The ZM Podcast Network.
The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Great Things of Brewing at McCafe.
The perfect start to every day.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
What's up?
Short week.
Short week.
Yes, Easter fast approaching.
We've ordered our hot cross buns.
I'm hanging out for those hot cross buns.
Yeah, we've got some good hot cross buns.
I've been really trying a bunch of hot cross buns, haven't I?
You've been getting around.
It's good because you only get to do it once a year.
Yeah.
I will say $7.50, the one I paid for on Friday.
It was the smallest yet.
And then they microwaved it.
They didn't toast it.
And you had to ask for butter.
Yeah.
Bad.
That's not good.
One should never have to ask for butter.
That was so small.
That was like a big 50 cent coin.
Yeah, it was.
It was a choking hazard.
Coming up on the show this morning,
eight o'clock, $50,000.
It still hasn't been won
and the jackpot remains $50,000.
Five on time.
We had some close calls last week.
We did.
Our closest, 5.001.
I know.
5.00, no, 5.01.
5.01.
As close as it gets to giving away that cash now
if you want to play today, 8 o'clock.
And then after we play...
Speaking of jackpots, right?
Five on time.
We are joined by Jack Black.
What a dude.
Can't wait.
Kung Fu Panda out on the 4th of April.
And he's in the country because he's filming...
Minecraft.
With your boyfriend, Jason Momoa.
Yeah.
I'm getting tenacious D tickets now, by the way.
Are you?
I wasn't going to, but now...
I can't go.
Why not?
I'm at a reunion in Wellington.
A reunion?
What about the Wellington gig?
Well, I could go, and then I'd have to broadcast from down there.
That's okay.
It's on Wednesday.
It'll be worth it for the D.
No, it's not worth it.
Oh, for the D.
For the D.
For the D.
Do you know what?
I genuinely looked yesterday because I was like, I've got to go.
He's so great.
So much fun.
Jack Black on the show after 8 o'clock this morning.
The top six is on the way.
Yeah.
After the success of Barbie,
Margot Roberts' production company may be making a Sims movie.
I know.
Which you also, because you love Sims.
Grew up with the Sims.
Yeah.
I started playing Sims from Sims 2 all the way to like Sims 4.
You speak Sims as well. Yeah.
A little bit of Simlish there.
The top six are things that
better bloody happen in this Sims movie.
Hell yeah.
Next on the show, there's a report out of Australia
and you know, we're neighbours.
I'd say... We run similar?
I'd say we run very similar.
There's some quite disgusting
underwear habits coming out of Australia
that we need to discuss next.
LG, the people that do electronics, washing machines,
have done a big study when it comes to Australians and their washing.
And we're neighbours.
We're very similar.
Yes. So I would hope that we're neighbours. We're very similar. Yes.
So I would hope that we're not as bad as them.
Why are they not washing their clothes?
So much manker and hotter over there too.
Do you know what LG stands for?
Lash Go.
Sorry, I'll go.
I'll leave.
So Life's Good is what they're saying it is now,
but it actually stands for Lucky Gold Star.
It was a South Korean company established in 1958
and it had maybe the most Korean name ever.
Lucky Gold Star.
Lucky Gold Star.
Isn't there a Gold Star brand of something as well?
Appliances?
Or was that them before they just made it LG?
Don't know.
Gold Star.
Don't they do heaters or something?
Gold Star Takeaways.
Gold Star Motel in Mangare.
Gold Star Heat Pumps. Okay. Gold Star Meats. Maybe I'm just Mangere. Gold star heat pumps.
Okay.
Gold star meats.
Maybe I'm just imagining that.
Gold star shoes.
Well, it has found some quite disgusting habits from Australians.
One in five are wearing their undies two or more times before washing.
Oh, get a grip.
No, they're not.
Yes, that's days.
Well, it's just saying at this stage Australians
before we break it down, a quarter of
Australians are wearing
gym clothes multiple times.
No, no, no. Multiple.
I mean, if you've got the
active wear and you're not
really breaking a sweat, I
could imagine you could wear them again. I'll never
re-wear a pant, but I'll
if I do like a little upper body weight sesh
and I didn't sweat a hell of a lot,
I might reuse the top for a sweaty cardio sesh or something.
There you go.
So that's you.
You're reusing the jeans.
No, no, not me.
I'm not the undies though.
Yuck.
That's men.
That's got to be men.
Young Australians are more likely to squeeze multiple wears
out of their underwear,
with 30% admitting to doing this,
while 36% say that they do the same with their gym gear.
So it's not necessarily men, it's younger Australians.
Oh, guys, yuck.
What are you doing?
Gen Z also admitted to having a chair in their room,
which will become a chair for something else later in life,
that they put clothes on that are too clean to wash
but not clean enough to put back in the wardrobe.
Oh, yeah.
So it's like a transit point for semi...
Do you do that?
No, I don't, but Aaron does.
This is the thing,
because we've often had a chair in our room
and we don't at the moment,
and that chair becomes Aaron's wardrobe
and now I've been looking for a nice
chair to sit in the corner and face
the bed and
I know that that's going to become, that's going to
be used as his wardrobe. That'll be Aaron's
chair too. Well that's Aaron's chair.
That's where I sit and watch Jason Marmott
presumably destroy it.
Do whatever he wants to do. You've got to have
a chair. What is Aaron going to stand in the corner?
That's rude
How bizarre
That's rude to make him stand
Save money on the chair in your bedroom
And just bring in a stool from the kitchen
Oh I could bring in a dining chair
Aaron's got a bad back
He can't be sat on a stool for too long
Yeah but then you're not going to end up
With the washing constantly on the chair
It would really interrupt the flow though
If I was having a fun time
and Aaron's dragging in a dining chair,
you know, down the hall.
You guys just keep going,
oh, well, you've ruined it now.
Get in your nice comfy chair.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I literally woke up this morning
because if I've had a busy weekend
and I did have quite a, like,
a full-on busy weekend,
I find it so hard to get to sleep on Sunday.
It's like the opposite.
I'm so tired that I just lay in bed.
So I woke up this morning to come to work,
and I've already made the decision that I'm only here temporarily.
Like I'm here as a small reprieve from my sleep,
only to return at about 10 o'clock.
Right, so you're having a nap.
Yeah, it's a nap day today.
Yeah, naps rule. It's nap day.
So I need
a good night's sleep. And there is an interesting
survey that is also tied up
with a game people are playing online.
So this survey found that 85% of women
would choose
a good night's sleep over
having a big O.
A big pleasurable...
Oprah.
Oprahgasm.
Not Oprahgasm.
Okay.
Right.
85% would choose a good night's sleep over that.
That is a huge number of people.
Yeah.
I mean, you know that you can have both though, right?
You just go to bed early.
I find one generally helps the other.
100%. Yeah. So then there's this game that's been played online. You can have both though, right? You just go to bed early. I find one generally helps the other.
100%. Yeah.
So then there's this game that's been played online,
eight hours sleep or.
And so you play, you try to find something
that you would prefer over eight hours sleep.
Okay.
So some examples.
Eight hours sleep or being best friends of Taylor Swift.
Eight hours sleep. Eight hours sleep or being best friends of Taylor Swift Eight hours sleep
Eight hours sleep or
Being pursued by Brad Pitt
Eight hours sleep
I'm already jumping
Eight hours sleep or
An official end to mansplaining
Eight hours sleep
Sometimes I need help
Eight hours sleep or being able to eat all the cheese
Without any negative impact
on your health.
You've jumped?
Cheese.
I'm back, baby.
Okay, here's an easy one.
Eight hours sleep
or an unlimited supply
of confidence and money.
I'll take just the money.
I don't need to be confident.
Yeah, you can just be tired and rich.
What would,
because you,
so you never get to sleep
eight hours again.
Yeah.
But then why do I not really ever sleep eight hours again? Yeah. But then why?
I don't really ever sleep eight hours as it is.
Well, Fletch, you have prioritised sleep over the last year.
Oh, yeah.
I get about seven, I guess about eight hours every day, yeah.
What would take, what would you give up to,
like what would take you away from eight hours sleep?
A delicious...
I don't know, like...
What about private chef for the rest of your life?
No, I'd just rather cook my own meals.
Okay.
Eight hours sleep or you can eat whatever you want
and you still keep a lean fit physique.
I've jumped, I've jumped.
You've jumped. Yeah. I mean, that would be great, wouldn't it? physique. I've jumped. I've jumped. You've jumped.
Yeah.
I mean, that would be great, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Nah, sleep.
Oh my God.
Because you feel so much better.
You feel so much better.
Yeah, I know, but why feel better?
You could just look good.
It doesn't matter.
You look good, but just be really tired all the time.
Eight hours sleep, but no, you can, eight hours sleep or you can drink as much as you
like and you never have a hangover.
How great would that be? How good would hangover. How great would that be?
How good would that be?
How good would that be?
Anyway, well, orgasms, apparently,
they're not as important to us as eight hours sleep.
This is an article I didn't write, by the way.
I'm just reporting it.
These are not my words.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
From the panoramic ZM think tank
This is the top six
Margot Robbie's production company Lucky Chap
Apparently getting the rights to a Sims movie
Because it was her production company that made Barbie
Correctamundo
How much money did she make from Barbie?
Lots
Like not just appearing in it,
but she would have had some kind of residuals, right?
Yeah.
Oh, good on her.
Because she picked it up from the last company
that was doing it with Amy Schumer,
and it wasn't going great.
I don't think it had even really got past.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you know that Lucky Chap also did Salt Burn?
Oh, okay.
Yes, I did know that.
Right.
That Margot hit her fingers in that pie.
A little bit of Salt Burn.
So they're the ones to go to.
And the director associated with the product, he did Loki.
Right.
For Disney+, which has become Disney+,'s most watched original program.
Oh, I've never heard of it.
Loki.
So Tom Hiddleston's character from the Marvel Universe.
They will be absolutely chomping at the bit
to make the Sims movie, though,
because Barbie currently has made $1.446 billion
at the box office.
Margot Robbie made $12.5 million just for her acting.
I just got a chill down my spine.
It's insane.
I thought she'd already made $50 million in the early stages of it.
The stories that were coming out at the end of last year were saying she'd make about $50 million.
Well, the top six is the top six things that better happen in this Sims movie or there'll be trouble.
Do you know I've never played Sims?
You played SimCity, though, eh?
Oh, my God.
Nah, like I've seen it played. I've never played SimCity played SimCity though, eh? Oh my God. Nah, like I've seen it played.
I've never played SimCity.
Nah.
Oh, it's so good.
Like I know what it's about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've seen like friends playing it and stuff,
but I'm just like, I've just never had it.
I might start again.
I only played one iteration of The Sims, I think.
It was the first one.
It was the worst one.
Four was where it was at.
Yeah, four was where it peaked.
Yeah.
Everybody seems to rave about four
Four was it
Okay
Top six things that better happen in this Sims movie
Number six
Multiple polyamorous bisexual relationships
Oh yeah
And babies all over town that you want nothing to do with
Oh my god yes
Yeah
All
I would always start
My relationships heterosexual
Yeah
And I'm embarrassed to say that.
Yeah.
But then soon she would get bored.
And she would be like, have a friend over.
She'd need to spread her wings.
And then you've got to like work it out until you can flirt with them.
And then we're woohooing all day long.
Do you think it would be embarrassing if like your Sims,
some kind of like history or something of your Sims playing came out for the world to see?
Oh, 100% of those released the stats.
You get locked up in a psych ward, I reckon.
Why do you keep murdering these poor people?
I googled craziest things people have done to Sims,
and there's no shortage of articles of people confessing what they've done.
Number five on the list is actually one from one of those articles.
Somebody revealing the, you can woohoo them to death.
Now, woohoo is where you.
You deplete their energy.
Yeah.
You get down to business.
Woohoo.
Very exciting times for the Sims.
Oh, is that what they call woohoo?
Yeah, it's woohoo.
Okay.
You have a woohoo, which you can deplete their energy and literally like drain their life force.
Wow.
Yeah.
What a way to go though, eh?
Oh, I'd absolutely love to shag myself to death.
Which can't happen to humans because Fletch has tried.
Yeah, go on.
He tried.
God, he's trying.
He was trying on the weekend.
This is unbelievable.
This is ridiculous.
Slanderous.
I'm slanderous.
That's why you didn't want to meet up with me for a drink.
Oh, yeah, I said no to having a drink with him.
No, because I was having a boo-thru weekend.
He was having a woo-hoo.
No, he wasn't.
He wasn't having a woo-hoo.
He was having a little woo-hoo.
Number four on the list of the top six things
that better happen in the Sims movie.
Build a pool.
Let the Sim get in the pool.
Take away the ladder.
Oh.
How do they?
And have them going flug and rug and do and how
to the gods.
Yeah.
And they're just stuck in there and they're swimming around.
Oh, great.
Until their energy depletes.
Do you reckon the movie will be in Simlish with subtitles?
So I was thinking, do you remember there was a Tom Cruise movie
where he played a German and it started in German
and then it did this crossover fade.
The German faded out and the English faded up
and then the rest of the movie was in English.
Oh, interesting.
That could be how it happens, right?
Like it's got a translate filter on.
Yeah.
Or can they talk in English
but is there an accent
to the sims?
Nah.
It's kind of American-ish.
Yeah.
Redag and ho.
Weird.
Or like Sweden,
American.
Yeah, it's strange.
Number three on the list
of the top six things
that better happen
in a sim movie.
Every sim constantly
wetting themselves
in the kitchen.
Take away their ability
to wee.
Yeah, yeah. No toilet in that house. Yeah. And then you make. Take away their ability to wee. Yeah, yeah.
No toilet in that house.
Yeah.
And then you make them mop it up like a dog.
Yeah.
You dirty.
Yeah.
Look what you did.
Now I'm like embarrassed.
There's puddles everywhere.
Number two on the list of the top six things that better happen in a Sim movie.
One of the Sims better be generated into a one-by-one house
with no features and no doors
that they can never get out.
And they just go crazy.
They go crazy.
And then a little tombstone appears.
Yeah.
And number one on the list of the top six things
that happen in the Sims movie,
house fires.
Always house fires.
Always.
I'm sorry.
I just spent the whole day
becoming proficient in cooking. I know, but yeah, I just spent the whole day becoming proficient in cooking.
I know, but yeah, I know.
But somehow something's going to catch fire.
Who do you reckon in this movie
is going to play the Grim Reaper?
Because that was always the fun bit.
The Grim Reaper turning up.
Was that you'd kill them
and then the Grim Reaper would like
literally like walk down the street,
come into the house
and come and get you
and turn you into a tombstone.
Someone like John
Malkovich. Oh,
great casting.
I used to be a casting
agent. Oh my god.
I was thinking it was
going to be a more comical John C. Reilly
sort of. Or like
Rebel Wilson or something. Will Ferrell.
Seth Rogen. Yes.
Seth Rogen would be a good reaper. But John Malkovich is inspired.
Yeah, I'm taking The Sims movie quite seriously, guys.
Very seriously.
Oh, actually, great suggestion from producer Jared, Matt Berry.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
He'd be great.
With the voice.
Yes, it's time to go.
I'm coming to claim your soul.
That is today's Subsex.
Play. ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM's.
Well, let's pop on down to Te Amuti.
Why not?
A myriad of reasons.
You're a local.
I mean, it's your region.
It is my region, but it's also like's the other side of the region so you don't
You've got a rivalry
Yeah totally it's another small Waikato town
Where we'd all back each other up
Against other provinces
Right
But there's competition within the small towns
I had no idea of your beef
With Te Arawa
Mata Mata, Te Arawa
Cambridge Big beef with Cambridge But Cambridge is the pop Beef with Te Ao Mutu. Mata Mata, Te Aroha. All right.
Cambridge. I'd go Mata Mata.
Big beef with Cambridge.
Yeah, but I can...
Cambridge is gorgeous.
Gorgeous, very posh.
The trees.
Very gorgeous.
You're from Morangsu.
You've got no leg to stand on.
Yeah, no offense.
You don't have Hobbiton.
Yeah, you're not quite there.
No, we don't have Hobbiton.
You've got giant cows and that's it.
Yeah.
Yeah, we've got the cows.
That's a thing.
But it was in Te Aoutu that a mother was her 10-month-old baby
chewing on garlic bread.
Now, I'm not sure of when we first gave our kids garlic bread,
but I don't know if it was under a couple of years old.
Wow.
What an incredible palate, though, this 10-month-old has.
Sucking on a big, yummy, buttery bit of garlic bread.
Yum.
Well, that's when this 10-month-old child
indicates that there's something in their mouth
and the mother fishes out of their mouth.
I didn't know that it ate a rat's foot.
Shut up.
They didn't just find it in the bread.
It was in the kid's mouth.
No, it was in the kid's mouth.
In the story I read,
she said that she kind of like
fished it out of his mouth
I'd happily eat a bug
do you know what I mean
yeah
but a rat
this mum has a great
a rat's foot
where's the rest of the rat
it's an incredible photo
you can see like
oh my god
I need to see this
like it's a
it's like she did
she pinched it eh
it's like she went to a two zoom
and then a little bit further away
and really
the detail on that I'd love to know what phone she's got it must be the latest She did. She pinched it, eh? It was like she went to a two zoom and then a little bit further away and really focused it on the rat foot.
I'd love to know what phone she's got.
It must be the latest iPhone or Samsung.
Ooh!
It's yucky.
Yuck!
Yeah, rat's feet are just nasty.
And it's kind of been ripped off, right?
Like it's...
Yeah, and it's got long toenails.
Ooh!
Yuck!
Yuck!
Now, this
wasn't in a loaf of your
go-to Mama Fia rallies. I'll say it was
not my go-to
garlic bread. It was not Mama Fia rallies.
It was not my go-to garlic bread.
It was just dry. Yours would be too dry.
It's not dry.
Nobody's
feeding a baby your dry garlic bread.
Yeah, that's a choking hazard.
It's got to be moist.
Well, yeah, the baby would have some issue, but no.
No, it was just like the supermarket's default non-labeled garlic bread.
Right.
But I still don't think they make it.
It'll be made by someone else.
So they've recalled it, haven't they?
Yes, they have.
I just can't.
I know.
The photo is so rough.
It's such a nasty
like amputation
of the foot as well.
I don't know.
Have we noticed
that there's,
I don't want to accuse it
of being a pube,
but there is definitely
a one single dark hair
in there as well.
Why do you show me that again?
I saw that photo yesterday and that was enough.
Where's the rest of it?
Where's the rest of it?
That's my question.
Is that mullied up in other garlic breads?
Mullied.
Is this the Ratatouille equivalent of when a foot washes up on a beach in New Zealand
and they're like, anybody missing a foot?
Yeah.
Where's the rest of that?
It is, yeah.
That's the Ratatouille version.
The bloody Remy the rat got just too close to the mixer.
And he fell.
Took his foot.
Oh, yuck.
I don't want this to put me off garlic bread because I love my garlic bread.
Oh, nothing will do that.
You could literally bring in a loaf now and it'd be like, yum.
Yeah, yeah, yum.
So Foodstuffs has recalled,
now it's a batch of pre-packaged garlic bread from stores.
The spokesman said the customer called the supermarket on Friday.
The batch was taken off the shelves straight away.
This was RNZ reporting.
Of course.
22 hours ago.
It's a bit of a kind of surprise situation though.
You've got the foot, you kind of want the rest of the rat.
Yes.
You know?
Where is the rest of it?
The garlic bread, according to Foodstuffs,
was made by a third-party supplier
and it arrived in store fully wrapped and sealed.
Could we just go to the producer's booth, please?
Jared.
Jared, why don't you just tell us what you just messaged?
I believe I'd had that Foodstuffs garlic bread on Saturday night.
It was extra crunchy this time I mean if only your job was to be all over the news
And read it
I mean maybe you would have found your way to the story
When did this break?
Saturday?
I thought it was Sunday
Saturday, Sunday?
I don't know, that's upsettingly close
You didn't choke on any furry bits at any stage?
No, I didn't,
but the middie had the majority of it,
so I'll flick her a text.
She's a material.
She's eating an animal.
She might have broken her vegetarian streak.
With a rat?
Yeah.
They always say it's like bacon or cheeseburgers
that get people back.
Turns out it was a rat for her.
Oh, yuck.
Okay.
Well, if you do have any...
Can we do something nicer after this?
Like, Jared, you can take it back and they'll sort you out with a refund
if you're worried about that.
Okay.
Yuck.
That's a little bit yuck.
Play.
Zidim's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fletchvorn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole,
silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Who keeps the ring in a broken engagement
is today's silly little pole question.
We ask these, by the way, if you're listening and you think,
where do I vote on this silly little pole?
You just got to follow our Instagram account.
F-V-H-Z-M on Instagram.
We put them up as a story.
You'll see the story.
You vote in the poll.
You can give us a little feedback and that's how it works.
Yeah.
56% of people.
Which way do you think this is going to go?
Who gets to keep the ring in a broken engagement? It's 56 to 44.
The person who gets it
just keeps it because it's over. They've probably had it
for a while. I mean, you don't give back
all gifts when you split.
That's the legal
wording of it as well, right?
It was a gift.
Yeah, so they get to keep it.
Yeah.
It is a gift, eh?
Yeah.
I think so.
It's a gift.
It's not a joint purchase.
56% of people say the proposer gets it back.
44% says the receiver keeps it.
It's still quite split, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's close.
I'd give it back to Aaron if we didn't go ahead with our proposal.
Yeah. But what if you were with
someone and they were a real dirty dog?
Then he can get in the trash and I'll take him for everything he's worth.
And boom, bingo. Yeah.
Sophie, depends. If the
proposal cheated or treated you horribly,
you can keep it. If it's a mutual breakup,
then you give it back. Yeah.
Right. Angelic.
Angelique.
You really hit the gel. Angel Right. Angelic. Angelique. You really hit the gel.
Angelique.
Angelique.
Angelique.
Yeah.
Angelique.
From a legal perspective, it's considered a gift,
so the receiver gets to keep it.
Family lawyer here.
It's like she was just part of the conversation we had.
Yeah.
But if parties are civil.
Wait, are we pretty much lawyers now?
Because we said exactly what a family lawyer does.
Did we just get a law degree?
We just did law. We did law, guys. Did we just get a law degree? We did law, guys.
Did we just do four years of law?
Put on your funny wig because you just got admitted to the bar.
Because do all of them wear funny wigs?
Nah.
They do for like their graduation and stuff.
Right.
And the big courts, they wear the funny wigs.
It screams itchy to me.
Oh, yeah, that's horrible.
I would want to put like cut up a tea towel the perfect size of my head.
Oh, my God, especially on a bald head, right?
And then I'd put that on my head, like the tea towel,
and that would soak up the sweat.
And then I'd put the funny lawyer wig on top.
But you'd see the little edge of the gingham.
Maybe a bit of a chamois cloth.
Oh, like some Repco or something.
No, no, no, microfiber, though, because if you had little cuts or little texture in your Oh, like some Repco or something.
No, no, no, microfiber though,
because if you had little cuts or little texture in your head,
it's going to snag.
Okay.
A silk bonnet, like I sleep in.
But then that wouldn't stop the sweat.
I'm giving up law, guys.
I'm sorry.
It's too hard. The wigs are too hard to navigate.
She says, but if the parties are civil and amicable on separation,
the ring is sometimes returned,
and separating couples are hardly ever amicable, LOL.
What about if it's a family ring?
What about if you give that back?
Unless they absolutely did you over,
and then I'd take great pride in melting it down. I'd melt down Nana's ring, eh?
Take that, Nana's ring.
Gel, you'll remember Angelique.
Now, this is gel.
This is just straight gel.
Receiver keeps it unless it's an heirloom or unless they broke it off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People are just coming in just a second after we have that conversation.
Hayden says, it depends who broke it up.
Whoever breaks the engagement, the other person gets it.
Oh, yeah.
That's just a flat rule even.
I would,
if you're planning
on breaking up with someone,
is get the ring off them
and say,
hey, I'm just going to take this
for cleaning or reshit,
whatever.
And then you've got it.
You lost it.
You get the clause
looked at for insurance.
The dumpee gets it,
says Sophia.
Okay.
Not the dumper,
the dumpee,
whoever breaks it off.
Who got dumped.
The other person gets it.
That's an interesting legal perspective.
I got engaged three years ago, but then it didn't work out,
so I'm not bothered about getting the engagement ring back, says Dylan.
Yeah, just let it go.
I mean, maybe it didn't work out.
Yeah, but what if it was like 10 grand?
But what is the resale on engagement rings?
Like decent engagement rings.
I don't know.
If you bought a $10,000 ring, what are you going to get out of it?
I'd wear a second-hand engagement ring.
I always said that to Aaron.
I happily have a second-hand one.
But a lot of people are late-night and they're cursed.
Yeah.
Really?
You know, because it didn't work.
It's a present to wear to symbolise a commitment between two people
rather than it being a payment for a transaction of future marriage,
says Nina. If it was a payment for a transaction of future marriage, says Nina.
If it was a super quick breakup after the engagement, I'd say it makes more sense to give it back.
However, if it was a long while into it, it's her ring now.
Soz.
Yeah.
Soz.
Michelle, if it's broken up because it's not working, you absolutely give the ring back.
But if he got caught cheating, then you keep the ring.
From a legal perspective, here's another lawyer that listens to the show.
This one's called Charlene.
We do law too, Charlene.
Yeah.
From one lawyer to another.
Wait, so we're back doing law again?
Yes.
Because I sold the wig.
I kept the wig.
But the wig was the biggest issue.
I'm just doing law.
I'm just doing mostly office-based law.
You're just doing bald law?
Yeah.
Just bald. I'm doing bald office law.
We're going raw, raw, raw law.
From a legal perspective,
the engagement is given on the promise of marriage.
Will you marry me?
If that promise isn't fulfilled,
the ring is given back.
If the promise of marriage is fulfilled,
but a divorce happens later,
down the track,
the ring belongs to the receiver.
I would like to see Angelique
and Charlene go head tohead in a court of law.
This is like a TV show.
Yeah.
Lawyer Off.
Lawyer Off, yeah.
Great reality TV show.
I mean, that's just every court case.
New Zealand's next top lawyer.
Oh.
Yes.
I'll host it.
Love it.
And we just have a fictional court case.
We actually weren't going to have a host.
We were just going to do voiceover.
No hosting it.
Yeah, we're not doing a host.
No, no, no.
No host.
Don't need a host. We were just going to do voiceover. No hosting it. Yeah, we're not doing a host. No, no, no. No host. Don't need a host. Welcome to New Zealand's hottest lawyer off.
Nah.
The great hot lawyer off.
Nah.
I think we'll just go voiceover.
Yeah.
Look, sweetheart, you stick to the cookies.
It's cool.
You stick to the cookies and the cakes, eh?
This got a bit confusing for you, didn't it?
Yeah, I got lost.
All the words got involved.
On your marks, get set, lore!
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. What the heck? Yeah, I got lost. Words got involved. On your marks, get set, lore! This is play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
What the heck?
What the heck?
So apparently, since 2019... God.
Take me back to the rainbow.
2019 was good.
I was tight.
I was keeping it tight.
I had no idea what was about to happen.
My mortgage was tight. I was keeping it tight. I had no idea what was about to happen. My mortgage was manageable.
Hadn't over leveraged at all.
I know, because when did we say the first lockdown date was?
Was it?
Last week.
20 something of March 2020.
Insane.
So that was four years ago.
I know.
I remember it well.
Well, so since 2019, apparently, this is in Australia,
they have seen a 20% increase in passengers aged 18 to 35 on-
Passages.
Passages.
Passengers.
Hey, 25th of March.
Happy four years ago lockdown today.
Oh my God, I'm feeling triggered.
Would you rather
go back
and do it all again or eat that
rat foot in the garlic bread?
You have to eat the rat foot. I've got to do it all again.
Rat foot. I'd eat the rat foot
once. I'd eat the rat foot. I'd swallow it whole.
The garlic bread rat foot once
rather than go back and do all of that again.
As a sociable butterfly, I did not thrive in
lockdowns. Other than physically. Because I was butterfly, I did not thrive in lockdowns.
Other than physically.
Because I was hiding from my problems in the garage lifting weights.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is an increase in young people on cruise ships.
So from 2019, and then like in that whole time since 2019,
man, cruise ships did it hard in the COVID times.
Well, yeah, I mean, they're petri dishes. Even pre-COVID like gastro bugs and
what's that one? Noro.
Noro virus. That'll spread around a cruise ship
real quick. We all remember the images of
cruise ships floating in the harbour
unable to dock because
they were riddled with COVID and people were like, I'm sorry
you can't. They were parked up, eh?
Yeah, they were parked up. Because where are they all registered
to for tax purposes?
Oh, a different place. Panama or the Bahamas. Yeah, so they all registered to for tax purposes? Oh, a different place.
Yeah, Panama, the Bahamas.
Yeah, so they all had to go up there, right, and just like anchor.
Yeah, but apparently young people, 18 to 35, just got in.
Just got in.
A few more months.
Yeah.
Have been buying these tickets and going on cruises.
Now, you did a Disney cruise at the end of last year.
It was free.
I liked it way more than I thought I was going to.
I was never a big cruise dude.
But you're a Disney nerd.
Yeah.
The Disney aspect of it was cool.
Okay.
We never got off the ship once we were on it.
I think one of those ones where you can get off the ship would be good.
Yeah.
Where you port, you go and you get a little bit of culture. do the or even if like you see some of them and you can just go down to
like a low deck and like swim off the back of them oh really yeah yeah yeah and stuff oh yeah right
the ability to do that that would be a good thing well the whole the whole point i gotta say my dudes
the eating's pretty good i know this is what i what I feel. I like to eat. I like to eat.
It doesn't appeal to me.
I feel like it's something you do later in life.
So the average age of passengers on cruise ships now,
with this increase, is 49.
Whereas it used to be much more your retirees and whatnot.
But then also, Producer Shannon, you went on the cruise
because your boyfriend was the magician on the cruise.
So you got a free cruise and went with him.
Yeah, over Christmas.
But also, is it the ship that's going around the longest cruise ship in the world?
That was in Auckland, what, last month?
Yeah, and I've been following that religiously on TikTok.
And there's a lot of young people on that, isn't there?
Yeah, it's definitely like, it's quite cost effective if you make the most of it.
Yeah, that's the main thing. They say it's an
easy, cheap, flop and drop holiday.
Yeah, and like you definitely
you know, when we
ported every day, we could still eat for free
on the cruise ship so we would make sure we would
eat and then go off and then come back.
But food is why I travel.
Did you make some sandwiches and put them in your handbag?
Exactly.
No, no, there's like buffets and stuff.
But yeah, I think it would become an expensive trip
if you didn't make the most of it.
But if you were smart, you can definitely make your money back.
And I loved it.
Just get your money's worth, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I've never been on one,
so I can't just sit here and be like, it's not for me.
How would I know?
You know?
I mean, certainly places that
like the Caribbean islands to just jump
in between each island and fly around
is sometimes impossible or so
expensive. It is the best way to see
parts of the world like that. Yeah, totally. I just feel
like I'd get a bit claustrophobic
and end up like jumping off the back
or something and like swimming
to shore and being like, just keep
my stuff. You've never thought that could be a possible career
like for you in the future?
Do you know what I did?
A singer on a cruise?
Yeah, when I was in Wellington, Matt Mulholland,
who is a comedian and a musician.
Yeah, probably most well known for the recorder,
bad recorder.
Yeah.
Is that him?
Yeah.
Oh, that's hilarious.
So we used to like jam together a little bit.
And he asked me once.
He was like, he used to do cruises and stuff.
And he was like, do you want to come and play as part of the band?
And I was like, maybe.
But it didn't work with marching.
So I just never got to do it.
And you're not allowed to sleep with the passengers.
Unbelievable.
But some of the stage shows.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, no.
No, apparently not. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, no. No, apparently not.
Oh, my God.
It's literally called a cruise.
I think that's just what they used to say back in the day
where it was way older people because the old ladies would be like,
oh, hello.
I'm actually not allowed to sleep with passengers.
I wish I could.
I wish I did.
I wish I could.
Oh, yes, Beryl.
Absolutely.
I'd love to see what you've got going on down there.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Instagram, it came out over the weekend,
has changed some settings in an update
that means you could have your political content limited.
This, I didn't even know it had happened
until I saw a friend posting about it.
Because obviously a lot of social media has been about, you know, Gaza and-
The ongoing conflicts in the world.
The ongoing conflicts there.
And then if you can't see it, it's like out of sight, out of mind.
Yeah.
Then you're just getting like other things, like your rocks.
Like rocks and like fluff and like funny dances and stuff.
And you're like, what war?
There is no war.
Everyone's happy just like me.
And then you don't know the things that are happening.
So I've just gone into my settings looks different.
I've got an article open that says how to stop limits on political content on Instagram.
So you go to settings and then content preferences, but mine wasn't called that.
Mine was called suggested content.
Okay.
All right.
And under that, I could see political content, sensitive content, and it is only limiting
political content from people that I don't follow.
You might see fewer political or social topics in your suggested content.
Right.
So that's the limit I'm getting. But so sometime at the end of last week or over the weekend, Instagram automatically
put this on for everybody. Yes. Okay. Yes. Well yeah,
if you're politically minded or you want to know what's going on in the world,
you want to make sure that's turned back on. So apparently it will
limit any posts on Instagram that mention governments, elections, or social topics by keyword.
Right.
Which is, I've seen some people talking about this on social media, saying they're just trying to get the algorithm back and misspelling words like political and things like that.
So it hopefully skirts it to be like,
this is how you can change your content back.
So why did they change it in the first place?
Was it to limit like misinformation?
Yeah, but why didn't they do that?
Why now?
But later.
There's a lot of thoughts that it's just trying to limit the exposure
of like horrendous things happening in Gaza.
And if it disappears
from people's social feed, they might be under
the impression that
it's slowing down, whereas it's just ramping
up. But it's only
from people you don't know.
Yeah, which I don't like to see
anything from people I don't know.
It just says limit the political content from people
you don't know. I'm like, who do you think you are? A person I don't know. Yeah. It just says like limit the political content for people you don't know.
I'm like,
who do you think you are?
A person I don't know?
Yeah.
Get out of here.
But then that's how you would have found
a lot of the content
that you do follow
as it would have been
suggested to you.
Yeah, that's true.
You know, so what, yeah.
Fossils, for example.
Yeah.
Yeah, fossils.
Christian content.
All your acts.
You love your acts
competitions on Instagram,
don't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. World shopping. Irish dancing costumes. Yeah competitions on Instagram, don't you?
Yeah, wood chopping.
Irish dancing costumes.
How would I have, you know, followed that?
If it hadn't been suggested to you.
If it hadn't been suggested.
People who maybe rank slightly higher on the good-looking scale.
I think that's something we can all get on board with. Do you think that's maybe what they should have done to help relationships
over the weekend is turn hot models off?
And you had to opt to turn hot models back on, Vaughan.
Have they turned my hot models off?
Have they turned off hot models?
There's a hot model setting.
They've turned off the hotties?
Anyone between a nine and a ten, off.
I know, that's probably why people haven't been able to see my posts.
But then do your eights become a 10 then, technically?
That's what I mean.
It's to lower your standards.
So that's all we know is now
hot people are 8s.
The hottest you're likely to see is an
old 8, new 10. And then you see a 10
in the wild and you're like, what?
You lot still exist?
What? I saw it 20
out of 10 on the weekend. Did you? Far
out. I almost
yelled, Bondsmith!
Yeah, I heard.
She was made for you.
Okay. She belongs to another.
I don't want to talk about it.
Play ZDM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZDM. My warrant of fitness expired on the 14th of January
You are one of the most organised people
You're up there with a very organised person
Yeah, I'm pretty good
You would be like, unlike Vaughan who's absolute chaos
What?
I have like, I can just split
Like, I am very organised and I'm busy and I schedule things
and then like my car is always a mess or like the wardrobe's a mess
or like my body's a mess.
So something has to...
Something has to go.
Something has to give.
And it's been my car for the last...
When did I learn to drive?
17.
So like a good number of years.
Anyway, I finally booked in to get my warrant.
I did book in a couple of weeks ago
and then I just forgot.
I didn't bring the car.
And then, so I'm booked.
But I just realised this morning,
because I had a busy weekend,
I didn't feel, I cleaned the whole house yesterday.
Like, you know, like when you're a kid
and you clean your room and you keep leaving
and coming back in to see how nice it looks? That's what I
did yesterday. That's good.
Aaron was trying to have a
little relax on the bed and I was like,
Aaron, come here. And he was like, what? And then I just
walked him into the space and he was like,
what? And I was like, looks good, eh?
So I was cleaning the house.
Yeah. I've realised
I've driven into work and I've got to leave
work today and go straight to the
mechanics and then Aaron's going to pick me up
there. I've realised
Are you going to rob?
Am I what? Are you going to rob?
I made a suggestion of like a mechanic
QMU
RNS
No!
It's like that time she got her own cobbler
I had my own cobbler she got her own cobbler. You made a suggestion.
I had my own cobbler long before your suggested cobbler.
He's got a cobbler.
I've got a great cobbler.
I've got my Birkenstocks recobbled.
You sent those away, though.
You didn't go to your cobbler.
Yeah, I've got a new cobbler.
You've got a new cobbler?
I've got two cobblers.
I'm sorry.
You've got two cobblers?
You did not inform us there was a new cobbler.
I've got two cobblers.
No.
No one needs two cobblers.
You only need one cobbler. If the cobbler's good enough, you only need one cobbler. I've got two cobblers? You did not inform us there was a new cobbler. I've got dual cobblers. No. No one needs two cobblers. You only need one cobbler.
If the cobbler's good enough, you only need one cobbler.
I've got two cobblers.
My cobbler's number one, marching boot specialist.
I'm the only in the island.
And old villagers.
I'm talking old European 1800 village.
Never two cobblers.
No, there's one.
There's a blacksmith.
There's a cobbler.
Yeah.
Okay, we need to talk about your new cobbler.
It's actually not on.
I'm starting to think, though, that Vaughn's suggestions aren't up your alley.
No, well, I just went to the same guy I went to last time,
which I'm not sure if it's the right one.
Doesn't sound like it.
I don't know.
They all do the same thing, don't they?
I drove through Kumi once and I saw a mechanic and I said,
you hereforth shall be my mechanic.
Did they have a nice sign?
No, no mechanics have nice signs. Some of my mechanic. Did they have a nice sign? No, no mechanics have nice signs.
Some of them do.
Rob's got a nice sign.
Does Rob have a nice sign, does he?
Okay, well, why don't you...
Shall I cancel?
I mean, for it's so overdue at this point,
what does it even matter?
Because you know that you're going to get tickets
having no wife and also...
Haven't got a ticket yet from parking in your house
for three days.
Doesn't it avoid your insurance if you have a crash?
Correct, yes.
Why don't you, oh, shut up.
So you have to pay your, to have
your car fixed and also out of your own pocket
to have the other car fixed if it's your fault. But what if I'm like
got no money?
They'll find it. Anyway, so I'm going to drop it
off. But the problem and the question I guess I have is
are you allowed to get a
warrant if your entire
boot is jam filled with
crap and I'm talking
I've got two massive
like kind of big click clack
storage boxes full of
goods to donate
I've had donation stuff in my car
for ages but I got embarrassed
that there was so much of it so I was drip
feeding it across the city
I didn't want to walk into one shop
and dump like four boxes of crap.
Why is that embarrassing?
I don't know.
I felt embarrassed.
It's so weird.
Because you're wasteful.
It was like,
then I just was like offloading my stuff onto them.
Right.
So I did like a box here
and then I did a bag there
and then I saw like a bougie one.
I was like,
you can have my nice clothes
and I've still got these two massive boxes.
You just park up next to a clothing bin.
Carwen agrees, Carwen says she's embarrassed too.
You have to do one bag per person.
I know you do.
Why are you embarrassed to donate clothes?
I don't know why.
It's just kind of awkward to be like,
here's like five bags of my stuff.
Here's all of my stuff.
And it's mixed.
Like some of my stuff is like,
I could definitely sell it on Trade Me
and make money from it,
but I can't be bothered.
Is this the closest that
women will ever get to admitting that they have a problem with
not wearing clothes that many times or
even wearing them full stop? Yeah, definitely.
But I don't
know why. It's icky to me.
Would you be embarrassed to stop at a clothing bin
that's just on the side of the road
and then put all your stuff in there? No, no, no. That's good.
Go to like a supermarket car park.
They're always like at the end of the car park.
Yeah.
Huff it all in.
I know, but it's not.
I've got household goods.
I've got like, it's not all clothing.
Yeah.
So it's all jammed into the boot
because I gave you guys a ride the other day.
So your question is,
because they do need to check the spare tyre.
That's one of the what-wha things, isn't it?
That you've got a spare?
I still don't have one.
Is it a warrant for this trip? You've got to have a spare. So they'll need
to lift up that flat. I don't know. I don't have a spare tyre.
Oh, so someone messaged in, they just need to check
if you've got a spare tyre, so if it's under the boot
then they'll probably empty it. But I don't have
a spare tyre. I could just say to them, I don't have one.
Because that's something I haven't sort of... But you haven't
had a spare tyre for years. Yeah, I've
never had one since this car. Remember, Pack Society sold
me the car. Mazda.
You need to go to like a Mazda wrecker's yard.
Wait, how did you get a warrant last time?
You don't have to have it.
Are you sure?
No.
Do you need a spare?
Do you need a spare?
Because that's the thing.
Also, like, do they check that it's got air in it and stuff?
Because it's going to be no good to you if you break down and put it on.
We're talking about checking the air in an imaginary tyre that I don't possess.
Also, they say you've got to have a spare tyre.
Put a Lego tyre in.
Got ya. It is not
a legal requirement for a motor vehicle to have
a spare wheel. If one is fitted, however,
it must be securely attached
by a device which is in good condition and stored in a
closed compartment. I can't put a spare tyre because
Pax Society
took it out to turn into a swing
and then put in a big speaker system in the back.
And then sold you the car without a tyre.
Sold me the car and saying it was a bloody luxury vehicle.
Okay.
I just don't...
There's no...
I'm just going to have to turn up with it as is.
There's still pistachio shells in the centre console.
They don't penalise you on that.
No.
Well, good luck.
Imagine if you failed
and it was just like,
what did the Warren Fitness fail on?
It's pistachio nuts.
Too many pistachio nuts.
Too many.
In the brake pads.
Yeah.
Right now, though,
we all have that friend
that claims they have this super great sense
You know like
I'm really good at smelling
I can smell COVID
I think you've got COVID on its way
Unless you're friends with a Labrador
Or a Beagle
I've never heard anybody say they can smell COVID
I think it was a dog I was talking to
I think it was a dog I was talking to
Because they do have those dogs that can
sniff cancer. Yeah, I know.
Or sniff when you're going to have a seizure. Those are those
dogs that lots of
people with illnesses have.
And they'll be like, they'll jump on you.
Well, apparently
some people can smell when it's going to rain.
Now, what I do
is I look at the clouds.
And if they're grey as they are containing water,
that's how I know.
However, some people can smell it.
So there's two types of smells that they can smell.
Petrichor is a kind of a bitter smell
that smells a lot like stones and soil, they say. Right.
And they say lots of people can smell this.
It's like when rain is literally
about to drop. And as I say,
you'd be able to just look at the clouds. Do you remember when the concrete
used to make a noise when it rained?
A noise? Do you remember when the concrete used to make
a cricket noise? No.
Sounds like you've got some bad concrete.
Have you got budget concrete?
We used to have concrete growing up and always just remember when it had been hot and then it would rain on the concrete, the concrete would make a cricket noise.
Like what?
Like a...
Oh, no, it sounds like you don't have some reinforcement.
Are you sure?
Like a light, crispy, crinkly...
No.
We're talking smells, not noises.
No, I know, but when you said...
Hey, the senses are related
The senses are related
I don't have noisy concrete at my house
No, I've never heard of concrete
But do you think you can smell the rain?
Well, there's petrichor
And then there is another ability
Bigger than this
That can smell rain from like a mile off
And what they can smell, they think
Is some people can smell the ozone
They're like It's a sweeter smell, the ozone.
You're like, better get the washing in.
And ozone, that smell increases when there's a storm on its way.
So some people claim to have the ability to smell rain.
Somebody messaged in, they could smell rain, but it was rain coming, it was plants.
They lived in a glade or a woodland area.
And the plants released some sort of endorphin or chemical preparing themselves for the rain.
Yeah, right.
Because they know it's coming.
And that's how they knew it was going to rain, because the plants were letting off a thing and they could smell that.
I feel though that you'd want to, if people say this, you'd want to see those people blindfolded and tested.
Yeah, totally.
Because you would get a sense looking at clouds.
Like,
well,
you all can see a cloud
and be like,
okay,
rain's coming.
So someone just texted as well,
my partner's type one diabetic.
I can smell
when she has high blood sugar.
The sweeter she smells,
the higher the blood sugar.
Some people can smell ants.
Now,
this is reminding me of a terrible,
this is a,
yeah.
I can smell ants.
I once got my hair done by not, not Shari. Like, this is years and years and years ago Ants. This is a, yeah. I can smell ants. I once got my hair done by not Shari.
Like, this was years and years and years ago.
This is the story you told me yesterday.
Yeah.
Shall I share it?
Yeah, I reckon.
It's wild.
So I was getting my hair done by this guy,
and I was a very, like, camp homosexual male.
Oh, oh.
Cancel.
He was doing my hair.
Okay.
I mean, I actually didn't know, but God, the signs were all there.
Our guys quite good at doing hair, are they?
Yeah.
Oh, fabulous.
It's one of their go-to careers.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
And I don't know why it came up,
but he told me that he has an ability to smell
when a woman is about to menstruate.
And I was like,
so he's like,
Why would you say that to a woman?
I have no idea.
I don't know if he was saying it
because he thought I was about to.
Sweetie, have you got some tampons on board?
Why?
Why?
I can smell.
You're about to get a tinge.
You're about to get a little flick in the right ovary.
It's all sweet.
Yes.
Imagine if you could smell the side.
How bizarre, eh?
Anyway, when he described it to me, he was like, yeah,
women get this sort of metallic smell about them when they're about to do this.
Anyway.
And were you just like taken back?
Yeah, and I can't remember.
It was literally like 15 years ago.
I can't remember if I did ovulate afterwards.
I don't know.
Let's take some calls and get some messages
of the things that you can smell
because people are texting it already.
Okay, well, 0800DARLSATM is the number.
Give us a call.
You can text through 9696.
Someone else can smell when women are about to get their period.
It's another gay.
Well, no, no, no.
I think it's a gay super power.
And can smell menstruating women from afar.
Like a beer or a shot.
Oh, my God.
Okay, 0800-DARLS-AT-M is the number.
9696 to text in.
What can you smell real good?
Clay, ZM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
We want to know what you can smell really well because people can smell the rain.
And the moment I mentioned it, so many people are texting in.
Amber, you are one of these people that can smell the rain a mile away.
So yeah,
I've always been called crazy
for this.
I can smell the rain
and it smells like a
muggy, humid, hard
salty smell.
Salty. Okay.
Because the rain comes from the sea.
It
kind of smells like the hot past on a very hot day
mixed with salt and all that.
Yeah, I remember that smell.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, it's a smell I don't particularly like.
And so do you, this isn't when the rain's like just about to happen.
This could be like an hour away?
Yeah, it could be like an hour.
I'm always like, oh, okay, it's going to rain,
and then like an hour or two later
it starts raining.
And your friends are like,
how did you know?
Yeah, it's like people
just call me crazy for it.
I don't think you're crazy.
When I tell them
that it's going to rain,
I'm like, when it does,
I'm like, I called it.
Yeah, you called it.
I can sniff it.
I love that.
You're like a real life rain rider.
Yeah.
Mums would love you for a washing alert.
Get the washing in.
Get the washing in.
Yep.
Yeah.
Amber, thank you.
Some messages.
I just want to say a side thank you to everybody who messaged in saying they remember when
concrete used to crickle after rain.
Crickle?
Well, if it was hot concrete and rain would hit it, it would make a crickly noise.
Like contracting, do you think?
Do you think it was contracting?
No idea.
Okay.
Ever since having COVID, I can smell smoke for days before I get unwell.
Oh.
So I know I'm going to get sick.
All of a sudden, I'm like, can you guys smell that smoke?
Yeah.
Oh, like a lovely leather and smoke candle.
Yeah.
I am type 1 diabetic, and I can smell high blood sugar or diabetes on other people.
Usually, though, it's people doing keto diet or people that fast.
It's the smell of ketosis.
It's gross.
When I was deep in ketosis, like, years ago, you get a smell.
It's so weird.
It's the weirdest thing.
And you can smell it.
What is the smell?
What does it smell like?
It's not body odour.
It's just an interesting...
Right, you emanate it.
Yeah.
Your breath is just coming out of you.
Yeah, breath and your armpits and stuff.
It smells funny. Andy,
what can you smell?
I can smell women
shredding. Can you? Really?
Are you a homosexual? Are you a gay?
I am. I am.
And I lived
with five women in a flat.
It became very uncomfortable. That's enough to turn anyone
gay, to be honest.
I was straight. I was straight. That's what to turn anyone gay, to be honest. Yeah. I was straight.
I was straight.
Or that's what I thought I was prior to that.
Yeah, yeah.
You went not for me.
It wasn't the best smell.
And now in my workplace, it becomes quite awkward.
I just have to move away.
The scent for me is just too much.
Really?
Yeah.
So what is it?
Is it metal-y?
Well, you know like
I know this sounds bizarre
but the taste of the blood
like when you prick your finger or something
it's that, but in a smell
It's a kind of metallic-y and kind of like
bitter
iron
You guys are lucky that I've got PCOS and I barely
get my period, otherwise you'd have to leave, wouldn't you?
If you were in like a big crowd
Would you smell it in a big crowd
Like if you were at a concert
At Spark Arena or something
And you've got 10,000
Of these women and men
Straighting
Nah but more like
At a party or something
And there's maybe like
20 people or something
I can smell
There's someone in the room
That has
Has the period
Oh my god
That is so wild
What is it about
We did have a message From a straight man He wasn't straight No we just didn't even know That is so wild What is it about?
We did have a message From a straight man
He wasn't straight
He didn't know he was gay yet
He claimed to be straight
He's got a girlfriend
Could be curious
Could be curious
Andy you had a girlfriend
Once didn't you?
Oh my
Once upon a time yeah
Andy
Someone else said
Someone messaged
I work in gynecology
And I can smell chlamydia
On people
Even when I'm out and about
Like at the supermarket
I can smell when people
Have chlamydia
No
Oh my god
It's a bacteria
Is chlamydia bacterial
Yes
What the hell
So bacteria are a living thing
They're releasing
Gas
A thing
That must have a scent
What
Imagine someone being able
To smell that on
Would you tell
Would you tell?
Would you tell them?
Hey, you should probably get some energy about it.
I reckon get a check.
Andy, thank you so much for sharing.
It's so fascinating. I was going to ask Andy if he knew where my menstrual cycle was,
but we're through the phone.
It's on the phone.
Does it work?
No, sorry.
Yeah, it doesn't work over the phone.
Getting to that point where I'm like a little bit worried.
Oh, my goodness gracious me.
Some insane messages coming through.
We want to know what you can smell real good
because some people can smell the rain coming
like a mile away.
A lot of this has to be hormonal, right?
Because you're like a lot of smelling women's moods.
I worked with a guy that could smell when women were horny.
That's a superpower, isn't it?
That is a goddamn superpower.
God, you wouldn't be working with me in this period of my life.
My friend.
Hayley, you reek.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
My friend and her cousin can smell if there's a cockroach about.
What?
A few times they'd both look at each other and say,
can you smell that?
There's a cockroach.
Maybe it's genetic. Maybe it's a family thing. And then they'd find the cockroach. Wow. A few times they'd both look at each other and say, can you smell that? It's a cockroach. Maybe it's genetic.
Maybe it's a family thing and then they'd find the cockroach.
Wow. My wife works in dental. She can smell if people have gum disease
just by walking past them.
Somebody said
my wife smells like bananas
when she's sad.
Well, because maybe she's eating a banana
because they famously cheer you up and make you happy.
She's trying the old banana trick. Maybe he hasn't put two and two together that she's's eating a banana because they famously cheer you up and make you happy. She's trying the old banana trick.
Maybe he hasn't put two and two together that she's just had a banana.
Yeah.
I can smell when it's about to rain.
Sweet smell a mile away.
Also, I'm not gay, but I can smell when a woman is about to menstruate.
So it's not just a gay thing.
Yeah.
So I can tell when my girlfriend is going to be all good.
I can also tell if her friends are or not, which is slightly weird.
But yeah, it's just this like strong metallic smell.
I can smell my son's blood and open wounds.
I can't even smell my own blood.
I just seem to be super tuned into his.
You scratched yourself.
When I worked in a preschool with babies,
I could smell an item of clothing and know exactly what child it belonged to.
Okay.
That's good though because not all parents are labelling those clothes,
are they?
No, they're not.
I'm a type 1 diabetic
and I always get followed by bees.
Because you smell so sweet and delicious.
Because you smell like a sweet little flower.
When I have high blood sugar,
they can smell the sugar in my blood, apparently.
Bees, man.
Amazing.
Bees.
Yeah.
I can smell ants.
Yeah, I could... Dusties. Yeah, that's a common one, isn't it? The ants one. Yeah. I can smell ants. Yeah, I could.
Dusties.
Yeah, that's a common one, isn't it?
The ants one.
Yeah, I smell ants.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Vaughn, Hayley, Fletch.
That's the good one. No.
We'll go with what you started. Hayley, Fletch and Vaughn.
Can we start with, let's go
around, do a little round the circle of
footwear choices. I'd love to start with
footwear. I'll be the opener.
I've gone for a dirty chuck.
Classic.
And a sock that's been washed with other colors too much.
Yes, good.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, I know exactly what you mean.
A kiss of gray.
Don't do that with your pants.
Vaughn?
I've got a well-worn-in Birkenstock that's starting to collapse at the back there by the heel.
Dogs are out.
But super comfy, dogs out. We've got a celebrity
in our midst. I did wonder if it was
appropriate to have dogs out. No problems with that.
Thank you, Jean Black. Also,
you've got a white jean, obviously very new.
Look at the state of your jeans, Vaughan.
They're a little bit dirty. Yeah.
Fletch, you've got a sneaker.
Dirty jeans. We're going to call you
from now on. Dirty jeans.
Dirty jeans, Fletch and Hayley.
Fletch, you've got a sneaker.
Yeah.
Of course.
He's a fit guy.
No socks.
Or the hidden ankle.
The sock.
Oh, there's a sock.
Yeah.
That's a party foul.
Oh, yeah.
Is that good?
They just look ridiculous.
But I get it.
That's ick.
That is an ick.
That's my dude.
I'll hide it away.
You're a growing man.
You should wear a growing sock. Grow up. Oh kind of thing. I'll hide it away. You're a growing man. You should wear a growing sock.
Grow up.
Oh, my turn.
I'm rocking Crocs.
And a tie-dye sock.
And socks.
And I tie-dye them myself.
Do you?
I like to, because I realized I don't like the look of white socks.
I want them to be explosively colorful.
Yeah.
I want them to have party.
I want my socks to be, you know, in a festive mood. Is this what you do as like a hobby? This is all I do. All I do is tie-dye socks
when I'm not rocking. Wow. You rock and you sock. I rock in socks. And the Crocs in full drive mode,
and I'm noticing no gibbets. Okay, so I made a party foul. Apparently, no one told me when I
got to Auckland that I should be rocking these other kinds of, not Crocs.
You don't rock Crocs in Ox.
You rock giblets.
Giblets.
From now on, I'm going to be kicking it in the jibs.
And if anyone's watching from jibs, hook me up, bro.
The jiblets are the decorations for the Crocs.
Oh, now I get it.
You've been in Auckland for a while, eh?
You've been a few months? I've lived here for months, yeah. Yeah, now I get it. You've been in Auckland for a while, eh? You've been a few months?
I've lived here for months, yeah.
Yeah, are you loving it?
Love it.
Best place to film
and it's been a long time
but it's not my first
major motion picture
that I've shot.
For anyone that doesn't know,
I'm in town right now
working on a Minecraft movie
with my pal Jason Momoa.
Very exciting.
But about 20 years ago,
I worked with,
I'm about to drop another name,
Peter Jackson.
Clang!
Let me get that.
I'm like, doof!
On a little movie called King Kong,
down in Wellington.
I remember it.
It was a little independent film,
wasn't it?
And we shot also a scene here in Auckland
at the Civic Auditorium.
And it was an amazing scene.
I recently seen this.
King Kong was on display.
We were making it look like
we were in New York on Broadway.
Yeah.
We were about to do a live show
at the Civic.
We're a pretty big deal.
Oh, yeah.
Gorgeous theater.
Oh, I know.
Stunning.
100 years old.
Well, nothing's really that old
in New Zealand, to be fair.
Well, a hondo is nothing to sneeze at.
And they did a recent renovation.
Yeah.
Make it spanky clean, spanky fresh.
Has Britney Spears chatted with you about your cover of Baby One More Time?
I've not heard from Britney.
I did send her an email saying that I was a huge fan and that we love the song and that we're real proud of our cover.
It's so good.
And I hope she likes it.
Yeah.
And come to the premiere if you want.
We'd love to high five you in person.
And I heard from her manager that she read the email and she said, thank you.
But I have not heard anything like that.
Oh, my God.
Is she using a Gmail or a Yahoo?
A home mail.
A home mail?
I did not send an email to her.
I sent it to my manager who sent it to her manager who sent it.
So I have no idea what the chain of command is.
I love Britney, but she gives big yahoo.com.
Yahoo!
Yahoo!
Yeah.
So what?
Kung Fu Panda 4.
We saw it.
Tentative high five.
I wasn't sure.
Wait, so go on.
We saw it.
Love it. I've loved it since the't sure. Wait, so go on. We saw it, love it.
I've loved it since the first film.
It's so much fun.
It's honestly great.
That means a lot to me.
I'll tell you why.
Because I saw it as well at the premiere in Hollywood,
and I was just loving it.
Yeah.
I was laughing harder than anyone else in the theater and just looking around going,
did we just nail it?
Is anyone seeing how funny I am?
And that's like, I'm not objective.
So I don't know.
So to hear it from someone else,
it's good to know that it's not just me.
No, no, it's very funny.
And I'm incredibly funny as well.
So I've got great comedy
and can tell you that it's very funny.
Thank you.
When you're doing the voiceover for it,
are you leading it or do you have to follow the cartoon?
I always give
them what they want first.
Yes. I read it as written
first. And once they get
what they need and
once they're happy, then I go, no, no, no.
Not moving on yet. And I'll kick
it my style. I'll throw in some make
them ups and I'll put some of my own
secret pizzazz on it. And then you know, I don't say, and you have to use that. You know, I'll throw in some make them ups and I'll put some of my own secret pizzazz on it and then
you know, I don't say, and you
have to use that. You know, I'll let them use
what they want. Because will they have to like redo it
if you get in there skiddly
dee? They get my voice
before they start to animate.
Right. But sometimes I will go
back in when they see what works and what's great
and they want like, we need a little bit more of that.
Yeah, a bit more juice, a bit more sauce.
So, yeah, it's a collab.
And some of the artistry
makes the jokes way
funnier, so it's always kind of
a dance you do with the team.
And we had a great team of artists.
Because some of those faces that
Po pulls are even funnier
than the lines, you know what I mean?
Totally. I love it.
Are you alone in the booth?
I always feel like it would be a very lonely.
As always, you see some animation,
especially when it's a scene, an intimate scene,
they've got both the voice actors there,
but in this situation, were you in the room?
It's pretty rare that you actually get to jam with another actor
when you're making one of these animated films.
Once in a while, we did do one day me and Awkwafina,
and that was good and helpful.
But for the most part, they like to drill down,
one person, one actor at a time.
The only time I know of a filmmaker
using all the actors live and in person together
is, what was that, The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Oh, Wes Anderson.
By Wes Anderson.
But it's got that kind of like art house movie feel
when they're all there live in person.
Have you done a whiz?
No, I've never done a whiz.
I feel like you'd fit into a whiz.
You've done a whiz.
I'm ready if he calls.
Yeah.
I loved Bottle Rocket all the way through
to the last one, Asteroid City.
Oh, yeah.
Dude knows what he's doing.
Dude's got incredible style that everyone's copied, you know?
That look, that Wes Anderson look.
Those bright colors and beautiful, like, appointed production design.
It's art, darling.
It's art.
Darling, it's art.
It really is.
We're going to come back with Jack Black next and play Final Rankings.
We want to play a game with you.
It's something we do mostly on Fridays, but we'll do it with you. We'll make an exception for Jack Black. and play Final Rankings. We want to play a game with you. It's something we do mostly on Fridays,
but we'll do it with you.
We'll make an exception for Jack Black.
Talk to me.
It's called Final Rankings.
We rank things.
Sometimes it's food.
It's often food.
It's often food.
It's often food.
Sometimes it's fingers.
We ranked fingers.
And I think the index came out superior.
Index came out number one.
I mean, that's number one.
Obviously.
Yeah.
Obviously.
This one's a close second, though. Yeah. I think we index came out superior. Index came out number one. I mean, that's number one. Yeah. Obviously.
This one's a close second, though.
Yeah.
I think we went thumb was second
for memory.
Oh, thumb is strong as well.
Yeah.
It's what makes us us.
It makes us human.
It's what makes us New Zealand.
Yeah.
We're going to rank some things
inspired by Kanku Panda.
Oh, good.
Starting with Chinese cuisine.
That's a great three things to rank.
You've got to go... Dumplings is number one. Starting with Chinese cuisine. That's a great three things to rank. You've got to go...
Dumplings is number one.
Pork shumai.
Wait a second.
We're talking food?
We're coming right out of the gate with food?
We're ranking food?
Chinese cuisine.
You're saying dumplings number one?
Yeah.
Okay.
Steamed pork bun, number two.
What about a noodle?
Pork shumai, number three.
Are we ranking just Chinese foods?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would go, you've got to put a sweet and sour pork.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
How many do we get in our rankings?
You can do a top three.
Three.
So you did his three.
Yeah.
You were saying dumpling.
Dumplings.
Steamed bun.
Yeah, pork steamed bun.
And what was the last one?
Pork shumai.
Pork shumai.
The little ones that are open with a little pork. Never heard of it. The top. Never heard of it. I, pork steamed bun. And what was the last one? Pork shumai. Pork shumai? The little ones that are open with a little pork.
Never heard of it.
The top.
Never heard of it.
I like the first two.
It's basically, it's a glorified exploded dumpling.
I would argue that the second one, the steamed bao, is that what it's called?
No, like pork steamed bun.
Pork steamed bun.
Kind of the same sort of situation as a steamed bao.
Yeah.
Yeah, delicious.
I'm going to go, I'll go swim sail pork number three.
Yeah.
I'll go, I like a noodle, like a fried noodle, chicken fried noodle.
Number two, I'm going dumplings number one.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with dumplings number one.
I agree.
It's because there's a magic to the hidden what's inside.
They can tell you what's in a soup dumpling.
You take that bite.
Yeah, okay.
And second, I'm going to go egg rolls.
Yes, egg rolls.
Like an egg foo-yong.
Yeah.
Also known as spring rolls.
Yeah, spring rolls.
The crispy ones that you dip in the sweet and sour sauce.
Delish.
And I also like it because it's like a Chinese burrito.
It's wrapped up and once again, it's a little surprise.
A little surprise.
What's inside?
We don't know.
Okay. So dumps number one. Yeah.'s inside? We don't know. Okay.
So dumps number one.
Yeah.
And finally, I don't like it when you say dumps, but I know what you mean.
Dumps number one.
Dumps are also number one.
We've got a limited amount of time with DJ. There's actually nothing better than a good dump.
Agreed.
It's not where we rank it.
It's so important.
I ate a jar of candied jalapenos last night and I've had about four this morning.
Oh, that's a hot one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
If you feel us rushing you,
it's because Bourne literally has to go.
And last but not least,
I just like a good old fortune cookie.
Crunch it,
and then you get a little surprise inside.
A little bit of wisdom.
What's the future hold?
Hopefully it's good news.
Fletch, what's yours?
Sweet and sour pork.
Lemon chicken.
Oh, my God.
Is that allowed?
You are the whitest man I've ever met in my life. Orange chicken.
Orange chicken.
Orange chicken.
Oh, yeah, orange chicken.
So sticky.
Okay, maybe orange chicken second.
Princess chicken.
Yeah, and then fried dumplings, not steamed.
I know what you're saying, though.
With orange chicken or general tsu's,
you squeeze a little lemon on there,
it might add a little zest.
Yeah.
I think we've done well, you guys.
I think dumplings wins.
You know what's lacking in our rankings?
There's not one vegetable.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a fag delicious sweet and sour.
I was going to say bok choy with oyster sauce.
I'll put it, there's a chive.
There's a hint of chive in my dumpling.
There's a chive.
That's enough.
And there's pineapple in the sweet and sour.
That's enough. That's a fruit. Bok ch my dumpling. There's a chive. That's enough. And there's pineapple in the sweet and sour. That's enough.
That's a fruit.
Bok choy's not my go-to.
No, it sucks.
It's a little slimy.
You chew on it and you think it's ready to swallow.
It ain't ready to swallow.
Nah, dude.
It's like you're flossing before you've finished eating.
Yeah, you're flossing your throat because half of it's down and you're like.
Okay, next.
Hot and sour soup with the tofu chunks.
Oh, yum.
You can only get three, though. I made four, I know. No, I'm sorry. You've broken the rules. You shouldn't have counted, next. Hot and sour soup with the tofu chunks. Oh, yum. You can only have three, though.
I made four, I know.
No, I'm sorry.
You've broken the rules.
The cookies shouldn't have counted, though.
That's kind of like an afterthought.
It was left field.
Okay, next thing to rank, Kung Fu Noises.
Well, obviously, I'm partial to Skadoosh.
Skadoosh.
I think we invented that one, though.
Yeah.
I was going to say, did that come from a little bit of that special Jack Black sauce on a re-record?
You gave them what you want, and then you gave them the skadoosh back in the day.
Truth be told, I thought that I invented it, and then later I was talking to my buddy, Jared Hess, who directed Nacho Libre.
Oh, yeah.
And is also directing Minecraft, and he was like, no, dude, don't you remember?
I told you, skadoosh.
Skadoosh was my thing that I was doing.
I was like, oh, my God, You have full credit for Skadoosh.
So he could take me to court over Skadoosh, but he won't.
He's such a lovely guy.
He let me have Skadoosh.
He gave me his Skadooshing blessing.
And now it's, you know, it's become part of the world vernacular.
Yeah.
Okay, I would go, you got to put kapow in there.
Kapow.
You got to go higher.
Higher?
Higher? He? He. He. He. He. He. He. You got to put kapow in there. Kapow. You got to go classic hi-ya. Hi-ya? Hi-ya? Hi-ya?
Hi?
Hi-ya.
Hi-ya.
Hi-ya.
You got to go falsetto with a proper hi-ya.
I would do kapow, like a classic kind of like comic book.
That's more like Batman, right?
But I guess that's, it is the sound of an impact.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would, what do I?
Like a ninja karate chop on the neck. You come out of nowhere and you. More like the crack of a whip, really. Yeah, it is more. I would... What do I... Like a ninja karate chop on the neck.
You come out of nowhere and you...
More like the crack of a whip, really.
Yeah, it is more like a whip crack.
How do you spell that?
W-A-A-P-I-S-H.
No, like S-S-H-H-H.
Okay, you drank it without.
Here's another one.
How do you spell zhuzh?
Z-S-H-U-Z-S-H-U.
Zushu.
No, no, no.
Take off the last U.
Also, I want to throw in a...
Kiai.
Oh, yeah.
Kiai.
Yeah.
That's one where you're releasing chi
and you say kiai
and it's like an explosive finish.
Okay.
It helps you actually kick more butt.
Okay.
No one knows why.
Okay.
So I would say
Hiya wins.
Skadoosh is second.
I apologize.
Because only because
it's,
you stole it.
Because I don't want
to touch it legally.
It sounds like a grey area.
I don't want to touch Skadoosh.
Well, you've got Hiya,
Kiai.
Yeah.
And Skadoosh.
And Skadoosh.
One of those was yours though.
I'm throwing in one more.
What?
What?
What? It's kind of those was yours, though. I'm throwing in one more. Whattie!
It's kind of like a what, I, whattie.
Whattie.
Whattie.
So that's your number three.
Yeah.
Okay.
Those are classics.
Okay.
I like this.
Okay, Brittany.
But Bruce Lee didn't even need a word.
He would just, like an animal, like a cat getting ready to strike.
Like a cat crying.
My cat.
Do you know my cat sees my partner's name.
My partner's name is Aaron and our cat goes,
and the moment we first heard him do it, Aaron was like,
did Rolly just say my name?
And he like,
Like the devil.
Yeah.
I would have got rid of the cat.
Possessed.
Yeah.
He does it whenever he's upset.
Okay, Britney Spears songs?
Well, you know I'm going to be partial to the one that I did with my band Tenacious.
Hit me baby one more time.
Hit me baby one more time.
Perfect for Kung Fu Panda 4.
And it's a banger.
I was so stoked that we got to rock it up
and it's unexpected.
It's kind of why
it slaps.
That's my theory anyway.
Is Hans Zimmer
the composer for Kung Fu Panda?
Yes, he is.
So when you're talking to Hans
and he's got this beautiful score,
Oh my God.
How did you say to Hans,
Hans, we want to do Britney.
So we didn't approach Hans.
We just did our Tenacious D version
and it was rocking and it was ready to go.
But then Hans was like somewhere off.
I don't know where he was, somewhere in Europe.
And he got wind of it.
Probably skiing, I imagine.
What is this I'm hearing
that there is a Tenacious D of Britney Spears?
Let me put on some strings.
Literally, I have the orchestra here. We can put it on strings. I have, I have, literally,
I have the orchestra here.
We can put it on
and slap it on there.
It will slap
so hard.
And we're like,
yes,
do it,
Hans,
go.
And he did it
and he made it even better.
I heard that's why
June's theatrical release
was delayed.
Hans was like,
I need to do the D.
I brought it on Britney.
Yeah.
We need to do the D.
Wait your turn.
How crazy is that, though?
Isn't it nuts that Hans did Dune II and Kung Fu Panda?
Yeah.
How does he pull that off?
He does every movie.
He's rapidly approaching supremacy of all times,
except he's never going to catch John Williams, right?
Good luck.
Good luck, Hans.
Suck it, Hans.
No, Hans rules.
But at the end of the day, yeah, that's a John Williams.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay, so Britney songs, You're Going Baby One More Time.
I'm going to check.
And John Williams is still around.
We might get him for Kung Fu Panda 5.
Oh, and is there a Kung Fu Panda 5?
No, we don't.
I saw him do the Star Wars.
I just threw out there for comedy.
I hope so.
You always hope so. Yeah. That means threw out there for comedy. I hope so. You always hope so.
Yeah.
That means that the love is strong.
We'll see.
I saw him do the Star Wars,
his Star Wars medley, John Williams,
conducting a live orchestra just after his 90th birthday.
Dang.
It was wild.
Introduced by Harrison Ford.
Wow.
It was nerd city, wasn't it?
It was.
Let's say that room was stanky.
I can't believe we've got Jack Black
and you've managed to thumb in Star Wars again.
Now you speak of my language.
Oh, God.
I could talk Star Wars with you all day, bro.
Oh, same.
I love it.
All the wars and the ships.
Oh, my God.
The stars.
There's so many stars.
I was just talking about it the other day
about my favorite Star Warses.
Talk about a good rank.
You can rank those.
Okay.
And way, way up high on my list is kind of a newish one.
Rogue One.
The Rogue One story.
That robot character?
Yeah.
And then like that connective tissue at the end of Rogue One
when it goes into the very first one, which is Star Wars
4, 3,
I'm so confusing, 4.
Darth Vader's down the hallway?
He's coming down the hallway.
They're going to the beginning of it.
And then,
which is the bit of
Star Wars
hallway scene? Is it Darth Vader at the end of We're on to it now. How is this happening? Which is the better Star Wars hallway scene?
Is it Darth Vader at the end of Rogue One
or is it Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian?
Hallway scene.
Yeah, when they're coming down the hallway,
just ruining dudes.
Oh, that is close, dude.
Yeah.
Because Mandalorian got it right.
That was very exciting.
Yeah.
Who's pulling in this X-Wing?
Who is this?
Who's this green lightsaber?
Who's this little dickhead?
Andor.
Don't go to sleep on Andor. Don't go to sleep on Andor.
Don't go to sleep on Andor.
You know, I'll say it.
Some of the best Star Wars properties
don't involve a lightsaber.
But anyway, Kung Fu Panda 4
is coming out very soon.
I think March 22nd.
April 4th.
April 4th.
April 4th.
March 22nd.
It's like yesterday.
It's coming soon, bro. Jack Blake, thank you so much. It's like yesterday. It's coming soon, bro.
Jack Black, thank you so much.
It's better than Star Wars.
It is better than Star Wars.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Thank you, Jack.
Hell yeah.
Yes.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah, man.
Absolute pleasia.
Oh, my God.

Fact of the day
Day day day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
This week's Fact of the Day theme, and we are late, but Jack Black.
Oh, joy.
Privilege.
We are late, but Jack Black.
It's mythical creatures, little known mythical creatures, because I was reading about someone was spending all this money to go and finally get answers on Loch Ness.
I was like, save your money.
Oh, give it up.
There's no dinosaur-y creature in Lake Ness.
What celebrity was just chiming in as well?
Ed Sheeran or someone?
Your grainy photo is just a log or someone's jacket.
It's always a log.
Or a bloody alpaca that's fallen in.
Yeah, they've literally run sonar on every inch of that lake.
There's nothing in there.
He ain't real, Hans.
Yeah, he ain't real.
So I think we should spend some time learning about other mythical creatures from around the world,
and that's today's fact of the day, this week's fact of the day.
Okay.
Well, fact about...
Ucklut!
Ucklut?
Ucklut is number one.
The Inuits of Alaska, along the shore of the Bering Sea
have a mythical creature called Aklut,
which has a really long name.
Kakwan un gat gigluing nik.
Okay.
Great pronunciation.
Thank you.
He said it with confidence.
How would he know?
Well, he speaks a little Inuit.
Yeah.
Aklut, for short, is a orca.
Right. That can take on the form of a wolf when it's on land. Yeah. Uckloot for short is a orca right that can take on the form of a wolf
when it's on land. Wow.
Oh cool. Yeah. Orca wolf.
How rad would an orca wolf be?
Imagine if orcas had legs. That'd be
unstoppable. So apparently the origin
When I imagine an orca with legs
I imagine the legs being tiny.
Like a T-Rex but more of them like
but a huge orca.
For Scotland.
For Scotland alone.
Apparently the origins of this is that a very well-respected chief of the area once saw a wolf walk up to the edge of an ice shelf,
jump into the water, and then when he looked across,
an orca was swimming away.
Oh, that's just a coincidence, isn't it?
Yeah.
And apparently you will find lots of wolf prints
that just walk up to the edge of ice.
Wow.
Because orcas get them?
Or they go swimming?
No, so apparently it's just like they just keep walking,
but then the ice will melt and crack and like crack off,
so you just don't see where the wolf kept going.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Because the ice cracked away.
See, there is a reasonable explanation for everything.
For almost everything.
Yeah, but apparently in this region,
a lot of Inuit folklore is about composite animals,
animals that can be too.
The white whale transforms into a reindeer.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
That'd be a cool one.
Imagine if it was big whales pulling Santa's sleigh all along.
Oh, my gosh.
They were just in their reindeer form.
You know what, when you said reindeer,
I thought of a unicorn for some reason.
I was like, yeah, big horn.
That's not a reindeer. That's an owl.
That's kind of the unicorn of the sea.
So today's fact of the day is
that when we're talking about mythical creatures
let's forget about Loch Ness and
go to the Bering Sea
where local Inuit folklore talks
about Uplut, the orca
who can turn into a wolf.
Fact of the day
day, day, day, day, day.

about the time at a bar

and so I bought him a drink
and he was like,

You know, the real losers out there.
Same.
No, no, no, we'll just...

Maybe we should even encourage people
to listen to other podcasts
that the company makes.
Yeah.
No, but only after ours.
Yeah, nah.
Nah, don't do that.
And not more than ours.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
