Starting point is 00:00:16 Look under your seats. What's under there? Nothing chewing gum or something. Pranked. I see anything. No, no pranks. Okay. No pranks.
Starting point is 00:00:27 That's what you think. You've got to pick up. up the hot cross buns today. I'm writing that on my little to-do list. Oh, okay, yep, that's all right. I can do that. Yeah, short week. Daylight savings this weekend? Yeah, I'm pretty jazzed on the short week. Well, it's a day... It's just tomorrow and then that's that. It'll be Friday and Monday for a lot of people that don't have to drive their car.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah. So that'll be a saving at least. Just couch rot, I reckon. Yeah. That'll save you 50, 50 buck. Apparently, yeah, they reckon that like people going away for Easter weekend's going to be like less as well. Oh my God, yeah, didn't even think driving down to wherever you want to go. I know, so people are just... Up there and down there.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Going to stay home. $10 suburb, $1,000 street. Are we just giving it away? Yeah. Around 7.30 this morning and, but I can guess your pet's name, thanks to animates, $500 at 10 past 8. Lots of chances you to win cash today on the show. The top six born
Starting point is 00:01:22 well, a chuckingling Chinese meal. This is Democracy Manifest. That's the man who touched me of the penis. I see you know your judo well has been added to the Australian archive. The audio archives. Yeah. The history of Australia.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I love this. That's so good. So I was thinking the top six quotes from here in Alti-Ro in New Zealand, we could add to the New Zealand archives. Because we've got New Zealand archives, but do they add audio? Surely. Surely they add like famous internet clips. Well, there's the sound and something museum down in Wellington, you know, with the film and sound and stuff. Surely we'll be in there.
Starting point is 00:01:59 That's fantastic. Well, the top six quotes that should be in there. Yeah. Okay. Next on the show. Supermarkets are in a real pickle. They made a bit of a computer era, not in their favour, and they're trying to remedy it quickly.
Starting point is 00:02:16 The flesh one in Haley, Big Pod. Now the top six is coming up, and there's been a lot of debate in the studio while the songs have been playing about what audio we should include in the top six. Because a succulent Chinese meal, the very well-known clip, has been added to the Australian Audio Archive. He died last year, eh? Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yes, he did. Dude lived into his 80s, though, and he was not afraid of a red wine. No, I know. Guy Williams interviewed him, for Enzid today. Cigarette and a red wine and he lived into his 80s. Man. Because he was a Kiwi bit in Aussie? No, I think it was...
Starting point is 00:02:51 No, I think it was just Australian. Just Aussie, okay. But we just became infatuated with it. Oh, such a great clip. So, we're talking about why the top six... New Zealand quotes would be added to the audio archive. Like blow on the pie, neck minute. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:05 You don't go through them all now. Well, we've got to go on the load. Yeah. Well, if you've got one that you think we should add to the list. Because one we'd completely miss just was we didn't even ask for them on the text machine. And 256, absolutely knocked it out of the park. So is that going to be included, do you think? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:03:21 It is. Well, if you've got one, like a piece of audio, a quote that should be in the top six, 966, because we want to make sure we've got the very. very best Thompson. Iconic Kiwi audios. And we want to be able to load the quotes in. Yeah, we love that. Okay, so let's text in 96696.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We'll get on to that. Yeah. So, do you know, there is a, guy, I love a Tesco when you're in the UK. Tesco. I just love it going into any supermarket overseas. I just love it so much. It's fascinating, eh?
Starting point is 00:03:48 I just love it. It's always an interesting look around. Do you know where I'm going to go tomorrow? Where? The Bintang supermarket. Yes. Tomorrow? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm in Bali tomorrow. I hate to break it to you. What time are you leaving to get there tomorrow? I land at 5pm in Bali time. Wow. So you'll leave it midday tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Straight to the Bintang supermarket.
Starting point is 00:04:08 If you guys want any cheap Bintang undies or singlets you, bloody let me know, boys. What is that? A bloody beer of Bindang undies. Oh, yeah, I've bought that Bintang G string we bought zero times. Yeah, no. It's too close to be next to skin. Yeah, it's thrush manifest.
Starting point is 00:04:24 It's a bit, yeah. So, anyway, Tesco, this is a Tesco, This is a Tesco in Kirkwall Orkney, which is in Scotland. And they've got an issue on their hands, and they're trying to remedy it quite quickly, after they accidentally screwed up an order. Okay. A stocking order for bananas. They accidentally ordered 380 wholesale boxes of bananas instead of 380KGs of bananas,
Starting point is 00:04:54 which resulted in, an estimated 38,000 bananas, which is double the entire population of the islands, where this test goes is, and the Orkney Islands. Yeah. They will never sell these bananas before they go all manky, like the ones that Vaughn puts in his porridge in the morning.
Starting point is 00:05:11 You should see what I got today. Show me. And also they're the... We'll just smell it from here. Orkney Isles, like you've got to, I'm assuming, get them by boat. Yeah, it's by boat. So then what are they going to have to boat some back to the mainland?
Starting point is 00:05:24 And I... The banana was so soft, I had to hide it. the container with the oaks. It was so disgusting. That is almost too ripe for cake. Like, how long do you leave them at home before you bring them to work? Buy less bananas, dude. No, I just buy them and then...
Starting point is 00:05:38 You go to the supermarket a few times a week. Like, just buy them when you go. You live there so many fruit suppliers. I need to pop in today, actually. So what are they going to do? They're giving them away. Because I've got here, the Orkney's population in early 2025 is approximately 22 to 22 and a half thousand people.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, so they've got 38,000 bananas. This one Tesco, it's not the only bloody supermarket either. Yeah. So there's too many bananas. That's at least like three bananas each. Yeah, I was going to say per person. Kind of, yeah, yeah. Or like two bananas, right?
Starting point is 00:06:10 And then you've got some people that won't eat any bananas. Like, I'm not a huge banana eater. I'll have a banana a day, easy. I love a banana, but I don't buy them. When you were a kid, how many bananas a day were you allowed? Probably like two. Really? We were only at one because we were told we'll get potassium poisoning,
Starting point is 00:06:23 but looking back on it, Mom just didn't want to have to spend too much money on bananas. I've been thinking about this recently the bullshit we were fed when we were kids You're going to drown, your eyes are going to go square Your face is going to stay like that if the wind changes Are you talking about like going swimming too quickly after lunch? Yeah, that's bullshit hey It's rubbish, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:40 Like using your phone on the forecourt of the petrol station Like it's going to blow up Yeah It's so weird these lies, we just live in lies 38,000 bananas, they're giving them away They could not... Oh really? And because they've had high winds
Starting point is 00:06:52 So they couldn't be returned via theory So they're just here And they're like, we're going to return the order in their lap Sorry, ferries closed. Yeah. High wins. Oh no. So they are just giving them away.
Starting point is 00:07:02 They're giving them away to community. This is awesome. They're giving away to community groups. Yep. Schools, toddler groups and football clubs. Like a banana. They're a banana. I guess you can do that thing.
Starting point is 00:07:13 You're like, well, I guess I just put these in the freezer and put them in a smoothie. And you never do and end up throwing them away in like six months. But I reckon someone needs to get fired because here's the twist. So they're giving them away, which is great, right? They've lost them. money, give them away to all these community groups. Here's a twist. This is not the first time that this
Starting point is 00:07:28 particular Tesco in Orkney, Scotland, have over-ordered. Two years ago, one of the shops accidentally ordered 720 Easter eggs instead of 80 and they couldn't sell them so they had to do a charity fundraiser. So they've got a good attitude behind them.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah, right. But the bananas are shorter shelf-life. But that's not... 720 Easter eggs when they meant to order 80. That's not even like an adding a z- or something before 80 or after 80. Someone's on the per se. Someone's had a few too many bloody whiskeys before work. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Oh God. Why women are so exhausted, not just from being bosses and the superior agenda. Sorry? What? Sorry, what the superior agenda? So I wasn't sure when the mics were up. No, not the only reason they're exhausted. They are exhausted.
Starting point is 00:08:27 We've talked about this a little bit in the past about the emotional labour that a lot of women carry. But there are sort of nine quiet forms of exhaustion that they suffer from, holding everyone else's stories, feeling responsible for moods that aren't theirs, absorbing conflict before anyone else feels it,
Starting point is 00:08:46 editing themselves to protect others, struggling to receive care, loneliness, no one can see, unable to rest without guilt. The list goes on. And it's Vaughn's fault. It is actually Vaughn's fault. Why is it my fault?
Starting point is 00:08:56 You literally just walked in about a minute into the spring. Yeah. Because you were just having a little quiet time on your mind. Women are exhausted, Vaughan, and you're making Haley even more exhausted. Hold anyone else's story. Feeling responsible. Absorbing conflict. Well, just don't do it then.
Starting point is 00:09:14 That's actually a really good point. That's really profound from you, Vaughn. But one of the things... It bothers you and you don't want to do it and it exhausts you doing it. Just don't do it. Do you want to lose all of our female listeners in the space of five minutes? Well, no, I'm helping them. I'm trying to help them out.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Just do it. No, then no, no, do it. Then it doesn't get done. 96, 96, if you want Vaughn to tell you to just smile. I'm not telling you to just smile. Just have a little smile. One of the things that they are most exhausted for is asking for basic emotional needs, such as listening and basic empathy in their relationships.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Men, though. Am I right? Yes. Yes. I know, sister. You are right. Do you know? I know, I know, sister.
Starting point is 00:09:53 utterly hated that utterly I know we can't listen to it all girl I know I don't think I'm the best example of a woman to listen to because I demand to be listened to
Starting point is 00:10:07 and I talk a lot Right okay I will say having been out in the wild For a year now Single Yeah that's what I mean Out in the wild Just like getting it all
Starting point is 00:10:20 Single quotes Who you're going to Barley with? Single. Barely know the guy. Okay. Really? Jokes, six months tomorrow. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And, um, ooh, yeah. And have you seen Hallie's screensaver? Ew, yuck. This is disgusting. Oh yeah, that's yuck. That's yuck. That's yuck. That's yuck. Anyway, having been out in the wild for some time,
Starting point is 00:10:44 yeah. I would say, my experience with gentlemen in the last wee while is that there's a big growth in emotional maturity. That would be my on the floor experience I did my own study That's all I was doing over the last 12 months So there's some science research for the show
Starting point is 00:11:00 Science and research Just being like just go I've got to go out Get going out and collecting my research Compared to what when you were single previously 100% which to be fair was like years ago And you were a lot younger too A lot younger too and with younger people Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:14 But I don't know I think there is Not that the study is wrong But I would say I think there is a lot of emotional development I'd say most of the men in my life of quite emotionally mature, yourselves included. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. Express yourselves quite well and listen and there's empathy.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Tell me. What did she say? Tell me you love me. Something about empathy. Are you listening? Pardon me? No. We've just sort of done three studies.
Starting point is 00:11:44 We did their study, my study, and our study just now proving this very correct. The ZDM Podcast Network. Chemist Warehouse, who by the way are working on a great charity with our in-studio guest Nicole Baroque all the way from Australia, I believe. Did they let you in okay? Yeah, all good yesterday.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Thankfully, our flight wasn't cancelled. Because, you know, Vaughan, when he goes to Australia, he has to go to the special booth. Every time. On arrival and departure. Oh, wow, you've been flagged. I don't know what I ever did. He has the same name as someone that knows Julian Assange.
Starting point is 00:12:16 That's what it was. Oh, okay, right. We do agree. Now, let me tell you a bit about Nicole. She's the founder of Bambi Minico, which is the cutest little name. But you, Vaughan, you know this company because you actually purchased. You may notice, I sound a little under the weather.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yesterday, I went to, you can see here, my Chemist Warehouse side pouch. Yep. That's in your backpack. With all the goodies. With all your lozenges and sprays and stuff. You acquired some Bambi Minico socks. Yes. Oh, you bought them.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yay. Oh, thank you. It's fantastic. This is what this is all about. You're co-labbing with Chemist Warehouse. Correct. Yes. And selling the most gorgeous mini socks.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Thank you. They don't fit born's feet. Big hooves. We do have some here for you though. We do have some special adult socks. And some for the girls too. And this is all raising money for the Starship Foundation, which of course is such an amazing foundation.
Starting point is 00:13:09 They do amazing work. So why socks? I guess it was like we started off as a babyware brand predominantly. And then we were personally fundraising for the girls. Good Friday appeal. That's sort of how it all started back in 2021. And yeah, I guess we decided we wanted to give back a little bit more and we were wondering how we do that and we figured that we could potentially do that through our socks.
Starting point is 00:13:33 And yeah, we extended the range to include it for older kids. So, yeah, I guess it's how it started. Do you feel, I feel, we're in an era of funky sock. Yeah, we are. People do express themselves. We said yesterday because we've never had to wear like, ironically wearing a shirt today, but we've never had to wear like suit and tie and shirts. But I always see business being like,
Starting point is 00:13:53 really trying to hold on to their personality with a pair of funky socks. Yes, yeah, they do that. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we can definitely wear these with your suit and tie and socks. Can I ask why the Starship Foundation, as if that's a question that needs to be answered? Obviously, it's, you know, but you could choose any charity to work with.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Is the Starship Foundation mean something to you personally? Well, like, I guess, you know, for us, the goal is to be able to work with children's charities across the world and we're able to do so thankfully through our partnership with the chemist warehouse. And yeah, like we launched Bambi Mini Co here in New Zealand in 2023. And yeah, we had the mission to see like how far we could take this and how many kids we could fundraise for and help across the world. And yeah, that's where Starship came in.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And we're actually going there today, which is super exciting. So we're going to meet the team, two of the hospitals. Barra's hospitals go one of the happier ones. Which is Asha. Yeah, yeah. Which is nice because there's kids in there. The radio station, radio lollipop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I mean, I'm happy to say I've never had to go. Yeah, I've taken the girls there a couple of times, sort of like emergency department and then maybe like overnight. And it's as, the people, I mean, this is no surprise. The people that work there are magic. Angels. And it is, yeah, such a great spot. Because you know, some companies that make money,
Starting point is 00:15:09 they can just keep it to themselves. You don't, this is a choice. Well, yeah, well, I mean, like 100% of the funds from the socks and the till donations go directly to the charity. Because that's the thing, even if you don't want to buy socks, you can just be at the chemist's warehouse and just donate while you're paying for your staff and make a donation, just like that. And what's the aim?
Starting point is 00:15:28 How much, because you did this last year in Australia and raised a bit, didn't you? We did, yes. Our aim this year is a million dollars across New Zealand and Australia. So, yeah, fingers crossed. We're only a few days in, and New Zealand are actually doing really, really well. Because we love a funky sock. Yes, and that's good. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Can I see? Can I see these socks? These are these, because... Oh, they're a kid. These are the ones for the kids. And we love that. Oh, these are kids socks. And then also comes in the blue smile.
Starting point is 00:15:55 See, I want the blue ones. They look real. They're funky. There are clown feet though. Yeah, he's got... All you and they're full. They're size 12. Adult.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Okay, lovely. No worries. Because he can't be Chuck Taylor's because it literally looks like he's... I look like Ron McDonnell. They do. They do. I can't do it. I mean, we're on radio, but if I may describe,
Starting point is 00:16:13 their happiness in sock form. Yes, they are. got these florals with lilac and pink and yellow. We've got happy faces on the blow. It's so good. So any chemist warehouse you can go to buy these. 100% of the proceeds go to Starship Foundation. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Thanks to you. Amazing. Well, thank you so much, Nicole, for coming in, sharing your socks and the great message and, I mean, donate in general. But also, pop into chemist warehouse, get yourself a pair of these awesome socks. Thank you. Thank you. The ZM podcast Network.

Starting point is 00:22:52 It's so silly, silly, silly that silly little poll, if public transport was free, would you use it more often? I've decided if I could get public transport from my place to work at 4 o'clock of the morning, I'd 100% be taking this day now. I mean, there's a lot of people listening now that, you know, already probably at work
Starting point is 00:23:19 or have been up for a while, it's just not possible. And it doesn't reach everywhere. Yeah. Well, yesterday, for Melbourneians, for Victoria. Melbourneites. public transport Melbians Melbians
Starting point is 00:23:32 Public transport free until for a month end of April April 30 Well that's great We're gonna be there For a good couple of weeks Yeah well the trains
Starting point is 00:23:42 The trains to trans Imagine if this was the state of Victoria's Public April Fool's joking Well no because it started No it started yesterday Right So it's not like hasn't been announced
Starting point is 00:23:53 Today and also Tasmania have made it free as well Public Transport And there have been calls here as well Like people's saying, instead of giving like a few people $50, why don't you just make like all the public transport free and pay for that? Yeah. You often say, I mean, like peak hours you'll see a crammed bus.
Starting point is 00:24:10 She's harmon. But you'll often see empty buses going around. But I definitely have friends that have like changed their habits. Yeah. And they work in 9 to 5 and it's easy for them to take the train or the bus. Or a day at home or carpooling. Totally. Well, this is today's question for silly little poll.
Starting point is 00:24:26 If public transport is free, would you use it more often? and 62% of people said yes, 38% of people still said no. It's hard though because I think of where I grew up in New Plymouth, like the bus routes are like pretty thin. Yeah. They're not that popular because it's, you know, it's just easier to drive. And you factor in more time to like drive to a bus stop and then walk to this thing. Whereas people are like, I want to drive to a.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Whereas in biggest cities, the routes are everywhere. You can easily get a bus or a train. Yeah, Kailra. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, some feedback on this.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Luke said, yeah. And would also use it if it goes over long. weekends, but standard trains are not going over Easter and Anzac weekends. Yeah, well, they've got to get ready for the city rail loop. But there will be replacement buses. Rail buses. Yeah. Which aren't on the rails, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, that's misleading, isn't it? Because you thought they went on the rails. Melbourne-based listener here, says Kelsey. Having free public transport has already changed our plans for Easter and work travel for the next month. Car stays in the garage and we only go places that we can get to on public transport. Better living, everybody.
Starting point is 00:25:28 So is there fuel more expensive than ours? Or they're just not used to having expensive fuel, right? Because they're normally way cheaper than us anyway. Right. Yeah. Americans are the ones that aren't used to be paying much for their fuel. They're having a real tantee. Pruti says, of course, what M-Earth were out there doesn't want to save money in this time.
Starting point is 00:25:47 And this crunch. Yeah. This cosy living cry. I did see Maddie Maclean taking the train, maybe regretting moving halfway to Hamilton. Did we say? We did say, didn't we? We did say you're living in the middle of nowhere. We did say that.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Busy social life such as yours working in the city already. Did we say? We did say. Guys, please don't. Give Maddie too much grief. He's still rebelling in the fact he didn't feed me enough of this wedding. You know that was coming. I was like, says the guy.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I was about to say what? Okay. Says McLean's biggest bully, Vaughn Smith. He likes it, though. I neg him. He likes it a bit, eh? He does love being neg by daddy. 96, 96, did that make you uncomfortable?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Do you want to be nigged by Daddy? Yeah, no, don't do that again. No, no. Gianna says, no, it doesn't feel as safe as a woman walking to and from the bus. It doesn't feel safe as a woman to walk to and from the bus stop in the dark. Yeah, fair to all get it. You're a get up earlier. Renee said my car takes 98 and I'm overfilling it.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I'm overfilling it up each week. I drove past a 98 service station on the way to work this morning, and it was. Is 98 more expensive than 95? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's another 10 cents. Can you just put 90-wise? Can you put 91 in and just, who cares? I want to know what kind of car Renee's drive it. High-performance vehicle.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Sounds European. I was going to say. Who sounds European? Well, like high-performance Japanese. Yes, maybe an Aldi. Could be an L-D. Emma said no, but only because I have a one-year-old who would definitely not sit still on the bus and look windows. Yeah, but that makes you tough.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I looked plenty of windows in bus seats. All those windows are looking, lucky, lucky, lucky. Yeah. Kids love public transport. I used to take my kids on Public Transport as like rewards for like potty training and stuff Yeah, it's good stuff
Starting point is 00:27:32 Love it! Love a bus, because you know what's on the bus? Boys! No, Haley. Wheels! Wheels on the bus. Sorry. They're round and round. There are boys on the bus.

Starting point is 00:27:53 I, they said, love public transport, we'll use that or cycle every single day. No way am I sitting in a car, burning money and polluting when I could be exercising and getting to work at the same time. Yeah, Kiora, that's great. Kura. Kira.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Big Kiora. Katie said, I live in Melbourne where they've made public transport free for a month, and as great as it is, I really don't think it will encourage people to use it more because you're either using it or you're not. I need to drive to work because I also need to drive to our clients. Right, yeah, yeah. Fair cool, but hopefully if you're driving a client's,
Starting point is 00:28:22 works paying for gas. Yeah, and then I guess less people on the road, so you'll use less fuel maybe. So it all kind of works out, doesn't it? True dat. Maybe, says Gabby, I usually have 100 things to take with me and have to be in too many places at specific times. I'm not actually sure public transport would work for me. Until I'm retired, of course, and have all the time in the world. Also, I live in Tohonga and yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Yeah. It's hard in some cities. It is not built for public transport. Baye Plentygoo is getting a lot better with the public transport. Because Tauranga's got terrible traffic. Oh, terrible. Terrible traffic. Terrible traffic.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Surely we'll be able to hover car soon. Hover above everyone else? Hover, yeah. Oh, I thought you mean hovercrafts. Oh, that'd be great too. Across the harbour there, yeah, that'd be nice. In Tohunga. It would take two buses in over 40 minutes for me to travel less than 15 kilometres,
Starting point is 00:29:11 so surely empty buses are better for the environment, right? Mm. Mm. Hmm. Mm. We don't know. Lachlan, I have a work car. Okay, Lachlan.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Okay, Lachlan. Let's rub it in. What four radio presenters? Used to happen. Really? Well, I know a few back of the day. Oh, crazy. One of the ZDem Thunders, people keep opening my boot
Starting point is 00:29:33 and looking for a bloody protein bar or something. Oh, you wouldn't want to be driving one. I don't have any energy drinks. For any freebies? No, you wouldn't want to be driving a station car the way you drive with your horn use and your fingers. Yeah, I'm aggressive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I'm aggressive. And I'm messy. Marie said, I live rural. It wouldn't help because I'd still need to drive. to the bus stop and once I've driven I might as well I'll just keep driving to where I want to go right. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't work. If you live rural, get on the horse.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Got it. Tied up for the whole day at the trade station. Yeah, the horse is just like, I'm so bored. I'm giving some oats. It'll be alright.

Starting point is 00:30:18 Flash, Foran and Haley. Do you know what I've got? I've got a little treat for at Carwin-Reeds, And I'll tell you what probably in time at Fletch listens. Oh, okay. If you don't know, Carwin, Produce Carwin has a book talk, bookgram. Mm-hmm. Bookstagram. Bookstagram.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And Fletch and Retaliation, I'll say, has a audio bookstagram. Sorry, let me just cross to my social media manager. How is my Instagram going? Let me just check on that. Get some stats on that. Am I, have I called up to Carwin reads? No, no, no. But you're in your infancy.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And we're doing a natural build. But Carwin bought her followers. No, I didn't. From Russia. Shots fired. 759 followers as of right now. Okay, well, Fletch listens on Instagram if you want some recommendations of great audio books. Probably time for another post.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah, I was going to say, can I just give some feedback as a follower of both pages? Yeah. When I go to At Carwin reads, it's so varied. She's got interviews. She's got book recommendations. She does lists. She does reviews on yours, which I think Vaughan's going to. to do another one.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It's just the same photo. A little bit like you're listening. Just the same photo of you just sort of like listening. Oh look, he's like, I'm laughing. I'm laughing. Okay. It's just the same photo every time. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And you never say what you're listening to. Yeah, I know, well, listening. Listen to this. Listening. Listening to news. Listening to Haley on Aheart Radio. Can still. No, he only gets to audio books.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yeah. It's box. Listen to news that I can soon be listening. Yeah, great. This is great. So it's like a semi-soft launch of the book. To a at Channing...
Starting point is 00:31:58 I'm going to tag at Channing Tatum. Okay, yeah, love this. He'll reshare. He'll reshare. For sure. And then I'll beat Carlin reads and followers. I love that. So what's he done?
Starting point is 00:32:08 So great. So what he's done, Channing Tatum is co-writing a horny wee novel with the author of bad feminist Roxanne Gay. Okay. Don't laugh at the way.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Did you hear the GZ They laughed when we said gay What are you, millennials in the 90s? It's just the thought of being this gay No, with Roxanne Glu That's her name Do you reckon they did that when they called her up for assembly?
Starting point is 00:32:38 They were like, Roxanne Goo! So, Channing Tatum Gay Roxanne. Yeah, and they're like, oh, we can't say that, miss. So Channing Tatum's writing smart basically. Do we know if he's a good writer?
Starting point is 00:32:55 No, no one cares. She is. She is. She is. Bad Feminist is a great book. Yeah. But they've said that it's going to be about people that make one of those like, when we turn 40 we should get married, packed. Which is classic. Which is going to be hot because if if he said to me when we turn 40
Starting point is 00:33:10 let's get married, I'd be like, I'm just not going to date anyone till then. I also love it that it's like, the plot follows two people who made it. If we're both single at 40, let's marry each other packed, they actually go through with them fall in love. That's the kind of basic premise there. But I love that the characters are going to be 40
Starting point is 00:33:28 because often you listen to these smart books and it's like, I left university and I went to it and you're like, I can't relate to you. I can't stand anything less than when a book is like two 18-year-olds. Or they're 23, but they're acting like they're 16. I want some thin skin on the chest. You know what I mean? I'm getting really thin.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I'm getting that crapey sort of inner skin on the upper tip. You want a bit of sag. So the co-author Roxanne Goate describes it as a voluntary arranged marriage with lots and lots of sex in a bakery. In a bakery? You know, that's a food preparation area. Sorry, tell the council. Yeah, that's going to get you a D food rating. I've actually just investigated.
Starting point is 00:34:10 He's written a children's series, and so he is a number one New York Times best seller. Plenty of those skills will go into this book. Yeah, wow. Okay. Yeah, so Spark Aller was the children's picture book trilogy. he released in 2021. They've been working on this book. It's been in development since 2017.

Starting point is 00:39:04 It's been less of tears of tears. It's not been happy. As opposed to, yeah, filling out the car and crying at the sheer shock of the price. Shay, what are you going to do with that thousand bucks? I probably pay my son's football fees. Oh, dude. Do you reckon he's got a future in football? He's bloody better.

Starting point is 00:39:59 faces censure. So apparently, like from the tri- you know, from the teacher's tribunal. Booted. Well, um... Warned, stood down. Yeah. Slapped on the wrist.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So a teacher that wanted to readjust and reset during school holidays was in desperation on the last day to finish, um, the school term. Awarded grades to students that they had not earned. Far out. They, apparently this included giving the same achieved grade to 23 students in his year 10 class across three separate modules. Oh, year 10. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:34 It doesn't matter. And so just was like, yep, and then go home. End the term. So achieved as like the basic sort of, is just a pass. But year 10, you're not, the NCAA results don't actually matter yet. You're kind of pre-examined, you know. I'm not condoning it. It's peak lazy.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Also, we all know what it's like when you need that. Also, yeah, something I would do at work. You know what I made? You know, like, it's a like, I feel like. Not here, not here at ZM. This is why I always, I was a bit worried about having a surgery on a Friday, because like, you don't, oh, they're statistically proven as it. And they get a bit of the accident. The doctor's like, oh, I've got to get, I've got to get down to the badge, you know, quit, quit.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I mean, they're not like that. And my surgery was fine. But, you know, you just, you think about things like this. Especially like, you're scheduled for 4pm Friday that, no, I'm not. Yeah, exactly. 4 p.m. on a Friday. No, I'm not. But, like, you know, the last day, Fridays, the last day of holidays before you go away.
Starting point is 00:41:32 There's no mahy happening. It's just the last hour of work. You're like, eh, eh. Four to five or standard nine to five, are you? Just pottering around. Like this teacher, I wanted if we could ask the question this morning. What could you just not be bothered with work? And maybe...
Starting point is 00:41:46 Cut a corner. You cut a corner. We're taking some shortcuts. Yeah. But that's human nature. It is. It's human nature. You did a bit of a check all.
Starting point is 00:41:55 You know what I mean? Yeah. Reply to all. Or like, I don't know, you've got many emails. Just control, alt, delete. Or you did a copy paste. Select all. They'll get back in touch with you if it's urgent.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I always think this sometimes. I wouldn't get sent a bill. I throw it out with the first one. I don't think you should be doing that. I did that recently and then the bill came back. Yeah. It was double. Well, wait until let's go double.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Oh, no, generally they'll chuck your red stamped one before they are. Yeah, or maybe I missed the red stamped one. I reckon you missed a red stampy. Well, we'd love to take your calls. 0800 dials at em as the number. You can text through 9-696. When could you just not be bothered at work? And you took a shortcut.
Starting point is 00:42:30 He took a little shortcut. Cut a few corners. Okay, so we want to know when you've taken a little shortcut at work because you just couldn't be bothered. You're over it. A teacher has just awarded a whole lot of NCEA passes because it was the end of term and wanted to go on holiday. But naughty our listeners, and I love that about you.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I love it. I love it. Claire joins us. Claire, when could you not be bothered at work? What did you do? Kiyoda. When I would go on leave, I used to put an out-in-office message on saying that when I get back, I'm not going to read any of my emails that email me again.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And then when I get back from leave, I just delete all my email. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I love that a lot, actually. I love it, yeah. I shall be deleting them. It's like when people have a phone, voicemail greeting, and it's like, don't leave a message. I'm not going to listen to it.

Starting point is 00:43:36 I'm talking about. And you called us. This involves talking to people, three of us. Well, yeah. So what I did was I changed my shift to work 9pm till 7am. So maybe now I get one call across a whole week and I don't have to deal with it. How do you even do that as a travel agent? Do you get paid by the hour?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Yeah. Oh, okay. So you're just working on other things that don't involve you. dealing with people. Yeah, so I just reply to everybody else's emails. Oh, lovely. And then everybody asks him, pack it all up during the day. That is so good.

Starting point is 00:45:07 What do you do for a job? I drive metro. Metro. I'm in Hungary. The bus. The bus. So when you can't be bothered picking up people, you just put the sign on saying not service.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Not really. Just not really. Just where we're sitting at the bus depots on their layovers, you know, instead of just taking a bit of time out, you know. Yeah, because otherwise. I think I like Graham a lot. Otherwise, the drivers do this in Auckland when they haven't officially started. They just want a bit of time out.
Starting point is 00:45:34 They'll shut the door and put it. Yeah. I get that. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, because everyone wants to come over and ask you, which, where's this bus go, blah, blah, blah. Most time we help the long ago, but every day. Sorry, Graham needs a job and talk back radio. You've got a great talk back radio, voice, Graham.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, no, I just add Zad off now. So I just thought, well, if you've got to call me up, I'd better pull over.

Starting point is 00:47:36 as a teacher, we are using AI to do feedback on essays. So much more detailed. And this way, I don't even have to read them. Yeah. Amazing. Which is great. Sorry, so many people messaging being like,
Starting point is 00:47:47 you've got to go and do a show on Graham's bars. I am. People are loving him. A med student here regarding doctors on Friday. Apparently they're the happiest on Friday. and there has been a link in a study between happy doctors equal good doctors. Yeah, okay. So maybe it's not, you know, be worried about.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I have noticed Dr. Shawnee will be very happy if we're drinking on a Friday and he's not working. Yeah, because he's not at work. Yeah, no, that's different. That's because he's got the day off and you're having some margaritas. Also, when he's not working on Thursdays and every other Monday. He's always happy. You're upset him. I'm a teacher aide and the teacher in my class is always taking shortcuts all the time
Starting point is 00:48:22 and I'm left to pick up the slack. Keep wanting to say no, but actually I care about the kids. Oh, that's nice. That's good. but, you know, teacher aid, you might be, like, relatively new to it. Give yourself a few years. Until the sheen wears off. They'll wear you down.

The Z&M Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Here's a brilliant thing to remember next time you're in the kitchen and you're feeling
Starting point is 01:17:59 uninspired. Nachos are a concept, not a dish. Okay. So nachos are a concept meaning it's a template. You can change the parts that make it up. Exactly. So you've got your corn chips, your mints, your sour cream, your guac, right? Or cheese.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Yeah, it pulls lots of savories. That's your kind of thing. You were about to tell me about sweet nachos. I am my brother. I don't know. Eastern nachos. I don't know, then. Eastern nachos.
Starting point is 01:18:27 On the bottom, we're putting a salty, thick chip. I'm thinking a snack of changy's salted chip. Okay. That's got to be neutral, though. That's what I mean salted. That's got to be really salted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That can't be salt and vinegar or barbecue or anything.
Starting point is 01:18:43 Even sour cream and chives. It can't be that. It's got to be fully neutral. Or pre and Clint's hot honey chips. No, it won't work for that. I want to support our friends. I want to support them in this. It's not appropriate for this.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Okay, it's not like... No, okay. You could put, what about... You could put a digestive biscuit. Or a crispy. A wine biscuit. No, like a super wine. Super wine.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so that's on the bottom. It is weird how sitting down and eating a bag of biscuits would be absolutely like, I've been so naughty. But if you sit down and ate a bag of chips, you're like, that's what they're for. That's what I'm going to have, like, three. Okay, so on that, then we're going to melt some chocolate. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Put it over. That's our nacho cheese. That is your like tomato base Like a pizza That's your base That's your base Where no no no That's your yeah
Starting point is 01:19:23 Hold on just one minute Haley Fletch Tell your natcho cheese chow She'll like that She does comedy So I put So you get in the chocolate That's your nacho cheese

Starting point is 01:20:05 Try some different accents. Yeah. Wow. Okay, so you chocolate is your nachol cheese. Oh, don't say that. Oh, for God's sake, you've abandoned me in my hour of need. Then your mince. You're not put a mince.
Starting point is 01:20:17 mince on it. What we're crumbling up for Easter mini Easter eggs. A bit of a rocky road medley, shall we say. You know, your chocolates and whatnot. Kind of like a chakutory board meets nachos. Yeah, right. Because natures is a concept not a dish. Yeah, dessert board. Do you bake it? No, no, no, no, no. The chocolate's melted as you put it on as the natcho chasing place. Oh, you put on liquid chocolate? Could you put
Starting point is 01:20:38 on some of that uh, uh, that spread that the kids are going wild for? The Dubai, uh, pistachio. Yeah, that would be pretty on. Yeah, yeah, you could. That would pop off. But I'm like, what else could we, like... What about wheat, uh, wheat books? Oh, get out.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Yuck. Okay, I'll leave. Sorry. Um, what's that? Biscop. Biscop. This would be amazing with Biscop biscuits. But I'm like, if Nachos is just the template, this has opened up my whole world.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Yeah. But you could do an Asian one, like, now we're talking. Puffed up prawn crackers on the bottom. Uh-huh. Or puffed up wanton skins, you know, deep fried. Like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:15 And then you could go a porky Asian mince. on top? Like that? Oh yeah. And then your drizzle like a hoisten or something? Can I,
Starting point is 01:21:22 can I take the next, can I take the next flight from, I don't know I feel like we might be in Thailand or Vietnam there? Can we take a flight to Dubai, not Dubai,
Starting point is 01:21:30 New Delhi? We could do Indian nachos. Okay, so what are we got on the base? Well, those, Popadoms. Popatoms. Yeah. Popperoms is the base.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Bata chicken on top. Or like a curry sauce on top. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit. Not too much. Corrienda, Corrienda.
Starting point is 01:21:46 But of your ice. A bit of yoga. Yeah, yeah, yeah. International nachos. International nachos. This could be what heals the world. We could do Nacho week. Not for the fact of the day.
Starting point is 01:21:57 Just we could do Nacho week. And every night for dinner, we'll, we make a nacho. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. Because you could do a nacho. You could do an Italian nacho. But it would just be a lois. Yeah, that's a nacho, nach.
Starting point is 01:22:09 No, no. Do you joke? No, that's not. You're nacho. It's a nacho, nacho. That's better. I just say, Is a not your nacho cheese.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Yeah, you know what I mean. You know what I mean. It's a nacho cheese. The ZRAM Podcast Network. Well, there's been a trend online where Gen Z and millennials, and I'm guessing Gen X as well, because they're below boomers. Yeah. Are sharing their boomer.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Boomer opinions. That they agree with. The ones that you're like, I'm a woke, modern, young person in this world. However. Yes. Yes. I do think. insert opinion here.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Yeah, I mean, are we opening up a door here? I'm a little bit nervous. I've just Googled a list of Burma opinions. Okay, go. So if you're thinking right now, you're sitting there and you're like, I don't agree with any Burma's opinions. Okay, go. Avocado toast is why young people can't afford houses.
Starting point is 01:23:01 You don't need a gym membership. You just need to do some yard work. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Nothing beats a good steak cooked well done. I will punch anyone that calls up and says that. Coffee should be black. It's not a dessert with a lid. That's more.
Starting point is 01:23:15 That's mine. It's yours. When it's two. No, boomers love a bloody, what do they get? A bowl. A bowl latte. But it's not sweet. No, see, I think it's the Gen X's.
Starting point is 01:23:27 The more the bowl latte. I don't reckon boomers would go out for coffee. No. They do love going out, though. Fast food was better when it was actually fast. Just walk in and ask for a job. That's how it's done. Nobody wants to work anymore.
Starting point is 01:23:47 You should stay at a company for 30 years. A firm handshake tells you everything about a person. Yeah, totally agree. That's a good one. I agree. If we made that time and it was the limpest little custard handshake. But also like how you... I recently had a fishy handshake and I was like, no, not for me.
Starting point is 01:24:02 Or just like even how you carry yourself. Like I saw someone the other day's moping around. I was like... Yeah. Look at you. With their hoodie sleeves put over the head. Arms, shoulders back. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Shoulders back, boy. Am I a boomer? Like, walk properly. If you can't afford it, don't buy it? Hallelujah. Oh, unless it's a house. Do you know what I mean? The things that are coming up, you have to pay for it.
Starting point is 01:24:22 You'll deal with that on the day. Paying someone else to mow your lawns is pure laziness. Oh. Work should feel hard. It's called work for a reason. Oh, I hate that. Okay, well, that's got the ball rolling. Is there a boomer opinion that you agree with?
Starting point is 01:24:36 And obviously, you're not a boomer. Below boomer age, if you're listening. Is there a boomer opinion that you agree with? Maybe you don't let yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe you don't let yourself leave the table until your plate's clear. You tell your partner was no pudding Go to your room, you have it cold
Starting point is 01:24:51 Imagine doing that a no pudding rule With your partner, that's not lasting long Well someone said I believe that millennials are too sensitive Oh, Gen Z's too sensitive No, we're the last of the You literally cried yesterday When I called you a name Yeah, but it was Fannie Bumba
Starting point is 01:25:08 That's right Fannie Bum Bum No, I'll do it again Okay, 9-6-96-text in 0,800 dials it in What's the boomer opinion that you agree with? Do you share a boomer opinion? You know, you're a younger generation. You consider yourself progressive and all such.
Starting point is 01:25:27 But every now and then you're like, they did have a point when they said participation trophies are ruining a generation. Yeah. I actually do share that boomer opinion. You very much. We just can't all be winners. No.
Starting point is 01:25:42 That's a thing. I would say soft and quiet, was it quiet parenting or soft parenting, where they just kind of let their kids do whatever they want? That's a no-go. And that's a very popular one people are messaging in.
Starting point is 01:25:52 Then I think about how happy old bloody Haley here was when she got her medal for not winning that 8K race. Around the base. You were so happy when you got a medal. Hung it up on my wall, yeah. Start of a very small collection of only one.
Starting point is 01:26:06 But you literally lost. Like thousands of people beat you in that race. No, I was actually in the top third. wasn't I? Yeah, but you lost by thousand people did it. Yeah, and I wasn't the loser.
Starting point is 01:26:22 I think the second third and the third third, no medal, completely agree, piss take. But the top third of which high was a part. Should get a medal. Absolutely, we've trained our asses off. We couldn't even finish it.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yeah. Children should be seen and not heard as ringing bells in my head. That was always, I got told this all the time when I was a child out with my parents. Probably why my mother thinks I run a pirate ship with my kids Because they are both seen and heard And heard So you don't agree with that opinion though
Starting point is 01:26:51 Then? No My boomer take is when people say their job is boring I say your job isn't there to entertain you It's there to make money to be entertained However you choose Now do your boring job I sort of agree
Starting point is 01:27:01 Like we don't all get to have a fun job Just ask This isn't just like you Wanting the two thirds And the third thirds Not to get a medal Just because you're Very boomer of you
Starting point is 01:27:11 To have an opinion that suits you but the others. Yeah. Yeah, a bit of a nimbie situation, a bit of a pulling the ladder up behind you deal going on there. Almost feels like I need to change my vote, the party that I vote for. It's almost like not aligning with how I live.
Starting point is 01:27:26 No. Everything was fine before the internet. Somebody messaged in. Which it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. It was a horrendous thing. But it certainly is causing a lot of problems.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Yeah. You know, amplifying the problems. Drink some water and walk it off. We didn't have allergies back in my day. Oh, yeah? Yeah, just rumbly guts that you just put up with, eh? Yeah, IBS wasn't a thing. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 01:27:54 You've just eaten too much. Too many people are on, too many medications. Somebody messaged in. That's the way they say, oh, there was an autism back in the day. And then I think about what my grandad was like. I was like, there there was. Oh, my God, 100%. They totally was.
Starting point is 01:28:09 What happened to common sense? It's not very common these days. Yeah. Be a call. Ah. There are too many holidays now. I don't agree with that. I don't agree.
Starting point is 01:28:17 We need more holidays. I think every Friday should be a holiday. Crime's way worse than it used to be, even when statistics say otherwise, booms are always like crime was never this bad. But it was. Yeah. You just didn't hear about it.
Starting point is 01:28:29 We just get to see it all the time. Yeah. Not to have to pick up the paper. No one knows how to drive anymore. Absolutely loving the lack of racism in our text machine. It's great, isn't it? I haven't seen any racism on our text machine. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 01:28:44 Yeah. Because when we did ask this question, that was my initial thought was, oh-oh. What's your boomer opinion? When it comes down a question. We had a stand-up comedy used to be funny
Starting point is 01:28:53 before everybody got so sensitive. Oh, okay, yep. Reality TV is rotting people's brains. I agree, yeah. Shut up. Literally maths was so good last night. Movies don't have proper endings anymore. Movies it?
Starting point is 01:29:09 Music these days is just noise. Oh. No one writes. letters anymore and that's a shame. That's so expensive to send a letter. You know I wrote a big note, a big note, an A4 size note to the neighbours saying there's Reno's happening. Yeah. And it was real hard to do like so much handwriting. It heard say. Oh, you hand wrote it? Yeah, I hand wrote it on a printer. Because I don't have the printer here. I don't have the printer here. I don't have the printer at home. Had you packed up your printer at home? I thought you had a printer at home.
Starting point is 01:29:38 No, Haley's got a printer at home. I also have a printer at home. I used it yesterday. I don't know that posh. I don't have a print. I don't need to print anything. I just stole a ream of paper from the stationary cupboard for my printer at home. I'm just saying we don't say it out loud when we take some paper home. A few different things we don't say out. I didn't steal a room of paper, but I've got a printer at home. That's better. Play that ends, Flesh, Forne and Haley.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Well, great news. Fletch wet the bed last. This is a way funny story. This is a way funny story. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah. Science are going to make it so long fingernails can use touchscreen. No.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Okay, look, the story just... If your fingernails are that long, they look, Stupid. Okay. Science is working on a paint-on substance that will go on your long nails. It will make it like a stylus. Yeah, yeah, cute.
Starting point is 01:30:25 So you'll be able to touch screens and also your smartphone without having to... Blah, blah, blah, blah. Fletch with the bed last night. You sent us a video from a laundromat at like 4 o'clock this morning. So I'm going to... So on my to-do list today is doing my sheets
Starting point is 01:30:40 because I'm going away. Just piss the bed. Don't be embarrassed, man. people have accidents. Sometimes without hours. Like I went to bed quite early last night. I woke up and it was... You're really, you're so tired.
Starting point is 01:30:51 So tired early, you don't wake up. You're full of water because you're so hydrated. Without hours, it can be difficult to know when to stop drinking water and when to pee. So I woke up at 3.30 and I was like, well, you know what? I'm just going to go to the laundromat, which by the way, there's a guy that's taken to sleeping there now. That's his home. I've been to that laundromat with you before and it is a lovely warm. It's a lovely warm.
Starting point is 01:31:11 It's a lovely. Yeah. I went to the laundromat. last weekend. And I've got to say the smell rules. I love it. It's just good for sheets because they dry in 20 minutes.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Yeah, especially the frequency in which you're pissing the bed. I will say the reason I went over... I know you're washing them before you just straight put them in the dryer. Because they're that nice scent and the laundromat is just going to be dry piss. It's going to ring around it. The reason I did my sheets is because I don't have to do them after work. I've already done them because I woke up and I had the time. I didn't piss the bed.
Starting point is 01:31:39 I didn't piss the bed. I didn't put the bed. I didn't know. I miss the bed. What are you guys saying? I've met you. If we got to your house, you've got the windows open and the mattress standing up on.
Starting point is 01:31:47 The windows are open, but the mattress is... As someone who wet the bed till nine, I want you to know that you don't need to be ashamed. I haven't pissed the bed. Okay, so you've pissed the bed. You're going to sleep in the streets tonight. You're going to sleep in the streets tonight. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:01 But they'll only have one sleep in them. Oh, yeah, yeah, as opposed to, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, you don't do anything else in the sheets tonight, then you've gone to all this effort. No, exactly. No, fun times. No, fun times.
Starting point is 01:32:12 No, no more beds. Clean shape. Well no, because our house sitter's got to have the... Maybe he had a guest and they pissed the minute. Oh, no. Nobody has pissed the bed. Somebody's pissed the bed. But what about what you saw on the floor at the laundromat?
Starting point is 01:32:25 Well, yeah, there was... This is why I sent the video on the group chat. There was a bag of druggies or an empty bag of drugs with residue. And I was like... And the laundromat. I mean, if you were going to do drugs. If you've got the money for drugs, you've got the money to... But washing the shit.
Starting point is 01:32:40 If you know what I reckon happened is someone had it in their pocket, and they were emptying out their clothes. Oh. Well, they were putting their clothes in. Shaking the thing. Yeah, and they haven't seen it on the ground. I mean, I guess the glacier didn't go through the wash. But, yeah, that was.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Or it might have? I don't know. Funny. I've had a tissue or a receipt in my pocket when it's gone through the wash. Oh, my God, constantly. I've had to put, like, washing back in the machine after a tissue, and it still didn't get all the tissue off. No, you wash them, like, four times,
Starting point is 01:33:06 and then you've got to wash it as a singular item. And did you know you shouldn't wash microfiber towels or standard towels? Why? Because they, all the lint. get from the other towels, get stuck to the, I only found this out when I was, what are you tramping?
Starting point is 01:33:17 No, I use a, I go bed, pisser, calm down. Let's all brag off the aggression here. Well, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want a towel that soaks up anything. He wants to use a microfiber towel. I used it to drive the, I wash my car at the weekend,
Starting point is 01:33:29 I used it to dry the ride, okay. But it previously had been washed with a load of towels and it had just got all the lint from all the towels. Oh, what a mess. That's just a bit of the PSA. Just a PSA there if you are washing sheets. Otherwise known as a pisser. If you like today's podcast, tell your friends.
