issues always with silly little poll. How do you like your dumplings cooked? Pan fried? Steamed? All dumplings are welcome in my gob. Yeah, I think it depends on what kind of dumpling you're having. Same. We'll delve into this soon with our poll results. Next, though.

A New Zealander believed he was accepting an award on behalf of New Zealand for our fantastic COVID response. Wow. And he was flown to Thailand. Oh my God, I love Thailand. Yeah, well, it didn't all go to plan. No. This is an insane story

and I'll tell you the details of it next. Got to watch out for the old ones in your life. You really do. Falling for these scams. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. This will be a great episode of Border Patrol. I'll call it.

Australia does a good Border Patrol. We do an okay Border Patrol. Australia does a really good Border Patrol. Yeah, they do. Yeah, their workers are very aggressive. Yeah, because we're just like, what you got in the air? You got no food? And then they've got food. All sorts of delicious edible bits and pieces.

Yeah, I love it. Australia gets more drugs and more people breaching and lying about who they are. Why they're there. We get all the tourists coming with a pack of mushrooms and a little bit of cured meat. Yeah, not even the good mushrooms. Yeah, not even the best ones. Portobello's. We're talking about Portobello's.

Oh, yeah. Shittake for me. Oh. Portobello's. We're talking about Portobello's. Oh, yeah. Shittake for me. Oh, really? Number one. We should rank mushrooms on Friday. I only really know about three different kinds. That's all right. That's all you need for the top three.

He's a button bitch. He is a button bitch. That's good stuff. That's good stuff. Oyster's very posh. Oyster's posh. Sometimes I'll branch out and go a brown button. Yeah.

Oh, my God. You spicy boy. You peel the skin off, don't you? No, absolutely not. I don't need to leave the skin on. Give it a good wash, though. I don't wash my mushrooms. They're terrible.

They're absolutely covered in dirt. I know. They're literally growing in shit. Literally growing in shit. You've got to wash them. Delicious. So this happened in July, but 18 months prior to July.

I'm not going to tell you what happened in July just yet. You know it's something to do with Border Patrol. Oh my God, tease, tease. 18 months prior to July. I'm not going to tell you what happened in July just yet. You know it's something to do with Border Patrol. Oh, my God. Tease. 18 months prior to July. So, I don't know. Go back a full year and then six more months.

So, the start of the previous year. January or February 2022, let's say. George gets a WhatsApp message. Oh, no. From Chang. Oh, no. George's last name is Chang. Yeah.

And the person says, hey, we would love for you to come to Thailand to accept a COVID response award for New Zealand from the UN. Oh, fantastic. You need to go to Bangkok. We did do well. We did do well. We did do really well. We need you to go to Bangkok. We did do well. We did do well. We did do really well. We need you to go to Bangkok to sign the certificate and pick up prizes. Okay.

For the other people back home. Now, did he work for the Ministry of Health or the government? Nope. This guy? Nope. He's a 77-year-old. Okay. So he doesn't have a job.

He's retired. Yes. Okay. It's crazy they chose him. I guess it doesn't affect productivity if you take someone who's already retired you know yeah that's right yeah so he would um he wouldn't have to take time off work and so he's like this sounds bloody all right trip to bangkok yeah away i go bangkok but they paid for flights yeah uh it actually doesn't say they paid for flights? You'd assume so. Yeah, you'd assume so. It actually doesn't say who paid for the flights.

But surely. So when he was in Bangkok, a woman came to his hotel and gave him a black carry-on bag with gifts for the officials that he would be meeting in Australia on his way home. Okay. And they said, don't open them because they're not your presents they're for somebody else.

I mean, instantly a lot of red flags here. When you get to the officials in Melbourne, you will get $23 million and a certificate. Oh, my God. Wait, is he getting the $23 million? Or is that for the government? No, that's for him. $23 million US dollars. So what, almost, give that a good roundup.

Let's say he's $40 million. Yeah. It's payday, baby. Yeah. He's doing it. Yeah. So then he's flying back to meet these officials and the Australian Border Force officers in Australia say,

sorry, Eric, there's something in your luggage and we need to check it out. And he's like like those are the presents oh shit you can't open other people's presents I wonder at what stage he told them 23 million dollars was waiting for him and a certificate

they didn't open the presents so they were like well Eric we've got to open the presents because we have reason to believe it's drugs. Why would it be drugs? It's an award. It's presents. It turned out to be two kilograms of pretty good heroin.

What? Heroin? Yeah, dude. Heroin. Not even like one of the fun ones. Not even mushrooms like we were talking about before. Do we even have heroin in New Zealand? Seems ridiculous.

I've never seen anyone do heroin, but I do live in a bubble. Yeah. I don't see people do a lot of things. Yeah, true. I've never seen anyone do heroin, but I do live in a bubble. I don't see people do a lot of things. I've never even seen pee, but apparently it's everywhere. Apparently. No, same. I've never seen anybody do it. No, neither.

Genuinely. I've probably met someone who's on it and didn't even know. Yeah. That's a very high chance. It is around. But I've personally never seen anybody do pee. I've never witnessed a murder. But people occasionally do get murdered. But people do get murdered. Maybe not seen anybody do pee. I've never witnessed a murder. But people occasionally do get murdered.

Maybe not as much as pee. So then he was arrested because of the drugs in his luggage and this paper-thin story that he's telling about how he went to Thailand to pick up a ward on behalf of New Zealand. And he's in big trouble, obviously. So he's facing what, like the rest of his life in jail? He says he's the victim of a scam. 25 years, up to 25 years for that amount of controlled substance.

Being caught with that coming into Australia. I mean, but come on. Like, come on. Like, you can feel sorry for the guy, but this is a... Oh, he's old though. He's 77. Oh, but come on. That's old.

He's old. Yeah, but surely by the age of 77, you know that. He had previously fallen for online scams, but this one probably will have more severe consequences. I'd say so, yes. He's been held at a media and security remand centre in Melbourne's west where alleged offenders wait to face court. Right.

Yeah. He will probably be in jail on his 78th birthday. So, because that's coming up. Why didn't they let him go and then follow him and see who he was giving the drugs to? Follow the drugs. Follow the money. Follow the money and the drugs. Yeah.

Like, those are the people you really want. Yeah. Yeah. But I guess they've just got to make sure a story or... Has he done any crime before? No. No, no previous record of crime. Oh, come on.

He's probably just a doddery old man who just got a bit confused. Yeah. Down at the bottom of the article, there's a picture of his luggage. Yeah. I've got questions as to why there are three glass bottles in there. That's giving me big my father-in-law energy, bringing home something he really doesn't need to bring back to New Zealand

because we've already got it here. Oh, but it's different there, Vaughan. It's different in Thailand. I'll be like, it's really indistinguishably, like the pain in the ass you're going through putting glass bottles in your baggage are going to be significantly more.

Would your father-in-law have fallen for this? He loves Thailand. He loves Thailand. It would have fallen through this? He loves Thailand. He loves Thailand. It would have fallen through when he would have asked if he's been flown for an upgrade to business. And then because he knows

the hotels in Thailand, they would have been like, we're going to put you in the Marriott or whatever. It's a little bit nicer. I'm getting an award. And honestly, you've dealt with a million dollars.

He would have been such a pain in the ass to deal with for billions of dollars. He would have been such a pain in the ass to deal with for the drug dealers. He would have been such a pain in the ass. They probably would have just been like, just let him go. Just send him home. Don't give him the drugs. He'll lose them.

Quarter past six. Next on the show are some plumbers who have gone viral for teaching us all what we can't use our insincorators for. Do you have one? Yes. Do you have one in the new kitchen? No, we don't.

You're an old waste. Yeah. Plus, we've got a bougie sink, remember? No, you've got a bougie. You can't put one in there. Can't put one in there. It's kind of led people to go, well, what's the point of these things? Apparently, you can't put anything down there.

Yeah, they're weird. Go through the list next. Play. ZM's, Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Well, some plumbers have gone viral on TikTok. There's a company, six plumbers, and they were like answering questions from just, I guess, your followers or just people online. And the question was, what is the one thing you should never put down your garbage disposal? Which we're just calling Sincorators, right?

Yeah. And Sincorators is a brand. It's a brand, but that's just what we all call it. Yeah. Like Gladwrap. That was so, I remember when I moved to Auckland, I was like, what are all these things, man? We never had them in Wellington. They just were not really that popular. And then

every house I went into in Auckland had them. Really? Yeah. I've never had one. I don't think, we didn't have one growing up. We had a scraps bin. My grandparents had. I was just thinking thinking we're on a septic tank, so we've been told we can't have one, which makes no sense because you want some organic material in there to like break it down and everything.

Yeah. But my grandparents had one growing up, and they were on a septic tank. Fun. Especially when you drop a teaspoon down. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Out of the six plumbers Half of them said I wouldn't put anything

In my waste disposal In my insincorator Then they listed off The things that you definitely should not put down there And it's kind of left the internet thinking Well what's the point of having these things What is the point So a lot of things

That you can't put down there, eggshells. Yep, I knew that. Because do they clog up the blades? I guess all the little shards maybe, I don't know. Starchy foods, shellfish, coffee. Coffee, I always put my coffee down there. Coffee grounds. Why can't you put those down there?

Why wouldn't you? Why aren't you supposed to put starchy food down there? Because it would be cloggy? Starchy and fatty. It says oily and starchy foods because they clog up the drains. Yeah. Maybe I guess if there was no water and there was still potato on the... Potato powder.

Starchy potato on the pipes, maybe it hardened? Yeah, maybe. Eggshells, banana peels because they're stringy. Vegetable peels They can all clog plumbing Things that are okay Fruit Fruit pips

Vegetable scraps Corn cobs That's okay I wouldn't do a corn cob Too much I wouldn't do a corn cob You'd have to trust the blade They say small bones are okay

I wouldn't do bones I wouldn't do any bones Don't do bones Yeah And this has kind of left Like millions of people Reacting to this TikTok are okay. I wouldn't do bones. I wouldn't do any bones. Don't do bones. Yeah, and this kind of left millions of people reacting to this TikTok saying, well, what's the point of having this thing then? I would have a lovely

deep sink and it wouldn't go in there. And then people commenting on this video saying, well, I rent so I put everything down there. Fair enough, not my problem. Which you would do, right? Because it's not your pipes or your house, so you don't care. Don't you put eggshells in the garden?

In the garden, yeah. What does that do? Crush them up. Well, it keeps the snails off the things. They don't like being on it. They can't crawl over them because they're sharp. But also, another thing you can do with eggshells, so I've been told, check with any vets listening,

is powder them like proper powder them like grind them in a neutral bullet to nothing to nothing and then you can like mix them with a bit of dog food

for a bit of extra calcium for your puppies just why don't you just buy some but like super grind them but why don't you just buy dog food with calcium in it

yeah well I think the cheap stuff doesn't have calcium in it that's why you don't see white dog food anymore are you defending your dogs the cheap stuff doesn't have calcium in it. That's why you don't see white dog food anymore. Are you defending your dog's the cheap stuff? Shit yeah. No, times are tough. In all honesty dog food's got crazy expensive. Is it?

Yeah. Yeah, I think cat food's the same. It's gone up like 10% or something. Yeah. Last we while. We have a bougie mix. We do a custom mix. For your cat. For Rolly, yeah. Custom mix. You're not one of those people that buys supermarket meat and feeds it to your cat, are you? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He doesn't eat meat.

He only likes ham. Maybe he's on a fully dry diet. That's why every time he shits, he's like... His ass is in tatters. Yeah. Silly Little Pole is next. Dumplings. Yum, yum, yum. It's all about dumplings next. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.

Fletchford 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.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole. How little pole Silly little pole How do you like your dumplings cooked? A very good question An excellent clue The phone is trying to guess when you play Guess Who Steamed, boiled? Yeah Pardon me

Yeah, I would have left off boiled But some people highly boil them At like a fast place you get a boiled Not that you get a steamed Nah, some people boil a boiled. I don't think you'd get a steamed. Nah, some people boil them. They just have a big tray. Steamed, steamed, boiled, or pan-fried. The winner is pan-fried.

It's got to be pan-fried. It is. 77% of people said pan-fried. I do like a bit of crunch, but every now and then I like a soft or like an oil, like a chili oil dumpling. That's got to be steamed. I think the best steamed ones are the bougie ones. Yeah, yeah, bougie.

Because they taste nice. The soup ones. Yeah, yeah, bougie. Because they taste nice. The soup ones. Yeah. The soup dumplings. Oh, yeah, they're good. Dude. Are we going to yum-char again soon? Yeah.

And because yum-char down here, I didn't think it was coincidence last time we went, the woman came over and said, would you like soup dumplings? Just to us, just to our table. Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, three lots. We're huge soup dumpling eaters. And I think she remembered the time before we went when I asked if they were doing soup dumplings, and she said yes, and yeah, three lots. We're huge soup dumpling eaters. And I think she remembered the time before we went when I asked if they were doing soup dumplings

and she said yes and I said three lots. So I just think she knows me as soup dumpling guy. Yeah. She doesn't. God, they were good. You just, I, no, because I'm a white man in control. Yeah. I've got my Asian father-in-law there.

Yeah. And my plethora of mixed race wife and family members, but I take control. Yeah. And she's like, she likes it. I know, I like it. I like going out for dinner when you order. It's giving me big coloniser energy.

Yeah. Soup dumplings. Yeah. So they've got to be steamed. They simply can't be pan fried. 21% of people said steamed and 2% said boiled. 2% boiling dumplings. The same one as your mum who boiled the hell out of Brussels sprouts

and then wondered why no one would eat them. Right, some feedback. Jennifer says, crunch factor. No more to be said. Yeah. She likes a bit of crunch. But sometimes if you're getting one of those like coriander ones, it needs to be steamed. Yeah. Some of them just require a softness and some require a crunch. Yeah. She likes a bit of crunch. But sometimes if you're getting one of those, like, coriander ones, it needs to be steamed.

Yeah. Some of them just require a softness and some require a crunch. Yeah. We like life, really. Wow. Mickey says, all of the above usually get six of each because I'm a fat man stuck in a skinny man's body. Yeah. Lucky bugger.

Lucky, you lucky bastard. You bastard. Courtney says Pan fried You'll get a puku though When you get to 40s Yeah you will Just you wear Skinny little arms

And weird little guts Yeah skinny man Weird guts You'll get that Weird little fat guts Wiry with a puku Yeah and you'll still have Really small pants

But your guts will hang Over the pants Yes they will You have to get bigger shirts You'll be like What's happening here Yeah you'll be hanging The shirt because of

The little guts Pan fried for sure Says Courtney Boiled are like Slimimy, disgusting brains. No thanks. Oh, yeah, they are. They're slimy. Owen said pan-fried until brown, then put water in a pan to steam, shallow boil.

I know you're doing it the wrong way around. How you pan-fry is you put water in it, the water boils off, and then you're left with the oil, and then it's cooked, steamed, and then you pan-fry it. Oh, yeah, you don't just bloody stir-fry them. You're back to front there. You're back to front. Oh, back to front, Owen.

Back to front. What do you mean back to front? I will say though, supermarkets are doing amazing dumplings. Yeah, they are now. Yeah, well, if you're the favourite brand because some of them will just fall to bits. Some of them aren't held together enough.

You've got to go to the Asian grocers and they go ahead into the freezer. Yeah. It's a good one in Mount Albert in Auckland. You go into the freezer and they've got real good, real good dumplings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I prefer steamed but boiled as the home substitute,

said Mel. Mel needs some steaming baskets. Yeah. Was it just after the first lockdown I bought all those steaming baskets? How did they go? Dude, they rule. The bamboo steam baskets.

Oh, yeah, we've got those. You can make a pile of them. Yeah, you just stack them. Stack them right up on top of a pot of boiling water. And just let them go. Your biggest ones, your pork steam buns down the bottom because they need the most steaming. Yep.

And then your smallest dumplings at the top. Your shumais. You pretty much get them all going. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shumais down the bottom. It's pure meat. It's got to be cooked through. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love boiled dumplings, especially in soup. Hey, if we're talking like a wonton soup, we're talking a different game altogether. Yeah. Stop it. Ah, that's from Rhiannon. I'm getting real hungry now. I'm starving.

Literally just had breakfast. I've literally never eaten in my life. That's how I feel. Hannah says, any way possible, just put them in my mouth. Yeah. Agree on that. Good summary. She doesn't even want to touch them.

She just wants someone else to finger them in. She's just like, the dumpling garbage disposal. Atta girl. Atta girl. At Silly Little Pops. Vera Wang, who's an American fashion designer, very high end, you know, up there with your Dolce's and your...

Cabanas. And your cabanas and your... That's just the second half of the one she already said, though. Your Guccy's. Your Vuittons and Louis. Yep. All that. Wang.

Vera Wang. Yeah, Vera Wang. I'm not familiar with her efforts. Well, she is 74 years old. Because I've never gone into the mall and seen a Wang store. No, she's too good for the mall. I've been to a couple of Wang stores. Now, I go to the Wang store every Friday night.

That's Vera Wang. She's 74. Jesus. Are you kidding me? If you don't know her, listen. I remember. Like, I know the name, but if she could walk past me, I wouldn't even. No, I wouldn't know who she is.

Right. She was wearing sunglasses in a photo and I had zero concept of how old she was. If you told me how old is, see, that other photo, she looked way younger. But even that, I'd be like, I don't know. Forties? Like, late forties? She doesn't have an aged chest. See, this is the thing.

So everyone always talks about how young she looks. And the answer, and I'm going to say it, she's got an answer in this article. The answer is Botox and plastic surgery and tons of it. That hairline

has been stapled back 10 times over. How the skin on her body looks so young, I have no idea. You know, it was such a beautiful Labor weekend.

The weather was great and Sade was sunbathing and she's one of those people who spends half a day in weekend. The weather was great. And Sade was sunbathing. And she's one of those people who spends half a day in the sun, brown. Yeah. And she said, I might have got a little bit burnt here and indicated her chest. What do you call this part again? The décolletage.

The décolletage. And I said, ooh, you don't want old chest? Because I know we're talking about old chest. I'm worried about old chest. And you're worried about old chest. And she's like, what do you mean old chest? I was like, because this is the first part that goes and you wear like singlets and whatever

and everyone can see you've got old chest. Jesus. I'm pretty sure she's booked in for surgery. And that's your fault too. I'm on a journey with old chest. I was joking and I keep saying, how's that old chest of yours? Oh my God, it's not funny.

It is so, it's such a, it does at ages. And I get burnt hair every summer, no matter what. I always wear something and it just not funny. It is so, it's such a, it does at ages. And I get burnt hair every summer, no matter what. I always wear something and it just gets burnt. You don't look like you've got old chest though. No, I don't. I don't yet. Yet. She's young.

It could start. The creping could start. The creping? Yeah, it's when your skin turns like crepey hair and it goes like that, which is absolutely fine, by the way. But there's just something about it that I just get nervous. A lot of it's avoidable by sunscreen. Absolutely.

I reckon Vera Wang's a big sunscreen user. And sleeping with something between your boozies. Because that's what gets it, is the boobies pushing together. And you know I've got these massive cajongas this year. That's what's really accelerated it. Anyway, Vera Wang. So you're telling me I should go home and say to Sade, if you want to avoid aged chest,

I've got a little something you can sleep with between your cohoogers. Yeah, yeah. And get her a little pillow. That'd be heavily uncomfortable. I think I was implying something far filthier. Yes. What about just your hand? My arm.

Just your forearm. Actually, Aaron would be good at that. Boof. Then you're like, thank you very much. Now, Vera Wang says her secret to looking so youthful, donuts, daily vodka, and daily McDonald's. Now, apparently... Oh, she's one of those people that can eat what they want.

Yeah. Cool. Now, she says apparently she goes through a phase where she'll order McDonald's every single day for a couple of weeks, then she'll take a couple of weeks off, and then she goes back and eats McDonald's every day. That's the 2-2. We call that the 2-2. That's the 2-2. We call that the 2-2.

That's the 2-2 diet. Yeah. Plus she loves a sugar glazed donut and a vodka cocktail. What does she, any word on what she's hitting when she goes to Macca's? No, I don't know her order. Big fillet of fish energy. She's got big fillet.

Thank you. Yeah, she does. Me and Vera. Me and Vera and Posh Spice. Timeless beauties All three of you And the chests on us Wrinkle free

The financial stress of Christmas Ever present in everybody's mind Now that we're only 60 days. 60 days away from Christmas. Yeah, the 25th of October today. We're two months away today. Oh, that's exciting. That's exciting. Do you know I'm cooking Christmas dinner this year?

Oh, no pressure. Not for Aaron's family, but for my family. No pressure. Bit of pressure. Bit of pressure. I'm thinking of doing a lamb. It is crazy, though, how much people spend, though, eh? Yeah.

Oh, thousands. I think if you're worried, you've just got to, though, how much people spend, though, eh? Yeah. Thousands. I think if you're worried, you've just got to, I don't know, do that thing, do a Secret Santa. Yep. Is that on your list? Are we ruining your list? No, that's not on my list. No? Also, with the lunch, it's like it doesn't have to be that epic.

We always go so hard out and then feel like shite afterwards. Get some frozen sausage rolls and heat those up with a bit of an egg bath. Well, maybe do better than that. Maybe better than one of those. Okay. Yeah. Putting a lot of pressure on your mother. What are you taking to Christmas?

What about a bachelor's handbag shop? We know you're doing Christmas this year because you'll be gone by Christmas. You'll be overseas. I'll be gone by Christmas. Yeah. He's not even spending Christmas with his family. He makes his family do Christmas early. They don't have to do it.

So he can get his gifts. No, I don't even want gifts. They don't have to do it. So he can get his gifts. No, I don't even want gifts. I don't care about gifts. Where's my gift, mother? Mummy, where's my gift? Mummy! No, we're just going to do like a weekend before.

Yeah. All right. No, you'll be gone on the 15th. That's more than a weekend before. Two weekends before. Here you go. See what he's doing to his family. You're making your mother,

your father and your brother get together in a date totally irrelevant to Christmas. Ah, it's fine. Here you go. See what he's doing to his family. You're making your mother, your father, and your brother get together in a date totally irrelevant to Christmas. Ah, it's fine. It's fine. And for your mother to slave over a meal. No, but then they can use their Christmas gift vouchers for other things. For Christmas.

For Christmas shopping. Are you doing vouchers this year? No, I don't know. Yeah. Probably. It's just easier. I'm going to voucher it up, man. Voucher up.

It's easy. I want vouchers. I love vouchers. It's just fun. Number six on the list of the top six ways to keep the price of Christmas down. Yes. From financial expert Vaughn Smith. Kilda.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep it warm. And then by Christmas lunch, it'll still be kind of warm. Yeah, warm enough. Just get four of them.

That's the same as a turkey. Pack it a bloody Maggi gravy. Yeah, there you go. Number one on the list of the top six ways to keep the price of Christmas down. Change the T-S in presents to a C-E. Oh, shut up. So it's less about presents. Your presents is not my presents.

Yeah. And more about your presents. I'd be so gutted if my present from you was you. Your presents. I know. My presents. You just turn up on my doorstep. My presents is a present. Are we getting each other presents this year?

I think we should do a Secret Santa as a team, I think. Secret Santa, yeah. I'm not buying six presents. Or five presents. It's a lot of presents. I can be happy to make a wish list like a registry. Just one off Secret Santa. That is

today's Top Sex. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. This is actually really sweet. There is a

there is a three-year-old girl who like a lot of three-year-old girls goes to bed and then the parent will say

what story do you want for story time? Right? And this girl usually chooses a myriad, girl usually chooses one of the myriad of books that she has. God, do you have to do this every night? So they fall asleep. For a few years.

Four nights is just nice. It's bonding time and they appreciate books and reading. Can you just play a podcast or something? Yeah, you can play a podcast. I like to play my daughter's show, Joe Rogan. So they fall asleep. It's a three hour podcast generally.

They'll fall asleep after 45 minutes and then they just learn subliminally from the best. Subliminally. Yeah, that's great. They wake up wiser.

Yeah. Wiser to the world in its wicked ways. Yeah, and I find them in the freezer in the morning. I'm like, what the hell are you doing in there? And they're like,

I'm cold treating myself. Yeah. Like the rogue says. Yeah. The rogue. I heard they're getting a vaccine extraction done soon. They're going to try.

Yeah, that's good. Let's see how they're going to do that. Do you know you can get sucked out if you regret it and you realise it's like, oh, crap, a shack. Anyway, this little girl,

when she was asked by her mother what she wanted to be read, she wanted the iced coffee machine instruction manual. Okay. So the mum literally got the manual and it was like, insert the pod into the capsule. Yeah. Push down hard on the thing.

And the girl was like, like off in her sleep and like loving it. And now apparently she's obsessed with this book. Weird kid. and so every night she has to read the coffee machine manual the coffee machine manual right so that the daughter

can get to sleep I'm sure there's something in there about cleaning it thoroughly too oh cleaning it thoroughly and every now and then running a decalcification yeah

you gotta do that actually ours is due for a decalc that'd send you to sleep pretty quickly yeah it would indeed anyway I thought everyone was like what what a weird kid, man. Have the rainbow fish or something or the hungry caterpillar or Harry McCleary.

Yeah. Not the coffee machine thing. I'm trying to think about the weirdest thing I would do as a kid. I don't know that I was that weird. I was extra. It's certainly likely with you. It's very likely. It's very believable. Yeah, for sure. If you were to say a story, be like,'s certainly likely with you. It's very likely. It's very believable.

Yeah, for sure. If you were to say a story, be like, yep, that's you. Yeah, I can think of a myriad, but none of them are like... Weird, weird. Appropriate. Oh, okay.

I've talked about this in stand-up before, you know, when you're a kid and you just sort of start humping the couch and you're like, quite like that. Yeah. You know what I mean? When you first work out,

you're like... Explains a lot now though, doesn't it? It feels nice. Yeah. It feels nice. I like that. Yeah. You know what I mean? When you first work out, you're like... Explains a lot now though, doesn't it? It feels nice. Yeah. It feels nice. I like that. Yeah.

I'm going to sit on the arm of the couch for a little bit longer. I was like, get off the couch. You're like, don't tell me what to do. I used to roll around

when the vacuum cleaner was getting done sniffing the air that got blown out. I know that smell. I can smell it right now. Just like sitting around, just like wiggling around

behind the vacuum And like Yeah Weird kid Weird kid Okay that's a weird kid thing I want to know if I think we should take some calls

And get some messages Were you a weird kid And what's the weird thing You used to do Okay 0800 DARS at M Give us a call now You can text through 9696

Weird kids rejoice We want to hear from you What's the weird thing you did Maybe you don't remember because you were so young, but your family reminded you. And they're just like, you were a weird kid, man. Yeah. We had to read you the coffee machine manual to go to sleep. Yeah.

We want to know if you were a weird kid, man. There's a weird kid that likes the coffee manual read to her every night so she can go to sleep. Yeah, this is a three-year-old. Yeah. Weird kid. Yeah, weird kid. I knew lots of weird kids, but when you're growing up, you don't think you're the weird kid until you realise you're the weird kid. No, maybe your parents have had to remind you how weird you were.

Yeah. Some Instagram responses, because we asked on the gram. Yeah. Shannon says, I decided I was a cat at kindergarten. I only wore my cat costume every day and meowed or hissed. Yeah. That's actually very similar to you, Connor. You pretended to be an animal as a kid.

Yeah, I pretended to be a dog. Yeah. For how long? Well, I don't know how long, but I was about six years old. We lived on a farm, so there was a lot of dogs around. Right.

And I would run out in the driveway on all fours barking at anyone that came up the drive. That's embarrassing for you, man. That's embarrassing. Do you think this is because your father showed the dogs more affection than he showed to you, perhaps, made more attention and affection? No, but he was the one that got me to stop.

Bloody stop that. He'd had a bad day at work on the farm, I think, and he came home in a bad mood and he yelled at me, saying, you get on my feet, I'm a human being came home in a bad mood and he yelled at me saying, you get on my feet, I'm a human being, and I never did it again. You never did it again. Dad killed that. Sometimes grumpy dads do put a stop to things, don't they?

Yeah, they do. He probably regrets it. He's not even knowing it. He probably regrets it. Yeah. Connor, thank you. Rochelle, what was your weird kid thing? As a kid, I was obsessed with the feeling of raw chicken skin.

Oh, you're weird. This is great. Yeah, so like when mum would get a roast chicken ready, she would always let me know so I could come and rub my hands over the chicken. I just loved how it felt. I would have discouraged her. Bizarre.

And then if I walked in and I seen one in the oven and I didn't get to touch, I'd get really upset. Now as an adult, are you obsessed with scrotums? Sort of a chickeny feel to them. Yeah, they're scrotums. No comment. No comment, yeah, she loves them. A shaved scrotum very much feels like raw scrotum.

A shaved but also slippery scrotum. And kind of an older one with a bit more tug to it. Yeah, a bit of a slippery scrotum. I think I'd really love one of those skinless cats because I think... Yes! They are the scrotum of cats. They really are. Rochelle, thank you for sharing.

I don't know if I would have shared that one. Yeah, I love it. Colt, you were a weird kid? A little bit. I was a massive fan of carrots. Okay. How much did you like a carrot? Well, we had horses, so we used to buy the 20-kilo bags of the horse carrots.

And I used to just kind of grab them out of the bag, start eating them. And I've got a vitamin in them called carotene. Well, it turns out if you have too much of that in your body, it makes you go orange. You go orange. I was an orange 12-year-old. Wait, you actually went orange? Yeah, yeah. For like three months straight, I was having probably a good like 25,

30 carrots a day. I'd be taking them to school, everything and yeah, I went orange. And do you like carrots now? Oh yeah, still a fan. Do you have a photo of you as an orange 12-year-old? I do. There is one in the family photo album. That's brilliant.

Okay, good. Send it our way on the gram, please. I want to see this orange card. See if I can find it, mate. Brilliant. Colt, thank you. Some messages in. Jordan, I used to walk down the street singing loudly. I genuinely thought a talent scout would just drive past and find me.

That was going to be my story of how I got famous. That's so extra. I love that. Katie, when I needed to go to the toilet, I'd curl up and sit on my heels and say, I've got the feeling. Instead of to go to the toilet I'd curl up and sit on my heels and say I've got the feeling instead of just going to the toilet what

I feel like that's something you would have done I remember I asked my babysitter to wipe my ass yeah poor girl poor girl

Jessica fully believed for a long time when in primary school that I could control the wind with my thoughts when it was rainbow mufti day at school, I dressed up as a clown. Full rainbow wig and makeup. And I actually, like, didn't even care what anybody said.

And Gabby said I used to paint my pet chickens toenails. I stole my mum's reading glasses when I was six and started wearing them to school and told everybody I was blind. Mum found out at a parent-teacher interview when the teacher asked how I was getting on with the adjustment of my glasses and my mother was like, what? She can see fine. And then my teacher realised how big my glasses were and was like, oh that makes sense because they were way too big they didn't fit her. Oh my god. When I was a kid I'd put rubber gloves on my feet and walk around. Sounds a little bit

like you went to be a chicken or something. Yeah. My sister had a pet tree named Andy. It was just a twig stuck in the ground. She used to feed it. Fertilizer and such. Weird. From the ages five to seven, I used to lick my lips aggressively to the point I ended up with a red sore ring around my mouth.

I have three years of school photos with a bright red ring around my mouth. Oh, you'd be like, it's like pass rash. Yeah. When I... Oh, you'd be like, like Pash Rash. Yeah. When I was five, my unborn boyfriend to stay, he was probably in the early,

it is early 20s, I wouldn't leave him alone and I tried to win him over by catching field mice and crabs and insects and giving him the gifts. I even managed to catch a wild rabbit and I was like,

here you go. Where? He would have just been like, we've got to leave the kid, he's bringing me dead animals. Isn't the dead animal thing a sign that you're a psychopath? Yes. Yeah.

Or a serial killer. A serial killer, yeah. When I was a kid, I was invited to a fairy dress-up party. I refused to dress up as a fairy and I wanted to go as a clown. So mum made me a clown outfit and then there's all these photos of this clown.

Shame. The fairies. Weird kid. Shame, weird kid. When I was nine, I was so protective over my school desk, I'd lick the whole thing so other kids wouldn't touch it. Oh!

Yuck! Mankey. Mankey kid. I used to love the feeling of my grandma's prickly hair legs through her stockings. I'd sit on the floor between her legs and just rub my hand on her shin. I also used to carry around a... Oh, my God, like spiky

hairs. I used to carry around a pastry brush for a similar sensory throwing, rubbing it on my face, like painting my face with invisible paint. Sounds like you've got ADHD. I had sensory issues. I used to be obsessed with horses, not just playing with horse toys, but I'd make all my friends act out like we were all horses all

the time. I used to eat cat cookies. They're not called cat cookies either. That's just cat food, but we called them cat cookies and ate. As a four-year-old for Christmas, I wanted the shark navigator steam mop with pocket insert. The Santa at Westfield had a real hard job navigating what it was that I exactly wanted.

Oh, they would have seen the infomercials. Yeah. I always used to want to go for a picnic at the hill. The hill was a cemetery and I used to like talk to the graves. You're a bit of a wanker. My oldest used to wonder every night when we put him to bed, he'd be like, Daddy, read

me the tractor book. It was the John Deere brochure. Oh, wow. Of all the different brochures, of all the different tractors. I used to sniff the lemon-scented laundry powder and get a little close sometimes and get a little laundry powder up the old schnoot. A few lines of cold water. Racking them up, Jeffers.

I was a weird kid helping home kill before school. Our shed was right on the bus route. I got bullied for being able to feed myself at seven. What? I got bullied for being able to feed myself at seven. What? I got bullied for being able to feed myself at seven?

I mean, that would be a normal farm thing, wouldn't it? To be able to feed yourself. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah,

they used to do the home kill. They used to get their hands in and everything and climb in and out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some weird kids. Hey, thank you to all those weird kids.

Yeah, look, we were all a bit weird and at least we've all grown up to be well-rounded humans. Except the one that licked the desk. Yeah, that's a bit of a worry. I worry about them. I think he's in prison. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM. Shannon sometimes needs guidance in life. As we know of you, Shannon, you tend to get a bit lost. Sometimes you don't know things that others may assume you should know. Yeah, I feel like I had an alternative upbringing. So sometimes I just had big gaps in my knowledge. You reek of Steiner. But you weren't where you went to normal school.

No, you know we're going to get complaints from Steiner people. I've got the most respect for Steiner. I wish I went to Steiner. I would have made more sense of myself. I don't know where I'd be if I had get complaints from Steiner people. I've got the most respect for Steiner. I wish I went to Steiner. I would have made more sense of myself. I don't know where I'd be if I had gone to a Steiner school. I don't know what that means. It's alternative education. Probably a man that expresses his emotions.

Probably a little bit better. A little bit better. Yeah, probably a little bit better. A little bit more prone to physical touch. Literally just be shut down at the idea of it. No, the public. I think it's good at the public schooling. They teach you not to touch.

Yeah. Especially the teachers. Oh, yeah. They're like, don't touch. No, yeah, Vaughan, that's gay. That's what that is, they say at the public schools. Now, Shannon, yesterday you hopped into your vehicle innocently just desiring to get home.

Yeah, I was tired, ready to go home. And then I see a little critter poke his head up right in between my windshield and like the dashboard. Was it a squirrel? Was it a squirrel? I wish it was a cockroach. And like, I'm pretty good with bugs. Yeah, me too. Like, they don't scare me or anything.

I just felt like rank because my window had been left down the day before. So I think he crawled in. So he was in between the dash and the windscreen yeah so i just panicked and i knew i had sprayed deodorant to my handbag ready to go so i just sprayed it across my whole car not thinking and he like and then white went everywhere like i didn't realize deodorant's like a powdery ghost like i don't know my car is covered in like a film of deodorant. And I had just put a new air freshener in the car the day before. So it was already fragrant.

Like it was big strawberry smell. And now I've got like a cool charm smelling car. And there's deodorant everywhere. I don't know if I killed him. I don't know if that will work. I've definitely done this. I've definitely tried to kill a bug with both deodorant and like a spray and wipe. You know, like a bloody Ajax or something.

Try to drown them? Yeah, try to drown them in chemicals. You do what you have to do at the time. Cockroaches would survive though. Can't they survive a nuclear fallout? Yeah, not the explosion itself, but they could live in a nuclear wasteland. Right. But do you reckon they could survive

cool charm or do you think I'm good? Cool charm. I mean, let's talk about that. You're still rocking cool charm. Still rocking a cool charm. Is that the equivalent of a guy your age is still wearing Lynx Africa? Yeah, but there's something good about it, you know? It does stink. No, it's

Lynx. Remember mum? Deodorant? Yes. I remember my mum used mum. And when I first started using deodorant, I was like mum, that's what deodorant? Yes. I remember my mum used mum and when I first started using deodorant I was like mum, that's what deodorant is. Well we had the Hello Kitty one that was big when I was a teenager Oh wow. But yeah so now I'm a bit nervous that I've got like a really cute smelling cockroach just still living

in the car. And then the other cockroaches are going to turn up. I know because she'll smell cute. But then also how do you clean this? Jared recommended a little baby wipe or something, but I haven't got that far yet because I'm nervous to get down there. Wait, you drove home with that white film? Yeah.

Because you sent a photo in the group chat and there was a lot of window that was blocked out with white. It looks like there's Christmas window displays. Oh, yeah. It's giving big fake snow energy. It's giving big fake snow. Yeah. Maybe lean in and put more and then do a little Christmas decal.

Yeah, but then I got a bit dumb and like this will surprise no one. Wait a minute. I tried putting my window. So you're not at this stage a bit dumb. No. You're about to be. I put my window wipers on to try and get rid of it. Oh, I meant so.

And that's when you realise the window wipers are on the outside. But I wondered if maybe, I don't know, if the condensation or something would fix it. Just wipe it. Just wipe it. Just wipe it. Yeah, but there might be a cockroach down there. But it's just a little cockroach. You'll be all right. Yeah, but what if he bites me?

Don't they bite? Do you want one of us to come down and do it for you today? No, I don't want you to see my car. Vaughn already roasted it. No, they've already been in my car. What is it, a messy? Is it really messy? No, it's just a bit tragic.

It's got stickers all over it. She's got heaps of radio station stickers on the back window. Oh, okay. And I have like soft toys in there. Yeah. Oh! And I'm nervous he's living with the soft toys. What if he's in one of the rabbits?

It's just too overwhelming for me this week. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, good. I'll say it again. Good thing she's pretty. High praise. Good luck. Good luck getting that car, Roach. Thank you. I'll keep it again. Good thing she's pretty. High praise.

He's barely getting there. I'm trying to get that going in the background or go back to your ordinary? I reckon we'll go back to the other. No offence. No offence, but no thanks.

No offence. Michaela said there's a pop-up Christmas shop on the crossing Colombo Street in Christchurch. It's a pop-up. Okay. That means it's getting close because it's pop-up. And Samantha can report she was at Bayfair in Tauranga and Typo in that mall was playing Christmas music.

How are you, everyone Hello, Mr Fletcher. Hello, Mr Fletcher. Hello again. We saw him last week. Hello, everybody. How are you, everyone?

Mr Fletcher. No. Mr Fletcher. Mr Fletcher, we've got to tell the people. It's 69% Christmas penetration and all the producers out in the booth and all the people who are out there said nice. What does that mean? I thought they meant that you was nice, but we know that you're grumpy.

They just mean that it's really close to Christmas and it's really nice. It's nice, but we know that you're grumpy. They just mean that it's really close to Christmas and it's really nice. I listen to your radio show and you always say nice when someone says anything about that number. Care to explain? Why? It's so weird. Care to explain? We should share, brother, a happy news. Because the other night we was at your show, Mr. Fletcher.

I know, I saw. We were sweeping the stage to earn a buck so we could eat. We've got to earn a buck, Mr. Fletcher. I know, I saw. We were sweeping the stage to earn a buck so we could eat. We've got to earn a buck, Mr Fletcher. You know what that's like. You're not giving us anything. We've both gotten alarmingly skinny. I know because you've been malnourished. But we was there and there was lots of mummies and daddies.

And what happened, brother? We was adopted, Mr Fletcher. I know, I saw, I saw. We was adopted, Mr Fletcher. And I thought that meant that you would never. A solo mummy. I thought that meant you would never come back. No. Give the people what I want Mr Fletcher. They don't

want the Christmas weapons. They don't. We went round all the way to Christmas. They wanted a happy ending for us. Yeah. Why'd you wink at me when I said happy ending? What's wrong with you? Why are you winking at a child like that? That's weird behaviour. Now, also, Mr Fletcher, I heard, my sister heard,

you're not going to be with your family for Christmas. That made me cry, brother. We don't have a family and all we want is a family for Christmas. Do you want to be with them for Christmas? No, we've got a new mummy. Can we take her? But you said also your mum whacked you with a wooden spoon.

I don't want to be whacked with a wooden spoon. She probably would whack you if you were misbehaved. We're not misbehaved. We're good kids. Do you want to see us do a little dance? Ready? Only if you'll go away. We'll dance out the door, shall we? Okay, dance out the door.

Ready? You're not watching. Watch this, Mr Fletcher. I'm watching. Watch this. Wait. Watch this. Can you do this, Mr Fletcher?

Your microphone's not on. Ours is. Mine is. Can you hear me? New Zealand, hello. We've just gone very quiet. Hold on, wait a minute. Wait a minute, everybody.

This is Fletch. I told you you were being too aggressive with the white thing. You were being so aggressive. Why were you so quiet? You really Vaughn'd that. Stay with us, everyone. I told you you were being too aggressive with the wiping. You were being so aggressive. Why were you so quiet? You really warned that. Have you turned your game right down? No, I've turned it on to the studio PC. Oh, do you need another one of the microphones?

No, standby. Do you need my microphone and I'll grab that microphone? There we go. Disinfectant wiping, yes. I turned the setting off. Well, hell no. It wasn't that fun. Don't worry, I've cleaned the desk from Clint's COVID. You've got to be careful, I turned the setting off. Well, hell, it wasn't that fun. Don't worry, I've cleaned the desk from Clint's COVID. You've got to be careful, man.

We see some things off here. You know, you're getting willy-nilly with those. Don't you worry about it. We're all good now. I was just getting out my pin code. You quite often tell us your pin code, don't you? It's my tick. I just scream my pin code.

That would be terrible. You'd be changing it all the time. We want to talk about what's the best thing you had in your school tuck shop. Don't call us. We're not asking for calls. You made it sound like we're asking people to call us. We're not doing that. No.

We're just having a conversation. What if people just text us because we've had some texts? Yeah, absolutely text us. But if you call, God help you. I'll flip this table. God help you, don't call. Just text 9696. Get out of it.

Get out of it. Stop calling. So we want to talk about the best thing you had at your tuck shop. Can I mention, and I believe most schools had these, although I have mentioned them previously, and people did look at me a little bit puzzled, lasagna toppers. Oh, I think we had those. No, we didn't.

It was like a deep-fried lasagna. It was like a lasagna and then coated in a crummy batter and then deep fried. And they were reheated, weren't they? Yeah, they were kept in the pie wall. You can get them from the petrol station now. Those were pretty legit. Yeah. And the tuck shop.

We had like, we had, you could order food, but we also had a tuck shop where you could get like slices and cookies and pies. Oh. Yeah. The cookie, I reckon was our best one. One of those, you know, those ones they used to make them, they were like the size of your face. Oh. Yeah, the cookie, I reckon, was our best one, one of those. You know those ones they used to make, and they were like the size of your face. Yeah, plate size.

Yeah, plate size. Yeah. And I also loved getting a Moussey. Yes. So Juicy's and Moussey's. Juicy's and Moussey's. Yeah, I couldn't do a Moussey. I wasn't a Moussey fan.

I was always a Juicy. I loved a Moussey. Here's something that's going to blow your mind. Okay. In 1994, big Juicy's were 80 cents. Wow. And the small Juicy's were 80 cents. Wow. And the small Juicy's were like 50 cents.

We buy the boxes and put them in the freezer. Yeah, Aaron loves them. Moosie's. No, no, no, Juicy's. Not Moosie's. Frozen Juicy's. Aren't they still made in Nelson?

They were in Nelson. Yeah, they were. They were in Nelson. They were terrible for you. Why not? A juice. Yeah, it's just juice. Do they still have lollies

in tuck shops? Well, I don't know because we hit the standard pies. We also didn't call it a tuck shop. We called it a canteen. Exclusively. Oh, yeah. Exclusively a canteen.

I think we were tuck shop. And then we had the giant lollies. I always remember giant wine gums, giant Jaffas. Aniseed wheels? No. We had aniseed wheels. Those are old. Those are fantastic.

That's weird, eh? Whoa, whoa. Yeah, I think it was primarily for the year. Yeah, we had dollar mixes. Oh, yeah. Maybe we had dollar mixes. I can't remember. They wouldn't sell at school anymore, though, would they?

Donuts? I think they were donuts. Dude, yeah. Yeah. Cream donut and a pie. That was your ultimate $5 combo. We had, you know, like a biscuit slice. You know, like a chocolate slice with biscuits in it.

Yeah, the chef would cook them for us. That sounds very nice. Someone said I used to work in the factory that made mousses and juices. Same factory. Same people. I think the machines are white between milk and juice, or there was just a couple of juicy milk ones in there. Producer Jared, you went to,

because that doesn't sound very private school. No, it wasn't like, we didn't have, I mean, we had foie gras on Fridays. We had foie gras Fridays. Foie gras Fridays. Caviar on Wednesdays. Yeah, caviar Wednesdays and martini Mondays. Right.

But other than that, it was simple. Right. Producer Jared, you went to a private school. I did. Was it as bougie as that? Yeah, our tuck shop

was actually called the Pavilion Cafe. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Who needs to step it up? Somebody said Cookie time cookies kept in the pie warmer and a few different people have messaged this and were the ultimate. Was the actually ultimate.

Yeah, good stuff. Yum. I'm currently a teacher at an intermediate with a canteen. Winter or summer, kids froth the juices and the mousses.

Yeah, good stuff. So they're still going. It's a Kiwi institution, those things. Yeah, it is. Man, delish. Yeah. What else have we got in here? Somebody else. Big cookie. I want're still going. It's a Kiwi institution, those things. Yeah, it is. Man, delish. Yeah. What else have we got in here?

Somebody else. Big cookie. I want big cookie now. Big cookies. Yeah, big cookies. Can't go wrong. I went to a private school in Singapore. We had everything from fried rice, pasta, cheese, toasty, fancy drinks.

It was very cheap as well. Let's get a grip. Yeah, that's really. At Baradine. At Baradine. At Baradine. You could get Vogels with Marmite and cheese. Oh, Vogels. Marmite and cheese Vogels.

Very nice, darling. Must be nice. So a couple were on a road trip in Thailand and they were driving along and it was a really long drive and the wife took a sleep in the back seat. She was like lying down across the thing. Shouldn't do that. Okay.

Were they holidaying there? No, they're from Thailand. They're from there. Would you rent a car in Thailand? I'm just trying to think. Not in Bangkok. Not in Bangkok. Jesus. No, scooter're from Thailand. They're from there. Would you rent a car in Thailand? I'm just trying to think. Not in Bangkok. Not in Bangkok. Jesus, no.

Scooter, scooter. Now, they were going like through the jungle, basically, like through big land, not cities and stuff. Right, okay. Anyway, so about 3 a.m. in the morning, the husband's driving and nature calls. He needs to take a wee-wees. Yep.

So he pulls up the car and pops out, goes for a wee-wees. Yep. Right, gets back in the car and takes off again. Mm. A hundred miles. Now, how far is that? A hundred miles? 160 k's now.

Like a hundred, yeah. So 160 kilometres away. Yep. He realises his wife's not in the back of the car. What happened to her? So when he went out to go for a wee, she woke up and was like, oh yeah, I'll go for a wee as well. I'll go for a wee too.

Tottled off a little bit towards the jungle because you know, we girls, we've got to pop a squat. Not in the jungle. What, you just stand and pee down your leg? No, but I'd just go on the side of the road. I'd rather go in the open than into a jungle. Well, she just went in a little bit.

The problem being though, the husband didn't realise she'd done this. So he drove for so long. And then she came back and found the car was missing. Even worse, she left her phone in the car and had no money on her. So then she had no choice but to trek for 13 miles in the middle of the night into the centre of a town at about 5 o'clock in the morning, so she's been trekking for about two hours.

She finally found a police station and was like, I don't know where my husband is. And she didn't know her husband's phone number by heart, called her own phone 20 times, he didn't answer. Luckily finally, they managed to get hold of him. He was 100 miles away, 160k

away. And then he had like like, noticed and was slowly, like, retracing his steps back to try to find her. So, like, she didn't hold a grudge and they kind of got on. But I would be livid with Aaron. How long would it take you to get over that? When I die. You'd be forever. Being alone in a jungle in the middle of the night would be terrifying.

Yeah. Yeah. If you weren't, you know, planning to do it for some sort of wacky reason. And every argument going forward would always, you'd always be able to say, remember that time you left me in a jungle? Yeah. Now they're in their 50s, this couple,

and they've been married for 27 years before this happened. Right. So like there's a base there. But, God, good Lord, I would lord it over Aaron. I would. Just anything he did. Anything he said. Hey, why don't you stay in this weekend?

Hey, why don't you not leave me on the side of the road in a jungle? Yeah. Guess I'll be heading out then. Why don't you help me do the housework? Hey, why don't you help me by not leaving me on the side of the road in a jungle? And you reckon you could do that for the rest of your life together? Hey, why don't you help me by not leaving me on the side of the road in a jungle? And you reckon you could do that for the rest of your life together? Oh, I reckon you'd divorce me after a while,

but yeah, I wouldn't let it go. Anyway, I don't think I've been left behind like this, but it happens all the time. Yeah, it does. Especially in road trips, like people don't realise and then they're like off and they're going, oh my God.

We want to know when you were left behind. Maybe someone just forgot you and... Maybe you drove off and left somebody or... You had to track. Yeah, you were the person left behind. It's a sign you've got too many kids if you leave a kid behind. Yeah, wow, we all know what happens. Yeah, I think if you were a kid left behind,

you know at that point you're not the favourite, right? Yeah, totally. Yeah, they literally don't care. My parents are obsessed with me. They'd never leave me behind. Ask Kevin McAllister, he'll tell you. He'll tell you straight. Give us a call. 0800

DALS at M is our number. We'd love to hear from you. You can text through 9696 and then your message. When were you left behind? It could have been even by a parent, by a friend, by a partner, school camp, the Kentucky bus, the cruise ship.

We have asked when you have been left behind somewhere by someone. There's a couple in Thailand. The man drove off for bloody 160 kilometres. Columnators. Not realising that his wife wasn't in the back. Sandra, this has happened to you. How long?

This was a little while ago, but I'd flown to see my husband. He was working away and now had worked all day and flying down to Nelson and arrived. I think it was like, it was just before midnight. Yeah. And I rang him and he didn't answer. And I waited and I waited and And I waited probably three hours.

Three hours? Three hours. He was all jolly. He'd been having a few drinks with a friend that he'd met down there that he hadn't seen for a very long time. And we were supposed to be going skiing. So we were supposed to go to some, I didn't even know where it was. It was way away from where he was.

So he gets out and he's wobbling over. He's like, hi, honey. I'm like, mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I felt that. Yeah, it's when you first want to hear from your partner when you haven't seen them for a little while. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, so I was like, no, get in the car. He's like, okay. I'm like, I don't know. Give me the keys. So I took the keys off and he's like, do you know where you're going? I'm like, of course I don't. I've never been to Nelson before.

So I started driving and he fell asleep. Of course. It's for the best actually that he has a snooze. Yeah, he had a really good snooze. And I drove and I was like just driving because he said it's just straight. So I was like, okay, I'll just drive straight. Famously terrible directions. Yeah.

So I was like driving and I started going through like a forestry area and I was like, this can't be it. So I turned around and I went back to this little town and there was nothing open, but there was some people having a party. So I thought, oh, I'll just stop at a party. And I went in and the guys were really nice and they thought it was hilarious that he was asleep in the car drunk. And they gave me really good directions,

but they asked me if I needed a drink first. Jesus, Nelson, eh? Yeah. Sandra, what the hell is happening? I know. So I finally found the place, which was just in the middle of nowhere. And he wakes up and he's like, oh, are we here?

I'm like, yeah, get the bag. And so he got the bag. Are you still with this gentleman? Who got left behind? Oh, me. She got left at the airport. Oh, all that time ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then we just got the rest of this. Gotcha. Sarah, Sandra, thank you. Mal, when that time ago. Gotcha, gotcha. Sandra, thank you. Mal, when did you get left behind? I was five years old. My brother was about eight and we lived in a small town called T-Row and our parents booked us

in for a holiday programme but the holiday programme had actually moved to Patatatou and so they just dropped us off at the door, went to Hamilton for the day to Big Fresh, did their monthly shot for the whole day. A police officer saw us about 10 minutes after they dropped us off, and he was my dad's best friend,

and we spent the whole day at the police station. So obviously it's the 90s, no mobile phones. Yeah, I was going to say, when you said Big Fresh, I was immediately taken back to the 90s, early 90s. Yeah, and so we spent the whole day at the police station and then they came back to pick us up at the time. You know, the holiday programme was finished about half three. And we were there with the police officer. And that had a great day.

How was the day? How was the programme? You were like, we didn't go. It would have been way better than a school holiday programme too. Yeah. Especially in a small town. I know. I just like to bring it up every time, like, my dad gets, like,

people think he's really trustworthy and, like, a really good guy. And I just like to remind them that once he leaves, he's here for the day. Yeah. Instead of the cop session all day. Mel, thanks for your call. John, when were you left behind? Hey.

Oh, I was a I was about 16 years old and we were on a school trip we went rock climbing in Derbyshire in the UK oh Derbyshire darling Derbyshire

we love Derbyshire it wasn't that fancy no no no okay and we we were staying at a campsite and then the teachers in the evening

they took us to the local pub, which was in a little village a few miles away. Of course, as you do. Of course. As you do. We're 16, near enough. Yeah, close enough. And so we all go there, have a shandy.

And then a few hours later... We all go there, darling, and have a shandy. And then a few hours later, we're leaving, and I'm a little bit delayed. I need to go to Balloon. And I go outside, and there's no minibus. There's a minibus in the left. Oh, my God.

There's about ten of us. And I think, ha, ha, ha, yeah, good joke. You'll be back in two minutes. And I wait and I wait, and then nobody comes back. And you're half cut because you've had a shandy. And he's broken the seal. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's done for.

I ended up spending all night wandering around the village. Oh, my God. And there was a telephone box and I got newspapers out of the rubbish bin, put them in the telephone box and tried to get comfortable in the bottom of one of the... You made a little list, John. You made a little mess, John! You made a little mess! And then the next morning at about six o'clock, the teacher arrived in the minibus going,

oh, my God, thank God you're safe. I'm sorry, the next morning? What year was this? So that would have been 1986. That was when it was okay to have a shandy with the teachers. 1990s, you might have got away with it. 2000s, you're not getting away with it anymore. Definitely not. You would have had to have been wearing a high

vis vest too on a school outing. Yeah, yeah. A shandy with the teachers and they left you behind. Next time my kids are at a school outing, I'm putting an Apple ear tag on them. Yeah, do it. I know where they are. John, thank you. Some messages in.

When were you left behind? I was left at the St. Luke's. Cray, she's a little kid. That's at the St. Luke's shopping centre. Oh, yeah. You can drop your kids off, you pay whatever, and you can just go shopping with them. Oh, they just got left there. Stood at the little shaped window waiting for them to come back for me because I missed

my parents so much. I finally saw them, and they walked straight past me and out the door to the car. They couldn't hear me banging on the window saying, I'm in here, I'm in here. It took them getting home before they realised and came back for me. Quite a dumb. When we were leaving and I said to

the people who were in charge, they walked out without me. I saw them, they walked out without me. They were like, no, you must have seen somebody else. No, no, we just had a long shopping trip. You must have seen somebody else. Lots of people getting left behind. My mum left my sister at church when we were kids. She was rushing to get to Sunday drinks at her friend's house.

It's important what you do straight after church. You've got to get licked. The kid needed a little bit more Jesus as well, you know. Yeah, there were four of us kids and when we got there, we were like, mum, and she was like, shush, and wouldn't let us finish our sentences until she ended up having to go back to get the kid from the church. Hell of a place to leave. I mean, if I

was at a church, I'd just assume that child was abandoned. Yeah. I'd start the adoption process. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day.

Lingerie week here at Fact of the Day. That fact that I just told you off air before we came on, is that too rough to be a fact of the day one day this week? No, I don't think so. Just don't say the P word. Underwear. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's not today's fact of the day. Today's fact of the day, because yesterday, the first day, we talked about the monobosom. Yes. This was a look in the earliest of 1900s.

The appearance of one central breast. Yes. Like a pigeon. No gap between. Already. And then it's flowing over. This is way sexier than standpoint. Oh, I'm already just central breast. Yes. Like a pigeon. No gap between. Already. And then it's flowing over. This is way sexier than standpoint. I'm already just loving it.

Well, today I want to talk to you about sweater girls. Heard of sweater girls? Yeah, I have. And bullet bras. That's the pointies. The bullet bra we're probably most familiar with would be Madonna's bullet bra. The only way Madonna just wore the bra and it was very pointy, coney, and everyone was And then what was Austin Powers?

It had a gun in it, eh? That was the... A gun bosom. Fem box? Fem box. Is that what they were called? And they had a gun in the bosom. That's right.

And those weren't bullet bras. Those were fluffy bras. Yeah, right. Okay. As a boy that was 17 years old when Austin Powers came out, I can tell you in detail what that looked like. From memory alone. So the bullet bra

is the pointy bra and the sweater girls were called sweater girls because, of course, you put a sweater over top of them to accentuate the bullet-ness. Also, no underwire in these bras. It was all in the pattern of the bra that led. Now, when you're making

they could be made out of four quarters that were sewn together and peaked out. Right. And the stark opposite to yesterday, the monobosom we talked about, these were pulled apart and pointed out to be two very individual breasts. Yeah, right. So they were made out of four that were either sewn together

so that they peaked or a spiral form that went up the cup and came to a peak. And when was this big? What kind of? 1950s. Yeah. 1940s, 1950s. You think about girls with their swing skirts, hey?

Tiny waist, sweaters, pointy boobs. Your Marilyn Monroe's. And it's never become a thing again, has it? Pointy boobs, no. Pointy boobs, no. It's not. Well, no. There was the Madonna thing. It's not. Well, no. There was the Madonna thing.

You should bring them back. That was just the. Just bring her back. I'm trying to just naturally. Right. Yeah. Rounding out. But, of course, you put a sweater over top of them,

a tight sweater over top of them to really accentuate so that they would then be called sweater girls. In fact, it was a phrase used by a police officer who said that he believed sweater girls and the way that they were really accentuating their individual breasts and, you know, really taking the attention of the male eye was indicative of the downfall of polite Christian society. Oh, really?

Because of our pointy boozies. Because of your pointy booz Christian society. Oh, really? Yeah. Because of our pointy boozies. Because of your pointy boozies. So, yeah, Marilyn Monroe. They make me want to ram right. Yeah, they make you want to. Maybe they want to shoplift a couple of sausages. Yeah. Definitely.

A couple of sausages. A six-pack of sausages. Yeah. Keep it crazy. So today's fact of the day is that sweater girls and their bullet bras were famous before Madonna. And with the downfall of modern society.

And the beginning of the downfall of modern Christian polite society. Turn those boobs. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Yesterday, I'm on a journey to health. I'm back on a journey to health because I woke up feeling yesterday like a flaming can of garbage. Is this after your big long weekend? Yeah, I've been burning the candle.

I've been getting the candle and I've just been dipping it in gasoline and then setting it ablaze. So you're burning it from both ends and the middle and all around. It's engulfed in flames. I'm engulfing the candle is what I'm doing at the moment. You are almost immediately a gooey pile of soy wax. Yeah, and I know this happens when my eyes get eczema

and I get a bit clogged and I get very histamine-y and far out. And yesterday I had to drink baking soda and stuff I was like, enough. Why do you have to drink baking soda? Because I had terrible reflux and I couldn't find any Gavi. Is that all Gavi is? Yeah, it's baking soda.

It's just bicarbonate soda. Bicarbonate of soda. Is there anything baking soda can't do? Oh my God, it tastes disgusting when you do it like that. You do like a teaspoon, or I do a teaspoon of baking soda, water, get it down, but it gets rid of it. Yeah, right. Do you know what else gets rid of it?

Not treating your body like trash. Anyway, so part of my journey to health yesterday, I went to the class. Baking soda sounds easier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, actually, I'll just keep up the baking soda. I went to our gym class that Fletch and I sometimes like to go to. I've been back maybe like...

Sporadically. Sporadically like eight times this year. Yeah. And yesterday I was like, right, we're doing Tuesday and Thursday. Those are the days that he goes, I'm going to go with him. But I'm struggling because I'm really unfit. I've lost all my fitness and I'm starting from scratch. You've been doing great though.

I've been doing all right. Yeah, thanks. This guy next to me, eh? What a prick. He's a piece of shit. Yeah. Anyway, so in this. I'll say it at 8.42.

Thank you very much. You've known him for far longer and I would have liked more of a warning of how much a prick he was. I tried to warn you. He's a new friend to me and I just, yeah, I've been blindsided. Yeah, I've said many times we're more work colleagues. Yeah, I know.

He said that. He said, oh my God. Yeah, let's add this to the bloody fire. The trainer comes over and we were being silly with each other during one of the movements. This is a ceremony. It's full on. It's a hard class. It's full noise. It is hard. We're each other during one of the movements. This is a ceremony, guys. It's full on.

It's a hard class. It's full noise. It is hard. We're being silly with one of the movements and kind of like Fletch comes over and pushes my stuff over. I'll go put my foot in his rings, for example. And then she said something.

She said to him, are you guys friends? And he said, oh, yeah. More work, colleagues. Rough. Rough. Rough. Rough. I said we were secretly in love, but whatever.

We're somewhere in between. And then we're on the barrel rope side by side, because we like to do it side by side. And there's a countdown that comes down, and I always look at it, and I was stopping. I was getting tired, and I would stop, and then the bell would go. We were doing like five sets of 20 seconds,

and then you get like a little five second rest. Man, I don't know about you guys in the producer, but I'm loving this story. I hope everybody listening is enjoying this boring story about a gym routine as much as I am. It is way more exciting than your fricking stair climber that I get notified, we'll spend an hour on the stair climber.

Is it because I'm watching TV on the stair climber? Walking into an early grass. It is.. Is it because I'm watching TV on the stair climber? Walking into an early grave. It is. I bought it. I am up those stairs. We're moving. We're doing different things. You're just going steep.

I don't come on the radio and be like, hang in there, guys. I've got a great story about my time on the stair climber. No, the story is that he called over the instructor and then told on me that I was stopping before the timer. So then she watched me for the rest of the class. You are welcome. Asked my name and then said every time we would like watch at the clock and be watching me

and make sure that I didn't stop. And then I was nearly like your other friend, James, if we are really your friends, who nearly had a bloody spew. I think he just keeps people less fit than him around to make himself feel fitter by comparison. Oh, 100% that's what he's doing. You'll notice I wasn't invited on the weekend to partake

in the walk that had a lot of stairs. No, I wasn't invited either. Because I'm a stairs boy. Oh, well, we can do that. We can do that hike if you want. No, I want, you can go on your little hikes and me and Vaughn can sit. Don't invite me. What are you inviting me for?

I'm happy by myself. Because then I won't get to hang out with either of you. That's fine. That's also fine. We're hanging out here. So great. You've slotted me back into colleagues as well. I'll stop knocking on you. I just wanted you to get the most out of your workout.

Oh, wow. I'm sorry that this body is so horrendous to look at. Tomorrow he's going to rock it in an F45 singlet. It feels like it ain't. It does. It feels like he's, I want you to get the best from your workout. He's close to doing those chin-ups, you know, the ones where you swing your whole body.

Yeah, you woof the whole thing and you get on top of the bar. Fine. All right. Colleagues it is. Play your little buttons, push your little buttons. Oh, no. He'll come to be knocked on to the gym was he trying to impress

the gym instructor not his type at all because he's not very good at flirting no more at my alley than his right

play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley Tinder Tinder matchmaker this is basically

what we all do but they've just they've just claimed it and rebranded it as an actual thing. I know Vaughn loves doing this. I know you do too. I do this all the time. People that have been in long-term relationships

love grabbing someone's Tinder and just going through it. So more than 75% of active Tinder users ask their friends' opinions about their matches. So Tinder's just integrated it directly into the app. So you can go onto the app and you can go start a matchmaker session. Yeah. So say you were on Tinder Fletch and I would take your phone, I'd start a matchmaker session and you would see my picks for you.

And they'd be in their own category. They wouldn't just fall into your picks. Oh, right. So you wouldn't actually match them. I would then see yours and then I could decide if I matched. It's kind of, yeah. It's like me, I determine them worthy of a swipe right, but you still ultimately get to swipe the right.

I'm not forcing you into any engagement. So I won't be able to chat or send messages to the partner. You just get to see them and be like, oh yeah, I actually wouldn't have put eyes on that one, but thank you for bringing that to my attention. Because I've got friends that are very quick to swipe no. And I'm always like, open it up a bit. Open it up. There you go.

And they're like, okay. They've just picked a bad picture. And then you leave and they just unmatch. Yeah. So they're saying that friends, family, parents can have a go on this. Jesus, I would love to. Meddling. They're too meddling.

Imagine the type of people that your parents would choose for you compared to who you would choose for yourself. I think I'd choose you good matches. Yeah, you'd choose goodies. Vaughan, I think you'd choose some goodies. I don't believe you're a fussy person and just give it all. Oh, I'm a little fussy.

Right, right, right. No, Vaughan would get excited when he sees guys on tractors and stuff. He'd swipe with those. Yeah, a lot of bogans coming in. It's not not my type, is it? You want a man not afraid to work the land. Yeah. So we're saying, I think this is a great thing

because I do it for my friends all the time and it's so fun and it's great because it'll bring people into the Tinder app that don't use it because they've got partners, like me. And then we can sell them advertising. So would you have to download Tinder to use your friend's matchmaker

or you still use their phone? I'm trying to see that. I think... You would use their phone. You would use their phone, yeah. Yeah, right, okay. Because that's pretty much an excuse for a dirtbag to have Tinder on their phone.

Yeah, it really is. I was just doing that matchmaking thing with my friend. And me, just sitting out there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure if you could get it on your phone. Like, if I could be at home doing it for you. Handing your phone over to your friend group was the original vibe check. Obviously, you want your friends to do it.

So Tinder Matchmaker is a fun way to get the bestie seal of approval even before the match. Right, okay. This is good. This is fun. It's hard out there. Shivers, guys. 10 out of 10 podcast. That one. Yeah. I out there Shivers guys 10 out of 10 podcast That one

Yeah I think two of us Were 10 out of 10 And one of us wasn't Or who was that Which one We'll just leave that We'll just leave that there
