Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fleshborn and Hayley. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. Some ridiculously high temperatures yesterday.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I walked out of the house this morning and it reminded me of being a kid visiting Australia. You know when you open up the door and you're like, what the hell's happening out here? Or you get off a plane in like the islands. Like Singapore, yeah. So I think yesterday was, was it Auckland's fourth highest day ever? Was it? With like a 29, I saw a tweet from the Met service with the high temperatures yesterday. The highs, Master mastered in 33 degrees.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Their highest... Is your mic working? I just haven't talked yet. Oh, good morning. I thought I heard a rumbling and I was like... Could have been my tummy. A rumbly tum. A rumbly tum. Yeah, so mastered in with the high yesterday, 33 degrees.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Too shy of their high in 2021 of 35. So good that the planet's warming up. It's really good. It's mastered in a bit of a heat sink. Yeah, it is a little bit. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Yesterday, Palmy got to 30. It was 27 in Tauranga, 29 in Gisborne. New Plymouth was 27. Tells me there's not a lot of wind there. Yeah. Wellington, 29. Hamner got to's not a lot of wind there. Yeah. Wellington, 29.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Hamner got to 31. 26 in Christchurch. Yes, stinking hot. And more hot weather today as well. Hot days ahead. Yeah. Bit of rain on Tuesday for Yvonne in Auckland. Yeah, I've got to get the lawns done today.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah, Aaron got them done over the weekend. Did he? Yeah, just lawn check. Lawn check. Fletch your lawns. Don't have a lawn. Don't have a lawn. Don't have a lawn. Carpet.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Okay. Did you mow your carpet? I'll vacuum. Okay. You want to get that out before the rain because you'll get a significant growth after that given this heat. You will. You will indeed.
Starting point is 00:01:54 You'll probably want to get some furt on that carpet too actually. Yeah. I've got some lime on. Lime? Yeah. You're going to put some lime on it. Yeah. Some lime and some old bones.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Some old bones. Blood and bone. Blood and bone. I'm going to have the best roses. Yeah. R old blood and bone. Blood and bone. I'm going to add the best roses. Yeah, roses, yes, but that can burn your lawn. Burn my carpet. The top six on the way. Yeah, uniforms.
Starting point is 00:02:14 They're very expensive things, school uniforms. Very expensive. I've got the top six way to save some money on some school uniforms. I might also Google around to see if there's ever been an article on the country's most expensive school uniforms. Because you know different schools just kind of charge whatever they want. Mine was designed by Barbara Lee.
Starting point is 00:02:32 What's a Barbara Lee? Barbara Lee did the old Air New Zealand uniforms before. So Barbara Lee is a bit of a well-known New Zealand designer. A couple of goes before Trillies. And do they change it out every few years like in New Zealand as well? No, no, it's been around for a while.
Starting point is 00:02:46 They shortened the skirt since I've been there. Which upsets you. Yeah, I don't know. Those skanks. Those private school skanks. Next on the show, if you have, apparently if you have this one item in your house, it means you're well off. Oh, you're a bit to do, eh? You're a bit posh, you're a bit rich.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Okay. Which is surprising because I think a lot of people would have this one thing. Well, maybe a lot of people are rich and we just don't know it. Well, if you've got this one thing in your house, apparently you're well off.
Starting point is 00:03:21 You're wealthy. Give it to me. Is it a double dish drawer? No. Double dishwasher? No. Is it a double dish drawer? No. Double dishwasher? No. Oh, like two dishwashers.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Is it butler's pantry? No. A marble staircase. Shit, I mean, that's a good sign. You're definitely rich if you have it. Indoor, outdoor pool. Like it starts indoors, but it ends up. Oh, see, that's rich. Slide from the third floor to that.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah, lift. Lift. Oh, my God. When people have a lift. I was in an Airbnb and it had a lift. My godfather's got a lift in his house. That's outrageous. Our friend's kid cut her finger off in a lift in that Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Don't F around in there. Yeah, no, you don't complain around. No, it's a bookcase. Bookshelves. Right. I'm not allowed a bookshelf. It's not the aesthetic. But you've got kind of in your lounge, you've got shelves, large shelves.
Starting point is 00:04:11 But you can't stack those books. No, for fall off the wall. That's for knickknacks and sort of. Knickknacks and paddywhacks. It's a knickknack shelf. Yeah. Too hard to clean, that's the reason. And they are.
Starting point is 00:04:21 They gather dust. They're a real bastard. Yeah, they are. Well, the hashtag bookshelf wealth is going viral on TikTok and it is apparently because it makes your home cosy
Starting point is 00:04:34 and well lived in and you look wealthy if you've got a bookshelf full of books. Full of books. That's where I reckon the wealth comes in. As someone who's recently gone back into reading, every book is at least $27. They say you don't even need to have bought all the books. You go to like an op shop and you just buy rubbish books
Starting point is 00:04:52 that you're never going to read. Cool colours, right size. Right size. And then like even old Nat Geo magazines. And just chuck them in. And it just makes your home look cosy and well lived in it. It makes you look smarter as well. It makes you look way smarter.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Because if you would be the most smarter you'd have lots of books, wouldn't you? Sometimes old Nat Geo magazines had boobies in them too. Did they? Yeah, like. Do you mean like African like tribal boobies? Yeah. Right. And those ears with the big things in them. Yeah. And the tongues like with the. Yeah. Yeahobies. Yeah. Right. And those ears with the big things in them.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah. And the tongues, like, with the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's ticking your boxes, isn't it? No, no, not... Well, obviously, Vaughan's. Right, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Not mine. I just always thought it was wild. You could be at the doctor's or the dentist's and waiting in the magazine. And there's a magazine you could be reading it. You're like, oh, my goodness me, boobies. Boobies. Young Vaughan's waiting to see the doctor. oh my goodness me, boobies. Boobies. Young borns waiting to see the doctor.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah. Some African tribal boobies. Why not, you know? Apparently as well, another thing that people are doing is in front of bookshelves is just leaving big art pieces in front of them as well.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Yes, I've seen this. Not even hung on the wall. You're leaning paintings. Yes, you lean them against the walls. I've been toying with this idea. Yeah, apparently that is also another sign that you're well-to-do. You wouldn't even hang your, sign you're lazy. And you can't find a stud to hang your paintings on.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah. You're waiting to hang it one day. Yeah. But apparently that's also a new trend is just, yeah, leaving art on the floor, leaning against the wall. I've been toying with that idea because we've got all of our art out of storage now ready to sort of find homes. And I was like, maybe I'll try one of these little leans.
Starting point is 00:06:27 But then some people are going to come around to your house and be like, she still hasn't put it up. Yeah, no, hang it. Especially if there's a really obvious place for it to go. But I feel like this kind of works with apartments that are like jam packed with things. Maximalist. Yeah. Yeah, I get that kind of junky aesthetic. I'd like that.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Aaron needs a bit of space. He's a big man, you know, he gets a bit. Yeah. Yeah, I get that kind of junky aesthetic. I like that. Aaron needs a bit of space. He's a big man, you know. He gets a bit overwhelmed by all my stuff. Eleven past six. Okay, next we're going to dive into the world of pubes. Pubic hair preferences.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I don't mind diving into pubes. Oh, good for you, man. My man. Sitting across from me you, man. My man. Sitting across from me, my man. They did a study looking at preferred pubic hairstyles. Okay. We'll dive into that next. We'll touch on that next. No, we'll touch on that next.
Starting point is 00:07:17 No, don't touch it. We're diving. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I have before me a sort of a collated list of studies all looking at attractiveness of the male genitalia. Right. How did you stumble upon this? I have my ways.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I have my websites. You've got Google News alerts? Yes, I do. So we're just talking peni. We're just talking the peni. The vulva was not involved in this study. So I'm going to share with you two that I enjoyed. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Would you be able to perhaps share this link with me so I might get a, is there a visual accompaniment? No visual, my hon. Just description. Well, I look forward to engaging in some theatre of the mind with you. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:08:09 I'm going to imagine my penis with all these haircuts. Well, it's not quite, because I thought as well they were going to be like, the love heart. Yeah. The runway strip.
Starting point is 00:08:20 The strip, yeah. Do dudes ever get the strip? Exactly. Because we're not looking at the vulva in which we get a little bit vajazzled sometimes. Yeah. I would like to see a vajazzled penis. Oh, bedazzled.
Starting point is 00:08:33 There's not really a penis. Pendazzled. Yeah. Pendazzled. Oh, that doesn't have a ring to it, I reckon. They basically looked at, they showed a group of people. Yeah. 80% of whom were women.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yeah. 27, I believe. Dudes who love it. 24 pictures of penises and were asked to rate the attractiveness of the penis and the perception of the person with the penis. Did they report back to the models that they use? Because imagine finding out in a group. This is like early 2000s hot or not where you'd put your best photo on
Starting point is 00:09:06 but you'd still only get six. Devastating. Devastating. So 24 pictures of penises and they were asked to rate them based on their length, their girth and the amount of pubes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And they had to do it on a scale of one to seven. So we're getting the perfect penis with accompanying hairstyle. Okay. So they're getting the perfect plan is with accompanying hairstyle. Okay. So they were asked on attractiveness. And then the second question was whether they looked like they were good in bed, a pleaser, or a pillow princess. Wait, did they only show...
Starting point is 00:09:36 Just lays there, doesn't do anything. Right. Did they only show like the genital or did they show who it was attached to? No, no. Because you'd have bias, right? Also, the scale of one to seven is a weird scale. I know, one to seven. One to ten or one to five.
Starting point is 00:09:49 So basically from this, it's so unsurprising, is the bigger it is, the higher it ranked. The girthier it was, the higher it ranked. What about those ones that you hear about that are just too big, though? Like that wind, yeah. Those infamous, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like they just knocked the wind out of you.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Yeah. No, that didn't, I don't know if they were any involved in this. That would knock the wind out of you. Okay. So the bigger, the more of the willy there was, the more attractive it was rated,
Starting point is 00:10:16 but the less of the pubes, the more it was attractive. So even if you don't, you're best to have less pubes. Are we talking a shaved pubes or are we talking a clipped pubes? They're trimmed. Trimmed or no. Trimmed or no.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Trimmed or no pubic hair. Those with long pubic hair, it was described as long, using their words from the study. Long pubic hair was seen as less agreeable, less open to new experiences and most likely to have the smallest number of sexual partners compared to men with trimmed or no pubic hair. Right. Okay. No pubic hair. I was, and I do apologise for assuming this woman, but I have talked to some friends
Starting point is 00:10:54 and they're like, it freaks them out with no pubic hair. When it's absolutely all gone, it is a shock. Yeah. For me personally, my personal preference, a trimmed limb. A trimmed limb. I don't think we need to be calling it tight. Shave the balls. Can we speak freely here?
Starting point is 00:11:07 Permission to speak freely? Well, can I get into the next study and then we can talk about the balls? Please do, yes. The next study, separate group, whole new study, did a questionnaire with 2,000 people in it. Okay. That you wanted to rate four different scrotums. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:26 To come from this, it was 56.7% women. The rest of them were men. Or looked at these four scrotums, had to rank them from negative three to positive three. What? A perfectly neutral scrotum would be zero. What if you've got a negative three scrotum? Yeah, that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Oh, no, sorry. Not four scrotums, 36 scrotums, they looked at. I was going to say, four's not a bigger sample size. Now, none of them were rated attractive. Not a single scrotum. Not a single one. So, in the end,
Starting point is 00:11:59 it was impossible to identify a beautiful scrotum. Yep. It was instead about which one was the least ugly. Now, did they mention anything about hair? No, in this one, they didn't mention the hair. Right, okay. Now we can return to the- If you've got one of those Sphinx cats,
Starting point is 00:12:13 you must like a scrotum, I reckon. Yeah. Because they look like a cat scrotum. They do the whole thing. Nothing against the scrotum. It's just not the most attractive part of the body. No, but it's not the focal point, really, is it? No, it's not. It's not. Though, but it's not the focal point really, is it? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It's not. Though, shame on you. You should get involved. You know? Don't ignore it. It's there. Don't ignore it. Wait, so what made a good scrotum?
Starting point is 00:12:34 Well, at least a good scrotum. Nothing. What made... They were literally all ugly. But I want to know the criteria of a neutral scrotum. You can't cover it in hair because refer to study one. You know, exactly. Shave the scrotum though You can't cover it in hair because refer to study one. You know, exactly. Shave the scrotum though.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Do they have different touch on hair? I don't have the information before me, but give it a... Because I've never consulted anybody, but shave the scrotum, clip the pubes, as the old Bible verse says. I don't know if that's in the Bible. I think it is. I don't know if it is.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's John 15. Yeah, Rodney 714. Rodney Wayne 714. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show the balls, clip the pubes. Said unto the Lord. I reckon whack that on a T-shirt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Or a bumper sticker. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello there. School is going to be back in session in the next few weeks. That's gone quick.
Starting point is 00:13:34 That's good. I've had to look after children. Well, they're my children. It's not like I've had to look after them. They are my children. But, yeah, it doesn't feel like the school holidays have been that long. As they draw to a close, stationary list ordered yesterday. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:49 August wanted all new stationary. And then we went into her room and checked. Still had all of her stationary from last year. She was very upset. This last year's stationary. You think you've got money to throw around willy-nilly on glue sticks when you've already got glue sticks? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:05 God, stationery was always fun, though. It was. I used to love it. It would turn up, you'd be like, ooh. My dad could Duracell. Yeah. Oh, my dad could Duracell. You'd wait till dad had finished milking and he'd get home

Starting point is 00:19:29 and the B stands for blonde in this situation. Yeah, blonde one and blonde two. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, B1? Well, they're not smiling, so I'm going to stop. Well, we make this joke because people in the office, in the workplace, he'd confuse them. Yeah, every now and then Shannon gets a hello, Carwen, and Carwen gets a hello, Shannon. Which is
Starting point is 00:19:45 funny because we've both been here for like over four, I'm at four years, you're what, five and a bit. And Carwen's a lot more superior than I am. Thank you for acknowledging that. Carwen was biting her tongue, I could see it. She was like, we're not the same, bitch, get in line. Shannon, you want to share with us
Starting point is 00:20:02 a theory? Should we call it a theory? Yeah, I've got a money-saving idea. Oh, okay. It's not that one, the girl with the coffee pods. No. Where she's like, here's how to save money. It's basically shoplifting coffee pods. I mean, it's saving money.
Starting point is 00:20:15 She didn't lie. Yeah, she was right. She didn't lie, but it's a crime. No, this one's a bit better, I think. Basically, if you're wanting to buy a new product or an item, so let's say you want some new pants. You're like, my current jeans aren't doing it for me. I don't have any jeans at the moment.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Well, no. I've given up on jeans. Can we talk about, I think jeans are done. No, they're not. Are they not? I think they'll always be a fashion staple. I was trying to rule them out. They're not for me.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Well, if you've got a pair of pants and they're not really working for you, you want to go buy a new pair of pants for winter, right? Yes, I do. Could be a hundred bucks, we're talking. At least. Well, now I've got a money saving tip for you. It's called the $9 rule. Now wait, does this $9 rule work for anything? Anything. It could be appliances. It could be everything you own. Okay. You think, can I upgrade this to feel like a better product for $9? And a lot of the time you can. So maybe those pants.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Why $9? Bedazzling. We talked about bedazzling before, but you could put some diamantes on them. So you're not saying just find the better version for $9. You're going to do something to it to make it better. So if you were like, oh, my jeans button's a bit wonky, go to Spotlight, get a new button. Or, oh, my couch is a bit raggedy, oh, could you...
Starting point is 00:21:27 My couch is raggedy. Could you borrow Vaughan's Bissell? There you go. That's free. And pay him $9. No, you don't need to pay me. I'm happy to lend the Bissell. You let me pay you $9?
Starting point is 00:21:35 No, mine can't scratch my couch. You're a bitch. That was my bitch. Are you more than a $9? No, but maybe I could buy a $9 throw rather than a new couch. Bingo. And so it's just kind of a mindset of change when you immediately just think,
Starting point is 00:21:48 I'm going to buy something new. Go, could I upgrade this for $9? What about my hunk of crap car? See, I'm in that boat as well, and I think we're in more than $9 deep. Yeah, air freshener. Oh, my damp, yuck car. Air freshener.
Starting point is 00:22:01 A damp rid, maybe. A bucket of damp rid in the footwell. You'll get two of those, I reckon, on special for... For nine bucks? Yeah. I don't know about nine bucks, ten bucks. But is it $9 because that's magically not $10? Because it feels like you're not spending money
Starting point is 00:22:16 because there's only one number. Yeah, not two. I wondered if that was the absolute root of it. Anything under $10 is basically free, to be fair. Yeah, it's not changing the number in your bank account. Yeah. No, it's not. This is basically how our parents and how boomers live.
Starting point is 00:22:34 They don't replace things. They don't buy new things. They don things. Yeah, you go home and they're still using the same microwave or kettle or appliance. Aaron had these amazing jeans and they were like, you know, it's hard for him to find jeans, very leggy.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah. And he had these great jeans and his mum patched and like put those little, what are those things? The black, the lining thing to reinforce the crotch and all that kind of stuff. He really burnt out the crotch. Yeah. Acidic gooch.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Acidic. Very acidic. Are you saying that Gen Z has just copied a trend that has been going on forever and adopted it for themselves? I'd say the 1940s. But it is worth it. Less waste. Well, yeah, and also, like, we're in a cosy living cry.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Absolutely. Money's tight. That's right. So, yeah, if you can, I don't know, make do with what you've got. Absolutely. And repair it. Do as we say, not as we do.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I have just bought a new dress. I was going to say. Oh yeah, on Friday. Hayley was literally walking out of the shop saying goodbye and then ended up buying a dress. It was quite amazing to witness. It was like a magnet. I was like trying to leave. It got you.
Starting point is 00:23:42 She was like, do you want to try it on? I was like, nah. Pull it back. Oh, you didn't even try it on. I tried it on on a previous day. It got you. It was attractive. She was like, do you want to try it on? I was like, nah. Put it on there. Oh, you didn't even try it on. I tried it on on a previous date. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. But when it breaks, I will be darning it.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Play. Zidim's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fletchvorn and Hayley's silly little pose. Silly little pose. It's older, mum or dad? My mum's older than my dad. My dad's older than mum. What are your parents about the same? Two years apart.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Dad's older. Yep. Two years and two months thereabouts. Yeah, right. Okay. So you'd be in the minority, Hayley. What am I? 22% of people said mum is older than dad.
Starting point is 00:24:37 78% of dads older than mums. Wow. My mum's only, my mum's I think 11 months older than my dad. Right. So only a year apart. I would have thought it would have been closer though. I don't know, never really. Tell you what, do this again in 50 years, wouldn't that be interesting?
Starting point is 00:24:52 Wouldn't it be the same, because we all age at the same tempo. I don't know, but we'll be dead. It'll be the next lot of people. You'll be dead? I'm not going to be dead in 50 years. I'll be 84. Will you still be drinking the same amount? Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You'll still be alive. You'll still be playing with asbestos? Yeah. You know you love your asbestos. I put a little shard in the bin yesterday. I think it was thrown over from the neighbours and I chucked it into the bin. Were they just throwing asbestos in?
Starting point is 00:25:20 I don't know. I found a little panel of what looked like hardy plank, which is not in our house. Right. Yucky. Dealt with that myself. Some text messages. Sorry, some feedback on this.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Jeremy said, Mum should be because men are mature, slower and pass earlier. So he's just saying, so Mum doesn't have to live without Dad for as long, she should marry younger. You want to align up. Yeah. This is true that women do often get left behind.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Oh, a long time, don't they? Yeah. Hayley says, Dad's 10 years older than Mum. Oh, yeah. Aaron's eight years older than me. Yeah. Too bad these days. Hot act.
Starting point is 00:25:58 You know what I mean? Snagged an old guy. You know why, eh? Hayley says, Sophie, men take longer to mature. So generally speaking, women are younger. They seek older men who are actually mentally closer to their age. Right. But then they get less. Shots are being fired. Are you hearing this?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Yeah, I am. Shots are. I mean, but it's true, isn't it? It is true. Yeah, it is true. We're just men. You're just silly men. Caitlin says, my mum's older than my dad. I'm older than my partner and my sister is older than her partner. Just a bunch of cougars over here. Dramatic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Good. Get it. Get it. A bunch of cougars. Get it. My mum is four years older than my dad. It's always been an anomaly when you tell people that your mum's older than your dad. They're always surprised, but never around the other way.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Yeah, why is Rebecca? Yeah. Helen says my dad was 20 years older than my mum. Okay. The question is, when did they meet? My mum was 36 and my dad was 19. Says Kristen. It's legal.
Starting point is 00:26:59 It's legal. Oh, absolutely. Dad loved a cougar. Sheepers? And a creepers. That's got university lecturer written all over it. Yeah, it does. It does. It's got uni, first year out of uni.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Or tradie. Tradie sleeping with... Oh, that's hot. Apprentice tradie sleeping with the boss's wife who does the accounts. Have you been looking at my web browser? Of course, mate. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:27:19 That's some... Oh, look. Some stuff says university. Sleeping with... Oh, that's hot. Apprentice tradie sleeping with the boss's wife who does the accounts. Have you been looking at my web browser? Of course, mate.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Yep. Yep, that's some... Oh, look, some stuff's universally hot. That's Silly Little Pole. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. This is... I think this was aimed at young... Well, couples with young kids.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Right. Like babies and whatnot. And this woman shared online, her name is Rachel, she was saying like they'd go, they'd put their kid to bed and then they'd kind of have this like three hours of just like nothing. No connection, nothing productive. You're tired. Yeah, and
Starting point is 00:27:56 just sort of like it just rolled into this malaise and go to bed. That would just be a lot of couples, wouldn't they? At the end everybody comes home from work and then they have dinner and then they're just like, ugh. Kids to bed and then you're like, God, I don't know. Even without kids, you'd just be like shattered from a long day. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:11 So they kind of constructed a bit of structure, shall we say, around their evening times to make the most of it. It's called the three-hour night. Okay. And it begins once the kid's in bed. They've got one kid. So, you know, if you've got more kids, it's probably more difficult. If you've got older kids,
Starting point is 00:28:25 they go to bed later. You probably don't have three hours remaining. I go to bed before my kids now. Yeah. See you later. I'm school, because it's school holidays at the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yeah, totally. So she would say, say it started at seven o'clock. You divvy up seven till 10. So they're like, kids that bed at seven, they're going to bed at 10. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:41 You divvy up the three hours into hour long sections so she would say the first section is where you would do something it's called productive time so you're going to do your chores you're going to do a bit of a whip around
Starting point is 00:28:56 get lunches ready for tomorrow organise the bedroom that kind of thing or other random things like sharpen the knives. God, we sharpen our knives. Sharpen the knives. They're so sharp. Cut a tomato.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Did you get one of those? A whetstone? No, we don't have a whetstone. Did you get one of those things from the infomercial? It's like this. Yeah. It's like an X thing and you run your knife through it. It works.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Yeah, okay. Enough. I think I need one of those. Yeah, it's quite good. I can bring mine in and you can sharpen your knives. Actually, think about the environment. There's no need, us both having knife sharpeners. Okay, quite good. I can bring mine in and you can sharpen your knives. Actually, think about the environment. There's no need us both having knife sharpeners. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Thank you. I'll bring mine in and you can use it. You could have a communal knife sharpener. Mine is sharp. Well, it's not communal. I said Fletch could use it. Whoa. Yeah, because he's got too many knives.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Too many. You're going to blunt my sharpener. And then what use is it to me? I've got a whetstone. But that's all about the angle and the rhythm. Yeah, right. That's like something a granddad does. Yeah, that's too much the angle and the rhythm. Yeah, right. That's like something a granddad does. Yeah, that's too much.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It's too involved. It's too much. With this, you just go, and then you can start cooking dinner. So they're sharpening their knives in the first hour, right? They're doing productive things, household productive chores. Right, so maybe a bit of that, whatever it is. Okay. Yeah, now the second hour, this is where it's-
Starting point is 00:30:00 I'm sorry, but that's a whole episode of a show. Just saying. Okay, yeah, well, that's coming. So the second hour is geared towards each other, re-establishing a physical or emotional... That's getting down. Yeah. This is where you...
Starting point is 00:30:12 It's bang o'clock. You go to grab the butt and she's like, no. And you're like, come on, this is what this hour's for. Yeah, I'm not in the mood. I have a headache. It's not sexy to schedule that. Well, no, it's a cuddle. It's not sexy to schedule that. It's not only that. Phones go away and they focus on enjoying one
Starting point is 00:30:29 another. However they want to do that. Could be having a shower together, having a little fun, bit of a cuddle on the couch, playing a game together, talking, debriefing the day, just whatever it looks like. Whatever it looks like for that couple. You're going to connect, strengthen and build your marriage.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Okay. Okay. That sounds a bit Christian, eh? It's giving, I'm going to say it. It's giving Christian. Yeah, okay. Lastly, the final hour of the night is, it's like a bit of me time. It's solo.
Starting point is 00:30:58 So you can do anything that you want to do individually, and I can do anything that I want to do individually. We're allowed to do it together as long as we both want to. Okay. And it's a judgment free time. Could I go paraponting or do I have to stay at home? You can do paraponting. You can do whatever you want. It's your hour. I don't know if I'd want to parapon so close to bed. 9pm to 10pm. You'll be all jazzed up. You'll struggle
Starting point is 00:31:15 to get to sleep because your adrenaline's from the paraponting. It's too much. So it's judgment free meaning that if you wanted to use your hour to just lay on the couch, scroll your phone on TikTok or whatever, or watch a movie or TV, you're allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Okay. Now, if Vaughn wanted to do an hour of his TikTok lives, which he got into last year. Yeah, but I told you guys, I'm off TikTok lives. What about, could you get back into your farming simulator? Are you over that?
Starting point is 00:31:44 Oh, I've got video games that need to be played. Okay. So you could do that and Sade couldn't look at you and be like, you steaming pile of useless waste. Because that's my hour.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah, because that's your hour. To be honest, I'm going to get to that end of that hour. I'm not going to have achieved enough. I'm going to need another hour. Well, you can have another hour.
Starting point is 00:31:58 You're just going to be late. And it's nine o'clock and I'm playing video games and I should definitely be in bed. Yeah. Well, she was saying because a lot of people were commenting, being like, is this really realistic?
Starting point is 00:32:08 She's like, you don't have to do it every night, but, you know, like a couple of times a week if you implement the three-hour night. Mine looks slightly different. Mine's like TV time in the first hour, TV time with wine in the second hour, and then just wine on wine in the third hour and then sort of
Starting point is 00:32:26 wake up early. And then you've got to have a wine at nine. And then because of the wine there's a fourth and fifth hour. There's a fourth and fifth hour. And then you come to work the next day and you're like
Starting point is 00:32:33 oh I didn't get to bed till 11. Now it's midnight and I'm like oh God. But however you want to implement it there you go if you need a little structure
Starting point is 00:32:39 in your evening. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. It's 19. I laughed too hard and I've got light headed We've just come up with A really good podcast idea

Starting point is 00:33:29 What happened with your car last time? Remind us. It's been flooded, hasn't it? Yeah, there's had about a lot of water in it. About 50 litres. But then I had a bunch of lights going on. But I got the lights turned off. But that was because of the flooding. What did you call the lights on the dashboard? I initially called them emojis.
Starting point is 00:33:44 The car emojis. called them emojis. The car emojis. The dashboard emojis. So I had some lights and then there was some oil on the ground. But it was going good the last month or so. Yeah. No dramas. That's good.
Starting point is 00:33:58 My woof was due. Wait, and you sorted the oil thing, eh? Yes, yes, yes. But there was nothing wrong with it? It needed some. It needed a little fix in. Huh? A what? He gave it like an oil change and he needed to like.
Starting point is 00:34:11 No. I don't know what that noise is. Are you not listening? Okay. It's the girl math and mechanics. It's just like explaining the noise. Give a bit of a. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:21 But anyway, so she's been running real good. My wafer's due. Normally, I'll leave it a bit. Like, I feel like you've got a month buffer after your waffs well you don't know tomorrow you your insurance is not valid without a warrant of fitness or registration when i thought like that previously i was always driving to work illegally because i didn't have my phone so i was never insured. Yeah, it doesn't matter,
Starting point is 00:34:46 does it? It didn't really matter. But now I've got my full licence, I was like, I'm going to get my WAF early. Can I just pause? Did Fletch give you $100? Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:55 He transferred it straight away. I'm a man of my word. Fletch said he would give Shannon $100 if she went and got her full licence because she'd taken so long to do it. And I didn't honestly
Starting point is 00:35:04 ever think she would do it. And then she turned up with a little bit of paper and he was... It was an incredible incentive because it really got you to do it,
Starting point is 00:35:13 didn't it? You said it and I booked it that day in the nearest time I could get it. I honestly thought she was so useless she would never...
Starting point is 00:35:20 It was very motivating. And then I couldn't not give her money otherwise I'd never hear the end of it. It was the week. And then I couldn't not give her money. Otherwise, I'd never hear the end of it. No, I know. It was the week before Christmas, and it was good. Yeah, it was good.
Starting point is 00:35:27 It was good timing. But yeah, so I got my waft early. I did charity. Yeah, kind of. Let's not call lovely Shannon a charity case. Oh, no, I'll take it. Okay, well, she'll take it. We'll take any charity.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Okay, so you got your full licence. You were able to be insured, but your car was going okay. Yes, and so I was like, I'll get the wharf early. How good. Proud of myself. Took it to the mechanic. Dropped it there. I was like, this is going to be a breeze.
Starting point is 00:35:50 No lights on. No nothing's wrong with it for the first time in years. Except it is a used European car. Yes. Here we go. Dot, dot, dot. He calls me not even 20 minutes later and he's like, how have you been driving this? He's like, I drove it 20 meters and immediately pulled over
Starting point is 00:36:08 and got someone to come get me. He's like, you have no wheel bearing. It is the loudest noise ever. He's like, it is a whirring. He's like, you could have caused a major crash, totaled your car, totaled someone else's. He's like, this is one of the most severe things I've ever seen. How did you not notice?
Starting point is 00:36:24 How far do you drive to work every day? Oh, heaps. I go round, I go to the mall, I go everywhere. Oh my gosh. And he just kept saying, how did you not notice? And I said, well, I like music in the car. I listen to the radio. And he said.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Did he say ZM? Yeah, of course. Thank you. Because I'm listening to ZM laugh and I'm laughing out loud. I was laughing out so loud. Drowning out the grinding of the metal. You did tell us last week you had a noise.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Well, there's always a noise because it's a diesel car. So I always just... Why is it a diesel as well? It's a small car. It's so bizarre to me. It's a turbo as well. Oh my god. That's just because it's a diesel. Because everyone always comments on it.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Anytime I drive somewhere, everyone's like, Jesus, your car is loud. And I'm like, yeah, because it's a little tractor. Oh, my God. So it's because it's been broken. Turns out, yeah, it's super, super broken. And he said, because then I was like, can I come get it? Because he's like, I'm going to have to get all these parts. He's like, no, Hon, this is completely undriveable. Okay. And he's like, I'm going to have to get all these parts. He's like, no, hon, this is completely undriveable.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Okay. And he's like, I'm going to have to keep this. So I was stuck in East Auckland all weekend, no car. So he's like, he breathed all yellow stuff in. Do you know what I mean? It's the worst. It's the worst cardinal direction. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:35 And the Skytower looks real small there. I get scared. It's bizarre. I know. And my mum had to wake up at 4am to get me to work this morning. Oh, no, hon. I've got someone taking me back home. And I'm just hoping this mechanic fixes it. Also, is this going to cost a lot of money? I don't got morning. Oh, no. I've got someone taking me back home and I'm just hoping this mechanic fixes it.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Also, is this going to cost a lot of money? I don't got it. I just Googled wheel bearing. But you've got insurance, right? Insurance wouldn't cover this. Yeah. It might cover something else. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Oh. No, no. It's too late now. Jesus. Did you just jump in the deep end of the insurance for a point? Yeah, yeah. She's just talked about this and then she's going to ring it. Hi, my car's just
Starting point is 00:38:07 Let's pad up Shannon and we'll get her to drive into a tree. I don't think she could do that. Well pad her up. He also said I need two new tyres. Now I've never bought tyres before. Oh my god. You are probably better just to buy a new car. Like a second hand, a nice
Starting point is 00:38:23 get a little aqua. I don't got no money. A little sensible car. Hon to buy a new car. Like a secondhand, a nice, get a little aqua. I don't got no money. A little sensible car. Yeah, but Hon, you need a car. Well, I was just thinking of asking him if he wanted beers again because last time I did. That's right. This feels like more than a dozen beers.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Beers and boobs, mate. That's the mechanics currency right there. Beers and boobs. Yeah, we might have to get the pins out, Hon. Get the pins out. Not above that at all. No, I know she's not. Okay, we've had some feedback online on one of our videos
Starting point is 00:38:56 about the way that we say a certain word. Now, why were we talking about massages? We were talking about massage because Shannon is trying We were talking about smut That's right So it's me, it's a review in the way that I say it Oh my gosh, well I never
Starting point is 00:39:17 I said the word massage because the character in my book was giving the male character a massage How are you supposed to say it? Massage, because the character in my book was giving the male character a massage. That's right. How are you supposed to say it? Massage. Massage.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Massage. Message. Massage. Massage. Massage. Is it because they say massage? Well, we learned earlier that Shannon says massage, but massage or massage? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Now I'm getting on my own head about it. When you say a word over and over again, and it sounds so weird. Over and over. So these comments were from American viewers on TikTok? I think so, because one person said, wait, I never heard massage said like message. You know, I think it's the thinking, like I'm saying massage, massage.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Massage. I'll send you a message. Not a native English speaker but I love it. Another person said the way New Zealanders say massage haha yep. Laugh face. Why does the New Zealand accent make it funny? Do you know when I went to drama school I got told by
Starting point is 00:40:17 one of the acting coaches there that I talk too much like a private school girl and I need to loosen up. But you were a private school girl. I know that's what I said to them. So would you say things like, what a precious moment? No, not at all. I think that I do just talk with a lot of clarity and that... How about that?
Starting point is 00:40:36 Clarity. Clarity. And that that was almost too much. My enunciation is near perfect. Near perfect. And so I remember I had it in my head that I was like And now I say massage, funny Okay, turn up mine
Starting point is 00:40:50 I got, this is on Google This is American pronunciation How to say massage Massage Massage Massage So they say massage, not massage So they're hitting sarge and not the mass
Starting point is 00:41:02 Hold on, I'll go to British pronunciation Massage Massage pronunciation. Massage. Massage. Massage. Massage. That sounds posh. So we are staying at more British. British.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Turn your volume up. Come on, Dad. Massage. Massage. Massage. That's American. So that's the American. That's American, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:18 She's British. Massage. Massage. Massage. Well, because we do have quite a big American following. Massage. But yeah, then it's our accent makes it Massage I love it when you slow it down
Starting point is 00:41:29 What's the word if you slow it down That's going around on TikTok at the moment Oh no that's dumb I've just opened up a can of worms I can't eat It's like I don't know if that's not the same And when it slows it down The the woman's voice goes all funny. Oh, damn it.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I also just coined a phrase. God, I've opened up a can of worms I can't eat. Anyway, I'm going to work on my pronunciation for the next time. No, no, this is our English though, isn't it? Somebody has messaged in, their biggest problem with the show is when we say hon. It's hon. Honey is pronounced honey, so it's hon.
Starting point is 00:42:05 No, no, no, but hon is the passive-aggressive version of hum. Yeah. Okay, hon. It's disapproving you're looking down on someone when you say hon. Yeah. Oh, hon. Lots of people say that to me. Why are you saying hon like that?
Starting point is 00:42:18 I just started saying it because you guys said it, and I want to be part of the cool kids club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not really a term of endearment. No. As if you were to call someone hun. What a little hun, you'd say. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:28 But if you're like, oh, well done, hun. It's a little bit. Yeah, it's bloody hell, it's patronising, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Hun. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Remember when your brother had a United,
Starting point is 00:42:43 used your United Video membership? No, it was Blockbuster. Blockbuster. It was Blockbuster. Did you have a Blockbuster in New Plymouth? Of course we did. You're a fancy. We had United, Civic and Video Easy.
Starting point is 00:42:54 It's one of the greatest cities in New Zealand. Of course we had a Blockbuster. We used to laugh at you and now I absolutely agree and I'd be quite happy if the three of us all moved there. Yeah, it's a lovely place. Lived in a communal home. Well, what did you get? Did you get called by Baycourt once?
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah, he had an overdue. And then they rang me saying, are you going to pay this? And I said, you what? Haven't lived in New Plymouth for years. And he'd used my card and racked up a late. What did he get out? Wet T-shirt. got very different tastes. 1998.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah, monster. I actually can't remember. It was a new release. Probably like an action film or something. Yeah, you know the new releases, they stung you with the same fine the overnight. It's ongoing. Like it was $8 or $9.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Well, because you get it for one night, so you're just paying each night. $7. Blockbuster's charging $9. $7 overnight. You it for one night, so you're just paying each night. $7. Blockbuster's charging $9. $7 overnight. You had to have it back the same time you took it out. And I just rang him or text him and just let him bloody absolutely have it. And then I think I shut it down so he couldn't do it again.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Shut it down. Very cheeky. Very cheeky. Well, that's nothing. A Dunedin man has collected a raft of charges because he's been caught now, but his brother was in trouble for including, but not limited to, drink driving. Okay. How?
Starting point is 00:44:09 This 30-year-old would just be like, oh, yeah, I'm Stephen, but not. Stephen was his brother. No. Okay, that's a big jump from just telling mum that Stephen ate the biscuits when you ate the biscuits. I know. And so if they don't have your licence,
Starting point is 00:44:24 if you don't have your license on you, of course, that's a ticket. That's a fine in itself, but they can look it up and if you look similar to the photos
Starting point is 00:44:30 and your brothers, you know, you're not going to chance someone looking any more similar than you and your siblings. Then they can look and be like,
Starting point is 00:44:37 oh yeah, that's them. That's what they look like. That's the person in the car up there. I suppose so. Yeah, so he was,
Starting point is 00:44:43 he got his brother in a whole lot of trouble, but now the brother's just like, he, the shaggy defense I suppose so. Yeah, so he was, he got his brother in a whole lot of trouble, but now the brother's just like, the shaggy defence, it wasn't me, and it wasn't. Did the brothers get on? Because if you get on with your brother, you wouldn't do that to them, right? No, they must not. They must not. Yeah, okay, yeah. I was just going to say, well, one brother's just the total loser. But then, of course, the other brother would be not getting on with him very well now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yeah, because he gave me a criminal record. After he got into all this trouble. Yeah, exactly. It's been rectified. But we want to know when your siblings dropped you in it this morning. Yeah, well. Maybe on a lesser scale. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Or maybe on a bigger scale. Who knows? Maybe they ticked up some dead in your name. Yeah. Or got you in trouble with mum and dad. I think he said ticked up some dead. Some dead. Like they ticked up some dead in your name or got you in trouble with mum and dad. I think he said ticked up some dead. Some dead. Like they ticked up
Starting point is 00:45:27 a few dead people in your name. You're like, what, like a murderer? I mean, Gareth Bin Laden, for example. He was out there
Starting point is 00:45:32 just minding his own business, wasn't he? Yeah, he was. And then Osama's like, my name's Gareth, I'm not going to do the accent. My name's Gareth. Dude, you should do the accent.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Oh, Gareth Bin Laden or Osama Bin Laden? Because Gareth's really toned his down. Has he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Poor Gareth. Good guy. Great guy, Gareth Bin Laden? Or Osama bin Laden? Because Gareth really toned his down. Has he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Gareth, good guy. Great guy, Gareth bin Laden.
Starting point is 00:45:49 A pure soul. Yeah. Great guy. His brother, hell yeah. Hell of a ping pong player. Yeah, I know. Really, Gareth? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I was just way around a racket. Yeah, good, okay. That's where he put his focuses. Has he got into pickleball? Has he got into the pickleball race? He has got into pickleball. Oh, I want to try pickleball. We should do pickleball.
Starting point is 00:46:05 It's embarrassing. I could do a bit of pickleball. It's not want to try pickleball. We should do pickleball. It's embarrassing. I could do a bit of pickleball. It's not embarrassing. It's somewhat embarrassing. No, it's just play padded tennis. The original pickleball. Or play actual tennis. Or play actual tennis.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Or just play padded tennis. Or swing ball bats. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. When did your sibling get you in trouble? Well, you know mine didn't because he loved me very deeply and we were very close. Yeah. We kiss on the mouth and you find that funny. We do find that a little odd. It's a little odd. Although Gareth were very close. Yeah. We kiss on the mouth and you find that funny. We do find that a little odd.
Starting point is 00:46:25 It's a little odd. Although Gareth Bin Laden and Anna Osama did also kiss on the mouth. They were close as brothers despite their differences. But it worked because Gareth didn't have the beard. Yes, he was clean shaven. Yeah, he was a clean shaven boy. Well, a man in Dunedin was pulled over, DUI, gave his brother's name. And now his brother's in trouble.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Yeah. But now he's in trouble for giving his brother's name. So he brother's in trouble. Yeah. But now he's in trouble for giving his brother's name. So he's got another thing to deal with. Yeah. Would that be impersonating something?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Impersonating a brother. Impersonating a brother? Yeah. Right up there with him. Sentence up to 20 years. Impersonating a policeman. Yes. Yeah, impersonating a brother.
Starting point is 00:46:57 So we want to know when a sibling dropped you in it. Yeah. My brother knocked on me to my partner when I cheated on him. I was f it. Yeah. My brother knocked on me to my partner when I cheated on him. I was fuming.
Starting point is 00:47:11 As I was saying, my brother went and told the bloody police that I lit the fire. Wait, so conflicting though. Like, I love my sister-in-law, my brother's partner. And if I knew that my brother had cheated on, no, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:47:23 I'm loyal to my brother. Blood is thicker than whatever she is. Water? Don't call Nina water. She's a lovely woman. Nina's more of a milk. Blood is still thicker than milk, Nina. That's scandalous. You're in a
Starting point is 00:47:37 predicament there. The moral high ground isn't fun. Blind eye. Turn a blind eye. Yeah. Adam, Adam, this happened to you. Your brother got pulled over. Yeah, he had, he'd lost his licence for a few things.
Starting point is 00:47:55 A few things, good Lord. Yeah, and he was driving out to get a haircut and a cop pulled him over and he gave him my name and details and all the rest of it. And the cop goes, oh yep, no worries, I'll go check that out. So he
Starting point is 00:48:13 rings me and he goes, if the police ring, I'm you and you're me. Oh, you don't want to receive that phone call. Yeah, with no contact. Yeah, exactly. And so the cop comes back up to the car window a few minutes later. Yeah, with no contact. Yeah, exactly. And so the cop comes back up to the car window a few minutes later and goes, oh, no, that all checks out.
Starting point is 00:48:31 That's all good. And then he pulls out his little iPad and he goes, can you tell me who this guy is, though? And it was his mugshot from a few years earlier. Oh, my. Yes. God, I like a sense of humor on a cop. Do you think the police computer shows, like, when they look up you,
Starting point is 00:48:48 they're like, but his brother's a ratbag. Do you reckon they should? Because the police computer, I reckon, has got a lot of stuff in it that we don't know about. Do you reckon? Yeah, I don't know. They must do. And so what did he get in trouble for?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Well, the cop goes, how about you tell me who you really are? And I don't actually think he got anything for it. The cop sort of had a lot. It was actually, my brother was a bit of a rat bag at the time, and he'd been pulled over by the same cop, probably six or seven common. What? Adam! Amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Look, we love our family, though, don't we? You know, we just, you've got to love them. Yeah, even if they are ratbags. Adam, thank you. Keep your texts coming in, 9696. We'll get to more of your calls and texts next. We're talking about when your sibling dropped you in it because someone pretended to be their brother
Starting point is 00:49:37 when they were getting DUI'd. Like that's dropping your brother in it. It really is. Amber, what did your brother do? Hi I have two brothers And it was New Years And on a tie you obviously can't
Starting point is 00:49:54 Drink when you walk in the streets And my little brother Was 16 or 17 so under 8 And he got caught so he already knew He was going to be in trouble for drinking. Yeah. And I was like, well, you know, I'm going to get in trouble for being under age.
Starting point is 00:50:10 So he gave my older brother's birthday. And my older brother had a, like, shaved head in his photo. So the cops just kind of were like, oh, whatever, it must be the same. Yeah. However, later that night, my older brother got in a fight in Whangamata and got arrested. Look at ourselves, a family of ratbags. Emma, are you a ratbag? And was the cop just like...
Starting point is 00:50:32 No, I'm the good one. Right, was the cop like, wait, we already arrested you? Yeah, and then my brother was even firing up more and he was like, you're lying. Like, I haven't been. And then later the next day it all came out and he was like oh my god they were actually telling the truth
Starting point is 00:50:46 and I was racking up even more oh my god how were your parents when they found out that both of your brothers were in trouble um
Starting point is 00:50:54 they were kind of like it was just like little stuff but my little brother did have to pay the fine himself so um
Starting point is 00:51:01 but yeah I think they were just like let's not go back to Whangamata. One and done, I reckon. And have they been in trouble since? No. They've cleaned up their ways.
Starting point is 00:51:13 It was a learning. Amber, thank you. Messages in. At 15, I borrowed my sister's passport to go to town. Small town. People knew I wasn't 18. Someone ratted me and the police showed up to the clubs and confiscated my passport. Her passport. Her passport, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I had to go to the cop shop with mum. Luckily, they gave the passport back. I got a stern telling off, but my sister has no idea about this to this day. Oh, even mum kept it from her. Jesus. Mum kept it. Mum. My oldest brother was moving to Perth for a job.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Thank God. Sounds like one of your older brothers. We love our families. Speeding down the motorway, the cop pulled him over. He was short on demerits and if he got fined, he would have lost his licence and then he would have been able to move to Perth because of a criminal charge. Yeah. So my other brother switched seats with him while the car was still in motion.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Oh. What? They must see that. Unless they had louvers from the 80s. Oh, you love louvers on the back of a Ford Falcon. I was a little bit window yesterday. Let's bring back louvers.
Starting point is 00:52:07 So good. I saw a bit of louvers at the QMU car show. Yes. Is that what was happening? The old Holden Commodores. Oh, we were driving around in all those
Starting point is 00:52:14 vintage cars. And I was like, oh gosh. Beautiful. So my brother switched seats with him while driving and took the fine for him.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Let's just say we all really wanted my brother to get out of the country. Wow. Even enough to get some demerit points in a fine. Got pulled over for speeding on the way to work one morning. Ended up getting arrested on the spot for an outstanding warrant
Starting point is 00:52:32 from three years before for shoplifting in a city that I hadn't been to in 10 years. Rung my little sister who swore black and blue it wasn't her. I get to the station to face my charges and her face is smiling back at me in the mug shot. Oh, my God. That is wild. She had given my information
Starting point is 00:52:50 when she got arrested for shoplifting and then skipped out. Oh my God, that's incredible. Yeah. That is... How do you bring that up at Christmas? Like, hey, I went to the cops. I got big trouble.
Starting point is 00:53:03 I want to know what happened with the sister. She would have ended up getting in trouble. No, so I actually committed a crime because I ended up signing a document saying I had no idea who she was. Oh, okay. So she- I would have 100% thrown that little sister
Starting point is 00:53:16 straight under the bus. Oh, so you've committed the crime saying I don't know who that is. Yeah. Protecting your sister. Yeah. Which is dumb because surely they've got her fingerprints too, right?
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah. She's got a wristband and they've got a mugshot. When I was four and a lot more cunning than my family gave me credit for, my sister who was seven told me she would punch my lights out. Punch my lights out. Knowing it would get her in trouble, I innocently went to mum and said,
Starting point is 00:53:43 Mum, do we have Christmas lights or fairy lights in our body? Mum looked so confused and she said, no, of course not. Why do you ask? And she said, well, I'm just wondering how Tess is going to punch my lights out if I don't have lights in my body. That's knocking. I 100% knew exactly what I was doing. I'm 25 today and no one knows that I did that on purpose except for me and now you.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily. Play ZM. I did that on purpose except for me and now you. My dad decided on a whim that he wanted to go to the Foo Fighters. And I saw them like back in 2005. It was my first date with my first boyfriend. We had our first kiss. Wow. At the Foo Fighters? After Foo Fighters, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Yeah, pretty romantic. That didn't last, so did it. Well, it lasted quite a while. Okay. It, pretty romantic. That didn't last, though, did it? Well, it lasted quite a while. Okay. For teenagers, we did quite well. What Foo Fighters song did you smooch-a-roo to? No, we didn't smooch. It was after the concert.
Starting point is 00:54:33 We went back to Karori at my friend's house and pashed in the driveway. Pashed in the driveway. Everyone's had a driveway pash. Yeah, had a little pash in the driveway. You had a little pash in the driveway? You had a little pash in the driveway? Yeah, you could have a little pash in the driveway when someone's leaving. Everyone's pashed in the driveway. Pash'd in the driveway. Everyone's had a driveway, Pash. Yeah, a little Pash in the driveway. A little Pash in the driveway. A little Pash in the driveway. Yeah, you could have a little Pash in the driveway
Starting point is 00:54:48 when someone's leaving. Yeah, everyone's had a little Pash in the driveway. Oh, that was cute, man. Good times. Anyway, so my dad texted me on Monday and was like, should we go? And I was like, yeah, let's go. So we drove up and we got tickets.
Starting point is 00:54:59 We got amazing tickets. Well done, Patsy. And it was a great show. It was amazing. Yeah, and Jack Black popped up. Jack Black just came out. At one point, Dave Grohl was like, oh, we can't end a rock concert.
Starting point is 00:55:10 We can't be in a rock concert without playing some ACDC. And everyone was like, wow. And he said, but I'm not going to sing it. And then Jack Black just like tumbles out and sings that we've got big balls. He sang the balls song. Anyway, it was so good Great crowd and everything
Starting point is 00:55:27 Anyway I My dad made a comment About the line to the toilets For the women Always bad for women At malls Concerts
Starting point is 00:55:37 Anything Anything Mount Smart Patakule Yeah Patakule And we looked at it And I was like Jeepers creepers
Starting point is 00:55:43 Didn't need to wee And then a song came on That you know You always gotta wait for a song That you don't love Patakule. Yeah, Patakule. And we looked at it and I was like, jeepers creepers, didn't need to wait. And then a song came on that, you know, you always got to wait for a song that you don't love. And I looked at the... It's always when a band has a new song and you're like, we're not here for this. Yeah. We're here for those songs from like 20 years ago. Yeah, come on. Just play those ones.
Starting point is 00:55:59 And so I made my move to go to the toilet. I was like, I had the set list, which is a bit of a spoiler, but I had the set list on Spotify for their tour. And I looked and I was like, there's a good few songs here that I would happily wee through. So I went and said, this is my time. And the line was huge. And I kept looking, you know how it's like goes round and round and you can see toilets sort of scattered throughout.
Starting point is 00:56:22 All of them were huge for the women. And I was like, well, I just have to do this. I just have to sit in the line and lump it. And then I'm sort of like moving forward person by person doing my time in the line. When a woman came up to me and said, oh my god,
Starting point is 00:56:38 Hayley Sproul. Now I did the thing where I tried to look like, yes, that's right, my old friend. And she could see that in my eyes and said, no, you don't know me, I just love, I I tried to look like, yes, that's right, my old friend. And she could see that in my eyes and said, no, you don't know me. I just love listening to ZM. Oh, that's fantastic. This is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Yeah, lovely woman, beautiful spirit, starts chatting to me. Yeah. And then as the line is still sort of moving forward, she's still sort of with me. Oh, yeah. In the line. And I made a comment like, haven't you just jumped the line? And she goes, oh.
Starting point is 00:57:10 How many people are behind? Are they noticing her doing this? 100%. Oh, no. Right, okay. 100%. There would have been at least like 20 people behind me. Oh, wow, okay. For this line, in which there's like,
Starting point is 00:57:20 when I went in there, there was only like six toilets. So the line's not moving that fast. Anyway, so this listener of ours, and we have high expectations of our listeners and their behaviours, you know, we're all representing ZM. This sly little woman, absolutely. Do we need to do our first 2024 listener expulsion? No, I'm not going to expel her.
Starting point is 00:57:43 We don't expel anybody. No, no, no. I'm here for to expel her. We don't expel anybody. I'm here for quality over quantity. I've said that before. I'm going to get the expel bell. No, we're not. I don't know if we're in a position of expelling listeners. I didn't get her name.
Starting point is 00:57:56 She was very complimentary about the show, but I can't help but feel I was played. Yes. I cannot feel. I can't help but feel she played me like a harp. And then we both got to the entrance of the toilet. We're side by side. Wait, so she's still there?
Starting point is 00:58:09 She's still there. You know what? I'm on her side. This is a great play for her. She saw an opportunity and she took it. As one person left a cubicle open, another one did. So now there's two toilets available and we just both go into them. And I was like, I've been played like a fiddle.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I love that. Do you think she even listened to the show? Oh, my God. Do you think she just saw me on a billboard? She may have been faux complimenting. Oh, my God. She went on a quick Google. She probably listens to bloody More FM or something.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Expelled! Oh, my God. She could have been lying. Yeah. She could have been lying. She said she was a huge fan of the show and that the show was great. Did she say anything that happened on the show that she enjoyed? She had no reference material.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Oh no. You got played. You got absolutely played. She didn't say, I really like that thing, girl math that you did. Nope, she didn't even bring up girl math. Of course she would bring up girl math if you saw me. She didn't even bring him up. she doesn't even know that I like him Because she doesn't listen to our show
Starting point is 00:59:07 You got absolutely played And then she went in front of you I did the hard mahi, sitting in that line Crawling forward and then she just hopped a ride And also now everybody behind you in the line Is like, that That be Haley Sproul She lets people push in
Starting point is 00:59:23 I don't, I don't. I was just receiving compliments. And for that reason, we have our first 2024 listener expulsion. No, we're not. We don't expel people from the show. We don't do that. Expel from the show. We've already worked out she doesn't listen to the show.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Damn it! We're going to enroll her. Yeah. And then expel her from the show. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We're going to enrol her. Yeah, and then expel her from the show. Jennifer Coolidge is in the country, guys. Jennifer Coolidge is here. Now, she is here for Minecraft. That's why Jack Black was here and popped up with the Foo Fighters.

Starting point is 01:00:31 I think she would smell very nice. I think she would smell expensive. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? And it would be some kind of wafty, heady perfume. Yeah. Anyway. It sounds a little creepy.
Starting point is 01:00:44 It's getting full on. It's getting full on. It's getting a bit much. And now, on Saturday night, Shannon received a message from a friend. And it said, Jennifer Coolidge just walked into the bar

Sorry, which is in Auckland and said grabbing dinner up there. Now that's a rooftop bar. Have we been to this bar? Have I been to this bar? I haven't been to Sunset Bar, but I've
Starting point is 01:01:26 looked at the menu. I'm trying to figure out what she ate. What do you think she would have had? The menu is inspired by Mumbai street eats, reinterpreted with global flavours and seasonal ingredients. It says that it's on the top of the Sudima. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that down here? No, over there.

She would have had a masala waffle fry. She could have had a loaded flatbread with eggplant chutney. I think she would have had a porn star martini from the cocktail list.

Starting point is 01:05:28 that killed the dinosaurs? That sounds like the percentage of somebody who is on magic mushrooms, to be totally honest. Yeah, look, I'll be honest, Vaughn. I didn't click the link. I copy and pasted it, as we do, for a million stories every week. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:44 And there was no research or checking of dates. Right. There was. Because we love it when Fletch proposes something and it's from 2009. Yeah. He's like, guys, breaking news. Look, people don't know the dates. We live in a world where facts don't matter anymore.
Starting point is 01:05:59 They do. They need to. They don't. Listeners, you can trust us. So it wasn't that they arrived on the asteroid. Okay. They believe that mushrooms, which have been around for a very long time,
Starting point is 01:06:11 and are neither plant nor animal. They're a fungi. They're their own, from the fungus kingdom, which is one of the biggest kingdoms. Don't tango with the fungi kingdom because it'll turn us into the last of us. It's going to kill us like the last of us. Yeah, they reckon.
Starting point is 01:06:22 The last of us will get us. So it evolved at the point in time around when the asteroid hit. So I was close. Psilocybin. Psilocybin. Psilocybin. Psilocybin. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:36 The thing that gets, that the body converts and can make you trip balls. Buzzy wuzzy. Yeah, so it didn't arrive on the asteroid. So if you were imagining like a little magic mushroom just being like, hell of a ride. I'm here. Just commanding an asteroid through space. Riding it.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Y'all ready to get funky? You guys like seeing things that ain't real. Yeah, well, I'm on my way. Coming through there. Amateur is like, this atmosphere might be hot for some. It ain't hot for me, baby. Let's go groovy. Boom.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Smashes into the earth and the spores go everywhere. And that's how we have mushrooms. No, but the evolution of mushrooms that started producing the hallucinogen was around the same time as the year. Right. How hard is it to grow your own,
Starting point is 01:07:21 like, you know, like you buy from the supermarket for a stir fry, like your button mushrooms. It's so easy to grow mushrooms. Because I don't know if I trust, if I had a garden, I don't know if I'd trust myself. Because what if it goes all a bit skew-iff and you end up hallucinating watching Seven Sharp with your stir fry? What a wild drug trick. And Hilary Barry's all like purple and has six heads.
Starting point is 01:07:42 I thought the hallucination was that you were watching Seven Sharp while eating a stir fry. Like you're at work and then you're like, take mushrooms and you're like, whoa, man, Seven Sharp. I'm like, no, you're at work. You're juicing the magic mushrooms in your stir fry at dinner time. No. Accidentally.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I always see people picking them. I think that's them. I don't know. I don't know what they look like. Foragers. Foragers in the forest near my house. Oh, yes. It's definitely the mushroom hunters. Is it?
Starting point is 01:08:12 Right. 100% the mushroom hunters. Because I'll be there working on my mental and physical health on a bushwalk innocently. And the people are there picking mushrooms. I assumed for a stir fry to watch, to eat while they're watching Seven Sharp. But obviously not. But they're watching Seven Sharp. But obviously not.
Starting point is 01:08:25 But they're going for something a bit more spicy. They expected Seven Sharp to be on, they churn in at some country house hunters with Matt Gibb. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:08:32 With a couple actually already owned the first home that he showed them. Controversy. And you're just like, grab onto the couch. It was unexpected.
Starting point is 01:08:42 So that's today's first mushroom factor today is they mushroom fact of the day, as they did not arrive on the... Will there be any facts this week about Smurf homes and mushrooms? Oh, maybe. I feel like that could be a good one. I looked up a lot of facts about mushrooms last night, and I found some interesting ones,
Starting point is 01:09:00 but I thought everything else was very... Shittake. Already known about mushrooms. You got one about that? Porcini. You know the floppy flat ones? I don't know much about those and I don't trust them. Oh, man, shiitake's in my...
Starting point is 01:09:12 What are you... Ikinubi. Inunubi. Ikinubi. Ikinubi dog food? What are you talking about? How high are you? Man, this bag of chips never ends.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Oh, my God, you've eaten 15 kgs of economic dog food. Is that you, Hilary Berry? Is that a bad thing? Those were our people tonight. So today's fact of the day is magic mushrooms didn't arrive on the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, but the time of evolution that made mushrooms have a hallucinogen in them is dated about the same time.
Starting point is 01:09:48 It's all the same thing. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. The impossible finding topic. An amazing story from the UK. It was an abandoned spaniel. Spaniel? Spaniel.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Spaniel. Like Samuel. It was a Spanish spaniel. Spaniel? Spaniel. Spaniel. Like Samuel. Wait, do you just have a spaniel? I thought it was a cocker spaniel. No, spaniels are a... It's of the spaniel variety. Right. Of a breed, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:34 But what's just a spaniel? Spaniel's like an umbrella name for a breed. Right, okay. Yeah, your cocker spaniel. There's English cocker spaniel. There's King Charles Cavalier spaniels. American water spaniel. And cute dogs. Cavalier king spaniel. Yeah. Yeah, fl cocker spaniel. There's English cocker spaniel. There's King Charles Cavalier spaniels. American water spaniel. And cute dogs.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Cavalier king spaniel. Yeah. Yeah, floppies. They've got lovely floppy ears. Oh. So there was one of these that was just abandoned and it was found and it had six legs. Well, that'd be why it was abandoned. Wow.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Six legs. Wow. What? I mean, I wouldn't do it. This guy here talking like he's got the perfect body. Like, you don't have six legs. Yeah, I wouldn't do it. He's got the perfect body. Like, you don't have six legs. I wouldn't do it. I would never do that to an animal,
Starting point is 01:11:08 but people would because they're like, oh, it's got six legs. It's extra shoes. It had an extra like, dogs don't wear shoes, but it had an extra pelvis and everything. So it was almost like it had swallowed a dog in the womb. Like, it was like co-joined almost.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Deny or a mutation of sorts. Yeah. Okay, one more. Yeah, the two legs, they ended up removing successfully. Right. What about the extra pelvis? Very intense surgery. But they removed them.
Starting point is 01:11:35 They removed it all. They look, I feel like they took the wrong ones. Oh. I saw the dog on the news. Oh, my God. It only doesn't run right. They took the rarest legs. Yeah, they took the rarest news It only doesn't run right They took the rarest legs Yeah they took the rarest legs
Starting point is 01:11:46 Because it doesn't run right But that's because It's still getting used to The fact that it doesn't Have that extra like It had a whole lot of stuff in there They took the wrong legs I'm telling you
Starting point is 01:11:55 So They removed the legs And now the dog's like happy And they're looking to adopt it out Got four legs It's very It was a very cute dog Wow yeah
Starting point is 01:12:03 It is cute It had a great sort of demeanour. Yeah. After it all that it had been through, abandoned and such. Why didn't they just keep it with six legs? It'd be like having a husky. Everyone would be stopping at the dog park. Oh, my God, you've got six legs.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Yeah, yeah, totally. On your dog and you'd be like, I'm sick of explaining this. It'd be different if it looked like a caterpillar, like the back legs functioned fully. You'd almost leave it there because then it's six-wheel drive. You know, that dog's going to be able to get up hills and all sorts of stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Hell yeah. Yeah. But they weren't fully functioning dogs. Yeah, right. So they had them removed. Right. So on the back of this, we want to know,
Starting point is 01:12:38 not about pets, but did you have something extra removed? Removed. Like a bonus. Like a third nipple. Third nipple, extra toe. Removed. Like you had a bonus. Like a third nipple or an extra extra toe. Extra finger. Little tail. You know people sometimes are born with the little tails. Little nub,
Starting point is 01:12:51 don't they? I've said before, people thought I'd grow out of this, but I've said I would have a tail if it was an option. I would have a tail. It would have to be furry like a monkey's tail though. I don't know if you've thought that through. I don't want a big skin. Like sporad Flesh tail. Skin.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Like sporadically hairy tail. It needs to be like. It needs to be proper. It needs to be a proper hairy tail. I haven't had an extra thing removed. I don't. I'm trying to think if I know anyone that has an extra something, something. People are always with extra teeth. Don't some people have extra teeth? I've got an extra something, something. People are always with extra teeth.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Don't some people have extra teeth? I've got an extra tooth. There's four small ones down the bottom. But you haven't had it removed. I got another tooth removed at the back to make room for it. Okay, so technically you could call through. You're an extra tooth. I'll get on the blower, shall I?
Starting point is 01:13:39 Do you want to call now? Yeah. I'll just give it a buzz. What is it? 900 dials in M. 100. She's got to use the numbers, the letters. 3-2-6.

Long-term listener, first-time caller. I mean, she's been on the show a lot before. I don't know if you can ding that.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Never called, though. Yeah, fair call, fair call. Okay, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, so I was born with five little teeth down the bottom right. Bit of a shit story. Like in the middle. I don't know how the producers let this on, to be honest. How many of us have four, two on each?
Starting point is 01:14:34 You're supposed to have four and I've got five. Isn't that what you guys were asking? Yeah, no, that's a good starting point. It just wasn't quite clear. I don't think it's Caller of the Week. I don't think it's Caller of the Week stuff, but it's a great starting point. It might be Caller of the Week. No, no, no, no. No, you're missing me. Not Caller of the Week. I don't think it's Caller of the Week stuff, but it's a great song. It might be Make Caller of the Week. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:14:45 You're missing me. Not Caller of the Week. Do I get a $50 McCafe voucher? No, you don't get Caller of the Week. That's what they get. You're going to need a better story for that, listener. Yeah, but that's good. Thank you so much for calling.
Starting point is 01:14:57 I'm going to go listen to more FM. You guys suck. Oh. Wow. I just went to the toilet. What was that? We just had a caller on with an extra tooth. Average caller to start. Right. What was that? We just had a call on an extra tooth. Average caller to start.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Right. What was the extra thing they had? Oh, they had an extra tooth. Cool. So 0800-DARCENM That's so cool. We want you to give us a call for the impossible phone-in topic.
Starting point is 01:15:19 9696 to text us through. There's a text machine. There's a text machine. It's a text machine. It can't be read out. We've had a plastic surgeon. I don't know if you call that extra. Extra nipples we'll take. They remove extra nipples.
Starting point is 01:15:37 But I don't think we're going to take when people remove some of their extra skin. Bits. Right. Okay, well 0800 dials at M is the number. You can text through 9696. Were you born with something extra
Starting point is 01:15:49 and have you had it removed? A dog with six legs has had two of them removed, so now it's just a normal dog with four legs. And we want to know if you've,
Starting point is 01:15:58 for the impossible phone-er today, ever had an extra bit removed. Yeah. Like an extra toe. We had a great caller earlier who had an extra tooth and had a. Like an extra toe. We had a great caller earlier who had an extra tooth
Starting point is 01:16:06 and had to get a tooth removed to make room for it. It was a great... Caller of the week, I'd say. I don't know. The boys didn't agree with me. I don't know. Jenny, good morning. Welcome to the show.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Hi. Hi. Have you had something extra removed? I haven't had it removed. I was supposed to. When I was 15, I found out I had a third kidney. So I have two on my left side
Starting point is 01:16:33 and one on my right side. Because Hayley, you've got one. You've got one. You had to get one removed. Well, yeah, the majority of it, chunks of it removed. Oh, ouch. Yeah, it did suck, actually.
Starting point is 01:16:45 So I'd just keep that. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. So does the third one function? As far as I'm aware, it does. I mean, I get very drunk very fast, but I sober up very fast. Wait, wait. Extra kidneys make you get drunk fast. I thought it would have processed it and you wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Well, I don't know. I think it's because they filter faster. Yeah, because you get drunk really fast and then gets it out. Then I sober up real fast. Yeah, but do you get hangovers still? No. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Kidneys remove waste products from the blood and produce urine. So it's just getting... I think you're just a lightweight, to be honest. the getting rid of it quick sounds getting rid of it quick sounds like the role of the kidney wow and so you there's no reason to get it removed so you don't think you will um well when i was 15 i had an allergic reaction to voltaren which put me in hospital and that's when they found out about my extra kidney. Oh, wow. They put me on the waiting list to get it taken out. But I was 15. I had a fight with my boyfriend at high school
Starting point is 01:17:50 and I decided to skip the country and move to Australia. So now you've still got measured response to a teenage fight with your partner. Yeah, I think so too. And now you've still got three kidneys. I love it. I do, but I also have eight children. So if I ever need to donate one of them.
Starting point is 01:18:09 You've got a spare. Oh, but look, she's a walking living supply chain. I am. You could donate two of those. Eight children. My Lord. Now that's a way better caller than the one about the teeth, actually, isn't it? Thank you, Jenny.
Starting point is 01:18:21 In the 1950s, Russia would have loved her. Yeah, Josh, you've got an extra body part. Have you had it removed? Yeah, I had two extra bones in my foot and I had to get them removed and a ligament moved when I was back in primary.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Whereabouts in the foot were the bones? It's on the side. Why did... Well, that's where the scar is. Yeah, right. Was it like an extra toe? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:18:44 They were like in the foot, like by the ankle. Floating around or serving a purpose or? Well, they had the ligament attached to them, which they weren't meant to. So I used to limp and have a bit of trouble walking. So when they took out the bones, it fixed it? Oh, yeah. I roll my ankle pretty easy now. You're a bit rolly, are you?
Starting point is 01:19:02 A bit rolly, yeah. You might need a good boot with ankle support. Sounds like you need a boot, like a tramping boot. You're a tramping sandal. You can strap that foot in. Fashion will not be your friend, but functionality. Isn't that amazing? And then so that's obviously helped a lot.
Starting point is 01:19:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still walk a little funny, but I just walk like a dog. I think funny walks are endearing. Don't worry about it. You see people walking all boring-like? Yeah. Not our Josh. Not our Josh.
Starting point is 01:19:30 See, again, a much better caller than that girl with the teeth. Yeah, I'm seeing that poor girl. But she really opened it up. She did. She started the ball rolling. Thank you, Josh. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 dials it in.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Get to more of those next. Those fantastic calls. Had to more of those next. That's fantastic, Koolz. Had an extra body part removed. Want to know for the impossible phone-in topic today if you've had extra body parts removed. Jeez, listen to this. My daughter had a tooth that was in the roof of her mouth, near her nose.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Oh, yeah. It could have made her top four teeth fall out to the left. Right. They cut off her soft palate to access the tooth, glued a chain to it, put this through a hole they punched in her palate and attached it to braces to stage it into place. And they stitched the roof of her mouth back on and it all worked. Oh, my God. Yeah, I've sort of seen people that have had those teeth at a back
Starting point is 01:20:27 and they get pulled forward with braces. Into the gap. Because I had two, these two teeth were up really high. They got yanked down, but forward. Oh, yeah. Far out. How did that, was it a baby tooth that came off and got, or was that a thing from birth?
Starting point is 01:20:42 I don't know. I don't know. Oh, wow, that's fascinating. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, wow, that's fascinating. I don't know. I haven't had my extra part removed, but I do have an extra vertebrae at the base of my spine. No, it's not a tail. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:52 It's the start of a tail. So you have, what, like a C4, C5? Is that what they? Sorry, I'm just reading the text that says you can't read this out on air. It's just for us. Well, don't do that to everybody. It's just for us. I, don't do that to everybody.
Starting point is 01:21:05 I'm so sorry. This is tickling you, isn't it? Also, someone just texted and said they have an extra finger on your right foot. Now, that, I believe, is a toe. Is a toe. What if it's an actual finger on the foot? Toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, finger. I didn't mean to boil out your extra toe. No, it'll blur.
Starting point is 01:21:19 I'm sorry. It'll probably make some money online, to be honest. Yeah. Oh, yeah, with those feet, people. You know, OnlyFans, you could call your OnlyFans... OnlyFingers. OnlyFingers. My partner has an extra nipple.
Starting point is 01:21:34 It has little hairs growing around it. We always thought it was a mole, but it's definitely, when you look closely, it's definitely a little miniature nipple. Well, you're in good company, because Harry Styles has got an extra one, doesn't he? He's got a mini little nipple. He's got a mini extra nipple. He's got a mini extra nipple. My husband was born with an extra finger.
Starting point is 01:21:46 He got it removed before he was two. My husband was born with an extra finger. He got it removed before he was two. Oh, yeah. I had an extra uterus removed after I found I have two vaginas. I've read about that before. No, because I remember when the guy on Reddit didn't ask me anything and he had two penises. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:03 That's right. So would he be the perfect match for I mean. It's like a plug, isn't it? It's like when you go to Brazil. When you go to plug your things in it's a different adapter. Wow. I've heard that because wasn't
Starting point is 01:22:20 there a woman who had a baby in each? Yes. What? Yeah, she got pregnant with twins and they took a uterus each. Good Lord. Off the same event. Off the same event. Insemination. Oh yeah, you would hope.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Or at different times. No, because you've only got one set of ovaries, right? So you're only releasing the one egg. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm shooting them there and there. Wow. My son had an extra tendon in a toe, apparently more related to an ape. Oh, closer to the OG. Closer to the ape.
Starting point is 01:22:52 I work in plastic surgery. We've sorted out a lot of extra nipples. Yeah. Yeah. Someone said nipples seem to be quite a popular thing. I was born with two extra pinky toes on each foot, but instead of growing from the end of my toes, they grew on my ankles like little nubs.
Starting point is 01:23:08 What? I was homeskilled, so I was never bullied for it, so I never felt like I needed to get them removed. And now I love putting toe rings on them and embracing my extra toes. No, no, no, no, no. I'm going to need to see a photo of that. Could you wear a high boot if they're coming off the ankle? Boots aren't designed to accommodate extra housing.
Starting point is 01:23:27 You wouldn't want to do a five-day tramp. You'd get a big blister on your little ankle. On your ankle toes. You might wear down your nubs. Yeah. Five days doing Lake Waikeremoana. Oh, beautiful. Wear your nubs off.
Starting point is 01:23:40 You would. You'd feel it. Does it have a toenail? Does it have a toenail? Would you paint the toenail? I don't know. When you get a pedicure, are you paying extra?
Starting point is 01:23:48 Well, yeah, technically it's an extra two, isn't it? Extra two. How would you cure it in the machine? Because when you get a thing, you slip your foot into the machine.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Yeah, you have to put it around the end. I've got an extra testicle. I was supposed to get it removed, but the doctor said it's fully functioning and not a health issue, so here I am, three balls.
Starting point is 01:24:06 They have toenails, and I get French tips on them all. Not to take from Mr. Testes here. Right. Thank you for clarifying. How does it look with the... Would you even... Do you think you'd really even notice it if you...
Starting point is 01:24:17 Can we have a photo, please? I would like... Just for personal use. Of the testicles or the toes? Both. Beggars like can't be choosers? Do they sit side by side? Because it would look like one of those things people have in an office
Starting point is 01:24:27 where you pull up the ball and let it go and it goes. Yeah, and so they're in the same sack? Yeah, no word of an extra sack. Single sack, three testes. And I want to know, does one sit at the front and two at the back or two at the back, one at the front? It might be like, have you ever had a grape that's like, or a tomato and it's got the little extra bit on it?
Starting point is 01:24:44 Uh-huh, a little extra storage a grape that's like, or a tomato, and it's got the little extra bit on it? Uh-huh. Like that. Like it's connected. Like it's connected, but it's still part of the same, not to compare your testicles to a tomato. Now, back to the ankle toes. Okay. Yeah. The feet people charge you $15 extra for the extra nub French tips.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Is that discrimination? No, it's extra toes. It's extra, your price per toe. Extra work. It's not discrimination. Your price per toe. It would be why if you only went with one leg, they wouldn't charge you for two.
Starting point is 01:25:12 They might. Oh, they wouldn't. Yeah. They wouldn't. Imagine the outrage. There'd be some outrage. Especially here in the Paralympics. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 01:25:21 How absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for your messages in. Amazing. Teeth removed from their nasal messages in. Amazing things, ladies. Teeth removed from their nasal passage. See, again, that's way better than that first lady we had that called up with the extra. I'll agree with you. The first caller was the worst caller we had.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Yeah, absolutely. Is that the podcast done? Because I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Jesus. Give us a review.
