Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Download the MyMackers app and earn rewards on your coffee. Good morning, welcome to the show. Fletch, Fawn and Hayley, happy Friday. Two minutes past six, you're a little late this morning, you dropped your rubbish bin. Me and my flawless technique of driving down the driveway, hanging out the window. My hand is upturned with the handle of the wheelie bin, and my elbow is pushed on the lid of the wheelie bin. That's to keep it closed.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Right. And to just push the wheels down onto the ground to stop any bouncing around. Yeah. It's a flawless technique. Yeah. Until the wheel of the wheelie bin goes under the back wheel of your car. Whoa. And then it raunches your arm around
Starting point is 00:00:45 and actively opens the lid of the wheelie bin as it hits the ground and the rubbish goes. Because do you sometimes, like obviously you put your rubbish bags from your house bin in the bin. Yes. But do you sometimes raw dog it? Hayley, I never raw dog it,
Starting point is 00:01:00 but I live with someone who loves to raw dog it. You live with raw doggers. Because sometimes I raw dog my rubbish straight into the red. Don't raw dog your bin. Because then you have to wash your bin out all the time. Yeah, it's a bin. It's supposed to be dirty. No, it's gross and it stinks and stuff gets stuck to the bottom and then it'll seep through and then they'll tip it into the truck and all the stuff will come out.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Oh, so you have to spin your... Sade raw dogs and then empties the vacuum cleaner straight in there? Yeah. So it's creating like this mega paste of meat juice and that was what was all over my hands this morning as I was just like scraping it back into the bin. Did you wash your hands before you got back in? Yeah, I went back into the house and washed my hands and went back into the room. Slam doors.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I put a pillow over Sade's face and I was just... She was about to take her final breath and I was like, God, maybe this is a slight overreaction. Maybe. I get ads, do you have a tow bar on the Jimny? No. Because I always get ads for that thing. I want that.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Do you get those? I want that. You put it on your tow bar and it drags your bins down the driveway. See, I drag the bins back up the driveway on the tow bar of the other car. The problem with this thing is though. It bounces off the tow bar occasionally. You forget. You problem with this thing is though, it bounces off the tow bar occasionally. You forget. You forget, you put the bins and you keep driving.
Starting point is 00:02:09 And you're reversing out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great way to get your rubbish emptied for free though. It's weird that you want this. You don't have a car or a rubbish bin or a driveway. Or a driveway. I don't know why I'm advertised this. But I would 100% if I had a car, a driveway and wheelie bins,
Starting point is 00:02:24 I'd get one. Yeah. I've never seen one that tows a car, a driveway and wheelie bins, I'd get one. Yeah. I've never seen one that tows two wheelie bins at once. No, they add ice all the time. Recycling does that. Recycling and the big one.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Because that's what you need. Yeah. I've got quite a short driveway compared to old morning over here. You don't need one. It would be fun. It would be overkill.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Four metres. You would back out your driveway most days. Wouldn't you? Oh, it would be a nightmare to back that thing. Coming up on the show, Beyonce has caused
Starting point is 00:02:47 something rather big in Sweden with her shows, her world tour, which is, it's not coming here, is it? She's skipping us.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I hope not. We're in recession. We can't afford it. Nobody should be coming here. We all should just be putting our bloody wallets in a locked container and leaving them there.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Well, yeah, especially after what she's done in Sweden. We'll talk about this soon. Also, the top six is on the way. The National Party infringing more copyright. Yes, this is an election year habit of the National Party who went to court with Eminem.
Starting point is 00:03:17 They ended up, it was 600 odd, but they ended up, that got down to 200,000 they paid him for using that sound-alike song. Yes, of Lose Yourself Yes. Of Lose Yourself. Yeah, Lose Yourself. So now this year, in an effort to appeal to the kids, the National Party have been doing TikToks and Instagram reels and cool memes about what terrible, terrible job the Labour Party's been doing.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, problem is they've broke copyrights. Oh, dear. They've had to take down a whole lot of their posts. They've got the top six things that the National Party disappearing TikToks had in them. I've always been into fashion. You know, I've always been a shopper, a purchaser of the clothings. I've said it on the station before and I'll say it again. I've got a passion for fashion.
Starting point is 00:04:04 She's got a pash for the fash fashion She's got a pash for the fash I've got a pash for the fash And also a little rash And a little rash You do get rashy I'm quite rashy at the moment Yeah It's this harsh water
Starting point is 00:04:15 Now you will know the brand Mischief M-S-C-H-F You well overestimate my knowledge of any brands. No, no, no, no, because you would have, even you, Vaughan, would have clocked the moment in fashion that was the big red boots. Oh, yeah, those big dumb boots. That's Mischa.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Those big dumb boots. Big dumb boots. That's them. So they're kind of like this brand that it's like it's not, it's not like, you know, daily wear or anything like that. It's art. It's conceptual. It's fashion, darling. Well, they've come anything like that. It's art. It's conceptual. It's fashion, darling.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Well, they've come out with something new. They've striked again. Struck again? Struck again. Striked. Good Lord, I'm tired. This time they've designed a handbag, a Louis Vuitton handbag, perhaps somewhat of a collab.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I don't know if it's official or not. Okay. Now, you will know that if you're into fashion, you'll know that tiny handbags are in fashion at the moment. In fact, producer Carween can we chat about the tiny handbag that's on your desk? You've got a mini one I'd say it's the size of
Starting point is 00:05:13 an old cassette tape. Yeah, so this was a gift from my mum. I'm just presenting it to the team. Look at this. You couldn't even put a phone in it. What happened? Wait, so that's a post-it note dispenser. I'm just presenting it to the team. Look at this. You couldn't even put a phone in it. Wait, so is that a post-it note dispenser? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:29 That's a great gift. I like that. That's a great gift from Catherine. Thank you. So even the post-it notes are quite fancy. They've got like a little, I don't know, detailing on them. You know, you'd say it's a good fashion. But see that size of that handbag? Like in Hollywood on the red carpet sometimes,
Starting point is 00:05:44 you'll see someone with a handbag like that. Like what? You can't. What are you putting on that? A single tampon and a single breath mint. Yeah. And that's it. And maybe you can't.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah. You just made my canal come alive. I can't breathe. Well, Mischief have created the world's first microscopic handbag. The handbag is comparable to the size of a grain of salt. However, even though it is that small, it still has the Louis Vuitton, what is it? Monogram. Monogram on it.
Starting point is 00:06:22 The logo. The logo, the VL and the flower. The VL and the flower print. Oh, no. That's a Thailand one. Look at the size of it. The seam doesn't match up. Yeah, it is a Thailand one. Look at the finger.
Starting point is 00:06:32 That's a finger. Like, literally, it's what? The size of a grain of rice. No, no, no. No, no, no. Smaller than sand. That's smaller than sand. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Smaller than sand. What are you meant to buy this for? How much? It's art, darling. Oh. You'd lose it. But people can't even see it. Yeah, but you meant to buy this for? How much? It's art, darling. Oh. You'd lose it. But people can't even see it. Yeah, but you have to have a microscope.
Starting point is 00:06:49 You'd have a big white frame and it would just be in the middle, right? And then put a magnifying glass on a string. No, you wouldn't even see it with that. You'd need a microscope. That's the only way you can see it. That's nuts. Well, I mean, you could see like a little bit. It's like fluoro green.
Starting point is 00:07:03 It's fashion, darling. It's fashion. Imagine going on the red carpet, though, and being like like this like sort of having a finger kind of weird everyone being like what's that be like it's my handbag darling it's my new Louis Vuitton yeah but um yeah you'd look ridiculous so there's only one of them so you can't actually buy it like you could buy the red boots right it's going to an exhibition in Paris oh okay. Next week it's going to be there. And then you can buy this. You can buy the one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:29 That's going to be it. Oh no, I beg your pardon. I'm absolutely full of caca. This says bidding for this unique item available worldwide will be open. Oh, so yeah, worldwide you could bid on this one thing. The one item, right? Yeah. We don't need this trend taking off because I like when we go out and I can just put my
Starting point is 00:07:45 rechargeable battery pack and my keys and wallet in your purse. It hurts my shoulders. It hurts my shoulders. Aaron does it too. He's got his vape, his wallet, his sunglasses, his keys, everything. I'm like God damn. It's a 5kg dumbbell. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Always wants to work out. Yeah, you need to do curls when you're waiting. That man is constantly doing curls. Clay, Zed M's, Fletch, Vaughn and, yeah. Well, you want to do some curls. Always wants to work out. Yeah, you needed curls when you're waiting. That man is constantly doing curls. Clay, Zed Ems, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, like most of the world and like New Zealand, Sweden has got a high rate of inflation. They have just announced that annual consumer inflation eased 9.7% in May from 10.5% the previous month. I feel like they'll be like, oh, well, you know, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:29 That's life. That's the way the cookie crumbles. That's the way the strudel crumbles. Yeah, the strudel. But they are blaming Beyonce. Good. It's about time she started paying for what she's done to society. What has she done?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Go take a strong stance against Beyonce. Have you really come out swinging there, Vogue? I don't know, man. So because she decided to kick off her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm last month, that led to a surge in hotels and restaurant bookings. Oh, putting too much into the economy. Tens of thousands of fans descended on Stockholm because they weren't just from
Starting point is 00:09:09 Stockholm already. They didn't live there, most of them, most of the fans. This is what our friend Braddy has told us. We've got to stop spending. She made more spending. We've got to stop spending. Yeah, exactly. And bitch. Yeah. I mean, I feel like she's a little bit of a scapegoat here.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Because I don't know if you could really be. I think someone I feel like she's a little bit of a scapegoat here. Yeah. Because I don't know if you could really be. I think someone broke it down to it might have been point something of a percent. Right. That she had added. That she had added because of the concerts. Yeah, but the point percent. Remember yesterday we were 0.1% and now we're freaking out.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah. It was only two sold out shows that we're talking about too. Only two. How embarrassing for her. I sold out my whole we're talking about too. Only two? How embarrassing for her. I sold out my whole comedy fest. Five shows. Five nights. How many people in total?
Starting point is 00:09:52 You actually caused inflation then. Hayley Sproul. Oh no. Escape joke. Don't point the finger. Hayley Sproul. Because the recession. Hayley Sproul.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Because you made people spend money to go see you. I did. They would have gone out to restaurants They would have bought drinks at the bar They would have bought my tickets I sold out I will wear this Well, later in the show
Starting point is 00:10:12 Because we did officially go into a recession yesterday We do have Bad News Brad on the show after 7.30 this morning Yeah, it's not all fun times and giant tractors It's truly not No, because he's been at the field days So you talked to him about what that means for us and people like Hayley who are plunging us into a
Starting point is 00:10:29 recession after 7.30. At the field days, it kind of came out yesterday that it's a recession. Field days, big day is today and the weekend. Do you reckon the people at the field days who have pumped heaps of cash and are trying to get farmers to spend money were like, maybe you could have waited till Monday? Yeah, thanks. Farmers are on the drive to the field to get farmers to spend money, we're like, maybe you could have waited till Monday. Yeah, thanks.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Farmers are on the drive to the field days and the radio's like, we've officially entered recession. They're like, and home we go. Yeah. Next on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six things that the National Party
Starting point is 00:10:56 disappearing TikToks had in them. And why have they disappeared? Yeah, they've had to delete a few. Yeah. Zach Bryan, something in the orange. ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and a few. Yeah. Zach Bryan, something in the orange. ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:11:10 blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hi there. Today's Top Six are the top six things that the National Party disappearing social posts had in them. This story was broken by News Hub who asked a whole lot of movie studios if they had given
Starting point is 00:11:26 the National Party permission to use their content in effectively an advertising campaign. Yeah. They wanted it to look like memes to be cool and relate. And this is certainly not an issue that is only with the National Party. Before I get pulled a mouthpiece to the left, every political party seems to be approaching this election using cringe memes. Now, I know that's to engage the youth,
Starting point is 00:11:49 because the youth don't vote, and if you can get the youth to vote, that's like... I said, wait, am I youth still? Oh, you're dead. I'm 33! Oh, you're dead. That's nearly dead. That's youth. You are so cringe, Aunty Hayley. Wow. Wow. You pick so cringe, Auntie Hayley. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Wow. You pick us up around the corner. Okay, we'll come to you. What happened? It's just your embarrassing car and you. Oh, my God. You are such a cringe queen. I don't know what this is.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I did a thing. I did a thing like I was wearing a crown. My cringe queen. You are such a cringe queen. Oh my God, have your kids called you a cringe queen? No. One just coined a new millennial zillennial face. You know how they love to say slay queen and withstand our king and all that junk?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah. Cringe queen. Honestly. Crown. That might be a little bit cringe. Anyway, all the political parties. It's so cringey because if you're trying to engage them, you're just driving them further away.
Starting point is 00:12:50 You're trying too hard. And these are, so there are still videos of these deleted TikToks now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a few of them. They were pretty bad. They're so cringy to watch. Now, when asked, and then they got taken down, News Hub's like, I wonder if this has the fact that we've asked,
Starting point is 00:13:07 someone's asked, now they're gone. They asked Christopher Luxon, who you'll know, obviously, is so in touch with the social media team, because when they were using AI to generate politically motivated attack posters against the Labour Party, he said, no, no, those aren't AI. And then five minutes later, he's like, they are AI. So what I meant was that he said aren't.
Starting point is 00:13:26 We typed in to make us a poster with some brown nurses please. Yeah. We need criminals cover their faces. Make them racially ambiguous. We don't want to be in trouble. Enter. Yeah. And then A, you can always
Starting point is 00:13:42 help with the fingers and the eyes. Yeah. AI never quite gets the fingers in the eyes right. Anyway, he was asked about it, if they'd taken it down because of possible copyright infringements, and we know the National Party's got a history. He said, not that I am aware of. We have a great social media program. We are embracing technology intelligently, like artificial intelligence, as we've talked about before. I think it's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah. So, the top six things that the National Party disappearing social posts had in them. Number six, somebody, a staffer put up a TikTok where Christopher Luxon's face was grew from despicable me. Now, that wasn't like, that was just, he had that taken down because he felt that was really mean. It was a personal attack. It was a personal attack. He just thought that was mean. He'd be a great grew though.
Starting point is 00:14:23 He'd be a great grew. Such a good grew. Tonight we're that was me. He'd be a great Gru, though. He'd be a great Gru. Such a good Gru. Tonight we're going to steal the moon. Yay. Gru could be the next Prime Minister. I'd vote Gru. I'd vote Gru. The minions.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Instead of Two Ticks Blue, it's Two Ticks Gru. Two Ticks Gru. That would actually be a good campaign attack. Oh, my God. Against the National Party. Two Ticks Gru. And David Seymour's a minion. David Seymour's a minion. He is a minion. Big my God. Against the National Party. Two ticks grew. And David Seymour's a minion. David Seymour's a minion.
Starting point is 00:14:45 He is a minion. Big minion energy. Number five on the list of the top six things the National Party disappearing social posts had in them. A TikTok where someone said, hey, Labour's doing a great job. And then it cuts to Borat going, not!
Starting point is 00:14:58 Oh my God. Man, pretty funny. Pretty finger on the pulse there. Number four on the list of the top six things that the National Party disappearing social posts had them. There was one, and oh my God, it was so bad. This is an actual real one, where the National Party had photoshopped
Starting point is 00:15:13 Christopher Luxon's face onto Batman's body. Yeah, and it was like, and the bat was like moving. It wasn't even done well. And it wasn't even like, it didn't even have the mask. And then like, they put Chippy's face on the Joker,
Starting point is 00:15:24 but not in a scene that was like legendarily Joker, like where he's hanging out the cop car or anything. Just like a man in a suit kind of standing there and you can't even really tell it's the Joker. And then what does that make David Seymour? Robin? He's definitely Robin. Is Chloe Swarbrick poison either?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Because she loves plants and trees and stuff. Yeah, maybe. Hot. I'll say it. Chloe Swarbrick's hot. You've got a big crush on her, don't you? I've got such a crush on her. Her and Kitty.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Kitty Allen. Kitty Allen. Well, she takes control, doesn't she? Dominant. Dominant. You know I like my boyish girls. I even think there's some right-wing subs out there that would take it from Chloe.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Absolutely. Anyway, this is a conversation for a different time. Certainly not on air. Number three on the list of the top six things that the National Party disappearing social posts had in them. They had one post taken down that was saying you could win a Range Rover if you just commented what colour you wanted it in. Yeah, okay. They shared it. They shared it.
Starting point is 00:16:21 They were also peddling Ray-Bans there for a while. Yeah. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six things that the National Party disappearing social post had in them. The last one taken down was Christopher Luxon photoshopped onto Vin Diesel's body. Oh, yeah. It took quite a while for everybody to notice,
Starting point is 00:16:37 but then he said it's all about family, and everyone was like, well, that's the giveaway. That's it, yeah. He doesn't like, it's all about business. Money. That would have been the one And number one on the list Of the top six things
Starting point is 00:16:47 The National Party Disabroking social posts Had in them Nipples One where they were all like Kind of like Vote for me Check out my nips
Starting point is 00:16:54 And Facebook Women as well Women's nips Everybody Social media They famously don't But you put nipples up Yeah sorry
Starting point is 00:17:00 I mean I actually think Of all their ideas That was probably politically Their strongest Online presence Left leaning With all those nipples Yeah yeah These are our nipples Yeah, sorry. I mean, I actually think of all their ideas, that was probably politically their strongest online presence. Yeah, and actually quite left-leaning with all those nipples. Yeah, yeah, these are nipples. Regardless of gender.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Vote for them. And that's obviously a no-go. You can't have nipples online. You simply can't. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:17:24 We've talked about upper pole fullness before, haven't we? We've talked about what? The ideal breast. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they did a study. They did a study. The most appealing, the roundness and fullness above the nipple. Above the nipple line.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, right. Moderately sized, more volume above the nip. So you've got a list. Somebody's worked out the biggest boobs like per country on average. We're on the list. We are on the list. But holy moly, these boobs are small. Now, I'm not boob shaming.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I'm not saying small, but they're not. You didn't say bad. You just said small. Yeah. It's so strange. When I was a teenager, I had no boobies. Like nothing at all. And they were not arriving either.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And my friends, like everyone wanted boobies. I was like, I'm going to get a boob job one day. And now, because the fashion was big boobies. And now the fashion's kind of small boobies. And big booby girls are like, oh, God, they're a pain in the anus. Now, you know me. I've had small boobs. And in the last two years, they've become big boobs.
Starting point is 00:18:25 And I understand. Both are fun. Both are annoying. But the biggest ones I'm like, huh. So New Zealand is on this list of the on average biggest boobs in the world. Do they measure them or are they just using like bra sizes? Bra sizes
Starting point is 00:18:41 but sizing of bras they've used, they've got measurements and then they converted them to American sizing, which is what we use, 12B or 14DD or whatever. Yeah. So the number usually equates to the width around the back and then the cup size is the cup. That's the matter.
Starting point is 00:19:00 That's the matter, the breast matter. So this is based on cup size. All breast matters. All breast matters. All breast matters. All breasts matters. Yeah, that's it. But... Oh, sorry, we're talking about boobs and I'm just...
Starting point is 00:19:10 I can't think straight. I can't get my words right. God, you're getting quite flustered. I like them. There's so many. They are fun. I like them. Let's go to my little pet.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Because breasts are 50% fat and 50% glandular tissue. So because of the 50% fat, if you are bigger in general, then you would have bigger boobs. That's why my boobs got so juicy and fun. Yeah. It's because everything else got a bit more juicy and fun. Right. Honestly, they're incredible.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah. They're fun here for a short time, not for a Right. Honestly, they're incredible. Yeah. They're fun here for a short time. Yeah. Not for a long time, but they're fun. Okay. So, like, countries with higher, in general, BMIs, which is a number I hate, but, you know, heavier set countries
Starting point is 00:19:54 often had bigger burps. So, anyway, we're number 17. Okay. Out of all the countries. Out of all the countries in the world. Right. Out of 80 countries they did. And what's the average size in New Zealand?
Starting point is 00:20:06 For us, they've gone like, because you can be a B and then have a big B, a little B, whatever, but we're a B. Now, I'm a B at my absolute smallest, and then that's a petite boob. Right. Quite a petite boob. Right at the bottom, I'll give the 79th and 80th, and this is, they think, well, it's because they're very small and petite. Yep. Bangladesh in 79 and an 80th, Vietnam, both with double As.
Starting point is 00:20:35 That's your smallest. Great battery, though. Good. Great. I prefer a triple A. No, triple A is my favorite. Triple A is so fun. Should we do final rankings batteries?
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yes. What a great idea. AAA is so fun. Should we do final rankings batteries? Yes! What a great idea. Because, you know, I love sticking my tongue on a 9-volt. I love chewing it. That's madness. I chew a AA. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I chew a AA, but not a AAA because they're too thin. What do you mean you chew a AA? When your AA's are running out of battery a bit of a munch.
Starting point is 00:21:00 That's not a thing. It gets way more out of them. No, that's not a thing. It is a thing. I wouldn't be putting that in your mouth. Okay, stay tuned. At some point we'll do that. Well, yeah, we've already got our final rankings for this week.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Maybe next week. So we'll do that, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so we're 17th. I'll give you the top 10. Well, they're all kind of hanging in the BC area. Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, Colombia, Venezuela, United Kingdom,
Starting point is 00:21:26 between a B.C. Sorry, Vaughan, I don't know if your mic was working. What did you just say? I just nodded. Oh, right, okay. What I did is I just took a little bit, it was bad timing on my behalf, I took a little extra saliva I had in my mouth with my tongue. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Because you just looked really excited and you perked up. Was it when I said Colombia, Venezuela? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what was before Colombia? Sweden. Yeah, I, yeah, yeah. And what was before Colombia? Sweden. Yeah, I mean, come on. And what was before Sweden? Netherlands.
Starting point is 00:21:50 We're on a roll. Okay. Okay, and then heading into the C, the top five, United Kingdom in five, but cup size, right? I don't know that they've differentiated between organic boobs and implants. Because when you said big boobs in the UK, I just imagined, all right, love, what will it all be? Like an old woman down the pub.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And she was like, flopped her massive knockers on the bar and they're like, tops of the wind. She's like, Fosters, is it boy? Yeah. So I'm thinking some of these knockers, because number four, United States. I'm thinking United Kingdom, United States.

Starting point is 00:26:06 Yes. I don't need to know it. But you still need to know the code. Yeah, which that's the one I remember. Yeah. I had to call the bank to get a new one issued because I was breastfeeding because I'd buy so much random shit in the night
Starting point is 00:26:19 while I was breastfeeding. The guy from the bank understood, and apparently I wasn't the first. Well, breastfeeding makes you spend money. Well, no, you're just sitting there breastfeeding. The guy from the bank understood, and apparently I wasn't the first. What? Breastfeeding makes you spend money. Well, no, you're just sitting there breastfeeding, and you're like, you can't, like, be loud or anything, so you've got to silently be buying things.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Right, silently purchasing. Sarah said, my online shopping rule is if I can get the number right first time by heart, I can buy it. That's good. I've never learned anything connected to numbers so fast in my life.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Catherine said, I have made a conscious decision not to learn it because otherwise I would find it too easy to spend the money. Molly said I barely even know my PIN. Stupid pay wave. If a place doesn't have pay wave and you're like... But surely everyone's PIN's the same from when they were like... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:02 First got their EFTPOS card, right? Yes. Yes. Since I was 10. Yeah. Someone said, I memorized my debit card, but that was bad, so now I've memorized my husband's credit card. Better.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Way better. Problem solved. If you're married to someone called Jess or Devin, they both have memorized your card and they're trying to steal all the money. Not to brag, but I know both of mine and my work one, says Brittany. She can remember three 16-digit pins. I'd like to cross now to the social media desk, Shanley Pajamas. Shannon, you get your pin wrong all the time.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I've only used my pin maybe 10 times in my life, and I always get it wrong. I don't know. It's just from a paywave generation. Is it the same pin you've always had? No, but I just haven't had to use a pin much. So I had one, and then I had to get a new card so I changed it to my anniversary but I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:27:48 So what is your pin? One. One, two, three, four. It's an anniversary and I never know if it's a month or a day or I don't know. I literally never use my pin. No.
Starting point is 00:28:03 She said anniversary. You're thinking of Annabelle. It's of terror attacks. Yeah, it's 3109, the day we lost Princess Di. And if I need a six-digit pin, it's 310997. R.I.P. the people's princess. R.I.P. cheers to Princess Di. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:28:22 It's the final rankings. Okay, forget horoscopes. Yep. It's Monopoly pieces. Yeah. What Monopoly piece do you prefer? I have found a Marketplace.org 2013 article called What Does Your Monopoly Token Say About You?

Normally we do food. Yeah. I'm happy to branch out to a non- you. So we're going to rank them. This is how final rankings work. Normally we do food. I'm happy to branch out to a non-edible. There's a bit of debate,
Starting point is 00:28:49 but I don't think everyone had the bucking horse, so I think we should include the boat, the hat, the boot. The boat was the battleship, right? The battleship, the hat, the boot, the dog, the wheelbarrow, the car, the iron, and the thimble. Eight. Did you have the cannon in there? Nah, because cannon and horse wasn't in everything. iron, and the thimble. Eight. Did you have the cannon in there? Nah, because cannon and horse wasn't in everything.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I forgot about the thimble. That was a weird one, eh? Yeah. Shannon's a thimble. Shannon's a thimble. She's a crafty mole. But that was always the one you gave to your mum. Your mum had to have the iron or the thimble.
Starting point is 00:29:17 The original ones don't include the horse and the cannon, so we won't. Okay. I feel like I like hat. There they all are. I feel like I like hat. You like all are. I feel like I like hat. You like hats? Because it was posh. It was posh hat.
Starting point is 00:29:29 It was posh. And it also just looked like a good mover around the board. It's a good to hold on to. It had a thick base and a top that was easy to grab to move around. Yeah. It looked like a playing piece more than an item of. Right. So I think that would be my number one.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Your hat. I'm almost going boot, but also the iron was fun to move. Because it had a little handle. It had a little handle, but the gender stereotypes of me choosing the iron, I just can't have it. That's okay because you've chosen it for a reason,
Starting point is 00:29:59 not because of the patriarchy. Okay. In fact, you choosing it takes it away from the patriarchy. Reclamation. This is in 1992, we're it takes it away from the patriarchy. Reclamation. This is in 1992 and not at the Mount and it's not raining so we're stuck inside playing Monopoly and we say to Mum, you have to be the iron. To which Christine's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Because she didn't really give a damn anyway. She had some spuds on. She was half invested in the game. I never saw it as being like a piece for females to use. I just like you Va've won, I just like the handle and the ease of moving it around the board. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I would go, I mean, I don't want to say the dog because the dog feels too obvious. It's the cutest thing. It's the best. It's a stupid little dog. I'm going to go the boot, number one. Then I'm going to go the dog. Then I'm going to go the iron.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Okay, I'm going to go, number one's got to be the car because you're driving around the streets. You're going faster. Yeah. You're driving around the iron.

Starting point is 00:30:54 Yeah, you do. Tokyo drift. You Tokyo drift around the jail corner. The sound effects as well. Yeah. Then I'm going to go the hat, because as we've discussed, very hard to tip the hat. Yes. Very hard. It's got a good base on it. And then third, I'm going to go the dog, as we've discussed very hard to tip the hat. Yes. Very hard. It's got a good base on it and then third I'm going to
Starting point is 00:31:08 go the dog just because it was cute. It was cute. It was a little Scotty dog. I'm going to go hat, wheelbarrow because I like to wheel around my money. Yeah. I always poo-pooed the wheelbarrow. It's cute. It's cute though and then I'm going to go car because like you, you'd go
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. Okay, so what was your number one? I'll tell you what number one says about it. Hat. Hat tied for the second most popular piece chosen by one in five Monopoly players or 20%. Hat players tend to be introverted in real life but the game is a great escape for them where they can be a little more dominating than in real life.
Starting point is 00:31:40 These players don't mind drawing attention to themselves or being controversial in the game and play very strategically. One more time. Strategically. They also tend to calculate the odds of a financial return before making an investment. This is you.
Starting point is 00:31:53 That's you to a T. That's me to a T, isn't it? I don't know if I'd call him an introvert. I'm kind of a mix between intro and outrovert. Intro, outro. You're bi-troverted. I'm bi-troverted. A uni-vert.

What was your number one again? The boot, baby. The boot. People who choose this token tend to be discriminating. One in 16 people chose the boot. No one to some is the shoe.
Starting point is 00:32:17 They tend to be generous but easily riled. I'm so easily riled. They have long memory and tend to remember when they've been crossed. More females than males chose the token. Because we've got a passion for fashion. Car. This is my number one. The most popular token, preferred by a quarter of Monopoly players.
Starting point is 00:32:33 One in four. People who choose to attend it will be outgoing, friendly, versatile and adaptable. He is versatile. He is. Top and bottom. People who chose the car tend to be male and very passionate. Yep. That's me. That is you.

Starting point is 00:41:31 What? Out of the cannon. Really great save, you two. Really great save. Well, yesterday the big R word got cranked out again. I don't know when we last had the R word, but he will know. The word, recession. The man, Brad Olsen.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Bad news, Brad. Well, I don't even know if he's the one delivering the bad news. Is recession a good morning, Brad? I believe you're at the agricultural field days. I am. I'm just outside of Hamilton at the moment, and hopefully my slightly crackly line is holding up. No, that's a beautifully clear line.
Starting point is 00:42:06 You've done very well there. I saw a photo of you in a giant tractor, Brad. It was enormous. That thing had a tyre that was taller than I am. Yeah, big tyres. You're not a small man either. You're not short. You want to be careful.
Starting point is 00:42:21 People get horny when they see men like you in tractors, Brad. Now, Brad, when was the last time New Zealand was officially in recession? We had a recession at the start of COVID-19. Funnily enough, that's what happens when you shut down the economy and everyone has to go home. However, before lockdown, the other recession, or the most recent recession before that, was back around the global financial crisis.
Starting point is 00:42:43 So back in the sort of early 2010s, it came through and hit us. Although I think, you know, look, yes, we are technically in a recession, although the numbers yesterday were just by the skin of their teeth. There was a 0.7% fall in economic activity at the end of last year. This year, first three months of 2023, down 0.06%. That's rounded up to 0.01% in terms of a decline. But it was pretty marginal, to be fair. And so I think talking to people, it's not feeling like a normal recession. You don't normally have more people trying to add more jobs as you enter a recession.
Starting point is 00:43:18 So is it a bad thing, or is this what was the desired result out of cranking interest rates up well exactly and that's the thing the reserve bank told us pretty clearly not only did they think the recession was going to happen they were trying their damnedest to make it happen so i mean bullseye well done uh reserve bank you've got exactly what you wanted um i think it's interesting as well though when you look through the figures and this is where i think you know households people on the ground are going to be seeing this a lot more, is that your money's not going quite as far. And so when we've looked through the spending figures, we know that sort of larger, what economists call durable items, so stuff you don't have to replace all that much, spending on that 1990, if you exclude the lockdown figures. For more consumable short-term stuff, sort of, you know, food and that that you eat
Starting point is 00:44:09 and you can't use again, it's the sort of thing that's gone down 6%. That's the largest fall on record since 1988, excluding lockdown. So, you know, the recession numbers, I think there's a lot of ups and a lot of downs, but for households on the ground that are starting to feel it, that mood is coming through a lot clearer now. Now, the agricultural field days where you are at the moment sells a lot of downs, but for households on the ground that are starting to feel it, that mood is coming through a lot clearer now.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Now, the Agricultural Field Days, where you are at the moment, sells a lot of those sorts of items that don't need replacing all that often. So would they have liked the R word to have waited till Monday, perhaps? I don't think it matters too much about the announcement of the R word. Of course, that's for the first three months of 2023. I mean, that's already three months old, just about. But that sentiment of people being a little bit more restrictive around their spending and similar was certainly coming through at field days.
Starting point is 00:44:51 You know, a lot more people, I think, window shopping rather than actually shopping. I talked to one guy who, you know, talked my ear off for about five minutes before I could even get in the front gate about how challenging things were and then told me he'd bought a tractor worth probably about $140,000 or something. So there's still some people spending, but certainly not everyone. So that was
Starting point is 00:45:10 like the farmer version of Hayley, really, who's got another, who's got a store card, Brad. She's got a store card. Look, all I can say is Hayley, we've talked about this before. He's not angry, he's just disappointed. Oh, Brandy, don've talked about this before. He's not angry, he's just disappointed.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Oh, Brandy, don't be disappointed in me. I'm not being disappointed. All I'm saying is that I think we need to come up with sort of a list of needs and wants here a little bit more. It's such a fine line, need and want for me. It is such a fine line. So for the
Starting point is 00:45:41 everyday person, can we expect like food prices to come down anytime soon? Did they just like recently, have they stalled in the last month or is that still up and up and up? Well, and so this is a real challenge I think for economists when we try and explain things is that prices still went
Starting point is 00:45:57 up, they just didn't go up as fast as they previously did. So I think we look at the food price index for example, it's still up 12.1% over the last year. Now, that's slightly better than 12.5%. It doesn't mean that things are going down, it just means they're not rocketing up at quite the same frantic
Starting point is 00:46:14 pace. So not a huge amount of good news there, but I guess for people, you know, again, you're wanting to see things moving in the right direction. You're wanting to see all those inflationary pressures starting to, again, not necessarily fall, but ease back a direction. You're wanting to see all those inflationary pressures starting to, again, not necessarily fall, but ease back a bit. We're putting
Starting point is 00:46:29 our foot off the accelerator. That's moving in the right direction. Is that bad news, Brad, with some slightly good news? Look, I'll take it. I think all the listeners will take it. Is this tide turn, Brad? Look, it's not all good news.
Starting point is 00:46:46 People are still feeling the challenge. And look, I can't do a lot about that. But I think hopefully people are looking at these things, they're looking at their spending a little bit more carefully. Maybe it's not a needs and a wants list. Maybe it's I used to buy three things to make me feel good a week. Maybe it's only two now. I can do that.
Starting point is 00:47:03 But the two things at the same price as the two of the three. You can't just buy two things at the same price as the three. Two slightly more expensive dresses. No, no, no, you're not quite following Brad here. He's effectively saying two thirds of the price spent on... So it's not about mass. It's about cost. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:19 There we are. Okay. Brad Olsen, Chief Executive and Principal Economist at Infometrics. Thank you so much. That's a flash title. I know. It's a flash title, Brad. I can't believe we've got a friend that has that title.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Thanks, team. It's been good to chat again. Are you going to be hitting us with some more hot, erotic farming content on the gram today, Brad? That's me for field days. I went this year. I put my muddy red bands on and went for a day. And I've learned two things about red bands. Sorry, two things for field days I went this year I put my muddy red bands on and went for a day and I've learnt two things
Starting point is 00:47:46 about red bands sorry two things about field days first thing is that when it's not muddy and it's not this year the red bands might have been a little bit of overcool
Starting point is 00:47:54 although they look pretty cool the second thing is it's a four day event for a reason I got around like none of it yesterday so next year I'm going to put it in the diary
Starting point is 00:48:02 and come back for a few more yeah we'll come with you. Good stuff, good stuff. Brad Olsen, thank you so much. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Okay, Google's got a new feature. And they're doing this because they're trying to combat
Starting point is 00:48:15 the power of the chat GPT. Yeah, okay. Right, because people don't go to Google now. They'll just ask chat GPT. Yeah. You still have to go to Google to find this chat GPT, which I've never used, right? I've still not dipped a toe. I've started. I'm a bit afraid. Vaughn, you've been ask ChatGPT. Yeah. You still have to go to Google to find this ChatGPT, which I've never used, right? I've still not dipped a toe. I've started.
Starting point is 00:48:27 I'm a bit afraid. It's so good. I mean, it's bad, but it's good. I'm too scared. But now that this, Google's doing something like this, I could get into it. So I'm trying to understand it, and I know that producer Carween understands this better. It's
Starting point is 00:48:43 to help women with online shopping. I'm hooked in. I'm hooked in. To see the clothing on a body more similar to your own. Is that right Carween? Yeah, so like I think sometimes when we're shopping there can be diverse models and that's awesome. You mean
Starting point is 00:48:59 to skinny bitches eh? Everyone's skinny. No, like New Zealand brand Ruby, who I love. Oh, yeah. They often show their clothing on a size 8 and a size 16, which is awesome. But sometimes, like, I'm in the middle, right? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:13 And so sometimes that's not necessarily the fit. And so this Google AI is going to give you that. Yes, you can take, so say you're on the Ruby website and you see a dress and you're like, well, I'm a 12 or a 14 and she's an 8 or an 18. Yep. Then you can like upload it to this thing. But do you take a photo, would you,
Starting point is 00:49:32 this is how the technology's going, you'll take a photo of yourself. I think that they might just have like stock. Yeah. But then there's different size, like there's variation even between if you're a size 12, right? You might be. Yeah, so you, I don't think yet that you'd go, I'm a size 12
Starting point is 00:49:48 Because size 12 means a thousand things But that you would put that image of the dress that you liked Into this search engine that they've created And it would show you a bunch of different size women All different sizes In either that dress or a dress similar. Oh, wow. So then you could go, okay, well, that shape of dress
Starting point is 00:50:08 on more my body type still looks banging. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? You could also do it if you bought a dress that fit perfectly and then it would search similar items. Yeah, totally. Yeah, oh, my God. Yeah, a black sack.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'm going to use this for the black sack. Yeah. You know I'm always on the hunt for the perfect black sack. And now... Not the black plastic rubbish bag that people line their bins with. Those are great. That's a black he-wee. I'm also on the hunt for the perfect one of those.
Starting point is 00:50:34 But no, I'm talking about the throw-on dress. I want one that I don't feel bad about using, the biodegradable one, but I want it to be thicker. But I want it to be thicker. I want to be able to chuck it over my shoulder. They stretch, and if you get a little bit of suction when you're packing the bin, and it gets a bit of suction on the bin,
Starting point is 00:50:49 you're pulling it out, and it's stretching, and you're like, oh! And you put your fingers down the side to let a little air in it. The power of corn in that moment. Corn starch. You're like, please. Really holds it all together.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Please, corn. Anyway, I think this is a cool thing, and I will definitely be searching. I'm continuing my search for the perfect black sack. Oh, yeah, give it a few more years and yeah I reckon you'll be able to take a photo of yourself
Starting point is 00:51:08 yeah and put yourself into all these online shopping I'm sure there's something you can do that some way you could do that did we
Starting point is 00:51:14 did you just come up with an incredibly money making idea you don't need any more excuses to be spending money tune in for Add to Cart
Starting point is 00:51:24 after 8 o'clock where we're featuring a New Zealand designer that I've officially fallen in love with and now they've got one of the most perfect black sex movies
Starting point is 00:51:30 I've ever seen in my life. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. What do you want to say? What do you want to say about my purchase? You want to attack her? What?
Starting point is 00:51:40 Hayley has... Come at me, bruh. You want a fussy? Hayley has... I want a fussy. What's a fussy? A fight. Did you guys not have Do You Want a bruh. You want a fussy? Hayley has... I want a fussy. What's a fussy? A fight. Did you guys not have...
Starting point is 00:51:48 Do you want a fussy? What's a fussy? No. It was huge in Wellington. Do you want a fussy? You want a fussy with me? Fussy? F-A-S-I?
Starting point is 00:51:53 F-U-S-S-Y. I don't want a fussy. Why do you want to get fussy? Oh my God, fussy was always... In Wellington it was always, do you want a fussy? Are you sure it's not... You want a fussy? It sounds like some on.
Starting point is 00:52:04 No, no. Not like F-A-S-I. F-A-S-I. Okay. Do you want a fussy? Are you sure it's not? You want a fussy? It sounds like Samoan. No, no, not like F-A-S-I. F-A-S-I. Okay. Do you want a fussy? No. No, it is! To beat! Fussy in Samoan is to beat! Oh my god! I thought it was F-U-S-S-Y. We've said it our whole lives. If you had a fussy, you would be to beat. I don't want a fussy.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Do you want a fussy? I don't want a fussy. Well, then don't come at me. This is the problem when you grow up in white Morrinsville. You miss out on this rich Polynesian culture. I've been threatened with a fussy. Now, any time, if Sade annoys you, you ask her. I'm sorry, do you want a fussy? I might unlock something.
Starting point is 00:52:39 She's done the DNA test. She's got quite a bit of Polynesian. Good fun. Hot. Yesterday it came to our attention that Hayley had purchased from Instagram while scrolling a what's the official name of this thing? A body sculpt cup. When I say it, I hate myself.
Starting point is 00:52:57 A body sculpt cup. It's got the three words that will guarantee to grab a woman's, and I don't mean to tie every woman with this brush. No, no, but I'm with you. But a woman's attention. Body. I've got one of those.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yep. I'm always thinking about it. Yep. Sculpt. I want that, and I want the easy way of doing it. And cup. Can't get enough of cups. All forms of cups.
Starting point is 00:53:18 All forms of cups. Now, Hayley yesterday showed us this, and we were like, oh, okay. And then you revealed. There's a little rubber thing. Yeah, you revealed the price. And this is Vaughn and I's reaction yesterday off air in studio to finding out the price of this cup. Hayley, you bro!
Starting point is 00:53:37 Oh, my God! It's a piece of rubber! It's society making me do it! It's 10 cents worth! Are you kidding me? Oh, Hayley. Wait, wait. How often are we going to be playing off your stuff on here now?
Starting point is 00:53:51 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Very, very early. Like we sounded like disappointed parents. Very disappointed. Okay, look. How much did this cost? First of all, tell us what it does. Okay, so the body sculpt car.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Bioti Spa's innovative body sculpt car mimics the palpate and roll French massage. You suck it on your body, suck it, and you pull it around, and it's supposed to get blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and minimise cellulite. Now, I saw it. Now, the the video the image that this is advertising it's being used on a very tight thigh
Starting point is 00:54:29 and I've always had great legs but of late I've noticed more cellulite and I've got no problem with cellulite remember when Aaron
Starting point is 00:54:35 tried to rub it out because he thought it was a mark I'll always embrace it but I was like hell you know this looks like a bit of fun and you did point out
Starting point is 00:54:44 the reviews were very good. Reviews are huge. Although they were... Like, I love working a trend, skin tone hurts, sometimes massively reduce appearance of scars, because I've got lots of, like, little vein things and stuff. Because it's like a suction cup that you push on, it's rubber. Why do people these days have varicose veins as much as they used to?
Starting point is 00:55:01 I don't know. I don't know. Because they get rid of them. But how much did this cost? Tell people how much. With shipping? 80 bucks. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:55:11 It's half a tennis ball. It's from Australia. It's from Australia. You could have just halved the tennis ball. Half one of those tennis balls. Yeah, but since then I've had so much fun.
Starting point is 00:55:19 So one, we all massaged our cellulite yesterday and I've got to tell you what, day two, no difference. But then I realised that it's very satisfying. Look at that. It sucksulite yesterday. I've got to tell you what, day two, no difference. But then I realised it's very satisfying. Look at that, sucks onto the chin. I know, she's been playing with it and popping it on her chin
Starting point is 00:55:31 and I'm just waiting for the time she pulls it off. She's got a chin, a wide hickey. I also put it on my nerve tingle like a cupping, like, you know, Chinese cupping, which I love. Because I was going to say it's the same principle of cupping, right? Yeah, yeah. It's as, it doesn't give- It's like drawing blood to the area, which south heels the body.
Starting point is 00:55:48 But it doesn't give you the big hickeys like cupping does. No, yeah. If you look at my leg from yesterday, there's some bruising, but it's not as tight. You can't get it as tight. Right. But I bought it,
Starting point is 00:55:57 because Instagram told me that having satellite was not okay. And for a moment of weakness, I said, you're right, and I'll buy this and I'll suck it all off. And how's it going for you yep well tbc but i doubt i'm gonna be writing i'm 52 i've got great skin but not on my thighs after losing weight i cannot believe the difference after using this body sculpt cup when you read that out does that sound like the company wrote that themselves really feels like it it really does. Sade's a sucker
Starting point is 00:56:26 for these. She bought that little mini vacuum cleaner. Granted, it did work until I used it to try to get a charcoal barbecue to go in reverse. I put it in reverse and used it as a blower not a sucker. Yeah, that's on you. You broke that. Yeah, that killed it. But that wasn't as expensive as
Starting point is 00:56:41 this 20 cent piece of rubber. Well, you know, I've done know, I've been sucked in by lots of Instagram. Remember that you tried on my bodysuit, the viral bodysuit that's supposed to drag off a size of clothing? Yeah. Didn't. But Vaughn looked great in it. Can I have it?
Starting point is 00:56:57 With the dome crotch and the high... I'm after an easy one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm after an easy one. It did make it look a bit like a Ken doll. Kind of flat and everything. No, no, that wasn't that. That's just like a Ken doll. It did kind of flatten everything. No, that wasn't that. Everything was Ken.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Severe lack of genitals. It's like so flat and smooth. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it too much, but that had nothing to do with the body. Well, I want to know when Instagram or targeted advertising absolutely sucked you in. The shittier the product, the better too. Like I got sucked into buying this $80 rubber plastic device.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Which, by the way, you're also telling everybody to use. So now it's been on everyone's legs in the office. Yeah. Oh, it has. I know. We've all sucked our cellulite off with this. Maybe just give it a rinse. But 0800-DARZEN, we want to take your calls.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Text in as well, 9696. What advertising, what Instagram advertising absolutely sucked you in? What purchase did you make? And bonus if you got it and then you realise, oh, this is rubbish. It's junk.
Starting point is 00:57:53 And you never used it. You used it once. The best ones, when you send, it's like free today. All you have to pay for is for postage. Shipping, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:01 And you're like, what have I got to lose? And postage is $24. You're like, I see what's happening here. $ipping, yeah. And you're like, what have I got to lose? And postage is $24. You're like, I see what's happening here. I've got $24 to lose. You got suckered into buying this $20. Sallie Light Sucker.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Sallie Light Sucker, which probably cost about two cents to make. Rubber. And honestly, the worst part about spending 80 bucks on this is it goes against everything I stand for with body image and advertising and all of this. I literally
Starting point is 00:58:30 yelled in the clip before that society made me buy this. And I'm feeding it. And I regret it. But we want to know the thing that you brought off of Instagram advertising. You're not the only one that's been suckered in. God no, some of these are making me laugh so much. Nicole, what did you of these are making me laugh so much.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Nicole, what did you get sucked into buying? Oh, my God. So, hi, guys. Wait a minute. Are you a high-sounded, like, a long-time listener, first-time caller? Can I ding the bell? Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:01 No, wait, wait. Don't you take the bell lightly. Have you been on the show before? Well, I have it on Bree's show, but not yours. Oh, not either. No, that's technically us. Well, that's technically a long-time list of first-time viewers. Yeah, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Welcome, welcome. And thank you for listening to us all day. It's so honoured to be here, guys. It's an honour to have you. It's an honour to have you. It's an honour. Now, what did you get sucked into buying, Nicole? Well, it was one of those hair things that you put around your head like a halo.
Starting point is 00:59:29 It has these things. It's satin. And it has these legs. It's like an octopus. An octopus. An octopus. I imagine when you said octopus, I imagined an octopus that looked like a horse. Nicole, I bought this.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Did you? I bought this. Did you? I bought this. I've got thin, fine hair. I was like, I want an easy styling thing. The girlies at the desk have all bought this. You bought them? How much are these things? The headless curlers.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Oh, like 30 bucks or something. Wait, so how did that work? You'd sit it on your head like an octopus and you wrap your hair around it. It's a noodle that goes over your head. Yeah, it's kind of like a noodle. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:06 But also, this one has legs, so they drop down. Yeah. And then you twirl them around, and then I woke up in the morning, and I look like a freaking scarecrow. You sleep in this strangle contraption. Yeah, it's a heatless curler. I do. I worry that you may be the last time calling
Starting point is 01:00:25 this thing gets its way on a Friday night. Nicole, thank you for your call. Alex, what did you get suckered into buying? You was a bit of a sassy one on the line. So this is like a best and worst purchase.
Starting point is 01:00:42 So best purchase ever. It was like a lighter that I bought for my partner for $50. Like, why would you spend that much money? But anyway, it was all fancy. It has like a light on it, a flint. It's waterproof. It's electric. So you just
Starting point is 01:00:58 charge it. Oh, so you'll never run out of gas. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But the worst part about this stupid thing is that it's electric and it arcs. So he's now figured out that it acts like a taser. And every minute he gets, he chases me around the house with it. Like, how does that happen? Like, electrocuting you.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Yeah. How much of a shock does it give? Oh, like, a pretty decent one. I mean, I think it's, like, he's a sparky, so it's nothing to him. But, yeah, it's quite decent one. I mean, I still just like, he's a sparky, so it's nothing to him. But yeah, it's quite decent. Dude, dude. How crazy is it when electricians like... Get a spark.
Starting point is 01:01:30 They get shocked all the time. Oh, I had one at my house and I just heard this big... And I was like, when... And he's like, ow, ow. That is life. Ow. Oh God, that got me. You all right?
Starting point is 01:01:41 Their hair's all on the end. Their skin's all dark. And I'd be... If it was me, I'd be crying. I'd be like, ah. Alex, thank you so much for your call. Let's go to Karen. Karen, what did you get suckered into buying online?
Starting point is 01:01:55 Well, a couple of years ago, I saw these beautiful, luxurious, knitted rugs. And, you know, the photo, you know, somebody was lazing in it. It looked amazing. So I bought four of them for Christmas. Jesus, one at a time. Oh, you didn't want to just buy one? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:12 It's like, you know, share the love, share the love. Okay. So $189 each. And when they turned up, they were vacuum packed. And I opened them up and they were the size of a face cloth. For $189 each? Yeah, yeah. So the measurements on them, they said to me, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:31 read the fine print, and the measurements were actually in millimetres. Oh, darling. Oh, no. So 187 millimetres is about 18 centimetres. Wow. So you were expecting in near two metre rug? Oh, 100%. Yeah, they did offer to replace them to send new ones,
Starting point is 01:02:51 but, you know, didn't really see the point. Well, no, keep sending, keep sending, keep sending. You could sew them all together and make one big rug. A quilt situation. Well, yeah, could have done, could have done, but no, decided not to. Always got to check the sizes, especially with these dodgy, some of these dodgy sites. Thank you, Karen.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Some messages in. What did you get suckered into buying online? My wife bought that sleep mask from Australia that has silicon on the back, and it's supposed to remove wrinkles while you sleep. $130 Australian dollars later and hours of me laughing at her foolishness, and the wrinkles are still there. Okay. I bought silicone patches.
Starting point is 01:03:26 What do they stick under your eyes? Nah, they're like, there's like, yeah, like under your eyes, on your forehead, on your thingy, on your chest.
Starting point is 01:03:33 I bought it for the chest. Remember, I got quite conscious about my chest is getting old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your chest has increased aging so it hasn't fixed it. Nope. Somebody said,
Starting point is 01:03:42 has anyone seen the 10-way necklace on Facebook? The 10-way necklace? No. It's a way of one necklace that can be worn 10 ways. Don't Google it! Oh, it'll come up all the time.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Jesus, don't Google any of these things. Oh, don't Google these things. You will never escape it. Oh, this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Well, this person said they've got about 10 of them now. Oh, Hayley, take that back. Sorry, we've just got different sense of fashion. I've ever seen. Well, this person said they've got about 10 of them now. Oh, Hayley, take that back. Oh, sorry. We've just got different sense of fashion.
Starting point is 01:04:07 I've got some. I'm kidding, but my darling, messaging in, these are so expensive. What is wrong with you? I've got a blue neck sponge thing that helps sort out
Starting point is 01:04:18 your back neck hump. That doesn't work. Oh, I've seen that. Costs 100 bucks. What? When people would like talk about the lump that women can get there.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Okay. My son bought a newborn, a reborn doll for $120. I think he was going to get a soft baby looking doll. The thing was hideous, hard, and he was very disappointed. He threw it in the bin, but we kept it. We got it out of the bin and we're hiding it so we can bring it out on his 21st birthday. Wait, what? Oh, okay, right.
Starting point is 01:04:42 How old is this boy? I don't know. A teenager? I don't know. Weird? I don't know. A teenager? I don't know. Weird. I don't know. Each to their own? A tidal hair waver.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Oh, yeah, that was big. Mermaid hair. Shannon's got one. Used it twice, burnt myself both times. It always looked like I was dragged backwards out of a bush. I bought an LED red light therapy wand for my face. Pretty sure it was just a red bulb, but I got the buy one, get one free. Why I would need two, I do not know.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Now my room is a red light district. I'm pretty sure that does nothing. Yeah. $80 US dollars on detox tea. Never got it. Just get free tea. After waiting, I went on Instagram to see all the comments. Everyone's saying it's a scam.

Starting point is 01:07:25 Oh. Javert is the one chasing him. That's Russell. run? Yeah. No, no, no. That's Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman's on the run. Jean Valjean. Oh. Javert is the one chasing him. That's Russell. That's Russell. Sounds boring. No, it's not me. Does Wolverine beat the gladiator in the end? Does he beat him?
Starting point is 01:07:37 Kind of. Okay. Oh, so you didn't tell us the end. It's a miserable story. Well, I'm not going to this if it's miserable. It's called The Miserable. You know what musical you would love. It's a true Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Oh, that. Now, that's some ups and downs. The ups and downs. It's ups and downs, but the whole time. That's a jet-blocked musical though. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Is Les Mis one of those ones that everything's sung?
Starting point is 01:08:00 Everything's sung. Oh, I like Hamilton. When I went to Hamilton, I was like, when are they going to just talk normal? No, no, no. It's a bit much. It's a lot. It's a classic. So back to the Eiffel Tower. Yes. The Eiffel Tower, I've never been up it
Starting point is 01:08:12 but the lift technology is true and hasn't been changed. They got the leads, don't they? They were installed in the 1889 World Fair. Yep. And they take people up to the top of the Eiffel Tower where you proposed to your loved one. Or send a letter. There's a post shop up there.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Is there? There's an apartment up there. I know there's an apartment. We've done a fact of the day about the apartment that's up there. There's a letter box. There's a little post shop. It seems outdated. They should put an internet kiosk in there.
Starting point is 01:08:37 No, it's so that you can receive a letter from the top of the tower. It's very romantic. Does it have a postmark? That's pretty cool if it had a postmark that said, Le Eiffel Tower. Sent from the Turifels. Oh my God, you've nailed that accent. I actually speak near perfect French.
Starting point is 01:08:53 So because now it's a world heritage, it's one of the most famous landmarks in the world. You reckon? Yep. My kids once saw a really big pylon and said, is that the Eiffel Tower? And that's when I knew they had to spend less time watching Mr. Beast. I said to said, is that the Eiffel Tower? And that's when I knew they had to spend less time watching Mr. Beast.
Starting point is 01:09:06 I said to someone, I saw the Eiffel Tower, and I was like, oh, my God, Paris is so much fun. They're like, oh, I actually haunt them in Vegas. Oh, everyone. I was like, well, I didn't see the rest of the buildings. Yeah. They've got like a mini Eiffel Tower. It was beside the Statue of Liberty.
Starting point is 01:09:21 That should have been the giveaway. Should have been the giveaway. Because it's a world-listed heritage site, they can't change anything about it, which means the elevators that were installed in 1889 are still the elevators that run today. Yep. Now, in 1889, they didn't have modern lubricants.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Oh, my God. That's terrible. So every day... Raw. Yeah, I know. No, there were lubricants. There were lubricants, but they're not the modern synthetic lubricants
Starting point is 01:09:46 that we all use in our cars and our machinery and in modern Schindler's Lifts. Not to be confused with classic 1993 Steven Spielberg movie, Schindler's List. Now, that's a miserable story. That's a... Wow. Will they have the ending?
Starting point is 01:10:01 So much misery. Miserable context. If I may stick to the topic, I feel we've been... Sorry, sorry. That's me. There's no modern lubricants like there are for modern lifts. Yep. Escalators, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:10:12 So the lubricant used on the Eiffel Tower to this day... Oh, please tell me it's icing. Animal fat. Animal fat? Yep. It's a mixture of pig fat and beef fat. Why do they still use it to this day? Because the technology at the time,
Starting point is 01:10:29 if you put synthetic oil on this, it'll eat through it. It's no comprende. Sorry to jump to Spain there for a little Spanish. Where are we? It's no bueno. No bueno. No, no, that's still Spanish. I know that just next door, but no. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:44 No, it won. Yeah. No. It won't work. No. So it's a mixture of pig and beef fat. And still to this day. Mixed with a hemp fiber that is sourced from a company in northern France that deals in the business of authentic 1800s animal fat lubricants. Very niche.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Very niche. Very niche. But I mean, the Eiffel Tower is your main client. Yeah. And then you think about it, all of the other old technology that's still rocking around Europe, they will not modernise the Eiffel Tower because it would go against the very legendary set-up of the Eiffel Tower. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:11:14 So they have to pump in pig and beef fat into the Eiffel Tower. So now vegans can't cut the lifts. Oh, my God, cut the queues. Gotcha. Shane Carwin. Gotcha. Well, even vegetarians can't when you can't go up there in full conscious. She's all right with animal products
Starting point is 01:11:31 you just don't eat animal flesh. So she's up there at the Eiffel Tower. You're going up the Eiffel Tower. Panged with guilt. But she's going up the Eiffel Tower. I heard as you go up you can hear pigs screaming. Also it must smell like bacon. Yeah, it must.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Yeah, bacon and brisket. What a stink. I would just go down underneath the Eiffel Tower and that would be my romantic spot to propose to my loved one. Yeah. Because apparently it gloops out and stuff and they've got to clean it up because of the... Le rats.
Starting point is 01:12:00 It gloops. It gloops out. It gloops. So today's fact of the day is the lubricant used on the Eiffel Tower is a mixture of pig and beef fat. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. A couple of big releases today. The new Extraction Chris Hemsworth movie is out today on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:12:35 You know what? It's exactly what I need. Yeah. A mindless action. Hot people. Yeah. Always hot people. I saw it described as a buffet of brutality.
Starting point is 01:12:46 A buffet of brutality. Because the first movie was so great for stunts, for the action, for the camera work. It was incredible. Yeah, dude. It was Russo Brothers produced it, right? But the director was like a stuntman. That was his background.
Starting point is 01:13:00 It was his first foray, I believe. But the big one that everybody's been waiting for, and I know it's been a while since the last season because they said, created, what's his name? Charlie Brooker said, I think we're living in a world of Black Mirror. Oh. But Black Mirror is out today, the new season. I see Aaron's already started.
Starting point is 01:13:20 He's already started, yeah. Are you kidding? He's already started watching Black Mirror? Yeah. Without you. 2023, right? This is season six? Aaron!
Starting point is 01:13:27 What, so he woke up? Aaron? Wow. He woke up and saw it was out and he started watching. He woke up and chose Deceit. That man who wakes up periodically through the night and watches stuff, and he's a terrible sleeper, has watched one and a half episodes. Wow.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Judas. Judas. Judas. Judas. Judas. Judas. Judas, I call you. Okay, I say some of them, there's six of them. There's only five have reviews on IMDb. These are the reviews so far.
Starting point is 01:13:57 Jonah's Awful, episode one, 8.1. Yep. Apparently that has a hidden post credits. Okay, so keep watching that. Is that the one with Salma Hayek in it? Locke Henry is eight stars. Okay. Beyond the Sea, 8.4.
Starting point is 01:14:12 It's an alternative 1969 and two men on a perilous high-tech mission wrestle with the consequences of an unimaginable tragedy. Now, which is the episode with Alexis from Schitt's Creek? And Aaron Paul's in an episode, which by the way, Aaron Paul Breaking Bad is in New Zealand at the moment filming something. Probably hanging out with my man. Momoa. We're reaching at the Momoa. No, it's not
Starting point is 01:14:36 there. So Alexis is in the first episode you mentioned apparently. Someone's messaged in. The one with some high. So Maisie Day is the lowest rated at 6.3. Right. And then Demon 79. They're always so good.
Starting point is 01:14:51 I, did you, the previous. These all seem to be set in the past, by the way. Oh, not the future? Yeah. But I'm at alternative past. Alternative timeline. Alternative, right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:01 I'm digging all this alternative timeline stuff that's happening. It's never a show I've been able to binge. Like it's watch one episode. Take some time to work through what's happened And worry about the future That's the sound you make when you watch After Black Mirror Also I would like to And I think this needs to be publicly said Acknowledge that Fletch has been telling me to watch your show for ages
Starting point is 01:15:22 He has Months And I was like I don't know man acknowledged that Fletch has been telling me to watch a show for ages. For ages. Months. And you were like, no. And I was like, I don't know, man. It looks like Fletch loves a slow-paced British whodunit. He does. And so I've got great taste. I always recommend great stuff.
Starting point is 01:15:35 But you watch too many dumb American SWAT shows as well. Oh, yeah, but I don't recommend those to you. I know what you like. Now, there's a British one called Slow Horses. Now, I should have been on board from day one because I can't get enough Gary Oldman. Oh, he's an amazing actor. Hook me up to an IV of Gary Oldman
Starting point is 01:15:53 and I'll just hydrate myself on the Oldman. It's a great show. He's so good on Slow Horses. I think Aaron's into it, which makes sense if you like it. It's not a slow pace. It's like all go. It's panicky. It's great. It's great. There's some
Starting point is 01:16:07 terrible weather ahead this weekend. A lot of rain so. I'm sorry if you guys. Black Mirror. Love Island. And Love Island, sorry. And Hayley's hooked on Love Island. You know how I was like I started watching and I was like, ugh, I'm finding it really difficult this season. I'm not, no longer. I find the future a bleaker place after watching
Starting point is 01:16:24 an episode of Love Island than I do after Black Mirror. Also today, new episode. If that's what's coming, I'm out. New episode of the Kardashians. It's Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Play.
Starting point is 01:16:34 ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Now you would put my life probably value-wise and stuff probably pretty high in the show as far as the rankings go. Why? Value. Because you've got kids. He's got kids and animals and a wife. You've got nothing.
Starting point is 01:16:51 And looks. Well, you've got nothing. Potential. You've got nothing. Potential income. This guy's a firecracker. Yeah, okay. Now imagine if my life was perilously put at risk because that's just what happened.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Yeah. I just went out to talk to Georgia Burt about some matching track suit she's got that she's going to wear to Mamma Mia next week. This is a story for a different time. I can't believe you're wearing a matching track suit. I might see it.
Starting point is 01:17:13 And I turn around and I see her laptop which is very, very close to me. Yep. And the absolute state of the power cord. Now I know famously before they threaded the cord,
Starting point is 01:17:25 the Mac laptop power cords and iPhone charging cords prone to fray. Yeah. This thing has no plastic left on it. How old Georgia Burt hasn't been electrocuted? Georgia Burt,
Starting point is 01:17:38 who's up next with more Lizzo tickets and a party of jazz. Is she going to be up next or is she going to pick up her laptop and be electrocuted? Bryce, how have you not burned down your house?
Starting point is 01:17:46 I don't use it at home because it's living on its last lease. Oh, so you just want to burn down this company? I reckon this is probably fireproof in here, you know? And if anyway, it's just me in there. I don't... Georgia, nothing in here is fireproof. Georgia, the walls of fireproof is famously flammable. It's
Starting point is 01:18:01 napalm, basically. Yeah, but we'll do that thing where it starts dripping. Oh, yes. Then the carpet will go up. The acid drops. But you do really... I have never in my entire life seen a cord so frayed. Neither.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Like, there's literally nothing left on it. I have no money. The entire length of the cord. Guys, I need a give a little. I get that. Okay, no. Go find us. We're going to run a give a little.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Nobody is setting you up a give aLittle to buy you a new laptop charger. How do you get little tickle shocks off it? Nah, this is literally, I'm seeing how long it can last. We're seeing how long you can last. The plastic is like week by week we're getting less, so I reckon we'll get down to the... It's a receding plastic hairline. Yeah, it's a game.
Starting point is 01:18:41 I'm playing a game with life. Oh, my God. It's the game of life. This isn't a game of life. This isn't a game of operation. This isn't a game of operation. When it finally gives way, your nose is going to glow red. But it's not water on the knee.
Starting point is 01:18:52 You're going to need resuscitation because you've electrocuted yourself. Good luck. Georgia Bird is up next with Friday Jams if she makes it. Yeah, and we'll see you on Monday. We're going to have a brand new Hayley's version. I just received a suggestion so good that I'm going to do it. Morgan Wallen.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Get out of here. I counted 79 all rights today, Fletcher, but that's a new personal record. Oh, f*** off. How many of those did you count? 79 of those too. Alright, well if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review. Oh, f*** off.
Starting point is 01:19:26 ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
