This is...
Fleshwin and Haley's Big Pod.
Thanks to animates,
making happy happen for pets.
Fletch Fawn and Haley,
your chance to win cash.
We're down to five briefcases on our wall.
The deal or reveal,
and one of those cases
has $5,000 inside.
So if you get through at 8 o'clock this morning,
you have a one in five chance of winning $5,000.
How is it not gone yet?
It's quite cool seeing because all the cases that have been open just have the dollar amount inside.
800.
950.
300.
700.
450.
So much cash.
Five bucks.
Five dollars.
Five bucks.
It's good that five's the lowest by quite some.
It is.
Yeah.
It is.
Well, eight o'clock, your next chance to play deal or reveal with Banker Brin.
The top six, four.
Yeah, Auckland.
I don't know if you know this.
Your poos goes into some ponds
through a series of filtration
and slowly becomes
very solid and then
the liquid part
is treated.
Treated and released back into the world. Free range.
Free range. Free range.
Treated. Poo water. Treated poo water.
Yeah. Free range. So
the solid part
gets put in a hole.
Oh.
I just thought it was all just watered down
but it's all okay.
The solid part
put in a hole. That hole's going to be full
in 10 years. Oh no.
Have we brimmed it? We've brimmed it.
We've taken such excessive
poos. We've brimmed it.
The three of us over the last 24 hours
have really contributed to. You always certainly have.
We had some rich food this way.
Rich food. So what do we do next?
Do we burn it?
That's an option. Dig another hole.
God, I don't want to burn it. I don't want to be near that.
Do we start growing potatoes in it? Like on that movie
The Martian? Yes. I'm not against
that. I'd eat that. Well, the top six
things to do with Auckland's poos coming up.
Next on the show. There's a fast food
worker who has been fired
after doing something really grotty.
Grotty behaviour. By the way, not in New Zealand.
No, not in New Zealand. We'd have to worry about
this here. Rest easy.
Play Z&S. Flashworn and Haley.
I don't want to put fear
into people who are
maybe going to enjoy a lovely fast
food over the next week.
Because this is not a New Zealand. It's a
Massachusetts. There's a fast food
worker has been fired, but it's even gone further than that.
Oh, okay.
They were fired after they were filmed with a co-worker being silly billies and laughing
as she grabs a handful of fries, licks them and puts them back in the box and then
suits them to the customer.
Oh, gosh.
See, now I'm pissed off because they're not salty enough.
You've licked the salt off.
You've licked the salt off.
Now they're just going to be soggy.
They're going to be soggy.
salty enough.
Yeah.
So it went viral.
They were dumb enough
to upload this to Snapchat
and then to TikTok.
Oh, wow, they doubled it.
In their uniforms?
Because the video on the news story
has their face blurred out.
Has their face blurred out,
but they're in a recognisable uniform.
And obviously, their workplace caught
wind of this because I went viral.
Everyone was sharing it and saying how disgusting it was.
And fired both of them immediately
for this disgusting
repugnant behaviour. But it's gone even further because the Board of Health then
were looking into this, into
who it was served to and whether or not the customer ate the chips
that have had their salt licked off. And now it's with police
who were actually looking to file some charges.
Well, do you remember it's a couple of years ago the ice cream looking trend?
And that was more in America, I think.
But that was...
People went around to grind.
I was just about to say, did she look at...
Was it, she looked a donut.
She hated America?
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
Yeah.
But that was, because in America, it's a federal crime to tamper with food.
Yeah, so, and that's why, it's because it, depending on who's licked them, it could be a health issue.
Imagine if they had COVID and it was served to someone vulnerable or something like that.
So they're actually looking into it.
They don't know what charges are going to be filed that they haven't seen the specifics around it.
But they're looking into it.
I mean, and you've uploaded your place of work, you in the uniform and your face.
So they're not really going to have a hard time finding you.
I'm always amazed the amount of videos you see from workplaces.
Yeah, what are you doing?
Even just like doing a dance or something in the aisles of Pack and Save or something.
Yeah, just taking the purse.
Aren't you meant to be working?
Yeah.
And then workplaces don't seem to care.
Yeah.
Or maybe they do, but there's something they can do about it.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, they're in a lot of trouble.
But this is, as I say, this is not the behavior of a New Zealander.
never.
No, we would never.
We would maybe...
We love our salt.
We'd love our salt.
We'd maybe nick a chip.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
A little chip tacks.
A little chippedax.
You're allowed to chip tacks at a fast food if you're...
I don't think so because they kind of go straight to the bag or on the tray.
Yeah.
My thing's always like, if I, imagine if you worked at a nice plate, or fast food or fancy
restaurant, the food that like comes back when you bring, get the tray back in or get the plates back
in from waiting stuff.
I'm always like...
Like they haven't had a nice oyster or something.
Yeah, that's a beautiful little yoki you've left here.
Yeah, or that's like half a steak.
You're telling me you're not just going to have a little bit.
It's a wagu.
I'm not even a slice of the steak.
The ZN Podcast Network.
Quishing is on the rise.
QR scams.
So you know QR codes.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You might be like, I don't know, at a restaurant or walking along, see a poster or an
advertisement.
Yes.
And it's got a QR code.
Scan here for more information.
So you scan here.
Sign it.
And maybe it's a link to.
buy something or whatever.
I love a QR code.
It's where the website is swapped out or the QR code is swapped out.
Taking you to a different website.
Taking you to a different website.
So maybe it's even a website that'll look.
I mean, this could easily be done for ordering food.
If you didn't know what the restaurant's website looked like
and someone just at the table put a sticker over it.
Like a fake queue item.
You fake order, but you pay.
Yeah, and then you don't see your money again in the restaurants like,
care of the money, where's my food?
Yeah, the restaurant's like, you didn't order from us.
Oh my God.
This is really something to be wary about.
And same with, you get an email and it looks like an official company and it's like,
scan the QR code to buy this.
And so you do it.
Leave us alone.
Stop trying to scam us.
I know.
So apparently, according to a global cybersecurity company, the scams are on the rise.
And yeah, it's something to look out.
They call it a question.
It's called quishing.
It's like fishing.
It's like fishing.
It's like, you know, the fishing scams.
Yeah.
Fishing with a pH.
I'd be annoyed.
These scams were nearly non-existent a year ago
and now they make up one in ten scams.
Oh no.
So do they give any advice on how to avoid quishing?
Like do you try to pick off the sticker if there's a sticker over top of the...
Yeah, like how when on ATMs they're like look out for a thing that looks odd over the sling.
lot. Yeah, like that's how they
would skim your card details.
So, yeah, at a restaurant they'd be like, we wouldn't use a
sticker. I mean, I think they're just like,
you've just got to be careful of the website you're going to.
Like, check it's the
legit website. But when I want something,
I want it. I know. And I'm just
scanning and getting in there.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, in March
pushing made up 4% of cyber scams
rising past
9% in April. So
it's just kind of like the new way they're getting
us. I just want to say good morning to our scamming
listeners.
Stop it.
Do you know what else they said?
Like, parking meters is a good one.
Like, you'll just go to a parking meter
and someone will just stick a QR code on there
and it might not even be the council's one.
So now they get my money and I'm getting a parking
tickets from the council.
And the council's not going to care about that.
Yeah, they're like, we just want our money.
Apparently even people are seeing these in churches
where they're being asked to make donations.
Oh, my God.
I hadn't even considered churches moving into a QR donation.
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't bring any.
QR.
Yeah, oh, Christ always worked in cash when I went to church as a kid.
Christ, no, thank you.
I would cash and then, you know, we can get a little skim.
Even they're saying, like, look out if it's asking you to log into, like, your
Gmail account, your Microsoft account, any of those, because then they're going to get
that information as well.
They're going to get your login.
Shall we unplug?
Are we unplugging?
We're unplugging from the world.
The internet.
I think we just have a little unplugged.
It's about time.
Should we go to a beach or a field?
Play.
That ends.
Let's warn in Haley.
From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Hi.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
How's Auckland?
Eh?
Yeah.
How's it looking?
Well, it'll be worse because where we put all our biosolids is filling up quickly.
By 2035, the Puketutu Island Quarry, which an area.
So there's Puketu22.
estate which people get married at. It's very posh, very flashed.
Bankoff used to be filmed there.
Yeah, you drive past the Poupons.
You drive over the Poupons.
Which are out by Auckland Airport.
You'd fly over them and be like,
Montgier, in Morgia.
Isn't there a vineyard sort of out that way?
Villamoree.
I feel like that one.
That's not out that far.
No.
But it's kind of you go past that.
Through there, over this land bridge,
the Puckitutu Island, there's the estate,
very flash estate.
It's so nice.
And who knew that's where they dump all the poo.
Well, the poo gets processed around there.
Filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered, treated.
Liquids released into the wild.
And the solids, which I've been told it's called biosolids,
and it represents compost.
It just looks like compost.
You've really got all tizzy and gone really into this, haven't you?
I love the idea of this.
It really chisers for it.
We should poop in our own gardens.
Why aren't we using it as compost?
I don't think it's not.
It can contain toxins because we eat meat.
If we were vegetarians, it might.
be a little. So if you know a vegetarian, they could be
taking a dump right in their garden.
96.96 if you're vegetarian, we could sell your
poops, I guess. Do you poop in the garden and put plants
and broccoli? It's yuck. So we
produce, well the city of Auckland produces
400 tonnes of this
a day. And so the
quarry that they're filling in in 10 years
is going to be full. What do we do with it
next? We've got some options. Can we burn it?
I looked into that. That doesn't sound great. Releases
a lot of carbon dioxide and stuff into the air.
Right. The burning kills everything
except for the heavy metal, so then we're going to be left with like,
concentrated heavy metals. That doesn't sound great.
Burning in general sort of always
feels like it's not a great option.
It's especially plastics.
It feels like you shouldn't be doing it.
So top six things to do with
400 tons of biosolids per day.
Okay.
Number six on the list.
We could make the botanical gardens pop.
The florals would flourish.
The florals.
You know.
Yeah.
The plants will get bigger.
They'll have more flowers and more blossoms.
the more bees.
I think we need more of a hole though, Vaughn.
Why are we putting all this great
fertilizer in a hole?
Number R5 on the list of the top six things.
Can we plant the flowers
in the hole?
Well, they said so when Pookie Tutu Island
is full, they're going to put
earth on top and landscape it so it
looks more like it would have before it was quarry.
That's nice. That's quite nice. That's quite nice.
That's quite nice. It's lovely.
That's the circle of life, as Alton John said in the lane.
Yeah, there might be some sinking though
because they took out of the volcanic rock.
Oh, I'm not standing on it.
No, I would have standing.
Oh, I'm not visiting.
I'm not going there.
No.
Number five on the list of the top six things to do with Auckland's buy-away solids.
I reckon we start filling up Rangatoto.
Huge hole.
It's not that big.
It's not that big.
But then there is the problem.
The mission getting it there.
If it goes off again.
Oh, yeah, that's going to sprinkle it everywhere.
Everyone's going to be sprinkling.
The only thing that would make a volcanic eruption worse is it was lava and poo.
raining compost. It'd be really good for the guard.
Really spread that out there.
Again, flourishing. Number four on the list of the top six things to do with Auckland solids.
Put it in an old horse food sack at the end of the driveway.
Full sale, $2 each, just like the horse owners do.
Well, mum's love that for the garden.
They love that.
Put the manure in the bin, though, because it's got to be proud.
The worms have got to break it down a little bit more before we put it on the garden.
Number three on the list of the top six things to do with 400 tons of biosolids per day in Auckland.
grow mushrooms.
Apparently this stuff's perfect for growing mushrooms.
No, I don't know if I'd want to grow mushrooms and poo.
I don't think I want to eat the poo mushroom.
No.
Once it's heat treated and it kills all the stuff,
it's just like bags of compost we buy from the hardware shop.
You can say that a thousand times though.
I'm not.
I'm not eating it.
Some shittake.
Some oyster mushrooms.
Shittake mushrooms.
No, I'm not.
Some little buttons.
I'm tapping out.
Some little buttons.
Number two on the list of the top six things to do with Auckland Solis.
just make a massive pile of it
with free on a sign free.
It'll be gone on an instant.
Dude's love low trailer.
We do love a free sign.
It just looks like free to opsoil.
Yeah.
Every time I say that, I'm like,
well, you can put that somewhere.
Find somewhere to put that.
Where?
Just in the garden.
Sprinkle it.
You sprinkle it.
Yeah, you got to build up the garden beds.
Got to chuck on that,
chuck on the lawn,
chuck on the hole.
And then one in the list of the top six things
to do with Auckland solids.
Apparently, you can compress them
and make them into a brick.
So I think we start making them into bricks.
You could shit a brick.
And send it back to the people.
Everybody, every now and then, you just get a shit brick.
And you're in the post.
We could use them as putting them around the garden.
We know back in the day, they did make manure thatched roofs.
Yes.
Not human manure and walls.
And in lots of places they make elephant and manure.
And horsehair and stuff into walls.
So we're not living in Africa, are we?
And we could have a company called shit a brick.
Yep.
And we make shipbricks.
Yeah.
And we make walls.
And people buy that when we make homes.
Hmm.
Homes.
I'm not living in a shit home.
I'm not living in it.
I'm just the ideas.
But it's an option.
It's an option.
Yeah.
Far better for the environment than jib board and metal.
I'm just saying shitterbrick, the name's there.
And if you're in a flat and you put a hole in the wall with jib, just put a bit of plaster a bit of poop on top top top.
Yeah, fix it yourself.
That's up to you.
That's the day's top sucks.
work.
Play ZM's.
Let's want and Haley.
Right-handed.
I...
Not me.
Left-handed.
My mum's left-handed and her dad was left-handed.
Okay.
So...
Do you think it's a genetic thing then?
I don't know if it is.
I think it's like a creativity thing.
Like, if you're destined to be a really cool, creative artsy gal,
you're lefty.
Right.
I mean, gone of the day.
They used to beat it out of you.
I sort of wish they had.
because it's a real burden.
You wish your left hand had been,
well my mum remembers kids being beaten
for using their left hand at school.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
And now they're all living in a world
where they can write on a whiteboard
without smearing it.
They don't get ink smears on the side of their hands.
They can just pick up a pair of scissors
and it cuts straight.
Like everything, like mugs are made for right-handed.
Because they put the logo on that side
so that when you're holding it, it's out.
and everyone can see your nifty cup.
And I hold it in my hand.
They just get the blank end and I get the logo.
The whole thing, it's just not made for us.
Well, 90% of humans across all cultures are right-handed,
regardless of where you are.
Minority.
Your race, your creed, your religion.
90% of humans are right-handed.
You pretty get a car park for this.
Oh my God, I should get a permit.
Am I going to get a permit?
Someone's like, you shouldn't be parking there.
Actually, I'm left-handed.
So this is apparently unique among primates.
So like our monkey brothers and sisters.
Also right-handed.
Distance cousins.
No, no, we're unique.
Like they're more evenly spread.
Oh, yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
Yeah.
So they reckon there's two key factors identified.
When we start a walking up right,
which we do all the time, but most primates still...
Oh, when I get home, I'll get down all fours, yeah,
and sort of walk around the house like that.
Yeah.
Just take a bit of a load off the legs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Down the legs.
My kids will be like, oh, look, I'm walking like a furry and be on all, and I'm like,
they don't know.
They don't, yeah, they haven't got to that end of the furry spectrum.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They just think furries that people are like dressing up like animals.
Right.
Not the other stuff.
And our brain expanded.
Because our brain's expanded a bit more than most of our monkey brothers and sisters.
Monkey and fish brothers and sisters.
What since they've just made this breakthrough?
or this discovery?
They studied across 41 primate species
and 2,000 individuals across those species,
48 primates.
Right.
And saw that that's kind of what identified it.
Because when we started walking up right,
we didn't need our hands for...
Yeah.
What they say is locomotion anymore.
So you're saying when Haley was growing up,
she didn't do the locomotion now?
No, she didn't do the locomotion.
I tried, man.
We did it at school.
We locomotion.
We moved those hips now.
Come on, baby.
Do the locomotion.
Jump back.
I think I might have just made.
I missed it.
It's a little bit early for me.
Yeah.
Maybe too early for the locomotion.
It's honestly, I...
I don't pull up the locomotion.
Oh, I think it's a terrible song.
The Kylie Minogue version of the locomotion.
Come on, come on.
Is that it to do the locomotion with me?
Oh my gosh, Kylie Minogue looks so...
Tiny and baby face.
She is?
She is potato.
Yeah.
She is tiny.
Right.
So, okay, so...
It wasn't the original.
No.
I sort of feel like if you've got a kid.
because you know like you just start picking things up
before you learn how to write
because I'm ambidextrous in life
like in sports and stuff
I'll use right-handed and left-handed
What sports do you play?
Cricket, baseball, soccer
I'm left-handed
Okay yeah
tennis, golf
I'm a sportswoman
I've been through this
You're always yeah
because you're always so busy playing sports
Yeah
Do you know actually the only part
This is a bit nerdy
The only part where being left-handed has helped me
is learning piano
because the left-hand is often a driver
and your right hand does the decoration.
So people do all your decoration
and they forget about this and it's really hard
to do your left-hand because they're a bit khaki.
But I had a good driver.
He had a good driver.
So I'll take that.
But I've got a smeary, inky hand
and heaven forbid I see a chalkboard or a whiteboard.
Play that ends, flesh-worn and Haley.
I want to ask the question now
And I don't know if anybody is going to be brave enough to call us up and or text in it and admit this.
But you can do it anonymously.
When should you have stopped and helped out, but you just kept going?
It's like when you see someone absolutely like drop in a packet of like cheery tomatoes or a bag of something in the supermarket, you sort of like,
or they like, scoop past.
Drop groceries and they go everywhere.
Go everywhere.
I remember walking past a cafe and it was a really windy day.
and all of their paper cups had, like, blown out onto the street.
And they all sort of running around getting them.
I was like, I'm just trying to get to.
Yeah.
Trying to get to the shop I wanted to go there.
Yeah, you're just like, this is going to inconvenience to me for a bit.
Yeah.
So this is what happened last, yesterday after work, and I was going home on my scooter.
What time was this?
When do we finish, like...
Oh, right, so it was in the morning.
In the morning.
Because I got sent a video yesterday afternoon.
Have you zoom-zuming on a scooter?
It was, yeah, producer Jared papped me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He messaged.
He's in a hurry to do nothing.
That's what he said to me.
Nothing's changed.
I am in a hurry to do things.
Yeah.
So I was meeting a trader yesterday because I'm doing renovations at the moment.
No.
Cute.
I wish.
Date of tradie.
And I was a couple of minutes late.
And so I was like, I'll get a scooter because normally I'll walk home.
And so it's going up the hill.
And just at the moment I was going up the hill, this older,
man, this older gentleman was crossing the road
he was on his phone and he tripped
over and he
absolutely ate
it like it was horrible to watch.
It is so awful falling over in public too.
And so I stopped my scooter and I was
like on the footpath he was in the middle
of the road and there were road works around
so there were no cars coming and I
and you videoed it and you uploaded it to TikTok
and it's gone viral. No no
so I stopped my scooter and I'm like
oh shit are you okay? Yeah. And he was
just so, and I was like, oh my God,
and I looked down at his pants, had been, like, ripped
open. Oh, how, was he embarrassed?
Because, you know, men get really embarrassed?
He was just, like, yeah, like, a farce year, yeah.
And what he was, because I was like, oh, my God,
do you need me to call you an ambulance?
Because he was, like, away with the fairies.
Yeah.
And was just, like, in shock.
Yeah. This had happened to him.
And he was like, no, no, no, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I just need to stand up.
And I'm like, I don't know if you're going to be able to stand up.
I reckon just, like, sit down from an hour.
And at this point, like, other people that had started,
couple of ladies had come out from a shop
and I was like, oh look, do you have a chair in there?
Maybe let's get a chair for this guy so he can't really sit down.
And then road worker came over and he's like,
do you want an ambulance?
And the guy's like, no, no, I could tell you this right away.
Our boys don't want an ambulance.
Yeah, I think he was too proud for an ambulance, to be honest.
Now, how much, thank you for stopping.
Thank you.
On behalf of that man's family.
Well, I picked up his lovely leather briefcase.
Sounds like a man of class.
Why was this man?
Yeah.
It was a very classy.
He had a posh jacket.
No.
And that's why I was like,
I reckon those pantsies ripped open.
It were very expensive.
Yeah.
And so I grabbed his leather briefcase as fine.
I put that on the footpath.
And yeah.
So then he didn't want a fuss.
He didn't want a fuss,
but I was like, I don't know, man.
But you did stop.
So how much did it actually take out of your day?
Just for next time when you...
We're probably talking five minutes all up.
And then when I was getting to that point
where there were quite a few people now helping.
Yeah.
Which is the worst.
The ladies had gone in to get a first aid kick.
Because he was like, I think I just need a first aid cat.
And I was just like, okay, thinking now.
What was he going to do?
What are we talking?
Stitches, plastics.
I don't know.
A bit of a clean, bit of a gravel clean.
A bit of a gravel clean on the hands.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, okay, when can I leave?
I was like, when do you leave?
I did stop.
I did stop.
And so I just kind of started slinking back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the ladies were kind of how they were doing a fantastic job.
They got them in the chair.
They were bringing the first aid can.
I just was like, sneaking off.
Yeah.
I got the scooter, which, by the way, I hadn't ended the ride, so I did five minutes just ticking over there.
I'm sorry.
You may economically never recover from this.
And then I got on the scooter and he did act.
He thanked me for stopping and helping him.
And I was like, oh, dude, it's totally fine.
Of course.
Like, there was never a time and I was like, I'm just going to keep going.
But there was a small part of me that was like, I am in meeting me someone and I'm going to be five minutes late.
So is that thing, it's like you see people like their cars broken down or they, you know, they're at a campground and they need a bit of a hand.
you're like, I just want to go to the lake.
Or you see a car broken down and you think, well, they must have called someone, they'll be fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you don't stop.
But I don't know, I just, was there a time when you should have stopped, but you didn't and you kept going?
And maybe to this, maybe to this day you feel bad about it.
Or not.
Well, I'd love to.
Keeps your whack at night.
I'd love to hear some stories.
Oh, 800 dials at Amazon number.
You can text through 9-696.
When should you have stopped, but you just kept on going.
I didn't.
I stopped.
Yeah.
What a hero.
Thank you.
The guilt of people who have not stopped thinking about the time that they should have stopped,
but they kept on going.
Well, this was a conundrum yesterday.
Do I keep going?
Do I help the man that fell over?
But you stopped. I stopped.
You're a good boy.
Good boy.
He's a good man.
He's a good Samaritan.
Thankfully, you know, there wasn't a lot of blood.
If there'd been a lot of blood, I would have been out.
You're out.
Because, you know, I can't even look on the TV in the movies when they do an injection or a cut.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll have been a bit woozy.
Yeah.
I'd be a terrible paramedic.
I'd just do the transfers to the hospital.
I just love that summer message in saying,
this haunts me to this day.
Oh, okay, love that.
When I was younger, I was driving through a quiet town
and there was an old lady.
I'm not laughing.
I'm not laughing.
I'm laughing because it's sad.
Okay.
There was an old lady on a mobility scooter crossing the road.
She hit the curb up on the path too hard
and she came crashing off a scooter.
I just kept driving.
I didn't stop and I hate myself.
Oh my God.
Okay, I wouldn't stop for that.
Old lady go up a curb on a mobility scooter and went off.
backwards and stopped and went and out
and she was like
so embarrassed she's like
I'm stupid and old and I'm
I was like no you're fine
you're not it's the curbs fault
so did you bang your head
no
and you're like my name is
Vaughn Smith for the will
but just tell everybody
yeah
just tell everybody
and you're back off to the retirement home
here's a couple of
here's a couple of ZDM stickers
put them in the
tune in
I ran over a cat as a teenager
and after confirming
it was a goner by looking
in the rearview mirror
Oh my God
I kept driving
Couldn't bring myself to move it
I'll never forget
RAP sweet cat
Good friend of ours
Has hit a cat and didn't stop
Unbelievable
My brother had a cat
And he was a vegetarian
For 10 years afterwards
The cat was a vegetable
No
What in a little wheelchair
You've taken just a couple of small parts
Of the sentence
I said and made your own sentence
Oh your brother was a vegetarian
My brother accidentally had a cat
He was eating cats
No he was eating meat
And it renewed his source
Of appreciation of life
and he went vegetarian for 10 a decade.
What kind of guilt is that?
That's crazy.
We're a cat family and it just screwed him up.
Right.
And then one day he went to a barbecue and he had a couple of drinks
and they were cooking sausages and he was like, I'm back.
I'm back, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm back.
I was just starting out at the gym and you know how when you first start
you pretend you don't exist and you don't see other people.
So I was on the treadmill and I was doing my sprints.
And the lady next to me tripped on the treadmill and she flew off.
and was lying on the ground.
It was lying on the ground behind me.
But my 30 second sprint was coming up.
So I just looked forward and I just continued running
and I think of it every time I'm on the treadmill.
Every time.
I love the guilt.
To this day.
To this day people are thinking about this.
I should have stopped when it was engaged in an engagement,
but no, I married him.
It's different.
It's also when you should have stopped.
When you should have stopped.
I work for St. John.
Off duty, I always stop.
And on Judy, obviously.
I'm required to.
But off duty, I've stopped
probably hundreds of times.
The only time I haven't stopped to see if someone was okay
was when I saw three drunk dudes
walking home from a bus stop
and one was being physically dragged by the other two.
Oh dear.
I told myself it wasn't safe to stop.
But honestly, I just picked up Mackies
and I didn't want to share it with them
and the chips were going to get cold if I stopped.
Yeah, fair, fear, fear.
So keep going on.
Someone said, a poo kick or, I mean, I'm okay with us.
Are they pissed?
Are they pissed?
No, they're technically natives.
They came here from Australia, so I reckon we're going to.
A pookegaw flew into my driver's side window and fell to the ground.
But I was late to an appointment as I was driving off.
And then I looked behind and a car has pulled over to stop and help the pookegon.
I immediately felt horrible and guilty.
But what could I have done?
No, what are you going to do?
Take it to a vet?
Then you've got to pay for it.
No.
It's just life.
It's a supergogo.
There was something born.
Picking at my oranges.
Remember on the Lion King when his dad got run over by the truck and then they sung Circle of Life?
That's just how it is.
That's how it is.
Yeah.
That's how it is.
I'm a nurse and on my way home after shift.
I witness an old lady pull out in front of an oncoming car.
There was a crash.
I kept driving.
I was very tired.
Very tired.
I mean, I suppose the other car's here to help.
It's not like they're crashed by themselves.
I'm a first responder and I was running a half marathon.
And I was heading for a PB.
That's a personal best.
You're off the clock.
You're off the clock.
Ran around a corner and someone had collapsed on the road.
There was two people there were.
already, so I carried on.
I riddled with first responder guilt to this very day
I should have stopped. No, but you know, you've done
enough. You've done enough. Someone said, I used to be
an ambulance officer and I came across a car accident
once. Well, I was pretty fresh in the
role and I didn't want the pressure of all the public
that were there for them to look at
me to sort it out. So I did a quick scope
at the scene as I was driving by and I came to the
conclusion, they've got enough help and I went to the end
of the road. And I helped direct
traffic instead.
That's cool. Sort of not my mouth.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a bit of a crowd there.
I'm a new Amber.
My friend and I were walking through the city
and an old man was sitting on some public seating
those ones with the garden behind them
and he leaned back too far and fell back into the garden.
We just watched it happen and when we walked back.
Shannon is laughing at that one.
Shannon.
Be a good Samaritan.
We walked past, he resembled a turtle stuck on his back.
In all fairness, somebody else stopped
and he yelled them and that he didn't need any effing help,
but he was still flailing around and he said,
well, he doesn't want help.
They're too proud, aren't they?
We've had a couple of messages in from veterinarians
who are not happy with your flesh.
What do you mean?
You don't have to pay if you drop off an injured animal.
So it's always worth it.
Who's paying?
The vet's paying.
Well, no, no, I don't think...
Well, then, can I just drop off my dog next time?
I'll be like, I don't know who's this is, but I'll come back from half an hour.
Sir, he's got a tennis ball inside him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
If you could get that out, though, and I'll be back.
How long do you record this will be back?
I'll take it back to where I found him.
He's really cute.
I could adopt him.
Yeah, maybe I'll adopt them.
I'll hold them to him.
You guys seem busy, but if you just take care of this stuff.
I was on the bus one morning, staring at my phone.
I realized the bus had stopped for a little while,
and I was a little bit annoyed.
But stayed focused on my phone.
I eventually moved, realizing later,
the reason for the delay was my husband had been hit by a car on his bike.
What?
Wait, you were on the bus.
Yeah.
And the bus stopped.
The bus stopped because this person's husband had been hit by a car
when he was on his bike.
And she's like, what's the eff and hold?
Why, we stopped?
This is nothing to do with us.
Ridiculous.
Bloody moved out of his lane and got a car.
I can't stand, sightless.
She sees her husband on the road.
No, she said she didn't know until she drove past.
And she was like, God, cyclist.
It wasn't until later on I got a call from a hospital.
That had been hit.
And I said, oh, whereabouts?
You should have stopped.
Yeah.
What happened at the recent Sydney Half Marathon?
The recent Sydney Half Marathon still haunts me.
People were dropping like flies.
I usually stopped, but I was hunting a personal best.
one girl face planted
and fainted into a metal barrier
200 metres from the finish.
Was it hot or something?
Or maybe there was a big tumble, you know,
and people started falling over each other.
See, and I just want to reiterate this
as when you should never run a marathon.
Apparently there was severe hate
during the event.
People are fainting.
New South Wales ambulance treated 40 runners
with 26 hospitalized
and 7 in serious condition.
Jesus.
I just don't think we, this is why we don't run.
This is why we don't run.
I can't be fainting.

Why does so many men
end up dating women
that look exactly like their ex?
Examples of this, a few
famous examples, Lewis Hamilton.
He was with Nicole Shr-Shan-Thing-Hang-Hang
from Pussy Cat Dolls
and now he's with Kim Kardashian.
I don't think they look the same.
The only thing they've got in common is a slightly...
Hot and brown.
Hot and brown.
What another version of a...
I mean, that's a...
type more than it is. Remember Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and then he replaced her with her.
That's a great example. That I can, yeah. I definitely can think of a few examples that I know of.
In friends groups. In friends groups and stuff where, yeah, you're just like, what, like, okay.
That's the same one. That's the same one. You've done the same thing all over again.
So there's a psychologist and a founder of thought readers. His name's Phil McLeod. He says it's a very
common thing, particularly in men that they end up dating someone that looks like their ex.
And it is because of a slight, I don't want to upset people, a slight simplicity with men and how much they can take.
Are you saying we simple?
We're simple people.
We're a simple creature.
You're a simple creature.
It's known as a subconscious familiarity seeking habit that's shaped by past positive experiences.
So even if you're...
It's the same reason.
Fittler Fletch eats mints.
Every day.
It's a familiarity.
I don't eat mints all the time.
They actually don't like mince.
You love mints.
You literally are eating mints as we talk.
He's got a bowl of mints beside him.
As he does every morning.
Yeah, it would be the same reason I ate chicken every night.
It's familiarity.
It's familiar.
So men's brains, all brains do this, but men's do it more.
Form relationship templates or love maps.
It's a subconscious reference point for attraction.
So it's kind of just like, I like this.
Yes.
And I know what I like.
Rather than your brain going, maybe I'll think outside of that,
you just go, okay, onto the next one, here's what I like.
Well, so men don't engage in the variety being the spice of life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is a generalisation, but it actually happens in the brain that this is happening,
this attachment theory, and it's sort of like, I've got my little thing
and that's where I'm safe and that's what I've always done.
But what about men that cheat on their girlfriend or their wife with the same-looking person?
It's the same thing.
They're just going like, that's...
That's me.
That's what I do.
I like this type.
That's what I do.
These are the people that I go for.
Why is this a man thing?
It's literally in the brain when they studied the brain.
This is like a little part that...
Women do it too.
We're all got a type.
But it's a pattern-forming thing that happens in the brain.
It just happens stronger for men,
which is why men will often date people
that look very similar to their exes,
more so than women.
We're familiar.
It's comfort.
Yeah.
It's too much to think of trying something else.
We just want to be with what we like.
But why didn't you try a hot Brazilian?
Just saying, like, why don't you?
Yeah, but all you do is hot Brazilian.
You know, all you try is hot Brazilian.
Oh, so you're saying just try an average white person.
Got after that.
Somebody said, is this why men always end up with people who look like their mothers?
Because they're familiar with...
Oh, it's completely is the same thing.
Really?
It's totally the same thing.
It's a familiarity, a comfort.
but this is, it's something in my subconscious
that makes me go, I like this.
I like my mummy and I like this one.
Oh, no, don't say that.
Your subconscious needs to reset.

A little poll today is, are you a fan of games nights?
Well, you know, when you get your adult friends,
you're less likely to go out, aren't you?
You might just stay at home in the cost of living.
everyone's staying in.
Well, not you.
I'm keeping the party life alive and I'm thriving as a result.
I really struggle with games that I don't already know the rules.
With?
That's frustrating.
Yeah.
You want to be excellent at it immediately.
Yeah, I just get...
No, not excellent at it.
I just want to understand it immediately.
I get bored.
I get bored.
I get bored.
And then if I'm not bored, I'm getting too competitive and so I'm not having fun
because then I'm like losing and I'm not having fun.
And I hate it when you were the group of friends and someone's like,
let's play a game.
It's like, let's just talk and have fun.
Let's just talk and yarn and listen to music and have a little dance.
Yeah.
Oh, no, we don't have a little dance.
But we don't need to be playing some board game that's insanely convoluted and...
Yeah.
Concentrate, concentrate.
Let's just play a fun one.
But then some couples will love to sit at home by themselves and play games.
Yeah.
And learn new games constantly.
I know.
Where do they keep all the rules in their brain?
Yeah.
Yeah, I need to be refreshed on every game every single time
other than maybe like Monopoly and Scrabble.
Yeah.
So are you a fan of game nights?
73% of people said yes.
Well, we're in the minority.
27% of people said no.
I don't want to have a games night with you guys.

Mark's really leaching into all aspects of the show at this stage.
It's like, guys, let's play settlers of Katana.

Hannah says, I am, but no one around me is. I want to come to Queensland and have a
game's night with me in June when I come over to my birthday. See, you're in Queensland and you
want to have a games night? See, we'll go to Queensland. We'll go to Blue Canoe.
We'll go to Blue Canoe. And we'll eat too much. And then there'll be no games.
No. The game will be how quickly will I fall asleep and will I wash myself before I do?
Yeah, the game is, will my pants fit tomorrow?
Alana said absolutely, and I'd have to say
close to, I'd have to say
that close to 100 games that take up most of my lounge wall
would say so also. Oh, wow, okay, so you're really into it.
I always say games with me for any road trip,
it's just hard getting people to play with me, and I get annoyed
if my components suck. Components?
Components, yeah.
And I guess she's not playing Scrabble, is she?
And I get annoyed if my...
opponents suck and I win easy because that makes it boring.
Yeah.
100 games.
Some of those board games aren't cheap.
Not only not.
They're like 100 bucks sometimes.
I mean, some of them are beautiful just to look at all the different bits and pieces.
Well, I haven't happened to tick-tac-toe, you know.
So easy at all.
You need one pen.
Yeah.
Because you can share pens.
Pass the pen back and forward.
A bit of paper.
Yes, said Tessa, but only in a casual manner adding a light card game to chat is fine.
As someone tries to start explaining how four different board maps will take
three hours to complete, I'm jumping out of a window.
Yeah. We'll just explain it as we go
along. No. Should we do an
open one first? You know, we all reveal
out. I'm like, ah, I'm all good.
Tom said, I only enjoy it when people play the
effing game. Nothing worse than halfway
through a game's night. People start talking about
their day. We're here for games.
Wow. Okay, taking
seriously. Another one, Shea says, only when
people pay attention and know when it's their
turn. I'm married, I'm a married woman with young
kids, this is the only kind of social
couple's activity we have. Oh, that's cute.
Catan all the way. Oh, okay.
Set was off. They know the rules, said.
Catan. Kate, when someone starts explaining
any kind of game to me, my brain just shuts
down and I can't process a thing. I'd rather
be the host and pass food around and top up
the glasses for those playing and know between.

You just take your leave.
It just takes so long.
Yeah, especially a thumping party.
Yeah, you're like, where are you going?
Don't leave, yeah.
Have one more.
I want to though I'm ready.
I know you both enjoy this because I find it hard to leave a party.
But I've often looked, I've had it with both of you.
I've looked around and been like, where's Fletch?
Gone.
He's born.
He's gone, mate.
I'm like.
It's just easier.
It's harder when it's at your house.
No, but you've done it.

Yeah, I just go to bed.
Yeah.
Now, our friend Dr. Shawnee has just messaged me saying it's rude.
Yeah, but Dr. Shawnee is a look.
You and now and miss you on the mouth, goodbye.
This is why he's always late to appointments.
So it's slipping out of a party without saying goodbye
known as the Irish exit or the French exit or the Swiss.
I've always thought French because I always thought it was weird.
It was called Irish because the Irish are very social people.
Well, apparently, other than just saving you time
by not having to say goodbye to everyone,
it's good, it can benefit your mental health.
Psychologist Trudey Mann.
She says goodbye requires significant mental and emotional effort
to go, right, I've got to say goodbye,
and then you're going to be all polite.
Do you know what?
I think New Zealand, it's harder,
not just because you've got to say goodbye
and make the effort to say goodbye to everybody,
it's because you've also got to put up with,
why are you going?
Why are you drinking?
Exactly.
Ooh, you're so boring.
No, stay.
It's pretty good working these hours because people are like, oh, he'll be tired.
No, you've been up since four.
Yeah, and they do it five days a week.
Yeah.
Most people do that one day of the week and they're like, I don't know how you do this.
My favourite thing is, I can't believe you're still going.
Oh, of course.
Take off.
People are literally telling you to go home.
Don't you have work in the morning at 4 o'clock in the morning?
When I got off stage last night at 10.30pm and I was sat on the stoop of the theatre having a glass of wine.
And someone was like, go home, spray.
Get out of here.
But it's because it is, you're already socially,
your social battery is already depleted,
and now you're going to juice it again for all these good bars.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't actually need to.
No one cares.
Just leave.
You're just just leave.
Yeah.
It just like, I like to do a thing where I tell like, you know, my good friends,
hey, hey, just so you know, you might not see me soon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just look, you know, I may have sent a couple of text messages
and I'm going to be following those up and I'll be out of here.

Brinsen for deal or reveal and we're down to five cases. I can see case 9, 10, 4, 12 and 20.
They are the cases that remain unopened. One of those cases contains $5,000,
which means Sarah, you have a one and five chance of picking that case.
Good odds. Oh my gosh. Yes, I'm so, honestly, I'm shaking.
I studied, I did maths, that's 20%.
Okay, yeah, a 1 in 5.
That was probably one of the easiest stats, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but you didn't say it because you're a dumb-dum.

You got me.
Okay, well, Sarah, the big moment.
Which case would you like us to pick for you today?
I would like to go with number nine, please.
No, potion number nine.
Here it is.
Briefcase number.
Now, I had a good feeling about number nine.
Yes, that's why I've picked it.
Oh, no, no, I know this.
No, Sarah.
Oh, don't put it on, Haley.
Hang on, where are you?
I like case number 10.
Sarah, I had a good feeling about case number three.
Oh, yeah.
And that's five dollars.
And that's the five bucka.
Yeah, so honestly, I don't think there's any kind of psychic.
Three, three's a nine.
Oh, yeah.
And third time's the charm.
Oh, there you go.
I would have gone case 10.
It just looks like a nice, beautiful round.
Oh, it's too obvious.
10. Okay.
Oh, you're a fat for you're on back.
With heartburn.
Well, I'm not the one on the quickies, am I?
Oh, shut up.
Brin, case number nine, what's your first deal for Sarah?
I had a chat to the boss before coming in,
and because we've only got five cases left,
I'm going to up every offer for the rest of the game.
Oh, wow. So then it's not obvious which case.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, because, you know, one of them does have 5K in it,
and I'm freaking out a little bit.
Okay.
Why, do you think
Why, Brinnes was always going to happen?
I'm also freaking out that maybe we didn't put 5K in one of the cases.
Oh, I can't imagine it.
Because it's taken this long.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's taken this long.
Okay, well, what's your first deal for Sarah?
Sarah.
Sarah.
Sarah, Sarah.
Quite contrarra.
Would you take $800?
$800?
It's a lot of money.
of Sarah when I say, no.
No.
Mathematically, if there's
$5,000 in one case and there's
five cases left, and the five bucks
is gone. You're not taking any less than a thousand.
Yeah, the five bucks is gone.
150's gone. There's some... 50's gone.
There's good money
in there. That's just my
math. That's terrible maths. That's a good number,

800's a lot of money. What are you guys on?
That's insane.
I reckon Sarah's here for a bit of fun.

Sarah, are you here for a bit of fun?
we confirm you here for a bit of fun?
A bit of what, sorry?

A bit of a gambled.
A bit of a risk.
Yeah, I am feeling risky.
I'm in a lot of financial debt right now.
I'm changing from casual to full time,
so I haven't sorted lots of things.
I'm really costing and turning right now.
$800 to a lot.
It wouldn't be enough by the same word.
Oh, my God.
Sarah, have we afterpaid a few jackets?
What was that?
No, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
We don't need to know where your money is sitting.
I just want to know whether or not $800 is satisfactory.
Well, let's just say there is $5K in that case.
I don't know.

I would get horse fees.
Wait a minute, you said you're in financial trouble.

Okay.
He said, just go for the briefcase.
Oh, my gosh.
I honestly thought that sounded like a conservative old white man to me.
Yeah.
Does he have shares in the horse?
Um, yeah, I'll probably just do the reveal, eh?
Like, why not?
Fuck it.
Sarah.
Sarah, this is a family show.
She's nervous.
She's nervous.
Horse girls are crazy.
Horse girls are wild man.
Unpredictable.
Buck wild stallions.
Okay.
Is there going to be your final life for bread at $800?
Yeah, and even 800's too much.
And she just swore, so he's not giving another offer.
Oh, okay.
Let's do it. Come on.
Seriously?
Yeah.
We're going to...
Nine, we'll just reveal it.
Okay, you're going to pass up $900.
$800. $800 for brief cash?
Number nine.
Number nine. I'm flicking the switch.
Come on.
Click it. Flick the switch. Yep, just reveal it.
I'm just going to do it. I was going to do it.
It's five grand.
Yeah!
Would you like to swear again?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Sarah, congratulations.
$5,000 is yours with deal or reveal.
I've got goosebumps.
I don't know.
So, I don't know.
They just saw the five grand.
Is that going to help out with the debt?
My boss are hugging.
Oh, actually, I don't know if that's appropriate.
Actually, I don't know if that's appropriate.
I don't know if that's appropriate.
Honestly, your boss would have felt so bad if he was like, nah, take the eight.
Yeah.
I'd like to change my offer.
Would you take a thousand?
Sorry, Brad.
Brain.
Amazing.
Well, I congratulations, Sarah.
What are you going to do with that $5,000?
Oh, my gosh.
I just pay everything back and then have some savings and then just go out for dinner, just do something nice.
Oh, Sarah.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I've got my eye on this other horse.
No, that is so nice.
I do owe some money for a horse.
So I'm going to pay that back.
Maybe let's stop buying.
Don't worry about the horse.
Sarah, stop buying horses.
Very expensive.
So happy that it's, yeah, it's going to bring some joy for you.
$5,000 is yours.
And Bryn, going forward, Brian and Clint with another chance this afternoon,
there are still four briefcases left.
There's still lots of money in the briefcases.
Still lots of money.
And you said that you're going to be offering quite nice and high.
I will be.
Yeah.
Sarah gets the 5.
I just screamed down like 10
10 buildings right now.
I'm in work and I just screamed
out of the place.
You're going to evacuate the bonus.
Take the day off.
Take the day off.
Yeah, yeah.
You're allowed to.
Sarah, congratulations.
Our $5,000 winner for deal or a deal.
Well done.
Play.
Playes.
That ends.
Flesh, one and Haley.
The question I want to ask you right now,
I'm so happy.
I'm still fizzing.
$5,000 we just gave away.
to lovely Sarah. How fun.
Now, the question I want to ask you now, though, is...
Well, actually, could I go for some listener feedback on the segment?
Yeah.
But please do it. On the 9-6-9-6.
I'm too pregnant for this.
Oh, yeah.
We've got tears in the car, do we?
It's crying.
Crying. Somebody said,
my horses are technically owe me a lot of money, too.
Can I open the next case?
Now, we're not just enabling people's expensive equine hobby here.
That's not all we're about.
The chosen radio station for horsey girls.
Somebody said, I picked Case 9.
on day number one.
Oh, I've been nine from day one.
I'm so stoked to went to somebody so deserving.
So that's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
Yeah, really sounded like she needed that.
Yeah.
So that's nice.
So we're going to go from something nice to something about yuck, and I just want to preface.
Yeah.
I want to ask you, what did you accidentally eat?
You know, that like something that you found in your meal or something went into
and down it went because chef?
Thank you for explaining how accidentally eating something work.
Do you welcome.
How eating something.
Well, things go into your mouth and then they go down.
And it goes down and sort of into your stomach area where food would usually go,
but what you've eaten is actually not food.
Now if it comes back up.
That's a big no-no.
That's a big no-no.
Because chef, I was going to say Peter Gordon,
chef Gordon Ramsey, who was working on the new series of Master Chef Global Gauntlet.
It's just like chefs all around the world.
Global Gauntlet.
Is that on a streamer or is British?
Because that sounds like it's.
US.
Oh, right.
Okay.
US.
Yes.
Master Chef, US.
but it's called Global Gornlet.
The contestants were tasked
for creating stadium food
from their culture or their heritage.
So something that you could easily have
ahead of the, at the World Cup.
Oh, right, okay.
And Nora, as a contestant,
she's representing Team Africa
and she made a Haddock
and Makuda sandwich
with Chimola Mayo
and Mediterranean salads.
I would eat that a lot.
Yes, that's immediately.
It sounds amazing.
Would you also,
enjoy the Band-Aid that was
inside of it. If the sandwich
was free, you'd be surprised what I'd put up with.
Wait, you were telling me Gordon Ramsey ate a plaster.
He must have swore like crazy.
He was like,
he was dry reaching and going to
throw up, and it's just so
unfortunate that this happened on like Master Chef
televised and the person eating
it is not like a punter. It's
Gordon Ramsey.
So yeah, so she had a plaster.
Was it a blue plaster? Because you have to... No, it was skin
coloured. Oh, wow. I know. What are they
doing in there.
But has he been to her part of Africa?
Maybe this is traditional.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think it is born.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't want to talk on behalf of people of Africa.
Yet here you are, speaking on behalf of people of Africa.
Wow.
I do apologize.
I would never.
But this band-y...
It's only a small portion of Africa.
Yoch, yoch.
Just the southern part.
He ate a band-aid.
He didn't, it didn't go down.
He managed to spit it out, but it is just disgusting.
I want to know what you're finding your food and you accidentally ate it.
Did you see that?
No, I want to know what you're finding your food.
You have to found it in your mouth.
And maybe you're solid of it.
Oh, yeah, like you're eating.
And then a fly's like, mew.
And you go.
Okay, well, 0800,000 em is a number.
Text through 9-696.
What did you accidentally eat?
Rachel, what did you accidentally eat?
Well, I used to get stomach cakes when I was little,
and part of the process was an ultrasound.
And when they put the little thing on,
there was a button in my tummy.
You'd eat the button
Do you remember eating the button?
I don't remember eating it.
Waits, now, kids are always sticking things in their mouths.
I wonder if, because Haley Worn did just go get you some quickies.
Have you checked for buttons?
I'm not seeing any buttons.
They do look similar.
I'm wearing a button up shirt today.
You could have accidentally.
I could have sucked down a button.
Does that mean I get to have one of more quickies?
How did they get the button out, Rachel?
Well, they didn't.
I guess nature took care.
You pooped it out.
Oh, okay, right.
So do you think the button was the cause of the stomach cakes?
No, it wasn't.
I still got them.
Oh, okay.
You just get them every now and again.
Maybe more buttons.
Yeah, you should try more buttons.
You're saying eat more buttons.
Yeah, I'm saying eat more buttons.
Yeah, because that might be the problem is these
imbalance in buttons.
You've got an even amount of buttons.
Your stomach became accustomed to buttons and you're not feeding it enough buttons.
Do two or four or six?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But never more than 12.
Never more than 12.
Rachel, thank you.
Some messages in.
I used to eat stones in primary school.
Just little stones.
I'd put them on my mouth and then swallow them.
I'd love to say this was accidentally, but it wasn't.
There's a condition for that, eh?
Where you eat, you know, mower, I think you're a moor.
Because they used to eat stones to aid with digestion, the big birds.
The moa ate stones.
Correct.
Yeah.
Well, that's probably why they're not around anymore because that's...
And then they tried to go swimming, and of course there's no beating that.
I found half a bird.
Spiro pen and a scone.
Pica. P-C-C-C-C-C-T-A.
P-I-C-C-A. It's an eating disorder involving
consuming substances with no nutritional value.
Oh yes, like people that ate paper or like styrofoam and dirt and stuff.
I remember watching a documentary about a woman who was pregnant
and who craving was dirt.
We've talked about your weird pregnancy cravings before on the show
and it blew.
They all dip in their finger in cold water surfing bit like, yum.
Nibling on soaps and stuff.
The consumption of stones or pebbles is called lithophagia.
Lithophagia?
Yeah.
Stones and pebbles.
Yeah.
I've spent too much money on my teeth.
Wood or bark is lymphophagia.
I don't know if I'm saying it, right?
Fagia's the throat, right?
Because it's...
You're soft vagus.
Yeah.
Wow.
I was eating green grapes at a wedding and I found an unusual texture in my mouth.
Spat it out.
It was a little snail.
He had a slight crack in his shell, but he survived.
Did you say he have germs?
Did you see that video?
So many germs.
That was going viral this week.
Someone over in Australia went to the supermarket and got a little packet of salad.
And there was a frog inside.
A little frog inside?
That's great protein actually.
Gemma, what did you accidentally eat?
Oh, God.
Yeah, no, it wasn't pleasant.
Okay.
Yeah, no, I, halfway through my sandwich,
what I had made, looked down at my sandwich and saw some little wriggly,
worms.
There were maggots in it.
How did you make that without noticing, Gemma?
Or had you left the sand?
I just don't, I don't, still to this day, do not understand how I didn't know.
What's in the sandwich?
It was literally just ham.
Literally just ham.
Did you, what about your margarine?
Maybe you need to throw it your margarine.
Did you marge butter?
Oh no, but that was, because I went back, looked at the ham and it was definitely the ham.
Oh, no.
God, I thought you would have a smell.
You know how ham gets a bit.
smelly?
If your hands
in the fridge
it has gone back
in the fridge
it had gone back in the fridge.
So obviously
something had landed on
no,
you know,
it wasn't mine.
I can't
I don't know
how to digest
this information
like it's just so upsetting
yeah digest
is what happened
oh
I mean approach
prox
and gut health
you know gut health
thanks too
it's a good for you
thanks Gemma
I once got a rap
and it had a key
inside
oh no
That was part of the key promotion that they were running.
Find the key.
Unlock the, um...
Unlock the dream house.
Yeah.
Unlock your dream house.
Inside one rap this year.
Yeah.
Somebody else said, I found a hairnet and a pie.
I found out because I started choking on it,
I grabbed it and started pulling it out and it just kept coming.
Stop it.
Does big the question, where's the head?
Actually, that's the bigger question.
That was on...
No, no, it's a simple question.
It was a head and cheese pie.
Oh, so the head was expected, but the head was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My apologies, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had complained at a cafe about my eggs.
They sent them out back and they came back to me,
and I double-checked the eggs, and as I rolled them over,
I noticed some nail clippings under the eggs.
When they pointed out, they said, I'm very sorry, that's eggshell.
I'm a beauty therapist.
I know nail clippings when I see it.
They were pissed off that I'd send the eel back,
so they hid their nail clippings underneath.
That.
Oh, no, that's not good.
That's bad news.
Never going back to that place.
She was never complaining about food again.
I once had a fly in my hot chocolate.
I didn't know it was a fly.
I thought it was a lump of chocolate until I crunched it.
I mean, sometimes if there's a sandfly gets into my wine and it's a nice one,
I'm just going down with a wine.
Try to get it out with a finger.
I'll figure it out for a bit.
It's not coming out.
I can't get it.
It won't stick to my finger.
And I always think, like, what a death.
What a way to go.
That would be like you going in a giant tub of chocolate or something.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
And it's just be like, oh, look.
literally but like her going in a giant glass of wine.
Actually it would.
Going to a wanner end going into the vats.
Yeah. And then...
And then...
Gobbed by a giant.
Yeah, and then...
Thank you pardon. Excuse me?
I heard you said that.
I had purchased some shredded chicken
years ago. I was eating it.
I thought that tastes minty for shredded chicken.
Turns out somebody else's chewing gum had fallen into it.
Why is that so yucky?
Yeah.
Also, that texture, the like gnail of chewed gum.
That's gross.
Mum made me porridge when I was a kid and put raisins in it.
When I finished, I said,
Mom, thank you so much.
The raisins was so yum.
She said, I didn't put raisins in it.
Turned out they were weevils.
Remember we had weevils in the Milo in this building?
You've got to throw everything out when you've got the wevils.
Anything that's dusty.
The weevils.
The weevils cause absolute chaos.
They move in and just go into anything dusty.
We had quite a few emails around the building about the weevils, didn't we?
We did, yes.
It started in the Milo.
They migrated to the fridge.
Well, somebody kept their grain wave, didn't they?
The weevils were living in the grain waves
And they didn't throw out the grain waves
And then we got weevils again
I can understand
Sam Wallace
Because that's one of your gym
Cereals
Greenwaves
Oh I was thinking of NutraGrains
Sorry I was thinking NutraGrager
We were both thinking neutral grains
We were both meaning neutral grains
We're talking about Sam Wallace's
You can see what we
Weavles wouldn't live in
In green waves
I don't think
Even they don't approve of the change of recipe
They're pissed off
They're like this is shrink flashed
And we've ever changed the recipe of
grain waves needs to be fired.
They were a perfect chip.
They were a perfect chip and they ruined them.
Guys, we're living in the porridge.
Why are we living in the grain waves?
They go in the like,
they're not as good as they used to be.
I mean, they're trying to make them healthier.
Back to the porridge.
The Z&M Podcast Network.
Play ZDM's Fleshhorn and Haley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
It's Volcanoe, we're here at Factor today, and today's one, this blue, this pickled my mind.
Okay.
It blew my mind.
A bit of a mind-blowing situation.
For this, our fact, we have to go to Cameroon.
Oh, yeah?
In Africa, to Lake Nios in Cameroon.
The year, 1986.
Lake Nios and Cameroon sits in a volcano.
Crater. Now, magma beneath the lake slowly leaks carbon dioxide into the water, right?
This is the same principle as your at-home soda stream or water carbonization system.
Take it out, have some lovely, bubbly water.
But because it's so deep, 210 meters at the bottom and the pressure of water, as we know,
from the submersibles that went down to see the Titanic, the lower you go, the more the pressure
pushes. So the carbon dioxide leaks into the bottom of the lake and the water is
pressured, which holds it down
but also puts the carbon dioxide
into the water. Are we following so far?
No. So effectively, we've just got
a cork. The water acts like a cork
in this big crater and the gas is getting leaked in at the bottom.
The water sits on top. The water
at the top pushes down. And because
it's in a tropical setting, it doesn't circulate
around like it does with cold water, where it gets
hot at the top and then cools off and falls down and there's a
circular thing kind of stays in its layers. So the bottom one
is loaded with carbon dioxide.
Now, there is a, they believe, like a landslide or some sort of action that pushes rock down into the bottom of the crater.
Oh, oh.
Which disturbs it and pushes the carbon dioxide up, to which the pressure is not enough to hold it down anymore.
So this carbon dioxide.
Not the ceiling can hold us.
That's what I imagine is playing.
That's exactly what's happening.
This is the moment.
Tonight is the night.
As carbon dioxide, 1.6 cubic kilometers.
Oh, it's a lot.
That's a lot.
phenomenal amount of soda streaming being done with that much carbon dioxide
comes up out of the water inside of like a burp
and it burps, it goes up but it's heavier than air
so it rolls down the side of the volcano.
It suffocates 1,800 people
when they don't even know.
When did this happen?
This happened in 1986.
There was no smell, no explosion, just a fart from the lake.
A fart.
There was no massive earthquake because it wasn't an eruption.
The landslide that caused it was just a natural landslide,
but it came up out of a volcano.
The carbon dioxide had just been building up over decades.
Yeah.
They don't know when this had happened previously,
but they're like, of course it would have happened previously
because the carbon dioxide levels would have just got too much at some stage.
Anyone would have leaked out.
1,800 people in 3,500,000 livestock died like that.
People were found dead in their beds at their dinner tables
on paths walking down the side of the road.
Animals were just dead in the vicinity.
Oh, that's awful.
So one survivor...
I was laughing.
talking about tharts.
Yeah.
And now I'm upset.
Survivor woke up, apparently,
right on the outskirts of where the carbon dioxide
mixed enough with oxygen and sunk low enough because it was so heavy
that they must have been slightly higher than people they were in the house with
who they woke up surrounded by corpses.
Oh, that's awful.
That's awful.
Don't like that.
And then, so what's happened now, do they still live by this lake?
Pipes.
Pipes.
They've run pipes down into it.
Fart pipes.
Oh, far pipes.
So it's a slow venting of carbon dioxide rather than one large, like, volcanic
burp that silently,
invisibly
killed everyone.
No smell, no nothing.
They couldn't feel it.
All of the senses that are usually
alert us to these sorts of things.
None of it existed and it just a silent killer
came out of Lake Niles, at Top of Volcano and a camera.
What a story.
Are we enjoying Volcano Week?
I'm loving it.
See, this is like a great...
It's rich. It's sort of like
we're learning things, we're understanding
things we've always wondered about.
It's exciting. It's dangerous.
Yeah, remember this week when you come up
with another calendar or...
That there's so many topics out there.
And they're like chess and calendars, ain't it.
Ain't it, yeah.
Still get a lot of good correspondence about chess.
I'm just not seeing it because we have the same text machine.
Oh, that's personal messages.
Sort of sliding into my DMs.
These personal messages.
Yeah, we all get lots of those.
Yeah, sure they exist.
Yeah, for sure.
We'll start screen having them.
I don't want that happen.
Yeah.
I'll take your word for it, Hon.
You'll find out some quite amazing feed
back on the show if you read your DMs.
No, I've been very good.
You've been looking at them.
I've changed my ways.
Because I realize that most people are just there to praise me and I love them.
And this whole time I've just been deleting them.
Yeah.
It's great chaos from that.
It was just an unlimited tap of praise for you.
I just open them up when I need a little top up.
Little ego birds.
Well, today's spec for then, 1986.
Carbon dioxide from a volcano under a lake, leaked out and killed 1,800 people
in 3,500 livestock.
Like that.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
6-1-1 just messaged and we did a play on this at school.
What a grim.
We did James the Giant Peach.
Yeah, we did Blumen Mary Poppins.
What did everyone just on-stage collapse and they were like thin end?
Yeah.
Actually, pretty probably the dream role for kids.
Just lie down and stay still.
On corpse number 20.
Yeah.
Their rehearsals went on lunchtime.
Hey, guys, we're going to practice a scene again
where you're all dead from the carbon dioxide.
Are you okay?
The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod.
Yesterday I was doing the dishes,
as I want to do.
Yeah, good boy.
Yeah, on my dishes, routines tight at the moment.
Rinse, stack the dishwasher, big things, hand wash.
Yeah, always. That's how you do it.
And I got one of them scrubby brushes that you put the liquid in the handle.
Oh, lovely.
And so you don't need to run a full sink.
You just do the hot water and wash what you need to.
It is actually.
For all $4.50 that it goes like.
Wow.
You know, I'm really out there living.
I'm sorry.
I've just got a brush that doesn't have a squirty inside.
Yeah.
And I haven't washed my dishes since my parents moved in in October.
Yeah.
So I noticed that the liquid in the handle was empty and I went to fill it up.
And there's no dishwashing liquid left
I was just like, how has this happened?
I only just purchased this thing.
You need to go get some more.
And then I hear the fly spray guy up on the wall go,
no, he went, which is what he does when he's out of,
he's trying to, and I just purchased him too.
I just refilled it.
Well, the season's calming down there
because I'm going to turn off my eco mist.
Mine's got a remote and you can choose how often it goes off now.
So mine goes off once every 30 minutes.
Must be nice.
I just have flies.
There's something you can do about there.
That must be nice.
But the thing is those flies come in, they buzz around,
they fly out your window.
These ones are dying on the bench and doing their disco dance.
And everything's just running out.
And I just thought, we're just constantly, all we're doing in life,
how much of it life are we spending just buying stuff to refill stuff
we already have when we just purchased toothpaste?
And then you buy a new refill and you've already got a refill.
Then I've got too much.
That's, I hate that.
And then for ages, you don't have to buy stuff.
Is this another crisis you're having?
It's toothpaste.
Toothpaste is just constantly running out.
I feel like I just get a new chervid toothpaste and then I'm down to doing that thing where you squeeze your fingers and wring it out.
You don't need more than a pee.
You're using a slug?
I use another legume though.
I use a broad bean.
Yeah, no, you're having, that's too much.
I don't think it is.
It's too abrasive.
And I like to push hard.
But then you're going to be, you're replacing it and that's on you.
You don't need more than a pee.
Deodorant was cheap.
So I bought three cans.
How many do you think I've got left?
None cans.
Shampoo and conditioner.
I don't even have here.
For some reason, you just need a big shop.
It just sounds like you don't get enough things.
You need a big shop.
I get the biggest thing because, you know me, I like, I look at the,
I must be a nightmare to go shopping with because I'm like, I look and I'm like,
all right, what's the better deal per mill?
91 cents a mill.
Yeah.
A mill.
And that one's 89 cents a mill.
So while I'm paying more today.
But then they get you because the next price is out in KG
and you're like, well, now I've got to do maths.
KG.
And they'll get you because the big bottle that's cheaper per mill,
you've got to cut it open to get that mill out of the bottom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got to cut it.
Now, I don't mind cutting over a container.
I come from a cutting open container family.
We'll rip out to sunscreen to get every ounce of it.
Toothpaste.
Christine cuts the toothpaste and half gets it out.
Toilet paper runs out.
Well, this is life, man.
This is life.
You've got to be organ.
Milk.
Milk.
I don't even drink milk.
Who's buying milk?
I'm buying milk
But kids like milk
And it's just like
I said to them
Do I don't even ask me
Do we need more milk
I'm just like
I assume we'll need more milk
For some reason
Milk seems to be evaporating
Like nobody's business
Yeah
I mean you've got two growing girls in the house
Things on a roll
Baking paper
Tinfoil
Kling film
Fletch I know you love your cling film
Because you hate the earth
He does it
He wraps everything in it
And his individual fruit
And it's just possibly running out
Yeah
I don't know
How do they use
35 metres of baking paper
physically it seems impossible
That's the length of my house
I think it's just all come together at once
And it's feeling overwhelming
And I hate when you go to the supermarket
And you've got to get all more
And all of a sudden you sent $800 and you're not got a meal
Or you've got as more stuff
That in a few weeks it's going to run out again
Laundry liquid
Have you written a list?
Yeah I've got a list
It's long
But I just feel like I just got to buy everything
Every time I'm there
Do you know petrol?
That does run out
That just runs out.
That runs out.
You sound like you're very close to having a breakdown with this kind of carry-off.
Close.
Close.
I tell you what, if I go home, if I go home and for the first time,
if I go home and for the first time in six months, I need to print something,
and my apprentice says, inks low.
Oh.
Or no paper.
I might explain.
How could I have no paper?
But it happens.
I just, in fact, I'm going to need to stick two pieces of paper together.
Whereabouts is that salad tape.
How is this empty?
Don't encourage him
Also, I don't have headaches enough
for the amount of parasitam
I'm going through.
And there's never any.
I just feel like I've just purchased some.
Okay, this is, yeah.
And it's gone again.
Do a big shop on.
Am I being robbed?
Like, is someone coming in
and shopping through my house?
Maybe there's like, I'm at work
and someone's coming in
and filling up all their stuff
off my fill-up stuff
and that's the only reasonable explanation
I have for how much stuff I'm going through.
Yeah.
You're not the only one.
A lot of people texting and saying they're finding this.
Things run out.
Yeah.
Things just run out.
Unorganized.
You need more things.
Great message 302, but the timing's off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's in the middle of a mental breakdown.
No, I did this before my marriage busted up as well.
It just really, just all piles up.
It just really piles up sometimes.
Do you want us to come over and bring you a nice bulk load of dishwashing liquid and some tablets?
and some toilet paper
and you just put your feet up for the day.
Oh, toilet paper is the one.
Toil it from where?
No, I purchased so much toilet paper once.
I'm still getting through it.
Yeah, in COVID when you thought it was all...
You've still got pallets of it.
Your spare room.
That's where it all went.
That's where it all went.
No, it doesn't. I think you need to send your mum
Patsy over to sort Vaughn out.
It sounds like he needs a mum.
Nothing runs out.
He just lives life like nothing.
The best way.
I worry, which is great.
Everybody should live like you.
and you've got living
people.
People that are taking care of all the stuff.
Maybe it's just also that comparative nature
and I know comparison is a theft of joy.
Yeah.
But I don't find a huge amount of joy.
Do you want Patsy to come over?
And just suss the pantry,
suss the situation,
sort it out and then you just come home
and you're like, where's the paper towels?
You just open the cupboard.
There's a roll there.
There's a role that you're waiting for me.
Now, that's the one thing I can't explain
why I go through so many paper towels
because this is me before dinner.
Oh, sitting at the table.
I'll be to take 18 paper towels.
I also like blow my nose into a paper towel.
It makes me feel, way better than a tissue.
Yeah.
I'll blow a hole right through a tish.
Oh, me too.
We talk about dating. It's hard out there.
And there's, you know, it's hard to find a good match.
Everyone's looking for their dream person and they have to have every trait be perfect.
And so you're not going to find that on your tinders and your hinges like that.
So there is a website.
I don't think this is a vibration.
available in New Zealand yet.
And I'm also suspicious.
I'll tell you why at the end.
So it's called order your dreammatch.com.
It's basically like a custom ordered match.
So...
Yeah, already this is not happening.
So on your classic dating apps,
you can only really sort of say like age,
location, not a lot.
I mean, sometimes you say, you know,
you can say smoker and that kind of stuff,
and interest and stuff.
Yeah.
But it generally gives you a big,
wide wash of people.
Whereas order your dreammatch.com
that you go on
and you log in and then you go through a series
of multi-choice questions.
I tried to get the specific questions.
I've got to sign up apparently.
Yeah.
But it's all about personality traits
like are you adventurous,
you're a homebody,
are you introverted, extroverted,
are you social, are you whatever.
Lifestyle, your habits, your routines,
how you like to spend your time.
Style, fashion preferences,
height, physical appearance,
and vibe. So I could go in there and be like
I want
an extroverted
social butterfly
who works out
who's seven foot tall
of non-white origin
who
has long hair
and their vibe is
homeless.
And homeless. Yeah.
And like racist
in a funny way.
That was sarcastic obviously.
That was sarcastic obviously, right?
So you can go in and literally,
almost like you were with AI,
and you know you're just like dump information.
Yes.
And then this website...
I'm assuming this uses AI.
Yeah, yes, because this website then trolls
Tinder, hinge, bumble, all the other ones.
Yeah.
And finds you matches from all the other apps.
But wait, how does it trawl those apps without...
having its own profile.
I know, and this is a thing.
Unless it's part of the group,
because you know, there's one group.
There's a group.
So there's the group that owns them.
Yeah.
So people, this is why I'm suspicious,
people were saying they've done it.
That's the claim,
is that they'll trawl all the dating apps for you.
So you don't need them,
you just need this website.
But they're like, oh, all the matches
are coming from two websites.
So they're like, this is owned by.
Yes, the people that own Tinder.
Gotcha.
And those dating apps.
Yeah, for sure.
And they own Tinder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is order your perfect match.com.
But I mean, imagine a black mirror episode
in which you could do this.
Like...
I mean, it's very black mirror-esque.
It's like 3D print.
Yeah.
You just put into the laptop, 3D print me,
that 7 foot.
But it's...
Nigerian footballer
who's also loves his mom
and can cook.
Or whatever.
And it's like...
But instead of plastic 3D printer ink,
it's like human flesh.
flesh and sort of cells.
No, I don't want it to be flesh.
No, any flesh getting in a 3-D printer.
No, you'd have a specific one born.
So you'd have a plastic one for your gadgets.
Also, by the time you got up to the waist, you'd be out of your...
Brown ink.
Brown ink.
The three of us would constantly be going back in.
I keep running out of bloody brown ink.
I'm some more brown ink.
And I'm getting into the eyes, so I'm going to need some light ink.
You'll need some light.
Yeah, I'm out of blue.
Some light greens.
Yeah, yeah.
And they're like, Haley, you've got to stop with the seven foot.
You'd get so much more out of it if you just, you know, took a short kings.
Yeah, it'll cost, it'll be a lot more cost effective.
Cost effective.
You can get two for the same price of printing one.
Nope, I like what I like.
Welcome to the future.

Are you a Nepo baby?
Like, I don't feel Neppo babies like to admit that they're nepo babies.
I know, so maybe, maybe like, we won't get any calls.
But, you know, it does.
I'm not meaning like,
Like your parents are celebrities and so you became a celebrity too.
Like, for example, Apple Martin lands huge new movie role with Mom Gwyneth Paltrow's former coaster.
Who's Gwyneth Poutre's former coaster?
Well, Gwyneth Poutreys had lots of former coasters.
Yeah, I don't know.
Jack Black, for example, in shallow hell.
God, that movie, eh?
So Apple Martin, who obviously is Chris Martin.
Yeah, Chris Martin, Gwyneth Poutreau's daughter, 22 has just landed.
her first major film role
two weeks after graduating from college.
I mean, I, oh,
I sort of like, if you've got the goods,
just do it.
It's only just occurred to me,
her name is one letter off being a drink.
Apple martini.
Apple martini.
Apple martini.
Yeah, yeah, I'm delicious.
I don't know, like,
is there anybody listening that, like,
would be class as a Nepo baby
because I don't know,
you just went into your family's business.
Yeah, yeah.
Or you got a job.
Yeah, butcher nepo.
Maybe your dad was a butcher and he just gave you the shop
and you just went in there and you're like, I'll be a butcher.
I think my dad always wanted me to be a finance.
No, he didn't.
He didn't want to me Mrs. Finance.
But like if you'd gone in and take over to his company,
straight out of uni, you'd be nepo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'd be nepo.
I got a bit of a nepo job because I did work there with absolutely no skills
and got paid far beyond the skills that I could provide.
Yeah.
As an easy way for my dad to sort of give him.
Like a NEPO after school job, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Neppo school holidays.
Yeah.
So I could have enough money to go to the movies with my boyfriend.
But yeah, I don't know if anyone would admit it.
Or maybe you just, or maybe you want to just, I don't know, dobs something.
I know a NEPO.
You know a NEPO.
Yeah, maybe you work in a company.
Yes.
And, you know, like high up hired their own son.
And it was like, or they're like wife or something.
They're like, mm.
Nepo.
You're like, well, I've been working my ass or.
Okay, well, admit it.
Are you a Nipo baby or dobs someone in?
Get the ball rolling.
I mean, someone said New Zealand's literally full of nepo babies.
Every single farm in general is just handed down generation to generation.
You don't have to go in and buy that massive bit of land.
But I feel that's...
I think they do buy it.
I feel like that's different though because it's not like you're just doing nothing.
You're kind of working on the farm as well when you're a kid, right?
But yeah, I guess you don't have to...
I don't just have to go.
Okay, well, I went hundred down to them.
9-6-96 is the number.
Are you a Nepo Baby?
Yeah.
Have you ever seen like BuzzFedl do a famous nepo or nepo babies
so you didn't know a nepo babies?
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you're just like, oh, okay, wow.
Yeah.
And then I'm like, well, I don't know,
because Ben still is a nepo baby.
Yeah, for sure.
But it's only a foot.
The other thing is it's only a foot in the door.
If you're successful.
If you're rubbish.
Yeah, but if you've failed, then yes,
you didn't have the skills and you didn't earn it.
But if you succeed, it still takes a bit of work once you're there.
Totally, but that's the thing.
My dad was Paul Holmes.
Yeah, that's right.
And that you've lasted because of who you are.
But that's the thing, it's the foot in the door thing
because there's super, super talented people
that will never get it because they don't get the foot in the door.
Kendall, are you a NEPO baby?
I am. I'm a two-time Nepo baby.
Oh, congratulations.
Oh, congratulations.
What's your NEPO avenue of choice?
Well, I don't know if I should say,
but I work for my mum who is a lawyer for a small firm,
so she's the big boss and gave me a job.
Okay.
Love that.
Did you study though?
Did you do the...
Yeah, you still studied.
No, I didn't.
Oh, my God.
Wait, what?
What kind of job are you doing?
I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer.
I work for lawyers.
Oh, right, okay.
God, no, I wouldn't get away with, um, practicing as a lawyer without.
Yeah, I was like, I think there's illegal, hon.
Would you know if you studied law?
Although maybe with AI now you could probably do it, but yeah.
Oh, yeah, no.
I am studying to be a legal exec, but no, I'm not.
Oh, okay.
Nor claiming to be.
Now, do you, what are the perks you?
get because of working
for mum? She buys me
lunch sometimes. Yeah nice. Yeah nice.
When I used to work with my dad, he's just sort of sworn into
his office about 12 and be like, you hungry?
It's always nice when we do the work to
and like how we obviously go away
and do something fancy for our work to and my
siblings can't come and I'm like, yeah, well, you
don't work for mum, so. Yeah, you're not a
nepo baby like I am. Do you get a
car park at work? Do you get a car park?
Yeah, do you get a car park? Oh, yeah, I parked down the road.
My car's a shipbox.
Oh, okay.
My mum's like, keep their shitbox away from that.
We're trying to look like.
We can't have the clients seeing your teeter.
Yeah.
You're not having my bum to stickers.
Yeah, yeah, you trash care.
Thank you, Kendall, for coming on the show and admitting that you're an Epo baby.
It took a lot.
It's okay.
It's all right, you know.
We've got to do what we're going to do.
Absolutely.
We've also got to remember that Gwyneth Paltrow's mom was Blythe.
Yeah, she's a Nepo baby too.
So Gwyneth Paltrow's a Mepo baby.
And her baby is a NEPO baby, so we've got two generations.
So, Kendall, your baby as well,
we'll also have to get, you'll have to give them a job as well.
Yeah, yeah, true.
Yeah, I will bear that in mind, you know, passing it down to generation.
Exactly, the NEPO on NEPO, on NEPO, thank you.
Messages in.
My daughter's joke that NEPO babies.
My workmate gave them a weekend job, the oldest one first.
Then when she was leaving for uni, she trained my next daughter to replace her.
So the oldest train there.
More of a Nipo sibling there.
Yeah, right.
And a nepo baby.
Yeah.
My ex is a nepo baby.
He lives the life of a millionaire without working.
Lives off his parents' money.
He's nearly 40 is one of those people that's just waiting for his inheritance.
Oh, management nepo baby.
They've just got him on the paybox, but he's just like not really doing anything.
Management nepo baby, that's terrible.
So if your dad was Paul Holmes, Fletch, who was your dad?
Because you've been, you know, have had this long, illustrious career.
His dad was also Paul Holmes.
Are you actually brothers?
Paul are he stepbrothers.
Halfed a lot of...
No.
No.
No.
Ordin and I are not nepo babies.
No. No, I'm not nepo.
My, yeah, my father's a farmer still is and said, don't do this.
Constantly when we were growing up, so we were never nepoed into that industry.
You think you're a silly clown?
You think you're going to go make money out of being a clown?
No, he never said that either.
Which is wild for an 80s, 90s parent not to.
Yeah.
Mr. Laugh's going to pay the bills, eh?
No chuckle my girl, is you going to be able to pay the mortgage?

Spooned on by some recent holiday tragedies
Such as five Italian divers
Divers dying in the Maldives
And three women drowning off Brighton Beach
There's been an investigation
To the most dangerous, popular holiday activities
Oh dear
Using a danger level that they're calling
Micro Morts
Micro Morts stands for
Mortality
Mortality
Oh okay
Micro stands for a million
So basically it's worked out
That the numbers I'm about to give you
are the equivalent of how many miles you would drive,
this is in the UK,
to have the equivalent amount of danger.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
What is in the same amount of danger
as driving a car this many miles?
Yes, correct.
Do you think it'll just be those things?
Like, you know, a lot of people don't read the travel insurance.
I mean, I don't really read it,
but there's always the, if you're going on a scooter
or you're going skiing.
You're not covered.
You're not covered or you've got to tell them?
You have to get extra cover.
Yeah.
Like the one I always get, you always get my generic travel insurance,
and then you've got to add ski protection, add scooter protection, add.
People go to Bali and they'll get on the back of a motor taxi or southeast days.
Yeah, I had to crash in Bali on a scooter.
And if you haven't got insurance, you're screwed.
You screwed, hon.
So these are the most dangerous in how many miles it would be the equivalent of driving.
Okay.
Hiking.
Going hiking while you're on holiday.
Yep.
Is the equivalent of driving 115 miles.
So the same amount of danger you'd get in 115 miles.
of driving is hiking.
Is going for a hike.
So not a...
Slipping.
Not a perilously long drive.
What is just living?
Is there a baseline?
I don't know there's not a baseline.
Of just living?
Just living?
I guess just living can be dangerous.
It's dangerous at all times.
Yeah.
A beer could literally crash through this glass
behind me right now.
A bear.
And I'd be like, holy hell.
Where did this beer come from?
I didn't even know where this beer came from.
Escape from the zoo.
Okay.
I figured he might have been on a plane and fell out of the plane.
No, he'd be, he'd die if he'd die.
Because I don't think the plane.
I don't think the, I don't think
bear could get through that window just from a standing
point. I think they have to take a little hammer from the bus.
Oh yeah. He got one of those because he caught the bus here
when he escaped from the zoo. He does. It's in his claw.
So, 173 miles, the equivalent danger of driving
173 miles is hot air ballooning and skiing.
So what's the one that you just read out the hiking?
Hiking was the lowest? Okay, yeah. I'm working my way up.
Okay. ankle sprains.
Bit of a radio pro hero working my way up.
I like to say it number one and get progressively worse.
Like it's not as interesting as we go along.
It doesn't get a tie-in, I find.
Scoobabing is the...
And you need expert guidance.
This is if you just went raw dog.
Raw-dog scuba dive.
Never done it before, chucked the tanks on, give it a go.
Would be significantly more dangerous.
But that's the equivalent of driving 1,100 miles.
Okay.
Skydiving is at 2,000?
Which is crazy, because you don't hear about...
For how many people skydive, you don't hear about that many skydiving.
But I feel like we're hearing about more.
Paragliding...
is higher.
Oh, I've done paragliding.
That's fun.
Is that the one where you jump off things?
Run off a club behind the boat?
Wait, is that the one where you're with the person and you're in the baby beyond and they're
doing all the...
Yeah.
But you run and jump off a hill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's incredible.
What's the one cool when you get tow behind a boat?
Parasailing.
Parasailing, yeah.
Scooters and motorcycles.
What's the one where it's the Olympics after the main Olympics?
Paralympics.
Paralympics.
Also, everything they do is with a parachute, I think.
Yes, it is.
Hard to run 100 meters.
dragging a parachute.
Why are you giving us more obstacles to overcome?
Scooters and motorcycles are above that.
Yeah, I bet.
But, wow.
Below quad biking.
Okay.
Quad biking on holidays,
the equivalent of driving 13,800 miles.
Oh, shoot.
The same amount of danger.
Because people think they know how to ride a quad bike
because it's got four wheels,
so they'll just go hellful leather.
They flat and have very...
They do, yeah.
Bad mostly.
The equivalent of driving 23,000 miles.
So that's a lot of driving.
Yeah.
A lot of danger.
You could do that and not make a single mistake
and driving 23,000 miles,
but you're likely to come across a lunatic
on those 23,000 miles.
Yeah.
Cave diving.
Oh, no thanks.
By far, the most dangerous thing to do
when you're a tourist...
I'm not doing that.
No.
I don't even like going in a cave...
I'm not doing that.
Really?
Why do I want to fill a perfectly good cave with water
and then go through it?
Snow.
Yeah.
Snow from me.
It's a no from me.
It's a no from me.
Yeah.
Cave diving is the worst.
Yep.
Cave diving's the worst.
The worst.
The worst.
For how many people do it, the deaths are significantly higher.
Yeah.
Made hiking look pretty good back.
Yeah, I'll just think to Aparoze on the beach, I think.
Yeah, I think it was for flop my guts out in the bikini and just sit back and get a massage.
You know what I mean?
The Z-M podcast network.
I've got a very beautiful mother.
Like, she's lovely.
She's gorgeous.
Patsy's a 10.
Hot as chicken Dargoval.
You know why?
It's all the Les Mills.
It's all the Les Mills pump over the years.
Dude, you know what's great?
She's back at the gym as well.
Oh, she's keeping it tight.
She's keeping it tight.
And not just physically, mentally.
My mum's been at the gym and back.
My mum was a Les Mills addict in the 90s.
Hell or high water should be there.
And she's been lifting her.
She's been pumping her in.
That's good.
It's great for, um, of all ages to keep that strength.
Do you know what?
Literally, she'll probably hate this because she's like,
I don't make me sound old.
She slipped.
I've got slippery wooden floors.
Oh, okay.
They went in high glass.
Core strength.
Core strength.
She slipped and she said,
oh, and she was like, a while ago she would have been like,
I'm done, you know, a bit of a twinge in the knee.
She bounced up, she was like, I'm all good.
Jim, yeah.
You know what you need?
You need some of those socks I had it when I had a hospital surgery with the grip on them.
Pilates socks.
Yeah, the grippy socks.
Go to jump.
That indoor trampoline part, they give you a pair of socks.
Yeah, I can't.
I'll get her some grippy socks.
You know, I'm talking about how beautiful my mother is because I'm not deeply insulted.
But yesterday we went out, we had a little shoperoo.
We're planning a, I can't I believe I'm saying it, a renovation.
Yeah.
Glutton for Bernie.
And we wanted to get our eyes on some tiles.
Oh, yes.
So we were out and about looking at some places.
I've actually got some leftovers I could sell you.
I have so many leftovers.
Should we just sort of cheer me at all?
Because I've got leftovers from my house too.
You're giving me a big mosaic energy.
Me?
We could smash all of our tiles and mosaic.
My pants is going quite elegant.
We've found some slim things we were liking.
Wait, I thought you were keeping it cheap and cherry.
Mate.
You just said elegant.
And elegant starts with E and so does expensive.
Oh, we were all on board.
but I say, for reference, I'm converting my garage into a little granny flat.
So that she can get rid of her parents.
Do you know why she's getting rid of her parents, Georgia?
It's not because she's had enough of them, is it?
No, I love them to pieces.
Living with them as a joy.
It's just they're right through the wall, Georgia.
I actually think I know why.
Yeah, they're right through the wall.
And my mum would like every time I say this that it's not great that they're through the wall,
she would like to reiterate.
It's a two-way problem.
Yeah, I don't know if we wanted, though.
Get them in the garage.
Get them in the garage.
Get them in the garage.
Now, actually, while it's still a garage.
But I am trying to get, I have to keep this cheap and chieff.
I've renovated.
The money went into my house.
Cheap and cheval.
Patsy's got, like, real style.
And every time I was like, right, we're going to go out.
Calm down, Patsy.
It's a garage in West Auckland.
We're going to get some basic tiles, Patsy.
She's like, look at this, look at this organic raw brass.
Look at this tap.
Haley.
We'll just get the, we'll get the brush here.
Stop it.
Anyway, so we're going to this plumbing place, plumbing world.
Oh, yeah.
And we're looking at taps, whatnot.
And we're talking to this very helpful woman, Sandra.
And so what's the project?
We're saying, oh, you know, we're doing this, we're doing this, we're doing this.
And the woman said, oh, yeah, yeah, so we'll get you the things.
And you guys are...
She thought you were a couple.
Lesbian.
She thought you were lesbians.
I said, that's my mum.
Oh, yes, mother and daughter.
Yeah, mother and daughter.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, you bloody poor.
You think this is my partner.
Because I get the thing
My mum
Very beautiful
And I
You know maybe we're just here
Shopping together
Like a mother daughter
Can I be honest
Can I be honest in this
I think this is a fair statement
Back me out
Fletch and Georgia
If I'm wrong here
You couldn't score your mum
I couldn't get her
If you were lesbian
And not related
There's no way Patsy
You too look so much of like
How ridiculous
I was like
I didn't know what
She didn't say it
but she was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, mother and daughter.
And I was like, you either thought sisters,
which is great for Patsy and a little bit not so great for me,
given that my mum is 30 years older than me,
or lovers, which is just...
Again, not great for you because...
Not go for me because, you know, around the same age, I guess.
Lovers don't have to be the same age.
No, I suppose they don't.
I suppose that's the better option.
Yeah.
People thought that me and my mum were a couple of renovating lesbians.
Well, if you have any leftover tiles, 9-6-9-6...
Check them away, we're just going to hit them on any door yet.
We're just going to do a mosaic, actually.
Love it.
Get that shower, sort of a bit higgledy, piggledy.
Yeah, lovely.
Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry,
Fletch, Vaughn or Haley,
what one would it be?
Okay, I would marry Haley.
I would have sex.
Wait, which one is it?
No, no, no, no, it's only rate review, marry.
Oh, okay.
No comment.
I could have sex with the podcast,
and then how that would work.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
