The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. Welcome to the show. Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

It's two minutes past six. Hi. Just checking. Five on time was not one yesterday? No. Cheap as. Your chance, 8 o'clock, to win $25,000.

This is the 112th attempt, is it? Yeah, it will be. Okay. Well, we came close yesterday as well, at 8 o'clock. I know, we told her she was well off, but she wasn't. Well, listen up at the Activator if you want to play 8 o'clock

to win that $25,000 cash. The top six on the way. Yeah, a giraffe has been born. And this is no big deal. Have you seen the videos when a giraffe, like, they... Yeah, they flop out. They fall out. They flop out.

I know. And then they just stand up and start running around. You're like, what? It's nuts. Well, they need to. On the plains of Africa or they'll be eaten. Yeah. By one of the many predators.

Not a lot of fat on them. If you're a lion and you had a newborn giraffe, you'd be a bit disappointed, I reckon. Like, God, this is bloody. Unless you like your lean cuts. It'll be soft, lean muscle. Yeah. Bit of bone to crunch through.

But a giraffe's been born in a Belfast zoo. Oh, okay. And they've opened it up to be named by the public. No. They have put some guidelines in place, though. But I'm going to ignore those. Giraffe face. Yeah.

I'm going to ignore those completely when I give you the top six possible names for this new giraffe baby. You're coming up with some originals. Some originales, yeah. Good for you. All right. That's creative boy. Coming up on the show next. So the Olympics are kicking off this weekend. Good for you. That's a creative boy. Coming up on the show next. So the Olympics are kicking off this

weekend. Yes, indeed. And there is a previous Olympian who has explained what gets on in the village and why. What gets on? What gets on? The people do. They get it on. And why they're doing that.

So the Olympics are kicking off in Paris. Friday. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. It's the Olympics kicking off in Paris. Friday. Friday, this weekend. Will it be Saturday New Zealand time? Yeah. Friday Paris time. So there are a number of unwanted Paris Olympic tickets are available for resale. So when they sold tickets apparently they said you've got to buy

three events. Or you've got to buy a block of events. Oh, okay. And they said, but don't worry, you'll be able to resell the events you don't want to go to through official channels. But the number of listings on Tuesday, yesterday, was just over a quarter of a million tickets. That's ridiculous that you had to buy three to buy one.

Like you only want to go, say you're a massive horses person. Say you're a horse. Say you're a horse. You've got no interest in any other sport apart from the equestrian because there's no horses in any other sport.

Oh, how's a horse going to get into a pool, for example? Ridiculous. And even if a horse went to the swimming, where would it sit? Nah.

It would get in the way. It would fold down seats. Oh, yeah, it'd have to be on the side. It would. It would have to be looking out through a window. So, slippery concrete? No, everyone would be to be on the side. But it would. We'd have to be looking out through a window. So, slippery concrete.

Everyone would be like, don't run, don't run. And then it's in the pool. So, the opening ceremony, tickets are for resale at the moment for just under €3,000. Jesus! For the opening ceremony. For the opening ceremony.

The best place to watch that's on your telly. Yeah. Yeah, because they film it so well. The best place to watch that's on your telly. Yeah. Yeah, because they film it so well. Yeah. Do we know who's performing? Well, there are rumours it's Lady Gaga. Well, she got to do with Paris. I don't know because French artist Marcel Marceau.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. There's got to be mime, right? You'd assume so. Am I right to associate mime with France? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. They invented the mime. The mime, the baguette and the threesome. Those are all

three things I better be seeing in the opening ceremony. You can see all of those in some kind of interpretive dance. Yeah, and rolling over to the Germans in World War II. There'll be big Moulin Rouge, I reckon. Some can-cans. Yep. There'll be a lot of fireworks, but yeah, they're worried that a lot of events are going to be to the backdrop of just empty seats.

Oh, shame. Oh, really? Shame being in an empty seats board. Even the other, that aren't the opening ceremony, other events. Yeah, very expensive. Oh, God. I would love to go and see the athletics. That's my favourite.

Didn't this happen in, do you remember in Brisbane? Did they hold the Commonwealth Games and everyone just- On the Goldie. Everything was too expensive and everyone just left because they were like, it's just going to be, you know, too busy. And then no one went. No one was there. That's so awkward.

Do you remember that? Yeah. I also saw on, like, lots of the athletes are arriving, right, and apparently those cardboard beds- Oh, my God, they look horrible. Are horrible. What's our big unit? We've got a couple of units.

We've got a couple of those. Tom Walsh. Yeah, how's he going to go on these beds? The two girls I saw were like Aussie, I'll say it, they looked like volleyball players. Something told me. Now, they were svelte ladies and they were like, oh my God. And they were like, I've got to go to the chiropractor.

The beds were so terrible and wasn't the whole theory was like they make the beds terrible because the Olympics is notorious for all the athletes shagging each other and you were saying an athlete's kind of come out to raise the kind of the little behind the scenes

peak. Now she was a, her name is Suzanne she is peak. Now she was a, her name is Suzanne she is a German long jumper and she was in the Olympics back in 1992 and the year 2000. Okay.

And she was saying, oh my god, yeah, it's like from day dot that all the athletes come off and whether they're feeling jacked up and like, woo, I nailed it and they've got all that extra like dopamine or they feel really like stressed and guilty and like embarrassed,

it's gone terribly. That's the way that they just release it is like all getting together and having a little humpty dumps. And then a psychiatrist was like, hell yeah. Because you imagine like I even get- I might have come last in my race, but I'm going to come second now.

Yeah, second. Wow. Good for you. Good for you. Yeah, I even get a... I might have come last in my race, but I'm going to come second now. Yeah. Second. Wink, wink, wink. Wow. Good for you. Wink, wink, wink. Good for you. Try. Try.

Wink, wink, wink. Try. I'll try my best. Just like in the race where I lost. You don't care as long as you get a gold, silver, or bronze. I'm just happy to be there. Yeah. Sure.

But then a psychologist was like, absolutely, because it's the adrenaline of it all. And I know that feeling. Like, in a small, small scale, when you come off stage, you're like, what am I going to do? And that's why lots of people drink, but these are athletes. Because you've had all this attention on stage. Yeah, and then you're all just, like, jacked up. And so then you head back to the cardboard beds

and use that extra serotonin. What were the last Olympics? Rio? No, Japan. Japan. I remember they were delayed by either, especially 2020. But do you remember, as is always, it'll be a news story any day soon or any day next week. People change their dating profiles, like, to passport mode.

Like, their Bumbles and Tinders and Grinders. And they put it in the Olympic Village. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah, that's right. Everyone's, like, trying to match with all the hot athletes. Yeah. So that'll be a thing.

I mean, if you're surrounded by literally the peak examples of humankind. Yeah, why not? You'd have a little taste test of a few, wouldn't you? Well, the Olympics days away. I can't wait. I love the Olympics. Play ZM's Fletch Va Vaughn and Hayley's. A lot of people overseas at the moment, isn't it?

Isn't it? Aren't they? Aren't they? Because it's cold. Well, you guys just were. Yeah, it was delicious. It was busy. Yeah, but we're not now.

You're not now, so you're angry at those that are? Yeah, we can be like, oh my God, stop posting your Europe stuff. Tone it down. Yeah. I know. Because the weather's one thing, but I'm seeing a lot of food being eaten over there too. Yeah. You know, I like eating.

Hotties and food. You know, I like eating. Sunshine, hotties, and food. That's why we travel. Yeah. Culture. No, no. Hotties, food, and sunshine.

Yeah. I found a great article of the nine things that you do on holiday that you would never get away with at home. And you say you do some of these at home. Well, see if you can pick the ones that I do. Okay. Here's the first thing on the list. Unashamed round-the-clock drinking.

Now, I reckon that starts in the airport. You can be in the airport at like 3 o'clock in the morning. Well, rules don't count at the airport. 7 a.m., lunchtime, middle of the night. People are having a bubbles. If you've got one of these ridiculous 15 hour flights or a long flight you can't get too

it'll just ruin you oh shut up oh shut up shut up what are you shut up what are you a pilot yeah

what are you I mean if you're a pilot you should definitely not be having a a lounge drink no you shouldn't a departure lounge drink I was on quite a

I was on Qatar, which is, you know, more of a conservative airline, you'd say. And God, they really judged me every time I kept asking for drinks. Because they were like,

they're allocated drink times. A drink, and then your dinner with a drink. Yeah. And then maybe when they collected your thing, there'd be a drink. And then they'll be like, and now you sleep.

And you'd be like, well, you've kicked me off for three drinks. What are you, my mama? What are you, a pilot? Give me another drink. And you'd be like, I'll have one more. And they'll be like, oh, what do you want? Well, you be like, and now you sleep. And you'll be like, well, you've kicked me off for three drinks. What are you, my mother? What are you, a pilot? Give me another drink. And you'll be like, I'll have one more. And they'll be like, oh, what do you want? Well, you're like, it's international airspace.

Come on. I have a sparkling wine, thank you. Oh, okay. A little bit judgmental. But yeah, I mean, you know overseas. You're like, oh, go over for lunch. Have a bit of that. Have an Aperol at breakfast.

Have an Aperol at breakfast. Yeah, we're having glasses of wine. What's that tomato-y one that Sade likes? Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Oh, those are disgusting. So gross, right? Yeah.

What's wrong with you? But she'll drink one of those on holiday if it's on the menu. Eat a salad, you know what I mean? If you're going to have a tomato drink. A celery and olives and tomatoes and vodka. Yeah. But same thing, you'd often- It's like vodka spaghetti bolognese.

You've got no time for it. Or vodka pasta, I know. People are really into it. Yeah. Some of the fashion we make on holiday, like often vacation outfits are bolder, brighter, a little bit more revealing.

Like, you know, when I was biking around, I was only in a little bikini. My mum didn't have any pants on. You know, you're like, I wouldn't do that in New Zealand. So you just, like, fashion rules go out the window and you're like, I think I could wear this large caftan. Because no one knows you. Yeah, yeah, and then you sort of have a holiday version of yourself

in which you're sort of this incredible thing, and then you come home, and you're like, where are my black clothes? The next thing on the list of, like, nine things you do on holiday you wouldn't get away with at home, cheeky cigs. Is that how much? Cheeky cigs. Cheeky cigs. Did you have a cheeky cig?

Yeah, I did. Hayley. 100%. Hayley. When I was in Doha When I was at the nightclub on my own I was like oh yeah 100% Were you smoking in here? But not when I was in Italy

Because it was with my family When you're overseas you're like Oh my god we're in Paris One of those long ciggies in a lady holder Also like when you come from New Zealand, they're so cheap that you're like... It almost feels like rude not to. Hey, Lee.

Child's play is another one. Like, when you're on holiday, maybe even like an island holiday, suddenly you're like, we should play cricket or we should get, you know, chuck a ball around. And you're like, I would never do that at home. Going down water... You know, we go to, like, water slides, we go to water parks, and you're like, I would never do that at home. Going down water slides, we go to water parks and we're like, ee-hee-hee. Yeah, I get that.

Turn a little bit into children. And you'd never do a hydro slide at home. I would, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go to a hydro slide at home. I mean, if the kids want to go to a water park. Yeah. What's the water park in Bali? Bali Bomb. Bali Bomb?

Yeah. That's good stuff. Can we rename that after 2005? Yeah no It's called Bali Bomb Yeah I know it's bizarre I've seen good things about that place Yeah it's good

It's good fun So another one is I've never done this Hotel entertainment Like you get into the bingo Bingo that the hotel's running Some aqua aerobics Line dancing on the beach

Crab races Yeah Yeah Public karaoke You know like Those cultural experiences. Oh, get up and dance with the Fijian dancers.

Which you would never do at home. I don't do that. No. I don't do the dancing. No. Okay, here's another one. Unruly romances. Like, you're just taking

a bit of a whim on some stuff. Oh, like a holiday romance. Yeah. Fletch, comments on that? No. I didn't, obviously. You didn't, obviously. Fletch, comments on that?

I'll turn to Fletch. But you wouldn't do anything overseas. You wouldn't do it at home, would you? He's just on it. He's just on it all the time. They're calling it, when you're single on holiday, a lot of people make

slightly ill-informed, really fun choices. Okay. Is it nothing? No. Hot water, hot waders, or walking red flags.

You're like, I'm overseas, man. On what? You're in the Italian mafia. Great. You've been reading the books about the Italian mafia. You've like, I'm overseas, man. Oh, what, you're in the Italian mafia? Great. You've been reading your books too much. I have. Okay, here's two more.

So this is the list of the things you would never do at home, but you do on holiday. Yeah. Okay, dessert after every meal. Yep. I'll just have a little tiramisu. Break for sweets. Break for sweets, lunch sweets.

Breaky pud. Yeah. Lunch pud and then pud pud Breakfast sweets, lunch sweets. Breaky pud. Yeah. Lunch pud and then pud pud. Okay, afternoon delight? Oh yeah. You know when you're on holiday

or you're with someone and you're like... Well, because you haven't just been at work all day. Yeah, exactly. Then you have a bit of lunch

and you're like, we're really tired, man. Hopping to bed for an afternoon nap and we're on holiday south of the ocean, whatever. Okay,

the last one was... And you've got to work off that lunch pud. Yeah. Yeah, you do. This is very similar, day naps. Which you've got to work off that munchpud. Yeah. Yeah, you do. This is very similar. Day naps.

Which you would never normally. Like a lot of people, because I don't love napping, but on holiday you do sort of go like, I'll just drift off. Especially if you've had a little bit of afternoon delight. And also you can see why they do it in places like Spain and that, because it's so insanely hot at like three o'clock. It's too hot in the middle of the night.

A little siesta. Yeah, it's a good idea. A puppy's got to have a siesta. Especially if he's having a little bit of unruly romance and a little bit of afternoon delight. It all goes, and some drinks for breakfast. And breakfast pudding. Breakfast pudding, drinks. You have to have a nap. Twenty past six, next

on the show. Main character syndrome. Oh, that's me. You think the world revolves around you. I'm the main character. Who else does it revolve around? Revolve around. Exactly. Apparently it's not all that bad to be that narcissistic. Main character syndrome

is something that's been bouncing around for a while and it is recognised and has been studied by the University of Missouri and they have come to the conclusion

that if you view yourself as the main character and not a sidekick in your own life, which is crazy. Who does? Wait, someone There are people who identify themselves as even minor characters in their own story. What, like as just part

of a bigger story? Yeah. Surely everybody sees themselves as the main character. No. They don't. In their own life, they don't. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine. I mean, certainly not. I couldn't imagine us three, any of us three thinking. From the day I was born. My mum used to say, you know when your parents would always say,

the world doesn't revolve around you, Hayley. And I'd be like, mine does. It does. Always. 100% it does. So they did this over three studies. The first one they asked people to identify on a scale of one to five whether they consider themselves a background character or a lead character.

Lead. Lead. Five. Literally. Mine character or a lead character. Lead. Lead. Lead. Five. Literally. Mine's almost a solo show. You're a one-person show. With faceless background actors.

Just sort of moving figures whose names I'll never bother to learn. So the people who rated themselves five were more content and had a better level of satisfaction and well-being. So then they said to the ones who marked themselves low, for the next however many weeks, I want you to think of everything you do, you're the main character in it. And they asked them again at the end of that

and all of them felt better. All of them felt a better level of satisfaction and well-being. Would this change a bit if you became a parent? Cause I, who did I talk to? Oh,

I was talking to the tattoo artist. I got my tattoo from Sammy and I said something, but I just can't imagine suddenly not being the most important thing in my life. She's like, yeah, it's crazy. It's like a wild change to suddenly be like,

they're actually the most important thing. And everything I do is for them. So you have kids and you say you identify as a main character. Yeah. What? I'm also a main character in their story. Right. Yeah, right.

I assume they view me as a main character. I'm also the main character. He's top five on the call sheet. This is the Big Bang Theory. That had a large large or modern family. That's what I like to think about in my stories. There's an ensemble cast. Your friends.

And you're Phil Dunphy. I'm Phil Dunphy. Yep. That's the best character a father could hope for in this ensemble cast of their own life. But you've married a Sofia Vergara. Bingo. Yeah.

Who's also very much a lead. Yeah. And then there's the kids that are also the leads. They're men. They're their own story. Yeah, right. Oh, it would break my heart if my children did the study and they asked who were the main characters in your life and I wasn't on there. You weren't top five. If they were their own main character.

So then they did a second experiment where they asked people where they sit on the scale. Yeah. And then asked them to recall a story in which they were a major character. Like, tell me something about your life where it did revolve around you. Yeah. After they told that story, they felt better about themselves.

Yeah. So whenever these people who weren't putting themselves as the main character, not first, not selfishly putting themselves first, like Fletch, not like... I'm just the main character. Absolutely., not selfishly putting themselves first like Fletch, not like absolutely unwilling to compromise and only self-driven. But when they told a story about themselves where they were the main character, they felt better about themselves.

Yeah, 100%. And then in the third experiment, they described three goals that they were pursuing and the rate of the motivations for doing so. And then they said, okay, so make those, this goal isn't where you are the main benefactor of the goal. Right. Change that goal to something that's just literally about you.

Like, I'm hoping to make the company better. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get rid of it. Make yourself better. I'm hoping to get my family overseas for a big holiday. Well, no, you are. You're taking, that's still you.

No, no, but I know what you mean. Like, refocusing things to be completely self-serving. Yeah. Well, not servicing others. Like, the example they use is take, I want to do well for a company who don't care about you. You're just a number in a book to them. Make it about you.

Like, I'm going to do better. I'm going to earn more money. And then, again, they felt better about it. After some time had passed, they felt better about it. But it's good. So basically, be more narcissistic to feel better. Is this the advice that you were telling us to take today? But everybody's a little bit narcissistic

you can't I guess it's like the you know bears yeah grizzly bears I thought you meant

like big hairy gays this might also work for big hairy gays yeah if they are starving yeah like they eat their babies they are hungry

big hairy gays when they get hungry and will they eat their babies yeah because're hungry. Big hairy gays when they get hungry. And will they eat their babies? Yeah. Because they're like, if I die of starvation, this baby's going to die anyway. But if I survive,

if I survive, I could probably have some more of these. Now I'm not saying eat your babies if you're hungry. If you're woken up peckish, don't eat your children.

What is the advice that you want us to have? Eat your babies? Who are the hairy gays eating if they don't have babies? Twinks. They get a little twink. They get a hairy.

Just a line through the twink population is in rapid decline because of the way the bears are getting through them. Because it's winter and they're hungry. But you've got to prioritise yourself is what I'm saying. Right. And you feel better. You can't make other people happy if you're not happy, I guess. So if you have kids today, make sure you're fed rather than them.

I'm confused by the advice. Bingo. They can go without breakfast. I'm confused by the advice. Bingo. They can go without breakfast. There's cereal in the pantry. Go on. There's a warning. People are basically seeing all these amazing hikes on TikTok and Instagram reels, and they're like, oh, my God, we should just go.

We should just hike that mountain. No training? A lot of them, no. So this story comes to us from Wales and a Welsh mountain rescue organisation have responded to 97 rescue calls this year. So far, seven more than the same time last year. It's recently been school holidays there as well.

And they said that to rescue a group that were 200 metres from the summit. I think it's only like not even 1,000 metres. But is this a perilous, this is a perilous hike. It looks a little perilous. Then you have to hike along a quite a narrow ridge. There's a lot of like rock hopping and stuff. You can't raw dog a mountain.

And like apparently someone was like 200 metres from the summit and had a panic attack and just couldn't move. And people have been making TikToks like, oh, I've had no, this is my first time hiking. And they're getting into trouble. They won't have the right gear either. A lot of people do that. Like, oh, we'll just wear gym gear.

And you're like, no, no, no. I've literally seen people. Yeah. Is that what it is? I've literally seen people. Yeah. Is that what it is? I've literally seen people wearing jeans and like trainers. There's a difference between a walk and a hike. You know, like some walks, you know, like Mount Maunganui.

That's a walk. That's a walk. That's fine. You don't need. It's easy. Yeah. You're going up a clearly marked path. But when you go on a hike, as you say, sometimes there's ridges, there's cliffs,

there's rubble, there's all sorts. But people just want that amazing Instagram photo or that TikTok video with the views. That's why. You really feel for people who walk the pinnacles on a cloudy day, you know? Oh, I know. I've done it on a cloudy day.

Did you Photoshop? No, I just took a photo in the clouds. Yeah. But I've done it on a beautiful, like we did it on a kind of a cloudy day. Did you Photoshop? No, I just took a photo in the clouds. Yeah. But I've done it on a beautiful, like we did it on a kind of a clear morning. Sunrise morning. Yeah, on a sunrise morning. A little bit of clouds,

so like the sunrise was a bit more dramatic. Yeah. Yeah. Adds a bit of dimensia. No, I always get thrown off by how hard hikes are. Like there's one, there is a hike that I've done a million times and it's in the Wairarapa and it's called the

Gentle Annie. And there's nothing gentle about it. And every time, and it's supposed to be the most gentle one, and every time I do it, you always get started and you're like, oh god, this is awful. Don't Google it, because now you're going to see it's a very... The track starts from the Donnelly Flat Loop Walk.

I'm going to go on all trails and I'm going to get a, you know, like they do that elevation. Is there a website called All Trails? Yeah. It's an app. It's like an app and it gives you, it's really cool, yeah. It's just loading now. There's always the start bit that you're like, holy shibolies.

It's a lot. It's only got an elevation gain of 500 metres and it's 11 k's. It's real hard. But at the start, it's one of those starts where you're like far out. You know? Okay, it doesn't look that...

There's that one just out of Hamilton in Ngarawahia, the Hakarimata summit track. Right. People love, they love letting you know you've been up there. Maybe just because I've got, I know a lot of people from the Waikato region. You do.

When they go up there, they let you know they've been up there. Actually, I will backtrack there and apologise to you, Hayley, because it does give it a 4.6 out of 5 stars, the gentle Annie. Yeah, not gentle. Hard. It says it's hard.

It's really not that gentle. Because what it might go up 500 metres overall, right, but the undulation along the way not taken into account. Well, there you go. Don't track shame me. Okay. Little Miss Hike. I just invited you on a hike,

and after comparing it to this one, maybe I'm going to uninvite you. That just won't go. Is the gentle Annie named after the washing machine? The Fisher and Parker washing machine? Is there a gentle Annie? Oh, is there a gentle Annie? It was the washing machine of the 90s. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't even know. And early 2000s. Do they still make

a gentle Annie? I don't know. I don't know. Is it tough on dirt, gentle on clothes? Oh, was it what? Wow. Was it what? Well, no, I imagine that the gentle on clothes? Oh, was it what? Wow. Was it what? Well, no, I imagine that the gentle Annie track is named after, you know, Anna von Magelhorn, who was the first person to climb to the pinnacle, I imagine. The gentle Annie was introduced in 1985 as the world's first washing machine with an electronically controlled brushless direct current motor.

Oh, my God. When I have washed my clothes, it's got to be brushless. So that's why it was gentle because it didn't have big brushes in there. Yeah, right. It was just doing the... What a fun additional little... Side fact. Information trick.

Yeah. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Can you help Belfast Zoo name their baby giraffe? It's pretty cute.

It's pretty cute. Oh, look up a baby giraffe. It's a Rothschild giraffe. Let's just show me. I don't know why it's called a Rothschild giraffe. The shortlist of four names has been drawn up by the animal care team at Belfast Zoo. Voters can choose between Ballybracken, Ballymo, Ballytober or Ballyrobert. B-A-L-L-Y.

Bally, I looked that up. It's Irish for like the home of. Oh, right. I looked up all of those names and yeah, they're all places around. But there's Ireland. I mean, we know how these naming competitions work.

Yeah, we sure do. Boaty McBoatface. Yeah. Oh, baby giraffes are so cute. Yeah, they're real cute. Look at them. Ears.

They've got the lot. You wouldn't want to cuddle them. I don't know why I started with ears. They've got ears. Top six names of the new giraffe in Belfast. Number six on the list, Longy McLongneck. Number five on the list, Spotty McSpottybod.

Number four on the list, Little Antlers. Because they're weird little antlers. Yeah, they are. They're like little second ear nubs. Yeah, little nubs. Or fur on them. Number three on the list of the top six names of the new giraffe in Ireland, Shorty McShorttail.

Number two, Lashy McEyelashes. And number one on the list. I love Lashy McEyelashes. I love Lashy McEyelashes. Beautiful eyelashes on this thing. And number one on the list of the top six names for the new giraffe in Belfast, Boaty McBoatface. Why not? Give me five good reasons why not.

It's always got to be in there, doesn't it? It's always got to be on the list. This is why these competitions are doing this now. You can pick from the five we give you. These are the names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are the names because otherwise they just get hijacked. Give us the ones that they've suggested.

I just want to compare them to your list. Bally Bracken, Bally Moe, Bally Toba or Bally Robert. Those are all bloody stupid. No, I'll go with your list. It's a real Irish. I think Lashy McLashface. Yeah, I like Lashy McLashes. Lashy McEyelashes.

Oh, Lashy McEyelashes. Lashy McEyelashes. Big, beautiful lashes. That gets my vote. Yeah. Imagine going into a beauty place for your eyelashes. Give me the giraffe. Blued on, give me the giraffe.

Yeah. Used to be all about panda eyes, now the giraffe. Yeah. Giraffe lashes, panda eyes. Heavy blink. Heavy blink. Yeah, heavy. A real workout every time you want, pander eyes. Heavy blink. Heavy blink. Yeah. A real workout every time you want to open those eyes up. That's today's top six.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly Little Poll is about capsicums today. I misread it completely. I just read, if you could pick one colour, what would it be? I was like, well, green must survive. I didn't read capsicum. Oh, right, you thought just colour. Yeah. No celebrity. I guess red hands down thought just cover. Yeah. No celebrity.

I'd read hands down. Orange is the sweetest. Yeah, and this, I mean, which producer didn't know? Jared didn't know. Jared didn't know. It's the same plant at different stages of ripeness. Yeah, so capsicum start out green and grow to a mature size before changing colour. It's caused by the breakdown of chlorophyll, which can cause

them to turn white, lilac or purple before fully maturing to yellow or red. Lilac? Yeah. I've never seen a lilac capsicum. And this news story is capsicum colour. The mind-blowing truth that's

shocking people. Because people just think you grow a red capsicum. And then you grow a green one. Or you grow a yellow one. But they're all the same at different stages. And this was brought up because producer Jared admitted to buying a green capsicum. Yeah, I was tasked with getting capsicums and the supermarket only had a green one. So I bought that thinking it was fine.

And then I was sailing the seven seas with the boys, and I get a tap on the shoulder, and the middy just tears strips off me for buying a green capsicum. Yeah, it's incredibly embarrassing. She wanted a red. Yeah, but sometimes they don't have a red, do they? No, no, they don't. Yeah.

No, no, no. I buy the king sweeties. Yeah. Those are nice. Those long red ones. Yeah, those are yum. Also, you can, if it's just for like a stir fry, you can get this.

Some of the supermarkets have the frozen medleys. They're really good. Oh, I haven't tried those. So you get all the different colours. A frozen medley of capsicum. Yeah, delicious. I've never seen a bag of frozen capsicum. Yeah, you simply must.

I wouldn't think of freezing capsicum. No, neither. Because green is trash. No, red's number one. Yeah. Green's right on the top. And is orange sweeter? I don't know.

I'd never buy orange. I think so. Orange is a treat. Okay. And is orange sweeter? I don't know. I'd never buy orange. I think so. Orange is a treat. Okay. Orange is a treat. Well, the poll results. Well, let the results speak for themselves. As 74% of respondents said red.

Yeah. Yeah. Is it just because it's a good prime colour? Probably. No, it's just the best. It's just a good looking. And it is nice in a stir fry, eh? When you've got like broccoli or something. And then you've got red. And then you've got red. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, you's just the best. It's just a good looking. It's nice in a stir fry, eh? When you've got like your broccoli or something.

And then you've got red. And then you've got red. Yeah, it's good. And colour. Yeah, you're saying for colour. Carrots take care of the orange. Yeah. You've got a lot of green.

Yellow corn. Yellow corn all of that. Those little corn things sometimes. Those weird beans that are in there sometimes. Yeah, you've got to have red. Red, 74%. The second, yellow, 13%. Orange.

And at 8%, green on a measly five. Yeah, disgusting. Yeah. Disgusting. Anyone who picked green's a sociopath, said Kylie. Bethan, I voted green for cooking because the others have no structural integrity and fall apart, but if we're raw dogging, then the lighter the better. She is right.

Green because it's earlier in the ripe. It's like a firm nana. Yeah. Okay. And she wants the firmness in the better. She is right. Green because it's earlier in the ripe. It's like a firm nana. Yeah. Okay. She wants the firmness in the cooking. You stir fries and such. Orange, says Mason,

but I'll be goddamned if I'm paying $4.89 for a capsicum. Yeah. That's where you get the freezer stuff. They've always been expensive. That's where it's at.

Yeah. Middle of summer, that's peak capsicum season. You get some good ones then. Red, but I really need a green for pizza night. Holds together better, says Michaela. Interesting.

Yeah. Green is a better all-rounder, says A. So A's more boxes are being tipped by the green. Ben says the colour red stimulates the appetite. Did you know? Does it? I did not know, Ben. I didn't know that.

I'm taking your word for it. I could open another tab and Google it, but we don't have that sort of time. We don't have that time, Ben. We're short on time. Ben, it's 7-11. We can't. Jal says, Do they?

Well, that's good. Beneficial. Is that true? Can we get a... I opened an article called The Many Colours of Bell Peppers, because, of course, not everybody calls them capsicums. But it doesn't say whether or not the red one has more iron. They develop as they go, you know.

Yeah, maybe. The reds have more antioxidants, seven times more beta-carotene. Oh, wow. As well ascarotene. Oh, wow. As well as more vitamin C. Okay, but no iron there. No word on the iron. Unsure on the iron. Benny said everyone who picks red are under the influence of big grocery.

I'd go orange, but respect all the green capsicum fans out there. No, there's no respect coming towards the green capsicum lovers. Lucille, green because they feel healthy having had greens. Lucille Bluth, yes. Not Lucille 2 this time. Lucille, wow. She's having a sit down. Lucille Bluth.

Lucille 2's out of the game. But there you go. Although the green was underrepresented in the voting, I think once people saw it was doing so poorly, felt bad and chucked a comment in for it. We didn't choose to be green. No. We don't choose what colour we are.

Do you know what I mean? No. Yeah. We don't choose. Wow.. No. We don't choose what colour we are. Do you know what I mean? No. Yeah. We don't choose. Wow. Profound. That is profound. It is.

12 past 7. Some of you using capsicums to solve racism there. Did I? I think you did. Just solve racism. That's what I witnessed. I don't know if you did. Wowzers.

Yeah. It only took me. A white woman. Someone said, I only just found out yesterday that paprika Has just dried out Smashed up capscum I didn't know that Did you not know that? No Roasted capscum

And then dehydrated And then smashed up Right And smoked a lot of the time Yeah Smoked paprika Interesting I'm hungry

13 past 7 Next on the show New World has a new Sticker collection I'm having a little look At them online Yeah We want to talk about this

And also Shannon Has devised a plan To make the most of this new sticker promo. She's cunning. She senses a chance to make some money. Now, New World promotions, it all went crazy with the Smeg knives. That's what really made it go crazy. Everyone was cutting off their fingers. Yeah, they'll never beat the smeg knives, New World.

For the craze. That wasn't the first one, though. No. The first one that mattered. Because I've still used them. I know. You've got the whole bloody shebang. I went crazy for those.

Yeah, they did glasses. The glassware they did at one stage. Wine glasses, that's right. Yeah. Pots. Yeah, they did at one stage Wine glasses That's right Pots Yeah they did pots I got a pot They did KitchenAid pots and stuff And this is always KitchenAid isn't it?

This is what the new one is They're doing KitchenAid glass containers Yeah So for every $20 you spend you get a sticker Just like usual And then you've just gotta go hard collecting Yeah now we're not being told to say this. I'm genuinely excited about these.

Because I'm a Sistema girl. I'm the new Sistema girls with the suction edges. They're like... Oh, yeah. And these look good. And you can never have too many glass containers for just storing stuff in the fridge. Well, you can if you don't have anywhere to store them

and then you just go chuck them in the back of a poor cupboard. Yeah. You've got a drawer and it's a bit shambolic at times. Yeah, same. Now, producer Shannon, who is number one hustler, number one show hustler,

have you already got an idea with these? Yeah. So I've got an anonymous extended family member who during the Smeg Knives found an entire roll of the stickers on one of the shelves. Yeah, they genuinely found it. And they made so much

money selling them on Marketplace and Trade Me. Just for a couple dollars for a few stickers. Someone had left a roll and took it. You can't do that. I know. I'm not endorsing what they did, but they did genuinely find it. They didn't steal it. Well, I guess it's still kind of stealing. Yeah, it's like saying

I found some food on the shelves of the supermarket. They just left it. I found food in the supermarket, so I steal it. Well, I guess it's still kind of stealing, but... Yeah, it's like saying I found some food on the shelves of the supermarket. Yeah. They just left it. I always find food in the supermarket. So I took it. They didn't like ram raid someone for it, you know? Oh my God, you don't have to ram... Oh my God.

Okay. Well, anyway, we're certainly not endorsing what they've done. That's terrible. No. So I spent my real money at New World yesterday and I got some stickers and they offered me a little booklet and I was like, I don't need a booklet. I'm not sticking them down. I'm saving these to sell to you guys. What?

Because you'll get desperate towards the end of this. She's hustling. And I'll say can I have some brekkie? Can I have some nuggets? I'll give you my stickers for some breakfast. Yeah, I looked it on Trade Me before. Nobody started selling them but you know they will. It's too early.

It's gonna happen. People were doing this last time with the knives and every time there's one of these. Let's do everybody's favourite game when these promotions start. How much is this glass container gonna cost you? Well, 35 stickers. 35 and they're each $20? Gets you an oven dish, gets you a big one.

That's a $700 oven dish. No, but I guess the thing is if you're already spending it. Yeah, but if you're ramping it up or specifically going to New World, which we know isn't the cheapest supermarket. Yeah, no. So you're choosing to spend. Okay, well, the small container is 20 stickers. 20 times 20 is $400.

That's a $400 container. Yeah, but you're already, again, you're already spending the money. You're already spending the money. You're also getting food for it. You're not just paying $400 and getting a container. You're going there to me. So I don't think you can buy these in New Zealand, because I

just looked, because you know, Briscoes always have like a whole bunch of these kind of containers, but they don't do KitchenAid. Okay, but what about other, like, what about other? Well, I remember looking up the Smeg knives. What would I Google to see? What would I Google? Glass.

You would just go KitchenAid glass. Container. Containers. With lids. Yeah. Vacuum. Okay, let's see what else we've got here. Okay, so.

You can probably buy a set for like a hundred bucks. All the glass containers are oven safe. So you could do meal prep, take off the lid, see what else we've got here. Okay, so... You can probably buy a set for like a hundred bucks or something somewhere. All the glass containers are oven safe. So you could do meal prep, take off the lid, chuck in the oven. And then cook it, yeah.

Well... I want them. You can get... Of Timu, you can get ten. Yeah, but that's gonna... Put that in your bag and see what it's like carrying your bloody casserole to work.

And a vacuum, $81. Yeah, right. Well... Two minutes. That's one that's taking the piss. $ vacuum, $81. Yeah, right. Well, Shannon. That's one that's taken the piss. $52 for a container. Yeah, that's ridiculous, isn't it? Yeah. Well, Shannon, how many stickers do you have so far?

I've got five for you. Five. Highest offer will get them. Okay, yeah. I will provide to you some physical affection. Lovely. In the form of two hugs today. And I would also

like to reimburse you for your McCafe coffee that you received earlier this morning. Oh, okay. So what was that like five bucks? Yeah. So five bucks and two cuddles. That's my highest bid. I was kind of hoping for like 50 bucks.

Well, you spent 100 Yeah Yeah but you got the food I don't get any of the food You didn't spend $100 on five stickers You got food That's my last offer And it's currently the only offer on the table We'll keep checking in

We'll see how you're doing Yeah you guys will get desperate With your side hustle No I'm not gonna I don't think I'm gonna collect these ones You don't think? Because I've got heaps of glass containers desperate. With your side hustle. No, I'm not going to. I don't think I'm going to collect these ones. You don't think? Because I've got heaps of glass containers already. Well, join my side hustle.

Collect the stickers and sell them. So you're both going to collect the stickers and then try to hold them over me because you know that I want these containers. How awful. I'm going to find you containers and charge you a finders fee for you to spend way less money and get more containers.

Okay. But you're going to get cheaper ones that'll leak. Didn't last time you were all going out to save the stickers and I was saving stickers for you and then you're like, I'm not doing it anymore. Yeah, I know. And I had literally given you all these stickers. I gave the stickers to a woman though because the last time when I was

hunting for a smeg knife, the woman had them all and she just turned to me and was like, do you want this? It was a full booklet and I got the big chef's knife. Yep. And so this time I got the one pot I needed because I've got pots and pans. Yep. I got the one pot I needed to fill in the blanks and then I gifted.

I don't want to talk about my charity on here. But you've just been forced into it. I've been forced into it. I don't want to talk about it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Let me share with you a hangover cure that has, quote, very little scientific backing.

Now, apparently this is like an old wives' tale out of beautiful Italy. And it's gone viral on TikTok. Because Gen Z is like. Yeah, right. I didn't think Gen Z were drinking. That surprised me that they're coming up with hangover cures, considering they're like, oh, I don't like that. I'll have a raspberry.

A raspberry Coke. A raspberry Coke. Oh, my God, where did I have a raspberry Coke? How good is a raspberry Coke, though? I had a raspberry Coke the other day. Yeah, raspberry Coke is so great. I wasn't drinking and I was looking at the menu. I was like, where did I have a raspberry Coke? I had a raspberry Coke the other day. Yeah, raspberry Coke is so great. I wasn't drinking and I was looking at the menu and I was like, what do we have? And then the

Wait, was it a raspberry and Coke or a raspberry Coke? Raspberry and Coke. Yeah, you get the raspberry shot added later. It tastes like raspberry Coke. Is it a snake bite? I don't know. Is that what they call a snake bite? Don't come in here with your Hamilton terms. Yeah.

I asked, I said, could you do me a raspberry coke, but could you do it with a Coke Zero? And she was like, I mean, I've got to tell you, the raspberry is sort of defeating the purpose of having a Coke Zero. The raspberry is just syrup. Yeah. Anyway, it's delicious. Now, a snake bite is an alcoholic drink

made from equal parts lager and cider with a dash of blackcurrant cordial added later. Yeah, that's it. Very Scottish. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so you have a shot of olive oil while you're drinking.

Right? So you're doing shots, you're doing your drinks, whatever. Is that coating that you're inside so that it doesn't even absorb the booze? You literally, like, quoted this. The Mediterranean old wives tale is that doing this with olive oil coats your stomach and slows down the rate of absorption of alcohol due to the richness

of its healthy monosaturated fatty acids. This is why I always do a sourdough and olive oil dipping when I have a charcuterie board and I drink at my house. He's always worried about our gut health when we're absolutely downing tequilas. Absolutely.

Now, as a result, they say the classic symptoms of a hangover are reduced because the fatty food slows down the process of emptying the stomach and therefore causing a delay in alcohol absorption. Right. And then science said, nah.

Yeah, I bet it did. They went, maybe. You know, like, there's not a lot of scientific research behind it. Very little evidence that it would have any impact on a hangover whatsoever. Yeah. Now, the only hangover hacks I've tried,

not drinking, that was a hack. Yep. That works. That works. I literally woke up and was like, I feel like a spring chicken. Yeah. This is revolutionary.

We tried one which was pears and coconut water. Yeah, I'm big on that. Coconut water is just nature's power, right? Yeah, it's delicious. It electrolytes. It's good. Yeah, very delicious. Somebody messaged in, highly recommend roll bops for a hangover.

Roll bops? Roll mops. Roll mops. Pickled herring and brine. And then you can roll like a pickle in the middle with some like cheeses and such. Yuck. It's German in origin, derived from the words rollin' meaning to roll and mops meaning fat young boy.

No. So you're rolling up a little fatty. Right. Rolling up a fat little something, something. Okay. It actually looks quite yum. They literally say drinking a ton of water before, during and after alcohol

and a good hearty meal that is full of nutritional goodness, rich in protein, fats and complex carbohydrates. That's literally the only way. And go to sleep

and don't drink too much. And just drink in moderation. Yeah, that's your hangover cure. How do I avoid a hangover? Drink in moderation. How do you mean that? A bit of vodka in that. Yeah, yeah.

I think you just have lots of water. And then you do what Fletch does, which is say, I'm having fun, I'm having fun. I'm going to go home. And you go, he's just gone now. You just said you're having fun. Yeah, yeah. And he wakes up in the morning, he's like, how is everyone?

I've been to the gym. I'm in a spin class. Yeah. Next on the show, somebody's had their big day, their big special day, upstaged. Their individual special day. So, as you may have heard, Joe Biden has stepped down as the president. No, he's still the president.

Yeah, he's stepping down from the next president. No, he's still the president. Yeah, he's stepping down from the next race. Yes. Yes. And this was huge news because it was like long rumoured and then the election's already... Like a hundred days away? Yeah, and it's also just mad because you may remember someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

So this whole election is just like one of the most cooked things. Anyway, Joe Biden announced his stepping down and it was the news of the day wasn't it? Which really upset one, I'm going to call him a fella one little fella whose birthday it was so he took to

the internet to have a little whine and a moan about the fact that of all days for Joe Biden to step down, which he also did on a Sunday. Now, people are saying that the audacity to quit work on a Sunday, it's a bit cowardly. Anyway, but he said of all days, I don't know. Why?

I don't know, because you should wait till Monday so you can look your boss in the eye. I suppose when you're the president. He is the boss of bosses. He's the boss of the world. Yeah. Anyway, he said of all days for Joe Biden to make this decision, why did he have to do it on my birthday?

Because everyone's forgotten to message me. Because they're online looking up the big news of the day. Wow. And they're all talking about Joe Biden quitting, not his birthday. And some people take their birthdays very seriously. Yeah, I don't. Very seriously. I do.

I always look forward to it. My big special day. And you always go on about it. Actually, what day is my birthday this year? A Tuesday. Oh, God. Good. We won't escape that then, will we?

We'll be here for it. Yeah, we'll have to endure it. You will. But I definitely, my brother sort of, it took years for him to get over the fact that I actually ruined his birthday by existing. Right. Because it was his birthday by existing. Because it was his birthday.

He's on the 7th of October, I'm the 8th, but I was born at 1am on the 8th. So the end of his birthday was all about my mum going into labour with me. And I spoiled his birthday party. How much older is he than you? He wouldn't remember that, would he? Three years. No, no, but it's like a story he holds on to. Oh, right, yeah. I love those things people are angry at you for that they can't remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they'll be like, oh, this is a real problem.

Yeah. But I wondered if we could get some calls of what spoiled your big day. Like what spoiled, and maybe it doesn't have to be your birthday, but it could be. Oh, like your wedding day. Your wedding day. Yeah. I've seen more videos of people proposing to their partners

at people's weddings. Oh, don't do that. Don't do that. It's not about you. No, that's a terrible idea. Under the arch. But you are the main character. Yeah.

They use the arch for a photogenic backdrop. Yeah, my dude. That's bad. That is bad. Like me, the bride, I've paid for that. That's my arch. That's the backdrop to my wedding day. And you've come in here with your big new exciting love,

and now ours is all old and locked in and legal. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Producer Gerard, you had a big day ruined, your birthday as well. Yeah, my 13th birthday. Oh, darling, and he's still holding on to it. Yeah, I got dumped by text. Oh!

On your birthday. Yeah. I remember being a teenager and dumping people through text. They would have had to pay 20 cents for that text. I know. I feel like they didn't even know it was my birthday, which feels like it makes it worse. Yeah, right.

What did the text say? Hey, I don't think this is working out. Yeah. I don't think this is working out when you're 13. Yeah. You take things very seriously. I just don't see a future with us. I remember saying stuff like that as a 14-year-old.

I had to take the ring back to Pascoe's. Oh, hon. You bought a ring? No. I was going to say. We've just had a message in and I always think about this. When someone dies on your special day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it'll always

be marred with sadness. When I was 17, my grandfather died. Yeah, but what about my birthday, mum? Yeah, you're like, sort of like the same person. When I was 17, my grandfather died the day before my birthday. And then when, you're like sort of like... The same person. When I was 17, my grandfather died the day before my birthday. And then when I was 23, my other grandfather died the day after my birthday. She has bookended with grief. Oh, gosh. Dead grandads.

Yeah. Hard to enjoy a dinner at Cobb & Co, isn't it? My niece was born on my birthday. Begged my sister to get her out on the day before. Come on. Have a C-section or something. Get it out. Pull it out. Whip it out. Spoiling my big day.

They were 14 when that happened too. You know, you're not forgiving that niece-nephew thing for a while. Yeah. Okay, these are great stories to kick it off. Let's keep them coming in. 0800 DARS at M. We want you to text in 9696. What upstaged your big day?

Right now, though, we want to know what upstaged your big day. My wife messaged me. Why don't you tell the story about how you got dumped on Christmas? Well, Sade, this is a very specific phone-in topic of when it ruined your day. Christmas is for everybody. Yes. I am anything but selfish. Yeah, Sade.

I am anything but selfish. Yeah. If we do a what ruinedined Christmas phone-up, it's closer to Christmas. Feel free to text in then. I will jump in with that story then. Nicola, what ruined your big day? Princess Diana died on my 12th birthday.

Murdered, I think you'll say murdered. Murdered in the front row. Princess Diana was murdered. Oh, no. And so that would have been, you would have been, what, in the middle of your birthday, and then all of a sudden it's just all go. So everyone came out for afternoon tea,

and the rumours were Princey Steyn has been in a car accident. And then later that evening, we found out that she died. So the focus was off me and the TV was on. 31st of August, 1985. That's your birthday. That was the day you were born? Yeah. Wow. I did maths. You did good maths, everyone. Good August, 1985. That's your birthday. That was the day you were born? Yeah. Wow.

No, she was a people's princess. She was murdered. She was a people's princess, and it's actually almost too soon to still be talking about it. Yeah. It is. Nicola, thank you. Tony, what ruined your day, your birthday?

Yeah, so my friend got married right on my actual birthday. So I had to attend his wedding on my birthday. Yeah, but you could almost say that he catered your birthday meal. Well, I could say that, but, you know, it wasn't really towards me. It was towards them. What? Yeah. How old were you me. It was towards them. What? Yeah. How old were you?

What birthday was it? Something special? So it was last year. So I was 31 last year. No, that's not a good birthday. Did they give you a shout out or did everybody sing happy birthday? No, not at all. Nothing?

Oh, well, nothing. Nah, that's not on. I might have done a little, like, you know, birthday celebration. Maybe it's if he's a jolly good fellow. Maybe it's a for he's a jolly good fellow. Yeah, exactly. For he's a jolly good fellow. Tony, thank you. Should we give Tony a for he's a jolly good fellow now to make up for it?

and my sister got rushed to hospital to have her appendix out. Oh, my God, that bitch. On your birthday. Yeah, yeah. So I woke up all excited and ran into her room, and I was like, yay, and she wasn't there. So I went into my parents' room and woke them up, and I was like, where is she? wasn't there. So I went into my parents' room and worked it off and I was like, where is she?

And they were like, oh, we took her to hospital yesterday, her appendix burst. Wait, wait. Like in the middle of the night. And then they just left her there. Yeah, well, because it's her birthday. Oh, that sucks. Wow, okay.

my mum went into labour and my next sister was born the next day. Oh, my God. That's a cluster. That's a big boom. So you've got two on one day and then one the next. God, that's a financial dent, isn't it? That sounds like we're all having one dinner tonight for all of you. It also sounds like your parents shag once a year.

Yeah. Like at New Year's? Yeah. And that's it. That's it. Yeah. That's it. Dad's saved up an entire year.

Yeah. And there's just no way your mother can escape pregnancy. I've been waiting years to be allowed a birthday party for my 10th birthday. Then my mum went into labour and I got a baby party for my 10th birthday then my mum went into labour and I got a baby brother for my birthday and said that stinks yeah

my 21st was upstaged by my son's first birthday and then my 30th was upstaged by his 10th I'm not bitter about it he's kind of hogging the limelight I'm not bitter at all

oh my god my mum had a heart attack on the eve of my wedding felt like something out of a movie being a bride in the hospital in my god, my mum had a heart attack on the eve of my wedding. Felt like something out of a movie being a bride in the hospital in my wedding gown. Thankfully mum was fine. That's good. That's good. Christchurch earthquake ruined my 16th birthday. Ruined a lot of things

didn't it? Yeah. No, they did say at least I was safe. That's the most important thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad had his wedding to my stepmother on my birthday. Oh, evil stepmother trope there. Pick another one. I was less than impressed.

I love that. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I love that. Fact of the day, day, day, daydo-do This week on Fact of the Day, it's things that have changed their name Due to, I don't know, a change of how certain words are perceived Today we're doing food Okay Today we're doing food Now, while Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben have had makeovers

Still the same name Yes, still the same name. Yes. Still the same name. That was problematic because of the characterisation of pre-mentioned Uncle and Auntie. But they've remained the same name. Just changed their look. However, in Australia, Coon Cheese. Yes.

This was last year or the year before? Yes. In 2021, actually, Coon Cheese. Yes. This was last year or the year before? Yes. In 2021, actually, coon cheese became chair cheese. It had been sold in Australia for more than 80 years. And of course, the origins of the term weren't the racist term. It wasn't the racist term. But the term had become synonymous with the racist term. So they changed it to chair cheese.

Closer to home, our own Explorer lollies. Oh, yes. And what used to be called the Eskimo pie. Yes. Oh, cancelled. He just said it. With an ice cream encased in chocolate. And he said, oh, I'm just saying it in quotations.

Cancelled. I heard it. Became Eddie's pie overseas, but I just think they stopped making them down here. No, I think they still make them, don't they? They just call them pies? No, they were something else. I'm pretty sure they still make them.

Explorer lollies are the go-to there. I don't have a... Polar pies! Thank you, producer Jared. Big fan of an ice cream snack in case of chocolate. He does. He loves them. Nestle has a few under their umbrella in the lolly department

that have had to change their name. Redskins. Again, he said it. Got him. I'm hearing it. I'm hearing it. And the team changed its name too, didn't it? Yes.

We're dealing with sports teams tomorrow. Oh, okay. Fantastic. The Crusaders? No, they've kept their name. So what they've decided to do is just keep it. They've kept their name. Okay, right. They've kept it. Yeah. Despite, yeah, kept their name. So what they've decided to do is just keep it. Keep the name. Okay, right.

They've kept it. Yeah. Despite, yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? Also, there was a lolly in the Nestle candy under their umbrella. In Spanish, it meant kiss from a black woman. Oh, okay. That translated. I mean, yes, please.

Do you know what I mean? Oh, absolutely. I haven't tasted it. You wouldn't say no. I would not say no. It would kiss from a black woman right now. Absolutely not. And there was another lolly they had,

but the word was also used in the US as a slur against people of Latin American descent. Oh, my goodness. So they've changed those. Now, one that we've kind of touched on a couple of times this week is things that haven't changed their names, but probably should.

For our English listeners, you might be familiar with Mr. Brain's pork insert, very offensive F word. Yes. Now, Mr. Brain's, the bundle of sticks. Wrong, really? It has been named this, Mr. Brain's product, came out over 100 years ago. And it was a bundle of meatballs.

A bundle of pork meatballs. So it actually drew on the Italian term. Oh my God, you can still buy them. Yeah, you absolutely can still buy them. And you know what? Every time they tell the company they should probably change it, do you know what they say? No.

No. Just straight up like, no, because that's not what that word meant. It's Italian for a bundle, and this is a bundle of meatballs. It's so shocking seeing the branding. Where do you buy those? In the UK. Right, in the UK. Yeah, you can still get them in the UK.

Me and a mate of mine over there, when he went back to mainland England, he's like, I can't believe you can still buy these. Yeah, it's pretty wild. Far out. It's a lot to look at. So today's fact of the day is a lot of foods have changed their names because of racist origins to the name of that food. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. And thank you to the person who said Afghan biscuits are no longer called Afghan biscuits.

They're called ruffs. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Now, I have an article here from Huffington Post and it is the four signs you are not compatible with your partner when it comes to travel. Which if you're not compatible with your partner travelling, are you compatible with them at all? Good question.

I remember someone saying to me like, you'll know a relationship is, you know, bound to work if you survive three things. A death, a major life change, and overseas travel. Because it's stressful, man. It's very stressful. What about them not stacking the dishwasher correctly? No, you can survive that.

You've been surviving that. You can survive arriving home and no one's at home, but the front door's wide open. And the air con's on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can survive that. You can also survive arriving home and no one's at home but the front door's wide open. And the air con's on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can survive that. You can. Harder, but you can get through it.

And you can survive multiple courier deliveries of clothes, even though I'm pretty sure we were on a spending stop there. Oh, okay. You can survive that. You can survive that. Okay. Yeah. It's better when you've got a workplace to hide them.

Yeah. You can also survive being told that there's way too much clutter on the bench, but every time there's a cardboard box, it just gets dumped at the front door for somebody else to deal with. You know, that sort of stuff. I think what's happened here is you've taken this, you've run with it, and I want to allow space for you, but I think more in a private capacity just as friends.

Right. Yeah, and we'll do that off air. You can also survive having your father-in-law move in. Yeah, you can. But just. If you believe. If you believe. I want to move us back towards travel. Because I, having just been travelling for two and a half weeks,

I saw like two big full-blown arguments with strangers. Like there was a boat trip and these two, this couple were like opposite sides of the boat. And then they'd kind of come together and he'd try to patch it up and she'd just have a go at him. And then they'd go and sit at, and it was so, my friends and I were just like, this is

brilliant. You spent so much money to get there. The two of you would have planned this together. Oh, we should get a boat from so-and-so. Oh my God, it'd be so nice. We'd be on the sea. And then there you are in the moment being like, don't touch me. Don't talk to me. Okay, here are the four signs that you're not compatible with your partner as a travel buddy one of you is a planner and the other is more spur of the moment okay it's just going to have tension for the person that's planned things if you're a bit more like oh maybe we don't do that

today and you're like oh i've planned this i've booked this i've got the fast pass kind of got the tickets already i've kind of got that yeah upsy-doodle-dandy what we're doing it's eight o'clock and we're still in bed. One of you, here's the second one. One of you is an early riser and the other likes to sleep in. Yeah. Same thing. You're kind of like the early risers twiddling their fingers.

They're wondering, they feel like they're wasting time. Yeah. The person who's sleeping in is like, I'm on holiday. I'm trying to get some more rest. We're going to start arguing here. There's friction. The third sign that you're not compatible with your partner is a travel buddy.

One of you is an adventure seeker and the other is a more of a leisure seeker. Yeah, right. So someone who wants to lounge by the pool. That works. So you can leave them lounging by the pool. I know, but some couples don't like to... They don't like to be left alone.

Like, well, you can't go out without me. No, we're here together. I'd be like, you go by the pool. Yeah, same. I'll go to this place. Yeah. And we'll meet up at five for a cocktail and tell each other about our day.

And here's the fourth one. One of you is a big spender and the other is a saver. So you want to go to every fancy restaurant. You want to go shopping in every town you're in. You want to do the attractions. Who wants to go shopping on holiday? That's insanity. I'm a big spender, but it's eating.

It's eating and seeing things and doing that, but not shopping. Shopping sucks, you dumb idiot. It depends where you are. What are we shopping on holiday for? No, I like to put a day aside where I'll be like, I'm going to go shop. We want to know now what caused the big argument when travelling.

How big was the argument? It doesn't have to be overseas. It could be a domestic travel. I mean, we've all sat in a bloody camper van before, you know, and we're going 40 kilometres up a hill. They're tiny. They're tiny. There's no space.

It's a moving prison on wheels. And I will award Vaughan Smith bonus points if you had a big argument on what is supposedly like a city of love. Oh, yeah. We're talking Venice. We're talking Paris. Okay, 0800DARLS.M, call us now. You can text her as well, 9696.

What was the big travel fight you had with your partner? And did you recover? Did you end up breaking up? I have a friend who came home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? Yeah, I have a friend who came home. Had a fight so bad and was like, I will leave.

And they left. Okay, give us a call. Oh, what? Why did you? What's going on over there? I'm halfway through a kiwi fruit. A disc of kiwi fruit. It's the way to eat them.

Anyway. We're talking about arguing on travel, on holidays. When you went on holiday with your partner. How bad did it get? We went on holiday with a boyfriend who liked to smoke the green stuff. The hotel we were staying at was right next to the local cop shop. So when he went to smoke on the balcony he's like, I can't smoke this. And then he went on

and on and on about what a stupid hotel I'd booked. Got home and we ended it. Yeah, good. What a dick. You're an asshole. Yeah, thank God. You're in another country. Enjoy it. Sometimes you just need one moment to see them.

Yeah. We were in Venice and I and previously I had received a pair of gold earrings purchased in Florence from my university boyfriend. I was determined to add a gold souvenir for my travels with my new partner, preferably

purchased by him. He was not taking the hint. He never does. Prefers to buy me dryers or vacuum cleaners. Practical man. I'm on this guy's side. Practical. He's practical. And I lost it. We had a huge argument on the canals.

I was literally screaming how entitled I was. The next day he went and purchased the gold pendant. I still wear it every day now, 13 years later. So the fight was worth it. Oh, my gosh. But he's not a mind reader. No. Tell him.

Tell him. Tell him. Or enjoy those nice dry clothes You've got from the dryer Yeah Taranay How bad did the argument get? This was our honeymoon

So we Didn't live together Before we got married And we never travelled together Because that's not allowed That's in the bible So this was like Yeah this was our first time Like alone together And like living together because that's not allowed. That's in the Bible. So this was our first time alone together and living together and that sort of stuff.

So we went to Thailand, and that's when I realized that we have very different expectations. So he's a lot more expensive, and I'm a lot less costly. So I didn't want to pay for like expensive, I don't want to pay for expensive taxis around Bangkok. I just wanted to like walk everywhere. And he was just grumbly, like a little sullen toddler in the background going, I don't want to walk anymore. Look how dirty my feet are.

Look how dirty my feet are. You should wear shoes in Bangkok. Yeah. Wait, so is this, is he still yours? Yeah, yeah. Like 18 years later. I just think you were ripping into him. I was like, I love this.

He's gone, isn't he? But no. No, no, he's still there. I just let him grumble now. I engaged in that like 18 years ago. I engaged and I was like, my God, what's wrong with you? You're ruining everything.

You've grown the in-ear device of a long-term relationship, which is a switch. We went to France and I didn't want to pay for the elevator ticket. I just wanted to walk up. Yep.

Up the Eiffel Tower. We had a three-year walk up. Yep. Up the Eiffel Tower. We had a three-year-old. Yeah, up the Eiffel Tower. Well, this is more expensive to get the elevator ticket. I just wanted to take the stairs. They're cheaper. Shit.

Did he take the elevator when you took the stairs? No, no. Well, because I hold the purse. Oh, okay. I strapped the baby in the front pack and I made him drag up the mountain buggy. You're doing a terrible job

advertising traditional Christian marriage. It sounds horrible. No, we're not Christian. It sounds awful. We're not Christian. I'm just ethnic. No, I'm just ethnic. I'm not Christian.

I'm just ethnic. Put it on a t-shirt. You couldn't leave the buggy at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower? I'd get pinched. France is full of bloody thieves. To get stolen? It would have gotten stolen. And then she would have bought another one.

You think she's made of money? I love that, Tarade. Thank you so much for sharing. We're talking about the fights, the big fights that you've had on overseas holidays. How bad did it get? I love the woman being like, my husband just complained about not wanting to sit on the plane for so long,

so I'm just going to Europe without him. Good. Great. We did get a message in from our friend Matt, who said, what about when they continually effing upgrade themselves and leave their loved ones behind in economy? Yeah, well, what I like to do, Matt, in said, what about when they continually effing upgrade themselves and leave their loved ones behind in economy? Yeah, well, what I like to do, Matt, in that situation, is take too many sleeping pills I've never tried before.

Yeah. Which is how Matt handled that famous situation. I think there was a bing bong on the intercom. Yeah, he got squirted out of the toilets, I think. I think, to be correct. I think he believed there was a colonial woman on the wing. I do think that he was. I think that's there was a colonial woman on the wing. I do think that he was.

But what if your partner got an upgrade, would you just let them go? Yeah, I would. Because you'd go if you got one. Yeah. But I would hold on to that. I'd be like, no, you go, you go. No, absolutely no problem. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. You're a

woman. We all assumed that was happening by default. Yeah, I'm just made up of small banks of information that I'm just ready to charge at any moment. Like Batman's belt. You've just got all these pockets full of weapons to throw in their face at any moment. And not just for one man, for all men in my life. Hashtag, yes, all men.

Hashtag, this time around, all men. Biggest fight in five years traveling with Zuno. My partner ate half of my special, very expensive ham in Spain after telling me he didn't want any. It was absolutely not. We had a major fight. My wife and I went to Australia with my best mate and his wife. We both had major arguments with our wives.

We ended up leaving them and traveling by ourselves. Five years later, my best mate's now my boyfriend. Oh, I love that. That's boyfriend. Oh, I love that. That's a guy. Oh, I love that. My partner called me a spoiled brat when we arrived in Florence. We came out of the train station at the wrong end and couldn't find a taxi, so of course I blamed it on him,

even though he'd never been to Florence before either. So much for the city of love. Yeah, bonus points there, because Florence is... Yeah, Vaughan Smith bonus points achieved. I love this. Years ago, can't remember even what the argument was, but it was massive in Venice, another city of love. Almost was the end of our relationship.

Then we hopped on a gondola and took the cutest photo ever. I bet they... And that went on Instagram. A hundred percent. They got the photo out and every time they see the photo, they both bite their tongue. Yeah. Yeah, because it's a cute photo,

but one day one of them's going to tell. Not my partner, best friend, me taking sleeping tablet that caused me to go absolutely crazy on a plane. Mike, why is it? Double texting him. While climbing on the baggage carousel, I have no memory of climbing on the baggage carousel. We didn't really speak for a year after this,

but I somehow made up for it, and now she's my bridesmaid. Oh, that's nice. I think you should always test a sleeping pill before you travel if you've never done them, maybe. Yeah. And don't drink on them. That's good fun. Arrived on the romantic island of Nusa Lembongan.

That's in Bali. Bali. Within half an hour of arriving, I received not one but two texts from mistresses he'd had for the last six months. He was kicked off the island and flown home. What? I imagine arriving in your beautiful, like, Bali villa

and then you're like, ding, ding. Hey, I'm sleeping with your boyfriend. I would go and have, like, the best night out. Yeah. I'd get him on a plane, get him off the island, and then I would go and have a fantastic night out. We were from different countries and didn't survive travelling between these different countries.

He'd yell at me for littering if I put an apple core under a tree or something like that oh that's what we do in New Zealand no that's allowed an apple core

can you tell him you don't drive along you eat the core I eat the core I don't chuck any because somebody was like you're just feeding rats and you know
