Chelsea Handler has mentioned something about her trip to New Zealand.

I don't know why she's revealed this. Just shut up. Totally one of those keep your mouth shut situations. It's not something you want to say out loud. Also, we have a celebrity visiting New Zealand at the moment. Huge celebrity. Huge. The biggest that they get.

Yeah. Absolutely exciting. He's going to be based based when he's in New Zealand is the home of a very famous burger ad, which is in the news, and we're going to be covering something about that in the top six. Not crazy. Wild news from Ferg's. Yeah.

But also not Ferg's on a whole spot. Oh, no. No. This would be my worst nightmare running a business is one person working for you is an absolute a-hole. Oh, you have to just come and be like, we fired them. That's not us. Well, they have. We fired them. My worst nightmare running a business is one person working for you is an absolute a-hole. Oh, you have to just come and be like, we'll fire them. That's not us.

Well, they have. We'll fire them. Well, we'll explain this whole story soon. But next on the show, if you are considering whether or not today is a treat day, I've got the exact reason this is 100% a treat day. Oh, thank God. I'm ready. Treat yourself.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Neil deGrasse Tyson? DeGrasse? Yeah. The E doesn't have a... I don't think it's A, the E, yeah. I don't know. I'm lame.

DeGrasse Tyson has issues... He's always... What's his actual title? He's a physicist, right? He's an astrophysicist. Yeah. He's the go-to guy because he's quite entertaining and he can talk to women.

And not many in theicist. Yeah. He's the go-to guy because he's quite entertaining and he can talk to women. And not many in the field can. Yeah. But he's good at putting things into layman's terms. I love watching his stuff. So the asteroid that has now been named 2024 YR4, which is described to size as a city killer, has a 1 in 50 chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. 1 in 50 ain't great.

I don't think that's great. We want to hear 150 million. The asteroid, so 100 metres across. Yeah. So that's what it takes to be a city killer because it's travelling so fast. How many do you say? 100 metres.

Or 100 kilometres. 100 metres. 100 metres is a big smack. If you hit that in the middle of a bloody CBD. That's like a big bomb. Or even a rural area, a regional area, sorry. Like a hell of a lake. Yeah. If it was by a river and then Even a rural area, a regional area, sorry. Make a hell of a lake. Yeah. If it was by a river and

then the river filled it up. Could be quite nice. I do like a lake. Some areas could do with a lake. And imagine if your house was kind of Irish by and all of a sudden you've got lakeside property. Lakeside prop. And I didn't pay lakeside prop prices. No, you didn't. You paid middle of nowhere prices. Oh my god. It will create a rumble though and I'm worried about the

cracks in my foundation of that foundation. Once the rebuild happens, asteroid insurance, you'll be ready to go. So it's got a 2.3% chance of striking on December 22nd, 2032, which blows my mind right before Christmas.

Not right before Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas. You know how your mum's always like, we've just got to get through Christmas. Yeah. I'm sorry mum, but there's a chance. Wait, so when,

how many years? Or how long? 2032. Okay. It's so wild, they can be like,, but there's a chance. Wait, so when, how many years? Or how long? 2032. Okay. It's so wild they can be like, this thing's got a chance of hitting Earth on this exact date. Like, that's the science, isn't it? It's so clever, isn't it?

It could be knocked off. There's lots of things that could come into play before that. Yeah, like it could hit an asteroid, right? And then either... Don't we have a laser? That definitely hit Earth. By 2032, I reckon we'll have a laser. We'll have a laser and shoot it into bits.

Little small, more digestible. A sort of series of mini lakes around the country as opposed to one big lake. I don't know if the world could work together to do this. It might be what we need. This asteroid could be the clip around the air that this planet needs. Yeah, but I mean, the global pandemic wasn't.

Yeah, you put your differences aside, everyone. We're about to get hit by a massive asteroid. You're saying people are going to say the asteroid's not real. Yeah, I'm saying that, yes. There'll be people camping out in Parliament being like, no, the asteroid's not real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is just a cover so the paedophiles can drink the children's blood.

Yeah, that's right. And Tom Hanks is one of them. Yeah, under the pizza joint. Yeah, God. Yeah. So what? 500 Hiroshima bombs. What?

That's what it will release the equivalent power of. Who's dealing with this? Do you know what I mean? Well, it's not the Trump administration who have, since they've been elected, have drastically cut funding for scientific research. Okay. Okay, but they have brought back plastic straws,

and thank God, because the paper ones. So is it better if it hits, say it hits the middle of Australia, in the middle of nowhere or a desert, is it better to hit there or if it hits in the ocean, then you've got tsunamis, right? Then we've got big waves, yeah. We need to find, yeah, big dry like where no one lives.

Yeah. Yeah, middle of Australia. I didn't see anything about tsunami in this article. Can they? Nah, there's no word. Word search tsunami doesn't pop up, so maybe middle of the ocean could be our best bet. But if it could destroy us, it is going to create a bit of a problem.

Bit of a wave. Good for the surfers on that day. So we've got eight years. What are we going to do? You know, for the next eight years. Just, I guess, live life. Should we live life, love's ending in eight years. Should we live life, love and laugh?

I think we could. We could live while laughing and loving. And that would be the best way to live. I reckon we just try to keep laughing. Yeah, have that block of chocolate. Don't go to the gym. Yeah, imagine today you're like, don't have that chocolate. You know, you're trying to actually, what's the point? In eight years, a city-killing

asteroid is going to hit me. I want to look hot, though. Same. I want to die hot, too. Open coffin, people come along and they're like, God damn, she really got it together in those last years. Wait a minute. How is there a funeral if you're dead but no one else is dead?

I don't know. I was travelling. You were travelling? Yeah. But there wouldn't be anything left of your body if you were travelling and got hit by a bomb. Yeah, but what they've pieced together, they're like, abs? They're like, whoa. You were travelling. Yeah. But there wouldn't be anything left of your body if you were travelling and got hip-hopped. Yeah, but what they've pieced together, they're like, abs?

They're like, whoa! Abs? Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm finding one, two, three, four, five, six abs. In fact, could you just put my head on the hottest decapitated body they find? Yeah, actually, same. I'll just take whoever.

Whoever's most put together. Yeah, they manage to find a hot body with no head, just blot mine on. They'll be like, but this is a black man's body. I'll be like, put it on. From the afterlife. Put it on, they work up to town. That's my last will and testament.

I'll never know. That turned dark and grim, didn't it? We love when sea lebs come to New Zealand. We're proud of our country. Mountains and streams. Isn't it streams? Proud of our country. Mountains and streams.

I am, I be. But I'm also proud of our seas. I'm more proud of the streams, mountains and streams. Oh, yeah, might be. Yeah. But I'm also proud of our seas. I'm more proud of the streams, I'll say. Yeah. And so when a sea lab comes, we're like, oh, yeah, you're going to love this place, mate. Oh, you're going to love it here. Oh, my God, you're going to love it. You're really going to fall in love with the place.

And a lot of them do. A lot of them. Like Elijah Wood loves this place. Ed Sheeran loves this place. Jason Momoa loves this place. Did you see him? He went public. He went public with his...

Yeah, I wasn't going to mention it But now that you have him I'm sorry It's such a thin route Do you know what I mean? Like okay Oh you're saying he's faking Well I'm just like You know what I mean

Yeah Yeah It's you and her He had a choice Between her and me And well You know I think it was a tough one

Yeah She's so beautiful Anyway Brad Pitt's in New Zealand Brad Pitt Huge actor He's in New Zealand. Brad Pitt. Huge actor. He's in New Zealand.

He's arrived in Queenstown. Oh, no, he flew into Auckland and then he is about to head to Queenstown and Milford Sound to film a movie where Queenstown will be Alaska. Oh, okay. Also, though, summer. Why not just... It's summer. Oh, yeah. I mean, what do I think of Alaska?

I suppose Alaska has summer. Alaska has summer. That's when they do the gold mining on the gold mining TV shows. So it's a movie called Heart of the Beast. He plays a former Navy SEAL. It's about him and his retired combat dog attempting to return to civilization after suffering an accident deep in the wilderness. And it's all going to be down south.

And wait, are there bad people he's running from and he has to like... Yeah, I was like, what, are you just going to be rattling around with your dog? Like with a dog walking in the bush? Yeah, where's the drama, where's the action? Yeah, someone's out to kill him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he's retired Navy SEAL and he's like, no, I'm done, I don't fight anymore. And then someone, yeah.

But is that the accident that leaves him stranded and then it's a bit of a mile I notice, find their way home sort of situation? Well, we don't really have the details. It's his production company, Plan B. Also a form of emergency birth control in the States, Plan B. He's had this company for a long time. I'm trying to see if I can get it. Because I remember we talked ages ago about that amazing book about the Bolivian prison.

He bought the rights for that. He's never made that movie. Oh, Marching Powder. Yeah. He's never made that. Also in this film is, did I just see Olivia Colman? Is she coming back? Because she's been in New Zealand before and loved it.

What is she going to do? Is she going to be as? Oh, no, I'm creating rumours. Just making things up. I was just trying to find a better storyline so we could find out what happens with this man and his dog. Yeah. It's just an original

script that's been written and his company's producing it. What's he going to get up to? In a beautiful New Zealand. Did you watch the movie he did with George Clooney? The one that he just recently did with George Clooney? Wolfs. I heard it wasn't...

It was cool. It was okay. It wasn't like, you know, it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen. Well, let's not roast him. He's probably listening right now. Yeah, he might be. Oh my God, good morning, Brady.

Do you think he'll do that shark thing? I loved Bullet Train. I liked Bullet Train. What shark thing? Oh my God, the might be. Oh my God, good morning, Braddy. Do you think he'll do that shark thing? I loved Bullet Train. I liked Bullet Train. What shark thing? Oh my God, the shark boat. The shark boat. Do you think he'll do the shark boat? He's older now.

I reckon that's a necker. It looks hard on your neck, doesn't it? It looks hard on the neck, the shark boat. When it jumps out of the thing. He's not a spring chicken anymore, our Braddy. No, hard on the neck. Brad, if you are listening, I'd just just take that one carefully. It looks jarring.

It looks jarring. It looks jarring. You're fit, but you know what I mean? You are older than you were before, so be careful in the shark boat. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. A customer. Oh, hit it. From the unmodulated comment section, this is the top six.

All right, so Ferg Burger, a very famous burger outlet, and an employee has, one single employee has dragged them into an online Ferrero Rocher. A customer from Taiwan ordered from the restaurant, and pictures had shown that the server had written, I can't say it. Nah, don't say it. It's in this news article on the docket. It was a derogatory racial term. Description for an Asian person.

Yeah. The customer then contacted the tour guide that was showing them around, saying, check this out, is that all right? And they were like, whoa. You've seen this before. Lots of food places will use a descriptive way to describe their customer.

Yes. Like tall beard or something like that. For you it's like that hot chick in the black sack. Hot chick, beguiling eyes. And I'll be like, that's probably my burger. And then when you get your receipt sometimes, depending on the place

you see the way that they've described you. So that's what's happened, right? They weren't meant to see that. And not like a description that would identify one specific person. Yeah. Just a racist term. Just a very racist term. Of course, this was online.

And they have fired the person. Yes. Yeah, rightly so. Yes. Well, before the comments were turned off, some white people were saying we experience racism too. Not giving solid examples, just saying we experience it. Not that this news article ever denied it.

Who was it? Was it Judith Collins who said I'm a woman of colour? The colour is white? Was it Judith? Yeah, it was Judith. Oh my God, that's right up there with my husband. Yeah, yeah, I'm a woman of colour. Talofa.

What colour? White. White. What are the top six racist things that people have said to me a well-off white male? Hey, be brave. We've got your back. Thank you for sharing.

Number six on the list. One time a woman said to her child, go and ask that nice white man, don't assume I'm nice. Wow. Actually, yeah. You don't know me. You're a prick.

Not all white guys are nice guys. Yeah, that's right. Don't assume I'm nice. You've actually stereotyped me. Yeah. I know me. You're a prick. Not all white guys are nice guys. Yeah, that's right. Don't assume I'm nice. You've actually stereotyped me. Yeah. I'm not here to be your stereotype. I'm so sorry that someone stereotyped you like that. Number five on the list of the top six times

that people have said things to me that, let's face it, were straight up racism. Okay. You look like my friend Tim. What? We all look the same to you? Or white guys with hats and glasses and beards and bald heads and black t-shirts, they all look the same to you? Or white guys with hats and glasses and beards and bald heads and black T-shirts, they all look the same to you?

Is that sort of what you're saying? That's racist. That's racist. We don't all look the same. Yeah. That must have hurt. It did hurt. Yeah.

I still remember it. Number four on the list of the top six racist things that people have said to I, Vaughan Smith, well-off white guy. I love your freckles. Oh, so my skin's a joke to you now? Oh yeah Some kind of animal in a zoo? Yeah yeah yeah

Oh you like them? You want to touch them? Yeah What do you mean? They stand out more because my skin's white? How dare you? Wow Number three on the list

of the top six racist things that people have said to I, Vaughan Smith White guy You've got lovely hazel eyes Oh my eyes are a certain colour, are they? My eyes are hazel? Yeah. Not everybody gets those?

Yeah. I'm a minority, am I? Because I've got hazel eyes. I'm not quite green. That's 2%. I'm down there, though. White people experience racism. It's pretty tough.

It's awful. You're not some freak in a zoo. I'm not. To be looked at. Of the top six racist things that people have said to I, Vaughn Smith. White man. Can I touch your hair? And I say, I'm bald, but yes, rub my head. I like it.

It's something I'm into. Give me a little rub. I'm your lucky little genie. Yeah. And then I go like that and it creeps them out so they leave. But that was racist. It was really racist. And number one on the list of the top six things that people have said to me, Vaughan Smith, white guy.

Let's face it, it's just straight up racism. Racism. You're white. You must love Chapel Run. How dare you? But you do. I do. Yeah, you do.

Actually, more than anyone I know. More than anyone. Yeah. More than anyone. You're really doing it tough, aren't you? Not all white people like Chapel Rowan. I mean, we are all white and we all like her. Yes, I know.

And that's, you know, a litmus test of 100%. You can't assume these days. No. Yeah. The assumption that that's the act of evil, I have been doing it tough. Well, if you, I mean, we jest, but if you see a boomer in your life posting things like this on Facebook comments, take their Facebook option. Take action. We should all know our parents' Facebook account

passwords and we should put them in a probation period where you go in, you change their password and you won't change it back. Because they don't know how two-factor authentication works, that freaks them out. Even though they should all be using it. They should all be using three or four-factor authentication. That is today's Top 6.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley we actually spoke to her didn't we Chelsea Handler we did gave her an interview she was touring around

Australia and New Zealand I think she's a very funny woman she's very well straightforward very cut to the chase yeah very funny

but she was talking on a podcast about the fact that she had been travelling around and she made somewhat of a criminal admission. And this year I was travelling to New Zealand and Australia. They're very strict about customs, what you're bringing in. There's a whole list of things to check off. And my cousin goes to check off meats. And I go, what are you doing what what are you doing and she's like i have a beef jerky in my backpack rip that up and throw that i have

edibles mushrooms and a sheet of acid on me and you're declaring a chomps beef stick are you kidding me right get the away from me covered in orange juice urine and have so many drugs on me and you're sitting here talking about beef jerky. I mean, shout out to the sister for declaring the beef jerky. We're very... It's how we do it here. We take our biosecurity very seriously. But basically, she's admitting that she had quite a lot of illegal substances on her.

Isn't Jess though, right? She's just joking, right? Surely she's joking that she had quite a lot of illegal substances on her. Isn't Jess though, right? She's just joking, right? Surely she's joking. Surely she is. The dogs would pick that up. But there's not always dogs. No, the dogs are for food. No, that'd smell a tab of acid up your bum, wouldn't it?

I reckon. Surely. I don't know. No, but they have the dogs for money as well. Yeah, the cash dogs. Wait, are the ones that sniff out the apples the same as the money dog? No, they're two different dogs. Two different dogs.

But they're both beagles. Not every time, but the beagles are popular. They're so cute. They're so cute. And I think that's the threat, right? You don't know what dog's out sniffing, so don't roll the dice on it. Oh, yeah, so you've got drugs up your bum, and then you're getting nervous but he's sniffing

for apples. Yeah, but you don't know that because we're in the same vest. You could have apples up your bum and he's sniffing

for drugs. They have to be tiny apples. Oh, little crab apples. Yeah, that grow on an old tree out the back

of an old flat. Like I've got at my house. It's just like, you don't eat them. What are they? You don't eat them. Are they an ornamental

apple? Yeah, ornamental and they fall on the ground. They're for the birds. Well, whenever Chelsea Handler comes back, she's getting her own line. She's doing a strong cough, for sure.

She's getting the latex gloves, and she's getting pulled aside. Even if she's talking in jest, right, and she's joking about the fact that she had drugs on her, because surely Chelsea Handler, if she's doing drugs, she'll just find them where she goes. Right, you're not travelling with them. You'd think so. Wild. Surely she's joking about it.

But even still, like you say, if she was joking, next time she's getting a search. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po. It is so silly, Well, hello there. Hi.

Silly little poll, would you buy a mattress from a stranger? Now, I have. Me too. But now I wouldn't because of a change of circumstance. But at the time, that was what I could afford. Yeah, totally. Yeah, my first bed was my, like, parents' ex-bed. Hot.

Yuck. Were you conceived in that bed? How long have they had it? No, no, no. God, no. Not from the 80s. No, she was conceived in a waterbed. Yeah. Were you conceived in that bed? How long have they had it? No, no, no. God, no. Not from the 80s. No, she was conceived in a waterbed. Yeah. We're gorgeous. Yeah. That's why you're so

fluid. Maybe my brother used to share years later. Weird. Wild. Yeah. That's one thing. I never shared a bed with my siblings. Oh, we didn't have to. We just chose to. Why they don't love getting a bit older now, but they used to love sharing a bed. Yeah, we loved it.

I think I only bought my first bed We just love to. We just chose to. Why they don't love they're getting a bit older now but they used to love like sharing a bed. Yeah, we loved it. But all my, I think I only bought my first bed, like first, first hand bed after I moved to Auckland. We just call them new. We just call them new. We don't call them first hand.

First hand bed. Yeah. Within the last seven years. All the rest of them were second hand. Wow. Crazy, yeah. Yeah.

And now, yeah. Yeah. I've got a fresh bed. But is it like, oh yeah. It's just that moment where you Yeah. I've got fresh beard. But is it like, oh, yeah. It's just that moment where you see the people you're buying it off and you're like, okay. Yeah. It's my first double. Now I'm sleeping on it.

Was it a double? I don't think it was a queen. A double in my second year of studying was off a person in my hometown, well-known. Well-frequented house. A well-frequented house a well frequented house yeah and it had a what she told me

was a big coffee stain on it whoopsie daisy that's not coffee that's not coffee that's not coffee heaven forbid god knows what it is

we don't think twice about sleeping in a hotel no and there could have been like a thousand other people on that bed before you though it is awful you know how hotels

always use flat sheets rather than... Yes, fitted sheets. If you rustle around too much and then it pulls back and you see the mattress, you're like, I don't need to see you. I don't need to. You don't exist.

I'm going to hide you. Are they patterned like bus seats? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. Sort of embroidered. Well, the poll results, 83% of people turned their nose up and said, ooh, no.

Oh, really? You wouldn't buy a used mattress from a stranger. This is why we see so many mattresses dumped on the side of the road. Yeah. We did mention yesterday, though, like when you used to buy a bed, it was a huge investment to buy a mattress. Huge investment. All the springs and stuff.

But now you get those mattresses in a box. Yeah, they're a lot cheaper. On your doorstep, they're a lot more affordable. Yeah, yeah. Well, 83% said no, so that only means 17% of people said yes. Happy to sleep in a stranger's matty. Let's hear from the people. Victoria said once had a friend

who got into a new relationship and she demanded that her new boyfriend get rid of his mattress because she wanted to be the only woman that'd sleep with him on it. I don't know if she truly understood how much mattresses cost. Also, that's crazy to say that.

Yeah, so if you're just having casuals with someone where you have a fresh... This mattress has changedainted with another woman. I want to be the only one to stain this mattress. You shouldn't be staining mattresses these days. Everyone should have a mattress protector. Oh, yeah, have a mattress, yeah. Have a mattress protector.

Get them real cheap. Julie said got scabies once. Don't want them again. Oh, from someone's mattress. Getting scabies out of a mattress is apparently really hard. I'd give it a thorough black flagging. I'd give it a thorough set it on fire. Yeah.

Hotel mattresses give me the heebie-jeebies, says Matt. The thought of buying a used one cannot compute. Yeah. That would be a weird, like a weird, a horrible reaction to have to a hotel mattress to not be able to stop thinking about all the other people that have been on it

and what they've done on it. And it's dirty under there because then that would affect your sleep. Yeah. Also, hotels often sell their beds when they upgrade them. How long do they use them for? I don't know. You often see it. You know what?

This sounds like it could be a great episode of the Economics of Everyday Things, that podcast I love. I'm going to email the creator. Could actually be a great fact of the day week. Hotels. Do you know the first thing? That's actually a really good call. The first thing that came up, Scattergoogles,

when I was Googling how long do hotels keep, it's not mattresses, it's security footage. What are people doing in hotels? What are they doing? Affairs and not mattresses, it's security footage. What are people doing in hotels? Oh, he's saying. Affairs and such. Yes, it would be. Yeah, someone's come back with a guilty conscience over the weekend. Quit Google.

Not just one person. Unless, Fletch, that's a hyperlink you've already clipped on. Is it purple? This is what Google says. An AI overview. Hotels typically replace their mattresses every three to five years with some higher-end hotels, replace their mattresses every three to five years with some higher end hotels potentially as frequently as

every three years. That's so expensive. Wow. Yeah. That's so expensive. Mattresses last longer than that. Zach said, yes, I bought one for the spare room and only if there are no blood or unknown brown stains on them and even then that's the spare room person's problem not my problem. Oh yeah, fair.

If I had to, said Sammy, I'd just bissel the shit out of it before I slept on it. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Get a bis. Oh, that would maybe even put you off even more, seeing what comes out of it. Yeah. When I was at uni, yeah, but as an adult now with a wage, no, says Chloe. Yeah, it is all circumstantial, isn't it? Yeah.

At uni, we would have slept on anything. Well, Sarah still is. I'm still using my $30. And anyone. On, in, around. In, around, anything. Well, Sarah still is. I'm still using my $30. And anyone. On, in, around, on, near. Standing up. Sarah said, I'm still using the $30 bed I got from Otago Flatting Goods in 2015. It's the comfiest bed I've ever slept in.

That's 10 years. I think it could be. That must be a good bed. Must be a good bed, but 10 years already secondhand from Otago uni days. I think maybe it's time to treat yourself, huh? Keep anonymous, please. But yes, I did buy one off Marketplace a couple of weeks ago. Bad move.

It looked great in the photos, but once I got it, it was covered in stains and weird miscellaneous hair. I'll never do it again. You see, I don't think you can thistle that out. Yeah, it's giving me chills. Courtney says, mattresses, undies and shoes are see, I don't think you can thistle that out. Yeah, it's giving me chills. Courtney says, mattresses, undies and shoes

are the things you don't buy secondhand unless you like sharing dead skin with people. Shoes? I've bought secondhand shoes. Brand new is Brad! Brady, what's up? Oh, he'd have a secondhand, dude. My bed is about 30 years old at this point,

which is older than me. Hates spending money, eh? He hates spending money. He hates spending money. I got it in second year of university when a friend's family sold their batch and sent down a bunch of furniture for the flat. Should probably get a new one. But I don't know how much beds cost.

Well, they range from $1,000 to $20,000. Brad's not spending $20,000 on a bed. But you spend a third of your life in bed. Fletch is like this, my friend Callum's like this, and I feel Brad is like this. If you're interested in buying something, you start planting the seeds to your friends,

and then you always have a friend that loves doing research on this sort of stuff. Yeah. And then they get carried away, and then you ask them a couple of weeks later and they've got an answer for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Brad would definitely be one of those guys.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you've got him going on bed research, he'd have the best deal for you in no time. That is Silly Little Pole. This morning we want to know, what did you learn about a partner after you moved in with them? You know, when you don't live with people,

they kind of get to hide a lot of their... Yeah, quirks. ...discrepancies, their quirks. This is a Reddit thread that I was reading yesterday and enjoying very much. A lot of people jumping on and saying, I didn't realise this about my partner. Until it was too late and we'd signed a lease. And you're stuck with them for at least 12 months. Yep.

I had no idea that my partner was so obsessed with eating dry tortellini straight out of the bag when he was reading in bed. What's a tortellini? A pasta shake? Yeah, dry pasta eating dry tortellini straight out of the bag when he was reading in bed. What's a tortellini? A pasta shape? Yeah, dry pasta. Specifically tortellini? Not those. It wasn't what Aaron was eating. You're Aaron.

What was he eating? The pasta. The ravioli. Raw. He was eating that raw. But tortellini looks like that as well. Has it got something in it? Is that tortellini is a type of stuffed pasta

typical of the Italian cities of Bologna and Modena. I imagine like a crunchy version of this. This is Aaron. It's stuffed with a mix of meat, Parmesan cheese, egg, and nutmeg. Yum. Yeah, yum. Yum, and it's served in a broth. It's like a wonton noodle soup.

Yeah, good stuff. We were sitting down to watch him, but this is another person. We were sitting down to watch a movie. He wanted popcorn. He said, too bad we don't have any lettuce. And she was like, what, are you going to have a salad as well? He said, no, I love eating popcorn with lettuce. Like putting in crunch.

You know how people add in chocolate or Maltesers. You've just signed the lease. You can't get rid of this guy. Yeah, totally. Exactly. My girlfriend eats Oreos by taking a tall glass and filling it about three quarters full of the cookies. Then she fills the glass with milk.

She then waits about five to ten minutes, stirs it into a slurry and eats it like a soup. Wait, hang on. Withholding judgment. Could that be yum? Could that be yum? Hang on. So we're getting a tall glass, like a tumbler.

Yeah. We're stacking it three quarters with stacked Oreos. And then pouring the rest of the milk. Sitting. Stirring into a slurry. I think it would be better to put the Oreos in a... But then she's serving on dishes because she's not using a Nutribullet. Is she getting a long spoon?

She's got one of those dessert spoons? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got a long spoon on her hands. She's got a long spoon. Okay. I didn't realise that while cooking, my partner insists on opening the goddamn oven multiple times to check if it's ready.

Makes me homicidal. Well, that's not going to work for some cakes, is it? You'll ruin the cakes. You'll get a dropped guts pav, won't you? Oh, yeah, you will. I didn't realise that my partner didn't separate his cutlery, just shoves it in there, knives, forks and spoons all in a mess.

Oh, no. No, no, no. No, no. We don't know these things. And there's also, it's not just that, there's a and spoons all in a mess. Oh, no. No, no, no. No, no. We don't know these things. And there's also, it's not just that. There's a correct order for them as well. What does mine go? Forks, knives, spoons.

I think mine goes knives because it's the longer one. Okay, forgiven. Yeah, mine's knives, forks, spoons. Forgiven but not forgotten. Yeah. There's so many people, sleep categories. I didn't realise that he slept with his eyes open. I didn't realise how much they talk in their sleep.

Wait, surely you've slept overnight with them before you've moved in. I know. Bathroom habits, you know, because when you're sort of in each other's houses, you can kind of hide those things a bit more than when you're just living together. I mean, at that point, it's too late. I love these. I love all of these. Somebody's already messaged, and I had to learn everything about my partner. I mean, at that point, it's too late. I love these. I love all of these. Somebody's already messaged,

and I had to learn everything about my partner. I didn't know anything about them. We were friends with benefits. I got knocked up. So moved in together. We've been together 19 years, and our little person just turned 18. Oh, okay.

That makes me really happy. That's rad. Amazing. But you're just like, hey. I hope this works. Hi. Okay, we should probably get a home. We should try this. Yes. Hopefully, I'll end up liking you. Hi. Okay, we should probably get a home. We should try this.

Hopefully I'll end up liking you. Yeah. Okay. What are you into as a man? Okay, this is what we want to know this morning. 0800 DARS at M, text 9696. What did you learn about your partner after you moved in? Maybe they're not your partner anymore as a result.

Maybe it just ended up with you guys moving out. Yeah, you're like this isn't going to work. Or maybe it's just something you're still putting up with to this day. Yeah. 0800-9666 What did you learn about your partner when they moved in? People online are sharing the things they learned about their partner after they

moved in together. New things like, oh, living with you involves this. Oh, right. How long's this for? Rachel, what did you learn about your partner after moving in? That he, every time he goes to have a number two,

he has to be completely naked. Why? Why? Why? No way. I don't understand at all. What? Why? Why? No, why? I don't understand at all. What? I couldn't even tell you why either.

I believe it might be a comfort thing. You know, you've got to be comfortable while you're doing your business. Rachel, let me put a bizarre situation to you. You're going out for a concert. You go out for dinner. You get to the venue. Say for example the lovely Spark Arena. The main act is maybe

half an hour from coming on stage and your partner is like, oh no, that dinner. I need to go number twos at Spark Arena. He just starts taking off his clothes. No, it wouldn't happen because he's a creature of comfort when he's not in his comfort zone. it wouldn't happen because he's a creature of comfort.

When he's not in his comfort zone, he wouldn't even like pooping away from home. It just closes up. See, you eat too much yoga. Sometimes there's an emergency. Sledge can shit in 30 seconds. Okay, I've been to concerts, Vaughn. People do number twos at concerts. It's wild.

Not our boy, not our boy. Would he have to take off all of his clothes if he was in a public toilet? No, not in a public toilet. But if we go to a family member's house or someone else's house, he will still get fully nude. So he could be in bloody Aunty Barbara's toilet or Nana's toilet. So he goes pants right off down to the ankles and shirt off. Yeah, but the little locks.

Not even necessarily down to the ankles. We're talking completely off. So shoes are coming off. Wait, what if somebody busts in and the lock's not working? This is wild. What would you do? That's how I found out. I didn't realise he was in the bathroom one day and I walked in.

I was like, what the heck is going on? You're like, hey, buddy. What? You've got no clothes on. Oh, my God. That's too good, Rachel. That is too good. What a keeper, honestly.

I love this. I kind of like this about him. Yeah, well, we've been together 11 years now, so obviously it didn't put me off that much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing. Rachel, incredible. Thank you.

We want to know what you've learned about your partner after you moved in. My ex used to wash her face for 45 minutes before bed. That's just too long to be washing your face. You're going to have no face left. You're going to peel off the natural chemicals on your face. What are you doing? My wife leaves the caps

off everything. Toothpaste. Toothpaste. Pore cream. The milk? Anything in the cap should leave the cap off. Really? Still love her though. Really? Despite that? Yeah. That'll wear thin I reckon.

I reckon. You know when you pick something up and the cap's just like half on or the lid's half on and you pick it up and the cap's just like half on or the lid's half on you pick it up and it sloshes everywhere like one day you'll just

you'll snap yeah what do you think is the behind that the psychology behind that I don't know we could really take some time to break it down

we could take some time in let's get my therapist on the phone okay just I'll touch base with her but then we could ask her what's the psychology behind this so you want 45 minutes and then we'll use 15 minutes of the show for that.

And then work can pay. Yeah, perfect. That's what I'm talking about. He'd get wasted and wet the bed. Didn't take long for me to move out. How about those guys that get so drunk they wear the bed? Yeah. Like regularly.

It doesn't happen once. Because if you did that once, you'd be like, I've really got to check myself. Yeah, I'm not doing that again. Yeah, you're going, something's happened here. Yeah. But imagine every weekend I would just be like, get your own bed. Yeah. I realise how much his mother did for him when I moved in with him.

Oh, yeah, that. Not hot. No, it's not. I learned about my partner all his days worth of farts only come out of his stink wrinkle. That's her words, not mine. That's her words, not mine. Once? That's her words, not mine. His stink wrinkle. Once he lies down

for the day and relaxes and they're loud enough to shake the walls. Stink wrinkle. So he holds on to his farts, clenches the stink wrinkle all day.

Yeah. Stink wrinkle. I've never heard that before. I've never heard that either. That's brilliant. Is that our text of the week? Absolutely. Stink wrinkle.

Stink wrinkle gets text of the week. I think so. $50 Animates voucher going up to stink wrinkle. Is Animates going to be happy about this? Thanks to Animates making happy happen to pets. No, because animals fart too. Yeah, they do. Right out their stink wrinkle.

We've all got a stink wrinkle. Their stink wrinkle is more on display than our stink wrinkle. I don't know if this... I don't know. I actually would need to check whether or not the fish in store at Animates would have stink wrinkles. We can maybe get our Animates correspondent on the phone

to let us know what a fish has. We might have to call Animates. I feel like a stink wrinkle wouldn't be watertight. No, it wouldn't. It would let too much water into the stink wrinkle. It's more of a stink seal.

Yeah, it is. Goodness me. It's going to take some time. I can't believe we gave stink wrinkle text of the week. I just felt it. I felt we needed to. Do you know what?

No, my soul can, I'm absolutely on board. You're on board with it? Yeah. Okay, good. My partner leaves the pantry doors open every time he goes in to get something. Four years later, I'm still shutting doors for him and reminding him every time that he needs to shut the doors. Yeah.

We should get one of those arms, you know, that always shuts doors? Yeah. Pneumatic arm thing. Arm. I found out after moving in with my then partner, who was a male, he sat down to pee every time. He was six foot four and it looked very odd. It looked very odd.

Someone messaged him saying, if you're shitting at a concert, I think you're on drugs. There's no other reason. There's just no other reason to be pooping. It's wild when you go to a concert. Someone's actually pooping. I've definitely pooped at concerts. And not from, just from, I don't know, actually pooping. Someone's in there. I've definitely pooped at concerts. Oh, it's...

And not from... Just from, I don't know, maybe jumping around. Unless you get there as the doors open and they've had a fresh spruce. Yeah, yeah. I'm not doing anything. And naked pooping is real. My ex did this and so does my friend's son. We've talked about it.

It's a thing that many people do. I went to my girlfriend's house, met her family, found out I went to high school with her older brother and we were in the same year. Uh-oh. I found out that he would jump out of bed after doing the deed and shower every time. No, you do this.

So I've Googled naked pooping. Did you jump out of bed after doing the deed and shower? Yeah. You always shower after you have a shag. Yeah. I'm not lying there in that sinful film. Oh, why do I keep getting UTIs up here? Oh, bloody cranberry juice.

So naked pooping, I've Googled, is considered a relatively common practice among some individuals, primarily due to the feeling of comfort and freedom associated with being undressed while using the toilet, particularly in the privacy of one's own home. How uncomfortable is your T-shirt? Sometimes if I'm sitting down, I'll kick off my pants. And just be sitting there like Winnie the Pooh in it.

Well, that's another thing it says, is that people find it natural to do that without clothes on, similar to how animals would do it in the wild. Yeah, but there's nothing natural about sitting on a white porcelain that soon you're going to push one button and it's going to make all of your problems disappear. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. Yeah. Okay. Oh, God, now I've just got an image of Vaughn on the loo, and I know how long it takes to take a poop. Yeah. Just with you, you've kicked off your pants and you're Winnie the Pooh-ing.

I don't like it. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Yesterday I went to Hamilton because I could get an appointment in Hamilton earlier than I could in Auckland. And it just made sense to drive down. For your knee tingles. My knee tingles.

I had to go get electric currents shoved into my nerves. It felt yuck. And my foot was going like... It was yuck. I was sweating. It was not... Anyway. I hate when you get a little like...

Nerv time. Or a jolt. Is it like when you're going to sleep and you're like, ugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like that, but you weren't in control of it. And it was a big tingly thing. Anyway, it was fine. So I, like, drove down to Hamilton.

Were there any, no news? Nah, they, yeah, ongoing still. Yeah. With, yeah, who knows? Anyway, something weird happened there. I think if you were a cat, we'd probably have to put you down. Do you know what I mean? We'd sort of, like, no answers.

We'd sort of exhausted you. Yeah, I wouldn't be looking at spending probably have to put you down. Do you know what I mean? We're sort of exhausted. I wouldn't be looking at spending too much on medication. Yeah, do you know what I mean? How about those people that are spending so much money keeping a cat alive and the cat's probably just like, you know what? Just let me go. I'm exhausted. I don't like you that much. Yeah, I know. If the roles were reversed, your cat would put you down

or Zul, I'm saying. And I've got two cats that have died recently that have been put down. I just don't want to talk about it. No, no, fair enough. It's awful. Now, so I did arrive. I left. Nice drive down. Love the Great Expressway.

That's sort of one part of my review. Great Expressway between Auckland and Hamilton. Drive fast. 110. That little 10 makes a difference, doesn't it? Yeah, it's fun. That's a good bit of a road, that. Yep, good fun.

So that's a review. I'd put that on TripAdvisor. Great highway, get in there. Great road. Then I got there, and I got there actually an hour earlier. There wasn So that's review. I'd put that on TripAdvisor. Great highway getting there. Great road. Then I got there, and I got there actually an hour earlier. There wasn't that much traffic. So I sort of...

There's a lot to do. No, well, I sort of went, I did that thing where I was like, I've got to see the hospital, you know, see it with my eyes so I know where it is. And then I sort of looped around a bit and couldn't sort of find anything

or, you know, anywhere to sort of eat or do. Where was the message? Hey, Vaughan, I'm in Hamilton. I've got to be by the hospital. What is there to do? I'd say, Hayley, pop down to Hamilton Lake. There's a beautiful playground there. No, I sort of looped around looking for somewhere to sit,

like an outdoor place. And there's a cafe down by the lake. There's a beautiful seat. It's beautiful. You were. If you were by the hospital, you were right by the lake. No, I couldn't find the lake. So I drove around. I did a loop. and then what I ended up doing... You can literally

see it. It's quite big. Couldn't see it. A good, I reckon a cricket player from the corner of the lake could throw something in almost at the hospital. I will say, part two of my review of Hamilton, can't see the lake. More signs for the lake. More lake signs. So I was driving around being like... Because you know in your pocket there's a device

that connects to something called the internet and you can pull that up and then visit. If I have to do that, the lake's not big enough nor worthy to see. Okay. So I drove around for a bit and I was like, you know, I'm stuffless. I'll go get a coffee.

I hadn't had a coffee that day. And there was a coffee place. I believe they call them cafes. Yeah, down by the lake. No, attached to the hospital. So I was like, I'll just go in there. Right. Go in there.

Great service, I will say, of this cafe. That's part three of my review of Hamilton. And then I ordered my usual iced oat latte. Yeah. $12. Piss off! In a hospital. How big was it? Now we... Was it a bucket? You're in Hamilton.

Oh no, because you... No, this is why I talk about Auckland prices. We punish the people who won't drink the cow's milk. Do you think I screamed of... We punish the people that... Because it's a dairy. I screamed of Auckland Odie vibes. It's me.

You said, oh, they were like, stinger. 12... Wait, were they charging you for a coffee and a cup of oat milk? Like, do you think they got the... Or is it because it's in a hospital? No, you don't pay additional. It's because it's a cafe in a hospital. They've got you.

No, but it was its own branded thing. Like the parking. It was its own branded thing. Like the parking. It was its own branded thing. It was separate from the hospital, just right next to it. $12. We talk about these big city prices. Hamilton's bloody $12. Oh, I think they've got that wrong.

Now, I get an eye patch all the time. Maybe that's like $8 or $9, and that's steep. $12. So now my opinion's gone down of this. So I have my appointment, that's fine and everything. But I will say there was my final review of Hamilton. I was, I pulled over, oh, because I was trying to connect my phone and it wasn't connecting.

So I pulled over on the side as I was leaving Hamilton. I didn't stick around. It's not straight in. And this truck pulls out, kind of like looking out of a driveway to pull. And I was there and I was sort of ready to go out, but he was indicating. And so I sort of gave him a little, you go first.

And he sort of waved at me. And then I realised he was super hot. And I was like, oh my gosh. We've got a hot truckie. We've got a hot truckie tradie guy. So then he sort of like waves at me like, thanks for letting me out. And I sort of wave back at him like, absolutely no problem. Then he pulls out and then I sort of was like, I was having

another little look. And he's having another little look. We had a little misconnection in Hamilton. I'd move for him. You'd move to Hamilton. I'd move to Hamilton. You'd pay $12 for an hour. I'd pay $12 a day on coffee for this hot guy. Anyway, that was the highlight, was this hot tradie. Well, they say Turkey and Thailand are the places for medical tourism. Yeah, anyway, that was the highlight, was this hot tradie. Well, they say Turkey and Thailand

are the places for medical tourism. No, Hamilton. Great experience. Hot tradies. Other than the expensive coffee, it was a great day. And the lake. And I couldn't find the lake.

It was right there. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Here, everybody. We're going to try something. Yeah. We're going to do this. Last week, we were just like,

what is the last thing you and your partner argued about? And I tell you what, the nation just had a little pss, pss, pss, pss, pss. Just really let some air out. Your instant pot was finished cooking and you just had to release some pressure from that pressure cooker. Oh, my God, yeah. A little pss,sss now saves a boom later. It was

so cathartic and you could really feel that people needed a vent. So we're calling this segment The Vent. This is the vent. Ba na na na. If it had a jingle it would be great. I think we'll have to work on that. This is the vent. It's a play on

This is the Voice. This is the Voice. I think it's have to work on that. This is the vent. It's a play on this is the voice. This is the voice. I think it's got to have some vent sounds. We're braced on that. We're having vents right now. We're having vents right now. We're taking your vents. You just need to get something off your chest. You have a little vent.

You're pissed off about something. Could be someone. You're wild about something. You're sitting on something. Yeah. Let us take it. Oh, someone at work is annoying. Yeah, let us.

We'll do it. Maybe we can just, maybe even if you need us to play the role of Roger at work. Yeah. To, you know, really wear it. We're just here for you. You tell us the basics and we'll be like, oh, how's that spreadsheet coming? And you get to vent at us. Maybe it's the pothole that they just never fix.

Yeah, yeah. On the way to work. In the same place. Yeah. That's the pressure release. Maybe you spent like hours cooking a meal yesterday and then you ate it and it was crap. That really, that spoils my day.

And I always say, I should have just made toast. I should have just made eggs on toast. Should have just gone to the pub. Yeah. Yeah. Pub never lets you down. Okay, well, 0800 DALS at M 9696.

Actually, you know what? You're right, this texter, 346. The forecast has been really wrong recently. Yes! It says cloudy. You look outside. Yeah. I see rain. Okay, have a vent. 0800 DALS at M 9696. We are venting. There's so many

angry faces in the text machine, angry emojis. It's like they're everywhere. So many. We have a vent. We're letting off some steam, allowing you to do the same. We're just receiving it. A text here, my vent, I'm so annoyed every time

I say I don't like avocado, I have to justify myself to everybody, and they say, you're weird. And I'm sorry, but that is green bland slime, and I'm not eating it. Wow. It is a superfood, though. Oh, John.

Actually, I'm going to need a vent. Mauro, good morning. What do you need a vent about? Good morning, guys. Let me say, before I start, this is my second time. Okay. The first time, long-time caller. No, long-time listening, first-time caller.

I didn't get the bell. You can't get it. Wait, but does it apply for a second time? Yes, because it's on us that we missed it. Okay, ding it. No, did you tell us that you were a long-time listener, first-time caller last time? I forgot. I was so excited. I'm sorry. He was so excited. No bell. No bell. Did you tell us that you were a long-time lost in the first time corner last time?

I forgot. I was so excited. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He was so excited. No bell. No bell. I got bell. No bell.

Andy's got a bell. I've got my own bell. Yay! No! Take it back. Bell or Jack's bell. Bell or Jack's bell. He was excited, Vaughn.

So, Mauro, why do you need to vent today? I work for Te Fato Ora. And there is a new position available in my department. And I was kind of encouraged to apply. Yeah. I spoke to the hiring manager, you know, about the job. She explained everything. So, no, you have to apply. So, you know, and about the job. She explained everything. So,

she said, no, you have to apply. So, I applied and my, um, I was accepted,

you know, but I wasn't shortlisted for an interview and she said, oh, I'm sorry, you weren't successful. Why'd you make me apply?

Did they ask you to apply? Did they ask you to apply? Did they ask you? Don't tell me to apply. You wasted Maro's time. What, did they have to tick a box? So many people have to apply?

Yeah. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry they haven't seen Maro. I'm on your side, Maro. I'm on your side, Maro. In fact, I'll posthumously award you a long time. Yeah, go on. Yeah, dig it.

Yeah. From the official bow. At least you got a dig there. Maro, thank you. Belinda, why do you need to vent this morning? Well, I've got a real thing about people having conversations on speakerphone in public places. Yeah, do you know what? Hey, yes, shut up.

Do you know what I mean? Take it somewhere. None of my business what you're talking about. Take it somewhere. Put it to your ear hole. Yeah. Yeah, like they're holding their phone right close to their mouth. Put it up to your ear.

I don't need to hear them. My friends are feeling the same as me always. Yeah, you're right, Belinda. You know, that's a good vent. I think your voice for more than just yourself there. Yeah.

I think we all agree. Good vent there. So many messages coming through. Get to more of those next. We are having a vent. Release it now. Release it now

or forever hold it until next time we do this segment. Which judging by the amount of messages we've had, I think it's therapeutic for the nation. Oh, I feel we need a weekly vent. Get it out. I love this one.

I was looking really hot yesterday. I hate it when you had a wasted hot day. I was looking really hot yesterday and I'd say it happens less and less now. Now that's got to be a lie. And my husband wasn't around to see it and enjoy it because he's away for work. What a waste.

What a waste. And also you're wasting that on a work day too. Those are the days you do a little photo shoot to capture the moment. Oh, yeah. People who don't put supermarket trolleys away in the right bay because there's the skinny half trolley and then there's the big trolley and they don't play well together. No, they don't interlock.

You can't ram a big trolley into a skinny trolley. No, it just does not work like that. It's not going to fit. I'm sick of knobby parents telling me we don't do screen time in our house, but they've got a TV and that's a large screen and their kids watch stuff on that. So don't tell me you don't do screen time. It is a giant screen, isn't it?

Someone said, I need to vet about the job market at the moment. Why the hell is it so bloody hard to find a job? Yeah. I get other people also looking. I can see 300 people have applied for the same job as me, but why can't I get a job? It's hard. So I need to vent at you guys.

On iHeartRadio, it says Brooks liar instead of Brooks leer regarding Soundkeeper Brooks. That's on us. And that's embarrassing for us too because today for Secret Sound, if you've got the iHeartRadio app, there's a clue. An iHeartRadio exclusive clue. There's a clue and a spelling mistake. Oh, maybe the spelling mistake

is a clue. Oh! Also, can I just say... Or is it just a spelling mistake? Seamless KPI for the iHeartRadio app. Thank you, Vaughan. You've got to have the latest version of the app and that clue will only be on the iHeartRadio app. Thank you, Vaughan. Beautiful from you. You've got to have the latest version of the app and that clue will only be on

the iHeartRadio app today if you are playing Secret Sound. I need to vent my baby daddy acting like a hero for paying for our kids' school camps

yet refusing to pay for his frigging child support which is the reason I need help paying for the camps in the first place. Someone's woken up

with their period now they're sitting in traffic for one and a half hours usually 30 minutes to work. Left my laptop at home that's my vent. Ha ha.

You left your microphone at home too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can relate. Yeah. Not menstruating though, so I'm having a better day than you. You're just having one better. One step better. Yeah.

When you buy a toilet roll that says 380 sheets, why aren't the sheets numbered backwards from 380 to one so you know when you're halfway through and you need to think about getting a new roll? What? I would love to see some numbers because they can print things on those rolls.

Yeah. I mean, look at the roll and be like, oh, that looks half done. No, no, it's misleading because when you're halfway through, it won't look like

it's halfway finished because when you've got more on the roll, there's a bigger, a bit like this, a bigger circumference. The sticker on the glad wrap that says you've got

five metres left and you're like, yeah, just one maybe halfway through that said you're halfway through metres left and you're like, yeah, just one maybe halfway through that said you were halfway through this toilet roll.

Good vent. Good vent. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. So we would have seen Bianca Sensori who is Kanye West's wife on the red carpet at the Grammys

in what felt like a hostage situation, completely nude essentially. They had a little fight which you can kind of hear and then she took off her dress and all this kind of stuff and people were like, no good. in what felt like a hostage situation, completely nude, essentially. They had a little fight, which you can kind of hear, and then she took off her dress and all this kind of stuff, and people were like, no good.

Yeah, and it looks like it's over now. That relationship has been toxic from day one. Now, is she an architect? Did I read that somewhere? She's an architect? What? I just thought she was a... What?

Robot. Is she an architect? Yeah, Carwin's nodding yes. She's an Australian architect and model. It's like not easy to become an architect. No, you've got to like study for ages. Well, you've got to be smart. So apparently they were heading for divorce.

She has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne. She was a student of architecture at the TP Toscano Architects based in Collingwood, Victoria. Well, that's us judging a book on its cover, isn't it? Yes, it is. And it's a very naked cover. Well, apparently they are lawyering up and they're talking

divorces. Kanye's actually lost quite a lot of money since being with her because of all of his controversial Nazi statements. Losing a lot of brand deals. Yep, as you'd expect. But it has come out that neither of them, despite yelling, holla, we want prenup. In 2005.

They don't have a prenup, which means we're in for a messy divorce here. And then we were like, oh my God, the conversation about prenups. Would you, you wouldn't, you'd expect it if you met a major celebrity who's one of the world's wealthiest people. At times, he's been worth like a lot of money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nearly billions. All billions? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he was doing Yeezy and Addie Death, all that kind of stuff. If you met him, you'd be like, well, it's going to happen. I'm going to have that conversation about a prenup.

But it's just everyday people. Yeah, totally. These conversations can be a bit, because you only ever hear of like rich or celebrities getting prenups, but it's actually more common than you'd think. I know. And I just, I mean, like me and Aaron don't have one. Both of us entered the relationship with essentially nothing.

So, you know, everything we've grown, we've grown together. But in those early years, before you hit the legal marker of I'm now entitled to 50% of everything, you're all lift up and it's hard to be like, hey, when we break up, because you think this is forever, when we break up, you can't have any of my staff. And that just feels like a grating kind of a conversation. Yeah. Well, we put the call out, 0800 DARS at M, text through, 9696.

Have you had to have this awkward conversation? And how did it go? And so many messages in. Anonymous joins us. Good morning, Anonymous. Hello, how are you? Good. You had to have this conversation.

Were you the one that was going into a relationship with more than the other? Or the other way around? No, I was the one with absolutely nothing. My husband, he was, yeah, in a great position. And, yeah, he came home from work one day and he was like, we were engaged at the time and he was all standoffish and weird and I was thinking, oh, gosh, what's going on? He's like, I need to talk to you about something.

He's cheated with someone at the golf club. Straight away, yeah, that's where my mind went. I was like, oh, yeah, it's over. Yep, see ya. And then I was like, oh, okay. Let him say, and he's like, how would you feel if I got the lawyer to write up a prenup for you to sign? I was like, absolutely. Like, no stress at all. That just, yep, wasn't even, didn't even second guess it. I just thought, totally fair enough.

So there was nothing in you that was like, oh my God, he's already thinking about the end? No, no, it didn't come across like that. No, I think I kind of felt bad that he was so nervous. But I thought, no, you've worked so hard to be where you're at. Like if something did happen, it's not my place to take half of what you worked hard for before I came along, you know? Yeah, I totally agree.

That's how I think I would be. You guys are still together, obviously. Yes, we're still together. And if it is forever, you know. You get half still together, obviously? Yes, we're still together. And if it is forever, you, you know. You get half of it anyway because you're living it. You're enjoying it. Oh, that's really, that's a very mature approach, Anonymous. Yeah, I didn't want it by my parents or anything.

I just was like, yep, sweet. Did you just sign it or did you get a lawyer to look at it as well? I just signed it, honestly. Because you're meant to get a lawyer independently, right? That's what lawyers want you to do. Money, money, money. Take you up an hour or 1,300 bucks later. But also, Anonymous, you said that you didn't,

in terms of assets, really have a lot. So it's kind of like, well, what's the worry of me signing this? That's kind of where I was coming from. I was like, all I'm bringing to the table is a big student loan. So let's just see where this goes. It's different now, though, like since we're married, everything that we have since then is 50-50. Yeah, so that's the deal, right?

We're never on into the relationships, but everything that you build together is... It's a line in the sand, really. Do you know, it's interesting, Anonymous, because a lot of people who enter relationships with nothing are like, oh, I don't need a prenup. But then it can change. So Ellie Wong, the comedian, right,

she signed a prenup with her ex because his mother was like, you're not getting anything that he's worked hard for. Neck minute, she becomes mega, mega famous. And like a multi-billionaire. They've signed the prenup, so he got nothing when they divorced. But then that's, she built

that when they were together. But I think on the prenup that they've signed they're saying you're getting nothing. We're keeping our finances separate. And so it can work the other way Anonymous. You never know in your marriage I suppose. I know you better watch out.

Amazing. Anonymous, thank you for sharing some messages in., yeah. You're like, I might get real rich. Amazing. Anonymous, thank you for sharing some messages in. There's so many of them. A lot of people just saying... Has anybody taken offense to it? Yes. Hang on. I just saw a text before.

More surprisingly, a lot of people are like, no, it's a grown-up conversation. And it was actually like, you know, it was a conversation they had and they got it all drawn up. And a couple of people were like, just the fact that I was willing to sign it meant that I didn't. Yeah. Someone said, yes, me, it ended in tears. My lawyers were trying too hard to get me

as much as possible. It made it really awkward. So you got a lawyer to be like, yeah, in the prenup, we're going to put this, this, this, this, this. And then your partner's like, well, hang on, I just want to do this. Lawyers. Lawyers got their

sticky beaks in there. Someone messaged in just now saying, I need to have this discussion. I'm putting it off. Oh, it's never easy. Raised the topic lightly and got dumped on the spot.

Had to walk 40 minutes home. But the dumb thing was, he was the rich one in the relationship. I'd say I dodged a bullet, but ended up back together and dating for another two years before I learnt that that

first red flag wasn't the only one. Yeah, right. People are buying houses first and sign property agreements for their millennial divorce. I went through this conversation and it was fine as we're investing in a huge asset rather than saying we're getting married for forever. So there you go,

there's that. Yeah, right. You've just got to look at the stats of marriage. I mean, which you're not looking at when you're planning your wedding. Yeah, right. So there you go, there's that. Yeah, right. You've just got to look at the stats of marriage. I mean, which you're not looking at when you're planning your wedding. No, because you're all in love. But you've just got to think. Things have a way of changing. Oh, someone says it was such an easy conversation. Maybe

because we're gay though. Laugh my ass off. What are the gays that have this easier? The gays are just having better conversations. They're having better everything. I mean, they're more realistic, right? Yeah, they're just more straightforward, straight up. I love that. Yeah.

Oh, interesting. Well, for the people that are messaging and saying that they're delaying it, you know, delaying it's not going to make it better. It seems like the majority of people are just having the conversation and it's going fine. And you're going, if this is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, then you expect that they will receive a mature conversation from you. Somebody messaged, we killed a dinner party

talking about prenups because we talked about how we just happily signed one and it was no big deal. Yeah. And then everybody else was so angry at us for just signing prenups rather than, and we're like, why are you angry? It's got nothing to do with you. You are like, we just told you.

Yeah. That it was simple. Yeah, we just absolutely just ruined a dinner party. How good's that? Amazing. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Food waste really gets to me. I know, I've become my father.

I'll be like, leave that in there, I'll eat that later. Yeah, you'll get a container in there at a restaurant. The role of the dad is, leave that there, I'll eat that later. And we just don't get sick because of it. Yeah. Because our stomachs are just like the insincere rate. Isn't your daughter right now at home with a stomach ache? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Eating your old, old food. Because she's not eating enough old food. Okay, right. She's got a weak stomach. Yeah, she's like her mother. The minute it's within a week of the date, she's like, I can't eat that.

And that is the massive problem. Gen Z is wasting more food than any generation before it due to confusion over food date labels. We're talking best before, used by, and expiring. This news story and study is funny because we had this exact conversation yesterday with Shannon, our dear Gen Z that we... What's our group chat called? Shannon's Guardians. Shannon's Guardians.

Shannon's Guardians. You have real issue with like used by an expiration date. Yeah, I keep eating chicken on the day of and I don't know if that's okay. So when it's expired, I just cook it for longer because in my head that carries the germs. But chicken, the chicken you buy in the supermarket is best before.

Yeah. So if you're cooking it on the date, say it was best before today, the 19th of Feb. It's not going to be as fresh, right? Yeah, it's still fine because the supermarket have a buffer. Yeah, because I kind of thought it's fine for lunch but not dinner. What, you think that by... Your lunch stomach can handle it. But the dinner tummy is going to be very upset.

Right. But then I thought that was a bit... Well, I asked Carlin, and Carlin's like, I don't eat meat, but that's probably a bit silly. So then I started eating it a few days past. I'll give it like a three-day buffer now. For chicken? Yeah.

Thank you. But I cook it a bit longer. Oh, you don't have a freezer, do you? No. Yeah, I was going to say, you can just put it in the freezer and defrost it that day. I smell it, but it smells like raw meat. Yeah, chicken just smells yucky anyway. Yeah. If it gets slimy, give it a wash under the tap. Androst it that day. I smell it, but it smells like raw meat. Yeah, chicken just smells yucky.

If it gets slimy, give it a wash under the tap and give it a what? If it gets green. It got a bit green and that's when I thought, no, don't. It's like when beef starts to cook itself in the fridge. It starts to go grey and you're like, oh.

How long have you been in the freezer for, Mr. Beef? Yeah. A lot enough that I've started to cook myself with the cold. The way to remember it is best before is way different than expiring. Because expiring, you shouldn't eat it past that date. Don't eat it after. You know what experts recommend? And I don't want to say I was right again,

but it's becoming a habit. Relying on sight, smell, and taste to determine food quality instead of date labels. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, a lot of stuff is so full of crap. Preservatives, yeah. 100%.

Give it a sniff if it smells okay. Give it a little... No, don't roar at the chicken. Oh, no, I wasn't thinking chicken. I was thinking more your milks and your dairies at that stage. Oh, yeah. But I don't know what bad smells like. You know, like if a tree

lives in a forest? You'll know. I had this when I got that, I had that crayfish for a photo shoot. So it was fresh and then it was frozen then it was,

it was, This, this relatable. Relatable. This is so relatable. Hold on everybody, Hayley's about to be relatable to the average

urban dwelling New Zealander. This reminds me of the time I spent $160 on a crayfish for a photo shoot. Oh, hang on. Oh my God! I just spilled a litre of water

on the ground. Hayley! That's the ground. It looks like I peed myself. When it rains, where does the water end up? On the ground. But the crayfish was fresh,

frozen, raw for a couple of hours, back to frozen, raw for a little bit, frozen, defrosted, and I cooked it and it was fine. Everyone was like, you were going to get so sad.

What did you do frosty unfrosty for? For the shoot. That's madness. What, am I going to have a freezer in the shoot? It was fine. It tasted fine. I just cooked it for a little bit longer. It was tough and tasty.

Have you got anything that 90% of people would have eaten? Bread. I eat bread sometimes. Every now and then she'll dabble in bread. With a lovely crayfish sandwich. 43% of people throw away food based only on date labels and also those people don't know what the date labels mean. The difference between best before, expiry and used by.

Sniff and a lick. Which has gone up massively in the last 10 years. Only 57% of people understand what the labels mean. And there's a call for a sort of a better labeling system because best before, like everybody just call it best before and say best before means that if you want a premium product before this date,

a couple of days afterwards, if it smells all right and it it looks alright, it's alright. You're telling me a yogurt in a bottle with a sealed lid is gonna go off in like a week. Do you know that I just threw out a yogurt from my fridge and I was like, oh that's been in there for a long time, like that'll be no

good. It was November expiry. It's February. Had it been opened? Yeah. Oh yeah. Once it's been opened. And it turned into a solid. Had it solid enough? It Oh yeah Once it's been opened And it turned into a solid Had it solid enough And it turned into A sort of solid milk product Like a cheese

Some kind of delicious cheese Maybe A yogurty cheese I could have sliced it Onto a pizza And seen you know How it went Did the maid

Not clean out the fridge Because you should Hire your help Yeah you're good I was like Martha Get in here Slapped her and said Go and get me a more

Go get me another crayfish Go get me another crayfish. Go fetch Mama a fresh cray. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day have learnt over the time so far looking into Simpsons facts That perhaps there's never been a TV show more closely scrutinised than Simpsons Every aspect of it pulled apart

And they always say it predicts the future Yeah, only because we're going cover in an upcoming Fact of the Day Oh okay All the things that the Simpsons have done I mean they've literally done a million episodes Of course they're going to say something that's going to happen That's actually happened Yeah

If you just do it that much You're bound to hit the clock you know So today's Fact of the Day is about the couch gags The famous opening to The Simpsons where everything's the same Maggie gets scanned on the scanner and it didn't really say anything, but everybody tried to pause it back in the day to see what it said, but it was blurry and it didn't work. Bart drops the, well, Homer drops the nuclear rod and Bart skateboards in and then they run into the house and then

there's the couch gag. Well, did you know, and today's fact of the day, is the long couch gags, you know, there's a few that are really, really long. You might be thinking of the circus line couch gag where the thing goes up and they're in a circus and they dance and there's a whole parade that's quite a famous one. They made long ones to make it easier for themselves when they couldn't make an episode long enough.

Oh, yeah. It was a bit short. So an episode had to be perfectly the same amount every time because the networks needed it to be and when it got syndicated and sent around, ad breaks were of a certain length. What is it, like 22 minutes in New Zealand? Yeah, 22 minutes of a show. And so if they'd made an entire show and they really liked it

and they didn't want to add anything or go to the extra length of getting more dialogue and animating more cells, they'd just put in one of the longer animated couch ones to push it up to the right amount of time. And there's even instances where the longer couch ones, when

they're used more than once, will have a little bit cut out because it wasn't quite as long as it needed to be last time. Cheeky. Very cheeky.

This is why you hire lazy people to find shortcuts. Yeah, totally. I've always said it. And because they are, you know, those really long couch gags are so much more to watch,

you actually enjoy seeing them. You go, oh, this is the long one, or this is the big one. Each couch gag's been used more than a few times. And they just spread it around. And the first episode didn't have one. The first ever episode of The Simpsons didn't have one. The first one was in the second episode, Bart the Genius, where they run in and they sit,

and Bart just pops off the couch and lands on the floor. Now, simple couch gag. Yeah. It's evolved a lot since. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is the extra long couch gags for the opening of The Simpsons and the opening theme are only there because the actual show itself

was a little bit shorter. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Now, you know when your algorithm on Instagram or whatever just like hones in on one thing and then you just can't stop getting it. Mine was undies for a while and so now today I'm wearing new undies. Great undies.

Well, you're new bra today. You've been going on about that. New bra, new undies. Great day to get hit by a bus. Matching set. Feeling good. Don't get hit by a bus. I don't think any day's a good day.

Also, we talked to the ambulance people. They said they don't look or care. Yeah, I know, but today they'll be like, fresh mesh set. They'll be like, she looks good. She's up. She's perky. We like her. Sexy but practical.'ll be like, fresh mesh set. They'll be like, she looks good. She's up. She's perky. We like her.

Sexy but practical. But so that was it for a while. It was just targeted advertising for underwear. And I was like, I gotta buy some underwear. And now that I've bought the underwear, I think the algorithm knows that it's changed. And now it's targeting me with one thing that I need. It's the Ninja Slushy Professional Maker. Oh my God, I'm getting this too.

Oh my God, we need this. Because you make alcoholic slushies. I reckon you could share custody. Get one and share custody. You reckon? Yeah, maybe. Because we'll owe each other like five days a week. You could be like,

Fletch, I've got an occasion this weekend. We do a handover on Fridays. Or I just go to Hayley's on a Friday afternoon and we have slushies. Slushies and a smile. Yeah. So you can put in like anything. You could put in like a bottle of Coca-Cola and it would make a frozen Coke.

You can put in, I saw someone putting in. I don't know if that's how it works. Is that how it works? Yeah. Oh, okay. Almost. And then you put in, I saw someone putting in a little bit of orange juice and a little bit of bubbles.

We've got frozen mimosas. Like, oh my God. And I know this is the kind of thing, it's going to like take up space. It's not going on the countertop, so like, where's it going? I don't have a lot of storage in my kitchen. Neither do you. It goes right at the back of that corner cupboard that you'll never reach. And when you pull it out, you just

accidentally drag everything out with it. I know. Because I thought this as well. I was like, I would love to have a play with this and have it around for some parties, but I would love to have a play with this and have it around for some parties. It's been in. But I would use it twice a year. No, you wouldn't. We'd use it hard for a few months.

Also, summer's nearly at an end. Yeah. So we were like. And then I'd have to put it back sticky. Yeah, and you'd have to put it back sticky and it would be like in the back of the cupboard with all of those other appliances that you bought because you're like, oh my God, genius.

And you've used it once. I've used my blender a lot, but it does live in the cupboard more than I use it. You've got like a KitchenAid, like you barely ever bake. Excuse me, I bake cookies all the time. Where are your cookies? Yeah, you do have that big flash mixer. Yeah. But you don't use that, and that's taking

up prime real estate on your countertop. You know what, I'm going to make some cookies this weekend. That'll teach you. What if there's not cookies here on Monday? Yeah. What kind of cookies? You'll know why. Always caramel.

A caramel. Okay. Bit much. Okay, I'll just do plain vanilla for you. It's the Haley of cookies. Bit much. It's a bit much.

Too sweet? Sharp on the tongue? Too sweet. Really white. Yeah. Okay, I'll do some plain vanilla for you. Don't call me the tongue. Too sweet, really white. Yeah. Okay, I'll do some plain vanilla for you. Don't call me the caramilk.

You'll rum and raise him. Anyway, this is... Reliable. Reliable, but always disappointing. This is, like, this Ninja Slushie, I need it and I want it, but I know it's going to be with the other appliances that you bought

that you only used, like, once or twice. This is what we want to know. What is the appliance you bought that you only used like once or twice. This is what we want to know. What is the appliance you bought that you never use? And it's just sitting in the cupboard. There's so many. The people that get those like little pie makers. Yeah, pie makers, the popcorn makers. Yes, yeah.

Just put it in a pot. Ice cream makers. Yeah, we got one of those things where you freeze fruit and you push it through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it turns it into a real fruit ice cream. Yum. It's massive. It's not been used that many times.

We had a food processor. Needed that. I think the first food processor we gave to you because you wanted to make something. And then the second. I remember there was talk of a juicer at one stage. And it would have been me. Okay, I've got a juicer. It would have been me being like, we need a juicer.

So glad we didn't get the juicer because that would have got used. I don't use my juicer. Now, someone's texting with a bit of girl math here. They said, oh my God, I've just bought it. This slushie. Okay. Since buying it, I've made 55 frozen margaritas. So it's kind of actually recouped its cost.

Actually, that's true because if you go to a bar, a frozen margarita is 20 bucks or something. Yeah. Okay, great girl maths there. Yeah. Okay, 0800DARLSATM, call us now, text through 9696. What is the appliance that you own but you just never use? I want to get the Ninja Slushie, but it's expensive. We're all guilty of buying appliances and using them a few times.

Yeah. Kelly, what did you buy and hardly ever use now? Oh, I so want that Ninja Slushie, Hayley. Oh, I know. That is top on my list. Kelly, I've been getting the ads as well for this. Yeah. Yeah.

Kelly, do you want to go thirds with me in Fletch? And where will you get your custody? Too far away. Oh, we could ship it. Come to Christchurch. We'll ship it down to you every second Friday. Yeah, work can pay the shipping. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. it down to you every second Friday. Yeah, work can pay the shipping. Yeah, but mine is the dreaded kid chocolate fountain. Oh my God. Chocolate. Oil. Oil. Oil. What? You purchased a chocolate fountain for your kids? That's like

mum of the year stuff. Yeah, that is. Wait, so how does it work? You put in a whole lot of oil, did you say? Yeah, you've got to melt chocolate, but in order to let it flow through the machine, you have to add oil to it. Ooh, Kelly, you've ruined the oil. Kelly, ooh, you've ruined chocolate fountains for me now. Yeah.

Yeah, and then it all sits in the machine, so trying to clean the thing up. Ooh. Yeah, that's manky. That's not going to happen with our slushy machine, Kelly. to clean the thing. Oh. Yeah, that's manky. That's not going to happen with our slushy machine, Kelly. No, no, no. We're not going to send it down to you dirty every third Friday. Kelly, thank you.

Melissa, what is the appliance that you bought that you hardly use? Good morning. We bought a juicer. I saw it on Marketplace, and I noticed that the seller selling it was an All Blacks wife. Oh, okay.

Has she been doing some juice cleanses, do you think? I just said to my husband, oh, my God, we have to buy it, we have to buy it. And so he came along to pick it up because we wanted to do a bit of a stalk. Oh, my God, I love this. And it's safe to say I don't even think we've unboxed it. Oh wow. Oh my gosh.

I had a juicer that I used a lot, but now I don't. I don't think I've used it in like five years. Side note, Melissa, where do you live and do you want to go in with me and Kelly and Fletch on the slushy machine? She'd custody. If I get to meet someone famous then maybe. God, you're really after someone famous. She's just a musician. You're really meeting someone famous.

No, we can't promise that. Gagging, gagging, gagging for those famous pals. Melissa, thank you. Some messages in. Bought an air fryer two years ago and never used it, which is crazy because that thing gets used in our house so much. That's a ninja as well. Oh, yeah. I never used the microwave as Nigella's.

Oh, my God. I'd use mine every... I reckon I'd use mine most days. Yeah, use mine. We bought it to heat a wheat pack when my partner was sick. Heat the wheat? But now it just sits on the fridge, unplugged, never gets touched. Oh.

A milkshake maker, which is just literally A small thruffer On a massive stand Had it since we were nine Oh my god I'm 29 now Never gets used Brought none of the boys To the yard either Zero

Satisfy a pro Sadly lived in the back Of my bed so draw What? What are you doing? You are missing a trick Wait a minute Three kids under three

The bed is now for precious sleep But you got three kids under three There was a time When that bed was not Getting much sleep at all Yeah but that's the thing about it. It's fast. It's to the point.

Keep your texts coming in 9696. 0800 DARS at M. We're talking about the appliances that you've purchased that you never use. I just remembered I've got a rice cooker. Oh, my God. Rice cookers cook the most perfect rice. I cook the most perfect rice the old school way with water and a pot. Grow up.

Grow up. It's embarrassing. You're a child. Snip the corner of the orange bag in microwave.. Grow up. It's embarrassing like you're a child. Snip the corner of the orange bag in microwave. Oh no, it's got a film on it.

It's got a coating. It's a ricey film Vaughn. Last time I drank a rice in a pot it had more than a bloody ricey film on it. That was an absolute shambles. So Georgia Burt,

do you have an appliance that you never use? The air fryer. Because if it's not out on the bench which I hate, then it doesn't get used. So we got rid of it last week.

Yeah, they're always like tucked away and you've got to get a chair that can't get them out of the top cupboard. I love our air fryer. It just lives on the bench. It's such a crucial part of the family. It lives on the bench. Okay, well, some messages in. Thermomix.

I don't use my Thermomix. I paid $2,500 for this thing to sit in my cupboard. They don't use it. What does it do? Isn't it just a blender? It's in everything. My sister's got one and whenever we're like going to mum and dad's for Christmas or whatever for a couple of days and everybody's there, she'll just bring it and just be like who wants a cocktail one minute,

bread the next, something else, something else. It's quite impressive but $2,500. Yeah, that's a bit much. Fletch, we've got quite a lot of people putting up their hands to go fourths on the slushie machine, but they are in Palmy, so it's like we're going Palmy, Christchurch, Auckland, Auckland. It's almost, yeah. That's a good way to see family, though.
