from the ZM Podcast Network. This is... Fleshwoman in Haley's Big Pod. Thanks to animates, making happy happen for pets. Welcome to the show. Are we nearly there? No, actually, I don't want to keep wishing away my life living the moment.

I'm happy to be here. Friday, nearly Friday. You guys look nice in your navy blues today. You have accidentally matched, haven't we? Yeah, it's cute. Oh, no, this was no accident. He's got cameras in my house and I wake up scurs. He sees what I wear.

I don't like that. The top six, what have you got for us today? The top six people that could go on the $20 bill, there is chat about the fact that I got a handful of crisp 20s yesterday noticed that Queen Elizabeth the second is still very prominent on the 20s.

So there's talk, again, quiet newsday, about what could go on our 20 instead. It doesn't feel right putting Chuck on there, does it? Nah. Well, because he'll be gone soon too. Yeah, it's sort of a waste of Do we go straight to Waste to ink? I reckon get some longevity.

Do we go straight to George? Or just let's just have some Kiwi icons on there, you know? Hell yeah. Jill's top, get her on. The top twins, both. Oh yeah. Yeah, actually get them both on. Get them both on.

Well, you've got some suggestions coming up. Top six suggestions for the face on the 20. Win some cash at 8 o'clock with dealer reveal. Bank of Brin will be in. Top price still there, $3,000. But bear in mind that there is a low price of $3. when Bank of Brin makes you an offer your chance to play at 8 o'clock.

Next on the show though, there's been some science, some research, and it's not great news if you live with other people in your house, which most of us do. Yeah. Because there's something that you share with all of them.

Oh, I live with my parents. Yep, well, there's something that you share with them living in the same house. Okay, grim. So if you've got some gross flatmates, or some gross family members, This mic gross you out We delve into the science next

Play ZDM's Flashhorn and Haley Well scientists have found That roommates, flatmates They're Americans call them roomies You're roomies Is that's weird Than flatmates? Why is there a difference? I understand at college when they're like

This is my roommate When they're literally sharing our room With someone in a college dorm but it is weird When people call them like roommates When their housemates make sense Your roommates unless you are sharing a bedroom Well, the scientists have found that roommates share about a quarter of their mouth bacteria. Oh, yuck.

Stop kissing. So if you've got, no, if you're just living with people in the same house, different rooms, whatever, in your mouth. How? Does it float between shared spaces, your breathing, some airborne, dishes? So they examine the gut and mouth microbiomes of four over 400 people that live together. and they tended to have similar strains than people that lived around them. Is it because we're just like breathing.

Mouty and spithful things and touching and then touch your mouths and touching surfaces. So obviously they found that romantic couples that lived together had even more mouth bacteria in common. Yeah, that makes sense. Due to kissing and kissing and looking and all that kind of stuff. Fighting, spitting, spitting's back. Your spitting's back, ma.

But yeah, I guess just sharing the space and breathing and everything. We spend five hours a day together in this small three by three, four room. Oh, we'd she'd have probably about 50% shed bacteria. And you guys don't even kiss me on the mouth despite it all my attempt. Even office like in the office. Like, but it grosses me out because you just think about all the gross flatmates or, you know, people that you've shared a space with or a dock heart. And you're just like, oh, yeah, yeah. And it's not like, everyone.

Oh, yeah. You went straight to docking. Or a hostel. Yeah. But you guys, like, I've never lived with a stranger. You know, like I've only ever flattered with friends. Yeah. I only lived in two flats and then that was sort of it.

Oh, must be nice. Well, then I went off and lived with like boyfriends, right? Right. Boyfriend. I only lived with one boyfriend? Mm. I think so. Two?

But I, but one. Two? One. Is it one or two, Vaugh? It's one. Wow. It's kind of two. In the eyes of the law.

Give it six more arms. It's one and my mum and dad. But I've never lived with a weird stranger that like, you'd be like, oh, I don't even choose you to share my mouth. Yeah, I have. My mouth bacteria with. I don't even choose you to share my mouth with is quite a. You're getting all their, like, gross habits.

Like, if they smoke or they eat bad, you're getting all of their microbiome. Or they go out kissing mingas and coming home, and then you've got minger mouth because of them. Ew. Ew. That's gross. You've got minger mouth. They give me your mingers. or mouth, flat mine?

Do you think we've just caused an increase in searches for with that and single bedroom apartments? I actually went to the dentist yesterday. Did you? One of my old fillings replaced. How's he gold tooth? He was like, nice tooth. I was like, Marlowe.

Marlowe. Moose. I kept forgetting you have a gold tooth. It's ridiculous. I do it to like catch a little glimmer of it. I don't think we had a penciled and talked about it in the show, But it was a podcast for and don't rob us.

Don't rob future us. But if you're listening. Just start listening to our podcast because something happened I couldn't remember if it was going to be a podcast or not. You don't pay attention. Because didn't you have a hot dentist and now they're gone? Dude, I'm so good. I'm so sorry.

Wait, you don't have a hot dentist anymore. Oh. She was. I'm sorry. If I might speak, we're off the record. We're on here. Just between French. She was insanely attractive.

See, I wouldn't want that. I've got minced stuck in the mum. That was the one where I didn't know where I didn't know where I looked her thing. You're disgusting. We'll follow this up in a little bit of pod where Vaughn can speak more freely maybe. Yeah, I think so. Play Z-N's, Fleshhorn and Haley. If you are a mum, give us a text actually, 9-6-9-6.

If you are a mum and you have a boy. Boy mums. Boy mums. Also subtext 9-66-9-6 if you're a boy mum that is one of those terrible boy mums that, doesn't like say, oh yeah, he's at fault. You know those boy moms that say boys will be boys, but you're like, that's not what women should be saying at all. Boys will be boys?

No, no, no, we don't say that anymore. Yeah, and you simply must parent those boys. Terrible news, if you are a mother in particular of a boy. Or you're thinking about having kids. And there is a risk that one of them may be a boy in particular. You do a pretty good contraception. I'll say your audio contraception. We are.

Yeah, we are. Yeah. Because you hear about our fun, cool lives. We were just booking a trip up the Eiffel Tower. Instead of having a child. Yeah. I'm going to climb a power pylon. Now, um, to make...

We'll zoom you from the top. If anybody is listening from Transpower and can get me up a giant pylon, sort of New Zealand's Eiffel Tower. That's funny. To compete with these guys because someone can't afford Europe. We should get... And it is wild that he's still sad and his friends aren't paying for him to go to Europe. But anyway...

Europe. We're playing for Europe now. Yes, please. Dalek Barley. was cheap. I mean, we love you and we wanted you to be happy, but well, I'm going to climb a bylon with or without permission, and if I end up electrocuted

you've only got yourselves to blame. Well, a cognitive aging study, so basically, like, how fast are you, is your brain dying? Jesus Christ, that is a grim subject. Look, there over 13,000 parents

and found cognitive deterioration was faster in mothers of sons than those with daughters or no children Oh no that's why Bev my mum does the crossword No she does the Werdol every morning as well

She still does word or she had two boys She had two boys that stressed her out and She's in cognitive decline We'll get this the effect the cognitive Deterioration Get stronger with each son The more sons you have Wait so you're the mum of like six boys

Yeah Okay we've got some messages in mum of three boys here aged between four and nine, how ruined is my life? Great news is it's not your life. It's just your brain. So other research found a mother's risk, I'm really sorry to the listeners who were mothers of sons, who are hearing this. Other research found a mother's risk of death per year increased by 7% per son. Oh God, really? What? So there is a point where if you had so many kids, you're guaranteed to die. It gets to 100. I guess when you have enough, if you have enough, Is it compound interest?

It sounds like it. Oh my God. About 11% increased odds of poor health as you age per son. Whereas fathers didn't show the same immediate, the same kind of weight, I guess, of impact. But they are still impacted more by sons than having daughters. Somebody messaged in 226 said, I'm a mother of two girls and one boy

and the boy is by far the easiest kindest one. Do you think of the boy's the youngest? Yeah, maybe. Oh my God, get this. So part of, part of this is why you might age more poorly with sons is because daughters provide more natural social support and often can fall into an informal caregiver role.

Isn't that interesting? Whereas boys are not. So later in life, like we daughters would be more inclined to like care for you, look after you a bit more check in on you. Whereas son's like, well your parents have literally moved in with you. They're not living with your brother, are they? For sure. For sure. And I would say

in terms of like emotional support to my parents, I'd pick up more of the slack than my brother. Not just because he lives overseas, but because he's a man. Can't do it. Right. God, this is terrible research. I wouldn't take the list. I have a two-year-old

and currently on our way to hospital for a C-section for our second son. I'd just leave him in there. Keep him in. Keep him in because the moment he sort of infiltrates your life on, science says it's just going to get worse and worse for you. A lesbian couple of three boys message been saying, Oh no! How eff are we?

Yeah, pretty he's. You're aft. I think I had a lesbian. Two moms? Double mum situation into a trifector of boys. Far out. You're quadruple effed. The Z&M Podcast Network.

From the Fletchborn and Haley group chat, this is the top six. What's that? It's like a microwave. It's the end of the song. Yes. Oh, okay. Oh, I thought we had an... Jesus Christ. Oh, it just sounded like a microwave on, sweetie.

Well, I don't you want people to hear that at home on their clock radio and be confused and thought they had some sort of static interference. The $20 note has still got Queen Elizabeth the second on it. And, well, there's talk that it's time for change. Which Queen Lizzie is still on there? Is it young or older? Mid. Mid.

She was a great queen. Because there were younger ones, eh? And then they were like, they aged drunk. No, it was definitely later in eight. It was later in... Because do you know, this year it's going to be four years since she passed away. No. Yeah, dude.

2020 she passed away. It's going to be four years in September. We was right bloody here. Yeah, I know. Because we're royalists, aren't we? We are going to. Oh, Katie. So, yeah, it's been four years and she's still kicking around on the note.

Do you think people need context for why we always say, oh, Yeah, it's because Mike Hosking cried when the queen died. When it was announced the queen died yet, he doesn't cry about anything else. No. There was thoughts he couldn't cry. Yeah, yes. And he didn't have any sort of, like, feelings. And Katie was so upset.

She couldn't talk. Katie was upset, his wife. We're royalists. Yeah. We're royalists, aren't we? Yeah. God, he loved that woman. The queen.

And I assume his wife's everything she said for. Yeah, so four years ago. And she would have turned 100 this year. happy heavenly birthday to the queen but she's still on our twin

also some context for that we all find it very funny when people wish a dead person happy birthday on Facebook

and that person never had Facebook because they might have even been dead before Facebook came out Happy heavenly birthday Kingus Khan We always wish

Kingus Khan a happy a happy 100th heavenly birthday Yeah heavenly birthday to our great granddad

Genghis Khan He would have loved TikTok If you're of Asian descent there's a high chance you could be wishing

your great times 10 grandfather Yeah, there you go. A happy heavenly birthday. Well, 1,000 heavenly candles on your cake. Yeah. So, uh, there's talk about replacing the queen on the $20 note.

are people to put on the $20 node. Graham Henry. I was thinking about like rugby. Oh, he's so great. I love him. And he's just confused him and he's so grumpy. And he's like, oh, my man. And so it's too late.

He's so grumpy. I love it. He's so grumpy. It's so great. Like you're, like, you know, think about, we've had our Richie McCawls, our Dan Carlers, our Buck Shelfids. Like, all of those legendary rugby players, but like coach-wise. No, I just think he looks grumpy.

It's not his brow. He's lovely. Every time we've spoken to him or you see him, he's so lovely. Oh, and he's so self-aware and very funny. He's got such a great sense of him. You get him on the night. Did he have herpes? No, but they did that amazing campaign a couple of years ago.

New Zealand, the best place to have herpes. And he was in it. To destigmatize. The herpes situation. He's a good man. But then everybody was like, is everybody in that ad got? There was never really like, I don't have herpes, but I, you know. Yeah.

Because then if you're like, I don't have herpes, no one asked, everyone thinks you've got herpes. But you wouldn't want to be like that because the whole campaign was to destigma the entire idea of having herpes. Well, I mean, maybe he does. We don't know. That's the thing and it doesn't matter. New Zealand, the best place to have them. Number...

Maybe put that on the note, then. Herpes. Underneath it. Best place in the world to have herpes. Number three on the list of the top six things are people to put on the $20 note. A traffic cone. Well, yeah, we are the country of traffic cones, aren't we? They're so prolific here

We've almost, you know, named it a native species Endemic, I think would be the term. Not necessarily from here, but it's settled. They're beautiful. Settled here. Love a traffic kind. Saw one in a creek recently. I was like, nice to see them free range.

Yeah. Swimming, enjoying that fresh water. They get a bit bigger too when they're free range. They do actually. Yeah, they do. I don't know the traffic, I don't actually like the traffic cone farms and Marlborough sounds though. No, neither.

It's not natural. It's unethical. Yeah, yeah. And you can just just taste the difference. You can taste when your cone's been caged. And number two on the list of the top six things or people to put on the $20 note. We can get a Tina from Turner's on there.

Oh, lovely. Yeah, no one's changed the advertising landscape like Tina from Turner's. Why don't we just open the note up to sponsorship? Just chuck a big corporate logo on there. That's a great idea. You know? Shemeased We have.

Yeah. Just up the Turner family. That own from Turner's Car Auctions. Do you know they're the same tuners from Turners and Growers? The TNG, the, the. fruit and veg baby. Dude, give yourself a little time to have a deep dive

into the rabbit hole that is a tuna family of news. No, business. Money, man. Business people. I think it's in many, many pies. Oh, good. Good on them. And number one on the list of the top six things of people to put on the $20 note are the salt and vinegar Waka-Changis.

Oh, yeah, iconic. It's a good chip. Yeah, and because it's a spark, already green. Yeah, it's a great chip. I mean, if you don't want the branding on there, maybe just the chip. Yeah. A really great chip with the deep thing.

Proud about chips. It's got a weird. We love our chips. That is the day's top six. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch for it and Haley. This was always rumoured and then not confirmed. God, they keep their private life, private, Tom Holland and Zendaya.

I love that they do because they're not like thirsty for fame and publicity. And do you see in interviews how they talk about each other? Yeah, they respect. Yeah. Like, you know, Tom Holland went sober a few years ago. I don't think he had a massive problem with alcohol. but he was like drinking more than he wanted to. He's got a non-alcoholic beer.

No alcoholic beer thing. And then he was saying that Z, as he calls it, he was like, Z doesn't really drink. She's never been a drinker. Yeah. And he's so, he wanted something that she could drink and enjoy and she doesn't really love beer, but she loves a shandy.

Oh yeah. So he made a non-alcoholic shandy, which if you didn't know what a shandy is, it's beer and lemonade. Yeah. Delicious, some treat. And the way they talk about each other, it's so sweet.

And the respect, I love it. And then, right, she started rocking a ring. And then people were like, are they married and all these rumors that they were married but they never confirmed it because whose stylist kind of said they were? Yeah, her stylist let something slip right about what she wore to the wedding and everyone was like, and he was like, uh, uh,

anyway, so Tom Holland has absolutely let it slip because obviously everyone was asking about it. And he did an interview with Esquire, you know, magazine in the UK. And it was talking about all the rumors and there were AI photos and stuff of their wedding that wasn't true. And he was like, the interviewer said, oh, you know, did you have to say to your family,

you know, address these fake AI generated wedding photos that went viral? And he was like, oh, I didn't need to because they were there. And that was it. That's it. They were there at the winter. That's a confirmation. So that's a confirmation.

Family attended an actual wedding. Also, the perfect day to drop it because Spider-Man brand-new day, the second trailer comes out today. Oh, sorry. I've never seen a Tom Holley. on Spider-Man film. I know.

They are really, I saw the trailer for this, and don't ask me why I've become a bit sort of more indoctrinated into the nerd world as a fight. Why is that? Yeah, I'm not sure, but I've been finding myself in more sort of like, games. Not all of us. I find myself in the Lego aisle often. That's a great aisle. Are you kind of...

And having deep conversations about, like... Are you hanging out with a Vaughn type? How... Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I look, and then when I kiss him, I'm like, It's like Vaughn. I've got to like get Vaughn out of my head a bit.

And it's like, when this production house took over DC, then they were resetting the universe. Yeah, they are. You've got to talk to Jason Momoy about how they're resetting the DC universe. I was like, I don't, I'm not going to talk to Jason Mamoy about how we're resetting the DC universe. He was like, yeah, but when they took over the production house and it was written, and I'm like, okay.

I mean, he's got a good point. Jason Marmore is the first person to have been in both iterations of the DC universe. I know this, Vaughn. And I hate that I know. this. But the Spider-Man films do look good. They are really, really good. The new trailer looks good. I'm a big fan. See you at time zone,

I guess. The Fletch morning, Haley, Big Pod. Well, you would have heard in the news there. There was a Vietnamese restaurant, Fai Yen, Broadway and the harder new market in Auckland, and people are upset. Local retailers and neighbours and stuff upset because it's bright yellow and they were

going to expand and make it bigger and everyone was like, no. I just think it looks nice. It's a nice yellow. It's not like... I don't understand. Literally the store next to it, which is a bakery, has a big neon sign and green tiles.

It's not like it's all... If you've been to Newmark and Auckland, it's a shambles. Like there's sort of bits of everything. It's a much. The mall's amazing. And then everywhere's like a vacant. There's like every second...

There's a lady Augustine down the road. That's all pink and florals and stuff. It looks amazing. Yeah. What's the problem? I don't understand. So they say, you know, the yellow colours part. of their brand.

It's how we keep it warm. It's warm and that's how we welcome you. And people are just like, it's awful. Half yellow storefront. It is a warm, yeah. It is a warm yellow. But it's just a storefront. Like the top of the building is still.

The old bricks and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. So now they're in this kind of debate about whether or not they can keep it or. Why haven't they pulled out? Yeah, well, they pulled out of their like expansion that they were going to be doing. Are they pulling out a new market? I'll pull out a new market. Yeah.

You're on your own new bucket. No, beautiful. I can go off off today. Cold day. Oh yeah, I love it for a long time. Oh, yum. Well, we thought this morning, we would ask, what is your neighborhood I saw? Maybe it's your residential, you know, someone's got a horrendous house.

I was looking at, oh, so another famous street in Auckland would be Franklin Road. And if you know it, it's where all the ferry lights are. And it is lined with beautiful renovated villas, all a varying hues of cream and white. Maybe a grey. Is that a bulge? And is that a rule? Well, I don't know because up the top now I've noticed there is one that's just been freshly painted baby pink. I love it.

What? But I reckon, yeah, when you head are, I reckon there'll be a kaffaful about that. There'll be a kifah. It's Franklin Road, eh? It's about ula-la-la-la-la. All white villas, white-on-wai-on-wai. And this is like baby pink house. People be like, hagarish.

Hagarish. Well, sometimes people paint that, like, it's always boomers that go lavender-lomer. My pop had a lavender house. Yeah, lavender purplers. Almost lilac, like real bright purple. Yeah, well, someone goes like blue, too blue. But maybe you've got, you know, some garish fencing or, you know, maybe they're really putting their politics on their fence.

You know, those houses that are just like protests, no drilling, no this, no there. Every flag and you're like, I love that you have an opinion. All those people that have a boat that's just on stilts and they're forever doing it up. Yeah, or maybe just a real yuck building. Do you know what I love? Is it Kaiwaker? the pigeon house that's like a bird

there's a bird in Kiwocker in the front of the house the deck is a bird Isn't that a cheese Is that where they do the cheese I don't know Just over the bridge

On the left-hand side Heading north I don't know But the house front is a bird I just heard my dad You know you're heading north Just over the bridge on the left I would say

My neighbourhood I saw Is the apartment tower That has been abandoned Oh yeah You can see Aft constructed apartment building Yeah that you can see From all over Auckland

What's going to happen to that, it's tall, man. I don't know, yeah. Somebody said, my neighbourhood, eyesore is the gigantic ZM billboard with you ming is on it. Excuse me. Excuse you. Look again. Is that a KPI for marketing, though? It might be. It might be a KPI for marketing.

Thank you for that. They said gigantic. Yeah, yeah. That's good marketing. Somebody's admitting we are the eyesore. We own 16 cars. Oh, what? You are the eyesore.

You don't have enough garages to hide those. No. Okay, well, this is what we want to know this. morning. Oh, 800 dollars at them is our number. Give us a call. You can text through. 9-696. What is your neighbourhood I saw? So many messages. So many. Somebody's

messaged in the Wynoni Elvis Presley House. The Wynoni Alvis Presley. She said, I wish I could remember the address. It was, it's hard to describe but all you need to know is there's a life size Elvis.

Man, I saw some things when I was doing earthquake claims. It's, yeah, oh, you would have. You would have. You'd see some interiors, wouldn't you? Yeah, shit, yeah. Sarah joins us. Sarah, what's the neighbourhood eyesore?

Hi there. We were going to our rich friends place in Lang's Beach, and you passed this house on the way there, and they used to own that Thai restaurant. You know the one in New Market, and had the pink elephant out of the place? Yes, Thai elephant. It was by the motorway on ramp.

Correct. Yes. Yeah, so they've got that elephant in their front yard. but it looks really crap. It doesn't look like, you know, sculptorium artsy kind of thing. Wait, where did they buy it? You can forgive a time.

I think they used to own the Thai restaurant and they sold it so they took the... Yeah, they took the... It was very famous. Because a Thai, an elephant standing in front of a Thai restaurant, you're like, I get it. Beautiful. But an elephant in someone's front yard.

But it looks so shitty. It's really funny. Yeah. I know that elephant. It's huge, too. Like, bigger than a horse. It is elephant size. It is like.

Like, yeah. Yeah, I'm just looking to read. Is it red? Yeah, but it's real faded. It's a horrible colour. So it's gone pink. God, I bet those bloody rich assholes were on property at Lans. Beach weren't happy about that shit, I know.

I wouldn't imagine so. I love it. So good, Sarah, thank you. Your neighbourhood eyesight, science and messages. Somebody said, we used to have a house. I walk past it every day. It was the, it was called the hoarder's house. and there was literally a water's house

outside and inside was just filled with junk. Imagine inheriting that watch. You'd burn it down. Yeah, I'd be just... Oh no, I'd go in, bloody. I'd wear a mask, but I'd have a good rummage. Oh, you'd find some treats.

You'd think so, but then you find a bag of nappies and they've all got turds in the... Someone said shout out that Mormon temple in Manico. Oh, that thing is... That is ghastly. Yeah. Mormon temples in general are ghastly, They're garish and over the top.

I don't know who signed off on that, but they need a kick in the ass. And that's the first thing you see when you get into Auckland. I know, yeah. And you always fly over it as well. We went into Rambo's End and the kids thought it was part of Rambo's End. Yeah, it does. It looks like a sort of fun adventure house. And I was just like, no, that's a church.

Char blessed to those that celebrate, but that's garish. That's over the top. That's silly. Someone just message on, no, that family bought the elephant. They didn't own the other things. They chose to spend money on an elephant. People love elephant sculptures, though, and that is like, if you're collecting elephants, you've got the little, you know, carvings and stuff. Why stop there?

Why stop there? The same person, that message, no, the family bought it. They said, we love it. We live down the road from it. Yeah, I don't know if I'd hate it. It's pretty fun. I used to love driving past it. It'd be like, elephant.

Yeah. What's in that building now? Don't know. Seid. Sad? Yeah. Probably like an accountant firm. Yeah.

I reckon you could still smell it. I reckon you can still smell a green curry on a Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah. The ghosts of spring rolls. Oh, yeah. The ghost of money bags passed. Yeah.

Some old Thai grandma just going, ayah. Yeah, yeah, and too big. I am the neighbourhood. I saw my partner has two cars on the front lawn, followed by an old Turkish trailer. What is it a Turkish trailer? You think it's a Turkish food trailer?

And a car on the driveway on Jacks and a spa. He's living his best ADHD life. Oh, God. I lost... No. It's Rory. Rory sent in a joke. Oh, did it.

You say it now because it's adjacent to the elephant. I'll get it. It's to do with the elephant. I lost my job at the zoo circumcising elephants. The pay wasn't great, but the tips were huge. Jesus. Rora. He's got to be stops now.

Sometimes it's a hit in a mess. Some guy down the road from us bought all these mini golf sculptures when a mini golf place shut down. There's lion and a giraffe. And the founding fathers just sitting in the front yard. It's really weird. Oh, somebody said that creepy kid sculpture on that park of Dominion Road in Auckland. that. That's art. No, I love that.

It's very, uh, Squid Game. It's very... It's like that big doll from Squid Game. Greenlight. Yep. I really like that. I think it's cool. And then they had to corner it off for a bit, eh? Because people were climbing. Or was that the Raman bowl one? They had the pouring noodles out of it. Climbing the ramen. There's a carport in Kilburnian, Wellington made of pallets that's ready to fall over. We've got a little bit of an ongoing bet on how much

longer it's going to last than a Wellington wind. Out of pallets? I'm not parking on pellets. Jeez. I don't know parking under pellets. Even words. What's it got for a roof? Just caught 96, 96. I reckon they've got tin on that thing. A bit of tin on that. Yeah.

Yeah, free tin. Our neighbourhood Issa is an abandoned half-burned down garage where the crackheads hang out. Police caution tape on the front from the fire covered in rubbish despite them stealing binster and the neighbours. Okay. It's a whole thing in it's a whole thing. In Greytown there's an orange house.

Terracotta orange. When the street lights are on, it kind of glows, which is weird. Guys, the Thai restaurant is still there. They've just removed the elephant. Is it still called real elephant Thai? Someone said that the tie was delicious. Okay, well that's fantastic. Is it red elephant tie still?

Or a different Thai place. It might be different. There's a house in Todanga with giant neon frogs on the walls and a dog human sculpture on the balcony. Is it a odd? Like a human. Is it a dog's head on a human's body or a human's head on a dog's body? Do I.

In Swanson, West Auckland, there's a house with old doll's heads all across. the fence. Yeah, that's swanson, baby. You're not robbing that house, though, are you? Nah, I'm not going in. They'll literally put you on a picket. There's a house in Kaikorra on the main street covered in animal skulls.

Oh, looks like shit. Again, you're not robbing that house, are you? No, because those animals died somehow. The Z&P Podcast Network. This is a show real. Play ZDM's Flesh, Forne and Haley. Now, we're very excited because we're huge Mike Myers fans here. Now, a sidestep if we may.

Mike Myers is watching the Football World Cup with Trevor Noah. Okay, and some other comedians. Yeah. Trevor Noah said to him, because there's that Verizon ad where he brought back Dr. Evil, brought back Dr. Evil. Yeah. With like original often cast.

And what's her name? Yeah. Frauline. Fraud, whatever. Frowbrist. Yeah, I can't remember. He's in there somewhere. And Trevor Noah said to him,

are we getting an awesome power sequel? and it's been like dilly-dallied for ages, Mike Myers just said yes. Number four. We're getting our fourth awesome pounds. We're huge fans. I think millennials will just embrace. Regardless, that will be watched. I re-watched all of them recently and they're just, I mean, there's so problem about it.

Like, you just forgive everything. It's so funny. It's so funny. Anyway, so Mike Myers. So he's confirmed that. And he's doing this next Shrek. So Mike Myers is making pay day again. Yeah, we were like, why doesn't he do more?

Because he's on that Shrek money. Didn't Eddie Murr? Murphy make, there was one and it might have be Shrek 3. Eddie Murphy made $15 million without leaving his house. Sick. Because he was just like... They've got booths at home. Yeah, I'll do the voicing at home.

And I know I invented this character. I'll just do what I want and you make it work. Okay, so it's estimated that Mike Myers made $43 to $48 million in upfront salaries voicing Shrek for the main four films and then $3 million for the original film. Wow. Yeah. He'd be... It's amazing.

Why would you go to work? Like, you've nailed it. You've done Wayne's World. You've done Austin Powers. You've done Shrek. If you count none of his other work... We don't have a guru. We don't talk about it.

We don't talk about the guru. So I married an axe murder was a really good movie. Oh, yeah. That was back in the day. But you don't need to do anything more. However, so Shrek 5, the trailer's out and millennials are like, oh my God, it's not out until next year, by the way.

June 2027. What? Yeah, big way. Okay. It's 16 years since the last installment. Shrek Forever After, 2010. That was the last show. Because then they did like TV versions and shit.

They were all TV ones and stuff. So Mike Myers is back. Cameron Dears is back. Eddie Murphy is back. Great cast and everything. But people are excited, but then they're looking and being like, that ain't my Shrek. The animation's really different.

Stepped up. I saw a thing yesterday comparing the animation of Toy Story 1 to Toy Story 5. It was like a dog and how much the animations changed. Oh wow. Because Toy Story 1 is still amazing animation. It was. What year was Toy Story 1? 95? And Shrek, the first Shrek was 2001 and that animation at the time was pretty

like legendary. Well, Toy Story 5, I mean, is Hollywood out of ideas? Maybe. Listen, yeah, Shrek 5, Toy Story 5, Austin Powers 4. I don't poo a franchise. No neither. Reboats are always a bit like... You've just been watching the Spider-Man trailer?

Do the Spider-Man, the second trailer for Brand New Days Out, and it looks amazing. I'll hear all about it tonight. Producer Girlies, you saw Toy Story 5 last night in a special media preview. Because I was a bit like, you know, maybe I'm done. No, man. No, man. I have not recovered yet. You cried a lot.

So much. It is so funny and so well done. I couldn't believe how much I authentically laughed and enjoyed it. So this is like the sister who's now older is being alerted by iPads. It wasn't Andy's sister. Oh. He gave away his toys to a Bonnie in the neighbourhood. Oh, Bonnie got that.

Yeah. And so now Bonnie's a little bit older. I think she's like eight. And so... She's got an iPad or a leap pad, I think they call it. Lily pad, yeah. Lily pad. And all the other kids do.

And she doesn't. And then she's going to get one. And the toys aren't happy. Man. Did you enjoy it, Carwin? Yeah, I did. It was very funny. There were a lot of children around us.

Like, this wasn't just adults. Yuck! And they were all having fun. But, they weren't getting the jokes in the way that we were getting the jokes. Kids are idiots. Because I feel like, I know nothing. I even thought from the trailer

there was a lot in there for the people that were kids when the first toy stories came out, which is cool. Yeah. There's a lot of callbacks and it will still give you that same feeling of like, oh my gosh I wish I still have my childhood toys. Oh, I have had regrets about donating my glow in the dark care bear

ever since watching this movie. I'm just worried that she's sitting in the dark now and it's going to make me cry. Just the thought. I love these toys so much and they meant so much to me. Oh my gosh, she is, she's upset. It's so, go watch the movie.

And Taylor Swift deserves an Oscar. Oh, I can't. Can't dab on that. It's a great song. It's a cute song. It's growing on me, but I don't know if we're saying Oscar. It's definitely grown on me. It's a sweet song for a sweet film.

I think it's appropriate for the film. She pumped it out on a quiet Saturday afternoon, though. It's no shalalalaloo's. No, no. It's still wild to me that Lady Gaga won an Oscar for in the shalla-la-lal-lal-l-l-l-l-l-l-os. That's the loric. I'm sorry, I love Lady Gaga.

Credit where credits too, but in the shall-lal-lal-lal-lalos? Right. I just think reworked that lyrics. ToyS-3-5, it's out today? Yeah, out today. Go see it. Wow.

Just in time for school holidays. Someone said, did they give Shrek Botox? Yeah, because this is what people are saying. Someone said they've got his beautiful, fat removed and all that. Actually, really good point. Somebody said, I remember the world got behind bullying the studio that was making Sonic the hedgehog because it didn't look anything like something like the hedgehog and they changed it they caved maybe it's why we bullied them back into an ugly shriek.

Yeah make him ugly he's a shrek and a swarm. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh forne and Haley. So a little poll today is do you wear headphones while you're at work? I ticked yes always. Well we have to have them don't we? We're plugged into the sister. We take them off. Yeah you walk into the office out of the studios here at ZM and

Yeah, a lot of people in the office do. I think I would if I had a desk job. I wear headphones a lot in my daily life. Like I go, when I'm at the supermarket, I've got them in. Sometimes if I'm... Rude? Unapproachable. Yeah. That's exactly what it's saying.

It is weird, though, when you see someone that's in a customer serving role or something and they have them in. Yeah. Or one in and you're just like, okay, what are you doing? What are you listening to? Are you listening to a podcast or a song? Yeah, I'm sorry. They do that on your own time.

Where have you seen that? Like in retail shops? Yeah, for sure. Or like cafes, you see it, like people working in the... kitchens and stuff. You're like, is that dauntlets? And the kitchen's okay. But like, I can't imagine in retail that would be, that would fly?

That you'd be allowed. No. I don't know. Well, there are options where yes, always, sometimes or no. Sometimes at 43% is our leading result today. No, is at 37% and yes, always 20%. Right. 20% of people always wearing headphones at work.

Tash said, I'd love to, but it's frowned upon when you're teaching children to try to actively block them out. Oh, there's a dog at the window. Oh, it's a sausage dog. A dog. That's a sausage. And there's a golden retriever over there. Is that our golden retriever?

Is that our good boy? Sorry, we get really excited about dogs here. It was said the other day we're like at school when a dog would run across the field and everyone would just go to the window. Oh my God. It's a golden retriever. That's the same one as the other day, I think. Oh, it's Benny. Is it Benny?

Okay. Haley, we're on here. We're on here, Haley. We'll go out and have a pat at the dog's son. I think of your sausage dogs, asshole. Like, I hate to see that. That's how they say hello. It's so cute.

That's like you waving. You waving to them and saying hello is basically their version is sniffing the other dogs' fun. Show them to home in the German. Right. Introducing them to sort of a ceramic dog. Lovely. When I wear my big noise-canceling headphones while I try and get stuffed up, my colleagues laugh at me,

so now I wear a wireless headphone in one ear every so often said Danny. Someone laughed at Danny. You made her feel bad about other ears noise cancels. The ones that I've got have that thing, ambient surround or whatever. Yes, you can hear the world as well. Yeah, so people can talk to you and it's fine, yeah. I wear headphones because no one in my office talks to each other and I'd completely lose my mind and job if I didn't.

Oh, I'd hate that. Yeah. If I'm a need to get shit done mood, then I pop them in. Otherwise, it's against the rules. Oh, okay. Kate said, I use the noise cancelling to drown out my co-workers. I don't even listen to music. I listen to the sweet sounds of silence.

Oh, wow. I kind of like that sometimes. I'll have headphones in sometimes just for a bit of quiet. That's when the voices in the head are like, oh, but quiet, eh? What is there? What? Cute dog. There's a...

So many cute dogs. I listen to you guys using the IHeart radio app. Thank you for the KPI there. There, Betty. I don't work with people, just work with animals at the zoo, and also they love hearing what you guys are talking about. Oh my God. Oh my God, I love that.

I love that some animals listen to the podcast. Yeah. That would be a bit awkward as I'm a physio. Yeah, would be. Imagine you're like, oh, and they're like, sorry. Sorry, well. I was just listening to a podcast on how to be there physio. Yeah, yeah.

I'm a butcher and it's against food safety. Also, I don't want them to fall into the mincer. I wish I could, so I don't have to listen to boring UFC chat from the other butchers. If you're a butcher, at what stage do you reckon you'd be like, we're going to have to recall or redo the mints if you drop something in the minser? Like a headphone, yeah, you're going to be doing a recall with that? I just kind of take a scoop of mints out that I think had most of the headphone in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, same.

It's like when bartenders smash a glass and they've got to ditch all that ice, I'm like, you know what I mean? What do you mean? You know, often they've got like a tub of ice? Yeah. If there's a broken glass, that whole tub has to be gone. Why?

Because if a tiny bit fell into it and they're scooping it into your drinks. Oh, no way. I know. I didn't know that. It's happened a couple of times and you're like, bugger it. It's very interesting. Just take the top bits of ice out. Nah, just glasses.

Yeah, you don't want that going into you. It does. Famously. Having drunk glass before, a cocktail. You do feel it though. It doesn't taste nice. Jack says I work in radio as well, so it's headphones for me. Oh, fantastic. Tams in. How does Jack work for? I don't know. I'll do some more

investigation on that sign. It would not be the cusp. Well, it's nice if it is that he's listening. Yeah. Yes, if the people around me are pissing me off enough, I'll chuck on some headphones. So for a little poll today, we asked you wear headphones while at work, and 43% of you said sometimes. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM Flesh for him and Haley. So,

um, last night I had a, I very much enjoy the relationship I have with my daughters. We're very honest. Love it. We're, the rule is we can talk about anything. The old,

what is it? We listen and we don't judge vibe. We just, we talk and we're honest and I've been honest with them about my re-entry into dating. Mm-hmm. What, wait, is you married to her?

It is, yeah. Somebody actually messaged me. Wait. Very confused. I was like, oh, you're not seen, yeah. So I've been very honest with them about my situation and sort of fostered this relationship where they're honest with me.

So do you think that one day, like in a couple of years, they'll be like, hey, dad, just letting you know I'm sneaking out. And I'll be like, yeah. It's not really sneaking out if you, tell me, but thanks. Love you. Leave your phone on. Are you being a little bit naive here? Maybe.

What's the old saying? You've got trust until it's broken. Yeah. Like I trust them. They've never given me a reason not to trust them. So until they do, I guess I trust them. Yeah, beautiful. You've got to give them the trust.

It is very nice. So I had explained to me the stages of dating yesterday. Right, from Gen Alphas. From Jen Alphas. Not like the bases. No, no, no, no, no. We're not there yet. And there's some things we don't probably need to discuss.

No. All want to hear. No. So it starts out like you can be friends. Right. Then I thought it just went friends to dating. There's a step in between called talking. Now I said, so what's talking?

Are you talking to multiple people? No, but it is also there's an exclusivity to talking. Yeah, right. You can't be talking. See, Shannon's nodding. Shannon seems to get this. So I thought if you were talking,

you'd be talking to multiple people. No. We're just talking. But you're talking. I would describe it as, I know she's not, but if you were on the dating apps, it's kind of that level

where you're expressing interest, but there's no form of, Like this is serious or, yeah, like maybe a flirt, but you're not dating. But you're not talking to other people. Yeah, yeah. You are talking to other people, but you're not talking. Yes, but there's an expressed interest in a human, but you're not dating. It's started, Haley.

It's started. It's started. So it's talking and there's talking and then there's dating. Now, I believe when it goes from talking to dating is when you go on a date to some sort of event. And come home with a hickey. So that's dating? That's dating. What's being together now?

Because I can't remember what we used to call it. Going around. Not going around. So that's going round. We had going around back in the 90s. Going steady was one. How is what's different? Going around was exclusively dating.

Going around was a casual, you were just going around with that person. But no, there wasn't any expectations. Right. Okay. So I said weird is going around for it. They just laughed at me. Because that doesn't exist anymore. Because it doesn't exist.

And then when this is all going, I get a message from my girlfriend and I say to, I say, so where am I at with this? And they said, oh, you're past talking. So you're going around. You're dating. Oh, you're dating. And I said, am I seeing? And they said, seeing is dating.

Yeah. What's the next step? That's something that I've not. Because I guess that's a fianced. Oh, God. You go from dating to fiance. What about like locked in or going steady? But there's a so there's a seeing.

So if you're seeing, no, if you're talking, oh, it's started. It's hard, man, it's hard. Okay, so Haley, how long until, just from your experience, is a 14? Somebody messaged saying you forgot the walking and the talking. Are we going walking talking? Is talking what we used to call wooing that happened before courting? When you're courting. I think we've got a Gen X who's weighing.

Who's weighing in on how they used to do things. I don't think they've been caught it anymore. No. Oh God. I mean, what about hooking up? You know, I know that's later for them. But where does that all fit in for us? Yeah.

And that age gap. And that age gap. But also, somebody said it was called sussing. We've just got 9-6-9-6. Where does sussing fit into it? Is that where you were sussing someone out? Yeah, right. So maybe that was just before talking.

And then you were talking. Yeah. And then you're dating. Yeah. Someone said, I would have thought that seeing is between talking and dating. So seeing is a dating light, but a talking plus. It's too much. What is it that Fletch is doing?

Don't bring me into this. What is Fletch doing is not anything my daughters will ever do. There's what's their word for that? Good housing. Horen, I think. Horan. The Z&M Podcast Network. Now, we're on the search for the hottest region. We asked on Instagram.

you, New Zealand, to say what is the hottest region of New Zealand? Shannon, I will say, here does statistics at Howard College, year 2000, 20... Top of class. 16. That can't be right. Head of statistics. So out of all of your

year, you were the best at statistics. Yes. Small pool, you know, I think there was three classes by that point, because it was an elective class. Statistics wasn't like... I bet some bloody... I bet some kids in that class got it in the air when they got home from their Tiger Mom that they got defeated by the blonde white.

Oh, no, no, no. So basically how it worked was you could either do statistics or calculus and all the smart people did calculus and all the fun people did statistics because you could do pie graphs and stuff. Yeah, she loves to draw. Well, she's done me a pygraph here. I've done a pie graph for you.

I mostly went to McDonald's because they did free refills during Mass at New Plymouth Boys High School. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just during maths. I dropped maths as soon as I could. Mass sucks. That's why I say maths. I do girls maths, though.

I've got a calculator on my phone now. They were so wrong about not having a calculator. They were. So we asked on Instagram and Shannon's compiled us a pie graph, which is lovely, and here's the numbers. Christchurch came in at number one. Okay. And our almost double, Southland actually got 13. Christchurch got 24, so nearly double.

Southland in second place. Auckland and third. The Bay of Plenty and fourth. Queenstown and fifth. Yeah, because of all the over- The hot tourist, the seasonal workers, whether it's the ski fields or the orchards. They're all from like France or Spain or Brazil or whatever.

Then at sixth we've got the Waikato and Hawks Bay just behind that. Nelson, Northland, Wellington Gisman and then dead last with one vote. Taranaki. Oh boy, don't look at me when you say that. There's actually some... Lots of surf is there. Hot people in New Plymouth. Yeah, there's...

Gosh. Oh, hold on. There's someone, isn't there? Hang on, hang on, hang on. Just trying to think of people from the... Well, we're going down next weekend. So that'll be hotter. So then it'll get hot.

Well, no, I'm just going to say we could see if there are any. You mean, poor ego's going to be there. Yep. Yeah, Tom Sainsbury will up the hotness. Yeah. You're already getting some messages on 9-6, 9-6, the hottest regions. Can we just don't set that list? I think we just go males because that's what we asked there,

and it's going to get confusing because there are some areas where the male to female ratio is well and away. Yeah. Should we just go dissect those stats first? Do you think that just our listeners love a southern man? Well, it certainly looks like a blokey blockland. Yeah.

That aligns with like the Kiwi way, right? A man with a hole in a huge percentage of him. Dead deer over his shoulder and coming home and kick on his boots at the door. Shorty rugby shorts and some RMs. Yep. Some RMs and some chinos when they go out. Yeah, if you put together,

Queensland and Christchurch, that's over 50%. Why are you saying? Southland. No one says Southland. Northland. Southland. Southland. Southland. It's New Zealand. New Zealand. New Zealand. So you put those South Island ones to get a well over half. But then just purely on population

alone, you're more likely to find hotter people in Auckland because of the population size. And we're a melting pot because you're flying here international and you just end up staying. Okay, well, we would like you to add to this. 9-696. Can steam you in here. We want to know. We want to know, what is New Zealand's hottest region for men? Where are the sexiest men in New Zealand?

Yeah. We had an official one from the world and we just thought, well, we'll just do our own. Yeah, we weren't on the list, so we thought we'd go regional. Some messages in Waikato men, that manliness full of rugby boys and farmers. Yeah. I think that's why the South Island won, really. Yeah. Why the South Island regions are doing so well.

Yeah. Someone said Canterbury, Southland boys, the country rugged, it's top tier. up the south. Christ Church says Laura. Okay. It has to be. Someone said I live in Southland and I'm sorry. You just groom in their egos.

There's so many mullets. Oh, yeah, no, that's... And the really attractive ones are the ones that relocated from other parts of the country, if we're being honest. Really? Right. Oh, yeah.

There are a certain look. Thick fire, short shorts, mullet. One of those filthy moustaches. You see them. their moustaches, rugby tea. Often got a good tank on them. Yes, I love it.

Big arms. A thick thigh in a stubby shore. I think you'd thrive in the South Island Haley, to be honest. I know, but I'm going to be like, so cold. How? Maybe bias as a Wikaru expert, but I'm going to claim the home region. Their tradies are top tier. Auckland tradies are pale by comparison.

Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Rotorua has to be those Tiara men. They're just, ooh-we. Gisman, those East Coast brown boys get me every time. That's from 115. So another person said

I can confirm this is incorrect data. Dated several Southern boys back in the day and they're all little bogan rats. Bogan rats? Little bogan rats. No Christchurch for me. Too much meth, not enough teeth. Southland does not have hot men.

I've been here for 20 years. A few messages about It's got to be Auckland because they love the brown boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Marlo, no one does. No one's got the... Yeah, the shades of brown like Auckland. No, no, no, no.

We've got shades of everything. Somebody said, the Waikato, Tiamu, specifically. I don't know if we can go that specific, can we? I don't know if someone says, Christchurch slaps. Christchurch is way, way hotter than anywhere else. The toothless honeies of Kikui. Honeys. Poteball, because lots of athletes.

split space themselves there because of like... Oh, do they? The Iron Man... Oh, the gays have spoken. Get on Grindr in Southland and that ain't pretty. Oh, yeah. Just lots of blank profiles and not out farmers. Yeah, yeah.

Who have wives. Yeah. Marlborough has very nice men. They know how to dress. Oh, okay. And have no problem hunting for the family if they need to. Oh, that makes sense. Nice way. See, you should be claiming this because you were born in Rangiora.

Well, oh. I technically was born in the goon. Yeah. But I, you know, my consciousness was born in Wellington. So no one's saying Wellington. No, someone said definitely not Wellington. I very rarely walk down the street and catch the eye of a honey. Yeah.

Okay. None in the wider upper. In fact, if you get a vote, it'll be someone's mum trying to make their minging son feel better about himself. They're all fuggers. That's ruthless. 100% not Palmer's the North. The men in this place suck.

Oh, gay from South and here and yeah. imports, yes, locals know. Grind are terrible. Yeah. Terrible down there. No one said BOP. The surfer boys are yum. We were talking about this off year.

Yeah, we were. The boys pull up their van at the mount. You know newsread of Brins from the Bop? Yeah, he's gorgeous. Yes, she is. Yes. Surfer boys pulling up their van, getting in, zipping up the back of the wetsuit. Not a single one, my dude.

She's pretty quiet for that part of the West Coast. I mean, none from Moronsville, so you shut up. White Carto has had a few votes. Yeah, but not specifically Morrins. No, but, you know, more than the entire region of Taranaki. Mingersville. Yuck! Yuck!

Someone said Howard has got some baddies? I'd say literally, I'd say literally. By definition of the law, they're the baddies. Well, that's Taranaki, so there you go. There's a couple. Yeah. Got a few more tech's anti-grinder in Southland. I really apologize for our southern gates.

It's not better out there. Okay, well, if we had to do a top three or four or five, what would you say? Christchurch. South Island's heavily represented. I'd say Southland wore it in the texts. Okay, so maybe. People voted online for Southland, but it hasn't come through on the text machine like Canterbury has today. Okay, so you'd go Canterbury number one for Hotties.

I'd go south of number three, maybe just like Rotorua, like farmy kind of. Yeah, your regional hotspotspots. A lot for Hamilton. Maybe you'd go Hamilton three or four. Yeah, a few Hamilton. But why is Auckland in the top five? No, nobody's mentioning one, England, but.

Look what was just outside our window before? Jesus, listener. There's a new, if you've just joined us, there's a new coffee place, and it's run by some young lovely people. They're awesome, and they'd be bringing the hotties. And today they're doing a launch

and they brought all the Les Mills. We're working out Les Mills at the wrong time. Obviously. We've got to go in the middle of the show. to capture the hot hour. Oh, you're saying we're missing the peak hours. We're missing hot hour. You're missing the peak hours in the gym.

The hoties be working out at 7am. I prefer when there's no hot people working out of the gym. So that you're the hottest. Or at least stand a chance, you know. By default. Born Smith, by default. Yeah. The Z&M Podcast Network.

Not Russia as you know today. They loved a experiment, didn't they? They loved an experiment. A lot of it sort of still... What a place. And sealed... Sealed envelopes. what sort of things they were trying to do during, you know,

during the big communist post-World War II era of the Soviet Union. But today, it's about an experiment where they tried to turn the deserts of Central Asia into a cotton empire. Because when you've got a population that they were literally giving medals to women who had 10 or more babies. Right. I really enjoyed learning about the Soviet Union and history at school because it was pretty wild. They were like, if you have 10 babies, we're going to give you a medal.

You're going to be like the mother of... the mother of the nation or something and it's a pristine Todd because we want this population to boom baby, we need workers. Yeah. So they wanted to make their own cotton so they didn't have to rely on anybody else. So they drained a large sea. They diverted two rivers that fed the Aral Sea to propagate and irrigate this land so they could grow.

Now, the problem was, the problem was. And the sea that was then drained, the Aral Sea wasn't getting fed by these two rivers. So the water obviously dried up, tried up and started running it. The problem was, in the middle of that was an island called Vos Rindjana.

That was very good Russian. I actually don't know if I did that. I just put on my Russian accent and did it. Vodrosan Dengenegener. Rebirth Island. Now, in the later, just after World War II, they had been doing open-air biological weapon testing there and nuclear testing

and a whole lot of stuff. They had also worked how to aerolize and detonate things like smallpox, anthrax, the plague, tamaria, something called Bruce celiosis, Cue fever, typhus, the botulin toxin that later became Botox. And Venezuelan equine xenphalitis.

I don't want any of those. Well, they're just testing all of this on this island. On this island. And when it got too much of them, they just kind of flooded it and were just like, Whoopsies. See you later. Now the problem was when the sea drained the island's back

and all of a sudden everybody can just walk out to it. Oh dear. That's not a great thing, is it? So people would go out and they found out that people were ferreting around having a look. I'd go for a look at an abandoned structure that all of a sudden I could walk to because otherwise it's hard to get too part of the sea. So they found 200 tons of anthrax. as slurry because it had mixed with stuff

and it had leaked out of the building and there was 200,000 tons of anthrax slurry as it was called that people played with but then lots of people died but of course it was Russia so it was all off the record and they said don't go there but kind of just put up some pretty piss-wark fencing to be honest so people were just going out there for a lot

because when you'd tell people not to go somewhere what do they do? I want to go there so yeah people were getting all sorts of all sorts of illness and stuff from these biological weapons. So somebody played with

400 grams of weaponised smallpox. She fell ill despite being vaccinated against smallpox. So this was an enhanced smallpox. She went back and infected nine others. Oh dear, a whole lot of people died. Died of hemorrhages and smallpox. So a whole lot of things happened

with these diseases that just walked off this island, basically. Oh, that feels like a mess. It's a real mess. It feels like a movie, bad movie. Yeah, bad movie. And it carried on for ages in May 1988. 50,000 antelope grazing on an nearby paddock just reportedly dropped dead within an hour after the wind changed.

So the cleanup began in 2002, the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency went in and had dudes all suited up and they started the cleanup and it cost them. The budget absolutely blew out. It's still there. Wow. It's still there, but it's been. cleaned up but it's still like now it's got a proper fence up so people just for the rug over it yeah the rug over it yeah yeah arborian concrete the chenoble way yeah

so today's fact of the day in an effort to grow a whole lot of cotton russia drained a sea that contained a whole lot of biological weapons but didn't stop people just wandering out there and having a fiddle with them fact of the day day day day day do do do do do do do do Dib to Dip to Dip to do do do do do do do do do do do do. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Forne and Haley. I don't need no man. I don't need no man to do nothing.

I've been doing all the things around my house and yesterday, well, the day before yesterday I got it into my head that I'm going to make a bold move. Oh, okay. So I have this room in my house. My house is like fully renovated, but this room has never found its way. It's the lounge.

It's the TV room. Okay. It's never found its personality. It's a bit plain for me. And I got into my head that around my TV, I was going to put up all this floating shelving and have all my, like, antiques around it to add a bit more, like, me to the room.

Yeah. And I was looking at, you know, some sort of rustic, you know, repurposed timber shelving, and, like, I just can't afford it. It was pricey. And then I was like, it'll also be really heavy. And I found some cheap floating, you know, like veneer shelving at Bunnings. And I was like, I'll go to Bunnings.

Go to Bunnings. I get all my stuff. I get a stud finder. Get these shelves in. They're floating shelves. You know, go the bracket, you screw, and you slide the shelves on. I was like, I'm just going to do it. Map it out using AI.

I think I showed you guys. Yeah. Cool little vision of it. And then yesterday, the skip gets picked up tomorrow. I've got to clear out this stuff. And I was like, not in the mood. I'm going to do the shelves. I was like, how hard can it be?

I don't need no man. Oh, here we go. So I go up and I start using my stud, find the centre of the TV. That's going to be the centre of the wall. You know, I'm out there, got the pencil, got the leveller. You didn't do a famous Vaughan Smith and find the half stud. No, I didn't find the half stud. I was finding the half stud.

It's where it's against the other half of the interior wall. You shrill a hole in and you're like, well, there's nothing there. Maybe I mean I don't know what I found But anyway I'm drawing lines everywhere I'm mapping this I'm gonna do it properly I've got a leveller

Got my zzz my drill Everything And It just went from bad to worse So I'd made a map To do this I'm by myself by the way And I refuse to take help

I will not do this I mean Vorn was just up the road Yeah and Vaughn also had my ladder That he didn't bring over So I'm on a step ladder I'm on the back of the youth today Okay, so it's wait, it's vaughn, so I feel like that she's trying to make it. No, no, no, no, no.

I don't need no man. Okay. If my man friend doesn't bring over my ladder, I don't need him. I'll use the step ladder and I'll stand on the top thing unaccompanied and I'll teeter. So I'm up there and then, so I draw these lines and I think that's where the central shelf's going to go. And I get to the shelf and I pull out the bracket thing and I mark it and not a single one of them lines up with a stud. Right? So it's just not going to work that way.

So I start making this other plan. And I was like, well, instead of having one, I'll do two split there, map that out. Why don't you just use the anchor things for plaster walls? They're fine. Yeah, so bingo, right? No, how heavy are their shell is going to be? Don't talk to me about anchor things in plastic. Dude.

You can get some good ones. So listen, I find one stud that I can make work. One stud on one shelf. So I put, I'm like, that's where screw number one's going to go. Yeah, the biggest screw. The biggest screw. The rest of the holes, does not align with Unstud. So I was like,

gyp screws here we go pilot hole through the jib pull out the pilot hole it's pulling out the acoustic bats and I was like oh my god I'm pulling it so now I'm poking back in the put them back in the bats and then I get the jib screws

and I was like here we go you know you got to put one of them you got to bang in but one of them is just like a twist in so I get into the twisty one oh I wouldn't do a twisty one no they're the best for grab the big fat ones with the flat head and you push them in and then you screw it and they grow it yeah

as I'm screwing it I cannot tell you the mess it made. It's not only tearing away the paint, it's taking away hunks of jib. I go on AI, I'm like, what the far, bro? What the hell, man? I said, this has effed my wall. And it was like, show me.

I take a photo. It was like, I don't know that I'd say that the wall's ruined, Ouse. But like, come on. I, it was a shambles. I worked on this thing for four hours. I got one shelf. See, that's,

I reckon the minute you go past the half an hour mark on a job, you're only making things worse. Yeah, and this is a thing. So I filmed it all, by the way. I'm going to chuck it up on my Mill Cottage Redo page. Yeah. But I was filming it all. And you see the moment where I was like, I'm going to make a fun reel.

Yeah. I haven't made a reel for the house for a while. Like, hey guys. Hey guys, just like, I don't need a man. I'm going to put these shelves up. And at the end, there's just a moment where I'm like, I'm like genuinely not having fun anymore. I cried a little bit.

I felt like a failure. I hated it. I felt like a bad feminist. I felt like I did need a man. It was awful. And the wall is botched. Oh, do we need to do some patch up? This is shelf one of nine.

And it is botched. Oh. And I'm going to tell you, the shelves are too deep, and they're not good. And it's going to look like that shit. But I've opened them all, so I can't return them. Oh, no. So they're going on the GD wall. Any way to make the wall?

and not as deep. Yeah, I could cut them, but it would peel off the veneer because I didn't go for timber like I originally wanted... Wow, you didn't go for... Haley-dain. Sproutes.

You didn't go for solid timber. Wow. I'm on a veneer budget with solid wood taste. Yeah. This is my most botched project yet. Anyway, I think it's gonna be a three-part reel on my socials.

You can come watch me up so you fall apart. Start with the attitude of, like, I'm gonna transform this space. I don't need no man to... Can a man come and fix this problem? Play ZM's Flash for an haley. Okay, if I include Trade Me, I currently have five tabs open

looking at things that I would spend money on. That you don't have. They don't need, don't have, that would be nice, you know, sales, that kind of stuff. And I know I'm a person who is a dopamine addict and I need a little hits. And I always feel like my dopamine's low.

There is a solution. And this comes from South. Korea. I want to bring in the girlies here because I know that you saw this too. Producer Carwin, Shandauk. Woof. Well, good, she's here. Good girl. Thank you.

Dopamine sites. So this is from South Korea. They're fake online stores that replicate the full shopping experience, product listenings, reviews, ratings, filters, promotions and no transaction takes place. I love this because sometimes you have a long day at work or you have a busy week or you've done something that you're quite prepared. something that you're quite proud of. I'm always like, oh, well, I'll say to Shannon, we deserve a tree. We deserve a little tree, we deserve a tree. And so you go shop

online and then you spend some money, you maybe didn't need to, or it was an impulse, you just saw a Kmart ad and now I've bought it. So this is, because this, this is different to a thing that I know that we do, which is like, go on a website, add to car, add to car, add to car, leave the website. Don't, we don't do it. And then you get the email from them, hey, hey, have you got it. You still want it? You still want it?

So you browse, you add items to your cart, but then you take the next step, which is where people say you get that little dopamine from. Enter a delivery address. Don't do that again. You enter your delivery address and you click order. A simulated courier then appears to head towards your location.

No one. In real time, on a map, nothing's delivered, no money is charged. I think it would be fun as well if you could find the best deal. Like if you said there's room here. So they do sales. Yeah. So like there's such satisfaction

in knowing you've saved money. If I was saving fake money, I feel like this would really tickle something in me. Oh my God. So they were saying the psychology behind it, impulse shopping, often driven by boredom, stress or fatigue rather than genuinely wanting a product. Right. So we just want to

browse and we want that little thrill of being like oh, I like that, oh, that's cheaper, that's 50% off, add that to the car. But then it's the next step of being like, buy now. Hell yeah. Curia, here's my dream. Come for me. Yeah, and then so that's enough. And then you track this little thing and you're like, it's here, let's not. It doesn't turn up.

Do you think you still get the same hit? But I think all, you'll have a little bit of a, oh, barmite, that's, but all the little dopamine why you're in the website, that's just like filling your dopamine carb. And the little whimsy of actually doing this. Like I always find it fun when I do something a bit silly. I think I'd be like, he-he, silly Shannon, fake career on the way. It's like a game of sorts. It is like gaming.

Yeah. There's some skepticism because people are like, this is not fixed underlying shopping addiction. I don't have a shopping addiction. Really? It's cusp. No one admits they have an addiction, do they? What is the freaking intervention here?

Well, if you want the dopamine hit, maybe it'll help with your shopping addiction. Just Google South Korean dopamine sites. There's a few of them.

I love this Like you know If you find something You have a conundrum Don't you? Do you keep it? Do you keep it? Or do you hand it into the police station Or do you post about it on your Facebook group

It depends, is it cute? Well is it an envelope of $10,000 cash? You're not getting that back. if I find it. I'll tell you what, I'm not even saying a word, just shut your mouth. I mean,

that's happened before. Always in Queensland, it's always a tourist. Yeah, and there's always that question of like the cops being like, you've got to hand it in and it's like,

you didn't find it. I'm out here doing my own work. Do you not adhere to the ancient law of finders, keepers, losers, be weepers. I mean, obviously you look around and see what cameras there are.

Yeah. Okay, so there's been a rather celebrity case of this exact thing happening. Aging Rocker Alice Cooper, who is about to embark on a Poison. On a five-week tour of the world. I've seen Alice Cooper live and I'll say it was a laugh

but bloody good entertainment. 78-year-old Alice Cooper with a net worth of over 50 million US dollars. Yeah, so someone went to use a, I think they're at a gas station and they went to put their card in the machine to pay and there was already a card in there. And so they took it out and it said Alice Cooper.

It is so funny, the idea of Alice Cooper. If you don't know Alice Cooper, like little old goth rocker pumping his own gas. Like that's so funny to me. I'm not paying pay away for you. So this year, this happened at a gas station in Arizona. There was a guy, a camper who had a big camper van, Jeff. And he found it.

He's like, the Alice Cooper? Surely not. Like imagine if you just pulled out a credit card. I said, Lady Gaga. Katie Perry. I wouldn't say, Stephanie, whatever. Gerser Man, man, man. I just searched Alice Cooper on Facebook.

There's lots of Alice Coopers. They're all girls whose name's Alice and their last name is Cooper. Yeah. So apparently he'd been golfing nearby Alice Cooper and had popped into the service station. But it ended up being like a big local news story. It was on the news and there's a picture of them reuniting in the gas station. That is so funny. To give his credit card back.

So he didn't have to cancel it and go through the rig morale of, yeah. So someone messaged in. This is amazing. I was a snowboard instructor in the US, left my wallet in a cab on a night out, went through that hassle of replacing all the cards, total mission while overseas, came home, completely forgot about it.

Eight years later, got a paper air mail envelope from the sheriff's office with my mouldy wallet in it. All cards still in it. Somehow they tracked down my address. Oh, so it had fallen out into the snow and then... Eight years. Sorry, but eight years.

lady, you just chuck it in the bin, right? All those kinds are expired. You'd know that's a, yeah, hell of a story, though. That's incredible. They didn't have to do that, did they? No. Well, these are the kind of stories we want to hear. 0,800 dials at em, you can text through as well.

9-6-96. Did you get reunited with some lost stuff thanks to a stranger? Michelle, what happened? Oh, hey. Me and my family in February were involved in a capsize. Oh, shit. My handbag was. found a few days later washed up on the beach.

Oh, wow. What? So it like floated in on the tide on the waves? Yeah, yeah. Wow. And was there anything in there? Was there any cash? No cash, but I had like all my medication, my wallet, everything.

But everything was still in it and intact. Wait, it's a little wet. And they found it and then what they went through it and kind of found some details and found you. Yeah, so they looked at my driver's license and stuff and then posted on the Fangere Facebook page. Wow. To see who it was.

Oh, that's nice. Wow. So, yeah. Wow, good on you. Yeah, all because it's a lot to feel good story. Yeah, that's nice. Michelle, thank you. Trina.

Hello. Well, you were reunited with your wallet that you left on the roof. Well, I didn't leave it off. If I didn't actually know it was missing. Wait, what happened? I was just at work in my office, and I got an email saying, a you trainer, and I said, Jess, and they actually found a wallet on the roof of the building in Queen Street in Melbourne, and I hadn't lived there for 20 years.

What? What? I thought you meant on the roof of your car. Oh, no, on the roof of the building that I used to work in in Melbourne. 20 years ago. Yeah, 25 years ago. They don't clean their roof or often, do they? No.

And do you even remember losing it? No, but we used to have some real good times when I lived there. No recollection whatsoever, but it still had the old paper licenses and a photo of my niece. Oh, wow. That's incredible. And so they got it back to you? Yeah, they sent it back to me, and yet it was my wallet, and I'm going to say, oh my God. That's a very good.

Amazing. Yeah, because I guess they could have just chucked that in the bin as well. It's been 20 years. Yeah, for sure. A lot to old. So nice. Trina, thank you. Some messages.

Oh, you reunited a dog with its owner. The dog was going for a swim in the Wymack. Oh, yeah. On the old WAMAC. Is the YMAC up? It probably will be, actually. Yeah, okay. But a rain down, sir.

Yeah, 9-6-6. It's the Wymack. Actually, we could get a hot 9-6-9-6 on the state of the WIMAC. They'd be great. Up or down. The Wai-Makarririri River, the dog got swept away. Oh, Bubba! Yeah, and then

my mate was out possum trapping and saw this dog and was like, what the hell. We found out the dog's owner took an extra data relocated after my mate came over to tell because he saw it and then they went back to find it. It was a pretty cool, right? Yeah, pretty cool emotional moment when we got in contact with the owners and they

found out there'd been a whole big search party on Facebook. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. I lost my car keys and they were returned to us a year later. I couldn't drive my car had to get new keys that cost $800. You've got to put an air tag or a tile on those things. The amount of times that saved me.

The keys were found in our other vehicle when we sold it and it went to be detailed. Like it dropped, you know? Oh, God. Not even somewhere interesting, literally in your own driveway. Yeah. We're on a way to Coala Lumpur airport.

Once I got there, I realized I'd left my phone in the Uber, so I kept calling it and calling it and calling it until the Uber driver eventually answered the call. to come back to the airport to bring me back my phone. And we managed to get the phone back before boarding the flight to Thailand. Oh, that would have been so stressful. Wow. So stressful.

They're starting a new, we talked about this last week, didn't we? They're starting a new feature Uber. They've rolled it out in some American cities. You just instantly ask the driver to come back. To come back. Rather than doing that rigmarole of phoning. God, I know. I didn't even know I'd lost a pendant with my daughter's names on it.

They got handed into a police station where someone knew my husband. and was just like, I know the names, that's more than a coincidence, got in touch and reunited it with us because otherwise it just would have been like a pendant with two kids' names on it. Yeah. Lots of them. Good detective work.

Yeah. Good honest people in the text machine here. Yeah, well, you get a warm, fancy feeling, don't you doing this? Somebody said there was a story about this. A guy was fishing in the Hodachie Golf, lost his wallet overboard a year later another guy hooked it and pulled it, opened the wallet, found out the wallet, was actually one of his mates and returned it. Oh, amazing.

What are the chance? Did you talk about the gardener? Did you read that one out? The gardener who found a huge amount of cash buried in a park. Yeah. What? Took it to the place and after 12 months it wasn't claimed so he came back for it because he was a council gardener.

It was found on council grounds. The council took the lot. It was around 12 grand. No. Should have kept it, mate. I would have kept it. I would have kept it. I would have kept it.

Shut your mouth. I'm one of the scientists and environment, Canterbury. Give me 10 minutes. I'll tell you the state of the YMA. Cheers. Yeah. So we'll know soon. It's going to take 10 minutes to find out about the wine map.

Do you know, the problem with keeping money that much is that if you were seen... I'm going to pad for 10 minutes. If you were seen... I'm down for a filibuster. That's kind of money. That's probably drug money if it's buried in a council park. And now you're involved in drugs and gangs. I've never dealt drugs or...

I'd like to say... Drugs? Neither. But would you do... Do that be like you bury the drugs here and I'll bury the cash here. I'll dig up the cash. I'll dig up the drugs. Is that how that would have worked?

Or do you think someone just wanted to hide their drug money? Where do you hide your cash? Where do you hide your cash? Save your time. Canterbury scientist, Dalziel's just driven over the Wimeck. Up. Thought so. You knew to be up.

Play ZM's Fletch, Forne and Haley. Now we've heard about quiet quitting. That's when within the role that you have, you sort of slowly pull back on doing things. actually invented this. He's texting right now. I'm kind of half checked out now. He's sort of done.

We're in the nine o'clock hour. Some other stuff. Yeah. That's fine, Horn, we got you. Here's a new term that a lot of Gen Z's are dying, but I get it. I get it, and I'm seeing this more and more of my friends.

Job dropping. So job dropping is it's a professional intentionally stepping into a lower position, a lower pressure role, taking on less responsibility, Yes, less money as well. Yep.

Or declining a promotion or an opportunity to take a bigger role, not out of laziness, but so that you can have like a sick life, basically. You don't have the stress of management. 100%. So it's strategy going. 100%. I know someone recently that took a pay rise and like stepped it up and they thought they were what was what they wanted.

And they're just like, this is not what I wanted. I don't want to have to have an underling. I liked being the underling. Yeah. I got to. Yeah. And you go home, you know,

there's no stress. I know this has happened as well to friends. Yeah, it's to protect time, mental health and like your life outside of work.

So mo, responsibility, mo stress, basically. Yeah, I have a friend that was like, could have been, I think,

second in the organisation. Yeah. And was just like, no. No, thank you. No. I've got a really senior role

as it is. I get well paid. Sure I can get way more money, but I don't want that. I don't want that stress. It's got that work like that. No. We've got to be addressing that work-life balance.

But then, I mean, it's cost of living. If you can get a pay rise of 10 or 20 grand... That's huge. Like, yes. They were also saying that one of the drivers behind it, career paths are no longer linear. And that makes so much sense. For us, it was like this real clear,

you need, bottom, bottom job, little thing. Climb the ladder, climb the ladder, climb the ladder, work your way up as high as you possibly can. And then eventually, you're a boss of some kind. And they give you a bottle of wine and a watch for your service. Yeah. And then shit can you? when they do a restructure.

Totally. Whereas now it's a lot more like, success is redefined and success to them may look more like flexibility and more time and like purpose and autonomy over their day and that kind of stuff.

And when you see it written down, I get it, man. Another tip of the hat to that generation. Yeah, they're nailing it. They're buying into this capitalist corporate bullshit. Like I definitely have bigger aspirations career-wise than now, but like,

That's stressful. I mean, this generation I admire them. Never own a home. But you admire them. But I admire them. God, I'd be happy. Renters for life.

Die with nothing. God, I admire them. Die with nothing, but good memories. Good memories, yeah, exactly. Good memories of freedom. You lived a full life. The ZDM Podcast Network. I, as per, head to toe and black.

Goth. Okay. Because I'm a goth batty. Not Hispanic, not Brazilian. Not brown very much at all. I haven't seen you on my explore page. Nah. Just a white,

which is goth. Goth batty. Goths are having a moment. Dude, oh, but I've said this before, but I was down in Wellington not too long ago. A couple of times recently.

Goths are back. It just reminded you of your teenage years. And not just like goths, like we wear black, but like proper goths with the piercings and the makeup and everything. I'm so happy to see it.

Welcome up. Do they don't have the music, though? Yeah, the Marilyn Manson and all that. You know, like, what are they listening to? I don't know. Probably Taylor Swift. Right. Swifties are gothys. Right, they're different kind of goths.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the modern age. Well, this could be good news for you goths. Because as we age, it's hard to shake it off. You still want to wear your black on black and black on black clothing. This is great news. If you are a goth and you wear black on black clothing, it means you are seen as more confident, more intelligent, more attractive and more reliable.

I quite often wear black, don't I? Yeah, you do. And that sums me out, doesn't it? I mean, that's because we as a trio, we're weight fluctuates. It's slimming. It's safe. It is slimming and safe. Whenever I'm feeling rough, it's always a black on black on black outfit.

It makes you feel kind of sleek and cool. 100%. Do you know there's multiple studies around this? Do you know even dressing black on black? Oh no, that's a bad one. I'll get to that last night. So multiple studies, there was one from 2015, one from 2025, one from 2025, one from 26.

Multiple studies that looked into this, strongly aligned with confidence and it shows a level of maturity, I guess, and dominance that made people go like, oh, I trust you. I feel like I'm in safe hands with you. It gives you a more kind of, they say it's a bit of a more masculine energy and that can be aligned with, I guess,

authority in a classic sense. But did you know, dopamine can drop if you are someone that wears black on black on black. We talked about dopamine earlier, but dopamine levels can drop because you're not... So got are sad. You might have seen this.

I know the girlies would have dopamine dressing is a trend on like Instagram and stuff and it's going into your wardrobe and wearing anything regardless of fashion or trends that makes you feel really good. Right. So girlsies are wearing their sequins and their feathers to work

and lots of earrings and it's dopamine dressing. So I guess like the way that I dress would be sometimes the opposite. That misery bleed from my black heart. Okay, if you had to read to rate, review or marry, Fletch, Vaughn or Haley, what one would it be?

Okay, I would marry Haley. I would have sex. Wait, which one is it? No, no, no, no, it's only rate, review, marry. Oh, okay. No comment. I could have sex with the podcast, I don't know how that would work. Give us a sexy little review, though. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Haley.
