The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Thanks to McCafe.
Great things are brewing, one cup at a time.
Hello, good morning, welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
Happy Tuesday morning.
Three minutes past six.
It sure is.
Well, not yet, according to my computer.
It's actually two minutes past.
Now it is. I think you'll find now it is.
Six o' three.
Oh, God, he's predicting the future.
I was rounding up seven seconds.
You're lighting the candle for us today, Daddy.
Yeah, I found a lighter in my car, so I put it in my pocket, and today I'm lighting the
candle.
Have you done a fart?
Nope.
Okay.
It's suspicious.
I just went to take some stuff out of my pocket to sit down, and I realised that one of it
was a lighter.
It's nice having a candle.
I've missed the candle.
In-studio candle.
Yeah.
It just adds an aroma.
I think the guests appreciate it, too, when they come in. They do. They always mention it. They always say, that's a lovely smell. In studio candle. Just adds an aroma. I think the guests appreciate it too when they come in. They do. They always
mention it. They always say, that's a lovely
smell on here.
Yeah.
This smelling show and radio.
You can guarantee it.
Yep. We laugh out
louder and we just smell
better. We smell like, what's the flavour?
Lotus
and peach and peach
and peachy
berries. And peachy guava.
And peachy guava. Yeah. And
sandalwood. Can I just
say, I have received
hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of messages
from our Jason Momoa
moments yesterday. Now, so
the video came out last night,
and wow, there are so many comments.
Well, I was receiving hundreds being like,
what is the video?
I was like, be patient.
It's one thing.
We have a plan.
It was one thing to listen to the interview.
Like, still great, but to watch it,
it just adds so much more.
Like, his face.
It adds a certain je ne sais quoi.
Yes.
Je ne sais quoi. Je. Je ne sais quoi.
Je ne sais quoi, yeah.
His face, like when he comes around,
when he like, he obviously is so tired
and is sick of these interviews.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then he just.
Falls in love with me.
You get him.
You get him.
Aaron was like, is he checking you out?
And I was like, no, he's looking at my boots.
I was wearing some cool boots.
Cool boots.
And then you see him sort of clock the boots
But it absolutely looks like he's having a little
Gaze from head to toe
Now when fiance Aaron saw this video
Did that change anything? Was he still okay with him being your pass card?
Yeah well I just made sure we were a couple of bottles
Of wine deep before we watched the
Undeniable chemistry
Yeah
Hard to take sober
Really hard to take sober.
Really hard.
Well, if you haven't seen it,
you can check out our socials,
FVHZM,
the interview with Jason Momoa.
The top six is on the way.
Yes.
Italy,
the price of pasta
has gone up.
Yeah, I think it's gone up
like nearly 20%.
And the Italians,
this is their national dish.
Yeah.
This would be like a sausage and bread going up.
Which they have.
Which it probably has.
So I am out trying to find Italy a national dish.
Okay.
So I've got the top six affordable national dishes for Italy to take.
Oh, yum.
Next on the show, though, we've got a new feature.
This is for iPhone users.
Yeah, so all the cool people listening.
No offence.
Pretty big, though, pretty big.
We'll talk about this next.
Harry Styles satellite on ZM.
Add to carts back this morning as well, don't forget.
Do that 8 o'clock.
We'll tell you the first item that you can win.
It'll be listing across the day
8, 12, 4
and then at 5
if you can name all the items
in our shopping cart
you win them all.
I hope it's an upholstery cleaner.
I really want one of those.
Abyssal?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Yesterday
Apple rolled out
its SOS satellite feature to New Zealand users.
I saw this.
So it's iPhone 14 and above.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, that's not me.
I know.
That's not me either.
Because, you know, like, just reading this article, they explained it.
You know, like, I've never seen a satellite phone in real life, but you see them on, like, TV shows and movies.
They're huge.
Someone's in Antarctica in a tent and they put up the fat aerial
and they're, like, calling in a message.
Like my dad in the bloody 90s when he first got a cell phone.
I was like, cool.
Well, apparently the new iPhones don't need those massive antennas
and they've just got the tech inside them to be satellite phones.
And Apple have also worked out a way to,
because the bandwidth isn't as great on satellite,
so they've worked out a way to get mini text messages.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're anywhere in New Zealand,
you know sometimes even driving State Highway one year is a bit patchy in parts.
If there's no Wi-Fi or there's no cell signal
and you've got this, an iPhone 14 or above,
and you've got this enabled,
it will just call via satellite to emergency services.
Isn't one, was it 1NZ who used to be?
Vodafone?
Yeah, they've got a thing coming with.
With SpaceX launching next year,
they're doing 100% mobile coverage.
Yeah, so same thing.
So, yeah, so next year if you're with them.
Yeah.
You can have, no matter where you are.
Huge increase in coverage because at my house, zero reception.
I don't know why.
When people come to our house, they're like, you've got no reception here?
I'm like, oh, phone.
You've got a phone.
Yeah, same. Yeah. There's a lot of people that live'm like, oh, phone. You've got a phone. Yeah, same.
Yeah.
There's a lot of people that live out by you.
You'd think they'd whip one up.
Yeah.
But then maybe if there's only 20 people that need it.
I'm not even that rural.
Passing through, though.
Yeah, that's true.
Dead spot.
If you're on the phone and driving through and it cuts out.
So there's a really good feature as well.
It can also be used as a safety tool.
So say, for example, in this news story,
if you were walking the Milford track and there's like no reception there.
Gorgeous, though.
Gorgeous.
Get off your phone is what I'd first say.
Look up.
Yes, look up.
You know?
Unless you want to take a photo, beautiful photos on your phone.
Take a photo with your brain.
And remember it.
Be present.
In your phone. Take a photo with your brain. And remember it. Be present. In your album.
You can actually use it every 15 minutes
to send your location
using Find My.
Oh, so if you were going missing.
Yeah, so it'll...
And also if you had someone
that was doing a wilderness walk,
you could just keep tabs on them.
Which reminds me, Vaughn,
you were late yesterday
and I tried to find my Vaughny.
Find my Vaughny. Special app Find my Vaughn-y.
Special app.
Because I've got Hayley.
Because sometimes if you're late, I'm like, okay, well, she's on her way.
That's okay.
Also, he looks out for me on Saturday nights, you know.
He brings me home together.
Yeah, that's nice.
Make sure I'm getting home.
But you've dropped off completely.
You're not on here.
So we need to add you back.
Interesting.
Did you delete us or is this when you got your new phone
maybe you updated it's been this has been very unusual i got the tiles you see because
oh oh there's a parcel for me at a train i've just pulled out my phone there's a parcel for me at a
transit hub i should definitely click this link i don't know try Scam guys Okay well I've just
I've just sent you my location
So now you send me yours indefinitely
Um
Sheer indefinitely
Especially when you go to Disneyland
I'm worried that you're gonna get lost
Well that's why I got the tiles
So when we go I
I know you're not supposed to
But I'll put them in the luggage
And see where the luggage is
You mean the ear tags
Or the tiles
What did I say
You said tiles
Oh yeah ear tags
Yeah
They find my stuff stupid, though,
because it's saying that my ear pods are in Ponsonby.
They're not.
They're at home.
Are they?
My Apple Watch is at Sobar in downtown Auckland.
It's not.
It's in my handbag, dead.
And that my phone is here.
Yeah, but that was the last time it was alive.
Yeah, I know, but that's no use to me.
If it died and I was like, where is it?
That's a good trip a long way since then.
Well, it's good Sade's in bed.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Yeah.
Good to know.
Although she should charge her phone.
She's not put that on charge of it.
It's telling me she's already in yellow.
What are phones on?
Yeah, it tells me what percentage of phones are there.
I don't like that.
But apparently my 11-year-old's in Raglan, which is problematic. She's not supposed phones are there. I don't like that. But apparently my
11-year-old's in Raglan, which is problematic.
She's not supposed to be there. She's supposed to be in Vienna.
Oh. She's done a
sneaky outing. Okay, look, it's not perfect.
It's not perfect.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and
Hayley. Biohacking is basically
hacking your own body
to be better
using little tips and tricks.
So there's no real skills needed for this?
A lot of dedication.
Okay.
I was reading this thinking, oh, this will be good.
And now I was like, boring.
So this guy's 37 years old.
His name is Chris Mirabile.
Okay.
He's 37, but his biological
age is 23.
What? I can't remember.
I did a thing with a
nutritionist once and they did a
whey thing that goes through your body
and it shows you how old your body really is.
What was yours? Older.
Oh my, really? But not by a lot.
Okay. And I was with my
friend Leon, who you know.
Yeah.
My friend who's in the Lord of the Rings series.
Just drop that in there.
He was the only one in the group that had a younger body.
Right.
And to be fair, he's...
Yeah, when I see him around, he's always at the gym.
Always at the gym.
Yeah, always there.
Whereas, you know, I'm trying a new gym routine,
which is I haven't been for five weeks now.
Yes.
How are the results?
Yeah, I'm not seeing the muscle definition.
Yeah, it's taking a while to kick in.
It's taking a while to kick in.
But it will.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just trying to believe in the program.
And yeah, it's been really hard.
I'm gagging to get back.
After, after bake off.
Anyway, so he's shared his life, right?
Because this guy, he had a brain injury when he was 16 years old,
like quite a massive event in his life.
A brain tumour, sorry, not a brain injury.
Left him bedridden, unable to exercise for a year.
He cured himself.
But basically, the reason why this man is
22 biologically,
no, sorry, 22
physically when he's 37 biologically
is because he's been looking after himself since
he was 16. Are all these tips
going to be like super boring? You're going to
hate this. Okay.
This is the way to look younger.
Yeah. Okay. So
I'll just go through some of them.
Okay.
Wakes up at 5 a.m. every single day.
Done.
Regardless of whether it's a weekend, a holiday, or a work day.
Okay.
Hard for us, though, to say we do that because that's not by choice.
No.
Do you wake up at five?
Even when we worked afternoons.
Oh my God.
I've literally left the house like 10 minutes before.
Yeah, this is why he's late every day.
But he gets up.
So the same thing, and I know this when people say on the weekends,
try not to vary your go to bed time and your wake up time.
Oh, that's dumb.
It's so dumb.
I like to go to bed at like 1 a.m., 2am, 2am on the weekends and get up at like 10.
Yeah.
So I'm not doing that.
He works out at least an hour a day.
Okay.
So you would do at least that, both of you.
And again, I usually would, but I'm trying a new program.
Yeah.
So we're kind of okay on that.
Yep.
Tick.
Tick.
Three, he takes so many supplements.
Really?
So many supplements.
Because if you're eating a correct diet,
you shouldn't need a lot of supplements, right?
A lot of fish oil, which I've heard for years, is so good.
Okay.
Good for the skin, good for the brain.
Gross.
It's in a gross capsule,
and occasionally the capsule comes up in your mouth,
and then you taste it in your mouth,
and then you're like,
well, how do they get the oil out of the fish?
Have you ever, well, they squeeze them, don't they?
Yeah, essentially.
Like an olive,
they put them in an olive press.
But have you ever had a fish,
you've taken fish capsules and they're burnt?
Yeah.
I'd rather not.
I'd rather be old.
Grossest.
I'd rather be old.
I'd rather look old.
He eats 1,977 calories a day
Every day of the week
Oh this guy sucks
He's living a boring life
He's gonna live till he's 90
But what a boring life to have lived
Yeah what a loser life to live
He hasn't lived
He hasn't
He doesn't ever have cheat days or burgers
You know how people always say like 80-20
Like live your best life 80% of the time,
but 20% of the time you can eat what you want and go have a bit of fun.
He does more of a 95-5.
Oh, okay, 95-5.
You know, I have a couple of drinks, you know, on a happy occasion.
I literally drank two bottles of wine to myself last night.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, and look at me.
I look incredible.
The hottest man on earth checked me out. You know, so we're fine.
Okay, here's the last two things.
He gets regular blood tests and then adjusts his life accordingly.
So he's like constantly regulating where he's at with his levels.
This guy's too much.
And then he wears these...
Balance, a balance bracelet.
Do you remember those?
He wears these sort of strange goggles that block out everything for two hours.
Block out the haters.
Block out the haters for two hours before he goes to bed.
And obviously no technology in bed.
Oh, see, no way.
He looks incredible, but what for?
You're never going to get a partner.
No one wants to live this life for long.
No.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley from the bustling ZM Think Tank. This is the Top Six. Hello there.
Italy, the price of pasta shot up.
They're not happy about it.
Well, the government's holding a summit to discuss crises.
The soaring price of pasta.
It's double the rate of inflation.
Oh, no.
And so people aren't happy.
People are accusing food producers of price gouging.
Oh, they should get it from here.
Pam's pasta's just fine.
Pam's pasta's great.
Diamond pasta.
That was New Zealand-made pasta.
That's totally fine.
So it's a national staple.
The average Italian eats 23 grams of pasta each year.
So about 63 grams a day.
23 kgs, sorry.
Equivalent to 60 grams a day.
Do you think that's a lot?
60 grams a day.
That's not a lot of pasta.
I don't really eat a lot of pasta.
But when I do, I think I could eat more of this.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Like a nice mac and cheese.
It's no Tato's, though.
Nah, it's no Tatey's.
Past is no Tatey's.
It's no Tatey's.
I would go pasta over Tatey's.
Over Tatey's?
That's madness.
Yeah, I'm not a massive Tatey's girl.
Basic recipe for fresh egg pasta.
Here, Jamie Oliver's got one.
Oh.
You need...
Zero, zero flour.
Oh, no, no, no. Do I want to use as cookies?
And it's not the yum kind either.
It's those kinds of cookies.
Six large free-range eggs and 600 grams of Tipo-O-O flour.
Yeah, double-O flour.
It's the real fine stuff.
But it's six eggs.
Could I just run an ordinary lot of flour through a sieve?
Six eggs is like $6.
You can make pasta with ordinary flour.
It's just a bit, you'll taste, the texture's different.
I make fresh pasta sometimes.
I don't have the machine that you put on the bench that you run it through.
Yeah.
Could I do another thing?
Yeah, you can just keep rolling it.
Okay.
I don't want to do that either.
What about those things that have a little bit of meat in them?
A parcel of meat.
A ravioli. I like those. I do that either. What about those things that have a little bit of meat in them? A parcel of ravioli.
I'd make those.
Italian dumplings I call those.
Yeah, beautiful.
Yes, yes.
Italian dumplings.
Or burnt butter.
It is weird how every culture
just has a thing
that's pretty much like
a carbohydrate
with a meat sealed in it.
Yes.
And pinatas.
And ours are pie.
Ours are pie
and they're the biggest.
Yes.
Pasties.
And that's why
we're the biggest. Pasties, pies. And that's why we're the biggest.
Pasties, pies, the kiwi dumpling.
We won't be told.
With the price of pasta spiking,
I've got the top six national dishes for Italy.
Now, the pasta's too expensive.
Okay.
Number two, number six on the list.
You'll see why I say number two.
Number six on the list.
If you like pasta, you're going to love two-minute noodles.
Yes, good. Okay. Oh love two-minute noodles. Yeah, it's good.
Okay.
Oh, yum.
Cheaper.
Yeah.
Put that in like a creamy, you know, carbonara.
Yep.
Or a spag bol.
You'll be loving it.
Yeah.
Absolutely laughing.
All the way to the banks.
Number five on the list of the top six national dishes for Italy now that pasta's too expensive.
Have you heard of cheap white bread?
Oh, yeah.
It's also very carb heavy.
Yeah. You guys are going to love cheap white bread. How good yeah. It's also very carb heavy. Yeah.
You guys are going to love cheap white bread.
How good's bolognese on toast, though?
Yeah, the leftover mince.
Spaghetti on toast, yeah.
Crack an egg on it?
Yeah.
Oof.
You're away laughing.
Oof.
Our number four on the list of the top six national dishes for Italy
now that pasta's too expensive, spaghetti in a can.
It comes with its own sauce.
Get the wadis over there.
No need. And you could really splash out and have beans from a can. It comes with its own sauce. Get the wadis over there. No need.
And you could really splash out
and have beans from a can.
Oh.
Oh.
Wild.
Or you could really splash out
and have beans and little sausages
from a can.
You could have little sausages.
Speaking of.
Yeah, I love them.
Sausages.
Number three on the list
of the top six national dishes
for Italy now that passes
too expensive.
Sizzlers.
I was going to say sausages.
But sausages are very expensive. Yeah, they are. Sizzlers. I was going to say sausages, but sausages are very expensive.
Yeah, they are.
Sizzlers.
Yeah, I know.
Well, they're looking for a cheaper alternative.
That cheese thread through the middle?
Yeah, the double cheese, which is just twice as much cheese
thread through the middle.
Though, if I was drunk at a party and someone was cooking some sizzlers,
I'd have a hoon on a couple of cheese sizzlers.
I'd absolutely have a hoon on a double cheese.
Sizzlers.
Yeah.
I can't remember the last time I had a sizzler.
They're big in the marching world.
Marching girls love a sizzler.
Do they?
Yeah, unfortunately.
For, like, a fundraiser or for eating?
No, for eating.
Like, we'll always have a barbecue at Nationals,
and there's always been, like, a few girls that are like,
Marching, I get sizzlers.
It's weird because you think it's a regional thing,
but regional people take huge pride in their sausages. Yeah, yeah, try and get a Sizzlers. It's weird because you think it's a regional thing, but regional people
take huge pride in their sausages.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because there's always a butcher
or a home kill guy
that makes like the best sausage
and it's a real sausage off.
No, Sizzlers are city sausages.
So you think Sizzlers
are city sauce?
Yeah, I think so.
Suburban city sauce?
Suburban city sauce.
Okay, number two on the list
of the top six national dishes
for Italy now that pass
is too expensive.
Dust.
Yep.
Little bit of dust.
Little bit of dust. Little bit of dust.
Little bit of dust.
And number one
on the list
of the top six
national dishes
for Italy
because pasta's
too expensive.
Vapes.
I haven't seen
a nation really say
this is us.
This is us.
Can you get a
bolognese vape flavor?
Oh my God.
Guarantee you could.
Yep.
Guarantee you could.
But Italy's probably
one of those countries
where cigarettes are still really
cheap. Oh yeah. Yeah, you'll go
somewhere in like, Southeast Asian
country, cigarettes are like 10 cents
a packet. Disastrously cheap. And
everyone's smoking. Yeah, it's yuck.
Yeah, so maybe Italy can get
on board and be the country of the
vape that is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodanale. Play ZM. This post was shared Vape, that is today's top six.
This post was shared on Reddit.
It is a photo from a corporate office in America where one person has put on a special cap
and a little tag thing on their milk bottle of choice
and they have padlocked that lid so that no one else can use it
unless they have the key.
So this isn't a communal fridge.
A communal fridge in which there are like four or five milks,
and I think they must have BYO'd, or maybe they've got a special,
or like, you know, like the green top.
Oh, yeah, or someone might have a milk alternative that, you know,
work doesn't provide.
Stuff from the tea to the oat, the humble oat.
And people are just, it's just sparked this debate a lot of like, that's just, this is so extreme.
I could 100% see myself doing this in a flat or an office.
Well, you've been having a bit of a grizzle, haven't you, about the milk situation at work?
Well, because they don't order enough here.
And so sometimes when it's like, you know, 5am, there's no milk.
What are you meant to just go to the dairy?
Every now and then I go into that.
This is why I've been petitioning for a company cow.
And just put it out there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could look after that, couldn't you?
Who would milk that?
Vaughan will.
You would.
If you know, if you want the milk, you go milk the cow.
Would you just like squeeze the teeth?
Oh, no.
Work it.
Work it.
Absolutely not.
Work it.
Work it. How do you pasteurise it? We Oh no. Work it. Absolutely not. Work it. Work it.
How do you pasteurise it?
We're not pasteurising.
We're having raw.
Oh no.
I don't think I've had raw milk.
It sounds like an illness.
Yeah.
Issue.
Unpasteurised milk.
If that's what they want you
then that's what big milk
wants you to think.
What is pasteurising?
This is probably
a way bigger conversation.
Heat.
Treat it with heat.
I don't want hot milk.
I like my milk cold.
No, no. It comes out of the cow at body temperature.
So that will be warm.
Can we stick the cow in a large fridge?
That's a good idea.
And then the milk will come out cold.
No, no, the milk will still come out warm.
It would just, the cow would use more of its calories
to keep itself warm than it would be to produce milk.
So we probably need to just keep the cow
in sort of like
temperatures.
Or just
milk it into a bucket
full of ice.
You could milk it
into a bucket
and put the bucket
into the fridge.
It'll curdle.
It'll be watered down.
Or just
we could just order
more milk.
Could do.
Well yeah.
So okay
where do I buy
one of these padlocks?
AliExpress right?
It looks like
an AliExpress
something on one of those websites that's likeExpress, right? It looks like an AliExpress. It does.
Something on one of those websites that's like $2.
What is it?
Like a bottle or like a Tetra Pak?
It's like a...
Because everywhere around the world also has different...
Just a bottle.
Milk dispersal.
I think it screws on, right?
You screw it onto the lid.
And then you put a tab that goes underneath the handle.
Yeah, and then you padlock that.
Ah.
So it's kind of screwed on tightly on the bottom.
It's a great idea.
You 100% are going to open up AliExpress
and buy one of these junky little milk locks.
But you can't lock the milk.
That's not your milk.
That's the company's milk.
No, but if I end up having to bring my own milk,
I'd do that.
But do you know what?
They should do this for Sistema.
Sistema should release a flatmate Sistema.
Milk?
No, I'm just talking about containers for your leftovers.
So you do your stir fry, your dinner, and you put it in,
and then there's a padlock area.
Yeah, how good in a flat was it popping open someone else's steamer,
just having a couple of fork bites?
Yes, yes.
And then just kind of like spreading the food out again
so it looks like it wasn't touched.
Oh, my God, that smelled so good when they were cooking that yesterday.
I'm telling you, Sistema should do this.
It will absolutely go down a treat in flats.
It's a good idea.
It's a hot, hot place.
You're welcome for that idea, Sistema.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fletchvorn and Hayley, silly little silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Silly little pole, do you always wash clothes slash sheets slash towels before their first use.
Clothes I don't.
No, clothes I don't normally.
Clothes you should because people might have tried them on in the store.
I didn't think about that.
Do you know, I used to be terrible.
Like, I have always been a massive op shopper.
Like, I love op shopping.
But, like, back in my...
I thought you meant the band.
I was like, has everybody gone to Bombay? Yeah, no. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I thought you meant the band I was like, everybody gonna bomb me.
Yeah, no.
But like back in the day
when I'd go out and go op shopping
for that night and then just like wear the clothes
which is... I know.
But they wash them, right? Yeah, but
they've always got that op shop
powder smell.
Is there a powder they put them on the op shop?
Well, it's like they all smell the same worldwide.
And then there's just a manky old person smell, I think.
But sheets, you have to.
Otherwise, you ruin them.
Yeah, and towels, you've got to fluff them up the first time with a hot wash.
Hot wash and a dryer trip, right?
But see, to me, towels and linen have been in some factory God knows where.
And, you know, people could have touched it.
But then, yeah. Because, you know, could have touched it But then yeah
Cause you know
I could have double standard
Those are going on your bits
You're rubbing those on your bits
Or you're lying in your bed
Yeah
On your bits
Or your bits
Whereas a t-shirt
Eh
Put a t-shirt on
Who cares if it's new
But your pants go towards your bits
I don't wash new undies
When you buy them
I always wash new undies
I don't
Yeah
I get all excited
About putting them on Do men Do you try on undies I I don't. Yeah. I get all excited about putting them on.
Do men, do you try on undies?
I think we've chatted about this before.
No, you find one undies that suits you,
and then that's the undies you buy for the rest of your life.
Because women have a little plastic sort of panty liner.
Yes.
So you can try them on,
because women's undies have such different fits.
High cut, low cut, boy cut, cheeky cut,
high-waisted, low-waisted, full coverage.
Too many.
I know.
But so are you trying those on with undies underneath?
So I go, if I try on undies, I usually don't.
I usually just look at them and be like, yeah.
That looks about right.
That looks about right.
But if I was to try on undies, always leave your undies on.
It's like trying on togs.
Always leave your undies on.
Yeah, even with the plastic shield.
What about if you're really sure
you're going to buy them?
Still leave the undies on.
You can't put your balls on them.
You might not be sure
you're going to buy them.
Right.
Why are you trying them
if you're sure, you know?
The person that got
the potato salad
from the supermarket
was pretty sure
they were going to buy it
when they got it served up
and then they abandoned it
in the milk department
because of how expensive it was.
Yeah, they abandoned that because of the price,
not because they didn't want it.
And hopefully they haven't put their balls on it.
How often you see a bag of, like, pistachios
from the pick and mix, and then they're like, oh.
Yeah, they weigh it.
They're doing the maths in their head.
They work it out by the aisle with the porridge.
They're like, absolutely not.
God, no.
Well, do you wash your new clothes, sheets, and towels
before you use them?
Yes, always, or no? Well, do you wash your new clothes, sheets and towels before you use them? Yes, always or no?
No.
Just edging them out.
52% of people said no.
48% said yes, always.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Feedback stands.
Todd said, always.
Yuck.
I don't know whose manky hand has been on my bonds before I put them on.
He's a bonds boy.
He's a bonds boy.
Yeah.
Bonds.
Bonds boys.
The bonds I've tried always sit super tight around the quad and the nuts.
Oh, really?
Not too bad around the waistband.
So what's good for a bit of bigger nut?
I've got those jockeys.
Oh, the huge bull jockeys.
Huge bulls jockeys.
Yeah, men that wear jockeys, bigger bulls.
Yeah, HPJs.
The pouch is like a shopping bag.
Max said, very much so.
Max says, you wash dirty things and these things are not dirty, they're new.
Well.
You have a different dirty.
Well.
Emily said, you've got to wash towels or tea towels, otherwise they're useless.
Never clothes, though, too lazy for that.
Yeah.
Bridget said, honestly, who has the patience to wait for all that?
I get them on instantly.
Okay.
Oh my God, says Jel. Why do humans
continue to disappoint me with their grossness?
Okay, clothes you don't have to wash
if they're not touching your hoo-ha.
But towels, bedding and anything else
that gets personal with the
hoo-ha. No, she doesn't use the hoo-ha.
The second time she uses another word
that starts with P. That gets personal with the P word. No, she doesn't use the hoo-ha. The second time she uses another word that starts with P that gets personal with the P word.
Oh, wow.
Must be washed.
They come from a gross factory.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a woman who looks after her nether regions.
Straight on, straight on to the P.
Hannah said, oh, my God, are we meant to?
I think we are, Hannah.
She's involved in the conversation now.
She'll think so.
Ruby, sheets and towels, yes, but clothes, no.
I don't know why they're different.
You've got me thinking.
And nah, says Sammy.
They smell so good, New.
Nah, sometimes they've got a bit of a stank.
They might have a bit of a factory stank.
I think if it's going around the Jennys, give it a wash.
That's the flat rule.
Yeah.
Today.
Clay, Zed M's, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I don't own a Dyson of any kind.
I'm planning on buying the vacuum cleaner
because I'm sick of the big ball.
Oh, you plank yours in, do you?
You want a stick.
I know.
I've got the stick.
I've got the stick.
I love it.
Yeah, I want the stick.
You guys have got to get the automatic guy. Maybe he'll hit into the stick. I love it. Yeah, I want the stick. You guys have got to get
the automatic guy.
He'll hit into the bottom of my kitchen cabinet, so I don't want him to do that.
He'll gently bump.
He gently nudges.
You could put a bit of felt on the front
of the vacuum.
But why am I now modifying a vacuum
that I've just bought that's pretty expensive?
A little bit of felt.
You just have to not touch my cabinets.
I would 100% get a robot vacuum cleaner if I didn't have steps.
Yeah.
I reckon you make a little ramp.
Make a ramp just for a vacuum cleaner.
I've got lots of vintage furniture.
He's going to be chipping the legs of my mid-century sideboard.
If your furniture is so easily chipped that the vacuum cleaner
is your cat's
going to do it.
It's vintage.
My cat is a good cat.
My cat's not like his cat.
His cat would be.
Your cat's a beaver
by the way.
I think your cat's
got part beaver in it.
Yeah.
He's actually got through
he's got past the foam
of the couch
onto the wood bits.
Yeah great.
Yeah he's doing so well.
He needs a smack.
I'm against smacking
children but he needs a smack. He does. He needs a smack on I'm against smacking children, but he needs a smack.
He does.
He needs a smack on the nose.
You're not disciplining that cat.
Anyway, how do we get here?
Oh, I don't own a Dyson.
I don't own the Dyson Airwrap.
I don't own the Dyson Hair Dry that, like, everyone,
all of my hair and makeup friends have.
They just swear by it.
Because it's like $500.
Well, they've got a new product in the Dyson Hair line, a $500 cordless flat iron, like straighteners, basically.
So I'm just looking, how much would a GHDB?
Oh, a good $200 to $300.
Yeah.
And then their hot air one is $645.
So this is the difference, though.
It's called the Dyson Air Straight.
It uses flexible plates and air to straighten it
as opposed to normal straighteners
that get two hot plates, ceramic plates generally.
Like a mini panini press.
Like a little mini George Foreman grill.
And you flatten it.
And obviously with the direct heat,
it damages your hair quite a lot.
Yeah.
With this, they're saying less damage to the hair,
more damage to the bloody bank account, to be fair.
So how does it work if it doesn't put the two plates together?
Well, the plates are softer and flexible.
It allows the straightener to better gather hair
and more blow hair in each direction, so blow it straight.
So it's almost like if you have a hairbrush and a hairdryer,
you can do it that way. Yes. But it takes a lot of time, whereas this is doing it straight. It's almost like if you have a hairbrush and a hairdryer, you can do it that way. Yes.
But it takes a lot of time, whereas this is doing it easier.
Well, there's a $35
four-star reviewed
hair straightener at Kmart.
Yeah. You'll sizzle your hair.
It's got an LED touchscreen.
It takes four minutes to get to 230
degrees Celsius. 230 degrees
Celsius? Don't turn your nose
up at the $35 Kmart hair straightener.
You admitted to us that you used to iron your hair.
I know.
I used to, like when I was a goth and I didn't have hair straighteners,
nor did I have the money to buy them as a teenager,
I used to lie my head down.
I did two ways.
Lie my head on the ironing board and just go tsss.
With a friend or by yourself?
By myself.
Oh my God. Like that. What setting did you have it on? friend or by yourself? By myself. Oh my god.
Like that. What setting did you have it on? Cotton or delicate? Can't remember. Silk. I'd have it on silk.
Just on. No, no, you have it on
And steam. And hit the steam button.
Did you put a pillowcase down and
then go over the... I didn't used to. I just go
direct on the hair. Oh my god. And then the other way
I used to do it was I used to have a towel in
one hand like this and I'd put the
iron on the other side and just slap my hair in the middle.
Now the way you would do this is because you'd always have these
kinky roots because you couldn't get to the root
and there's like dead ends. It's a classic
early 2000s move.
But then for my 16th birthday
I got a GHD from my mum
and it's the GHD I use now.
I'm 33. Wow.
Did Pat say not have one? 40 years old.
Now mum's always had short hair and she's got straight hair.
Right. So she would use a blow dryer.
But yeah, I've
got the like iconic generation of
GHD that just lasted forever. Wow.
16 and I'm 33.
It's so old eh? Anyway, but
everyone's had the moment because
I remember when I used
to do the hair thing. I constantly
burned the tips of my fingers.
In fact, my fingertips are still like a cluster of wrinkles at the top
from when I used to burn them all the time,
straightening my hair with this iron.
Yeah, like the tips are so munted from just going,
ah, ah, ah, I've got to look like a goth.
So I thought with these new straighteners out
that are going to cause an absolute storm, I'm sure.
A revolution. A revolution.
A revolution.
I want to hear about
your hair straightener injuries.
It's always funny
when a friend had a little
like sizzle on their forehead.
Yeah, on their forehead, yeah.
Got too close.
And you're like,
I know what that's from.
Or their ear.
Yeah, always a burn.
They shut the thing on
and they shut it on their ear.
My friend got hers confiscated
because she left them on
when she went to school one day.
You know,
and this was before
the self-turn-off technology.
Didn't Sade leave them on one day?
Yeah, I came home and they were sizzling into the bench top.
Oh, no, they were singing a song.
They were beeping.
Oh, right.
Or on a coaster.
But maybe you left your hair straightener off.
Yeah.
And you had a bit of a nightmare.
You've had some burns.
You've had some burns, some injuries.
Let's take your calls now.
Dyson, who I'll happily accept free products from,
have released a new hair straightener.
Revolutionising the world of straightening your hair.
So it's not two hot plates.
Not two hot plates.
It's got two plates, but they blow air at it.
Cooler temperature, less damage.
And it straightens it.
Straightens it.
That is pretty good.
That's game changing, right?
It is game-changing.
But I want to know your hair straightener nightmares
because we've all had a burn or two or left it on
and set the bloody house ablaze.
Holly, what happened?
Hi, how are you guys?
Good.
So good, Holly.
So, so good.
So basically, it was my year eight ball
and my auntie was doing my hair.
Cute.
And she was straightening my hair and somehow it ended up
burning my whole neck. So in all my
photos, there's just this massive
bandage on my neck at my
ball. How did she do
it so badly?
I don't know. Just like turn around
and she's like, what's that?
I'm kind of going, ow!
And she's like, what's wrong? I'm like, you're burning
my neck. Oh my god. Ouch. I, you're burning my neck. Oh, my God.
Ouch.
I want to see these photos, actually.
Yeah, any chance you can.
Can you Photoshop them out?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
I actually deleted all my photos apart from one that my mum has in her frame in her house.
It's a bad memory now.
She's got a burnt bandage on her neck.
Holly, thanks.
You called some messages in.
I sat on mine.
And when they were at full temperature, burnt the bare bum.
Imagine going to A&E and they're like, what's wrong?
And you're like, I sat on that.
I sat on that.
You what?
I sat on that.
I sat on that.
And then you've got to sit in like an ice bath on your butt just to stop the blistering.
Somebody said anything over 180 degrees will burn your hair.
So those Kmart ones I was talking about,
before they got to 235,
that's 50 degrees more than it needs to be.
Too much.
Okay.
I got my earlobe and my straighteners instead of my hair.
When I went to grab some hair in it,
I just sizzled my earlobe.
That would be one of the most common ones, right?
You're so familiar with that feeling.
An earlobe sizzle.
Sinead, you sat on your hair straighteners not once.
But twice.
Oh, you idiot.
How do you keep sitting on them?
So I've got, when I was, oh, this was about 10 years ago now,
my daughter was about two,
and she had like one of those little armchairs,
and my bum was small enough to fit in.
So I put the hair straightener on the armrest,
and as I went to sit down, the hair straightener fell in.
Oh, God.
And of course, I was just in my underwear and a thing,
like getting ready to go out.
So I got a huge fright, jumped up,
but didn't get off the seat enough.
So as I fell back into the seat,
the hair straightener moved to the other side and I sat on the hair straightener.
So you got matched.
Second time.
You got matching.
Yeah, so I've actually got
the shape of the hair straightener
burned onto one butt cheek
and then a nice big
just open burn on the other one.
It was actually third degree burns.
Oh my God.
Do you still have the scar?
Yeah, I do.
And it's been 10 years. Oh my God. Your burns last have the scar? Yeah, I do. And it's, like, been 10 years.
Oh, my God.
It's been a long time.
Oh, yeah.
It's insane.
It was incredible.
And at the time, I just didn't think anything of it.
I was just like, I'll just, like, damp a towel and sit on it,
continue on with my night.
Well, I put black jeans on.
And so when I got home, because the burn was open,
I took my pants off and it ripped the burn reopened.
Oh, my gosh.
And then...
I thought you were going to say black jeans are not an effect of gauze.
I thought you were going to say the ink from the jeans gave you a tattoo.
Yeah, like, I'm surprised it didn't.
The next day I went to work and I was like, oh, my gosh, I can't work.
So I just called my boss into the ladies' toilet and I was like, can you look at my butt for me
please? And she was like,
what is going on? I ask the boys to do that all the time as well
and they just won't.
I know, right? Like, how dare they?
May I put in a bid
for Caller of the Week?
Are you putting in Caller of the Week?
She's burned her butt,
she's chucked a pair of black jeans on it, she deserves it.
Yeah, I love this. Sinead, we're
going to hook you up.
All thanks to Mick Caffer.
You've won a $50 voucher.
Oh, wow.
Okay, thanks.
That's not what I expected.
No, of course not.
Honestly, that story just, oh, my gosh.
So good, Sinead.
Thank you.
Let's go to Mal.
Mal, what was your hair straightener nightmare?
Maladay.
We've lost Mal. Or Malissa. Malissa or Mal. No, Mal? Melanie. We've lost Mel.
Or Malissa.
Malissa or a Mal.
No, Mel's gone.
We'll carry on.
A couple of messages to finish.
Maybe Mel was just like, well, if I'm not going to be cooler of the week, I won't even say it.
She's given up.
Why bother?
Yeah, why bother?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My son's ex-girlfriend gave him a hickey on his neck and they got scared that her parents would ground her.
So she burnt his neck with her hair straightener saying she was straightening his hair and slipped.
No.
Because that's way better than just saying I'm a teenager.
Yeah. To have a permanent scar on your neck forever.
Oh, dear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lots of people sitting on them.
Left my straightener on, but sitting on the case on the closed toilet seat.
Then my partner and I were play fighting in the bathroom,
and I sat on the toilet seat and burnt my bum cheek very close to any of the regions.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Had to get it properly dressed
for two weeks
and couldn't sit on it
for over a week.
Oh, God.
They're really hot.
Do you think we'll be able
to sit on the new Dyson
hair straighteners?
I don't know if they're sit-proof.
If anyone from Dyson
is listening.
I wouldn't sit on it on purpose.
Maybe they could send us one
and we could test it.
Yeah.
You really want one, don't you?
No, I'm happy with my bloody
16 year old GHD
It's because we're talking about food
And I'm starving Marvin
I want to talk about the humble breakfast bar
You know when you go to a hotel
And you come out and there's I was happy to wait about the humble breakfast bar. You know when you go to a hotel and you come out and there's –
I was happy to wait for the omelette.
You know when they've got a –
Dude, when there's an omelette station.
There's an omelette station.
Omelette.
And then they're like, what do you want?
And you're just like –
Everything.
Everything.
I'm not paying.
It's everything.
It's included in the room.
Everything.
The first morning you're there, you're a little bit shy.
You're new.
You're shy.
And the omelette bar person's like, what would you like?
And you're like, is it okay if I have everything?
And the last day you're like, everything.
More cheese.
More cheese.
More ham.
Everything.
Yes.
Well, there is, I think she's an Aussie blogger who came to New Zealand,
is starting a bit of a debate online as to whether or not it's okay to take things
from the breakfast bar that you don't eat in that moment.
So, like, I do this often with the Kauru Lounge, if I'm ever in there,
have my eggs and my toast and my saucies and the hashies.
And then as I leave, I'll nab a croissant.
Oh, you nab some pastries on the way out.
I mean, you're not meant to.
Yeah, I know.
It has to be eaten within the thing.
When you're staying at a resort and there's a breakfast buffet,
you definitely load up for a snack later.
Oh, people do all the time.
People make sandwiches.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
People take containers.
Or mums get out the purse and it all goes in.
If you're staying on a tropical island,
there's going to be some snorkelling.
You grab some cornflakes to feed the little fishes.
Feed the little fishes.
Always all like fruit for the kids.
Yeah.
I can imagine.
I always think you could take a bit of fruit.
Yeah.
Couldn't you?
You just got to do it sneaky.
You just got to be sneaky.
Yeah, but if you're doing it sneaky, then you know it's wrong.
The question is, is it okay?
Like, is it right or wrong?
It's breakfast.
You're not feeding yourself for the whole day.
Why not?
I mean, you're paying for it.
No, you're not.
You're paying for the breakfast that you eat.
It's an interesting debate.
But then that's unfair because what if I eat,
okay, this is an absolutely hypothetical situation
because I always eat a lot at a breakfast buffet,
but what if I don't eat as much as another guest,
but we're both paying the same amount for the breakfast buffet?
Yeah, that's a fair point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, they're also saying, so this,
they've asked a few
like hotel chains, right,
whether or not they think
that this is okay.
And then some of it's going like,
well, a lot of the qualm about it
is like food safety regulations
because once you take it away,
then you're changing the environment
that maybe we've kept it in.
So if it's something like
a custody croissant or something
and then the custard goes off
because it's been in your pocket
for half the day and then you get a tummy bug and you say, and then the custard goes off because it's been in your pocket for half the day,
and then you get a tummy bug and you say, you gave me a tummy bug.
And they're like, well, you took it away from its refrigerated area.
So that's actually not on us.
That's why a lot of restaurants stop doing takeaway bags.
They can tell you you're not allowed to take custard,
but I'll take everything else.
Yeah.
It's a food hygiene and a food safety thing. But also they're just going
like, do I take the piss? Yeah. You know
what I mean? I definitely
do. A bit of fruit and a couple of pastries.
Yeah, I 100% do this if I'm at a place
and you're going out for the day.
You might want a mandarin.
Take an apple or
a banana. Yeah, do it. A bit of fruit for
the day. Well, I think that people
are saying, yes, it's okay.
But hoteliers are saying, no, you can't take from the breakfast buffet.
You've got to eat it there.
You're going away with your parents.
Dude.
So, your mum.
Who do you think taught me this?
Your mum would love doing this.
She does.
And she's a big believer on a holiday you don't eat lunch.
What?
You eat so much of breakfast, it powers you through the day.
And it's slightly later in the day.
Yeah.
Because we're going to LA and one of the main things we're going for,
we're going to spend a few days at Disneyland.
Yeah.
And she had a look at what food and stuff's available at Disneyland.
She's like, maybe we just take some sandwiches.
Oh, no.
She's like, God.
I was like, no, you've got to get like the turkey leg
and like the ridiculously sugary churro that's too sweet to finish.
It's all part of this insane experience.
Overpriced fries.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
$10 fries.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
No, you can't take a sandwich.
How embarrassing.
I always thought you couldn't take food into Disneyland.
I thought that too.
But you can.
She sent me, she's like, see?
And she sent me a link.
So she's researched, she's already
planning to steal from the breakfast buffet
and take sandwiches. I'd say so.
Because when we...
She told me that breakfast is included. She's very
iterated where we're saying breakfast is included,
breakfast is included. She's very iterated. I love breakfast included.
You've got to have breakfast. It's my favourite.
When we went to Rainbow's End
a couple of weekends ago, one of my friends is
doing the keto diet at the moment,
so she was like, she packed a lunch
and had all these keto snacks
and a flask with this soup
thing, and then when we got in,
they'd look at your bags, right?
They'd go through your bag, and they're like, oh, you can't bring food
in here, and she was like, what? And they're like, yeah, you've got to chuck
it in the lockers, and you can't
carry it around, you've got to buy your food in here. And then was like, what? And they were like, yeah, you've got to chuck it in the lockers and you can't carry it around. You've got to buy your food in here.
And then so we went and
snuck it. We snuck it in and at lunchtime
we were sitting in the big dining hall bit.
Me and Aaron were having burgers and chips.
And she was hooning from a little keto soup flask.
And it was embarrassing.
She had like a sausage
and there was just a sausage on its own.
A sausage and some soup. Keto is hard for lunchtime.
Stopped going into Rainbow's Inn and you've got a rogue sausage in your purse. Yeah, she does. You're like a sausage on its own. A sausage and some soup. Keto is hard for lunchtime. Stopped going into Rainbow's Inn,
you've got a rogue sausage in your purse.
Yeah, she does.
You're like a glad-wrapped cooked sausage.
Very embarrassing for us all, actually.
Get us a side bag, you know.
Put a couple of sausages in there.
Treat yourself.
Well, Booking.com have released some stats
about where we're booking,
where Kiwis are booking overseas.
Do you don't care about the domestic last say?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, give it to us.
I'd like to know what's happening here at home.
Where do you think the number one destination is?
Queenstown.
That's number two.
I would have thought the same thing too.
Auckland.
Auckland is the number one.
And I'm assuming just because of events and so many concerts in Auckland.
And we're here.
People are hoping that they might run into us on the street.
I don't think that's why people know.
People freak out.
The top five domestic destinations for Kiwis,
the places they're booking at the moment,
Taupo, Christchurch, Wellington, Queenstown, Auckland.
International, the top 10 International destinations
Now that we can travel
Fiji
Number 10
Tokyo number 9
Oh
Why did they say Fiji
That's a whole country
But not Japan
Oh yeah
They just said Tokyo
Well Fiji is sort of smaller
You kind of
Head to one area mainly
Yeah but you know
I just want it to say
Nandi
He wants a quality Fiji, Tokyo, Japan.
Okay.
Melbourne, Australia, number eight.
Okay.
The destinations that Kiwis are booking.
Rome, number seven.
Oh, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Italy.
Italy, yes.
Singapore, Singapore.
Yes.
Is number six on the list. Paris, France. Yes. Is number six on the list.
Paris
You couldn't remember.
France
Yes.
Beautiful.
Is number five on the list.
Sydney
comma Australia
Yeah.
Is number four on the list.
London
is number three on the list.
London is in the
comma
United Kingdom
I would have also accepted England.
Okay.
Or Great Britain.
The top two spots
that Kiwis are booking
What haven't I said? Have a guess
Rarotonga? Number one
Oh, I got number one
Los Angeles, America
Number two is Gold Coast
Australia
Dude, Rarotonga rules
I've never been
I could be one of those leathery old white guys that rocks around in shorts and no shirt
and you're definitely like,
that guy should definitely have a shirt on.
And he's running the scooter
because you've moved there?
Yeah, I've moved there.
Kind of a long-term lease
because I can't own land there
because I don't have
raw and strong ancestry.
I'm doing a long-term lease
on a lovely little plot of land there.
I've got one of those little funny trucks.
What do they call those? Suzuki Magics or whatever they are, those funny little trucks.
And you just wander into the Rarotongan Resort looking for your lost chickens
because your chickens are sitting in here.
And then I'm off down to the mooring for a sandwich for lunch every single day.
And they know to have my sandwich ready and waiting for me.
It's the mahi-mahi sandwich
i roll in and they're like vaughn and i'm like how's it and then they're like and then some
tourists are like that old guy should have a shirt on because he's white and he's leathery but he
also looks a very high melanoma risk and i get back in at least some pants yeah i got a cowboy
hat on and some shorts that could be togs or und, no one's exactly sure and then I toddle off back
and they're like,
what does that guy do here?
And everyone's like,
not quite sure.
Not, yeah.
Wait, where are your family?
Did they move with you?
They left.
Completely up to them.
Completely up to them.
The girls are older at this point.
Okay, if they've left,
I'm looking to marry local.
Okay.
Alright.
That's great.
Good for you.
Because this long-term lease
is like,
it's working for me
but I can see the financial benefit
of marrying local and you know what, I I can see the financial benefit of marrying local.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I've always loved the Rarotongan people.
He does.
Great, okay.
And you should see me.
I can swim with a turtle.
That's your future sorted then.
I know where the turtles are in the lagoon at any given time.
That's your future sorted.
And on the back of that, I did say there were some tips.
Give us the tip.
Expedia went over a heap of data
and they found that it's 15% cheaper to book on a Sunday,
5% more expensive to book on a Friday.
Yeah, you're looking to get out of it on a Friday.
Everyone's wanting to leave.
It's 10% cheaper to book international flights
six months in advance.
Yeah.
Yep.
And it's 10% cheaper to fly on a Wednesday.
Yeah.
Because a lot of airlines, especially international flights,
will be a little, like, surcharge if you fly on a Thursday,
Friday, Saturday weekend.
Yeah, popular.
So, yeah, just watch out for that.
But, yeah, those are the cheapest time to book.
And I think Saturday flights can be cheap as well,
because people leave on a Friday.
I would go anywhere, any day.
Whatever's cheaper.
Whatever's cheap. Just get me out of here. Play ZM's Fletch, any day. Whatever's cheaper. Whatever's cheap.
Just get me out of here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley. Big day today though.
Huge day. Huge moment.
Huge day. We are
for years of asking today
have received
the admin username
and the password for
the studio air conditioning.
Which right now is too hot.
You're too hot?
I was a little too cold.
No, if you go out, because I just went for a wee-wee's
and I came back in through the studio, the booth,
producer's booth, which is nice and sort of got some air,
water here, stuffy.
Stuffy.
I think we could go down one degree.
Well, currently there's a three, there's a buffer.
Yeah.
And currently, we're at 20 and a half degrees Celsius, 20.5.
It's too hot.
Now, for those that don't know, I mean, you obviously mentioned the login,
but we don't have a panel like most air conditioning or a remote.
That would make sense, right?
That would make sense.
But this is you log on to a website and you do it on there.
And usually we say, car win, it's hot
or like, oh my god, it's freezing in here.
And for however many years we've
been in the studio, what is it, like
seven, eight years we've been in the
studio? Seven?
Seven and a bit? We've never
ever been allowed control.
Ever. Well, that's what happens when
I turn up. Things change. Things change, yeah. And now we've that's what happens when I turn up.
Things change.
Things change. You know?
And now we've got the air con.
You're welcome.
Had absolutely nothing to do with me.
Probably because I complain
about the temperature
because I'm a hormonal fluctuator.
And that's the thing
we'd always have to say to Karwin.
Karwin, it's too hot.
And she'd have to log on
and change it.
It is approximately
one degree hotter in studio today than it was yesterday.
Yeah, I can feel it.
Let's go down one then.
Okay, I've got the trend.
It lets me look at the trend for the last 24 hours.
The power.
Have you turned it down?
Are we going to have one of us in charge of this?
Cooling point.
What are you doing?
How much are you turning it down?
I'm turning the top to 30 degrees.
Okay, it's not letting me.
You can't go in and put 30 degrees.
Well, do I?
One at the top, and then the bottom I was going to put 12 degrees.
Okay, don't.
No.
Now it's up to you.
You're panicking and you're raising the room temperature.
We're up to 20.9 degrees.
I need you all to relax.
It's hot.
Don't mess with it.
Apparently as well, whenever we change the temperature,
you need to type in a reason for changing the air conditioning.
Too hot.
T-O-O.
Can you put in sweaty?
It's when it gets to 21 degrees, it starts cooling.
Okay.
So we can change that to 20.
20 points.
Can you write in reason for changing sweaty gooch?
Sweaty gooch.
Sweaty gooch.
And I've got a sweaty pooch. Sweaty gooch. Sweaty Gooch. And I've got a Sweaty Pooch.
Sweaty Gooch and Pooch.
Okay, and then who sees that?
Success.
Oh, fantastic.
That tells me.
What temperature did you see it?
20.
Did the computer accept Sweaty Gooch and Pooch?
It did, yeah.
No questions were asked.
Okay, wow, that's so good.
Well, we've got to be honest with her.
Should I set off the fire alarm?
Vaughn, no! I can apparently do that from here. Oh, my God. Okay, this is why they so good. Well, we've got to be honest with her. Should I set off the fire alarm? Vaughan, no!
I can apparently do that from here.
Oh, my God.
Okay, this is why they haven't given us the login for all this time.
Oh, my God, the power is unreal.
I am changing the language to German.
Oh.
Dein, deiner.
Studios oft, otterhutsch.
Okay, we're going to be banned from this if we've only had it a day.
This is why we're not allowed.
What other things can it do?
Do you know I wondered for years why we weren't allowed control of this?
It's because there's a lot of stuff on this web page that we could to-do with.
Okay, the view, it says that it's scaled, but I want it to fit the full page,
so I'm clicking full size.
Yeah, that's better.
Big buttons now we're playing.
Are you in charge of it or are we all going to individually log in
at any given moment and change the temperature?
I think it would make a great change if a woman was in charge of the office air con.
Sorry, I think it would make a great change if a woman was in charge.
Jacinta just left.
She was in charge of the whole country.
Do you know that it's proven in many studies that men in the workplace are in charge of the air conditioning?
Oh, that's right. Do you know that's why I'm saying this? Thank you. I'm in the workplace are in charge of the air conditioning. Oh, that's right.
Do you know that's why I'm saying this?
Thank you. I'm saying if you're in charge of it.
Ally.
Ally.
It'll be up and down and then one woman will be like behind her back
being like, she shouldn't be in charge of air conditioning,
she has it too hot.
I'm the only woman in the studio.
And then it'll be a whole thing and you'll have to deal with it.
Fine, Vaughan can deal with it.
As well it should be as history betold.
Yesterday we realised that we had a bit of time on our hands, didn't we?
You did.
Well, we had a photo shoot booked and they had booked it in for two hours
and professional, professional,
professional. We walked in and got it done in about 10 minutes. So that's, but you know,
that's because I was, um, used to be a Calvin Klein model in my early teens. Yeah. You were
giving it. Yeah. Vaughn, you were also giving it. I gave some. And I also gave. I gave all
I had to give. So basically we were in and out, and then I went, well, maybe we should go to brunch.
And Fletch, as always, was like, I'm in, right?
You're in.
It was pretty quick to get you on board.
And then Vaughan, you did a big fat no.
You wanted to go, you wanted to get home?
To your family.
I was like, oh, yeah.
Well, I was going to go back to the gym for the first time
since I had my sore tooth.
Yes.
And then we were like, don't be a loser.
Come and get some beautiful food with us.
And some eggs.
Some eggs.
And it was one of the easiest arm to a sever.
Next minute we were walking down and we're having a beautiful brunch.
It did take a couple of like, we had to jab him a couple of times.
I just got coffee though.
I just got coffee and a little thing. I didn't get my usual big breakfast. Coffee having a beautiful brunch. It did take a couple of like, we had to jab him a couple of times. I just got coffee though. I just got coffee and a little thing.
I didn't get my usual big
breakfast. The little thing was a
multi-layered cinnamon bun.
Scroll thing. Yeah, but usually I get
that and a delicious meaty
breakfast. You were adamant, I'm not going.
I'm not coming. You said it so
many times. We save our indulged brunches
for later in the week.
Yesterday was literally the earliest in the week we could do a workday lunch.
Well, we could almost say that Monday was part of Sunday.
And today we won't go and get our brunch.
But I can't do Friday.
What?
I can't do Friday.
Why?
What are you doing on Friday?
That's more important than us.
I'm getting out of here.
Okay.
Well, but Fridays we do.
I know, but we did it on Monday this week instead of Friday. Rude. It's very here. Okay. Well, but Fridays, we do brunch. I know,
but we did it on Monday
this week instead of Friday.
Rude.
It's very rude.
Wow.
So what,
on Friday we just say goodbye,
have a good weekend?
Yeah,
I think that's what happens.
That's weird.
Well,
we're doing cocktails.
We'll do it,
and we'll do cocktails
in the afternoon as well.
Yeah,
you're doing cocktails
in the afternoon.
But it was a great feeling
when we twisted your arm
because you were so adamant
you weren't going to do brunch.
I know,
but for me,
as always,
I would say the leader of the bad food at the moment.
I'm having a couple of years off.
Yeah.
I'm enjoying my...
Well, you've got your new gym routine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is week five now.
Week five, my new gym routine, it's sort of a kind of a backwards way of thinking,
but it takes a while to kick in, I think.
So you don't, what you do is you don't go to the gym.
Yeah.
And then you get the same result.
You sort of hope for the same results.
Yeah.
It's a novel approach.
Yeah.
I've done that thing where you do that and you wonder why you aren't seeing any results.
No, no, no, no.
You do it and then you go, the results will come.
Yeah. You have faith in the results. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have yours come through yet, your results no, no. You do it and then you go, the results will come. You have faith in the results.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have yours come through yet, your results?
Not yet.
It sort of goes the other way first and then suddenly it just goes.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Rip, boom, boom, cut.
Patience is crucial for this.
So crucial.
But you do lead the arm twisting.
I always lead the arm twist.
Because you've usually got mints in the fridge.
You've usually got mints in the fridge
or you're doing some kind of healthy eating.
Vaughn's usually got family time.
And I've got neither of these things.
So I'm always up for an arm twist.
I wonder if we can take some calls.
If you're always the one who's being twisted
or if you're the twister, how easy is it?
Like, do you have a friend that it's super easy?
You just know the buttons and you can twist their arm.
Maybe you've got a particular way of doing it.
Oh, yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Maybe you do a little bit of weaponizing your emotions.
Oh, yeah.
You need to come with me because I'm sad.
Yeah.
Guys, you know I'm having a hard time at the moment.
Please, I just want to sit down with you and enjoy a brunch.
What, are you going to say no?
So we want to hear this morning from the arm twisters
and the people that get their arm twisted.
Rubber armed and those that twist them.
The twisted and the twisty.
I mean, I don't need a lot of twisting.
Everybody's got the mate that makes the public declaration
that they're doing something and you're like,
that's not going to last.
Like, I'm not drinking this month.
You're like, I'll see you Friday.
Yeah.
No.
No.
You won't.
And then on Friday,
the FOMO's put too much for them.
Yeah.
And it just takes one straw
to break that camel's back.
Yeah.
They're like, hey,
we're heading off to the pub.
Oh, well, I'll come,
but I'll just have a lemonade.
Yeah.
Or I'll just have one beer then.
Yeah.
You've twisted my arm.
Oh, 800-Diles-at-Am. We want to take one beer then. Yeah. You've twisted my arm.
0800 Dials at M.
We want to take your calls now.
You can text through 9696.
How easy is it to be twisted or to twist the arm?
Give us a call.
We just want to hear those stories of how easy it is to have your arm twisted or to twist your friend's arm.
Because yesterday I did a light twist on Fletch, a
heavier twist on Vaughn and then I
got to have brunch with my friends.
And I win. On a Monday
which we normally do on a Friday. It's a late
in the week. It's a reward for getting
through the week. Yes it is. But we did a reward
because we got through the photo shoot quick.
Yeah. That was worth it. And today we can do a reward
because I just think today's been a stellar show.
Now are we going to brunch after this? No, you can't toss my arm today. can do a reward, because I just think today's been a stellar show. Are we going to brunch after this?
No, you can't toss my arm today.
Oh, come on.
What have you got on today?
You've got mince in the fridge?
No, I've got chicken in the fridge.
Chicken in the fridge.
You've got to run home to that.
I've got to cook that.
Yeah, you've got to cook that.
We could have that for dinner.
We could have brunch after.
No, chicken for lunch.
Yeah, okay.
Well, we want to know about having the arm twisted
or twisting the arm.
I'm about to absolutely try to twist both of your arms.
So McDonald's has just arrived.
Consider me twisted.
She's excited.
She's excited.
Some messages in.
I've asked my friends multiple times not to send me any links to any online shopping when I'm on a purchase-free period.
Oh, so they say I'm not doing any shopping this month or this till next
pay. Do not because they've got a little group
where they're like, you'd look cute in this, you'd look cute in
that, I'd look great in this.
Those B words
know exactly what to send to break me every time.
How do they?
Because do you think they just find a little bit
of like joy in
breaking her?
Like, here you go.
My bestie does it when she is trying not to spend money.
So she'll go through and we've got very similar fashion sense.
So she'll go through and love something, send it to me being like, you need this.
And then I'll buy it because I'm easily twisted.
Yeah.
And then she'll be like, can I borrow?
She's got you.
She's got me, man.
That's really good.
Somebody said, uh-oh, today's the day I always break.
I've been very good with my eating,
but I know my friend will turn up with a sombrero on for Taco Tuesday.
Taco Tuesday's not bad.
It's not good.
Well, it depends on your taco.
I'll just have a taco.
I'll just have two tacos.
But then we should have margaritas too.
We should do margaritas.
We're doing tacos.
And it feels like.
I've got those limes.
I don't want it to go to waste.
And if it's in the fridge tomorrow, I'm going to have two bad days. So I should just eat eight tacos now.
And get this naughty, naughty, naughtiness out of the way on Tuesday.
Yeah.
And then you're just derailed.
And you wake up the next day,
and you're just like, that was so good.
How good was that Mexican and Wanaka?
That was brilliant.
Oh, yeah, that's amazing.
Amigos.
Amigos and Wanaka.
If you're ever in Wanaka's.
What was the best?
What was the generally graded from best?
Because they've got a huge selection of tacos.
There was a cheeseburger taco.
No, you are a trash man.
That was yum, but it wasn't.
It was yum.
It was yum, but it wasn't the best taco.
I think there was a duck.
The duck. The duck was good, and the brisket was good. You know, cook all those't. It was yum. It was yum, but it wasn't a good taco. I think there was a duck. The duck.
The duck was good and the brisket was good.
You know, cook all those ducks.
They are delicious.
Yeah.
Cook up the ducks, man.
That lake's full of them, man.
They just keep coming.
Yeah.
Hoisin, bit of hoisin.
Spring onions.
The hoisin is make-coming.
Cucumber and duck.
Yeah.
You've got to eat them all.
We'll get some duck pancakes.
We're just going to get duck pancakes after the show.
No.
Now I've got them.
Look, did you see that?
You twisted his arm.
Did you see that toast?
The crepe, the duck pancake with the crepe
and then the duck on and some hoisin
and some cucumber and some cilantro
and some spring onion.
Sticky sauce like a crispy skin.
You've got them, you've got them.
Put it in my mouth.
Put it in my mouth.
How easy is it to twist your friend's arm?
More text messages.
I always say that I'm done with drinking,
but I can't help but be tempted by the cocktails with the girls.
I say no maybe three times
and then just absolutely crumple into a cosmopolitan.
Crumple into a cosmopolitan.
I tried to become vegan,
but my friends wanted to go for brunch
and they all eat a bacon-heavy breakfast.
That's what the B in breakfast stands for.
Bacon, yeah.
And brunch.
Someone texted saying, saying the word surely always gets them.
Surely.
Surely.
You drag it.
Surely not.
Oh, no, I can't go.
Surely.
My favourite one is.
Surely you can find five minutes.
Oh, you can come for brunch.
No, no, no, I can't.
Oh, well, the old you.
The old you would have. The old you would have. Yes. Oh, you can come for brunch. No, no, no, I can't. Oh, well, the old you. The old you would have.
The old you would have.
Yes.
Oh, man.
That gets you.
The old you would have.
Come have a cocktail with us on Friday.
No, I can't.
I've got to go home.
I'm being good.
Oh, the old you would have been there.
You've changed.
Yes, you've changed.
That day.
And you're like, no, I'm still young and free and cool.
And then you mention someone that they might be slightly threatened by.
All of you can't.
I'll see if Kendall can.
Well, no. Nah. You know, Kendall and I, I'm just thinking now can't. I'll see if Kendall can. Well, no.
Nah.
You know, Kendall and I,
I'm just thinking now,
Kendall and I always have a good time.
Hotter.
Kendall's hotter.
Yeah, hot wing man.
Oh my God.
Aaron just texted me and he's like,
yeah, you go out tonight.
It's all good.
So I'll come.
Yeah, we're all good.
Oh, so you are going to come?
Yeah, I'll come.
Okay.
Should I still invite Kendall?
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay, I won't invite Kendall.
I think I just would like to nicely have someone at one time.
Yeah, it would be actually.
Somebody else said,
a friend who I was heavily attracted to
had sworn abstinence after a breakup.
I put a lot of effort into derailing it
and we had a great night.
Okay.
Work, mate.
Did you bring lunch?
Me, yes.
Work, mate.
But we should probably go to the French bakery.
No, I brought lunch. I brought lunch. Nope. Yeah, that's boring. I'm should probably go to the French bakery. No, I've got lunch.
I've got lunch.
Nope.
Yeah, that's boring.
I'm going to go get a croissant.
Play it.
ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Hayley a little quiet there with her third Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- cafe with the coffee. Don't eat with your mouth full. No, it's don't talk with your mouth full.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Don't eat with your mouth open.
Don't talk with your mouth full.
But people always say don't eat with your mouth full.
I always say, oh, sorry, I was just talking out loud.
When I'm saying things, people are like, what? I go, oh, sorry, I was just talking out loud.
They're like, thinking out loud.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Are you good with this?
Because I'm going to nug.
Yeah, I'll take it from here. Oh, yeah. Okay. Are you good with this? Because I'm going to nudge. Yeah, I'll take it
from here.
Move the mic.
So this, I've been
diving into the
backlog of podcasts
of a podcast called
20,000 Hertz, which
is a podcast all
about sound.
It's a fascinating
podcast.
Is it?
It is.
Well, it sounds
boring.
It's not.
Well, it does.
Is there any true crime?
Is there any murder mystery?
Any dead white girls?
There haven't been murders yet.
But I did learn about how, well, this was in the same one
because we were talking about this episode is about sounds under the sea.
Oh, okay.
And certain species of whale have started communicating
in a much higher pitch because their old pitch was the same
frequency as boat motors, so they couldn't hear
each other. Oh, so they changed.
We have...
This is the other thing about ruining the oceans, humans.
We have. We have filled
the oceans with sound pollution.
And like heaps of species are unable to communicate
anymore because of the frequencies
that are in the oceans of all
manner of things.
I wouldn't even have thought about that.
The sound under the sea, yeah.
Because when we dive under the sound of the waves and stuff crashing at the beach,
it's what you hear.
And I'm not a scuba diver and I never will be because the thought of being under the water
terrifies me.
I'd rather go to space than too deep into the ocean.
I'd rather just stay at home.
Or just chill out at home watching some telly.
Eating nuggies.
Eating nuggies and a little cafe.
But under the sea, very noisy.
With natural sounds and we've gone and muddled it up with all these other sounds.
So when you say the whales have changed their, are they just putting an accent on maybe?
So they used to be like.
Problematic one as well.
And now they're like.
They've brought it up to a frequency.
Yeah. So they're some of the loud brought up to a frequency. Oh.
Yeah.
So they're some of the loudest things in the ocean, the whales.
They can communicate over hundreds of miles.
Right.
Wildly far.
However, today's fact of the day is about the list of unexplained sounds of the sea.
And I can play you some of these sounds.
Oh, okay.
This one is called the upsweep.
It is an unidentified sound detected on America's NOAA Equatorial Autonomous Hydrophone Array.
Sorry?
This happened.
You know.
It's just underground, underwater sound monitoring.
So this was loud enough to be recorded throughout the Pacific.
Now, if you spin the globe around to a certain part and see how big the Pacific Ocean is.
Oh, it's huge.
It's huge.
It's monstrously huge.
Okay, go.
This is the sound.
This is Upsweep from 1991.
I hate it.
It sounds like an alarm, like a boom.
It does.
It sounds a little bit like an alarm.
And they don't know what that is.
It was roughly located
between New Zealand
and South America.
They've never confirmed it
but they speculate
it's some sort of
underwater volcanic activity.
But it hasn't been
repeated since.
Like in the club.
Yeah.
Okay, I've got another one for you.
Have they ruled out
it's not an underwater club?
It's not an underwater club.
That we know of
but it's a big ocean so it might be an underwater club? It's not an underwater club. That we know of, but it's a big ocean, so it might be an underwater club.
It's 165.2 million kilometres squared.
The Pacific Ocean.
Yeah, she's a big dog.
Yeah.
Don't call it that.
Yeah.
The ocean.
She's a curvy dog.
She's a big girl.
She's a bubbly.
She's bubbly.
She's bubbly, vivacious.
She's a bubbly girl.
She's a buxom.
She's a buxom ocean.
Yeah.
She's a buxom ocean. Thank. She's a buxom ocean.
Thank you.
This one was from July 7th, 1997.
Yeah.
It is called The Whistle.
It was recorded in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean.
I don't hear anything.
It's not whistling.
No, couldn't hear anything. It's not whistling. No, couldn't hear.
Oh my God, I heard it.
I heard it.
Was there a whistle in there?
Yeah, there was a whistle in there.
It's not one of those noises only young people can hear.
Oh, maybe.
Maybe that was getting rid of the young loitering whales and dolphins.
Yeah, right.
Sea mammal.
This is the bloop.
Oh. Oh, that just sounds like, do you know when you get in a spa pool,
yeah, and you fart, or there's air in your shorts.
I mean, when you were a kid and you just go farting in the bath,
and you were like, oh, my God.
And even as an adult, you still need to explain that it was air trapped in your togs.
Yeah.
When you get in the spa pool and it pops out your leg.
So that bloop, that's sped up a little bit. But you might be thinking spa pool and it pops out your leg. So that blow up.
That's sped up a little bit.
But you might be thinking,
yeah, that just sounds like something dropping into the ocean.
But it was heard
for over 5,000 kilometres
underwater.
So they're just like,
I'm not sure if it would be.
They don't know what it is.
So they think
it may have been
a massive cracking
of an ice sheet
underwater.
Ah.
In the Antarctic.
But it was so loud and so much broke off and it created such movement that when it went into the ocean,
it created that noise and went all the way up.
And it's just all this podcasters.
It's like, here's the noise.
This episode was just about mysterious sounds of the sea.
This one's called Julia, and I'm not sure,
because when they said this one's called Julia,
I expected it to be like, Julia.
Julia. Julia.
Julia. Julia.
Julia.
You don't do it.
Julia.
That one creeped me out.
It sounds like a whale, but they said it was way too heard and way too far away, but it was like...
It sounds like when you go under the water in the pool in summer
and you're like, I'm going to yell and you see if you can hear me.
Do we know, have we ruled out that it's not like a US submarine
and they're playing Gwen Stefani or something?
Yeah, that does sound like a bit of Gwen Stefani.
It was recorded in 1999, so that still would have been
the no doubt phase of Gwen Stefani.
It's a no doubt, yeah. Five years before Love, Angel, Music, Baby.
Okay.
Don't Speak.
Which was a 2004 release.
It may have been Don't Speak.
I think it was Don't Speak.
Spiderwebs?
Spiderwebs or Don't Speak.
Walking in a spiderweb, I leave a message and I call you back.
It may have been actually that sounded similar.
But there's lots more of them in his entire Wikipedia page dedicated to list of unexplained
sounds.
I'm enjoying it.
So today's fact of the day is underwater recording equipment has recorded sounds so loud and have
traveled so far and no one knows what they are.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
An Australian driver has got off the charge of using a mobile phone while driving by saying,
I was in fact enjoying a packet of Dippets.
Like LeSnack.
Like a LeSnack, yeah.
Right.
Now, did we get LeSnacks back?
We cross now to producer's booth and LeSnack,
show LeSnack correspondent, producer Jarrod.
He's shaking his head.
He's not upset.
So we haven't got LeSnacks back, but there is an alternative.
I've forgotten the name.
Are they called Dippets?
It's called Cheese and Crackers.
It might be called Dippets.
I don't actually know.
But are they in an individual packet?
Yeah, so one packet with cheese and crackers in it
with a little peelable lid and delicious cheesy spread.
Donuts?
Is that the donut?
Yeah, that's it.
Donuts.
Because you were Devo when LeSnacks exited New Zealand, weren't you?
He took a week off work. He took a week off work. Yeah. Every day you Because you were Devo when the LeSnacks exited New Zealand, weren't you? He took a week off work.
Oh, mate, I was crushed.
Yeah.
Every day you'd have your Red Bull and your LeSnack and your great break.
Breakfast of champions.
And now it's the same breakfast but with a different brand.
And then once every three weeks he'd take a poo.
And boy, it was hard.
And it was black.
It was like a rabbit's poo.
It was tar.
Black. Solid was tar. Black.
Solid little structure.
So how does eating a snack look like you're on your phone?
So it was a mounted camera.
It wasn't a police officer that spotted it. It was a high mounted camera that looks down into vehicles.
Onto the lap.
And it identifies using AI of both hands,
basically if it can see two white things
or two lighter toned things interrupting
the blackness of the steering wheel.
Oh my, I might get it.
Can you buy a steering wheel from...
A fake hand?
Yeah, a fake hand.
Two fake hands.
Yeah, because I always love just one hand.
But that's not a problem because it will identify
you've got one hand, take the photo,
then say one hand detected.
They will look at the photo and be like,
the other hand doesn't seem to be on a mobile phone. I'm going to get two fake hands for a steering wheel.
And then drive with your knees.
And then you can eat a little snack and be on your phone.
Don't do that.
A little snack doesn't look like a phone, though.
Or is it just blue?
The angle he's holding it at.
Is there a photo?
Have you got the photo taken?
And I reckon it just looks like a phone.
But he's saying I was enjoying a Le Snack.
Oh no, because that's the cheese.
He's got two hands.
Yeah, but he's holding it cheese end up.
And at a really steep angle where the crack isn't deep enough.
The cheese wouldn't fall out because it's a sort of a liquidy, sort of a solid.
But also, is this a defence because you're not allowed to eat and drive, are you?
Yes, you are.
You are.
Yeah.
Really?
Probably not a two-handed meal.
No, I thought you weren't.
I thought there was like some kind of...
You know I love a salad when I drive.
He said, I was opening a packet of Dipperts.
So maybe it is illegal to open it, but he's got them there on the loophole of,
I was opening it, not eating it.
Oh, right. He received a notice
in the mail saying he'd been fined $352
Australian dollars and
$5 demerit points. Yeah, lots of demerit.
They love a demerit point.
He said he got his lawyer
to argue that he was, and used
what is now known as the LeSnack
defense. And it worked.
To say he was simply trying to have some afternoon tea
and he was enjoying, he was opening it to try to enjoy a dipper.
Wow.
If there are any, like, I don't know if anyone knows,
like, what the law is with eating and driving,
like, any cops listening or any, like, lawyers.
You absolutely are allowed to eat and drive.
You're just not allowed to put anything in the pantry.
It is not legally illegal to eat or drink behind the wheel in New Zealand.
Yeah, dude.
Sausage rolls.
Are you kidding me?
What is the last time you ate a sausage roll and you weren't driving?
I don't do sausage rolls.
And I'm one of these people, if I'm driving, we're eating.
I'm sorry.
Do you have respect?
Just leave this room?
What did you just say?
I'm sorry.
Sausage rolls.
What's wrong with a sausage roll?
Sausage roll is amazing.
You're nugs over sausage rolls every time.
I'm not talking a short cut Alison Holst sausage roll that's been overcooked.
I'm talking a long.
Bakery.
Very flaky.
Double banger.
Very flaky.
Of course.
It's when you eat it out of the bag.
Sometimes you get a little bit of paper in your mouth because you're like sucking it out of the bag.
Well, would the idea maybe to get a phone cover
that looks like a snack packet?
Yes.
Or a food.
Or here's a wild idea.
Don't be on your phone while you're driving.
Oh.
But what, you're going to put your phone down
and not know what's happening in the world for five minutes?
You might, this lawyer,
this is the other thing when you learn a bit more
about the lawyer, you realise this guy, he is the other thing when you learn a bit more about the lawyer,
you realise this guy, he's practised law for 20 years and has represented some very high profile drug dealers and suppliers, murderers and thieves.
And now he's got someone off with the Lysnach defence.
Yeah, and now the Lysnach defence will be forever in his name.
So,
are we old now?
Is that what's happened?
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I cried yesterday
watching an episode of Bluey.
I'll be opening it on us with you
because I am like,
God.
It was an episode where
Bluey and Mackenzie,
who are like dogs,
Okay.
Are you?
Yep. Are you? Yep.
I know I hear it because this is the third time I've told the story.
And they go and hang out with the older kids for the day.
They have like playmates and they're like,
so Bluey's like six, but Mackenzie's like 12.
Not Mackenzie, Mackenzie's six as well.
The other dog they hang out with is 12
and Bluey's like wants to build a fairy town
and she's like, yeah, let's do that.
And the other one's like, let's play barky boats and they's like wants to build a fairy town and she's like yeah let's do that and
the other one's like let's play barky boats and they're like floating bark down a river and you're
like like six-year-olds are just like having fun and then the older kids are a bit more like
oh I'm gonna go and talk to the older kid and then you see the difference between a six-year-old who
just wants to like play and have fun and play fairies and do all the stuff and like race a bark
but a bark down river and then a 12-year-'s like, I'm kind of more interested in just like going and talking to that
boy for a while and then
this whole thing happens and then
before you know it, it's this
sort of like whole thing about how your kids
are growing up really quick before you realize. What is happening?
I don't know. It's so bizarre
that he would just keep talking like we
care. They are growing up so quickly.
You know there's more other
stuff on Netflix and stuff, eh?
This is what I've seen. I've told you, I watch Bluey because
I sit down and have my lunch and it's five minutes long and I watch
the episode and then I go and do something because if I start
a long show, I'll be sitting for a whole hour.
Your poor digestive system. Well, I watch two episodes
of Bluey. I watch two episodes of Bluey.
How many episodes of Bluey are there? But this episode was basically
about like, that
gap feels like nothing as a parent
but your kids change so much.
And then whenever I think about that, I think,
and now I'm old.
If they're getting older, that means I'm that much older too.
And while I haven't changed much in the last whatever years,
it's undeniable that we're all creeping slowly towards death.
Yeah, we're dying.
We got born and then we started dying.
Well, I'm over halfway.
Well, on that note.
You don't eat this much red meat and hit 85.
No.
You don't drink this much whiskey.
We're actually insane that my Uncle Graham, God bless him,
turned 100 years old yesterday.
Uncle Graham.
Uncle Graham.
Happy birthday, Uncle Graham.
What's his diet like?
Dude, that dude, you know what his secret is?
He's always been surrounded by women who look after him.
Oh, right.
Okay.
His older sister. Yeah, those women don't live as long, do they? No, always been surrounded by women who look after him. Oh, right. Okay. His older sister.
Yeah, those women don't live as long, do they?
No, they don't.
His wife looked after him.
He had five daughters.
They all looked after him.
Goodness.
I'm only a third of the way through my life because I'm going to get 100.
I'm 33.
So I'll get 99.
How many bottles of wine did you drink last night?
Two to myself.
Two to myself.
And Aaron had two.
That makes four between the two of us.
Two, two, two, we had a bad day, and we call that maths.
Maths, maths, maths.
Anyway, what is making me feel like I'm getting old,
even though I'm only a third of the way through my life?
And it's not bluey.
It's not bluey.
It's TikTok and Gen Z.
Again!
Because they have officially changed the uniform
for going out. Now going out
was always like, no matter
what, even if you had a cute dress or something,
if you were ever in a panic, jeans
and a nice top. Every girl my age
will know this. And I say girl, not woman.
And nice top. Jeans and a nice
top. Boot, put on a boot.
Jeans, nice top.
Glitzy top, you can go to a dance.
You can go to a restaurant.
You can go anywhere.
Yeah, versatile.
Now, Gen Z.
This is you, Shannon, at the social media desk.
They've got a new uniform, apparently, of fun pants and a tank top.
Yeah, absolutely.
So not a nice top.
No.
So the tank's plain.
What's a tank top?
Plain.
A singlet.
Plain singlet top or a tank.
What if it's winter?
What if it's cold?
You'd need a Kathmandu puffer jacket.
I think quite often we'll go for an alcohol blanket
is the consensus.
You see, that's classic.
That still remains.
Yeah, so that's still a thing.
That's how people die of hypothermia.
But go on.
Wow.
Yeah, so the thing will be to wear some fun pants,
quite often coloured, quite often flared.
What are fun pants?
Well, she's wearing some fun pants right now.
I've got some.
Embroidered jeans.
Embroidered jeans.
But the thing with, like, jeans and a nice top is
the jeans are the most expensive thing and that,
you know, you wear those all the time.
Yeah.
I know what you're saying.
It's cheaper to get nicer tops than it is for different bottoms.
To get fun pants.
The fun pants are quite often like a cotton
or like a real tight around the bootay and then the flare.
I've been seeing these bootays around.
Yeah, so they're not as expensive as like a jean.
I haven't.
What about that pair of pants we saw yesterday?
And I said to Hayley,
I haven't seen a pair of pants like that since 1998.
Now, they were strapped tight across that bootay.
I don't know if you noticed that, Vaughan, but I noticed that part.
I only noticed the material and it looked like carpet.
Like a corduroy?
Is that what you were...
No, it wasn't a corduroy.
It was like a pinstripe sort of fleecy carpet thing.
Yeah, but yeah, so the focal point now for an outfit is the pant, not the top.
The top will be a tight little crop top, black or white generally.
This feeling of fun, inclusive.
That sounds like a focal point.
Now, because I'm not wearing, one, I don't wear jeans because I, you know,
I've worked on my badonk donk for years now and it's not jean friendly.
And my thighs love each other too much.
So I'm a dress girl.
But I'm not squeezing into a tight little,
I was about to use a different word.
A little top with my muff top hanging out
and then expensive jeans that I can't wear because of thigh.
Don't hide the muffs.
Don't be ashamed of the muff.
I think it's for most people.
That's what I mean.
I was just trying to like, wow.
You should definitely have the muff away.
I was going to say, you're going to get it.
How fun are these pants?
It's low rise is the thing as well.
So there's no muffin top because it's just all out.
I saw G-string over the top of jeans and I thought, it's back.
I was like, no.
You guys don't make sense to me.
We made these mistakes.
Listen to us.
You're going to regret it.
You're going to look back and be like, that is embarrassing.
There's a photo from Fletch in 2002 with
white jeans and a black G on underneath and it's
piped right up at the top.
I know. And I regret that photo every day.
With his little tribal tattoo on the
small of his back.
God, getting that laser off hurt.
It really did. But I tell you
what, did I pull at the arm back or what?
Oh my god.
Did I what? Oh, my God. Yeah, dude. Did I what?
Oh.
Who did Tummy do it for? Yeah, that was my tum-tums.
That was my tum-tum-tums.
Hey, guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show.
Not for me.
Vaughan?
Nowhere even close.
Nowhere even close.
Nowhere even close.
You haven't been here long, have you?
No, I haven't.
No.
Well, if you were listening and you had fun,
why don't you give us
a little review and a rating?
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
