The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Two minutes past six.
Good morning everyone.
Good morning.
You're starting the day positive with us,
a new infringement notice from the police.
And I got a parking fine.
Okay, so a great morning to check the mailbox then.
Oh, I've had such a good start to the morning.
It's been so, it's so far the day's off
to such a hot rocking start.
If I could put a positive spit on it,
only Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Nope.
Three more sleeps
till we get to go up the waz again.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's really turning around.
Yeah.
Up the waz.
Up the waz.
Friday night.
Up the waz.
Coming up on the show,
the top six.
There is a 20-year-old on the list for Te Pāti Māori.
So if they get enough votes, there'll be a 20-year-old in Parliament.
God, remember being 20?
Yeah.
I was a nightmare.
It was just before I met Aaron.
Peak nightmare.
Oh, yeah, there's no way that, like that you'd know what's going on, right?
No.
And just what you'd be subjected to by the public alone would be horrible.
That's a lot for a 20-year-old.
What are the top six worst things about being a 20-year-old MP?
Coming up at the top six.
Now that would be more specifically about me being a 20-year-old MP. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. As I don't know this 20-year-old MP. Coming up at the top of the site. Now, that would be more specifically about me being a 20-year-old MP.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
As I don't know this 20-year-old MP.
She seems pretty switched on.
It always blows my mind how very mature some people can be.
And how immature some others can be.
Totally.
8 o'clock this morning, the first Taylor Swift song.
You're going to be listening at 8, 12 and 4 to win
today's double pass.
To see Taylor Swift live at one of her
Sydney sold out shows. But next, I know
Hayley, this will cheer you up. You love true
crime. I love true crime.
I have a crime story.
Thank you.
A bit of DNA in there. Is there white
women? Yes.
Are they being moided? Are they being moided?
Are they being moider?
You love a true crime mystery.
I do.
But I've just literally, suggestions welcome.
Yep.
I've literally just finished like all of them, like caught up to all of them.
I need more moider.
I need more betrayal.
Are you saying that you've exhausted the entire podcast?
No, no, but all my recommended ones are done
Right, okay, so you need something true crime and juicy
I just listened to one called Who the Hell is Hamish by The Australian
Now that's about a guy who scammed a whole lot of people out of millions of dollars
Saying he was a big time like you know wall street guy right
really good but it's done now he's good did he get murdered well i can't say spoiler alert spoiler
spoiler alert oh well if you've got a suggestion fire it through um but in florida a woman was
suspected of killing her 79 year old uh flatmate uh police turned up. They said, look, we're going to have to get your DNA.
Right.
Because I think the guy, they found the guy.
It's pretty gruesome.
I think she tried to set the house on fire, the flat on fire.
Oh, good Lord.
He had a blunt force trauma.
Oh, God.
She's really killed him.
And so the police said, look, we're going to have to get some DNA off you.
Right.
And she doused herself, according to police reports, in Mountain Dew.
In an attempt to hide the DNA.
She did the Dew.
You'd go vinegar, right?
You'd go vinegar, you'd go bleach, you'd go anything but Mountain Dew.
Yeah, don't people use bleach to clean scenes?
Yeah.
But you don't bleach yourself.
You don't bleach yourself.
Well, that depends.
People do bleach themselves.
I used to before the wonderful laser.
The anus.
No, the anus.
I like to keep that nice and textured.
You're an au natural, girl.
Oh, of course.
Who's faffing about there?
What mountain dew?
Was that all she had on hand?
They found her DNA on the knife
Wait did it
Wait so what kind of DNA
Was she trying to get off herself
His DNA
Yes
His DNA
Trying to
So it worked
Well
No I don't believe so
Because there was enough DNA
Not only on the knife
She should have Mountain Dewed the knife
She should have Mountain Dewed the knife
She should have soaked a sink full of Mountain Dew
Yeah
What a funny thing to reach for.
How much Mountain Dew does this woman stock in her fridge at one time?
I don't know, but enough to tell herself in Mountain...
Guess the state that she's from.
Florida.
Did I say Florida?
Yeah, it's a Florida.
I was going to start there and work my way up through the other states.
Yeah, it's always Florida.
The southern states love a Mountain Dew.
They love a Mountain Dew.
It was invented down there.
Yeah, I don't think this is going to be enough for a podcast.
Sorry, but.
What would it be called?
Mountain Dewing Murder.
G-U-N-A.
G-U-N-A.
The DNA.
G-U-N-A.
Yeah.
M-D-E-N-A.
Collecting their D-E-W.
Yeah.
Yeah, beautiful.
I mean, it would be a one Working title
Yeah that thing is
She murders him
And then
Covers herself in Mountain Dew
And she gets
Found
11 past 6
Now here's
Up next
Something for the finer people
In life
Like myself
Right
There's a
TikTok trend going around
And
I'm going to give
All of these a go
Okay
A food pairing Play zms fletch
vaughn and hayley lots of rules around pairings of wine isn't there fish fish and chicken white
steak red and then all the like celebrity chefs were like ah wine's wine drink wine as you like
wine yeah but you wouldn't have a pinot Noir with a curry. I would.
Would you?
I would want a curry.
You were going like a Rogan Josh?
Yeah, like a darker, non-cream based curry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Real rich.
Prefer a Coke Zero when I'm having a curry.
Yeah, you do.
How good...
Oh no, you've put me off.
No, I'm back.
How good is a red wine with like a ragu though?
Hold me back because there's red wine in the ragu.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's meta.
It's double wine.
It's double wine for the price of one.
Yeah.
Well, someone shared on TikTok and it's doing the rounds of how to pair wine with potato chips.
Now, this is my mum.
This is my mum at about 3.30, 4 o'clock in the afternoon at home.
Little bowl of Tatey chips.
She's only ever really salted.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Patsy Ann Sproul hates a flavoured chip.
Was that a thing that she started when you were younger
because kids don't really eat unflavoured things?
Yeah, we wanted cheese balls.
Yeah, exactly.
The finer chips.
So then she doesn't have to share.
Yeah, probably.
Everyone knows you've got to eat spicy food or tell your kids it's spicy if you don't want to eat it.
Oh, no, you don't.
You wouldn't like these.
So someone's put together the perfect pairing of wine and chips.
And a lot of these I can absolutely get on board with.
Well, can I start with my favorite?
Yes.
Prosecco and cheese balls.
My God, he is a man
of class and finer taste.
Trash. I mean,
people say this, but every
time we have a party, every time,
what are the first chips to go?
The cheese balls. Honestly, because
I would never buy them, and when they're there, I'm always
like, good God, what are these doing here?
They're amazing. I have them, and and next I'm having them by the handful.
Yeah, number one chip.
Well, their pairing for a sparkling like a Prosecco or a Champagne is just a ready salt.
I like a ready salted chip.
Because the salt kind of compliments it.
Yes, it's just kind of a nice classic dry pairing perhaps.
Would a salted vinegar work as well?
Salt and vinegar that they've put with a
more of a sweet wine
like say a Pinot Gris
or a
Riesling. I would have thought a buttery
chard would have been a salt and vinegar
because it's not offering too much and salt and vinegar
is offering you that punch. Well they haven't done all the wines
so maybe that. Is there no chard?
There's no chard on here. There is a Chenin Blanc
which I love. What about a chard? There's no chard on here There is a Chenin Blanc which I love
What about a chard?
It's a very popular New Zealand wine
Well Chenin Blanc is almost like a chardet
A chardet my wife
Who by the way gets called chardonnay all the time
I bet she does
And when she gets called it
And she's like
She takes it and then I side eye her
She's like
She's angrier at me for looking at her funny
than she is at the person who just called her Chardonnay.
Well, Chenin Blanc's like a Chardonnay,
and a Sauvignon Blanc had a baby.
Right.
Like a richer Sauvignon Blanc.
It's so good.
And what chip goes with that?
Sour cream.
Sour cream and chives.
Oh, the snack-a-changies.
See, I love a sour cream and chives.
That's my number one chip.
Yeah.
That's my number one.
A barbecue-flavored chips, that's going with your robust reds okay which i get like a deep rich
burnt smoky flavor with a nice robust red yep they've got shrimp chips you know they're like
with a rose really a light pink and pink yeah maybe okay pink and pink? Yeah, maybe. Okay. Pink and pink.
They've got a buffalo blue cheese.
Now, I'm imagining this is maybe from America.
I wouldn't say that's a popular flavor here.
That goes with a Riesling.
Now, that makes sense.
Blue cheese and Riesling.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
What about...
Does it have a salve in there?
No.
Or was that that?
I'm going to go best potato chips with Sauvignon Blanc.
Yeah.
I mean, I can do that. I mean, it's the Ki Blanc. Yeah. I mean, I can do that.
I mean, it's the Kiwi wine.
Yeah.
I love a saff.
The savalanche.
That's what they call it when they're harvesting the salves.
There's so many salves grapes.
They call it the savalanche.
Yeah.
Do you have any pairings for pals there?
I don't.
No.
Okay.
I don't.
Munchos.
Tomato, spicy tomato munchos.
Oh, my God.
Doritos.
This makes sense because Gewurztraminer
My mum loves
It's sweet isn't it
I only drink it if I'm having curry or Thai
Because it goes really well with it
And they're saying a perfect pairing for Gewurztraminer
Is a Dorito
Spice and sweet
Yum
Oh my god
Pringles
They're saying is the best for a Sauvignon Blanc or a pretzel.
Pringle or pretzel?
There you go.
So you've got to think about it.
You've got to think about your parents.
I'm not eating pretzels because they're so dry.
You drink the water and get them down.
You always get quite boozed eating pretzels.
18 past six.
Next on the show, the top six.
Yeah, the top six worst things about being a 20-year-old MP.
Hello there.
Not since 1850.
1853.
Has there been a 20-year-old elected to New Zealand Parliament?
In 1853, there was one.
James Frederick Stuart Wortley.
Oh, good Lord.
James Frederick Stuart Wortley.
My father said I made quite the politician.
Was elected in 1853 at the age of 20 years and 7 months.
He died at the age of 37.
So, I mean, it'll kill you.
It'll kill you.
Well, they didn't live long back then.
That was probably your average lifespan back then, wasn't it?
Yeah, probably on opium and all sorts of weird things.
Yeah, the good stuff.
Add in the stress of parliament,
and he died at age 37.
It doesn't say what he died of or anything.
Just died at 37.
How was that, eh?
Someone died at 37 in was that someone died of 37
at 37 in the 19 and the
1800s and everyone's like oh
I didn't even really need to write down why
yeah do you want to should we see
why
he's 37 years old good innings
old fella well it could
change the current
the current polling
indicates that Te Pāti Māori will
get their number four on the list
and that is
Hana Rawhiti Mapi Clark, aged
20 currently. Will she
beat, and how many months does she have?
She will, by the election she'll be
yeah, yeah, she'll be just younger than him.
Oh, so she'll win. Yeah.
Take that 1800s, Wortley.
Yeah, suck it, Wortley.
Suck it, Wortley.
Don't tell Wortley to suck it.
He would have been, at your age, he would have been dead for years.
I know.
I couldn't imagine me as a 20-year-old representing the people in Parliament.
Who would want to?
People suck.
I was hitting to clubs.
I was hitting to bottle. I was hitting to bottle.
I was at drama school.
You were a shitbag.
I was a little shitbag.
I hate people now more than I did at 20,
and I hated them a fair bit then.
Bugger representing them.
But also, it's hard enough for growing adults,
people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s,
to put up with the punishment of what they deal with in Parliament.
That would be horrible.
And you have to have, I'm not saying that she doesn't have life experience.
Maybe she does, but far out, man.
You've got to have a thick skin to be in Parliament.
You've got to be able to take it.
People are awful.
I was about to say you need to have a maturity, but then I've seen Parliament TV.
I think maturity is actually something that politicians need.
Genuinely, I think you need a lack of maturity.
The top six worst things about being a 20-year-old MP.
Number six, no hotties.
No one.
No one in your age bracket.
We did that game where we held our breath and looked at all the party lists
so we had to find someone we'd sleep with until we could take a breath,
and sometimes we went blue and passed out.
Sometimes we had to be brought back to life, didn't we?
You did have a thing for some of the old white guys in
National didn't you
yeah the old white
guys and
the young boyish
lesbians
yeah
just big on that
National didn't have
too many of those
though did they
National certainly
did not
and Kiri's gone
so
yeah
that's really
cut things down
to just Chloe
isn't it?
Yeah.
God.
Go to.
Number five on the list of the top six.
Go to.
You'll go to.
Top six worst things about being a 20-year-old MP.
Parliament seems like a terrible place to have a hangover.
Oh, yeah.
Like Muldoon just kept drinking.
Dusty.
Yeah.
Dusty.
I'm in those big seats.
They could be.
Yeah. But then Muldoon, yeah big seats. They could be. Yeah.
But then Muldoon, yeah, he just kept drinking, didn't he?
That was his secret.
He called a snap election.
Punch someone in the guts.
Yeah.
And then Vicargo once, because he'd had a few scotches on the way to some union workers.
He gave them a knock in the guts.
Maybe we need a bit of Muldoon up the top.
Maybe we need someone who's not afraid to punch someone in the guts.
Maybe Luxon will hit the bottle and punch someone in the guts.
Punch someone in the guts.
He's got the same haircut.
He's got the Muldoon do.
Might make him more likable.
Yeah.
Be punched someone.
Imagine if that's what it took you to be more likable.
Number four on the list of the top six worst things about being a 20-year-old MP.
Adding ageism to the racism and sexism
that you'll already experience. Oh yeah.
All the isms. How hard it is
being a politician. Add into the fact
that she's female. Add into the fact
that she's Maori. Add into the fact that she's
20. Yeah.
Number three on the list of the
top six worst things about being a
20 year old MP. The dress code.
Oh yeah. yeah dress code sucks
near millennial
because she wants to wear
like a hoodie
and some baggy jeans
as well as her right
to be comfortable
yeah
for a day on the couch
that's what they love
don't they
the MP chair
or whatever
you call that green thing
number two on the list
of the top six worst things
about being a 20 year old MP
the portfolios
are all very boring
yeah
they're all boring like there's no Minister of Lollies that would be my one stop it being a 20-year-old MP, the portfolios are all very boring. Yeah.
They're all boring.
Minister of Lollies.
That would be my one. Stop it.
Minister of Lollies.
There should be the serious ones
and then the fun ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like Minister of Lollies.
Or Minister of Lollies.
Or Minister of PlayStation.
Yeah.
Or just Minister of Recreation,
like fun stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Minister of Hidden Clubs.
Minister of Day at the Beach. Ah! Minister of Recreation, like fun stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Minister of Hidden Eclipse. Minister of Day at the Beach.
Ah!
Minister of Hydra Slides.
We don't have enough Hydra Slides.
No, the Minister of Hydra Slides would have absolutely
warned it over the recent YWEDA demolition, wouldn't it?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They would have had some questions to answer.
How did they let this happen?
And number one on the list of the top six worst things
about being a 20-year-old MP,
the Parliament pool car insurance premiums.
They probably don't want to pay the
raised one because you're under 25, so you're probably
just going to have to be driven, not drive.
Oh, that'd be nice, though. Sometimes that's nice because you get to
look, you get to, you know, appreciate
the view. Especially when you're working in
Wellington, corny place at 1am, where's my driver?
Brilliant.
Pull up, I'm outside J&M's.
Do you want some Sweat and sour pork
Yeah
Definitely because
It's Wednesday
And I've got Parliament tomorrow
And I simply cannot
Be hung over
Even though I'm turning up
In my track pants
And hoodie
That is the day
Stop sex
I think if people
Would say
Who's the worst driver
The rhetoric is
That it's women Right That women Are terrible behind The wheel We're flighty if people would say Who's the worst driver The rhetoric is That it's women right
That women
We're terrible behind
The wheel
We're flighty
Do people still say that
I'm an excellent driver
Heavy on the foot
Well this is
The other day
When we had to go to a cafe
And it was like
Who do you want to go with
Fletch
Vaughn or Hayley
I went with you
But you drive faster
So I like that
Yeah I know
But then
Vaughn started racing me Under the speed with you, but you drove faster, so I like that. Yeah, I know, but then Vaughn started racing me.
Under the speed limit, thank you very much.
We were in traffic, but we were trying to...
Well, the chimney just simply does not go over the speed limit.
I think you said the chimney.
The chimney.
It drives like a chimney.
It does not go over the speed limit.
No.
It almost could be steam-powered.
It's that slow.
Vaughn did win me, but more out of just more tactic based than
speed wasn't it yeah well um when it comes to parking not the case research has found so uh
more than one in five male drivers 21 of them admitted to being involved in a minor collision
when parking in the last year compared to 14 percent of females including
hitting other vehicles and bumping into objects like bollards we've all had a bollard oh you've
all had a bollard remember that time you've reversed into a bollard yeah yeah dumb height
it was a dumb height bollards walls fences god it's like when you go in a mall or like a car
park and you go around the corners and you see the wall just like scraping up.
But some of those car parks with the turny ramps are so tiny and tight.
I know.
If I'm ever driving Aaron's Ute, I'm like, what do I do here?
Do I have to go pick up the tail and kind of move it around?
16% of men have hit another car or a stationary object up to four times in the last year while parking compared to 8% of women.
Men are also found 50% more likely to hit another car.
Okay.
50%, 6% of men admitted to up to seven accidents over the space of a year.
This is not good.
Compared to 4% of women.
Also, how many of either men or women are actually owning up to this, leaving a note on the other car?
Probably none, eh?
Not in my research here. Okay. men or women are actually owning up to this, leaving a note on the other car. Probably nah, nah.
Not in my research here.
Okay.
But 53% rate themselves,
men,
53% of men rate themselves as good parkers compared to 37% of women.
We don't believe in ourselves,
despite being better.
Now,
sometimes I'll park.
I'm so good at parallel parking.
You are good,
Aaron gives me a little round of applause.
Does he?
Is that condescending? I'll pull into a play and be like, oh, as if. Yeah. I'm like, watch parallel parking. You are good, yeah. Aaron gives me a little round of applause. Does he? Is that condescending?
I'll pull into a place and be like, oh, as if.
Yeah.
Watch and learn, hon.
And I'll back it in.
Wow.
Pipe, but I'll get in there.
When's the last time you had a ding, though?
Have you ever had anything in a... I've never hit anything in that car.
I think I've never, I've been hit, but I've never caused a ding.
Oh, no, we went camping once And I backed into a bollard
Dumb height though
Dumb height
They're called trees in the wild
Big bollards
No massive bollards
Yeah yeah
It's got leaves
Like big bushy
It had like other bollards
Off the side of this main bollard
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah that's a tree
And then there's mini little
Sort of like flags off it
Those are leaves
Were they green? Yeah green flags Yeah leaves Dude I know a tree Okay And then there's mini little sort of like flags off it. Those are leaves.
Were they green?
Yeah, green flags.
Yeah, leaves.
Dude, I know a tree.
Okay.
And I know what a bollard is. Yeah, no, no, no.
I would.
Far be it for me to correct a woman.
That sounds like nature's bollard.
I don't want to mansplain trees.
I don't know who made the bollard.
It was ginormous.
Literally like a three-story building.
Oh, so they used to make them.
Yeah.
Did it have bark on it?
Well, it had a coating on it.
They painted it
With some kind of
Rough texture
Right okay
All the other bollards
It was slightly different
Yeah
If you were making
Your partner toast
How would you serve it
I'm gonna say
Make your own toast
Yeah with a fricking smile
And be like
Well now what do I get
Get in.
Well, this was more how do you serve it with regards to the bread cut into what shapes?
Okay.
One, triangles.
Oh, no.
Two, squars.
Or three, uncut.
See, uncut.
I love ripping.
Do you rip or do you just eat the whole thing?
I don't rip. I just pick it up and eat it
Rip it with my teeth
Yeah okay
Do you rip your toast apart
Sometimes I just love
And have a little rip
Man last night
We had toast for dinner
I made shakshuka
On toast
What's shakshuka
You know like tomatoes
And capsicum and spices
And you crack the eggs into it
And you cook the eggs in it
Oh yeah
Turkish
Yeah
Delish Did you cook in a tang it Oh yeah Turkish? Yeah Delish
Did you cook in a tangine?
I don't have a
Targine?
Tangine
Targine
Did you pop it in your tangine?
No I put it
I didn't shove it in my tangine
Yum
Was that all?
I felt like there was more to the story
No it's just we had toast
And you didn't cut it
And it was uncut
It was uncut
We'll pour it on the toast?
No, we had the toast underneath with the chicken on top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're going to put eggs on top or something on top,
like something straight out of the tangine,
you don't cut the toast.
You do that with a knife and fork.
You get it out of your tangine onto the uncut toast.
But if you're serving up something else.
It's a tagine.
There's no in in front of it.
It's a tangine. It's no in in front of it It's a tangine
It's a targine
The results are in
If you were going to cut it
Triangles, 19%
Squares, 16%
Uncut, 65%
Yes, it won
Because grow up
No offence Vaughn
You love Uncut
Well we
Well Vaughn didn't have a choice in the matter
I was a baby
We're talking about the foreskin over here
What are you going to do about it
The rich kids in school always had triangle cut sandwiches,
so we do too, damn it, says Shelly.
We're talking about toast, though.
We're talking about toast.
It's a different role.
Maybe it's just all bread is cut in triangles.
Oh, yeah, because would you cut a sandwich?
Because it looks like a club.
It looks like a club.
Do you know, I don't know if I cut a sandwich triangle
or just halves.
It depends on the contents of the sandwich.
It depends on the bread, too.. It depends on the bread too.
And it depends on the bread.
Because if it's a big bit of bread, you cut it.
But if it's like a smallie, like a Vogueley's dude,
it doesn't need to be cut.
No.
You can just hand that.
Okay.
Angela says, I prefer it cut either or,
either or, but triangles are king.
But my fiance likes his whole and always serves me whole toast so I've
selected whole because that's how I serve it for him
that was the question Angela
you followed the instructions
as opposed to old sandwich features
who came in talking about sandwiches we're talking about
toast. Grumpy Lisa's back
Grumpy Lisa
always replies in a grumpiest
tone. In a stern tone. He's a
grown. Yep here it is. Oh yes he's a grown. Yep, here it is.
Oh, yes.
He's a grown man.
He can cut his own toast if he wants it cut.
Oh, Lisa.
I'll make it.
Only because, again, he's a man and he's messy,
but cut it your damn self.
Grumpy Lisa.
Always grumpy.
No, but I feel like we're all a bit grumpy and sad at the moment.
No, but Lisa's been grumpy for years.
She could have just told us the story, but she tells it grumpy.
I love it.
She's grumpy Lisa.
Not grumpy Lisa.
Another Lisa.
It says rectangles.
So she's just gone in half.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I would have put that under the squares umbrella personally.
Yeah, same.
Sort of a non-triangular cutting option.
Sophie says, toasties have to be triangle Toast has to be squares
And sandwiches have to be halved
Do you know what?
I'm kind of on board
She's right
She's got her cutting dynamic down
Is there even a toasted sandwich maker
That does halves?
Or are they always triangles?
No
They were triangles or panini
The pockets were triangles
Right
If it seals
It was always in a triangle
Yeah That's what I thought.
But if you didn't want the triangle toasted sandwich,
you just had to make it like a panini press.
Yes.
You still go triangles though.
Like a Reuben.
Oh my God, my favorite sandwich in the whole country is halves.
Not triangles.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
I don't know what even the world is anymore

It was about if you were nicely making your partner toast,

Yeah.
Both super cool.
Yeah.
Super cool.
Are they cool again now?
Probably.
They've always been cool.
No, no, they've always been cool.
It's just that our parents were too poor.
Oh, yeah.
My dad, I remember when we asked if we could get a motocross bike,
he's like, we've got one.
We've got the farm bike.
I'm like, you can't do jumps on that.
And he's like, yeah, you're damn right you can't do jumps on it.
It cost me a fortune.
I'm not buying a motorbike for you dickheads to do jumps on
so you can hurt yourself and have your mother all worried.
You've got push bikes.
Cut an ice cream lid and put it in your spokes
and then if you pedal hard enough
It goes
And you pretend you've got a motorbike
Oh god
And get out there
Yeah
We lived in the country
Hayley can't relate
Because she went to a private school
But this is what it was like
She probably had a motocross bike
Had a horse
Yeah I did
Yeah I rode
Her horse probably rode a motocross bike
He did
He hopped on the bike
And then I would hop on him
And we'd trot off to Queen Margaret College.
And you'd be in your No Fear and your Fox gear.
Yeah, my FUBU.
The affluence.
Yeah.
It was smack.
Oh, God, I loved it.
Well, this guy got a fearless tattoo on his neck.
And where, how long ago?
A little while ago.
Okay.
And now the problem is that's a Taylor Swift thing.
Yep.
And everybody thinks it's a Taylor Swift tattoo
But he's like
It's not
I'm fearless
So fearless
I had a tattoo on my neck

You don't see his like face front on.
Okay.
In the TikTok that I'm looking at.
But also the woman that videoed it and asked him if he's a Swifty
is a Swifty.
So he must have been within the vicinity of a Swift related event.
Yeah.
Which is everywhere at the moment.
It's like COVID.
Being a Swifty is like COVID.
Everybody's catching it.
Everyone's getting on.
Everybody's catching it.
I've got a tattoo that's changed meanings.
I've got a J.
My best friend got an H, and I've got a J.

It stands for Jason.
Oh, my God.
Okay. You never know if it was ever to happen. It doesn't stand for Jesus, it stands for Jason. Oh my God, okay.
You never know if it was ever to happen.
You'd be like, oh my God, is that for me?

Everything down from lighting to the kind of smile you want.

Or down lighting.
Absolutely.
Pops.

The cellulite.
Let me tell you that.
Oh my God.
Clothing, like clothing stores with your down lighting.
I don't need to see it.
Do you think clothing stores need like ring lights?
They need ring lights.
They need to make my skin glow.
They always have like one down light down there and it just makes all of your skin look textured and lumpy.
I'm sick of clothing stores making me look fat.
Yeah.
It's all you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're not taking Any personal responsibility
Absolutely not
No no no
In 2023
I will continue to blame
Everybody but myself
For my
Declining physical
Presence
Don't get me started
On the companies
That make scales
They're busted mate
Why are they
Why does the number
Keep going up
Yeah and when did we decide
That a size 12
Is a different size now
Yeah
We just made it smaller.
No one told me that.
And food.
Yeah, food.
You know what?
They keep putting it in your mouth, don't they?
They do.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
There's people coming over and shoving it in my mouth.
They keep putting it in stores, and the stuff that's good for you costs more, and it's yuck,
and the stuff that's bad for you is cheaper, and it's yummier.
What's up with that?
Do you know one of her tips?
I simply must have words with somebody about this.
Oh, I know.
Who put all the calories in alcohol, by the way?
When did that become a thing?
Because it wasn't there 10 years ago, I'll tell you that.
I know.
And then I drink some and I'm like, fantastic,
and I have some more and then I drink more and then I forget to stop.
Yeah.
And then I don't feel good.
And the 5kgs that they've got at the plates at the gym,
when did they turn those into 10s?
I mean, it's just, I used to be able to do so much more
and now they've added weight to the plates.
It really is everybody else's fault, isn't it?
It really is.
Do you know one of her tips for...
Who keeps putting cigarettes in my mouth?
Who keeps lighting these cancer sticks?
I don't want them.
Gosh.
See, she got a few tips, right?
One of them is...
Also, I just can't get enough.
Why do they keep making horses run so fast
and putting my money on them?
I know.
I know.
I was trying to find my wallet the other day
and I was like, where is it?
And someone was like, it's at the TAB.
And I was like, who's right there other day and I was like where is it and someone was like it's at the TAB and I was like who's right there
can I just watch
a horse run
without them
making me spend
my money on
trying to guess
which horse is the fastest
and don't get me
started on those
fun things that
money gets put into
that sing you a song
and ring a ding
ding ding ding
and then some
lights flash
and then the money
comes out
they just take it
don't they
we've got a locksmith
coming over today
because some seamstress
broke into my house and made all my clothes smaller over today because some seamstress broke into my house
and made all my clothes smaller.
Now I'm like, you can't break into my house.
No, no, no.
She's come in in the night and sewn all the sides.
So you're going to change the locks
so that your clothes fit again?
Yeah, well, people keep coming in and tightening them.
Right, okay.
Moving the buttons and stuff.
It's really bizarre behaviour.
And who made drugs so delicious?
Who keeps doing that?
God, it really is everybody else's
fault is how dare they yeah okay give me a name okay one of her tips to have a really good photo
is the mona lisa smile so you go like just don't smile because she's like and then your face folds
yeah who did that by the way who cut all these lines in my face? Who cut all these little lines by my eyes?
Who keeps making my skin softer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who came down and yanked my breasts lower?
Yeah.
Who keeps taking, who keeps making my penis smaller?
And the skin around it, like the tummy around it bigger?
It seems like my tummy's getting bigger and it seems to be just absorbing my penis.
Who did that?
It's not a symbiotic relationship
if they're both not getting something out of it.
Who hid it under there?
Why is it hiding?
I have no idea, man,
but the same person's doing that crap to me
and I'm over it.
What else did she say?
So smile like the Mona Lisa.
So like a creep?
So don't smile.
Just turn up the corners of your mouth.
I can't believe she looked like that.
No, that just looks weird, doesn't it?
You look like a fish.
You look like a special fish.
You're one of those ones that dredge up from the deep sea.
Yes, they're like...
This is like the guy hanging out. Anglerfish. And one of those ones they drew out from the deep sea yes they're like hmm like hanging out
angler fish
and one of those
fish that doesn't
have a name yet
because it's been
hiding for so long
yeah so they just
call it like
David Kefofelmon
because he found it
yeah
the other one is
that we don't say
cheese because we
go cheese
that's not a nice
smile
we should say
yoga
yoga
yoga
because that kind
of opens your mouth
in a nicer way but also i i can go yoga
no i've got no chin and i look who keeps doing that who took your chin oh my god i woke up and
someone had just taken the chin elves someone took it and they filled it with the soft stuff
the replacement of the bone yeah they took the bone and replaced it with just
fat. You need to change your locks again.
Who puts these grey hairs
in here? Grey hair fairy.
Play ZM's Fletch
Vaughan Ailey. Play
ZM. There is a journalist called
Jana Hocking in the UK and
she has
I don't know if she's coined this term
but she's sort of brought it into the light.
Okay.
Now, when she was in her 20s,
she dated a man who she caught stealing a little bit of money from her wallet.
And she was like, don't do that.
What?
And then she stayed four years into the relationship.
That's right.
She stayed with him.
Yeah.
The red flags were going.
Mostly, I think the giveaway was his stint in jail for stealing.
Okay.
She loves a bad boy then.
Loves a bad boy, right?
Yeah.
After that, she broke up with him and was like, ugh.
Then she vowed.
After that.
I know.
She stayed with him while he was in jail.
After that, she was like, I'm never going to date.
She started doing well in her career.
She studied and then he was like, why don't you just go get a secretary job?
We'll go live here.
And she was like, eh.
I had enough of you.
She started earning her own money and she made the decision
that she would never,
ever date someone
who made less money
than her again.
Ever.
So she'd only date rich men.
She's dating up
or marrying up,
she calls it,
or the term is
hypergamous.
A hypergamous relationship.
So you're always dating up.
You're dating up.
Hypergamous.
Defined as dating up
and marrying up.
A term used in social science
for the act or
practice of a person dating or marrying a spouse
of higher
social status,
income,
all that kind of stuff.
And now she said 10 years later
after making that decision, she's never done
it and has had many successful
relationships. I mean, when you say many
successful, it kind of goes, well, they're not successful.
They're over. Yeah. But
you know, it just
works for her. And now she will not.
She simply will not
date anyone.
She could be missing out
on all these guys. She doesn't care.
She doesn't care just because they don't earn as much
money. Yeah. And she's like, look, I know, like
light the pitchforks.
Like, you know, come for me.
No, you don't light the pitchforks in a good lynching.
Someone's stabbing, someone's burning.
So you're lighting the torches.
You light the torch or you grab a pitchfork.
Don't light a pitchfork.
A flaming pitchfork?
What if I put my pitchfork covered in gasoline?
Sure.
Now it's on fire.
Yeah, now it's on fire.
I guess it could work.
It would burn out
pretty quick though.
I guess her point is
you want to cover
in a sort of
a napalmy situation.
She's expecting people
to come for her.
Yeah, she is.
Now she's dating a guy,
her hypergamous man,
fascinating career,
high earner,
can pay for himself.
They go to fancy restaurants.
He's not asking her for money and it really, really works for himself. They go to fancy restaurants. He's not asking her for money,
and it really, really works for her.
So I want to know,
what is the thing that you,
the person you're looking at must have?
For me?
You would never date a short king.
No.
You just love your tall men.
They've got to be, what, at least seven foot?
They've got to be big.
I just really love a big
dude, a real massive man.
I've always dated a woman who had heads.
Now, I don't mean to offend the headless
community. Good morning to our headless
listeners. Good morning to our head amputees.
But I
call me old-fashioned.
You'd never date anyone without a head.
Interesting. You know, now that I'm
saying it out loud, I feel terrible for saying it.
Just because I haven't doesn't mean I couldn't.
You could be cancelled for that too.
2023 people without heads will come for me.
Producer Shannon,
when you were single, did you have a
criteria, a must
have list?
I think one of them would have been
to date a magician. Yeah, gotta be a magician.
They have to be able to be.
If you come in here and you can't flip cards or something.
Basic illusions.
Yeah, I'll hand him a deck of cards and see what he can do.
No, but one thing that is serious is I don't have my full licence
and I need to drive, like I need someone who's got a full licence
and they've had to have it for two years
so I can legally have them as a passenger.
Or you could go
get your licence.
Nah, it's easier
to have a man
drive me around.
Wow!
The feminism is oozing
through the mic.
I love a woman
who likes to be
driven around.
I make him drive me around.
So it is feminist.
Have you dated guys
without their licence?
I tried.
I went on one date
and he's like,
can you pick me up?
I was like, no.
Because I've been
on my restricted
for nine years.
Yeah, so they ended that.
Good on you for following the law there.
Yeah.
Yeah, because most people wouldn't.
They'd just drive around.
Driving for this job every single day,
I break curfew by 10 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
I'm so nervous.
You can get an exemption for employment.
I mean, I should just get the full, I think, exemption.
Yeah, it's been nine years.
You should.
You really should.
We should do one of those things.
We're on air.
We're like, Shannon's getting her full licence.
I think it would just be a bit sad because I don't even know how to parallel park at this point.
Oh, I can teach you.
Oh, my God.
Okay, yeah.
I'm going to get behind the wheel.
Well, whatever it may be, whether they have to be a magician or they have to be...
A certain height?
A certain height.
Maybe a hair colour.
But maybe you're like this journalist.
You've got to date someone who earns more money.
Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe you want to date someone, maybe you're a carer.
And you don't, you can't.
You only want to date people that earn less than you,
so you care for them.
It could be a thing.
You're kind of like a mum figure.
You want to mummy a...
Yeah.
You know those guys that...
Breastfeeding.
You want to...
No.
That's a whole side of the internet.
I was meaning making their lunch and looking after them.
A mummy baby thing.
Yeah.

We are talking about a must-have for your partner.
What is their dating requirements?
Yeah, there was a woman who wrote an article about
she will only date people who earn more money than her,
who won't steal money from her wallet.
Too much to ask?
Too much to ask.
It's hard out there.
And you'd only go for tall guys.
I know that sounds terrible,
but that'd have to be quite something.
Yeah.
I've gotten used to a big, big, big man.
She likes a big boy.
I like a big boy.

Thanks, Nicole.
Ask the messages in.
They've got to be able to bring something practical to the table
if there was a zombie apocalypse or an end of the world type situation.
That's fair.
Strategy, brawn, or science knowledge.
They just can't have a whole bunch of unpractical talents
when it comes to survival.
Like piano.

Oh, yes, we didn't have chocolate
Oh my god, it was constantly
And you probably had like the proper posh ice cream
With all the lumps and gumps
Yeah, we had Movenpick
You would have had a Movenpick.
You would have had a Gold Rush or a Goody Goody.
No, my mum was French Vanilla.
Yeah, French Vanilla rules.
See, Milo would have been perfect on French Vanilla.
So the photo that has been leaked shows the McFlurry with...
Milo balls.
Milo balls.
What are those?
Is that like the Milo cereal?
Remember they did a cereal and it was like the ball clusters?
Yeah, it might be.
And then kind of Milo kind of spread throughout the McFlurry.
God, Milo rules, eh?
It was so good in ice cream.
Like that just reminds me of like childhood.
So good.
Milo did an ice cream, eh?
They did like a bar.
Did they?
Yeah, I remember it.
A short-lived.
Like an ice cream bar. You know how sometimes like a chocolate barlived like an ice cream bar you know how sometimes
like a chocolate bar will do an ice cream yeah short-lived yeah well yeah leaked in quotation
marks uh in australia by a foodie so this uh coming to australian that high that high quality
jpeg that's been uploaded is definitely leaked oh yeah that wasn't sent as an attachment to an email
definitely wasn't, no.
So the Milo McFlurry,
Australia, yes.
Unsure if it'll come here,
but surely, right?
It's a sitter.
Oh, come on.
We lap it up.
We lap it up here.
I'll lap it up.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
Girl Math.
Girl Math. Girl Math. Girl Math. It's time for another edition of Girl Math. Girl Math.
Girl Math.
Girl Math.
It's time for another edition of Girl Math.
Where the girlies try to...
Try.
Try.
Have we failed?
I don't think it's going to fail you.
Try to justify an exorbitant purchase.
Yeah, and I'm really invested in this one.
We welcome Lucy from the office into the studio.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm really invested because the purchase
you are considering making, I've made.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I've bought these myself.
Did you at the time run a little girl math?
Nope.
I bought them and just dealt with it afterwards.
Right.
But then the moment I used the product, Aaron was like, I get it.
Oh, okay.
So what are you looking at buying?
I would love to buy the full set of bedding from Bedthreads.
So that's an Aussie linen company.
These ones always come up on Instagram or Facebook.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's how they got me.
So you're talking bottom sheet, top sheet,
two pillowcases, duvet cover
and then two pillowcases with the duvet cover.
Oh my god, and all linen.
Like that wash kind of what's in at the
moment. Yeah, flex linen.
Yeah, right, okay. What colour are you thinking?
Well, I put it together because it's like Sims.
Yeah, the bundle. Yeah, you can make it work in front you thinking? Well, I put it together because it's like Sims. Yeah, the bundle.
Yeah, you can make it work in front of your eyes.
So that's how they get you.
So I was thinking like a forest green duvet.
I've got the forest green duvet.
Oh, I could come and check it out.
You can.
Like a pinstripe.
It's quite rude to invite your Sim friend to someone's house. Oh, I'll invite you.
You can come and lay on my bed.
Why don't you bring the photos?
Hang on.
Literally the last time you two were at my house,
you all lay on the bed.
Yeah.
We were invited.
We were invited.
Lucy, you're invited.
The minute I'm invited to a house,
I'm laying on the bed.
Straight on the bed.
Also, that was the only place to sit
during your renovation.
Look, besides the fact we have no furniture,
everyone was laying on the bed.
Yep.
So, forest green duvet.
Yeah, and then I was thinking
maybe a little bit of a pinstripe sheet.
Yeah, nice.
I've got the pinstripe sheet. Oh, my gosh. This is getting a little weird. Yeah. Similar. Yeah, and then I think it maybe a little bit of a pinstripe sheet number. Yeah, nice. I've got the pinstripe sheet.
Oh, my gosh.
This is getting a little weird.
Yeah.
Similar.
Yeah, and then I think it was the pinstripe.
Californian, the square pillow.
Is that what it's called?
Yeah, the Euro.
The European pillow.
Opposite.
Well, they're geographically named pillows.
Yeah.
And then the forest green.
Other ones.
So you've got one, two, three, four pillows, top sheet, bottom sheet, duvet.
So you've got seven items here.
How much is that seven items
going to cost you?
I think it was $656.
How much?
Sorry?
How much?
Yeah, but the sleeping experience
is like no other.
No, wait, I didn't hear that.
Just 656, if you say it like that.
656, 650.
You've got a linen.
Don't you have a set of Sheridans?
I love Sheridans.
You sleep on Egyptian cotton. I don't sleep on, no, I've got, You don't have to go to Egypt for this. I don got a linen. Don't you have a set of Sheridans? I've got a lot of Sheridans.
You've got an Egyptian cotton.
I don't sleep on,
no, I've got,
You don't have to go to Egypt for this.
I don't do linen.
I don't do,
what do I,
I've got,
I like cotton sheets.
You do a high thread count cotton.
I mean,
you've already kicked us off with girl math
because she's saving herself a flight to Egypt
for God's sake.
I googled,
why is bed thread so expensive?
Maybe what I'm about to tell you
could be worked into.
Bit of girl math as well.
This is a bit of research.
Manufacturing linen is a laborious and time-consuming process.
Linen is more costly than cotton because the flax plant from which linen originates
demands more special care and attention.
If you've ever had flax, that's bullshit.
That stuff just goes on for days.
It's harder to weave without the risk of snapping threads.
Yeah, it's very expensive.
Also, do you know what I love most about sleeping on linen sheets, Ah, it's harder to weave without the risk of snapping threads. Yeah, it's very expensive.
Also, do you know what I love most about sleeping on linen sheets,
which I exclusive?
The only time I sleep on cotton is when I'm over in Egypt at Fletcher's house.
It's the breathability because I sleep hot and so does Aaron.
You've got a partner, right?
Yeah, he runs hot.
He runs hot.
So if you've got to think about now you're sweating through whatever cheap sheets you're going to buy instead, you're going
through the mattress protector.
I looked one up online. What size
is your bed? Super king. Yeah, we're looking at
$200 there, so we can take that off the cost.
We're already at $456.
And there's a partner in the bed, so you
divide that by two. Well, there you go.
$456 divided by two, that's
$225-ish, $2.30-ish.
I mean, let's
cross over to the girlies now.
We're already at $230. We're at $230.
Karwin, where are you at with the girl math?
Well, see, my math was based off of
basically rounding it up to $700, because
anything that's over $650 feels like $700.
Yeah, that's right.
And so if you divide $700 by $365,
that's how many nights you're probably going to sleep in
in the better year,
that's already down to $1.90.
$1.90 a night to sleep in these sheets,
and that's only for a year.
They last longer than a year.
Exactly.
We've had ours for years.
And you divide it by two because there's two of you,
and you're going halves in it, I'm going to assume,
because partners have a house together, that vibe.
That's 95 cents a day.
Each.
Each.
Oh, my God. That's a steal. And is that just for a year? Do you know what that is? It's not a steal. It Each? Each. Oh my God.
That's a steal.
And is that just for a year?
Do you know what that is?
It's not a steal.
It's basically free.
It's basically free.
It really is.
And that's only for a year.
I mean, my sheets, if we could do that,
can you divide that?
Because the ones we're sleeping on,
which is the green and the pinstripe that Lucy,
you're after, we've had those for three years.
So divide your 90 cents by three.
Are they getting thin or holey?
Hell no.
This is quality. It's what she's
paying for. I did fall asleep on a pair of
on a massage gun on linen sheets
and it did rub a hole through it.
So I will say don't do that. Well, don't
leave your massage gun
in the bed. You know, sometimes straight
afterwards, you're so exhausted, you've just got to
just put the board off.
We're talking 30 cents.
We're talking 30 cents each tonight.
Now, Shannon, I don't even know what you need to do with 30 cents.
Is she going to be making money?
Don't worry.
I've got her solution to make money.
So I've worked out bottom sheet, top sheet, and a duvet is two layers of linen, right?
So we're talking four layers of linen.
The area of a super king bed is four metres.
So we're going four times four.
Four square metres, yep. So we're at four times four. Four square metres, yep. Yep. So we're at
16 now. 16 metres.
16 metres of linen. The average
cost of linen in New Zealand to buy the fabric
is $40 a metre. Yeah, it's expensive.
16 times 40 is
$640. That's
pure cost before the
pillowcases, before the stuffing for the
duvet. Before the sewing, yeah.
You don't need to buy a sewing machine.
You're telling me Lucy's actually ripping off the company.
There is no way you could get a duvet
for cheaper.
Far out.
A linen one, yeah.
Of this quality, you could not make it
for cheaper.
Because you've worked out that math with just
the bulk of the fabric.
But the pillowcases, they're about $100 each.
So now she's made $400.
This is working.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you're going to have a higher quality sleep.
We do spend a third of our life in a bed.
Good boy.
We spend a third of our life in bed.
We go to bed.
Yeah.
A third of our lives. We are in our house our life in bed. We go to bed. Yeah. A third of our lives.
We're in our house.
That's right.
You would have spent more money, Lucy, on worse things
than somewhere where you spend a third of your life.
100%.
Yeah.
But I did just have a thought.
You could always get new linen,
and I'll buy the secondhand linen from you.
You want to buy mine and Aaron's three-year-old sheets?
Man, Kate.
I promise you, you don't.
I promise you, you don't. I promise you, you don't.
So where are we at?
It's not basically free.
Lucy's just made $400 in buying these sheets.
Congratulations.
Making money.
That's incredible.
Add to cart.
Add to cart.
I think after that free promo on air,
they should send you some free ones.
Someone's messaged in, a fellow girl mathematician.
Yeah.
You've got to deduct the cost of the spare sheets you don't need to buy
because your linen ones are so much better quality, you won't need them.
Yeah, you don't need them.
Well, add another 300.
And they dry so quickly, so you just, in the same day, you change your sheets.
Wash and dry, wash and dry.
But then I'm thinking, if she's making money off this,
why doesn't she buy a second set?
But now she's going to have to find around $250, which is $125 each.
Easy, because you could put it on the line to dry it.
There's no hurry to put it in the dryer to get it straight back on the bed.
And running a dryer is not cheap.
You do that a few times, you've probably paid more off. Do that a few times.
Plus, I know this website does 15% off if you share it on Instagram and tag them in it.
So you made money again, babe.
You got two sets of sheets out of it.
Why are we not running the country?
Yeah.
With this sort of mix.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We will be.
Bourne, just give it another week.
We could bamboozle China.
So hot desking is when you work maybe in a more of a fluid workplace and you don't have your own allocated desk.
I'd hate that if I worked in an office.
Like, I want to know where I'm a creature of habit.
I want my space.
And what if you find a really nice space one day
and the next day it's gone with a good view?
Yeah, because Gary from the office is sitting in it
Oh we've got a Gary don't we
But
Bloody Gary's sitting
Everyone's got a Gary
Or
Yeah you've got
Your spot
And they're there
You've got a picture of Major Muzz
Are you going to move it every day
Oh yeah what do you do with your pictures
I think you have pictures
I think hot desks are very plain
But how are you going to remember
What it's all for
Like Homer Simpson
Remembering it's all for her
For Maggie What Do you not remember that episode Very plain. How are you going to remember what it's all for? Like Homer Simpson remembering it's all for her.
For Maggie.
What?
Do you not remember that episode?
When he's working at the plant and everything goes wrong and at the end he pulls back some of the things that are there
that Mr Burns has covered and it says,
remember it's all for her or something in his pictures of Maggie.
What about Bart and Lisa?
Screw them.
They're little...
They're brats.
Brats, man.
Bart's a brat,
but Lisa's, you know,
I misunderstood.
Anyway, hot bedding.
Same theory.
There's a bed
and who's in it
can kind of change
or be a bit fluid.
I think you're describing
hotels.
Or London OEs.
Yeah, I was going to say
I feel like that's
a bit of a London OE thing.
If you can make it work,
say, with a friend
that works different hours than you. That's one version of it. I mean of a London OE thing. If you can make it work, say, with a friend that works different hours than you.
That's one version of it.
I mean, a cost of living thing.
Some people are doing this.
Also, there's a story of a woman called Monique.
And it started for her during the lockdowns.
And she had split with her partner for a while.
And then the lockdowns happened.
And she's like really a social butterfly and an extrovert.
Knew she wouldn't go too well on her own locked down yeah and he uh split his time between two
cities visiting his child and she was like when you're here just not how lockdowns work
well i don't know if he was doing it then but when when like she was like well can you come
and live here and live in the bed yeah and we'll we'll be fine. And then you can go again.
But they were friends.
They were friends.
Okay, right.
Yeah, because with a stranger, hotbedding would be weird. It would be unless, yeah, like you say,
that you, like to keep the cost of the rent down,
if you had someone who worked nights and you worked mornings.
Yeah, so you get up in the morning, get ready for work,
and they're finishing their night shift.
High five in the hallway.
They get the bed, which you've pre-warmed.
I don't want to get in someone else's warm spot.
A pre-warmed toilet seat.
It's like when you sit on a chair at a cafe or somewhere and it's pre-warmed.
Oh, yeah.
It's hot.
You're just like.
I hate that.
Yeah, a warm toilet seat is feral.
I cannot stand it.
But a warm bed?
But maybe it's like you could have a system where you've got your own sheets
and you come and you put your sheets on and then remove them.
Or you've got your side if it's a big enough bed.
So if they're on the left, you're on the right.
And then you're paying for one room but you're not sharing it.
It's a pretty good idea.
Because I was going to say have two separate beds,
but a lot of the flats aren't that big enough to have two singles,
even a double maybe at most.
They're saying in Australia in particular,
hotbedding is gaining popularity because of sky-high costs and inflation.
Which is sad, yeah.
So insane.
There was a woman, a 19-year-old woman from India,
who told the news that she splits her quite expensive rent
with a man who works night shifts as a truck driver.
You're right.
How do you know that works?
Maybe you're stinky.
Don't you know what I mean?
You don't have to ask and don't have a wash.
You have a shower.
You'd have to have some rules before you're hot.
Got a shower before you jump in the bed.
Got a shower, yeah.
Yeah, she said she sleeps in the bed at night
while he's driving around
and then he sleeps in the bed during the day.
On days when he isn't working,
she camps out on a mattress.
In the storeroom.
Oh that's not cool.
But I would you know.
If I went overseas for like a while.
To make this work.
I'd do it with a friend.
With a friend I think would be easier than doing it with people you don't know.
A stranger.
Who's in charge of the sheets?
And when do you even have time to do the sheets?
Because you would normally dry them when you're at work.
Yeah, I know.
The weekend.
I think you'd have to...
You'd have to have two sets of sheets.
And then, yeah, the weekend.
Like, you're not working every day.
Are you just sleeping bags?
But that's for the days that she's camping out in the storeroom.
Oh, yeah.
That's...
Yeah.
Or maybe, like, if you were a bit of a player,
on the weekends you go out and you find another bearded German.
Really backing yourself there, Sproul.
I know, every night I'm like, I have to find someone.
I need to go to sleep.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day is about chickens.
I've got some chickens.
I've got 10 new chickens and they're dumb.
Are they dumb?
They're dumb.
They won't sleep in their house at night.
Every night I have to go out and pick them all up individually and carry them in and put them in their house.
Oh, God.
That's dumb.
That's dumb. They sleep in the goat's house and they're all like on the in their house. Oh, God. Okay, that's dumb. That's dumb.
They sleep in the goat's house and they're all like on the ground.
They're not supposed to.
They're supposed to roost up at night.
Sit on...
...eggs yet?
Yep.
Okay.
The eggs have started growing.
And still no free eggs at work.
No, I want him to test them first, make sure they're juicy.
They're good.
Okay, see what bad.
They're juicy eggs. They're like light pale yellow or something. No, rich, rich orange yolk. Yum, yum, make sure they're juicy. They're good. In case they're what, bad? They're juicy eggs.
In case they're like light pale yellow or something.
No, rich, rich orange yolk.
Yum, yum, yum.
Good stuff.
You know what I've been doing?
Chucking them a bit of dog roll.
What?
Chickens love a bit of dog roll.
I don't want to eat your dog roll eggs.
Chickens love a bit of dog roll.
What do you mean?
They've got enough.
Give them pellets in the grass.
No, they need protein.
Make them a protein smoothie
Or something
A little bit of dog roll
I was like
Because somebody said to me
You try feeding them dog roll
I said dog roll a lot
Now it's lost all meaning
How expensive are these chickens
Nah it's the cheapest
It was the cheap
Cheap cheap dog roll
That I bought to try it on
Now what are you feeding them
But I did check
It didn't have chicken in it
Because I was like
You can't go down that road
It didn't have chicken in it
So They went And I just took have chicken in it so they went
and I just took
a little bit
and they went
crazy for it
so every night
and somebody said
it's good for them
over winter
a bit extra protein
and they put on
a bit extra size
and such
is this the fact
of the day
that chickens
like dog roll
it's about chickens
but it's not
and so these chickens
I need to carry
every night
I need to take
them into their house
just do them
ahead and they
won't find their
own way back in there.
So I lock them in there now.
Oh, yeah.
And they can't come out until the sun comes up and the foxes are gone.
What if the fire alarm goes off?
If somehow that shed in the middle of nowhere catches fire without any electricity involved in it.
They're not going to be able to get out.
Delicious, though.
Yeah.
That'll happen.
Char-grilled.
And carry them in. And then some of them
will jump up on the roost.
Some of them
will need to pick up
and put on the roost.
I've got some dumb chickens.
Yeah.
But anyway,
they're laying eggs
so they're doing their job.
But today's fact of the day
is when the rooster
started being called
the rooster.
Alright.
Because they roost?
It is because they roost.
Because they came home to roost?
Because they make a delicious roost chicken?
They're called roosters because they're a roosting bird,
but they weren't called roosters until the 18th century,
the late 18th century.
Before that, they were called cocks.
Right.
Cockerels
Yeah right
What's the cockerel?
Le coq
Is the French
French yeah
The French take on it
And that's where the origins of cock came from
From French
But in the late 18th century
That word took on another meaning
Yes it did
Willy
Yeah
To the point where it spread
And they were like
We really need to give this bird a new name.
They had a meeting.
They literally renamed it.
They had a little bit of a committee meeting.
Yeah.
The chicken committee had a meeting on why we're going to call
the anybody chicken committee,
had a meeting to discuss what the male chicken was going to be called.
Yeah.
Because the name it had always been called had become derogatory slang.
Goodness me.
Oh, goodness.
And so they did.
They had a debate about it and settled on rooster because it is a roosting bird.
Well, that makes sense.
And it wasn't until the late 18th century that that actually came around
because of the word being hijacked.
Yeah.
Funny that little willy slur.
Yeah.
Caused such a kerfuffle
for the name of the male chicken.
Renaming of the adult male chicken.
So today's fact of the day
is that in the late 18th century
the cock became
the rooster.
Fact of the day
day day day
day
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Day Day Day Day And breaking news
Rihanna has had her baby
Yes
With ASAP Rocky
As soon as possible Rocky
As soon as possible Rocky
A baby boy Congratulations I heard there was confusion Has had her baby. Yes. With ASAP Rocky. As soon as possible, Rocky. As soon as possible, Rocky.
A baby boy.
Congratulations.
I heard there was confusion in the delivery room because they're like, we've got to get this baby out.
And someone said ASAP.
And he said, yo.
Yeah.
And they're like, no, as soon as possible.
And he's like, only my mother calls me that.
Only when I'm in trouble.
And there was a bit of confusion, but they got it out.
So this just hasn't happened
It was earlier this month
But it's been kept secret apparently
Called TMZ
And they don't know the baby's name
Just that it might start with an R
Richard
Richard
Probably Richard
That's the only R name I know
Yeah
Richard
Roger
Robert
Well we could be here all day
Roy Roy's a great name Randy Now the World Cup is finished Tony, yeah. Richard. Roger. Robert. Well, we could be here all day, couldn't we?
Roy's a great name.
Randy.
Now, the World Cup is finished.
I didn't get into it as hard as I originally imagined I would.
But I know that the girlies did.
New Zealand themselves did.
Exceeding all expectations.
So many tickets sold.
It was amazing.
Well done.
I know.
Now it was Spain versus England in the final, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yes. That's two footy-lo the final, wasn't it? Yeah. Yes.
That's two footy-loving countries, isn't it?
Indeed.
And Spain took it out with an absolute rockin' score.
I think you've got to stop eating dog roll eggs.
Isn't there?
They're making me dumbed up.
Dumb dog roll eggs?
Dumbed up.
You're getting more dumber
I'm getting more and more dumber
So they won 1-0
The scores were lower
All throughout
But that's how football is
Oh is it?
1-0 over England
And Olga Carmona
Was the Spanish
Captain who shot that goal.
So she's the hero of the team, right?
Massive moment.
They're all getting a whopping paycheck.
Huge.
She comes off the field to find out that her father has passed away.
Now that's awful.
And her family waited.
Yes, this is what is so controversial.
Her family waited not to tell her.
They decided not to tell her, sorry, and waited until after the game
so that she could focus.
What a weird mix of emotions that after that game would be.
Yeah.
Because did she know?
Was he ill?
He was ill, right?
So before the game, she knew he could go at any kind of moment.
Was he on death's door or was it sudden?
Oh, my God, two days.
They waited two days.
He passed away on Friday, which was the 18th.
And that game was Sunday night.
Sunday the 20th.
I mean, I get it.
Would you want to know?
It's a huge moment.
No.
Because it would ruin you, right?
You'd just be like.
You can't focus.
She's the captain of the team.
It depends what sort of person you are.
Like you either channel it.
Exactly. To your advantage.
And I think if you're a professional sports person,
you probably do know how to channel that sort of thing into your performance.
I'm doing this for Dad.
I'm going to get out there.
And at the end of the game, it really hits you and you're like,
you have your moment.
But you tell other people who perhaps aren't professional sports people
who haven't had that sort of mental training of the game
and it would just floor them.
I know.
Yeah, it does depend.
When me and my brother were a bit younger,
my mum had a melanoma cut out
and then she told us and we were like, what?
And she was like, yeah, but it's done now.
My mum's done shit like that too.
Oh, your father came and got me from the hospital today.
What?
Why would we do it?
Why?
Unless you were just telling her something
and you're like, oh, she's like,
well, no one needs to worry about it.
I didn't want to worry you about it
unless it was a thing.
What if you had died?
I wasn't going to die.
You don't know that.
You don't know that.
I remember one marching nationals.
I think I was like 16.
My cat passed away over that weekend and my family didn't tell me.
And then I got back and we'd won nationals.
And I jumped on the home laptop and I was playing The Sims and my dad just came up and
put a hand on my shoulder and was like, hey, babe.
This is like when he told you Jira was leaving the Spice Girls. Yeah, knocked on
the bathroom door. Does dad
break the bad news? Dad breaks the bad news.
He's a good man to break the bad news. He is a good man.
But dad told me straight away because he knew that with
Jerry leaving, he knew that I'd have to know.
What more do you think? Jerry leaving
or the cat dying? Equal?
Jerry leaving. Nothing will ever hit as hard
as Jerry leaving.
But yeah yeah they delayed
My cat news so that I could focus on
Marching for the weekend
Yeah because if they'd told you it would have been a mess
Yeah what if something like that happened on your
Wedding day you know like Nan can't come
Because you know she's unwell and then your mum's
Sitting there and you're walking down the aisle she gets a text she's like
Oh god Nan's gone
Oh don't tell her it's her special day we'll tell her tomorrow
Tell her tomorrow or the day after
Oh yeah we don't want to let's just say special day. We'll tell her tomorrow. Tell her tomorrow or the day after. Oh, yeah.
We don't want to.
Well, let's just say she dies tomorrow because then the anniversaries will, you know, sink up.
I'll eat Nan's pudding.
Yeah.
Because I've already paid for the food.
I'll eat up Nan's pudding so that the plate at the table is not a reminder.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Free pudding.
Free pudding.
Yeah.
I think you're making the best of a bad situation there.
Yeah.
But we...
Nan would have wanted it this way.
We want to know if you've ever been in this situation.
If somebody delayed the bad news and why,
did you have a big event on, like a wedding or...
Or, like, what about end-of-year exams?
You know, like, maybe your grandmother died
and then you were...
Nah, dude.
It was bloody humanities that day.
What was that thing you could get if something bad happened?
Compensation.
Emotional compensation or whatever it was.
Yeah, you get bereavement something or the other.
Yeah, my friend got that.
Wow.
Yeah.
Or something horrendous has to happen.
What about you're on a two-week Fijian holiday and mum and dad are like,
oh, we won't tell you that someone's died.
I know.
It does depend. Like a grandparent. A grandparent. Well, yeah, you can't tell you that someone's died. I know. It does depend.
Like a grandparent.
A grandparent.
Well, yeah, you can pop them.
Two weeks is a long time.
Yeah, but what if it was like you had three days left in Fiji?
Oh, yeah.
I'll be home for the funeral.
We'll tell them when they get back.
Yeah, exactly.
We'll have the funeral mid-next week.
We want to know when the bad news was delayed.
Yeah, the captain of the Spanish women's football team was told after she came off the final,
after making the winning goal, that her dad had passed away.
Renee, what happened?
Yeah, on my wedding day, unfortunately, there was a car accident and one of my good friends was killed.
Oh my God, Renee.
And so this is on your big day You're on your way to your wedding
And so when did they tell you?
They told me after I got my photos taken

And then before going into the reception
I got told then

No And there was a couple others missing too Oh my gosh Had you noticed that she wasn't there though? No

Who were obviously crying in other areas

Are you glad they told you then
Or do you wish you'd known before?

How was the rest of the day?
Terrible.

Yeah, no.
I'm so sorry you went through that.
That's really awful.
Yeah, wow.
Man, that's...
It's heart-wrenching, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
It's nothing.
Renee, thank you.
Some messages in.
Someone said,
my dad is an absolute shocker at this
and he always just claims he forgot to tell us.
He's had two strokes
and we didn't find out about it for weeks.
It's like the protective thing, eh?
Like, oh, we won't bother them.
Bother me!
He badly burned his face
and it wasn't until I saw him a few weeks later
and I'm like, what happened?
He's like, oh, this. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Old mates, eh? He burned his face and it wasn't until I saw him a few weeks later and I'm like, what happened? He's like, oh, this.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Old mate,
say. He burned his face.
They put down two of the family
pets but didn't want to bother me with that bad news
so they didn't tell me until I went home and I realised
that the pets weren't there. He's like,
oh yeah, well I was meant to tell you or your mother was going
to. Oh my god, old mate. So many
messages, calls coming in. We'll get to more of those
next when the bad news was delayed.
Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley.
Play ZM.
Goodness gracious.
Man, life, eh?
Got some ups and downs.
We want to know when the bad news was delayed,
like the Spanish captain of the football team.
Dad died when she was playing the game.
No, Dad died two days before.
And they didn't tell her because the final was coming up.
Yeah, and they were like, oh, you know, she just want to focus on that.
Somebody messaged in.
She was already playing the game for her best friend's mum
who had passed away the day before.
Oh, some people just get it all, don't they?
All at once.
Anonymous.
Anonymous, good morning.
When was the bad news delayed?
Oh, goodness.
Good morning.
Wait, was that you or a baby screaming?
Oh, sorry, that's my four-year-old in the car.
I thought you were excited to be on.
No.
So when I was seventh form, it was the night before my seventh form exams.
I had to get 14 credits in history to get university entrance.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was studying very hard.
I was a good girl.
And I got a call from my cousin who was like five years younger than me.
And she was like, hey, did you hear about your dad?
And I was like, no, what are you talking about?
Like I saw dad a couple of days ago.
She was like, your dad's in jail.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I mean, I don't mean to laugh.
That's terrible.
Yeah, and I was like, what do you mean?
And she was like, yeah, he's in jail.
He's been arrested for, like, 60 charges.
Oh, jeez.
Okay.
He's a bad dad.
And you're, like, trying to learn about Hitler.
Bad guy.
Also a bad guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so I, like, ran out to my mum and I was like crying.
And I was like, oh my God.
Like I just found out Dad's gone to jail.
And I was like bawling my eyes out.
And she was like, oh babe, I actually knew.
Oh, she was trying to protect you.
And I was like, what do you mean?
And she was like, oh, I was just going to tell you after your exams.
And I was like, I was kind of upset at the start.
I was like, I can't believe you didn't tell me and everybody knows.
Well, she wants you to have UE so you don't end up in prison.
Yeah.
And now I'm a mum, I'm like, oh, my God.
You get it.
Yeah.
You tell your child just before they have.
Are you a criminal?
Have you been to prison?
Are you a criminal? Have we been to prison? I'm just... Are you a criminal?
Have we got a criminal on the line here?
Wait, I need to know if you passed your exams.
I did.
Yay!
Well, bravo.
How long was Dad in prison for?
Oh, like nine years or something.
With 60 charges, you know, you've got to work it out.
Anonymous, thanks for your course of messages
And when was the bad news delayed?
I was in fifth form at boarding school
Doing school C exams
My parents didn't tell me
The family cat and dog
Had passed away while I was studying
Because they wanted me to do well in exams
And also your parents don't love you
Because you're at boarding school
Yeah yeah
They'd rather pay someone else
To take care of you
And that's not cheap either
So if you were to put a dollar amount
On exactly how much your parents hated you,
that's how much.
That's what we used to tell our second cousins.
Because we were the poor family.
But, you know, at least our parents love us.
My mum and dad died.
Oh, no, my mum and Nana died on the same day.
No one told me about Nana for a week because I was already, like,
inconsolable about mum. No, say
at the same time you're already sad. Rip the bandaid
off. Bandaid it. Now you've got to be sad
twice. Sheesh. In two weeks.
Yeah. Um, I'd
just given birth to my son but my Nana had passed
away at around about the same time so mum
waited till the next day to tell me.
Um. Don't,
please don't read the text, get ready to cry.
Mum's struggling through it
Not at this time of the day
Well now I need to know
My mum and dad decided to split up
This isn't the crying one
But I was about to go on my AOE
And they thought I wouldn't go if they split up
So they waited six months until I left
Oh wow okay
As soon as you'd gone through that bit
Where they couldn't turn around and come back
They're like phew we're done
Are you going to read the cry one? I don't I haven't found it It's like the sad back. They're like, phew, we're done.
Are you going to read the cry one?
I don't.
I haven't found it.
It's like the saddest thing. You're like welling up in your eyes.
I know.
I don't know if we're going to end the show on it.
It's really sad.
Yeah.
What's your vibe, Vaughn?
I don't want to finish the show on a bad vibe.
What about if you read it out and then you read a funny one?
Like the horse one.
I could read the horse one. The horse one that was i could read the horse one the horse one was funny it was a bit funny okay you go and then i'll back it up with the horse
i'm bored i'm thinking of exaggerating the horse one adding an extra like he slipped on a banana
or something like that a little extra flair okay get ready to cry my close friend was dying while
i was pregnant i went into labor and she rung my husband and said that she wasn't going to make it
and didn't want me to know until my daughter was born.
So she sent flowers to my husband to give to me and told him she would high five my
girl on her way out and she had passed once the baby was born.
Oh, that's so sad.
I don't think you can follow that up with some stupid horse joke.
Give me a horse.
Give me a horse.
We were leaving home and driving to school and my horse was lying down in the paddock.
Yep. And I said, that doesn't look right And mum said nah nah nah
They're just lying down because it's a lovely sunny morning
And then when I got home I went to feed my horse
And it wasn't there and I said to dad
Hey where's my horse and dad said
Oh shit I was meant to tell you before you noticed
It was dead in the paddock this morning
But we just didn't
We just didn't want you to have a day off school.
Oh, no.
Ruthless.
Oh, another one in the bag.
It's a Versace bag as well.
If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review
and be sure to tell your mates.
You don't sound sincere there, boy.
I'm just reading what's written here.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
