:08 Why would I be laughing at a deaf girl? Canceled for saying we should laugh at deaf people. And she's an amputee, so that's two. That's cancelled. I can't believe you told us to laugh. That's one each. That's one cancellation each. No, you're the one who's cancelled. You're the one who said Laugh It Up.
Starting point is 00:57:24 It's about someone being deaf. Hayley will take the Deaf Society, you take Amputees New Zealand and done. I don't want to. Korea's over. No! But that was a really good watch actually. I can recommend to watch that.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Right. And today I'm getting into the What If, the Marvel series The What If. Okay. If things were different in the Marvel Universe, that's my next. And that's what's going to encourage me to go. It's not looking better.
Starting point is 00:57:45 It's not losing weight. It's not telling. It's literally having some uninterrupted tally time. Hey, whatever works for you. Yeah. Whatever works for you. Why not? I can't even remember who told me this.
Starting point is 00:58:01 I can't even remember. It was in the last week and someone told me this. Why did it even come up? It's all a blur, but it's blown my mind. So fly spray. Yeah. Love it.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Huge fan. Same. Especially now that we've got the doors in our house, we've had them open all summer and then it just means that flies are inside. And when it comes time
Starting point is 00:58:22 to close them up, the house is full of flies. Mums and aunties go crazy about flies. Don't they? Yeah. My mother-in-law does that wall spraying thing.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Oh yeah, your ripcorded outside, don't you? That's what it's called. You spray the outside of your house. No, they did the inside. Oh, you can do the inside as well.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking of doing it because we're very flyy where we are. They drive me nuts. Anyway, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking of doing it because we're very fly-y where we are. They drive me nuts. Anyway, so I reach for the fly spray day after day. Go around the house targeting but also giving a general sweep. Nah, dude, general sweep.
Starting point is 00:58:54 I know. It's so – and also, Aaron, I'm so embarrassed. I bought the lemon. Bought the lemony flavour. What? There's a lemon flavour of fly spray? That's true. It's lemon scented.
Starting point is 00:59:05 No one's tasting it. He bought lemon flavoured. The flies are tasting it. Yeah, well, it's for them. It's a little lemony treat. They don't even know what's happening. It does make the house smell like it's been freshly pledged. No, it's too lemony.
Starting point is 00:59:16 That's another thing mums and aunties love. Yeah. Pledge. Pledge. Pledge the wooden surface. So I got this and I've been using it and then someone told me I don't know why maybe I'd sprayed it
Starting point is 00:59:27 and then they just knew this fact they told me I always thought then you you spray the flies yeah and it's the chemicals in the thing and they ingest chemicals as we
Starting point is 00:59:36 would as humans and you die from the chemicals or like me I'll sometimes drown a fly just to really get it really good like white paste it. You know when you spray alcoholice or too much
Starting point is 00:59:46 it goes white paste. Yeah. I'm like, you're not getting out of this fly. You're a monster. I like sucking a fly into a vacuum cleaner and knowing he's going to die in there
Starting point is 00:59:54 and be like stuck in this small little area and be like, yeah man, the teacher's coming to my house. Isn't that hysterical? That's what they say about the Dyson's
Starting point is 01:00:02 cyclonic power. This is how I used to remove the ladder from the Sims pool. You know, I like to see them struggle for a while. You are a psycho! I thought that they ingest the chemicals and die immediately. But what this person told me and what I'm reading now is, one of the chemicals, it's not that they ingest the chemical
Starting point is 01:00:20 and the chemical kills you. The chemical contracts the muscles and paralyzes them and then eventually the paralyzed muscles mean that they can't breathe. But it's not immediate. So when you see a fly, it's like And they're doing break dancing. Den, den, den, den, den, den, den.
Starting point is 01:00:37 That's a lot. Go DJ! Spin that wheel. It's because they're like paralyzed and those are the last muscles that they're using to like try to get out. But after they're still, they're not dead. Oh. They're being like, help. They're just paralyzed alive.
Starting point is 01:00:55 That is horrible to think about. Which is so much more torturous. Yeah. So I was like, should you spray them to stop them buzzing around your house? Then whack them to kill them? Then you've got to clean up, though. Yeah, the guts. But imagine your last moments just being paralyzed like,
Starting point is 01:01:09 damn it, I ate so much more I wanted to do in life. And not only that, you smell like lemon. Big lemon. And you've got a big lemony froth all about you. Who wants that? What a terrible way to go. Sounds like a way to go to me. Sounds like a good way out. That's horrible. Someone messaged in saying, do vegans use fly spray? I a terrible way to go. Sounds like a way to go to me. Sounds like a good way out.
Starting point is 01:01:25 That's horrible. Someone messaged in saying, do vegans use fly spray? I don't think they do. Oh, yeah. Maybe they just swat, but then that's still killing. They wouldn't swat. They wouldn't use fly spray. They wouldn't swat.
Starting point is 01:01:35 They just sit there with the flies around. They usher them gently out the door. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that blew my mind. They go, come on. Come on. Why don't you go outside? There's lots of bees out there. Come on, fly. Yeah. Anyway, that blew my mind. I go, come on. Come on. Why don't you come outside?
Starting point is 01:01:45 There's lots of bees out there. Come on, fly. Please. Come on. Please get out of my house. Come on now. I'm trying to cook my tofu. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:55 And then the fly's like, ah, was that, ooh, was that tofu? I'm out of here. Usually I spew up on something and eat it, but I'm just spewing it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. It is time right now. Get on. That is a joke.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Fact of the Day where we tell you how bands got their names. Today, Imagine Dragons. Imagine Dragons! Or are you talking to the dragons and you're going, hey, imagine dragons. Yeah. Or imagine dragons.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah. I don't know. I would like to ask imagine dragons. Or is it I'm a jine dragon? I'm a jine. I-E dragon. I'm a jine dragon. Well, that's actually very interesting you say that.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Oh. Hayley Jane, Patricia Arquetteley Jane Patricia Arquette Sproul. Arquette Sproul. Because their name, Imagine Dragons, is an anagram for a phrase that only is known to members of the group, which lead singer Dan Reynolds has stated every member approved of. So Imagine Dragons is an anagram of a phrase. Just the Imagine bit or Dragons as well?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Imagine and Dragons. Oh, my God. Here's the problem with that. Anagram being all the letters mixed up. Spell something else. Yes. Now, here's the problem. I went to Inge's or Ein's anagram creator.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Yep. Endless possibilities. Okay, what are some of the options? Gained organism. Okay. Orgasm. What about orgasm? Orgasm is possible if organism's in there.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Isidore manging. Imagined organs. No, there's no S in Imagine Dragon. Imagine Dragons. There's more than one dragon. Yeah. Madeira Noggins. But is there any kind of sense?
Starting point is 01:04:14 Made Organising. But here's the problem. There's over 10,000 options. We'll read them all. We've got time. Whee! Idina. Idina Menzel.
Starting point is 01:04:22 You can almost have Idina Menzel. Or can you have Adele Daze L. Does it order them by actual words? No. Most of these it orders them purely by alphabetical order. Have fans worked this out? They've got some fans?
Starting point is 01:04:40 Did you Google that? Why don't you Google it right now? Imagine Dragon names. Yeah, what anagram? Anagram. But it's only known to the band. Like, they've never said in any interviews. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Ragged Insomnia. Someone says it out of doubt. The original name is Ragged Insomnia. It's a perfect anagram and it's displayed on a sign at 0.34 seconds in a music video of theirs. Ragged Insomnia.34 seconds in a music video of theirs. Ragged Insomnia. Somebody went in. On the subreddit, r slash Imagine Dragons. I'm just going to go out and say that's a better name for the band.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Ragged Insomnia is pretty cool. Imagine Dragons makes me think of like Brave, you know, the animated series. Yeah, fantasy sort of stuff. Ragged Insomnia doesn't suit their music. No, it's more of like a death metal band. Yeah, fantasy sort of stuff. Yeah. Ragged Insomnia doesn't suit their music. No, it's more of like a death metal band name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're more of a... So do you think they went, we like that name, let's use it.
Starting point is 01:05:34 And then they put it into an anagram, Ragged Insomnia. Or maybe one of them at some stage when they're working on the music set, we've all got Ragged Insomnia. Yeah. And then they chucked it in and it came up with Imagine Dragons. Yeah. So Dan Reynolds, lead singer of Imagine Dragons, could tell us if we ever interview him.

Which we would have saved a lot of time if we would have done some research. It's Reagan and Sommier. That's Reagan and Sommier. Answered. Which we would have saved a lot of time if we would have done some research and answered. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:08 I've got this website I'm going to send you. It's called Google. It's amazing. It's going to blow your mind. I Googled to find an anagram maker and then put Imagine Dragons into an anagram maker and they said, we've stopped at 10,000 possibilities. And I was like, that's interesting enough. It was a journey.
Starting point is 01:06:20 It certainly was a journey there to get there. Yeah. And here we are. Yeah. But now we know. Now we know. Now we know. Now we know. The more you know.
Starting point is 01:06:26 On Fact of the Day Band Week, Band Name Week, is that Imagine Dragons is an anagram for ragged insomnia. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Yeah. It's the return of the impossible phone-in topic. A topic that we think is so impossible, we will be struggling to get calls. Yeah. Okay, so this story is,
Starting point is 01:07:16 I don't even know, where is this place? I think it's... Farid... It's in India, isn't it? I think it's in India. I'm going to pronounce that terribly. But this happened in India, isn't it? I think it's in India. I'm going to pronounce that terribly. But this happened in India. And it was an examination for a medical university.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Okay. So like quite intense. And a man dressed up as a friend's daughter to sit the exam. Yeah. And the man who did it was a doctor. Right. Making sense? Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:49 So he'd gone in with red lipstick, a shawl, a wig, a beanie, and a bindi. And had gone in to sit the exam. Right. He got away with it at first. Okay. Like, here you go. Now I can't get to the bottom of if there's some kind of, they have to bring a card?
Starting point is 01:08:10 Like an identification thing? No, this van pulled up four teenagers in a great day and got out. Ran some light investigation and then ripped off the wig, the shawl, the bindi to reveal who he truly was underneath. Honestly, he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids. No, it was some kind of identification mix-up
Starting point is 01:08:27 that afterwards they were like, that doesn't align. Maybe they take a photo of your identification and they looked and they were like, that's not it. Revealing that it was not this young woman sitting her medical exams. It was a man in a wig and a bindi. So why did he do it for? It doesn't say.
Starting point is 01:08:42 I guess just to help out a friend or whatnot. They're investigating it now. Probably doesn't need the money. I know. Huh. I know now this is like open up a whole can of worms with how their examination system works over there. Anyway, it has ignited in us

But if maybe you, I mean I've always dreamed of being a twin, right? And sitting in exam for a twin or like pulling the wool over someone's eyes. However you've done it, have you pretended to be someone else? Maybe to use their perks.
