Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Thanks Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Two minutes past six.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Hello. Do you know what I saw over the weekend? What's that? Some mad bastards have started putting their Christmas trees up. Too early. December 1st. Yeah. But some people just love it so much.
Starting point is 00:00:31 They spend so much money. They want it up for more times of the year. I don't have farmers open on my web browser buying more decorations for my tree. That is one ornament for that price. No, I know, but they've got to buy one, get one free. So actually, it's half. Still two for that price. Still pretty pricey.
Starting point is 00:00:49 But you know the theme of my tree is flowers and birds. Can't you just get some Kmart baubles or farmer's baubles like the rest of us? Flowers and birds. Flowers and birds. Okay. Interesting. Thank you. It has a theme.
Starting point is 00:01:02 It has an aesthetic. It has to go with the house. Flowers and birds. Flowers and birds this year. Yeah. Okay. Flowers and birds, oh my. The top six today, Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Australia, in the name of science, I'm asking Australians to log their farts. Get a fart diary. Keep a track of their farts. Get your phone out. Is that the diary? Do you have to record them? Because sometimes
Starting point is 00:01:27 they just pop out, don't they? Yeah, you don't go, oh, quickly, quickly, quickly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like sometimes you might have one on board and you want to play that game
Starting point is 00:01:33 Guess My Fart, but it sneaks out before you find someone who will guess. Well, get into the reason... Don't look at me like I'm the only person that's played Guess My Fart.
Starting point is 00:01:41 No, I haven't, but I really enjoyed it when it was doing the rounds on Instagram. That was really good fun. Yeah, we'll get into why Australians are logging farts for science soon with the top six. I've got the top six types of farts that you could log. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:01:55 It's coming up. Love farts. Play Zed Eames, Fleshborn and Hayley. I spoke out of turn. I did. Because I said that this food trend doing the rounds on TikTok sounded disgusting. It's not.
Starting point is 00:02:05 It's just a version of a food that already exists. They're calling it dry yogurt, which immediately made me feel like, you know when you have yogurt and around the edges it gets that powdery crust? Yeah. That's what I was imagining, that we were eating the powdery yogurt crust.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Ooh, yuck. When you said dry yogurt, I imagined like yogurt covered raisins. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yogurt covered. Well, we're all wrong. Is that even yogurt? That's just chocolate, right?
Starting point is 00:02:30 That's 100% chocolate. That's just chocolate, right? How have they hardened the yogurt? I don't ask the questions of science. I let the science science. It's definitely tangy chocolate. I just let the science go in my mouth. Yep, same.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I'm happy. No, dry yogurt is, you know when you open up like a Greek style yogurt or a Greek yogurt and it's got all that water, you know, and you always like you mix it in and stuff. You know it's Greek yogurt because you open it and it's like, Sorry? Wow. Is that your Australian Greek? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That's a terrible Greek Australian. Nah, it's all good, bro. Is that cancelled? I think you cancelled. Yeah, G'day, mate. G'day, mate. That's a terrible Greek-Australian. Nah, it's all good, bro. Is it cancelled? I think you're cancelled. Yeah, I don't know. I think you're cancelled. No, I think you're cancelled. Yeah, that feels a bit off.
Starting point is 00:03:13 You're like... G'day, mate. There's a star. There's a star with the water on the top. Nah, that's you're cancelled, I think. No, that doesn't feel good. Doesn't feel... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I don't know. I mean... Wait, maybe... Just for that white, I feel nice. Yeah. I don't know. I mean. Wait, maybe. Just because they're white, I'm white. Yeah, I suppose so. I suppose so. Yeah. So dry yogurt is just like, you know, labneh, labneh, labneh.
Starting point is 00:03:37 What? You know, go to a cafe. You know, I think you've had a stroke. You know, you go to a cafe and it's just kind of like that smooth, thick, yogurty. Labneh. No. L-A-B-N-E-H. Labneh. I've got no idea what you're talking about. Labneh.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It's a Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yogurt. It's thick, creamy, tangy, and man. Ah, yes. So this is kind of yogurt. I don't know this head of name. I just call it dip. Labneh. Dip.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Labneh. So it's strained yogurt, basically. That's also a drink style. You're just straining. Yeah, you're straining. Don't.. Labneh. Dip. Labneh. So it's strained yogurt, basically. That's also a Greek style. Yeah, you're straining. Don't. Good on my. No. No, you're straining all the water out of your yogurt.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Well, why not just. This is a straining Greek yogurt. Oh, bloody hell, this is heavy. Why are they doing it? I don't know. It's just a food trend that's going around and they're doing it and like they're draining their yogurt and then they're making shapes like domes and stuff because it kind of goes almost like a silken tofu texture.
Starting point is 00:04:32 You know, that like thick gelatinous kind of jelly. Now you're talking. Thick and gelatinous. Thick and gelatinous. You're on board. You're on board. Yeah, that's your duo name, eh, you two. Thick and gelatinous.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Thick and gelatinous. Thick and gelatinous. So they do that and they make these little like balls and then they're making them look all nice and aesthetic and stuff. So this is like this huge thing. It's everywhere. You've got to smack it, kids. Stop playing with your food and just eat it. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah. I just, when I open my yoga, because I have yoga every single day. Yeah. Gut health. Gut health. Gut health. Protes, brah. I mix it up. I just mix it up. The watery bit. Yeah. Gut health. Gut health. Protes, brah. I mix it up.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I just mix it up. The watery bit. Yeah. Mix it in. I let my yogurt wet. Like many other things. Yeah. Again, I don't get used to doing the voice. Got on, mate. Got on, mate.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. A UK company. I believeM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. A UK company. I believe it's pronounced Ook. An Ook company. Now, this is... He's been saying that wrong for honestly the whole time I've known him. I know, I've had a guts full. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I've had guts full of it. O2 is UK's, sorry, the Ook's largest mobile phone or network operator. Yes. So much like our Spark or Vodafone here. Whenever I go to UK, that's the one I always use. Yeah. Yeah, because it's super cheap, eh? So operator. Yes. So much like our Spark or Vodafone here. Whenever I go to the UK, that's the one I always use. Yeah, because it's super cheap, eh? So cheap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And you can get roaming all... Yeah, it's good, it's good, it's good. Well, they have introduced a chatbot designed to frustrate phone scammers that, you know, take advantage of a lot of elderly. That's good stuff. They do. You know, and they're... Because I've never...
Starting point is 00:06:03 I mean, I don't have a landline, but I'm guessing they're calling cell phones too. I've never had a scammer try to call me. Have you? Yeah, I have. Heaps. Heaps. There was a period a few years ago where it was like five times a week. I don't know, a number would call or Yeah, or a number that
Starting point is 00:06:19 had like 5,000 digits to it. You get the texts or the emails like that, or you've got a courier that's, you know that just needs you to fill out this and pay $4.99. Your package is held at customs. Well, they have released an AI granny. It's called Daisy. The A-I and Daisy are capitals. I like that.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Good from them. Good from them. Now, it combines various AI models that transcribe the caller's voice into text before generating a response in real time, like you're having a conversation. And the whole idea of this is to waste scammers' time so that you're not getting scammed
Starting point is 00:06:59 because they've moved on to the next person, i.e. you. And apparently there have been reports of this AI granny wasting Scammer's time up to 40 minutes. It's so good. And they don't know. I've seen the video. So I can play you a little bit now. Please do.
Starting point is 00:07:15 You'd never know. So W's then a dot. Three times W and then dot. I think your profession is bothering people, right? I'm just trying to have a little chat. It's nearly been an hour. For the love of... Gosh, how time flies.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Because while they're busy talking to me, they can't be scamming you. And let's face it, dear, I've got all the time in the world. Oh, my God. You'd never know, right? That's not a real woman. That's just the pace that old people talk at.
Starting point is 00:07:47 That is, when you see the video. So a W and then a dot. Yeah, and she's like, do you want to see my, she's going on about her cat. Oh, God. It's so good. It's really good. I don't know, none of the news articles say how it works,
Starting point is 00:08:02 like if you've got to have an app or you have to then somehow transfer the call or maybe you just put the phone down next to your computer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, apparently it's been developed. The AI was trained in part by Jim Browning. He's a Scambait guy on YouTube who has a huge following and it's kind of become a sport for some people. It's so...
Starting point is 00:08:21 To waste scammers' time. I've done a little bit of it before, like indulged a call or two, you know, answering questions, you know, and then until they figure it out and they're mostly, they'll just hang up straight away.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah, yeah, because they get it. The moment they know that you're like onto them. But I think because... Because she's a sweet granny. I know, they have no idea. So how am I doing with a W and a dot?
Starting point is 00:08:40 That woman who was trying to scam her there was like, it's nearly been an hour. She's had her on the phone for an hour. How good. They've come out and said, because they've released this, the video's a couple of minutes long. Those are actual scammers that they're talking to.
Starting point is 00:08:57 So they haven't faked that video up. They're actual scammers. Imagine if that was a full-time job, though, for a human being, and you were a scammer time waster. You turn up to work every day and you've got your little lunch and stuff set up your computer you're like right you'd have to be good at acting yeah yeah and then they transfer the call to you well i am got a degree and they transfer the call to you and then you just play characters she was talking about a hypothetical situation and you were just saying the person would need to be good at acting she immediately took that as you saying.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I was like, how do you even insinuate? I am. As we established last week, I am so good that I can act a real-life baby coming out and make you think that a baby has arrived. Okay? In reality itself. But it would be so fun.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You could do a different character each time, different accents, have a whole back story. You could work on your characters. It would be great for out-of-work actors, that kind of job. Why'd you look at me when you said out-of-work actors? Well, you're not out-of-work. Just don't look at her when you say it. Don't look at her when you talk about acting.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Out-of-acting work, okay? That's what you were highlighting. It'd be great for those actors out-of-work, Vaughn. Yeah, like Hayley. Oh, goddammit. So now you've joined. Great. Play.
Starting point is 00:10:01 ZDM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. I knew. Even I knew what was happening there. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It was good fun. Hey, man, you really formed that. The CSIRO, Australians something, something, something, something, are asking people to record their flatulence data. Now, record as in... There's a diary on your phone. Nah, it looks like frequency, stench, loudness and duration are your criteria.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Like, someone's getting paid to run this study. I do apologise. In the app where you log it, if you do get to it in time, you can click a record button and record the sound of your fart. Hilarious. I'm sorry, but could you imagine them sitting in the room analysing all the data? Just the funniest. You're like, I went to university for six years, man.
Starting point is 00:10:55 What am I doing? Dietitian Megan Rebuley says, some people find farts embarrassing and uncomfortable, but by tracking them and talking openly about them, we can learn more about our gut health. She's going to know if someone's been on the Greek yogurt, that's for sure. Oh, God, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I did a gig on... Because it'll go... I did a gig on Friday at Waihi Beach, and, you know, I'd had my colonoscopy on Thursday, and they inflate your colon. And they did say to me, they were like, you'll have farts and stuff. I was like, it's fine, but they didn't come out until Friday.
Starting point is 00:11:32 And I had to keep going to the bathroom at this gig and be like... Oh, Hayley. Just releasing. It was just air. Look at the types of farts you can log for science. Okay. And we can all make noises about what they'll sound
Starting point is 00:11:46 like. Very mature. Very demure. It is for science. It's encouraging science. Number six on the list. The one that needs a check. Afterwards. You need a check. Those are the ones. Sounds sloppy.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Maybe a wipe. Maybe just a precautionary wipe. See what we've got going on Too much moisture in that one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So one that if you do it around someone they're like did you just shake yourself? Whoa. Are you alright? Did you say why they want farts
Starting point is 00:12:14 logged? Like what are they? Oh it's for gut health. They're trying to get the sort of like the temperature
Starting point is 00:12:20 of the nation on gut health. Right. Right. Okay interesting. Yeah. It just sounds like they want to take all these farts and make a funny campaign.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Right. Like keeping an eye on your own digestive tract. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so number six is the one that needs a check. Yeah. So it sounds like...
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yes, that was so good. Because there's a little bit of... Like the air's working its way around something. Yeah. Yeah. Number five on the list of... They're also eating right now. Oh, well, good morning.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Well, they're eating poo. Yes, boy. You can hear a fart while you're eating. That's good stuff. Number... I mean, not at the dinner table. That's crude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:03 That's very crude. Top six types of farts you can log for science. That deep, ghastly one that sounds like you're hollow. Like it's rumbled its way out. It's a big, it's like a church fart. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Like there was just nothing in its path. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It came running around the colon and then... Love that. Number four on the list. Number four on the list of the top six types of farts you can log for science. The quiet one that you get away with just because conversation's happening, but a potent stench.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Oh, yeah, yeah. Are they the long, quiet ones or the quick, quiet ones? They're just like... And you're like, it just because... If it's dead silence, someone's going to hear it, but in a sort of... In the moment, yeah. There's nothing worse than getting away with a fart.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah. But it's... It's... And then someone comes over to talk to you. Yeah. You're like, I'm so sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's go over here.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Oh, my God. Look over there. Look over there. Let's move. Yeah. Those are the ones because I short generally not enough escapes for it to be smelly. But if it's like a. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And you're like, I got away with that. Yeah. And you're like, oh, no. No, I didn't. It's trapped in my jeans. It's time to move. It's moving with me. Number three on didn't. It's trapped in my jeans. It's time to move. It's moving with me. Number three on the list.
Starting point is 00:14:27 It's trapped in my jeans. It's leaking out slowly from my jeans. Just pop a button to let it out. Number three on the list of the top six types of farts you can log for science. The long one. That even surprises you and it's coming out of you. And it always has a little accent at the end. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Like. Yeah. It's evening, so you just, like, give it a little squeeze and it kind of shoots the caboose out. Didn't it? Like, if it was a symbol, it would be the Nike tick. Yeah. Like if it was a symbol, it would be the Nike tick. Yes. Number two on the list of the top six types of farts that you can lock for silence.
Starting point is 00:15:20 A silent one that's not smelly, that makes you question if it even happens. Yes, just a release of air. Yeah. And you're like, that is going to stink. And air. Yeah. And you're like, that is going to stink. And it doesn't. Nothing. And you're like, I'm an angel.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Maybe it didn't happen. Yeah. Maybe I just moved. Yeah. Could be air stuck in my jeans. It's slowly leaking from my jeans. And number one
Starting point is 00:15:39 on the list of the top six types of farts you could like for science are the one that wakes you up. Oh my God, yeah. That's always like a, like a real, just a classic. Yeah. Six types of farts you can log for science are the one that wakes you up. Oh, my God, yeah. That's always like a real, just a classic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah. What time is it? Jesus. What a shameful human action, eh? Farting yourself awake. Yeah, yeah. Like, we're just animals. Snoring yourself awake is embarrassing, but farting yourself awake...
Starting point is 00:16:05 What was that? It was you, babe. But farting yourself awake's shameful. Yeah, it is. It's shameful. To the core. And then do you give your duvet a couple of... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You've got to get it out. A couple of pumps. Get it out. You don't want to be trapped in the jeans. You don't want to be trapped in your jeans. It's slowly leaking out of my jeans. That's today's toxic. Play Z't want to be trapped in your jeans. It's slowly leaking out of my jeans. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Let's talk about lavender marriages. Now, lavender marriages is something that goes back to the 1920s when it was unacceptable to be a homosexual. Okay. And so a lot of the time, and particularly of people of high profile, like actors and actresses, they were encouraged to marry someone
Starting point is 00:16:50 to kind of present as heterosexual. Right, to cover it up. To cover it up. And then that couple that got married would have an arrangement. It's a lavender marriage, meaning like maybe they're both gay or one of them's gay
Starting point is 00:17:04 and the arrangement is like we just you know this is sort of how we're presenting ourselves but i'm gonna go and have my fun you can go have your fun and the marriage is just a marriage of convenience and then everyone stops asking when are you getting married everyone stops asking that that probably works well for the woman and if the man's a homosexual works well for him because they're like what are you doing and he's like nothing she going to stay at home with the cats? Yeah, with the cats and he can go out to the clubs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 You know? So that was huge and then it kind of changed shape, but it's been around for ages, people just sort of getting married for convenience. Why did they call them lavender? I don't really understand where lavender came from. Because that was always the colour associated with homosexuality, right? Purple. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah, that's right. Growing up, purple was the gay colour, wasn't it? Yeah, before the whole flag. Before it was a rainbow, it was just purple. Just purple. That's right. Interesting. So now, Gen Z have kind of redefined lavender marriages Is lavender the gayest colour? I put, is lavender and it's the gayest colour. And what is lavender and it said the gayest colour. And what's the answer? In the 20th century, lavenders and lilacs replaced the heavy mauves and decadent purples of previous generations.
Starting point is 00:18:15 These lighter colours developed a queer hue as they became more fashionable with women and lavender became a slang term for a gay man. A queer hue. Haven't you heard? Steve's a lavender. He's you heard? Steve's a lavender. He's a lavender. Steve's a lavender.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Wow. Okay. Look at that jacket. All sorts of buggery and such. I saw him in a lavender t-shirt. What a queer hue. So now Gen Z have kind of reclaimed lavender marriages and it's less about hiding sexuality.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah. And it's more about convenience sexuality and it's more about convenience. Yeah, I was going to say convenience. Stability, connection, shared support and basically like costs. Maybe even,
Starting point is 00:18:56 I was going to say being able to afford a house. That's one of the main reasons is people going like, look, I don't really want to get married but we could be a unit together, you and I. You've got to have a bestie to do this though because don't really want to get married, but we could be a unit together, you and I. You've got to have a bestie to do this though, because you don't want to get a house to someone
Starting point is 00:19:09 you hardly know. I know. And you're stuck with them. Yeah. But they're going like sky high living costs. If you were to keep going, like you can share costs of food, you can share costs of rent or mortgage, you can buy a house together. You could have someone that was there as your emotional support, someone there to sort of, you know buy a house together, you could have someone that's always there as your emotional support,
Starting point is 00:19:25 someone there to sort of, you know, help you through life. And it doesn't have to be like a romantic or sexual relationship. And this is on the rise, people making profiles, looking for lavender marriages, being like, I want to share my life with someone, but I don't want it to be
Starting point is 00:19:39 in a traditional relationship sense. Rejecting again, you know, the standards of the societal norms. And then if you find someone that's got shared goals, maybe it's someone you could travel the world with or you could save with, they're reliable, go through life's ups and downs with, but then be like, I don't love you or anything. I don't need anything else from you.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I'm not going to touch your genitals. No, God. Everything else is fine. Separate bedrooms. So isn't that just marriage after like 15, 20 years? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was literally going to say these lavender marriages just sound like how marriages go.
Starting point is 00:20:18 ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little poes, silly little poes. It is so silly, silly, silly that and Hayley. You just said five to seven and I was like, absolutely, it's midday, look outside.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Look at this day. Look at this, just the fact that Bright, we're just over a outside. Look at this day. Look at this, just the fact that Bright were just over a month away from the longest day. Yeah. What's the longest day? 23rd of December or something.
Starting point is 00:20:53 The one that's like, ta-da! Sun the longest. Well, speaking of the sun, it might be up or it might be down when you make love. That's alright. Completely up to you. This is a question that's gone viral in the last week because some chick asked it on TikTok. A chick on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:21:09 A chick on TikTok, a girlie on TikTok. And now we're all debating this. It's a fierce debate. What time of the day is the best time? Morning. For a bit of nookie. What about some people are evening. I mean, any time.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I would take it any time of the morning. You'd just be stoked any time. And I knew there was science to it. Like, here's real quick, nine unbelievable benefits of doing it in the morning. Okay. Your body's primed and ready to go. It's the peak, like, if you sleep normal hours,
Starting point is 00:21:34 if you're not a shift worker. The cicadas outside and their rhythm. The cicadian rhythms. The cicadian rhythm is when it is the peak of your estrogen and testosterone levels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He'll last longer. That's another.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Really? One of the things. The more testosterone, the better the chances that he's going to last longer, and it's going to be hotter. It releases the cuddle hormone. It's a stress reliever. Endorphins flood the body, and it's a great start to the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Even then, you've got to get up for work. There's no time for cuddles. No cuddles. No cuddles. But you get to take the cuddle hormones into the day. Right. It counts as a workout.
Starting point is 00:22:07 It's good for the brain. Boosts the immune system. Still waiting for Apple rings to add that one actually. Yeah, I know. I always look at his other. Yeah. The other.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Leave the watch on. Leave the watch on. Easy way to get a few calories. I don't want to get a notification saying Hayley's just finished an other. Seven minutes.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Yeah. Finished a workout. Well, according to you, the responders to our silly little pile, evening wins. We're doing it at night.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Evening at 55%. It's convenient, right? You're getting into bed. You've probably had a shower before you got into bed. You're feeling clean and fresh. Then you're going to need another shower.
Starting point is 00:22:42 It's so weird that you guys shower immediately afterwards. No, I don't. And then she's like, oh, I wonder why I keep getting... No. Sorry, you've had three summers... Three summers going for a fourth.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah. 29% of people said morning. 16% you're in the day. Afternoon delight's a bit of fun. There's no option here for late night drunken fumble about. God, that goes on too long and then has no real ending.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you're like, should we call it? Should we put a pause on it here? We'll put this up at a later date. Yeah. Nothing's going to come from this. People are getting their names,
Starting point is 00:23:14 by the way. They're getting named because they won't be shamed. Okay. They will be named Finn. Absolutely in the morning. Who's got the time for it in the evening? Yeah, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:23 If you leave it to the end of the day, it's too easy to just end up not doing it. Yeah, tired. When I first read this, I thought it was about when to sort out life admin, pay bills, do the laundry, etc. You know, adult times.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Oh, no. I'm so sorry that your mind went there immediately, Josh. Yeah. Sister Fran. Remember when we talked about Sister Fran? Yeah. She's not tuned out, even though we aren't exactly well-behaved Catholics.
Starting point is 00:23:48 But then I'm beginning to maybe believe she's not a nun after all because she said, where's the all three choice? Oh, Sister Fran. Sister Fran's down for it any time of the day. No, she is not a woman of the cloth. Surely not. If you can pull off the afternoon, it's top tier, said Sarah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Afternoon's exciting. Yeah. Because most people are working. Should we do a little afternoon time? Yeah, I love it. Yeah, that's good stuff. In the evenings, mainly just because the kids are asleep, says Jane. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Ruben says there's simply no better way to wake up than a little bit of morning. Yeah. Good times. Tony Anna said, it's the best just before bed as you can go to bed happy and exhausted. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. Afternoon Delight says, Joel, people do, Afternoon Delight's a special treat. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And Kat said, in the evening after showers when we're both clean and have nice minty breath. I got the feeling Kat's not just like a spirit of the moment sort of. No. Let's get down to it. Sounds like there's got to be prim and proper. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 But morning breath. See, to me, I don't mind the morning breath. I think it adds a little something to it. It's a bit stanky. It's a bit stanky. It is. Yeah. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I love you too, but I'm not sorry about it. Okay. I had the weekend. It was a massive build-up. And as somebody messaged in, let's not forget, Mike Tyson has a history that is certainly not gentlemanly. And I couldn't agree more. The guy did some terrible things.
Starting point is 00:25:20 He's, you know, historically a piece of shit. And he was going to, At the age of 58? Also, it feels like he should be older than that. Yeah. It feels like he's been around... Since the 80s. Yeah, he's been kind of like... Fighting since the 80s.
Starting point is 00:25:34 But he was super young. He was very young. He was like a teenager when he first started. Because you watched the documentary. I watched the documentary with my dad because I come from a boxing family. My granddad was a boxer and a referee and stuff. Which one? My dad's dad. Oh, your dad's
Starting point is 00:25:48 dad. Matt Sproul, yeah. Matt Sproul? That's a boxer's name. Yeah, Matt Sproul. What was his fighting name? Matt the Puncher Sproul. No, I don't think he had one. Sort of back in the day it was like give you a jolly good punch up. But I watched it with my dad and I did sort of
Starting point is 00:26:04 get a little bit invested in the thing. And then Aaron was like, it's all rigged. Like it's all just a farce, really. And I was like, no, it's not. And then, yeah, I watched 10 minutes of it and I was like, oh, yes, it is. But wait, this was on Netflix. They have boxing now?
Starting point is 00:26:18 Live. Netflix was trialling a live event. Interesting. And man, buffering. I was like, get off the Wi-Fi. And the kids are like, we're not even on the Wi-Fi. That's not even a live event. And man, buffering. I was like, get off the Wi-Fi! And the kids are like, we're not even on the Wi-Fi. That's not even a thing anymore. And then all my mates are like, all around the world it was buffering.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I mean, one way to know that it was a set up from the get-go was the fact that Jake Paul was being paid $40 million for the fight and Mike Tyson was being paid $20 million. It was all just money. Not to say that they didn't train and they didn't work hard for it, but they didn was being paid $20 million. Like it was all just money. Yeah. Not to say that they didn't train and they didn't work hard for it, but they didn't put it in the ring. Was Jack Paul giving some of his $40 million to Mike Tyson as well?
Starting point is 00:26:54 I don't know. Because that was the other thing, right? I don't know. There's a whole lot of online conspiracies about it because it was terrible. Right. The woman's boxing was probably the best fight of the whole thing. Yeah. I just don't like boxing.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Neither. Neither do I. I can't stand it it i've been asked to do those celebrity um fighting things before and a part of me was like oh i'd love the chance i'd love the excuse to go to the gym and get fit for it the moment anyone clocked me in the drawer be like oh yeah yeah do you know what i learned at the weekend? There's two Pauls. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I thought there was a singular Paul. Shannon is really laughing at you right now. I didn't know this. What are you two brothers? Because I was like, how is he fitting all this into his schedule? He's got the wrestling. He's got a new baby. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And I rattled it off. And then Sade's like, you know, there's two of them. I was like, what? Because the Pauls were, no, no. And I rattled it off. And then Sade's like, you know there's two of them. I was like, what? Because the Pauls were, Shannon, that's your generation, eh? Give Vaughn a little lesson on the Pauls. There literally was a whole YouTube beef
Starting point is 00:27:54 where the two of them wrote songs about each other. It was a whole thing. Jake's the younger one. He was on Disney. Logan's the one who filmed a dead body and got cancelled a few years ago. I was in Japan. This is all the same person.
Starting point is 00:28:06 No, two different people, very similar vibes. Like I can see why you would think they were the same person. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But great, great stories. One thing to get Vaughn, you back on board with this whole world.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I would like you to Google someone due to lairdom. J-U-T-T-A J-U-T-T-A. J-U-T-T-A. Space L-E-E-R-D-A-M. Ah, yeah. Okay, Dutch speed skater. Yeah, that's Jake's girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:28:33 She's an Olympic Dutch speed skater. You know I've always loved speed skating. And I just know... I'm glad you pointed this towards me because of course I love speed skating. She's the girl from the meme. The speed skating meme. They were like, you get beaten by the same person twice
Starting point is 00:28:50 and she beats the skater and then zips down her top and her cleavage is out and the other skater's just like, you're kidding me. Yeah, she's something. Anyway, do you know what? I'm so glad the fight's over because I just want it out of my feed now. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:05 I'm just sort of like, okay, bye. I just can't believe it broke Netflix. Yeah, it did. Nothing breaks Netflix. I know, it's unbreakable. Didn't an episode, a reunion of, what was it, Shannon? The only other time Netflix broke. Love is Blind.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Love is Blind reunion. It took about two hours for it to start. And at that point, all of the contestants had had too many lemonades. And it was an absolute shitshow. Do you think they're ever going to be able to do live events if the whole world's trying to watch? No. It's too much, eh? Is it just too much?
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yeah. I don't know how you would even. If we're all watching the All Blacks, I don't know, it's only just a little bit of New Zealand watching it, you know? Yeah, I know. The whole planet. The whole planet's trying to watch a live event. Is that even possible? No, I don't know, it's only just a little bit of New Zealand watching it, you know? Yeah, I know, but the whole planet. The whole planet's trying to watch a live event. Is that even possible? No, I don't know. Well, apparently not because it was buffering, as Vaughn said.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah. But that was, I would really be interested to see the viewing stats. I'm sure. You should probably Google them. How many people watched and how long they watched for? Because I think, like you said, I just saw these people tapping out early in it. Scrooging is the term during the rounds at the moment.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Because of the origin of Ebenezer Scrooge, the character from The Christmas Story. A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol. Yeah. Charles Dickens. Yeah. You knew this. Yeah. Charles Dickens. Yeah. You knew this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I know Ebenezer Scrooge and he was tight with his money and that's why Scrooge McDuck is called Scrooge McDuck. He's named a game we've confirmed. He is a duck. He is a duck. Yeah. Duh. But the Scrooge title comes from Ebenezer Scrooge
Starting point is 00:30:39 because he was a penny pincher. That's right. And so is Uncle Scrooge. So a Christmas Carol. They perform this all the time. I've seen Ray Henwood do a Christmas carol. He used to do it at Circa Theatre. Rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:30:49 As Di's father. Di's father. And he would do this at Christmas time every year and he'd sit down and would read Dickens' Christmas carol in his fantastic Welsh New Zealand accent. And yeah, the character Ebenezer Scrooge is basically a bit of a grinch at Christmas, doesn't want to spend any money.
Starting point is 00:31:05 So the term Scrooging that is doing the rounds at the moment is the act of someone breaking up with you just before the festive season so they don't have to buy you a Christmas present. Or you could say someone Scrooging if they broke up with you before Valentine's Day or your birthday. Totally.
Starting point is 00:31:21 But Scrooge is... Christmas affiliated. Yeah, there is a Christmas affiliation. So that's why people can be like, oh, you're being a bit of a Scrooge, even affiliated. Yeah. There is a Christmas affiliation. Yeah. So that's why people can be like, oh, you're being a bit of a Scrooge even if you're just not getting into the Christmas spirit. Yeah. So some people are saying that Christmas Scrooging is obviously like if you were so
Starting point is 00:31:36 willing to dump someone just to not spend money on them. There's underlying issues that are more than not willing to spend money. It's a good excuse. I feel like yeah, the fact that you've got to buy them a Christmas present is just... It's just the last thing you've got to ask for. I actually can't be bothered. I don't want to be with that person so I'm going to scrooge them
Starting point is 00:31:51 and break up with them right before. I've definitely... I remember breaking up with my boyfriend when I was like 17 or 18 just before my birthday. And I remember he had bought me a present
Starting point is 00:32:09 and it was already at his flat. Yeah. And I remember seeing it wrapped up. Why didn't you wait a few days? I asked for it. You didn't. I don't remember. It was a wallet.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's so weird. Was it an Alpro wallet or a Rip Curl? No, it was like a leopard print. Classy. It was like a leopard print zip-up wallet. Wait, how many days did you break out before your birthday? It would have only been like a couple because I remember he made me this playlist
Starting point is 00:32:37 for my birthday or something. I don't know. I can't remember all the details. Wait, please tell me he didn't give you the wallet. Yeah, he gave it to me. He was like, what am I going to do with it? What a nice boy. I remember being in a shop, seeing a wallet,
Starting point is 00:32:51 and then I remember seeing a present there and being like, oh, I reckon that's the wallet. And then breaking up with him and then being like, oh, is that my gift? Because the girl that dumped me on Christmas got me a present. Oh, that's right. She got dumped on Christmas Day. She wasn't scrooging.
Starting point is 00:33:06 She spent the money. But it was a weird present. It was an egg and you cracked it open and it was a good luck dragon and you put a coin in his mouth and it was good luck. Oh, I remember those. I put the coin in his mouth. No good luck. I got dumped.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Good luck out there on your own was sort of what she meant. But I got her, of course, the Killing Heidi CD. Great album. Great album. Yeah. Phenomenal album. Double CD. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Spend the money. Yeah. Was that a white singer, white lady doing dreadlocks? Dreadlocks, yeah. Canceled. Come on. Can you imagine? It was the year 2000.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Yeah, true. We didn't know about that. Wait, but when did the gift exchange occur Before the words were said I don't want to be with you Yeah, there was a gift exchange And then what? So she opens the gift
Starting point is 00:33:52 I can't remember It was You might think I bring this up a lot I bring it up for a gag mostly Yeah I can't remember The gifts were exchanged And then sometime later
Starting point is 00:34:03 Right Well, if you are thinking of Scrooge-ing someone, you've only got 36 sleeps until Christmas. You're leaving it a bit late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd Scrooge sort of this week. I'd Scrooge with some urgency. You'd Scrooge with urgency.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. A Swedish minister, she's the Minister of Gender Equality in Sweden. Okay. She has, and it's not just a dislike. She is saying a sort of allergy. It's not an allergy. It's a phobia of bananas.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Bananas. Banana. Is that actually a thing? Well, you can be phobic of anything. Yeah. Yeah, true. It's sort of an allergy, you could say. That's not. But it's not an allergy, you could say. That's not.
Starting point is 00:34:45 But it's not an allergy. You are allergic. But if you've got a strong phobia, then you've got a strong phobia. So apparently she can't even have them in the room. If she's going to a meeting and there's a fruit bowl, people go ahead and clear out the bananas. Wow. Right, so this has become a big news story.
Starting point is 00:35:03 It's a massive news story. This is as big as political scandals get in Sweden? In Sweden, yeah, maybe. It's a minister that's allergic to bananas. Yeah. So I just Googled, banana allergies are prevalent in about 0.1 to 1.2% of the population. It's a very...
Starting point is 00:35:18 0.1 or 0.01? 0.1. 0.1. So for every 1,000 people, there's someone who's allergic to bananas? Yes.1. 0.1. So for every 1,000 people, there's someone who's allergic to bananas? Yes. That's quite a lot. But it says here,
Starting point is 00:35:30 severe banana intolerance may present with mild or severe symptoms. Because it's quite a neutral fruit. It's got to be top three for everybody. And I love bananas. It's touching the fruit or its peel. That'll make you, I'm guessing, maybe puff up or something. Yeah, but see,
Starting point is 00:35:46 if she was allergic, she'd say, she's not allergic, she's just scared of them. It's sort of an allergy you could say. It's something that I get professional help with.
Starting point is 00:35:54 She's seeing a therapist. Well, do you think she's ever seen any of the Minions movies? Oh, no, you wouldn't. They look too much like a little squash banana. They look like a little banana
Starting point is 00:36:01 and they say, bananas! Do you think she's seen bananas in pyjamas? I mean, that's Australian. That would freak her out. That's a nightmare. They'll catch you unawares. Yeah, they bananas. Do you think she's seen bananas in pyjamas? I mean, that's Australian. They'll freak her out. That's a nightmare. They'll catch you unawares.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Yeah, they will, right? And she's like, bananas. She's like, why are they wearing pants? I'm not here to mock her. I've got a stupid phobia of the M-O-T-H's. I get it. And it's a silly thing to have phobia of. But I get that phobia.
Starting point is 00:36:23 You get it. And it's not super common, but it's not uncommon. You know what I mean? Like it's got its own term. There's a thing. Whereas banana phobia doesn't have its own name. No, it doesn't. Oh, you googled.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Nah, but it's just under an umbrella of food phobias. Right. Bananas, not specifically. What is it about them? I get the stringies weird. They bruise. Oh, yeah. I don't like eating the string.
Starting point is 00:36:50 You know when one comes off? Do you know why I don't like eating the stringers? Because my great uncle lived on the same farm as us growing up, and he had Parkinson's disease. Right. And he loved bananas. And he, like me, likes eating a brown banana. Yeah. But I remember, as a kid, like me, likes eating a brown banana. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:05 But I remember, as a kid, their house always smelled like smoke because his wife smoked inside. Inside, I know. Just this whole, you know, all your senses get involved. Yeah. And I remember him offering me a bite of his banana with his, he had the shakes, the Parkinson's shakes, and he had that string of banana in his mouth,
Starting point is 00:37:21 and he was, like, trying to suck it up, going. Oh, God, that's just an image that's stuck with you. a little kid like i was just like it scared me and there's a string every time i see a string of a banana i'm immediately taken back that would have put me off banana have a bite of this banana and you're like no thanks and sucking up the string oh poor uncle yeah that's my string of bananas. Somebody messaged in saying, bananas can taste spicy to me. Okay, now we're on to some good stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Very low spice food. And somebody said, I recently learned that if you've got a banana allergy it normally means you also have a latex allergy. So banana condoms definitely out. You're putting a condom, practising putting banana condoms, definitely out. God,
Starting point is 00:38:05 you're putting a condom, practising putting a condom on a banana. That's also out. Hellish. Jesus. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Now a Toronto law firm have shared an interesting case that they've dealt with and the most annoying thing about this is that because of the attorney client, it's just, I guess, the secrecy and the privacy. We don't know how the story ended. But a couple divorced.
Starting point is 00:38:39 They both had tickets to see Taylor Swift in Toronto. Has the Toronto show's been, eh? The Toronto show's been? Yes. Yes? So she's finished. Oh, no, we were sending people to Vancouver. Yeah, we were sending people to the Vancouver show.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Vancouver's another part of Canada. So they had two tickets, but they divorced. And in the divorce, the one thing they had to sort out was who owns these tickets. Oh, you're not going and sitting next to each other, are you? Even though they may have paid $300 to $400 each for these tickets, on StubHub, the resale sites that are like all over the US and Canada, tickets were going for $13,000 each.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Jeepers. $13,000 each. Yesterday was the Toronto show. Yesterday was Toronto. So the court needed to decide on this before that show, and they did, and they were apparently happy with the outcome. The law firm presented the couple with three options.
Starting point is 00:39:33 They could go to the concert together. One person could buy the tickets of the other for the current market value, $13,000, or they could both sell the tickets and split the proceeds. And again, we don't know what happened. But then you both missed out on going to a very desired concert. Yeah. So this Toronto lawyer said that they're used to dealing with stuff like this
Starting point is 00:39:57 all the time in divorces. They said couples have fought it out over wine collections. I mean, ooh la la. That can be very valuable. How the other half live. Artwork, exercise equipment, and the family pet. Yeah, yeah, the family pet makes sense. Like who gets a dog that you both bought together 10 years ago?
Starting point is 00:40:14 Those little things, though, that are of sentimental value, those would be the things that would be the hardest. Yeah. Not the couch, the bed, the car and all that. You kind of just sort that out. What if you're associating a value with something? Because what if you're like, okay, you can have the dog's ashes, but that means I get the big screen TV.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah. Because how do you put the value on it? Me too. How do you put the value on? Totally the TV. How do you put the value on it? The dog's gone. But if your relationship ended, your marriage ended,
Starting point is 00:40:41 and it wasn't amicable, would you want something just because you knew the other person loved it? I'd be taking her into court for the Arctic Fox head. Get out. It's my Arctic Fox head. Yeah, it was a gift for you, but really, I paid for it. So it's my Arctic Fox head. Well, no, it's a gift. They'll get you there.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Will they? You'd never say it was a gift. It's like engagement rings. Yes, it's mine. You're gifting that person the engagement ring. So technically I can sell it. Yeah. Well, this is what I wanted to ask. What item did you fight over during the
Starting point is 00:41:15 breakup? Was it something like some tickets? Was it something like, I don't know, a piece of artwork? Something unusual. Not like, you know, who gets the beach house. The kids split. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure there'll be so many odd little items.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Because, I mean, if you're married or you've been together a while, you would be able to go through court, but what if you'd only been together a year and a half or something and, like, do you get to take the PlayStation back that you bought him? I was going to say, I wonder if there would be things like, you know, like record collections, if you've both been kind of, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:46 curating music and stuff. You'd have a fight over that. But this is where the lawyers make their money. Yeah, baby. You're sitting down to talk about a record collection that's not worth that much money
Starting point is 00:41:55 but it's sentimental and now you've got to pay both of your lawyers their astronomical hourly fee to try to mediate this. They're the only ones that win out of this. Fine.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Well, you can have Rage Against the Machine and I'll get Alanis Morissette and we'll just call it. Wait, that's my Jagged Little Pill. I'll take Jagged Little Pill. I mean, just go out and buy another one, you know? This one's limited edition. It's got a live version of...
Starting point is 00:42:17 It's original. Okay, we want to take your calls. 0800 dials at M. You can text through 9696. What small item did you fight over during the breakup? Give us a call. A Toronto couple had to get lawyers involved when the marriage broke up to split the Taylor Swift tickets. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I mean, fair enough. We've seen how desirable and whatnot that these tickets were. We want to know the thing that was argued about in the breakup, whether it was a divorce or just a relationship breakup. Yeah. Anonymous is called Anonymous. This is currently a fight that you're having. Yeah, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:42:57 So myself and my partner broke up a few weeks ago. Sorry to hear it. Myself and my partner broke up a few weeks ago. No, no,. Myself and my partner broke up a few weeks ago. No, no, no. She didn't say I didn't hear that. She said, I'm sorry to hear about that. No, that's okay. It happens.
Starting point is 00:43:14 So she has had this cat for about 10, 12 years, roughly. Yeah. She hates the cat. She absolutely despises this cat, wants absolutely nothing to do with this cat. I offered to take the cat off her hands when I was moving out and that started causing a lot of problems. She really did not want that.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I had to leave some of my stuff there because we were arguing so much. She has the cat and some of my stuff at her house right now. Does the cat like you more? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you love the cat more. That's your cat.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Yeah, well, that's what I thought, but apparently not. Oh, God. She hates the cat. That's horrible to be arguing over that. Yeah, she absolutely hates the cat with a passion. So she just doesn't want you to have it because now she hates you. Yeah. Okay, good luck sorting that out.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Yeah, have fun. Keep us updated. Who got the cat? I'll try my best. Jeepers, good luck. Is it a cute cat? What kind of cat is it? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:44:19 He's just an old black cat. Oh, yeah, a rescue cat like mine. Fletch, stop saying your cat's a rescue cat. It's a real rescue cat. I rescued it from a breeder. No, he paid a ransom, a hefty ransom fee. Yeah. Anonymous, thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Good luck with that. Some messages in. My mother-in-law is currently fighting over umbrellas and doormats. Doormats. Just have them. Like, you know, doormats and umbrellas. She's 74 and met another man. Well, I'm sorry, if she's met another man and moving on from her partner
Starting point is 00:44:49 and that's caused a marriage breakup, she doesn't get the door mats or the umbrellas. No, no. Maybe the door mats are symbolic. I reckon as a property, no, divorce lawyer, you'd get some juicy arguments, eh? It's my door mat. It says Kia Ora on it and I think that's a nice tasteful touch of the raio in the house. That's what I like.
Starting point is 00:45:09 The Dyson vacuum cleaner. Oh, okay. Those are expensive. Yeah, and the bloody lawnmower. And the bloody lawnmower. No, that different text. Oh, gosh. I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:45:19 because if you were both the lawnmower and the vacuum cleaner, just the grass and the carpet. Absolutely shambles. Keep your texts coming through. 9696 0800 dials it in. The items you were fighting over in your breakup. Jeepers creepers.
Starting point is 00:45:31 What item did you fight over in the breakup? A Canadian couple had to get lawyers involved to split the Taylor Swift tickets. I'm quite surprised at the amount of people fighting over the bed. Yeah. You know when you find a good bed, though. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Find a good bed. Someone said, oh, I can't find it now. Not small, but we fought over the beds. I gave in and let her have the nice bed, but not after a few Tinder hookups on it. Hey, you dirty doll. She still uses it to this day and it makes me very happy. Anonymous, what are you finding the X over?
Starting point is 00:46:06 Well, this was a few years ago now. Okay. It's sorted. Yeah, oh, it's sorted, yeah, absolutely, because my lawyer laughed. So, we won Powerball, First Division Powerball
Starting point is 00:46:21 years and years and years ago. Yeah, it would have been great, but we shared it. It was the first one that jackpotted, so he were one of 79 people. Oh! It had to go. Still probably got a good little
Starting point is 00:46:38 bit of coin. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Part of 10.5 mil, so it was quite nice. Anyway, my ex, 14 years later, as we were splitting up, my ex said to me, well, said to in front of the lawyer that we were talking to, well, I want more money because basically I bought the ticket. No.
Starting point is 00:47:01 That's not how it works. I want more money because... Yeah, go on. Yeah, yeah, it was joint money that you used to buy the ticket and I was eight months pregnant at the time and I couldn't get out of the car to go and buy the ticket. Yeah. Except for, hello. So, yes, it was quite comical, very comical indeed.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And obviously the lawyer was like, no. Yes, he said, no, no. No, that doesn't... He was just, yeah, he was just astounded. So did you, you split it, obviously. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Thank God. They were all 50-50, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yeah. Oh, my God. That is wild. Anonymous, thank you. Some messages in. My partner and his ex are still arguing over their settlement. To put this into perspective, we are now engaged with two children. So that much time has passed.
Starting point is 00:47:54 And they're still arguing over it. I've never been in that situation, but I just want it sorted quickly so everyone can move on and just let it be. I know. Leave it in the past. I know. He gave me a Dyson Airwrap for my birthday, and then a few weeks later we broke up and he asked let it be. I know. Leave it in the past. I know. He gave me a Dyson Airwrap for my birthday and then a few weeks later we broke
Starting point is 00:48:08 up and he asked for it back. He wanted to give it to his new girlfriend because it was quite an expensive stuff. Yeah, I mean they are like $800. Sounds like we had a bit of overlap there. Feels like some overlap. A bit of overlap? A bit of overlap. Somebody, the beard was another one, had a fight over
Starting point is 00:48:22 the beard. He'd sold his beard when we moved in together so technically it was mine but he debated that we should sell it and split the Somebody, the bed was another one, had a fight over the bed. He'd sold his bed when we moved in together, so technically it was mine, but he debated that we should sell it and split the cash because he didn't have a bed. Just go get a bed from Salvation Army for a while. You'll be all right. Get a cheap mattress.
Starting point is 00:48:36 The first thing my ex asked for when we split up was the cloner willy that we'd made together. The what? The cloner willy. So they moulded it? Yeah, you can mould it and make a Willy. He'd cheated on me
Starting point is 00:48:48 so I drove to his house and left it sat upright in the very open front doorstep so all his neighbours and passers-by could see it. That makes it sound
Starting point is 00:48:55 like he's got a big Willy though, doesn't it? If the neighbours can see it. Well, you wouldn't clone it if it wasn't. Yeah, but also if you couldn't see it. Is that why my clone
Starting point is 00:49:01 of Willy kit sits unused? Sits unused. Imagine if you couldn't see it from the road, the footpath. Yeah. That's a thing. The neighbors are like, what's that little thing there? What's that little nub on the doorstep? Nub on the doorstep.
Starting point is 00:49:13 It's like a small, the door handle's just fallen off. Also, you're telling me that people buy these kits and then. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah. I've wondered how to do it Is that laughing I can hear behind me? I can literally hear the producers laughing through these double glass walls
Starting point is 00:49:31 Because you make a sort of a putty And then put it in there Okay Like you put it in the putty How does it work? Like a putty And then afterwards How do you know so
Starting point is 00:49:41 And that hardens and you fill up the Right, producer Shannon seems to know a lot about this. I don't know if I should say this. There's this really famous OnlyFans creator who's done this and he vlogged the whole journey on TikTok, but not an explicit vlog. Is his name G? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Master. Yeah, yeah, Master. I follow him. And he filmed the whole process of how he did it, not showing it, but like how it works. And yeah, it's like a silicone and then you put... So I'm looking, I'm on a website now and somehow the work Wi-Fi has let me on it.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Wow. You can buy a kit at home, easy to make, and you can buy it in the tones light, medium, purple or hot pink. Okay. And it has everything you need. I've got hot pink. Oh, there's also, you can purple or hot pink. And it has everything you need. Oh, there's also for the ladies. How many does it make?
Starting point is 00:50:30 Just one. There's also glow in the dark, deep brown, black, blue. Is it to be, without being crass, is it to be used afterwards or is it purely for looking at? Once you've moulded your member, there is an insert
Starting point is 00:50:48 that you would put in the centre of the thing which would then bring it to life. It's very important to have structural integrity. Yeah. Of course. Easy to make. Of course. Look at this. But if you, isn't that the best thing about toys? They're different?
Starting point is 00:51:04 What sort of sycophant would you be if the only one you were interested in was your partner's? All shapes and sizes. It sounds like now you've got to have some kind of written something in the relationship agreement. Create your own
Starting point is 00:51:20 personalised everything you need to cast your lovers. This one here is $75 help you recreate every detail of your favourite I was going to say

Starting point is 00:52:13 Quickly, erect the fence. Pools don't need consent. The fence does. Oh, right. No, wait, that's wrong. No, that's not... Can't just dump her. No, wait. No, I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:52:21 When we looked at getting a pool... Just dump the pool in there. Yeah, the guy that came around to look at the fence around our pool said, interesting fact, it's not the pool, it's the fence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I don't get it. Maybe it's a joke they make. Maybe it's a joke they make.
Starting point is 00:52:36 No, it's got to have the fence. That's the thing that I signed off. Anyhow. You know, I don't have a pool. Whatever, I don't care. Thanks for rubbing it in my face. I don't have a pool. I don't have the money for a pool.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I don't have a pool. I don't have a pool. No, we don't have pools. I do. Yeah, we know. And we Thanks for rubbing it in my face. I don't have a pool. I don't have the money for a pool. I don't have a pool. I don't have a pool. No, we don't have pools. I do. Yeah, we know. And we're not allowed to swim in it. Anyway. You had your chance.
Starting point is 00:52:50 You ruined it. You're known to blame it yourself. I didn't wee on the bushes. You're welcome anytime. Thank you. Oh, for God's sake. I've got no car, so I know it's not happening. Always missing out.
Starting point is 00:52:57 It's a safe invite to say welcome anytime because it's not coming. Well, we've mentioned this before, but Lovely Vaughan has been accepting mountains of dirt from Aaron and I. I love dirt. Anything we have, he's like, I'll take it. I'll find a hole for it. I said, do you want some gravel? I'll find something for it. I'll find something for it.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I'll find something for it. I'll find something for it. I'll find something for it. I'll find something for it. I'll find something for it. I don't know exactly what I'm doing with this gravel. I said, do you want some soil? Do you want some fill?
Starting point is 00:53:18 I'll take it. Yeah, I've got a use for it. I said, do you want some bark? I've got a small area of bark. Yeah, I'll find a bloody hole for you. I'll bring it on over. You're running a real tip there, aren't you? Oh my God, it's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:53:27 It's clean fill though. Yeah. It's good fill actually. It's really good fill. So I've been loading up the ute and taking it over to Vaughan's. Aaron did one trip with me, but on the second one,
Starting point is 00:53:36 he had to go and do some, I don't know, stuff. Fill some holes, I think. So the second load of dirt, I dropped off to Vaughan on his own. Now, I know what you're going to say, Vaughan. Chronologically, what you're about to say,
Starting point is 00:53:51 did that happen before or after you were at my house? Before. Okay. No, no, no, no, no. So after. After you left my house. The thing that you're going to say happened before, then I left, and then a moment occurred.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Okay, and the moment you want to talk about. Chronologically, I think I should go first. Okay, go there. So second load of dirt, Hayley pulls in in the ute. She's like, where moment you want to talk about. Chronologically I think I should go first. Okay, go there. So second load of dirt, Hayley pulls in in the ute. She's like we didn't want that one. I was like pretty much the same spot as the last one. And she said you back it up. Because he wants me to drive on his lawn and I feel bad.
Starting point is 00:54:14 I'd rather he ruin his lawn. Great time to drive on the lawn straight out. So Hayley begins to have a natter with Sha, my wife. And I so I back the ute and I turn it on And immediately like I look great in a ute
Starting point is 00:54:28 There's no doubt about that And I start backing And How would I describe this? I hear a noise And I don't know where it's coming from Right And the noise is
Starting point is 00:54:37 Stop it Stop it Stop it And I am like What is that noise? Because this sounds like, am I running over something? Is there? It's a boggy lawn.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Sounds squidgy. Could be a boggy lawn. Has the ute dislodged the tiles that I'm backing over? Stop it with the noise. And I'm like, what the hell? And then the, and I'm like, I'm so confused. Yeah. Then I remember who's you.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Oh man. It's smut. Oh, it's one of your audio books. No, it wasn't an audio book. It was Quinn. You know,
Starting point is 00:55:15 the sort of more. So I am like, what is this? Cause I was just like, Sprouts, press pause on your smut. Cause I can't see how to pause the Bluetooth in the car. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:55:27 pause the smut. And I'm like, it's not driving along. No, it's not. Here's the thing. My phone, listen.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Music is for driving. No, I wasn't listening to it on the drive. I wasn't listening to it on the drive. As I mentioned, Aaron popped out to Bunnings in the morning. Okay. Yep.. As I mentioned, Aaron popped out to Bunnings in the morning. Okay? Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:47 And so I was having a little listen to my phone. Audio book. Okay? My book. I was having a listen to my book. And then when I got in the car and I drove all the way to Vaughan's with Aaron and then back and then to Vaughan's again, it didn't play.
Starting point is 00:56:00 It did not play. It was not playing. It was only when Vaughan turned on the car, my phone just went, you want this again? Yeah. It was not playing. It was only when Vaughn turned on the car, my phone just went, you want this again? Yeah. It just started playing it. I like couldn't stop it. Okay, Alex, just don't do the noise.
Starting point is 00:56:10 It's awful. Please, Vaughn, you're putting me off breakfast. I'm like, what is this? Like, there's no story. Yeah. So I start questioning it. This is when I learned the Quinn thing. You're supposed to play along.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he said, where's the woman's voice? I said, Vaughn, you're the woman. It's a play. It's like Dora the Explorer being like, do you want to go on an adventure? And she pauses. And she leaves a gap for you. You're like, yeah, Dora, let's go.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Or where am I going to find that? You're like, in your backpack. God damn it, Dora. But this is like adult Dora the Explorer. Yeah. This guy's just, So I learned that. Yeah, you did. Anyway, it happened twice in the time
Starting point is 00:56:48 that he started moving the truck again and I was like, oh my God, I can't turn it off. He turned the thing on again and it was like... I opened the door and climbed across. I was like, stop, stop, stop. Anyway, so maybe this set the energy for what occurred afterwards because I left Vaughan's and I pulled out
Starting point is 00:57:01 and you kind of go down this rural bit and you hit these lights at a train track. You've always got to stop a little bit back from the train track. It was taking ages. And I was just like hanging out with my truck. You always go over the train track. No, you don't. There's two sets of lights.
Starting point is 00:57:15 That's wrong. There's two sets. There's one light at the train and there's one like two metres later at the lights. Anyway, so I pull up at these lights and I'm just waiting around and I've got the ute warm day, windows down. No music playing, no nothing playing. I was just enjoying the silence. And then
Starting point is 00:57:31 I look over to the left and I see there's a woman in a ute next to me and she's looking at me in my ute. And I went, okay. Then I looked back and then I thought she's quite attractive. And I looked across to the left and she was 100% having a little looky-poo at Sproul.
Starting point is 00:57:51 You were good, she was checking you out. Yeah, because I'm in a Mazda BT-50, the chosen ute of lesbians. But she didn't recognise you from the Kiwi Bank Off? Or one of your many cancelled TV shows? No, I don't think so. I think she saw a honey in a ute. Hayley didn't look like Hayley. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:58:09 Did you have your big straw hat on? No, I had a cap on. Shut up, shut up. That's a very funny straw hat. Wait, you wear a straw hat? Which is a white brim. What are you like, 60? No, but because I've had laser hair removal in the face,
Starting point is 00:58:22 it must remain in the shade. Right. So I have a white brim hat. She has a straw hat. And I'm covered in dirt. Like I've got laser hair removal on the face, it must remain in the shade. Yeah. So I have a wide brim hair. She has a short hair. And I'm covered in dirt. Like I've got a dirty, sooty face. So you're like undercover. It looks like I've been working my land.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Okay. You know what I mean? And I think she looked over, a honey in a ute, looked over and saw a honey in a ute, and she was checking me out. Honey recognised honey. Yeah, honey recognised honey. Still got it.
Starting point is 00:58:42 So after the second look, I went back, and I gave her a little smile. She gave one back, and then off we went. I was like, that was fun. Honey recognised honey. Yeah, honey recognised honey. Still got it. So after the second look, I went back and I gave her a little smile. She gave one back and then off we went. I was like, that was fun. That was fun. I sort of played the role of lesbian in a ute. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:58:51 With a big straw hat and mud on her face. Sounds really sexy. It was hot. It was hot stuff. Yeah, it really gave me a little ego boost. So if there was a lesbian in a ute
Starting point is 00:59:01 in QMU on Sunday. Access road. Nice to see you. To see you, nice. 16 past eight. Next on the show, we want to talk about what your email sign-off says about you. Because isn't yours chur? Mine's chur, bro.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Keep it casual. Keep it casual. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Well, our podcast friend is making headlines again. That's right. William Hansen is his name. You may remember him. We're actually in a podcast loop.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Yeah, we're podcast friends. We talked about them, then they talked about us, and then we talked about them. Now that we're talking about them, so actually I think they're cooler than us now. Yeah, okay. But he's done a whole piece
Starting point is 00:59:40 on how you sign off your email and what it says about you because he believes that if you abbreviate your email sign off with something casual, it has a total lack of respect for the recipient. And also apparently a study found that if you end emails with your letters,
Starting point is 00:59:57 like abbreviations, like say VS, you were like, you just entered the email, blah, blah, blah, blah, VS. People find that, people don't like that. You come across less sincere and you're less likely to receive responses. So I should say, best wishes, Vaughn Smith. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:14 I always just write cheers. And then my name. I just write cheers and then my name. So, because do you remember there was a social media agency, 98, mostly employed Gen Zers and they went viral on TikTok because they were sharing their email sign-offs which they rotate all the time.
Starting point is 01:00:30 They have about 20 that they rotate. One of them signs off with that's all. Another one does hee hee bye. Another one does alright, alright, alright. I'm doing hee hee bye now. Hee hee bye. Another employee does F you, I'm out. Okay, that's a bit much. I kind of like those does F you, I'm out. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I kind of like those. F you, I'm out. Yeah. Don't cross me. Talk soon, loser. Like they're just like, pasta la pasta. Like there's just, you know, just little joke ones.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I love that. Mine's chur. So 98, the agency out of business now? Yeah, not doing too well. They've offended too many people. Burned. Okay, so. He's categorised them.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Yes. Okay. So what your. Woman-friendly sign-offs like best wishes or kind regards often indicate someone who is approachable and strives for positive, balanced rapport. Kind regards though. Too sticky.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah. Ugh. Sticky. I don't know. Kind regards. Regards? Grateful sign-offs like many thanks suggest somebody thanks suggest that somebody is considerate and empathetic, but can sometimes be misinterpreted as passive aggressive.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Yeah. Many thanks. Yeah, can you do this, please? Just chasing this up. Many thanks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Many thanks. Many thanks.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Whereas if that email ended with hee-hee bye, just chasing this up, see how we're going. Hee-hee bye. Cheeky and cute., see how we're going. Hee hee bye. Cheeky and cute. I love that. Hee hee bye is so good. Formal sign-offs such as sincerely or cordially
Starting point is 01:01:51 are often used by those who prefer structure and boundaries and are common for professional settings or with unfamiliar contacts. He's put regards in there as well. I hate regards. If you were emailing like a formal place,
Starting point is 01:02:03 you were applying for something, what would you I always look forward to hearing from you. He he bye. He he bye. Pasta la pasta. If you are out. Abbreviated sign offs like BW for best wishes or KR kind of regards can indicate
Starting point is 01:02:20 someone's very busy or in a leadership role but they are often seen as disrespectful or rushed. Yeah, like it doesn't take that much time to write. Yeah. He he bye. He he bye. It doesn't take that long. And formal sign-offs like cheers or catch you later
Starting point is 01:02:33 are generally fine amongst colleagues of the same level or friends, but are inappropriate with formal or new contacts. So he wouldn't like my cheer. No. Which is the New Zealand cheers? I'm always a cheers, even for people that I don't know. I might start cheers big ears. Cheers big ears.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Cheers big ears. No, but what if they've always wanted their ears pinned back and you've really... Well, I might have encouraged them to chase their dreams of having pinned back ears and not being called wingnut.
Starting point is 01:02:55 What about see you later alligator? Perfect. That's pretty cool. And then I would reply to in a while crocodile. In a while crocodile. And we're having fun. We're having banter.
Starting point is 01:03:02 See you soon baboon. Yeah, yeah. And I'd be like, but where is that work that I asked you for last week. See you soon, baboon. Yeah, yeah. But where is that work that I asked you for last week? See you soon, baboon. Hee hee bye. Less of these jokes, more of that wookie wookie. Yeah. Now, I mean, obviously, being
Starting point is 01:03:14 a Brit, he has not chucked in the beloved ngamihi. Oh, I love it. Do you know who uses ngamihi the most? White people. Oh, yeah. White people love a ngamihi. They love a ngamihi. Ngamahi the most? White people. Oh, yeah. White people love a Ngamahi. They love a Ngamahi. Ngamahi, everyone.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Now, Ngamahi from Susan in Accounts, she, her. Yes, and Susan is doing her best. Susan is an ally. She does not want to, Susan does not want to be cancelled. She, her, Ngamahi. Ngamahi. Yeah. God, Susan. Susan. Loves. Ngamahi. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:46 God, Susan. Susan. Loves a ngamahi. Yeah. Never has her gender been in doubt, but she's just going to put it there that just doesn't want to rock the boat. She, her. Have a ngamahi and a she, her.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah. Well, there you go. I don't know if that's helped me or not with my email sign-off. You're going to do he, he, bye? He, he, bye. He, he, bye. I think in the workplace I'll do hee-hee-bye? Hee-hee-bye. Hee-hee-bye. I think in the workplace I'll do hee-hee-bye.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Which is also your pronouns. That was good. Not as good as my screw-to-meet-duck joke. Your screw-to-meet-duck joke. That's the joke of the day. Yeah, that's the joke of the show. Feel free to try, Hayley. We're over here making heaps of crack-up jokes.
Starting point is 01:04:23 But straight after we say them, we acknowledge that we made them. It's important to point out the joke. Tell me when to say hee-hee. Bye. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. The stuff that came off it was black. I know. That's toxic mold. I'm going to have to wash that. That's black mold. That's toxic mold.
Starting point is 01:05:05 Gun health, guys. It's gun health. It's fermented goods. Says a guy who has never checked once what the straw is like, but literally takes us everywhere. Yeah. I've got a pump bottle today. Pov-o, eh?
Starting point is 01:05:15 I've lost my drink bottle. Pump. I was going to ask if things were okay. Yeah. Do you need to borrow some money, hon? The factor that I themed this week is the moon. Okay. Yeah, do you need to borrow some money, hon? The fact of the day theme this week is the moon. Okay. Oh my god, it's so
Starting point is 01:05:30 grand at the moment. This morning leaving home, the moon was so bright a shadow was cast from me. Wow. A moon shadow. A moon shadow, wow. A moon shadow. It's a song. Moon shadow. Is that the song? No, it's Moon River. Moon River. Now there's a song about a moon shadow. It's Cat Stevens. Moon Shadow. Is that the song? No, it's Moon River.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Moon River. Now there's a song about a moon shadow. It's Cat Stevens. Well, it's a marvellous dance for a moon night. It's a marvellous... What? It's a marvellous dance for a moon night. It's a marvellous night for a moon dance.
Starting point is 01:05:58 So it's moon themed. Okay. All week. So why... And this is... I'm going to start off with an amazing fact, is that the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon, but it's also 400 times further away,
Starting point is 01:06:11 and that's why the sun and the moon look the same size. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. You know how cosmically rare it is? Cosmic corner. Cosmic corner. Get a bowl. This cosmic fact. No, it's a vase. Isn't that what they sell? It's a vase with This Cosmic Fact. No, it's a vase.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Isn't that what they sell? It's a vase with a bell on it. No, they sell ornaments. Oh, glass ornaments. Glass ornaments. Yeah, right. Things to smoke tobacco with. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:34 That's how I like to... If you're having a little bit of tobacco. That's how I have my tobacco. Filtered through water. Yeah, this Cosmic Fact. Water you, boy. Cosmic Corner. It's not. No, not through water. Yeah, that's cosmic fact. Water you, boy. Cosmic Corner. It's not.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Not a sponsor. It's just wild that we have an eclipse where the two objects are the same size. Yeah. Because anywhere else in the solar system, this wouldn't work. Yeah. There's no other planet with a moon where the sun and the moon look the same size. They either look significantly larger. For example, I'm talking Jupiter's moons.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Yes. I'm talking Saturn's moons. Saturn's moons you can see. They are significantly closer to Saturn size-wise than our moon, and it makes the sun look small. Have you seen those pictures of Saturn's moons and stuff? And they're so close that you can see like the texture of their moons from just standing? Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:29 It's too close. So that's why we can have solar eclipses, total solar eclipses. Because of the perfect distances. Of the heart is because they're the exact, they appear the same size in the sky. Yeah. The sun's 400 times bigger, but it's 400 times further away.. The sun's 400 times bigger, but it's 400 times further away. Is the sun only 400 times bigger?
Starting point is 01:07:53 Yes, in the scheme of things. I would have thought that it was much bigger. We've got a big sun. Well, it's a huge sun. But in the sky, yeah, I'm tripping up on my own maths here. It's so, whoa. I know, it just blows your mind. You've been at Cosmic Corner, mate. It's like I've been at Cosmic Corner.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Some have got themselves a vase at Cosmic Corner and they're just saying the word in a completely different light. No, I'm the same. I just cannot, even when you put numbers to it and distances and relate it to something, I'm like, I can't. I cannot with space. Can't fathom it. I just cannot with the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:08:22 You imagine what it was like sitting down with a pen and paper and just your brains and being like, all right, how are we going to get this rocket to the moon? We've got to work out some angles. Oh, I know. No, thanks. I'm blown. We should just get up there and see.
Starting point is 01:08:32 I reckon we'll go up for a look first. We'll go up for a look, see? Yeah. See how it goes. A recce. We'll do a recce. Then we'll come back. Look forward to more moon facts, including travel to the moon.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Oh, okay. Yep. A fact of the day is moon week. Yeah, staged. Wow, lots travel to the moon. Oh, okay, yep. Fact of the day is moon week. Yeah, staged. Wow, lots of people think so. It was staged because you could tell by the way that the flag was flapping. But today's fact of the day is in an absolute cosmic corner coincidence. The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon,
Starting point is 01:08:59 but also 400 times further away. That makes them appear almost exactly the same size in our sky. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There's an article highlighting the state of New Zealand tuck shops. We called ours a canteen. Ours was tuck shop. Tuck shop, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Or canteen. It's where you get your tucker from. There's one of the schools we were looking at for Indy to go to high school next year. That's right. We're the father of a high school child. I don't want to think about it. It's fine. When we get off here, I'll tell you all the things I did in my first year of high school.
Starting point is 01:09:44 It'll make you feel so much better. Yeah, but you had poor parenting. I'm running a tight shitload over here. No, it was always the parents with strict, the kids with strict parents. No, it was always the kids with busy parents that were the new troubles. Yeah, everybody used to say
Starting point is 01:09:59 too much time to get into trouble. Yeah. I didn't get in trouble, I was just a witch. Anyway, carry on. I'd be fine with witch, it's hot right now. Agatha all along. 3.3% of schools surveyed
Starting point is 01:10:10 only 3.3% met the 75% green food target in their tuck shops. Who's going to the tuck shop for a nana? Or a salad? Oh god no, I'm there for a cookie. I'm going for a lasagna. I'm going for a slice. Something so hot internally that it's going to take
Starting point is 01:10:26 till the end of lunchtime for that thing to be cool enough to eat. When you look back, because do schools sell lollies now? Because it was wild. Yeah, it was wild that you could get all the lollies. We didn't have lollies. I remember they were like giant Jaffas, giant wine gums, like all kinds of lollies. Aniseed wheels?
Starting point is 01:10:43 No. I loved aniseed wheels. You only got aniseed wheels because they were so cheap. And if you had a buck and you wanted to give all your mates a lolly. Shannon's school had the one metre gummy snakes. I mean, we don't need to be eating that in the middle of the day. How much was a one metre gummy snake? Less than $2
Starting point is 01:10:57 and I remember it was the best. And we would get chicken burgers for $3. So for $5. I can't remember a $3 chicken burger right now and this wasn't even that long ago that's cheap no this is like
Starting point is 01:11:08 $25-ish yeah we were talking about the 90s or as we like to think of that the wild west and a chicken burger was literally just two thin pieces of bread
Starting point is 01:11:15 one chicken patty and some mayo but it was so yum lay it on me it's $3 what more do you want also like how often would you just have
Starting point is 01:11:22 your packed school lunch that's getting in the trash, Mum. And then you'd just use your pocket money to buy shit food. I never had money. So I always profited greatly from my mate Callum, who always had his after-school job money, and he'd be like, oh, Dad made us lunch, but I'm going to go get a pie. I'd be like, I'll eat them.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Because Murray Ferguson put far too much butter on those ham and cheese sandwiches. Oh, so you ate his lunch? I ate his lunch and my lunch. Do you think you get a buddy like this on one lunch? White bread too. He's a growing boy. He's a growing boy and he needs his food. But what we want to talk about is your unhealthiest school lunches.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Ours was their big oversized choc chip cookie that came in a bag like an A4 size. Like it was the size of your face. It was the size of your face and it would It was a pizza cookie. And it was thin
Starting point is 01:12:10 and it would be so buttery that the bag would go yum translucent. Yes. Yes. Yum. And then we had cookie times
Starting point is 01:12:18 and chuck them in the micro for 10. Yeah. That's good stuff. Mrs Ardern, Jacinda's mum, she ran the tuck shop at Marysville College.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Oh did she? Did she? Yep, she was such, just the loveliest lady. Because schools must make bank off these. That's hell yeah, man. Looking back on it,
Starting point is 01:12:32 the line was always, the tuck shop had like six queues and the queue bars so you'd get in your queue and it was always jammed. As if none of those kids had packed lunches.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Yes, they did. Yes, they did. Of course they did. So 0800 DALS at M Oh there are some. Yes! Yum yum yum yum yum! If it wasn't weird for two men in their 40s and a woman in what are you? 20s? No, mid 20s.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Late 20s. Late 20s. To hang out at a school, I reckon we could hit a tuck shop today. Oh man, hell yeah. They'll be like, we could say we're substitute teachers. Yeah. No. I reckon we could have a tuck shop today. Oh man, hell yeah. They'll be like, we could say we're substitute teachers. Yeah. No, no, we could just say,
Starting point is 01:13:09 oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to work there. We could be parents looking at the school. You know there are dairies, right? Yeah, but we could get away with just chucking uniform on. Little skirt, pull up socks.
Starting point is 01:13:18 That's how you get arrested. Shirt. Yeah, I'm not uniforming. Oh, 0800 DALS at M is our number. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. What was your unhealthiest school lunch? Maybe even you bought something from home.
Starting point is 01:13:31 God, I remember hooning quite a few fizzy Coke bottles on a lunch break. Yeah. Yum, yum. They're my fave. It was lolols. Weird giant chaffers. If I ever had tuck shop money,
Starting point is 01:13:42 it was about the most I can get for the amount of money. I never went for lollies. I always went for pies and lasagna toppers. Yeah, man. I need to be full. Fill me up. I need to be full off the school dollars. Well, so many texts and calls coming through.
Starting point is 01:13:53 How naughty was your school lunch? Steph, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. I believe you were a lasagna topper, girl. Yeah. Hopper girl? Yeah, we used to have something called a Gmail. And it had, I don't know, the sort of like,
Starting point is 01:14:13 if it was racist connotations or what. The origins of it? Yeah. I never thought of that. I was just imagining this, my old mate called Grant, and he's like, I'm going to call him and name it after myself. It's a Gmail. It's a Gmail. But now that you've said, yeah, whereabouts, what school?
Starting point is 01:14:24 What school? That was Karamu High School in Hawke's Bay. Okay. Right. So what was this, what did this meal consist of? It was a lasagna topper and a fluffy white bun with tomato sauce. And it was four bucks. Fluffy white bun.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Wait till you would insert. Don't leave for a fizzy. Wait, you'd insert the lasagna topper into a bun. It came in the bun. It came in the bun with the tomato sauce. Because that's what a lasagna topper needs, is a bun wrapper. It's already lasagna wrapped in a crumb. It's carbs and a paste in carbs.
Starting point is 01:14:57 And then another case of carbs. Yes, we also had a pie in a bun as well. What was that one called? I can't remember. a pie in a bun as well. What was that one called? I can't remember. Everything was in a bun. That's brilliant. Everything in a bun. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:15:12 Amazing. Steph, thank you. Some messages in. Do you know, if someone walked in here right now with a lasagna topper and a soft fluffy bun, I'd be like 100%. You can put anything in a soft fluffy bun. I'm going to smash that.
Starting point is 01:15:23 I love a little slider bun. Makes anything acceptable. How good would a pie or a lasagna to anything in a soft, fluffy bun. I'm going to smash that. I love a little slider bun. Yum. Makes anything acceptable. How good would a pie or a lasagna topper in a brioche bun be? I've got brioche buns at home. Brioche buns are superior. Oh, yes. Sweet.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Come on now. Only way to make it better. Add sugar, man. Add sugar. Make it sweeter and sweeter and sweeter. Some wild ones. We used to have things called FBs and they were it stood for floaty bits
Starting point is 01:15:46 and it was basically a little packet of the floaty bits from the fish and chip shop when they cleaned out their deep fryer and so it was just basically like little nugs of batter
Starting point is 01:15:56 occasionally you get a chip or like a corner of a fish I love it though when you get that in your bloody chips and we'd have salt and vinegar on them
Starting point is 01:16:01 and it was just floaty bits we'd smash a bag of FBs. Oh my God. And that's something the fish and chip shop would have chucked out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Because it's just a drink. Because it's just drinks and they're making money off it, baby. Every part of the animal. You know what is wild and we've had a few people message in that their school tuck shop just used to sell sachets of Raro.
Starting point is 01:16:23 The intention was you would be making your drink, but no one ever did that. Buy a sachet for a dollar. Now that's good. They're making a good markup on that. And then it'd just be wet fingers. You'd just wet fingers and then all of a sudden your finger would be navel orange. Sweet, sweet navel orange. And then
Starting point is 01:16:39 every now and then you'd see like a community sharing the... Wet fingers. You don't let another one lick, finger in. You don't let another friend put a finger in your navel orange. Only the closest of friends. Only the closest of friends can finger another man's Raro sachet. That's a really nice sentiment to say to someone.
Starting point is 01:16:57 I love you so much. I would let you finger my Raro sachet. More than once. Yeah, double dip, bro. When you're going in, I'm effectively getting your back washed. Somebody said, from Otago Girls, I'd like to say this is just bullshit because we've got pies and soup. And the Otago boys are getting these amazing riblet paninis for $4. Riblet paninis?
Starting point is 01:17:18 God, now I want a riblet panini. I don't want a riblet panini at all. No, it sounds like the McRib. It sounds like the McRib. Which is one of the cold classic burgers. Yeah, this is on steroids though because the panini is longer and bigger. Yeah, it's got more. It's a big McRib, a big flat McRib.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Our tuck shop at primary school used to sell cigarette lollies complete with the red tip on one end. The spaceman sticks. So we'd get a pack of cigs at primary school, he used to sell cigarette lollies complete with the red tip on one end. The spaceman sticks. So we'd get a pack of cigs at primary school and a bottle of Coke and we'd sit there at lunchtime pretending to be our old men having a cigarette break. Mate. Life, eh?
Starting point is 01:17:58 Bloody hell, eh? Tough. They take your training wheels off you one day and you're just expected to cycle on, you know. Jeepers. I like to think just before the end, they'd flick it away. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Yeah, just the end. Done with that. Flick it away. Do you remember when they took the red dot off the end of them? Yeah. That would just make them look nothing like cigarettes now. My same great uncle that I've talked about,
Starting point is 01:18:19 never talked about, but now he's been mentioned twice in the same show, he was a smoker and so he'd pop himself a rollie and he'd start smoking and he always had a pack of those lollies. He'd be like you want to have a smoke with Artie? Oh my god. Alright Artie. Where were your parents? What a great habit to learn. Just down the road.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Just at home. There's so many just wild. It's making me hungry. Oh boom. Someone said sushi. Get out of here. We're not talking about sushi. What's canteen? Get out of here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Someone messaged in saying that their kids school, they can order sushi from Ebisu. And I was like, what? Ooh la la. Fancy, fancy. My boy, my kid's tuck shop sells Vietnamese noodle salad. Get out of here. Yum.
Starting point is 01:18:58 See, I do have Vietnamese. Talking about that? Talking about how unhealthy and the reason for all this health problems and obesity is running riot in this country. Well, shut up, Jamie Oliver. Shivers, guys. 10 out of 10 podcast. That one?
