The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Hi everybody and welcome to the Big Pod. Just a short announcement before we get into the Big Pod. You may notice it's a little bit smaller in run time today. That is because a large portion, unfortunately, of the podcast at the end of the show, the live radio show, was taken up with a shooting incident, a police incident in the central Auckland area.

Yeah, not too far from our studios. We were never in danger, but it is just down the road. And so good old radio has to step up and do like live updates and avoid the area and all that sort of stuff. We wanted to see TikTok do that, huh? We wanted to do some fun dating trends and whatnot, you know. Yeah, well, you wanted to talk about the blankets, didn't you? I wanted to talk about the blankets. That'll be in tomorrow's podcast.

That'll be tomorrow. That's the sort of hot content that'll get bumped. Well, it just seems a bit silly, doesn't it, to talk about couples having separate blankets when people are dead. Yeah, give it all away. So we've just chosen to exclude that just because most of the info will be out of date or not really necessary. Not that fun, no.

You want to listen to us have a good time, laugh out louder? Here it is. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. A breakfast beer? Sure. A breakfast beer. During the Rugby World Cup.

It'll be allowed. It's got to be a Guinness or a Kilkenny. Those are the best breakfast beers. Because you feel like, yeah, you're getting a bit more than just beer. Will you be allowed a breakfast mojito? Like an Aperol? What about a breakfast espresso martini? Because that's coffee.

I think they're just like letting the liquor licenses happen during the games, right? Yes. That's kind of the gist of it. Yeah. But, I mean, it is a football cup of bold of anybody to turn up to work first. Oh, I wouldn't dream of that. Bold, bold. Regardless of the sporting event,

I think bold. Yes. In these uncertain times. Yeah, yeah. Coming up on the show, I mean, there was news yesterday inflation's come down a little bit. Still pretty bad, though.

Still pretty bad. Still 6%. Still, but still, I guess that's better than going up. Getting in the right direction. Yeah, but the cost of living crisis is biting. There's some, I thought, some shocking news. Yeah, possums are back on the menu, baby.

What do you mean back on the menu? Well, I remember there was a stage of my teen years where people were talking about, why aren't we eating possums? Don't they have TB? They do spread tuberculosis. What do they taste like? I can ask, I've never eaten a possum. What do they taste like? I can also...

I've never eaten a possum. Would they be a kitty too? They'd be like a... What would they be like? What do possums taste like? Well, we don't eat any other marsupials, do we? Earthy, umami, dark game meat. Oh, umami.

That is not me. I love a little umami though. I love umami, but like dark game meat? Maybe that's why these people were eating it in a curry. Similar to rabbit and squirrel. Okay, no. Higher fat percentage, though. You're looking at an American possum, though.

Am I? You're looking at an opossum. Well, what are our possums? Our Australian possums. Would surely be similar. Oh, what is New Zealand? Similar to squirrel, rabbit, same. People are going out and hunting them and eating them

because meat is so expensive at the supermarket. Possum meat is a great source of protein, around 241% of your daily value in one pound. Bruh. Bruh. Gains. Gains, bruh. Absolute gains.

Bruh. Well, I've got the top six possum recipes that you can try this possum season. Possum season's year round too. That's the good thing as well. You don't have to wait for May for duck shooting to get some duck on your plate. You can get that possum season. Possum season's year round too. That's the good thing as well. You don't have to wait for May for duck shooting. You get some duck on your plate,

you can get that possum any time. Also coming up, the show sponsor have announced some new sources for the nugs. We need to talk about this. I'm frothing. Knowing full well I will be nugging this weekend.

You'll be nugging this weekend. I will be nugging this weekend. Well, we've got an event on Saturday. Sunday nugs. Probably Saturday night nugs and some Sunday nugs. And some night nugs and some Sunday nugs. And some breakfast nugs as well, yeah. Also, your chance to be expense-free for the rest of 23,

all thanks to One Roof Property. Listen up for the activator. It is going to play before 7. We've got a chance before 7 on the show, so be listening out for that to go in the draw. That is right. But first, we head to the legal world. There has been a ruling made,

and it makes me a ruling made. And it makes me a bit sad. It is the future, I guess. It's next. Now, I don't know if we talked about this, but I've been reading about it. There was a case in Canada where a supplier of goods had confirmed they were going to deliver the goods with a thumbs up emoji on a text and then failed to do the goods. And then someone was like, hey, you confirmed it, took it to court.

And the court ruled that yes, that was a binding agreement. The thumbs up emoji. Does that mean one of the oldest binding agreements? Yeah. Does that mean if you go One of the oldest binding agreements. Yeah. Stubbly. Does that mean if you go and buy something in an appliance store and tick up a loan or whatever, buy a house, you can just... And they're like, are you going to pay it back? You'd be like...

Thumbs up emoji, like sign it. I got you. Thumbs up. You know now you can electronically sign a lot of forms and, you know, you've got your signature saved. Could you just do a thumbs up? I don't know. Maybe.

Yeah, selfie. At the bottom of each contract, selfie of you doing a thumbs up would be fun. Yeah. Anyway, so now Australians are being warned that this could very much spread to Australia. Now, they're saying that it's not a completely binding thing. Like, there'll be questions asked. Yeah. But when it's quite straightforward like this, where the text that was sent was said, like,

please confirm Flax contract or whatever the contract was. And then the thumbs up, you know, so it was quite clear that he was agreeing. That says, yep. Please confirm. Yep. Thumbs up. I mean, that's a yes, isn't it?

Yeah, totally. And now the supplier, like in the US, has to pay the person $131,000. Oh, wow. So, like, that's how binding it was. Okay, wow. And now, yeah, they're saying that when making a ruling, Australian courts can consider this as a legally binding.

So they could do that here as well, right? No doubt. Yeah, wow. No doubt. So just be careful if somebody's messaging you. Yeah, Patsy. Oh, my God. My mum, honestly.

No matter what. No matter what. I could tell her I was pregnant. The thing she probably wants most in the world Patsy. Oh, my God. My mum, honestly. No matter what. No matter what. I could tell her I was pregnant. The thing she probably wants most in the world, she'd be like, thumbs up. Thumbs up. Yeah. And you're like, call me later, question mark.

She's like, thumbs up. And then she doesn't call. And now you can sue her. It's a legally binding contract. Oh, fun. I taught mum the other day how to reply. Because she was like, how do you do the love heart on a WhatsApp message?

You know, if you just want to heart a message? Tap tap. You just hold it down and then you can select the emoji? On WhatsApp. Yeah, because mum's big on the WhatsApp. I don't think I heart too often on WhatsApp. It's just, you know, it's a good way of ending the conversation, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've had enough. Oh, people love to end a conversation with

just a heart to your last message. With just a heart to your last message or a thumbs up. It's just like, yep, that's cool. We don't need to be chatting anymore. So you can hold it or double tap it. Oh, you can double tap it. Yeah, right. Yeah, like, okay. Tap, tap.

It is good. It is. It's a nice easy way. And is she into it now? Oh, she's big into it now. Yeah, she's into it now. But this is a thing she'll never, ever have a conversation with you again.

She'll just, thumbs up. You'll be like, mum, terrible news. I'm unwell. Hearts. Double hearts. Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Legally binding as well Legally binding It turns out

I'll say thanks to Macca Download the MyMaccas app And earn rewards on your coffee And I'll say thank you to McCafe for just being who they are. Yeah, right. Yeah, great. For the people. Well, McDonald's are releasing a couple of sauces.

Then Rick and Morty made it by, do you remember that woman like traded a V-Dub or something for a single bottle of Szechuan sauce when it was like limited edition. It was like a Volkswagen Golf wasn't it? I think it was. Because to be honest, the sauce would be worth more.

Have you taken one of those things to a mechanic? Yeah, the parts. Yeah, expensive. So they are releasing the Szechuan sauce and also a new curry sauce. Oh, yeah? Are these limited time for the nugs? Or are these on the menu, baby? I believe limited time, yeah.

Oh, my God. Curry sauce I could get all about. Which, curry sauce, have you ever had in Germany, they do like a, it's like a ketchup curry sauce Like currywurst You get a sausage Yum Are you in Germany

I assume the sausages Are just added to everything Oh there's sauce everywhere In Germany It's a sausage fest It's a sauce fest It's a literal sausage festival What's that

Does it rain sausages Yeah it rains sausages They're flopping around everywhere When you go to pour a glass of water Out the tap Sausages Sometimes sausages come It's sausages

There's a sausage tap. Hot water, cold water, sausage. But that's like a, it's like a famous thing in Germany. It's like a curried ketchup. So I'm imagining that's similar.

I put in my baked beans and spaghetti, you know, the classic wadis, a little bit of curry powder. Yes. It'll change your life. What does your curry powder look like?

Is it the stuff in that little round bottle? It's in the... No, mustard is the yellow tin. Yeah, but I was thinking when you said that tin, I immediately saw a yellow thing and I thought it was... But that might be mustard. It's like Gregg's or Master Foods or one of those. Yeah, I can't remember where my curry powder's from

because I transfer it to a nice glass jar for aesthetics. For aesthetics. Oh, I do. Lovely. We didn't grow up with curry powder in the house. Didn't you? That's spicy. Not even on our camp.

Also, in Australia, one of the sauces they're releasing, the Outback Barbecue Sauce, which looks like... We've got barbecue. Yeah, but it looks like it's a bit... Look at that. It doesn't look like Outback, so it may be a bit more tomato-y. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And a bit more spicy. More Whitlock-y. Yeah. So... Rich chutney. Yeah, rich chutney. Rich chutney. It's 18 past six and you're up to date with Nugget Sauces,

the latest in sauces. We could totally do a sauce report. We could do a sauce report every day. When the sauce news comes. Every day. Comes to hand. Every day. I love sauce.

Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Tipping's not massive in New Zealand Apart from when Shanalette Pyjamas worked at an East Auckland bar And an old man used to say Sit down love and have a chat with me And then at the end of the night

They'd leave her a tip And she was like I was making good money I was like yeah you were being crept on They'd slap their thigh When they said sit down Yes And why don't you

Why don't you pull up a lap Why don't you pull up a knee Wild story, Shannon. Was it true you made more money then than you do here? I made more money in tips than I did in wages. I haven't compared it to here, but I would get at least 50, 100 a night tips, cash in the hand.

Wow. Cash, you say hand, but you mean down the cleavage, right? Yeah. It's true. I'll give you a tip. Yeah, they would say, I'll give you 20 for the service, or I'll give you 50 if the cleavage, right? Yeah. It's true. They would say, I'll give you 20 for the service, or I'll give you 50 if you let me put it in your pouch.

And I would say, come here. Dirty old man, eh? Oh, my God. But you know what? Make that money, honey. Like, I would absolutely want to. If I didn't feel uncomfortable. Yeah, it funded all my cruises. I was a happy gal.

And she's cruising. She's a wild girl. Pouch, you had Good times in East Auckland. She's a wild girl. Good times. Pouch, you had like a fanny pack. No, no, no. Like a waitress, you know, you have a little apron. Oh, like a, ooh. God, that covers the fanny.

See, I think you could turn, yeah, you could turn the fanny pack to the side, but then he's putting it down in the pouch. It's like, but normally there wouldn't be tips, right? Like you wouldn't tip when you go out, right? No. In New Zealand. Yeah, so I worked in that restaurant. That's where I made lots.

I worked in another restaurant and I would get maybe like 50 a week. So you'd get a little bit, but nowhere near as much. Yeah, right. Okay, was the other restaurant a bit posher? It was a Portofino. It was lovely. Oh, it is posh. My cousin worked on a cruise ship and she made a fortune.

She had to get family members. You know how you can bring $10,000 into the country, no questions asked? Every family member that went and saw her or she'd catch up with overseas, she'd give them like $9,998. I'd be like, could you just put that in the drawer or I'll sort it out when I get home.

I'd buy a couple of bottles at Duty Free as like a courier fee. Ladman fee, baby. A little kit bag. But tips are massive. Recently in LA, like tips, also very cheeky, and you experience this on your holiday as well. They'll include the tip in the bill,

and it's listed as like service fee or gratuity. Then at the bottom, they'll have an open thing where you can write in how much of a tip you want to leave when you've already left a tip. That's double tip. So if you're not reading the bill, you can end up tipping like more. So you've got to read it. But the thing is, and I'm not saying like you should try and get away with tipping in America.

You absolutely shouldn't. It's part of going to America. You've got to factor that in because the service industry, the people working as your waiter or behind the bar, they're earning like a base rate of nothing. Like it's a dollar or two dollars. It's so bad. All the money they make is on tips.

Yeah. That's what I didn't like about this time in America, everything was electronic. And I didn't know that those tips were going to that person who served me versus into a pool, which would be taxed. And then they'd be getting their tips. I wasn't sure. But anyway, I also experienced this. who served me versus into a pool, which would be taxed. And then they'd be given their tips. I wasn't sure. But anyway, I also experienced this. Someone asking for a tip or a computer asking for a tip

when there's been no interaction with a human. Yeah. Somebody has put online that they went to a self-serve checkout. Yeah. Scanned a few items. And then it said, would you like to leave a tip? It's like, I should get a tip. I did the mahi.

But wait, is the computer? Who's getting the tip? The computer? The AI. AI's starting to get money out of us. Yeah, the AI's going to spend it and then they're going to buy a house. So there was, the option was no tip, 15%, 18%, 20% or custom. Like you could just pop in how much you wanted to tip this computer.

At a self-serve checkout. At a self-serve checkout. At a self-serve checkout. The whole point. That's ridiculous. Yeah. Is that you're doing it? Yeah. Oh my God. I went to like a little takeaway thing and I said, oh, two slices of pizza and a person literally slid them into a box and put it on the thing and then I had to take care of all of the

rest of it. And it said at the end, would you like to leave a tip? Suggested 20 percent on the little tell us like you didn't do anything it was literally like they didn't even i don't even know if they talked to me they were right and i was like oh two slices of hawaiian and they were like slip slip that and i was like i don't know man i'm all about that it's that ridiculous service where an extremely hot person flirts with you for like the hour that you're at dinner, flies you with booze so in the back of your mind you can be like

I still got it and then you're paying for that service. What you just described is Shannon. Yeah exactly and I'm happy to tip for it that's why I slip her a 20 every day when I leave work she makes me feel a million bucks while I'm here and I put it in her pouch. I don't know if that's nice or not

I make her put it in her pouch. I don't know if that's nice or not. I make her put it on the pouch. Put it on your pouch, Shannon. I slip a 20 in her pouch. Well, you're a good man. She does work hard, you know. She works hard. She makes me feel good. She goes above and beyond.

And I would dial up the computer and I'd get it going. And then I would sit at the dining chair pulled up to the desk and I would log into Neopets. Yeah, I was very aware of Neopets.

Oh, my God. It was like, was it an evolution of Tamagotchi? Yeah, basically. You had to keep them alive and feed them and they could like win things. How did you get new ones? I cannot remember. Did you hatch them? Did you have to get more? Yeah, something like that. They could win things? Like what? Like beauty competitions and such? Yeah, I can't even remember.

I just remember exactly what they looked like. And now like, it's like these, all these old nostalgic things are coming back. Like you say, Tamagotchis. People got obsessed with those a couple of years ago again. Neopets have released a video saying they're back. It's called A New Era for Neopets. I will say I hate it.

You know when Bananas in Pyjamas came back and it's all, like, digital? Yeah, not the costumes. Yeah. It kind of looks like that, like kind of the more modern animation, more detail, whereas like they were just these like flat 2D cute little things. Is it a web browser based game or is it an app now? It'll be an app, right? Yeah.

No, it's a brand new homepage and they'll have an app that goes with it. Right, okay. So you could do either or basically. Yeah. But they're back. But it's so strange because the world, like now that everyone's talking about it, if you were doing Neopets, Google it because now they've brought up like the old home base where like

Fairy City and the Wheel of Excitement. Oh my god, you used to go in and spin the Wheel of Excitement. How often did you get to spin the wheel? Once a day. I think it was once a day. Gambling, eh? It's wild when you look back on what would get you into gambling. It's like you love

the pokies now, isn't it? That's why I'm hooked. You just can't go past the winning wheel. Healing Springs, you used to take them there and make them feel good and stuff.

Did they fight? Like, because that was Pokemon. I don't think so. It sounds like Pokemon without the brawling. Yeah. Yeah, it does. It felt like Pokemon

without the brawling. Right. But you're does. It felt like Pokemon without the brawling. Right. But you're not tempted to get back into this? Is it kind of a... No, because I just want to play the old one. And I had all my Neopets and they had names and they were cute as. Yeah. I don't know the password.

The email is miss__b__have.hotmail.com. Of course it is, yeah. But I don't know the password. Right. What is... It was something like Groovy Llama or something. It was something dumb like that. Did they give you a password or you picked it? No, no But I don't know the password. Right. What is... It was something like Groovy Llama or something. It was something dumb like that. Did they give you a password or you picked it?

No, no, I chose Groovy Llama. Okay. I had Qwerty Llama for a while. Any capitals? Any capitals, numbers or symbols? No, it was the old days. Yes, the old days. It was the good old days.

Qwerty, Q... Take me back to the good old days where a password could just be blank and you could just hit enter and it would be like, that seems fine to me. You don't want one? You don't want one? You don't have to have one. That's fine.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. Well, possums back on the menu. Cost of living and an abundance of possums Has led people to be like Well We could eat that We'll be pests

We need them gone Helpful It's kind of A double dip Maybe this is How we'll feed ourselves In the future You know

We might very well have to When we're living in You know The apocalypse Because They're thinking about Crickets and bugs And all that kind of stuff

And then Possums Possum on the menu This is from a 2015 article About possum on the menu They're thinking about crickets and bugs and all that kind of stuff. And then possums. Possum on the menu. This is from a 2015 article about possum on the menu in the far north. Stella Kake preparing 80 possum back legs for the possum pie party. She's left the claws on. She's left the claws on. That makes it a bit real.

This is a hard no from me. It's just that I can't get past the mentality. Like, I can't get past the... Yeah. I know possums are a big thing. On the dairy farm, it was always like you shot them because they were quite abundant carriers of TB and you didn't want that getting into your dairy.

But apparently you can cook that out. The risk of an infection from eating meat, even if raw or undercooked with TB, remains extremely low and tuberculosis is bacteria which is killed by cooking the meat to the proper temperature.

Okay. Okay. So you get it nice and hot. So I googled possum recipes and it's given, I found this like, Appalachian, ooh.

So you're talking like, I believe, Bush America. Hillbillies. Yeah. Specifically referred to the people of the Appalachians.

Right. So this is like, hillbilly possum recipes. Okay. Recipes called things like Mothman Possum Stew. Oh. Roasted Sassafras Possum. Oh. West Virginia Max Possum Stew and Mothman Bean Soup, which is also got possum in it.

Shredded pulled? Pulled, yeah. That's the thing, you could slow cook it. Pulled possum, put it in the pressure cooker. Because I've been reading how to prepare a possum, always leave the skin on. Ew, okay. Because it'll go like crackling on a pork, apparently.

Yuck. It keeps in, quote, I quote, the delicious possum juices. I'm going possum breast. I'm going as un-gamey as possible. Really? Yeah. Are they big breast?

Would they be a meaty breast? Big hooters on a possum. Huge nungas. Set a rack on that possum. Now, the nipple is inside the pouch, is it not?

I don't know. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM's. Stop eating peanuts. Oh, my God. I can't stop eating peanuts? Oh my God. I can't stop eating peanuts. Do you know the calorie content of nuts? It's very high. It's so high.

I can't stop eating. But I also feel like I'm opening the nuts. These nuts came from pits. But you're actually eating peanuts. Yeah. Then they're the nuts. They use them as butter and they use them as packing peanuts, which I didn't even think about until later on and I laughed.

It's genius. Yeah. But also, I can't even think about until later on, and I laughed. It's genius, yeah. But also, I can't stop cracking them open and eating them.

But then Hayley's like, maybe we've all got a light nut allergy, and Morn is literally killing us. They're just in the room, in the air, and we're dying. Anyway, that could be the case. But anyway, I often clear my mouth of nuts.

Or they get in the teeth, especially raw dying. Anyway, that could be the case. But anyway, I often clear my mouth of nuts. Or they get in the teeth, especially raw nuts. Yeah, they do. Get right in the teeth. Producer Jared has an exam question. Now, what kind of exam is this in?

I don't know. But it's gone viral because a lot of people are messing this question up. Yeah, there's a lot of debate over the wording and the final answer of it. Okay. See, to me,

a question and exam should never be open for debate. No. Because it changes the answer. Unless it's a philosophy one and they're judging you on how you put it apart. Did you guys like those ones where they gave you four answers like A, B, C? D? I love those. Oh yeah, pick apart. They're called multi-choice. Yeah, those were awesome. Do you guys like those ones where they gave you like four answers, like A, B, C, D? Oh, yeah, pick apart.

That's so good. They're called multi-choice. Yeah, those were awesome. Do you guys like those ones where they gave you like four A, B, C, D? They were the best. They were the best. They have a name, multi-choice. It is good because one of the answers is there.

Yeah, I know. The answer is there. Did you always like have a bit of a look and kind of think, oh, the answer might be 12 and then check if 12 was in there? Or did you just go and be like, does three work and work backwards? Oh, God, no. If it was there for me, I wouldn't do much thinking. Right.

And then if I really wasn't giving a two cents, I would just randomise it. And then you'd be like, oh, they wouldn't go A, A, A, A, A, A. No, they wouldn't go A A A A A A No they wouldn't they wouldn't But then every now and then they might chuck in a C D

A A A B B A you know to mix it up to throw me off Yeah So you were trying to Da Vinci Code multi-choice Yeah

With no with no decipher This is why you shouldn't bother with private education kids Hey I passed Yeah Yeah Okay

Jared give us a question that everybody on the internet is stuck on. What subject are we in? Math. Oh, God. Oh, God. Go on. I like it. It's my worst subject.

What is the closest time to midnight? 11.59 and 59. No, it's multiple choice. Is it one of the questions at the A, B, or C, or D? I love these ones. So, A, 11.55am. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. If Fletcher's writing it down, that's cheating.

Midnight. So that's close to midnight, isn't it? But it's at the wrong end. No, it's not. 11.55am is 11.55 in the morning. Okay, we shouldn't have helped him. Sorry, carry on, teacher. B, 12.06am.

C, 11.50am. Or D, 12.03am. 12.03am. 12.03 a.m c 11 50 a.m or d 12 03 a.m 12 03 a.m closest to midnight d that's easy okay so let's go through the answers again so 11 55 a.m that is five minutes to lunchtime yes 12 0 6 a.m that is six minutes past midnight 11 50 a.m that is six minutes past midnight. 11.50am, that is 10 minutes to lunchtime. And then 12.03am is three minutes past midnight. So it's only three minutes. It's the closest time to midnight. But isn't 11.55 closer? No, it's literally 12 hours away.

No, but if you went backwards, is it closer? No. Wait a minute, we're not allowed to go backwards and forwards. That was never discussed. No, but backwards from midnight backwards, is it closer? No. Wait a minute. We're not allowed to go backwards and forwards. That was never discussed. That's the whole thing. Backwards from midnight is 11.59pm. No, see, the wording should be what time is closer to it turning midnight. Yes, but they haven't said that.

So that's what makes me think 11.55am if you're going backwards. Why can't you go back three minutes? But 11.55am is not three minutes back from midnight. It's midday. Yeah, I know, but I'm saying if you went backwards, is it still going to be closer? No. No.

No, it's 12 hours away. It's 12 hours back. Have you seen the clock? It's 12 hours forward and it's 12 hours back, essentially. It goes around twice in a day. Yeah, no matter which direction you're going in. Okay, well, are we going B? It's 12.03am.

No, we're going D. Are we matter which direction you're going in. Okay, well, are we going B? It's 12.03am. No, we're going D. Are we going C? We're going C. You go whatever you want. I'm going D. What high school did you go to? You were going 12.03am. Didn't you go Spotswater or something, didn't you?

No. No, New Plymouth Boys. New Plymouth Boys. Jared, what is the answer? No one knows. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. It's 12.03. Because the way the question is worded, it leaves it up to, like, people's interpretation.

No, it doesn't. The wording of the question is straightforward. Maths is the one thing that should never be open to interpretation. Closest time to midnight, not closest time, like, after midnight, you know? Yeah, to midnight. To midnight is either side of midnight. Oh, you're taking it as, like, five minutes to 12, like, using it. Once you go past the bottom, you're taking it as like five minutes to twelve, like using it once you go past the bottom you're saying two.

So then it would be twelve by three, right? Because it's not midnight, that's noon. No, you've just changed. I'm going backwards. We've changed the way of working at it and you still didn't change the answer. I'm going backwards. It's three minutes if you wind the clock back. It's totally, that is three minutes away from

midnight. They're hoping to confuse people. They are. Because people will say 11.50 a.m. is close to 12 a.m., but it's not. It's literally as far away from 12 a.m. as it can be. So this is the exact argument that's happening in every comment section about this question.

Well, we need a teacher to tell us. We need a maths teacher to say this is the answer. Somebody said time doesn't go backwards. Someone messaged in. But this isn't about, it never says backwards or forwards. And it doesn't stipulate if we have a time machine, does it? Yeah, the closest time to midnight. That's like saying the closest price to $12.

Yeah. And then saying $12.03. That is the closest price to $12. Yeah. But if it $12.03. That is the closest price to $12. Yeah. But if it says two midnight. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Not just say two midnight.

It's got to say till midnight. No, two midnight. We're going to tell our highs about this. No, no, no. Kill him. But if it says two midnight, then doesn't that mean like until midnight? Oh, she's got a point.

Until, yeah. So does it mean until midnight? Until is different to 2. Agreed. So it's not after midnight, so it's not 12.03. No, the closest to this bottle or the closest till this bottle means how far am I travelling to it. It's not till, it's 2. Okay.

Yeah, but doesn't sometimes 2 mean... I'm going D. It does, but not always. Also, the last answer was D, so should we still go with D for this one? Well, the last four answers have been D. It must be D. No, because I reckon we were wrong on one of those other Ds.

No, the teachers would never do four Ds in a row. They wouldn't. Would they? So one of the previous questions we've done wrong. Someone said, did you know every pilot theory exam and assessment is multi-choice? That's not good. Pilots?

I could be a pilot! Should you go upside down here? Yes or no? No. B. I'm going to go. You went A, upside down. Yes, you're a commercial pilot.

You should never be going upside down. I had the seatbelt side on, Vaughn. The sign was on. Oh, yeah. Let's play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly Little Pole is about speedos. The toggies. The budgie smugglers.

Yes or no? I voted yes. I voted yes as well. You do you. Whatever you want. I'm into them. I don't care. You wear them.

I wear them. I swim in them. I don't go to the beach in them. But you're shorts at the beach? Shorts at the beach. Right. Sometimes I wear the Speedos underneath. Right. Because, you know, good to have good undies. Keep it tucked. You don't want to be flopping out at the beach? Shorts at the beach. Right. Sometimes I wear the Speedos underneath. Right.

Because, you know, good to have good undies, you know. Keep it tucked. You don't want to be flopping out at the beach. God, no. You get arrested. Yeah. And also, you're sometimes good for a suntan. Yeah, whip the shorts off afterwards when you're lying down.

Oh. So that you don't get the shorts mark. The shorts mark. Yeah, so you don't get the shorts mark. But, yeah, I mean, when you swim, like, if you're going to do a K or two Ks in togs, that's hard. It's drag. It's a bit of drag. It's a bit of added resistance.

Yeah. Especially your board shorts go down below the knee. My rip curl and my billabong ones. Yeah, they go mid-calf. The velcro pockets are open and filled with water and kind of act as a... A weight. A weight, yeah. And the thicket of pubes you have.

Oh, my God. What a, like... Yeah, he tucks them all into the Speedo. It's tough, it's tough. And just removes a lot of drag there. It's like a wet carpet. Yeah. Thicket.

Thicket always reminds me of Brea Rabbit. You know those old, like, Brea Rabbit and those old, like, nursery rhymes of Brea Rabbit You know those old Brea Rabbit Those old nursery rhymes Brea Rabbit Pizza Rabbit No Brea Rabbit and Brea Wolf What are you talking about It was these old ones

I always remember as a kid we'd read the book and listen to the tape And I'm from the 1960s And they'd be like And then he threw Breer Rabbit into the thicket. And the way this guy hit thicket is one of the words, it sticks with me. Yeah, okay.

Thicket. Thicket. A dense group of bushes or trees. Thicket is not a thicket. So, thank you. His pubes. Just for the record. Br'er Rabbit was thrown into his thicket of pubes.

C'est le peu, hot or not? 11% saying hot. Oh, no. And overwhelming 89% saying not. A friend of the show, Todd, messaged on the back of this poll last night and said it appears 11% of your listeners are gay. Yeah, gays love a speedo. Gays love a speedo.

Yeah. And a thicket. Callie says, I live in Europe. They are everywhere. They are. You go to the beach and everyone wears them. 99% of the time it's not the young hotties wearing them either. Thumbs down.

Oh, yeah. On Brazil, they're big on Speedos in Brazil. Yeah. Well, that's why it's the Brazilian. Yes. Because they wear the tiniest little togs. Yeah. Men and women alike.

Have a clean up of the thicket. Deforestation. Deforestation. Dan says, nothing more sexy than a man rocking a pair of Speedos. Don't worry, Vaughn. You can rock them at Westwave. No. Do you go to Westwave?

I haven't been to Westwave for years. He loves when the waves come on. Westwave has a wave pool. It has fun hydro slides. And it's got a diving pool. And it's got a lap pool and it's got a lap pool. It's got everything. Yeah.

And out the back, there's a statue for Elvis. Why? Because they used to have the Elvis day there. Oh, my God. It's a great spot, Westwave. I've never rocked speedos at Westwave. Ali says, my partner is a compatible... Compatible?

I think she means competitive. It's an autocorrect there. My partner is a compatible swimmer, so definitely hot, hot, hot. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody else want to see... Especially those bodies, far out.

Anybody else want to see the shoulders on this character? Yeah, I bet. Like a carrot, are they? Like a turnip. It'll be like a triangle. It'll be a triangle. Like a pyramid upside down.

Swimmers are always like a hot turnip. Yep. Yes. A hot turnip. Not a turnip. A swede. No, not a swede. A parsnip. Parsnip. A parsnip. Yep. Yes. A big hot turnip. Not a turnip. A swede. No, not a swede. A parsnip.

Parsnip. A parsnip. Okay, right. Horny little legs. Girthier than a carrot. Yeah, right. Hot, hot, big bulky top. Ripped.

Always ripped. Oh, the gutters. Yeah, the gutters. And the legs are muscular but sleek. Sleek little, like fins. Ali, do us a favour and send us a hot photo of your partner. In the Speedos, please.

Just so we can see the physique. Just so we can see if he does. We'll go back and see if we can find the partner on it. She'll probably be locked down. Oh my god, stop me such a prude. Share your partner with us. Bianca said, too much detail in the Speedo. No one needs to see or know.

I want to see and know. I'm always curious. I showed you guys a photo the other day of a swim team, a row team. It was a rowing team. That's right. We saw every man and every woman. Swimmers and cyclists. Yeah.

Don't leave a lot to the imagination in their tight pant. Amy says, my husband runs a swim school and even he won't wear Speedos. Unless you're a very, very keen swimmer. It's an absolute no. I don't think if you're teaching kids that the instructor should be wearing Speedos. You need to be wearing your long billabongs. Yeah, wear your long billabongs or your rash shirt. Yeah, your rash shirt.

Your rash shirt. I voted no, says Ruby, but I'd love if my partner wore one. It would be great for shits and giggles and I love a good gag. I mean, don't tell your partner that. Don't be like, hey, you should put on Speedos. That would be a funny gag. I can laugh at you. Oh, my God, we found the boyfriend.

Okay, let's go over to that. This is the first photo. She is straddling him. Straddle in a formal photo shoot. They're facing each other, and she has straddled him. She's a swimmer. Of course she is. Butaddled him. She can't get enough. But look at him. Hang on.

Look at the face. Look at the face on this guy. Wait, is it a butterface situation? No, it's an absolute beautiful. Oh, my God, he's an Adonis. He's a beautiful man. Okay, stop perving at her. And she's beautiful, too.

That's a good-looking couple. That's a hot couple. Stop perving at her boyfriend. Oh, we're perving at her, too. We're all about equality around here, mate. Everybody's getting a perv. Everyone's getting perv. They're at Lucky A. We love Lucky A equality around here, mate. Everybody's getting a perv. Everyone's getting perv. They're at Lucky A.

We love Lucky A. It's basically free. Okay, let's try to run into them there. I wish you got a Lucky A. See if we can't get an in-person look at this guy's pectorals. Oh, wait, we've got more photos coming through. The arms. Oh, my God, stop it.

We've got some arms. We've got some arms and shoulders. Oh, my God, we've got some shoulders. I told you. I told you it'd be the shoulders. He's a turnip. He's a turnip. He's basically a turnip there in a singlet, isn't he We've got some shoulders. I told you. I told you it'd be the shoulders. The turnip. He's a turnip. He's basically a turnip there in a singlet, isn't he?

A hot turnip in a singlet. Parsnip. Parsnip. Sorry. It depends on who's wearing them, says Lucy. Male models, hot. Old men chilling on the beach. Not.

Don't be rude to the old men. That's oldest, isn't it? It is oldest. And Hannah says, no one wants to see your budgie. But they wouldn't want to see. Again, I'll repeat. Some do. Some do. It's a good thing. Sometimes you see your budgie. Again, I'll repeat. Some do. Some do.

It's a good thing. Sometimes you want a budgie. Sometimes you want a magpie. Sometimes you want a cockatoo. Yep. Yep. You cheeky. He's a cheeky boy.

Maybe a bunning snag. Oh. Bunnings. No, because those are always burst open on the hot plate. Oh, they do. I don't want to see a pony snag. They bend. Yeah.

Oh, God. Now, there is a woman called Kelly Kipa. I'm putting a Maori eye in there. Kipa, probably. Right. Kipa. Kipa. Anyway, and her name's not even Kelly, it's Kendall.

I've really stuffed this up. Kendall Kipper. She lives in Los Angeles, and she has shared a way of getting people to buy her drinks at a bar that she says works 99% of the time. Now, I am going to say that Kendall is also extremely beautiful. What is she, out of 10? That's what it is. She's a 9.

Okay, so that's already in her favour. Do you know what I mean? Like, I feel like she's like, oh my god. She's on the right side of a 5. Like, would this work for an 8, like Vaughn? Yeah. I'll take it. Yeah. I think you should. It'll work for an 8 like Vaughn. Yep, thank you.

A 9 like you. Oh, thank you. And a... Vaughn, you go. I'm out of the... I don't respond to these questions. A 4. I just flashed my birds and you said 4. I know. I think he was about to say eight and then you flashed the... Yeah. Out of five?

Out of five? Out of five. They're that bad. We were doing that on ten. It's out of five. So that's an eight. Four out of five is an eight out of ten. Yeah.

Okay. I'll take it. Now, as Kendall, I've just done a quick Google... Is this off TikTok? Yeah. She said this on TikTok? Yeah. She said this on TikTok? Yeah.

Yeah, right. She doesn't need any help getting free drinks. Look at this thing. Yeah, she's 21 years old. She's tight. She's bright. She's light. Anyway, so her thing is she uses reverse psychology, right?

Right. She said the first thing you want to do is you want to get into the line for the bar, for the drinks, right? Yeah. Then you want to find the man that looks like he's got the biggest ego. We're talking your lads, you know, your jockey kind of big, confident dude. Then she says, she's very important to the type of guy you scout out. Right.

Super big ego is what you're looking for. Yeah. Once you find your guy, you go, your next step is you approach him and ask him, what are you ordering? What are you going to, what are you, what are you going to order? And she says, let's say that he's like, I'm going to order a tequila soda. Delicious. You can be like, you can either say, oh, I love tequila sodas,

or you can say like, oh, I was going to order the same thing. Can I buy you a drink? Oh, and because he's got such a big ego. When the ego comes in, he's going, he'll be like, absolutely not. I'll buy you a drink. She's got a free drink. Whereas if it was me, I'd be like, absolutely, thank you. Yeah, same.

I'd be like, yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Okay. Yeah. Sweet. I was going to buy one myself and now I got a free one.

Made my own double. She's seen 99% of the time and she's beautiful. She's got a man with a big ego. He's not going to stand for that. And then what's the worst? The worst, you buy him a drink. Yeah. And I'm assuming she's still interested in this guy anyway, right?

No. Or not? No, no, she'll just make her way back to her friends. Oh, okay. And then just find another person. Yeah, but the amount of free, 99% of the time working, it would even out, she'd get more, oh yeah, okay, yeah. I'm just showing the photo of this.

She probably just doesn't even need to try. People would just buy her drinks. She could just stand at the bar. It's just hot people getting more free things, isn't it? It's tough out there to be hot. Yeah. Trust me. He says as he eats

another free peanut. Yeah. And she eats a scone. That she paid for. That I paid for. And bought everybody else one. Yeah, because no one offered to buy me drinks,

so I buy. That's what happens when you're a four. I'm the drink buyer. That's what happens when you're a four. You have to pick up the bill for us.

When I'm a four, I'm shouting. Yeah. God, I'm broke. Thank you for the coffees. You have to pick up the bill for us. When I'm a four, I'm shouting. Yeah. God, I'm broke. Thank you for the coffees. You're welcome. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM.

You may have heard me say pants there. And I was just saying how I find it very funny that some countries, the British, call your underpants your pants. Oh, I saw them in his pants. Oh, my God. Look at you in your pants. Yeah saw him in his pants oh my god look at you you're in your pants yeah but no it's not

it's your undies yeah or your knickers do Americans sometimes say shorts do they he was in his shorts do they say boxes

like we say boxes I think they do say boxes so do they mean silkies or do they mean briefs I don't know so the reason I said shorts pants

a woman has attended an open home and a young man was asleep on the sofa surrounded by booze. So he's like, obviously not living there, but his friends are someone that lives there. So she was going to a flat viewing. Yes. And she said the house was not only filthy, but the current tenant,

see, I don't think this is a current tenant. This is classic. Mates staying over because they can't get home. Or the guy that they're kicking out because he's sleeping on the couch in his pants.

There's a photo and you can't see the guy's face but you can see his bum hanging out of his pants. Out of his pants. And there's just,

I mean, to be honest, it just looks like a student. Oh, there's some diaries on the floor. Oh, gosh.

And a bottle of premix. We were joking about this, and then producer Jared said, this has happened to him. This exact same thing. You went to an open home, like a flat viewing. Yep, and walked in. The current residents were in the midst of just, like, packing it all down, and went and looked at the master bedroom,

and there was a dude sitting there in his undies playing computer games just surrounded by, like, fast food. Oh, there was a dude sitting there in his undies playing computer games just surrounded by fast food. Oh, God. My dude, king in his castle. I suppose so. My house, I'm still paying rent until I'm not. Yeah, it was grim. Do you have to let people in for flat viewings if you're still flatting there?

I think so. With warning, right? Landlords are like, it's the 48-hour warning thing. Right, okay. Right. Because they've got to see the place. You've got to tidy it up. Because it's just embarrassing otherwise. Yeah, but if you're moving out, what do you care? Yeah, well, you don't care, right? Right, okay. Right. Because they've got to see the place. You've got to tidy it up. Because it's just embarrassing a lot.

Yeah, but if you're moving out, what do you care? Yeah, well, you don't care, right? Yeah, I suppose so. You want your bond back. So as long as it's clean enough to get your bond back at the end of the day,

but a couple of days leading up to, maybe not. Yeah. Well, we were wondering, I always think when you go to an open home and there's something that will put people off,

like if it's just like a mess, you're like, well that's good because people don't like dealing with a mess, you might get a bargain. Oh yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. Like if you turn up to an open home and the backyard's just like an absolute I also look at a backyard that's a shambles and I get a little bit excited.

So do we. We're going to clean this right up. And that's how we get flats. I mean, I've said this before. Me and Aaron used to always say he's a green thumb. So we'd look in the backyard and be like, oh no, we've got our own lawnmower. We love gardening. And they'd go, great, well I've got free now to pay for a bloody gardener. Yeah, that's the way they look at it.

Get a little bit of a bargain. But yeah, we thought we'd take some calls this morning about the things that you've seen at a flat viewing or an open home. Because you know, it's not your place yet. It might be your place. Yes. It's got to be endless dillies. But you're not or an open home. Because, you know, it's not your place yet. It might be your place, yes. There's got to be endless dillies. But you're not at an open home.

You're not opening up someone's bedside drawer. Aren't you? Well, what is it? Is the cabinetry built in or are they taking that with them? I might have a look. If it's built in, you get to look. I might have a look in the wardrobe. Yeah, because I need to know what storage I'm going to have.

Exactly. If it's a wardrobe, fine. But you can't open, like... Someone's furniture. Someone's furniture. Would you open bathroom drawers? Probably the most... Would you say bathroom drawers are some of the most intimate drawers of the house?

Because it's always covered in hair and gross things. Bedside drawers and bathroom drawers, very intimate drawers. Not in a flat, though. Not the bathroom drawer in a flat. I've been through Fletcher's bathroom drawers. Have you? Yeah. What's he got in there?

What's in there? I've got a lot of bulk deodorant. What did I look for? I think when I had a shower at yours I went looking for some moisturiser. Oh, you know, I've got some plain

moisturiser. I don't know if I've looked through yours, maybe. I've had a little peek. Have you still got a huge chafing issue? Because you used to have

that massive pot of ass. I don't. Huge Vaseline guy over here. I don't have a massive pot of that. He does. It's still there. Because he didn't have moisturiser,

I had to use the Vas on my legs. You know what? You're welcome. You think you're way of doing things. Well, give us a call. 0800-DIALS-AT-EME. You can text her as well. 9696.

What have you seen at an open home or a flat viewing? Like, that you were a bit like, oh, what? Yeah, maybe it was gross. Maybe it was, like, controversial. Maybe it was hilarious. Well, a flat viewing has gone viral because a man was in his knickers on the couch asleep. Yeah, drunk or hungover.

It's happened to producer Jared as well. We want to know the weirdest, most unusual, grossest thing you saw at a flat viewing or an open home. We asked this on Instagram as well and some of the responses now. Joanna said a guy was asleep in his bed and another one

was having a bath. They still took me into the bathroom and the bedroom to show me them. Was it a bubble bath or did they just cut hands?

Kind of do a hand cover? Yeah, a hand cover. Especially a guy in the bath because it floats. Like a mushroom. Yeah, you always see it. It's like out of. Yeah.

Goldfish living in the bath. What? because it floats. Like a mushroom. Yeah, you always say it. It's like out of. Yeah. It's like a bath bomb. Goldfish living in the bath. What? Who? They asked for a ride to town. What? After you jumped in my car, put their feet on the dash

and changed the radio station? To ZM probably. Who can blame them? It's a station that not only gives... Well, you're laughing out loud it also puts you at such ease that you'll put your feet up on the dash of a stranger. That's what we're here to do. You don't want to move in with someone

like that, they obviously sound like a leech. As someone who does scab at quite a few free rides. I know. Matt, what did you see at a flat viewing or an open home? We went to an open home and it was really busy. There's like 10 groups of people there

and the place absolutely stunk of marijuana and it was next to the neighbours. They were chuffing up a big party just over the fence. You could see billows of smoke coming over. I don't know what was going on there but the kicker of it was there was four offers on that house that day.

Yeah, I bet. Wow. As the homeowner selling the house, you'd be so pissed off with your neighbours. Yeah, you'd be like just... Wafting weed. Almost be tempted just to pay them just to not party for a night. I will buy you weed if you smoke it somewhere else. Laura, what did you see when you went flat hunting?

So I went one time and I was the only one out of my group flat hunting, so I was kind of nervous to start with. And then got there, flat was an absolute tit, and then all of the guys were on the deck, shirtless, pumping iron, like working out. Maybe they thought that was alluring. No, you see, you think that's hot, but then that's protein farts. You don't want to be living in a flat with all those protein farts.

It's protein farts, brah. Yeah, it was just awkward. And, like, the flat was an absolute tit. And so the landlord was, like, out the front, and I was like, oh, that's kind of weird. Why isn't he showing us around? Probably because he felt awkward, too, because I'm just, like, there trying to, like, I don't know.

Move in. Did you sign then and there? Oh, I think I was there for all of 30 seconds I'm just I'm getting excited guys. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to just be here. My body is aching I'm just I'm trying to I'm excited to just be here. My body is aching. Yeah, Fletch is not 100. I'm just, I'm trying to, I'm trying to. This dude is a professional, though. I'm trying to will myself to want to be here. You're putting your top down. I'm hot, so I'm trying to get some shoulder out.

Okay, I'm definitely sick. You're in a zip top. You're cold, she's hot. I'm zipped up. The sexy wheelbarrow is right in the climate. So don't worry. By the way, have you noticed Vaughn's nips are full? Dude, I noticed them hours ago.

Are they hard? I didn't even notice. I've been horny all day. I'm horny for Thursday. I had some Kendall Jenner 818 tequila last night, and to be totally honest, it horned me up, and I've not been able to get rid of this. Is it good?

I will tell you what, and we bought that bottle full price at Duty Free, and someone told me you should have just bought it at CVS and smuggled it in your suitcase. Thanks a lot. It's too late for that. That is a good tequila. Is it?

You can't get it in New Zealand, I don't believe. Are you serious? Dude, it is really, really good tequila. Sade's like, oh, my God, is that what tequila tastes like, that it's not Jose Cuervo? And I said, yes. You trash. You can get it at Liquorland and Whiskey and More.

What? Yeah. How much is it? Can you get the- Stocked in 11 stores. But you have to say get price. Oh, you have to inquire. Can you get that Anyaya?

Fine stores. Isn't Liquorland Ponsonby and all? Yeah, yeah. I like it. Okay. Daddy's going home to be a Ponsonby. Is he? Because he wants the other Anyaya. It's $120.

By the way, people were so offended we were drinking tequila on a Wednesday night. Oh, my God. Tequila on a Wednesday night. It's my God, tequila on a Wednesday night. It's like, well, I'm not going to the phone party afterwards. I'm just literally having a nice sipping tequila. It's $120. And then going to bed. What?

I know, booze is so much cheaper in America. It's ridiculous. Anyway, sorry, we're digressing. Talking now about the weird and unusual gross things that you've seen at an open home or a flat viewing because a guy half naked on the couch during a flat viewing has gone viral out of the UK. And Jared's seen the same thing, a flat viewing here in New Zealand, just some drunk guy in his knickers on the couch.

And so many stories coming through. Lindy, what did you see? This was your daughter at an open home or a flat viewing? It was at an open home. They were having a look, quite a nice house, bowl down the hallway and on the walls in the hallway there's these huge photos of the couple who are starkers and they were a middle-aged couple

and they weren't pretty apparently. They were certainly no models. Wait, they had nude portraits of themselves? Yes, on the hallway and in the bedroom. I'd pop those down during an open home, personally. Well, so would I. I mean, I know that we said... I wish they were proud of them.

We'd make great real estate agents, but I tell you what, if you were listening with us, we'd make sure you pulled down your portraits. Oh, we'd pop by a Kmart and get a generic print. Oh, my God. And so a full nudity. Yep, yep. Like, are we talking Genies

What were the genies like Lindy Well they didn't really say They were just Pussying themselves so much They just had to get out of there They couldn't even see The rest of the house Disappointing to not have

A genies report But okay thank you Lindy If we're going to talk about Genies on the show We need a genies report We need a full report We need a full report Lindy thank you

Some messages in. The Chazinator on Instagram said, I once saw a used prophylactic on the floor next to the bed, walked straight out. Oh, yuck. I mean, carpet can be cleaned, but something says to me you need to wave some sage in that house. Good for using contraception, though.

Yeah, it's always good to hear some stories on that. At an open home, I was like was like oh what's the storage like and I opened a cupboard and it was absolutely chocker with adult DVDs DVDs retro retro

imagine feeling a little like hmm I might have a little open the cupboard going through the library what would you organise them by title

main star or title theme theme category genre category category category there's going to be some crossover and those would be the ones connecting straight to E next message Theme. Theme. Category. Category. I don't like genre. Category. Category. Category.

There's going to be some crossover and those will be the ones connecting. Straight to E. Okay, next message. Wait, straight to E. Yeah, that's for later. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. Plastic sheet.

What? Like a Dexter Killsheet. Over the couch yeah with a large tub of Vaseline and something else an adult fun toy on it

okay that you gotta is that a plant? is that a funny gag? that's a funny gag right oh my god how funny would it be if your friends

were selling their house and they were like we're gonna get out half an hour before the open house and you get in you sneak in and you do something wild

yes I love it that would be fun also sounds like the flight mates or the flight doesn't want the landlord to sell the house, so they're just doing something like that. Making a look bad. So they stay there. Yeah.

Went to an open home with my mum. They had whips and chains on the main bedroom wall. Horse people, eh? But to be totally honest, it was a Tiger Mink blanket that put me off. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. I had to break the news to Shade that, well because I don't like the sound of anybody eating That's a thing

What's that called? There's a name for it I don't know. Is it a phobia? You know like some people do the ASMR videos and it's like Ew, I know. I know, I don't like those. I'm just going to have the idea. We're just going to put some asmaca on you. I'm going to eat a cucumber. And then it's like... You're like...

Misophobia. Phonia. Yes. Misophobia. But it's primarily humans because I do find it quite relaxing watching like... It's a dog. Ugh, yuck. An animal eats.

Sometimes it'll be like a squirrel eating a tomato or something. And you're like, what business does a squirrel have eating a tomato? And then it's funny and the sound doesn't bother me. But anybody eating bothers me. And I was doing something on the computer and both Sade and my daughter were standing behind me and they were both eating. We were all eating, but they were standing behind me and I said, you've both got to leave.

I don't want to listen to you eat. And Sade's like, but what about me? You're supposed to love everything about me. And I said, I'll tell you right now, I do not love the sound of you eating. She's not a noisy eater. She eats with her mouth shut. Yep. She does seem to have some sort of cavernous mouth situation though

because there is an echo if it's a crunch. There's an echo-y situation. And I'm not saying I'm perfect. But for some reason I can't hear myself eat. I eat with my mouth shut. No, you never hear yourself eat. You're never the problem. God, no.

If I could somehow get my brain to, because I'm imagining it's blocking that out. If I could block out everybody else eating too. No. That'd be great. Why did you think, but why did you think to voice this? Why didn't you leave? Because I was on the computer then. We're looking over my shoulder.

For a start, everyone's always looking over my shoulder. If I'm doing something on my phone, my children will stick their heads between me and my phone and I'll be like, I can't see what I was doing now. And they're like, what were you doing? I was like, well, I can't see what I was doing, so I'm not doing anything now. He's having a goss in the group chat.

Yeah, sharing goss. Or that'll be August. They'll be like, oh, Dad just typed the F word. Dad's got a group chat and the F word's in the title. Yep. And I'm just, get out of it. Get out of the way. So last night they were over my shoulder watching me do something

and it was just something. I was just reading something. And they both just stopped and happened. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. Was it sloppy or crunchy? Both got to leave. You know Because it's different

If it's got a crunch It's a different kind of I On the way home From hockey On Monday night Yep The girls were having hot chips

And We were also taking a friend home And I said God Someone is eating chips loud back there I think it was one of my children Oh no It wasn't

It was the other kid You shamed someone else's kid Yeah But They were eating loud Everybody was eating it was one of my children. Oh, no. It wasn't. It was the other kid. You shamed someone else's kid. But they were eating loud. Everybody was eating. Do you know that kid's going to go through life never forgetting that moment now? I know.

I know. You always remember your friend's parents telling you off. Oh, yeah. I can remember getting told off by Mrs. Jensen. We were late back from the Hamilton movies and Chris did an afternoon paper run. Boy, do we wear it. And I'll never forget

the telling of it. You always remember. 100%. I remember popping the balloons after Stephen G's sixth birthday. Stephen G. Popping the balloons

and Mrs. G was like, well, that was a waste of balloons and that was all she said and I can still remember it. with you. I remember Kiri's mum giving me a smack.

You've told us about it. Yeah, we caught her dropping the candy in the can. That's next level. Got a hit. That's next level.

But what did your wife say when you said you... Oh, she was so... She was like, you're supposed to love everything about me. I was like, I don't love anybody's noise of eating. Anybody. No, anybody. Wait, are you supposed to love everything about your partner?

God, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not everything. I think if it's just over 50%, then you're, you know... Then you're doing all right. You want me to serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Yes. Yeah.

Exactly. Is Aaron your fiancé loud eater? He's actually not. You'd look at him and think he would be, but he's not. Because he's a big unit. The only thing I don't like is when he brings food into the bed because he'll often get hungry at night and pop in the fridge for a little snack and he'll bring it back.

No, no, I'll eat it in the kitchen. I'll eat it standing over the sink. No, he'll happily bring back some crackers to the bed. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Now we've got crumbs and noise. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not in the bed, I'll eat it standing over the sink. No, he'll happily bring back some crackers to the bed. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Now we've got crumbs and noise. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not in the bed. Yeah. Not in the bed.

I've got a friend. Wait until I tell her she's a little heavy footed. What are you doing? I said before, I was like, how does a woman as small as you have such a heavy foot for? Don't do it. I'm begging you. Because when we were overseas, we were staying in a multi-level hotel. Yeah.

And the person above us, me and my dad called them twinkle toes because they'd get up early in the morning and you could... Heavy foot. And then the kids and show, they were walking around with this heavy footfall. I'm like, we're on the second floor. They're probably calling us Thumbelina downstairs. Yeah.

Because we're so heavy on the foot. Anyway. We're still married. And things are going great. And things are going strong. Yeah. Yeah. Play.

ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This is your fact of the day. Would you like to take a lead? No, I don't do fact of the day. Would you like to take a lead? No, I don't do fact of the day. I just provide them. It's all yours. I gave a little tease yesterday.

It's about a dolphin and a long man. The longest man at the time. This story took place in 2006. Such a good year. I was so hot in 2006 How old were you in 2006? 16, 17 Right, okay

And that's when you think you were at your hottest Did you peak? Hell yeah, full emo No, no, no Big and I was like Like all like moody When do you think you were at your hottest? You're looking pretty good now

Now, it's now Is it now? Am I in my hot girl era? You're in your hot girl era It's hot But it's like Yeah, maybe it's different You're looking pretty good now. Now. It's now. Is it now? Am I in my hot girl era? You're in your hot girl era. It's hot. But it's like, yeah, maybe it's different because you can maybe compare yourself to the people around you a little bit more. Yeah.

Like I see criminals, 41, it'll say their name and their age. 41, I'm like, oh my God, same age and I think I look better. Yeah. You'd never say it to their face. No, because they'd shank me. But I say it when I'm watching the news at home. Yeah. We're all the same age. That's fine.

I think mine works in the sixes because I was hot in 2006, very hot in 2016. Holy, three years time. 2026, dude. It's going to be your year. Wow. It's going to be your year. Holy moly. Well, this isn't about when we were the hottest. This is about when we were the longest.

And it was in 2006 that the world's tallest man, a Mongolian farmer called Bao Jisun, who was the world's tallest man, and by the way, is still alive. I Googled it because I was like, you know, they don't live forever. The tall people. Not the Mongolians.

The very tall people. The very,ians. The very tall people. The very, very tall people tend to die. He's 71 years old. Oh, wow. Because their organs are all big as well, probably. Well, the heart's got to work a lot harder. It's so harder. It's got to fight a bit more gravity to get the blood around everywhere

and get it back up. And it's just a whole lot more work. But he's still alive. But in 2006, he was asked by a Chinese aquarium to save the life of two dolphins. Now, the dolphins had ingested a fair chunk of plastic. Oh, we did that. Yeah, we did that.

We did that. Straws. We did that. You. You. You and your straws. You love straws. No, I suffer through a disintegrating cardboard straw now.

I've got metal straws. I BYO metal. Yeah, I don't just straw. I just straight from the cup. Yeah, you straw now. I've got metal straws. I BYO metal. Yeah. I don't just straw. I just straight from the cup. Yeah, you guzzle. I guzzle like a pig and it spills on the side of my mouth and I say, for the turtles.

So there was plastic in their stomach and you might be thinking, but Vaughn, surely in 2006 the Chinese people would have been able to perform surgery on these dolphins. Well, apparently they tried and the stomachs contracted in response, making it impossible for them to get in. They thought they might do some very serious damage to the dolphins. So they contacted this man who they believed would have a long enough arm to reach down the mouth of the dolphin and fetch the plastic from their stomachs.

And we worked out with, because you've got a little tape measure on your key ring. Yeah. His arm length is. Single arm or span. So one arm. Yeah. What was it? A meter?

Well, my fingertips to my armpit, 72 and a half. You're going from way, way back from the balls. Come forward a little bit. No. You're trying to add an inch, aren't you? He's at the end of the longest finger. I'm at the end of the longest finger. 74.

You've gone on an angle there. Go straight across. Oh, my God. He's always trying to add an inch. Oh, my God. Always trying to add an inch. And his were 100 and... How long were his arms?

110 centimetres? That's... So even for a tall man... Because that's... Your wingspan is supposed to be your height. Yeah, Aaron's got a 2.1 wingspan. Is he 2.1 tall? He's two.

So he's got a slightly longer wingspan. And that was the situation also with Bao Zhousun. Yeah. He had a longer wingspan than his height. So people held the dolphins. They sedated them. Yeah. Some people held the dolphins' jaws open with towels,

and he reached on it. With his giant long arm. What, just trying to grab a handful of plastic? Question. I know I supplied you this story, but I didn't read it all. Was he lubed up? You gotta lube. He'd be lubed up. You'd have to lube the arm, right? I would have thought he would have had

a vet's glove on. Insemination glove. That's more plastic. If that gets in there and then he gets caught and pulls it out, they've got more plastic in there. And he might have an insemination glove on. Yeah. Strapped at the shoulder.

Yeah. And he went right in. Of course, I'd imagine using some sort of lubricant of some sort. He's got a skinny arm too. Like your Aaron wouldn't be able to do this.

He's got chunky arms. Thick boy. Thick forearm. Thick forearm on that man. Yeah. And so he reaches right down into the dolphins and he did, he removed the plastic.

Shoot. Isn't that amazing? What a great fact of the day. This is a great fact of the day. It's really good. Thank you. And the delivery of it, Vaughn, may I say. Incredible.

A story of the ages. There's a photo of it, but it was 2006 and remember when digital photos were small? Yeah, you can only take one because it was like a million megabytes or whatever. Yeah, so there he is, reaching into the dolphin. It is a really skinny arm, isn't it? It's a skinny arm.

Yeah. Wow. He's got like giantism, though, eh? Like a full, like he's a massive person. Yeah, he's a massive dude, but he's still alive. So today's fact of the day is once upon a time, the world's tallest man reached down into a dolphin and pulled out some plastic. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
