Dr. Shawnee messaged me saying I was correct. It's named after the pouch of a marsupial. It's a pouch. Dr. Shawnee messaged me saying I was correct. It's named after the pouch of a marsupial.

It's a cyst. They drain the cyst and then they effectively pull it inside out and stitch it so that it can't fill up again. Huh. Well, that sounds

like a marsupial's pouch when turned inside out. But it's small on a small scale. Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, I guess over time, swelling reduces and back to normal. Yeah, good luck if you're eating your breakfast right now,

No burnt behaviour. There's been no, like, smashing bottles been well behaved. No couches have been burnt. Behaviour. There's been no like smashing bottles in the street. No excessive public drinking. No, what was the other thing they said? Oh, music down. Yeah. You know.

Reasonable hours. Absolutely unbelievable. At university now, it's sort of the kids that did high school from home. A lot of COVID. Yeah, yeah.

All through high school would have been on and off actually going to school. So socially, they're just a bit like, oh, I've had enough. Yeah. My battery's drained. Yep. And I absolutely vibe with that. But I've got the top six entry-level naughty activities for Dunedin students. Just to get them started being the ratbags that we've become used to there in Dunedin.

Next on the show, let's talk about a man who was wrongly convicted of murder and after 30 years of new DNA evidence, he's been released. Is this in America? It's in Hawaii, yeah. He's done his first interview since being released from prison after 30 years

and he's noticed one thing about all of us. Oh, societal change. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. A man in Hawaii, Gordon Cordero, he has just been released from prison after being sent there for murder. Murder. Because new DNA technology has found it wasn't him.

All right. And if he hadn't had this new DNA technology, would he have just been there for the rest of his life? I'd think so, yeah. I mean, apparently they're still appealing it, the state prosecutors. But, I mean, you'd imagine he's going to get a lot of money. I was going to say he's in for a payout. But he did just lose 30 years of his life, so that's absolutely fair.

Yeah, so he's been released and experiencing the world for, I mean, think about all the change that we've had in 30 years. His first plans, visit his mother's gravesite. I think she died just before he went into prison. Oh, okay. He's going to go to Costco, and he's going to get a big steak. What year did Costco launch? Surely there was a Costco.

It's been in America for a long time. 1983 in Washington, the United States, but maybe not in Hawaii. Maybe not. Maybe he's heard about all the incredible bulk buying. Yeah. 1988, Costco opened its first warehouse store in Oahu. Okay. Well, he's on Maui.

He was on Maui. So he's also done his first interview on Zoom. Imagine what that would be like. I'd imagine you might've seen a lawyer. Yeah, maybe. Would you have done a Zoom appearance for an appeal? Well, if he was trying to get out, maybe some of it was over COVID. So maybe.

Well, he's done his first, uh, Zoom interview, uh, with media. And the big thing he's noticed, um, now that he's walking around and and amongst people is everyone's head down on their phones. Yep. He's just like, everyone is connected. 1995 was 30 years ago. So there would have- There would have been mobile phones, but they would have been strapped to a belt

or being in a car. And very few people had them. Very few. Very few people had them. Maybe real estate agents. Yes. And highfalutin yuppies. Yeah.

And stock agents. They always had them in their car driving around the country. Yeah. Wow. But yeah, he's not. Totally. And it's getting worse and worse. Oh, yeah.

It's insane. Yeah. Like I walked past some tradies the other day on their lunch break and everyone was on their phone, head down. And I was like. Bring back the good old days where tradies spent their lunch hour gawking a woman and catcalling them, you know? The good old days.

Bullying the apprentices. Yeah, really racking up some poor bastard who didn't know what he wanted to do at school so his parents convinced him to get into the trade and now he's just been subjected to bullying all day long. I mean, I only noticed this because I was walking to the gym and my phone was in my bag. Otherwise I'd normally be probably on your phone as well.

Walking and on my phone as well, like the rest of us. Yeah. But yeah, this is- Wait till it goes for a drive. And he just looks around and sees how many people are like, look down, look down. On their phone, yeah. On their phone, yeah.

It's bad. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, I remember the days of good online trends, like pouring a bucket of ice over your head and then nominating three more people to do it. Yes. Or, or, or. Planking.

Planking. Lying down in a flat spot, and people would be worried, and adults were like, I think my child's on drugs. They're lying still. We were on the news talking about planking. Do you remember that?

We were once upon a time with a friend of the show, David Faria. To explain it. That it was, yeah. To people that there was nothing to be concerned about. It was just a silly online. Well, that was nothing, was it? Because they're just getting dumber and dumber,

but dropping heavy things on your feet. Yeah. Is the latest. I've seen a few of these. Thing. Like air fryers, toasters, vacuum cleaners, glass jugs, a table. I've seen a few of them. I've checked.

I said to my children last night, what's the deal with this dropping? And they were like, it's dumb, right? I was like, it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You're going to do yourself some serious. How many bones are in the foot? Lots. There's so many.

I've got to really. Because I know the bones in the hand and the foot. If you break them, they're a real bastard. They're a real bastard. The foot is a complex mechanical structure of the human body composed of 33 joints, 26 bones, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to bear weight,

allow for locomotion, and transmit force. That's the coolest description I've ever heard of a foot. Yeah, that's good. I think I've got a foot kink now, just of that description alone. Are people wearing shoes? No. Oh, my God.

Okay. Not all the time. I've got a really bad habit of putting my foot out to break the fall of my phone or some things that I drop. Do you ever do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's okay unless the phone hits on the point. Yeah. And it hits a certain part of the foot and that can really hurt the foot.

But it's either that or you pay like a grand or whatever to get your phone fixed or get a new phone. Yeah, or you accidentally put your foot out but you like drop kick it and the phone goes miles away and you're like, I didn't mean to do that. I meant to cushion its fall, not boot it 55 metres.

But I would say don't. Experts also say don't As foot injuries can take a long time to heal What's that ACC ad? Have a hmm Have a hmm Have a hmm Yeah

They should do a new ACC ad called Hey Don't be a dickhead That would be effective too Yeah I don't know Don't boot heavy things as ads on TV All the experts

Everybody That's ever had anything to do with a foot Don't boot heavy things as ads on TV. All the experts, everybody that's ever had anything to do with a foot. Don't do it. And now as a recently minted member of the foot community, don't hurt those beautiful little feet. Send me photos of them. They're money makers. It's like dropping a heavy item on your face. That's your money maker.

Now you're dropping a heavy item on your foot. Just send me the photos and we'll see what happens. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. From the Notes app on Vaughn's phone, this is the Top 6. Senior Constable John Woodhouse has said in more than his 10-year career as a campus police officer, never had a year where couches all survived the return of the university students. Into Neidan, yeah.

Yeah. He said no reported couch fires, hardly any serious incidents. Overall, the behaviour from students was excellent. Music was cut off by 12 and 1am with no issues. People dispersed as they were supposed to without incident and their behaviour was just getting better and better each year. He's a proud dad. This generation does not know how to party. I'll say it.

Producer Shannon, you did a no-Week in Dunedin. Yeah, I was there in 2020, and I was working for ZM, and we ran the O-Week event, and there was a bouncy castle. There was vomit in the bouncy castle. It was rough. It wasn't fun. That's how an O-Week should be. Yeah.

A bit of vomit everywhere, you know? The good old days. I never went to one of the street parties, though, because I was scared, even though I was only like 20. But it felt older than an 18-year-old doing it. 2020 pre-COVID? Just before COVID lockdowns?

Yeah. So I lived there six months and then, you know, came up here. Yeah, good times. And I did see a couch on fire and it felt good. Like I didn't do it. Like the world was whole. Yeah. And things were normal. Very warm. It was the only way to cleanse the couch of its sins

and the sins that it had seen and sins that had partaken on said couch. They emit a lot of heat. And a lot of really bad black smoke. Yeah. Really bad rubber. Oh yeah, it's bad for your health. I've got the top six entry-level naughty activities for Dunedin students. Obviously, they can't

and I am upset about it. You're kidding. I'm not kidding. You're kidding. I'm not kidding. More than 30 years Of playing Irene Because Alf left

Didn't he A while ago Yeah he retired Ray Murgier Ray Murgier Who we've met A couple of times And is just

The most amazing bloke You'll ever meet Stellar bloke Well Lynn is 72 years old I guess I've never Really put an age On Irene

72 Yeah She loves the diary In real life She did She did I think she quit the day is 72 years old. I guess I've never really put an age on Irene. 72? Yeah. She loves the diary in real life, eh? She did. I think she quit the darts. Oh, did she? Okay. She quit the darts. So 33 years of being Irene. So 72, when we used to work afternoons, I'd catch a

morning repeat of Home and Away quite often. Of course you would. So that would have been 20 years ago. So she would have been 52 then. Yeah, okay. I found some retro Irene. Let's hit it. I was running late.

Irene, if my son swallows a Chinese checker, I want to know about it. How do you think I felt when Angel just wandered in and told me I dropped everything and rushed straight home? Well, he must be all right of you yelling at me. That is not the point. Yelling at me?'re yelling at me. That is not the point. Yelling at me? Yelling at me.

So she said, you know, over the course of those 33 years, she's worked with Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher, Samara Weaving, Margot Robbie, these massive names in Hollywood now. And she's just going to do it. Were they all of her foster kids at some stage? No. Chris Hemsworth wasn't, was he? I don't remember him being in the house. I remember Isla Fisher being in the house. So she might have had it. She might have been a foster. Well, she's done really well, hasn't she?

She married Borat and then got divorced. And then separated from Borat. But she's doing very well for herself. Yeah. So she joined in 1993. She replaced someone who was already playing Irene. Irene was a like second tier character. Right. Irene was a, like, second-tier character. Right. And then a serious regular when Lynn started playing her. And she's one of the longest-serving members of the show. I'm, like, they're going to gas that soon, right?

I don't know why. Because they've cancelled Neighbours again. Oh, I know. Neighbours got cancelled. And then Amazon picked it up, and then they cancelled it. Yep, yep. And then, oh, you just wonder if people are watching. But they were competing 7pm soaps in Australia.

Right. But I know Home and Away does really well in the UK, right? So I just Googled Home and Away viewership. Yeah. It's consistently RTE's most watched soap opera. Is that the Irish? I think it's the Irish network, yeah. And the series was streamed

online by 4.9 million viewers. I mean, that's the thing. Maybe not as much now as Shortland Street when people go overseas. It's a great connection to home. Like the accents and the people you're familiar with and people watch it to avoid the homesickness. And I think Home and Away was the same, but also had... Like Neighbours had

probably a bigger following in the UK than it did in Australia towards the end. Yeah, yeah. Which is, I think, why they picked it up again, but obviously it's not doing that, hasn't done that well. Right. But it's probably good for Australian tourism as well. Oh, the beach.

The beach always looks good. All the Brits and the Irish love to flock to Bondi and turn pink. So in 2024, Home and Away recorded a total TV national reach of 1.4 million viewers. In Australia? Yeah. That's not much, is it? 1.4? Nah, not for a...

Not for a country that's that big. They're about that many millions. But, I mean, doing really well, still overseas. Home and Away tops 900,000 viewers on Mondays. Another story. Huh? Who's actually watching Home and Away in 2022? That's right. A Reddit post, so that's three years ago. So have they announced how's actually watching Home and Away in 2022. That's right.

I read a post on that so that's three years ago. So have they announced how she's leaving Home and Away? I haven't seen it. Are they going to kill her off? Like if you could choose

how would you leave a soap? I'd want the option to pop back for like a big event. So I don't want to be killed off. I'd be as far as I reign I've won the lotto.

Oh yeah and you're moving to I'm moving to live with someone you've never heard of or someone that was mentioned in 2007 ever so briefly yeah

I'm gonna go and do that and then you've always got the option if your KiwiSaver's running low to do a couple of episodes yeah yeah

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. Ice creams.

Delicious. Gelato. Step to the side. It's not your time. It's not your time. Gelato. Step to the side. It's not your time. It's not your time, gelato. I love gelato. Frozen yogurt. It's not 2012.

Over there with you. Gelato is the best. It's got to be ice cream. Nah, it's ice cream. I'd go gelato over ice cream. That could be another silly little poll for another time. Yeah. But I had a heated discussion with my mates

about the best type of ice cream because I'm a scooped, I'm a rolled ice cream in a cone guy. It's great stuff. It can change so it can be like, yeah, I'll have

two different flavours, I'll have eight scoops if I want to. Yeah. You might be surprised but I voted for the posh. You put posh ice cream on a stick?

I put posh ice cream on a stick. I'm talking your Memphis Meltdowns, your Magnums, your, all those other ones. Yep. The carpety ones. Oh, they're lovely. They're posh. They're small though.

They are small. You need to. I'll get them at the movies and they'll say $7 and I'll be like, what? What? What? Or an ice block. To be honest, my ranking goes roll ice cream, then an ice block. Oh no. I love an ice block. Ice block last. But I'll go through the rolled ice cream, then an ice block. Oh no.

I love an ice block. Ice block last. But I'll go through the thing that gets me about the ice cream on the stick. I'll go through it with the speed of an ice block, but I've paid

premium ice cream prizes. You can only pick one. Is it scooped ice cream in a cone? Is it ice cream on a stick? Or is it an ice block? Coming in at last place, it's ice block.

I knew it would be. Second, at 18%, it's ice cream on a stick, but scooped ice cream in a cone. Romped home with 75%. It's a Kiwi classic. 75%.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I love a goody-goody gumdrops. Yeah. But there's something about a posh ice cream on a stick. It's just yum. It just goes too quick. Yeah, it does. Ryan raises a good point.

In this summer heat, nothing other than ice block is refreshing. Everything else is too milky. Yeah, true. If you're going for a refresh. Melts quick as well, the ice cream on a cone. Yeah, you've got to really. Ice cream in tub is all ounces inferior. Says Alicia.

Or do you think she's buying a posh tub? You know, because you get some of them at the little posh tubs. Your Ben and Jerry's and stuff. Yeah. I don't know. Or she just wants heaps. Yeah, the supermarket tubs, the bigger ones. Yeah, the two litres. Yeah.

Are they two litres? No, they're like a litre. A cardboard ones. Yeah. But maybe she just likes not being behest to the man's amount of scoop. Yeah. Yes, ice cream in a cone, but only a waffle cone, please and thank you.

She's a waffle cone snob. Yeah, fair. Oh, yeah. She's a waffle cone star. Fear. Yeah, I'm all about a gay time cone. Yep, you do. Even a little gay time cup cones. Yes. I don't like the cone. I'd rather it in a cup, says Denise.

My kids are like, this drives me mental. They're like, ice cream, and they're like, do you have cups to have them? And I'm like, no. But the cone is an edible treat. It's a way for treat. It's a dairy. They don't have tubs. Yeah.

Sometimes they do. Gelato places do. Have a little tip-top tub. Oh, do they? The branded one. Yeah, right. Scooped ice cream is the goat,

says Earl. And Earl's not wrong. I'm on your team, Earl. Ice cream on a stick purely due to accessibility, said Rita. Hard to find a rolled ice cream these days.

Yeah, because if you get a real fruit ice cream, it's squirted out the bottom of the soft serve machine, isn't it? Yeah. It grinds it up and spits it out. A lot of dairies do, but yeah, a lot of dairies don't bother.

It's obviously admin. You find a good one and you find someone with a strong wrist and you're away. And you want the big scoops too. Yeah. Kate said, rolled ice cream, but only if it's Gold Rush. Otherwise, what's the point? Gold Rush does slap. Gold Rush is second to goody- Goody Gumdrops for me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good stuff. Yeah. Creamy Cone All Day, says Joel. Brianna says Cyclone Ice Block All The Way. Now, that's an ice block that spins. Yeah, yeah. Spins up the stick.

I can see the appeal of that. Emma said Real Fruit Ice Cream is the best and something I miss so much from home. New Zealand flag, New Zealand flag. Oh, is that someone living overseas? Yeah. Does no one else do that? It is nice because it's the fresh berries. It's so good.

And soft serve. It's amazing. Yeah, it's really good. It's really good stuff. So, silly little poem. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. There's been a high-profile divorce in LA.

A former mayor of LA. I'd never heard of this guy. It must have been a mayor a long time ago. Antonio Vallegosa. He's 72. Why do you just sort of keep tabs on who's the mayor of LA? Who's the new mayor of LA? I didn't even know that they said our British Prime Minister so-and-so

and so-and-so had something to say. I was like, what? Who's that? I thought I was on board with, British Prime Minister so-and-so and so-and-so had something to say. I was like, what? Who's that? I thought I was on board with the British Prime Minister. They're changing rapidly. No, I watch a lot of political podcasts, so you kind of pick up on these things. Who's the current mayor of LA?

I don't actually know. I think it's a lady. Karen Bass. Yeah, Karen Bass. That's right. Because you remember she was overseas during the LA fires and people got upset. Was she overseas? She was overseas and- But then she didn't Because you remember she was overseas during the LA fires and people got upset. She was overseas and... But then she didn't light

the fires and go overseas. It doesn't matter now. She didn't plan. They weren't in her diary. If you're a politician, you should just never leave the country. So this former mayor, he was on a second marriage. His second wife, Patricia, they finalised their split in the

Superior Court in LA a couple of weeks ago and the court documents were obtained by the news and they've kind of come out it was a seven year marriage, they had a 3.5 million dollar Beverly Hills home, he gets that he also walks away, I'm imagining he had a prenup because I think he was quite a wealthy I think he was quite a wealthy. Oh, yeah, yeah, you said second and he was mayor a while ago. I think he was a wealthy businessman. So he also gets his pension and a 2024 Volvo.

Sensible. Yeah, but it's something else that's come out of the marriage that's made people go, huh? He got the muscle, mister. They had an in-home muscle. No, she got the muscle, mister. By the way, for those absolutely enthralled. Yes.

With whether or not the country's largest supermarket is going to have the country's largest muscle, mister. By the way, for those absolutely enthralled with whether or not the country's largest supermarket is going to have the country's largest muscle, mister, we've got our journalists on. We have got Bryn from the newsroom on to this. Yeah, apparently the largest supermarket in New Zealand will open at 7.30 and we'll be all over this. We will have our eyewitness correspondents on the ground to tell us about the muscle, mister.

She got the muscle, mister. She's not allowed to use his last name because he's worried it'll start a business. She'll start a business with it. Off the back of his flawless reputation. But the most eye-catching thing out of this marriage settlement was

that he gets the Netflix account. Okay. And everyone's like What? Like you just You just pay Just get a new one You just pay for a new one

But Some people are saying Maybe she had Like favourites listed Yeah Or saved Or They might have had

Different profiles They might have had Different profiles Or whatever But he's so petty That he's like I get the Netflix Ah

Because it's the Under his, it's curated his viewing. And therefore, if she has a curated playlist or show she's watching, she won't be able to pick up where she left off or with saved list because she's going to have to start a new Netflix. And everyone's like, oh. I've got a lot on my head. I see a show, I'm like, I will watch that one day and I add it to my watch list. And then I forget I've got a watch on my you know I see a show I'm like I will watch that one and then I add it to my watch list

yeah and then I forget I've got a watch list and then find another show and start that and I'm like oh I've got all these shows waiting for me on my watch list

so I can see but also how old did you say he was he's 70 yeah I mean he's probably only got one email for everything and that's just how he remembers it knowing my parents

are like a similar age well they're a little bit younger yeah but you know they wouldn't be able to remember a new one start a new one thing and that's just how he remembers it. Knowing my parents are like a similar age while they're a little bit younger. But you know, they wouldn't be able to remember a new one, start a new one. But it got me thinking, I wanted to ask this morning what is the thing that you really wanted in a breakup? Doesn't have to be a marriage split but it could have been a relationship

split. Maybe it was a pet. Or an appliance. Oh yes. You know, you want the air fryer. Me personally. I love that. But if you've been know, you want the air fryer. Me personally. I love that. But if you've been together a couple of years, But I'd also be pretty stoked to get a new air fryer. Yeah, I know.

But then you've got to go buy a new air fryer. Yeah, I know. But if you, even if you were in a relationship that was long term, you splitting everything, even if you bought the appliance, they're still technically allowed half of it, right?

Yeah, you'd have to split your appliances. And there's everybody's got a favourite appliance. You have one drawer of the air fryer, I'll have the other. Yeah. No, that's not going to work. No, that's not going to work because you still need the initial... There's a shared custody of the air fryer? Yeah.

I'm not having the air fryer every second weekend, though. I'm going for full 50-50. But I don't know, maybe there's something, it's an appliance, maybe it was a pet, maybe it was like something... Duvet? Oh. Who gets the bed? Well, you've got to decide who gets the bed. there's something it's an appliance maybe it was a pet maybe it was like something duvet oh who gets the bed or you've got to

decide because do you want a new bed and a new start yeah did we talk about that earlier I think we did

yeah about that woman that refused to she got into a relationship with that guy and didn't like didn't like the fact

that she wouldn't have been the first woman to make love to him in the bed yeah I think that was a text in from a listener because that was pretty crazy but yeah who gets the bed. I think it was a text in. Yeah, I think that was a text in from a listener.

Because that was pretty crazy. But yeah, who gets the bed? Because sometimes you're like, this is my dream bed. The bed is awesome. Who gets the Netflix account? This is what we want to know this morning. 0800-DARLS-NM. You can text through 9696. What did you really want in the breakup? Or what did your partner

really want? And maybe because you were angry at the breakup, you were like, no, I that yeah you didn't really want it i mean you just didn't want them to have a sad thing it does get a bit petty doesn't it okay give us a call now what did you really want in the breakup we're talking about uh what you wanted in when when the relationship ended uh because a rich ex-mayor of Los Angeles really wants the Netflix account. Really? He got the 2024 Volvo. Yeah, he did.

He got the Bentley Hills mansion. Did we learn what she got out of this? She bought a couple of properties in Mexico. Not bad. Not bad. Don't say no to that. Not bad. Yeah, well, she got something out of it.

But maybe she really wanted the Netflix account because of all of the saved shows. And he's like, no, I'm getting that. Yeah. Weird. Well, anyway, we want to know what you really wanted in the breakup. Maybe it was a petty move. Yeah. I wanted our Trade Me account and half the air points, but they couldn't be split.

So my ex got it all and my favorite cat. What an asshole. Oh. You can split air. Oh, because I guess if you have a joint account, I'd just spend half of them. Yeah. Surely, right? I'd just book a flight to, I don't know.

How many airports are you going to? It might be a disappointing flight. It might get you there and then you've got to hire a car to get back because that's the cheaper option and then it's sort of a drive. Or the flight back's like $500. Trade me account interesting though

because if they were both selling stuff and they'd built up a good reputation with all the stars. Yes. That's an interesting one. I'd never considered that. And then you've got to start again, and you're that guy with zero stars,

and people are like, this is a scam. I don't want to trust this guy. He's new to Trade Me. Who's just joining Trade Me? Anonymous, what did you really want in the breakup? The Xbox. Okay. Do you play Xbox, or did he play it,

and you really wanted it? No, no, we both played, but he brought this one for me as a present so that when we lived apart, we could play together. Right. And then when we broke up, he came to get all his stuff and he asked where it was. And I was like, oh, we had a power cut at Friday.

Throw it out. He was absolutely livid. He's like, you know, I could have fixed it. I'd actually got a friend just to take it while he was around. Right. And then I just pawned it. So why not? Oh, you pawned it.

I was going to say, because then that night he logs on to call a duty and you're there and you're like, guess who? Take care of him. Now I'm able to get something out of it, right? Right. I can't believe you just rolled over on that at Friday night. At Friday, yeah. He was very simple.

Oh, okay. Oh, bless him. Bless. But then it's a gift as well, and isn't that the rule? Like if you gift something to somebody. Oh, 100%, but I thought I'd better just go in there

instead of just arguing a gift versus what happened to it. Yeah, good on you, mate. But you didn't want to keep the Xbox. You don't still play. No, I'm actually a PlayStation person. Oh, full transition. She's left the team. Congratulations on your transition. Take that, Microsoft. actually a PlayStation person. Full transition. She's left the team.

Congratulations on your transition. Take that, Microsoft. Thank you very much. Welcome to the Sony fano. Notamus, thank you. Some more messages in. I want the Samsung Smart TV that's connected to my Samsung phone. He doesn't even have a Samsung phone but still wants the TV.

That's a sad face. Oh, okay. Trade Me's cracking down on dual accounts. Someone's very passionate about this. You're not allowed to have a Trade Me. Oh, okay. Trade Me's cracking down on dual accounts. Someone's very passionate about this. You're not allowed to have a Trade Me, you're not allowed

to share one. It is weird. Is a Trade Me dual account like an Instagram or Facebook dual account and you're like, someone's a cheater here, someone's not trusted.

No, they're not trusted because it's not cheating, it's buying cars and being like, that thing, I've had it for ages. Yeah. That rusty thing.

I left my beautiful KitchenAid can opener and I think about it often. They got that in the separation. A KitchenAid can opener, and I think about it often. They got that in the separation. A KitchenAid can opener? Yeah, I'm going to need to see what one of those looks like. I'm imagining it's quite nice. I've seen the magnet one.

At Briscoe's KitchenAid have a whole range of utensils. I've got a couple of their utensils. A manual. Oh, my God. They're beautiful, Vaughan. Look at them. My parents got an automatic can opener that you clonk in. We had one of those and the cats would always hear it.

And that's when they know the jelly meat's coming out. The jelly meat. I asked if my father felt that that was emasculating. Oh, yeah. That there's a machine in the house now. Like, does he lack the hand strength to grip a can opener and really get into it? He didn't like me asking that. I see grip strength's very important. It is, yeah. To the aging male. It's an indicator of longevity and strength. Longevity, yeah. A can opener and really get into it. He didn't like me asking that. I said grip strength's very important.

It is, yeah. To the aging male. It's an indicator of longevity and strength. Longevity, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, just made him feel like shit. I still feel bad about it. It happened a little while ago.

I still feel that I shouldn't have done that. Someone said, we were together for 14 years and I really wanted a vinyl player. Did I get it? No, I did not. Oh, yeah. I didn't exactly want them, but I took all the Sistema lids and all the teaspoons. What are you waiting for? That's terrorism.

In my opinion, that's relationship terrorism. It's plastic terrorism. It's eco-terrorism, actually. It is because they're going to throw out all these Sistemas and get brand new Sistemas. You can't just buy the lids for the Sistemas, can you? Although, to be fair, if they were Bollig Day's stained and you know, stir fry stained, probably time for new ones. Yeah.

Yeah, and that's just the level of pettiness we're dealing with here. Somebody did message in that they'll be heading to the country's largest pack and save later today and are happy to give us a muscle mister report. We're hoping for something a little sooner. A little sooner, yeah,

because the country's largest supermarket opens at 7.30. Five minutes. I'm wondering if there is a larger than normal muscle mister. Or even if there's a muscle mister at all. Surely. Surely there's a muscle mister. East Auckland, that's a seafood enjoying compass direction. It's ripe for a muscle mister.

Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Hot, hot, hot. And I think- Last week of summer though. Ah, yeah, you're right. I am. I am right.

Are we in for a hot March? Maybe. Love a warm March. You know what I even love more? A warm April. Yeah. And then you can give me May, June, July, August. Start pulling it back for September, October.

Yeah. November, I like warm. Yeah. And then of course, December and January and February goes without saying. I like them hot. But especially in upper North Island, it gets very humid. Humid. Sleeping at night.

Hot, hot, hot. I'm always sleeping with a fan, the ceiling fan. It's amazing. Yep. Even over aircon. Your ceiling fan is a nice, your ceiling fan is a different sort of a breeze than a ground-based, oscillating $30 fan that I bought from the warehouse at the weekend. It's a gentle breeze.

It's a gentle breeze. Which I love the white noise, brown noise of a fan, but I'm not a fan of the big breeze it was giving me last night. I don't have a friend in the breeze. That's too much. It made me a little too cold. I was saying that... Bad marketing.

They're terrible. Misleading. Terrible marketing. You're a friend in a light wind? Are you kidding me? Grow up. Unless you're looking to dry your clothes on the line, then okay. Then maybe. Then maybe.

But then the sun's doing a lot of work there and I don't think it's in the praise it deserves. You were moaning about your sleep last night and how hard it is. No, I was just saying, I don't know how people sleep... I wasn't moaning No, I was just saying I don't know how people sleep. I wasn't moaning about it. I just said I don't know how people sleep with a fan going full blast.

Yeah. Not for me. And that was when producer Shannon let us in on how she cools down on a hot summer's evening. In her tiny, tiny apartment. With no window. No window in the room. So it's a room in quote marks. She's in prison.

And it's so hot. I've got a Dyson fan on my face. Like a real good fan on my face. in the room so it's a so she's in prison quote mark yeah she's in prison um and it's so hot i've got a dyson fan on my face like a real good fan on my face i've got a box fan as well and it just doesn't cut it so this summer it's a box fan box like it's a box i don't know what else is like yeah it's like a heater no a box fan a box it's a It's a box. It's like a little plastic square. Yeah, I physically couldn't give more of a description. A box fan. Oh, it's a big, big boy.

Yeah. It's a big fan. Yeah. Right, it's in a box. Yeah. Okay, so it's not on us. Why don't you just get a normal round fan? Because I don't have floor space.

I'm not going to do this box fan. Oh, right, okay. I'm not working with much. I feel like this is something you'd get in a 90s motel and you wouldn't want to leave it on overnight. No, no, no. It doesn't have a heater function for winter? No, no, no.

Okay. So I've got two fans on. I'm still hot. So I've discovered this summer that I can sleep with a can of Coke in between my boobs and it will stay there all night and it'll cool me down. And obviously it heats up after about an hour or so. Are we talking a snack size can or a...

No, no, 330. A 330 mil? What about for us smaller breasted gals? I've got nothing. I don't know. You've got nothing. There's a whole can fit there. So I will put it

and then after about an hour or two, it heats up and when I wake up to pee, I will swap it out. So I will put it, and then after about an hour or two, it heats up, and when I wake up to pee, I will swap it out. So I've got two designated cans. Wait, so you wake up in the middle of the night to pee and then get a new can out of the fridge. I'll take a can with me. So I've got two cans,

and now I'm aware that they're probably quite fizzy because I'll turn them during the night. So I won't drink from these cans. There's two cans in my fridge that have been there for two plus three weeks and they're just for sleeping. They're my sleeping kits. I've got so many questions

I just don't want to be stood down from my portfolio. I'm going to need free reign to ask questions. For inappropriate questions. No, you can ask me. Like, how does it stay in there when you're sleeping?

She's got massive bazongas. Oh, I just lost my portfolio. I'm going on to the Minister of Education. It is Vaughan's decision to stand down. I am going to stand down. But if I'm on the way out, I'm going to grab someone's arms. I'll sleep with like a little,

I won't say the term bra, but almost like a chuby top situation. Right. There is something, but it's just boobs. What about a cooling pad? So like a boob tube holds it in there. Almost, but it's just boobs. What about a cooling pad? So like a boob tube holds it in there. Almost but it's more

boob related than tube I think. Way to brag. You should see what my boobs can do. No I bought one of those migraine caps which is like a cooling pad but that only cools you down for about 20 minutes. The can is where it's at.

It really holds its cool. And if you've got two on rotate, I'm telling you. So it's like an anti-hot water bottle. You almost need a little esky beside the bed. Oh, now you're talking. Like a little cooler that you take to the beach. That's the other thing. I don't have a freezer.

So if someone texts in saying get an ice pack, I can't. That's also a way to get frostbite. Someone literally just messaged in, wouldn't an ice pack last longer? No, I can't. I don't have a freezer. But then also you're going to frostbune yourself if you fall asleep with that on you. What about getting one of those dog cooling mats from show sponsor Animates?

Where's my bell for a KPI? Is that a KPI? You can get sleep on the dog cooling mat. In fact, Animates, I know Animates listens to the show. They love the show. That's why they're one on the toilet. In fact, I know Animates listens to the show. They love the show. Well, that's why they're one of the sponsors. Could we get Shannon a Alsatian-sized cooling water? Please.

Well, we were talking about this. I take the exact same dosage as a large golden retriever for one of my medications. We share dosages. You are basically our... The other show's golden retriever. The other show's golden retriever. I just get through life.

I eat lots of things I probably shouldn't. Big smile on your face. And there's a bit of plastic in your poo. You're basically a Labrador. You ate some stuff.

I would love an Alsatian cooling mat. But for now, the cancer coke is, I will say, could be a Shudden's hack. Well, it's an odd, it's an odd hack.

It's an odd hack. Feel free to use that. Any listeners to the show now with boobs. There's some questions now you are you a side sleeper or a back sleeper or a front sleep so i sleep with four pillows and then which honestly might be my heating issue yeah i think i mean you're insulating yourself why have you got fans going and then you're blocking all the air well i've got i have to have four pillows. So I've got four pillows, a can, a teddy bear. Oh my God, the teddy bear's going to be heating you up as well. Get your teddy out.

No, he's cosy. Get you a cooling mat. Yeah, I will try a cooling mat, but I would still need my four pillows. Okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks to Animates. Animates making happy happen for pets.

And we have actually heard from Animates. Golden Retriever-sized cooling mat. On its way for Shannon. In progress. In progress. And thank you to the people who just found Shannon on Instagram. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that we just described her boobs being so big she can hold a Coke can between them.

Brilliant. It's good stuff. Yeah. It's good stuff. I mean, it's got nothing to do with that. Yeah. Also, a lot of people sleeping on cooling mats. Yeah. Messaging in. That's a way to keep cool. Okay. It's good stuff. I mean, it's got nothing to do with that. Yeah. Also, a lot of people sleeping on cooling mats. Yeah.

Messaging in like... That's a way to keep cool. Okay. Who knew? Well, from one producer to the other, because of the interest of fairness, we will let women speak on the show. Yay! Given that Hayley's not here. We have to have a sort of a womanly intro. Otherwise it's too mad. It's too many men. It's too many men. It's too many men. In 2025.

So, a little while ago, we found out that Hawke's Bay, where you're from, Carwin, has a regional bakery delicacy that the rest of the country doesn't really have slash know about. This is the southern cheese roll of Hawke's Bay. Yes. It's a meatball. So you would go into any bakery and along with pies, saucy rolls,

maybe a quiche. Yep. Yeah, some fried chick. Some fried chick. Yeah. Yeah. A puddle of hot chips. A puddle of hot chips.

There would also be. A meatball. But we're not talking, I can, we're not talking a plain rolled up mince ball and delicious tomato based Italian sauce here. No. A deep fried ball of like mushy mince. Is that like, it's like a scotched egg but without

the egg. That's what I was going to say. It's got scotch egg energy, no egg in the middle. Yeah. Okay. It's almost like you grew up with this size. Like this size? Like a golf ball. Oh, slightly bigger golf ball? Why does everyone say slightly bigger golf ball? Yeah, Mandarin.

What about a Mandarin? I've come across, you know, imagine a golf ball, but slightly bigger. I've come across that so many times recently. What, like a tennis ball? Like a hockey ball? No, no, because those are all too big. Smaller than a hockey ball. A golf ball, but just like tiny bit more.

An apple that you're like, oh man, this small apple. I wanted a big apple. So it was like, what are those little, are they called rocket apples? Maybe that size. Oh, maybe that's too big. Like a lemon. No, a golf ball. No, but I've had a giant, I've had a large lemon.

A lime, a lime. A standard lime. A lime size. Standard lime that you're like, $19 a kilogram. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, a lime. And how much would you normally pay?

I mean, you're a vegan? Vegetarian. Vegetarian. Vagina owner. I think it's the 2025. I'm going to have to ask you to step down from your portfolio. I do apologise. And it is, of course, my choice to leave my portfolio.

Yep. Give us a grab of that arm on the way out. I actually don't know what they would be now. I've been vegetarian for a long time, but maybe like max $3. Okay, Shane, who's won an award for his pies, produces 600 meatballs each week. They sell for $3 a pop. That's $1,800 in meatballs a week this guy's doing.

So if you were getting like a pie for lunch, you'd just chuck a cheeky one or two of these in there. I think it's Hawke's Bay's version of a mint savoury. Yeah, you would always get like a pie and then also a meatball and then something sweet. I never knew this was a thing.

It's when I found out about cheese rolls in the South Island. And why is everyone in the North Island scared to just make them? I feel like I have seen them creeping in. We just don't make them? We could totally steal that from the South Island. I feel like I have seen them creeping in. We just don't make them as good. I don't know what it is.

We could totally. We've got the resources. We've got the people power. We've got immigrants. And we all know immigrants. Immigrants in South Island doesn't, unfortunately. Very white. But you know immigrants always make food better.

They always do. Should I say migrants? Did immigrants sound like I'm about to cost myself my portfolio? I don't think you're the right person to lead immigration, Bourne. Well, it's in the title. I'm going to have to ask you to step down. If I'm in immigration, give us a great little arm on the way out. And so there's a whole festival as well.

Like this is something. Next month. Yeah. Yeah, well like this is something next month yeah yeah I think this is new but they're like all for the meatball and they're celebrating the fact because this is how I discovered

no one else knew about these I didn't know this was Hawke's Bay only but in fairness I haven't really looked in the meat section of a bakery in a while so I know

that they were in Auckland I've never seen them in Auckland or anywhere around the country when I've been into a bakery no neither I'm honestly contemplating my vegetarianism right now. I want one. Wow.

It's so good. That's what's going to, because I always wonder what breaks vegetarians. You often hear bacon or chicken nuggies. Apparently, mussels. I'd really like some mussels. Well, because they don't have eyes. They don't have eyes. You can eat them.

They're a living thing, though. Nah, they don't have eyes. They go. They go what? I don't think mussels do... They do, I've seen it. No, tour tours go... And pippies go...

Because they dig in the sand, but mussels grow on ropes and rocks. We need the mussel mister. Well, we are going to update you soon in the news to see if New Zealand's largest supermarket, which is open, has a giant mussel mister. Play ZM's largest supermarket, which is open, has a giant muscle mister. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Bank in the UK Barclays is under fire because of a mystery shopper program that they were running because they wanted to test their branch staff. Wow. So you're telling me in the UK you can actually find a bank that's open? Yeah, apparently they've got them still open in lots of places. Yeah.

And they wanted to test how their staff dealt with people that were blind or deaf. And so they employed some mystery shoppers and paid them 45 pounds each. So nearly 100 bucks. Yeah. New Zealand. For the day. Or just to go one off. To go in and mention they were-

I try to get that done as quick as possible. Easy money, right? Better hourly, right. The problem is, though, that they were asking people that were not blind or were not deaf. Ah. And that's where the controversy is. I can see the issue here.

Yeah, yeah. Like, why not just actually ask a blind person- Employ people, yes. Or visually impaired. Exactly. To go in and, I don't know, ask a question about an account. Yeah, a more legitimate experience. Yeah.

You would say to ask someone with visual impairment to represent their community. We were discussing this news story before the show and that's when producer Shannon said that she has been a mystery shopper. A version of. So during O-Week and all that for universities, the RAs who look after the halls have to train up.

They have to get ready for all the situations they might face in the year. And so my friend asked me to come help, and I got hired to pretend to be a drunk person. And I just got free reign to be the most annoying person ever that the RAs had to deal with. Right, so then that would be their training. But they didn't know that you were an actor? No, it was just like, be annoying.

Right. But were you actually drunk? Wait, so they said, oh, the RA in training didn't know you weren't this person. I'm sure they could tell because it was like 2pm and I was a bit older than them. But I just had to, I got to be all slack in my body and they had to like flop me around. And I was like, yeah, it was just. But then, so all day I was being a drunk person, good fun. Gets to the end of the day and they're like, hey, we need one more person.

We're doing a scenario where someone's being really racist and our RAs need to learn how to deal with the racism. I'd be like, nah, I'm just kidding. I'd be like, I'm done. I'm okay. And they were like, can you come be racist? And I said, no. Can you come be racist? Oh, sh, no. Can you come be racist?

Oh, shucks. I thought no one would ever ask. They said how it was a safe space and all that. There's no cameras. And I was like, I just. This won't come back to haunt you in later years. I was just like, I just can't bring myself to do that. And they were like, well, can you just sit there and nod

while someone else is racist? Oh, so you're not going for the role of best support. You're now the best supporting racist, not lead racist. In a motion picture. I just never forget the feeling of it, you know? And I feel like this mystery shopper who's been hired to be blind. Yeah. So I sat there.

And you agreed with the race. Wow. Well, for acting. But it was for the greater good, you know? Like, so these RAs can stop racism. One racist actor at a time, a resident assistant, is going to wipe racism from the face of the planet. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.

I saw a Reddit post of somebody starting at the University of Auckland that was asking in the University of Auckland subreddit what everybody was wearing on their first day of BCOM. Because they said they were worried they didn't want to go overdressed. They don't know anybody else doing the course. That specific paper. So what are you wearing? I don't want to come overdressed. You don't want to be in a shirt and tie. Don't want to be slobby. And I was just like, wild.

To worry about that, going to university. But then I thought that my first ever day of work and radio, I turned up in a collared shirt. Now, not like a full noise flash shirt. But people don't do that. But it had a collar. You know. And a guy that was working there was like,

you don't need to wear that. No. You look uncomfortable. You don't need to wear that. We're still wearing a T-shirt and jeans. And I was like, you don't need to wear that. No. You look uncomfortable. You don't need to wear that. We're still wearing the T-shirt and jeans. And I was like, yes. Yes. So quickly moved to T-shirt and jeans.

But I didn't really have anxiety. And you haven't looked bad, have you? You haven't looked bad. No, no, no. Not for a single day. Now if I wear a college shirt, someone says, job interview, is it? Yeah. That's how much.

Or just come from a funeral. Yeah. And sometimes they have. Yeah. But that's how I work. I just come straight to work after a funeral, get back into it. But it's wardrobe anxiety. It's wardrobe anxiety.

And I think maybe for females more than males. I'd say so, yeah. Although not always. But then maybe, you know, tradies, they get a job and they're the apprentice and on the first day they turn up in a bright high-vis shirt because it's the first time that it's had a wear out. Oh, yeah, so that would make you anxious it's had a wear out. Oh, yeah. That would make you anxious because you'd get teased.

Brand new boots, brand new shorts, brand new high-vis. Yep. Brand new face. It's not all scratched up and stuff. So maybe there's a little bit of that. Yeah. But the girls in the producer's booth, they have both had individual situations

where there's been very big, and we've coined the term wardrobe-siety. Yeah, it's huge. It happens all the time. I currently have it, sort of, for Georgia's wedding because I bought a dress months ago. She loved it. And it's white as well. It's white.

Controversial. Yeah, Lacey. Lacey and white. It's the exact same style as her wedding dress. It's perfect. Nice. But I bought a dress months ago, loved it, then tried it on recently before I started packing and I was like, yeah, nah, I think I'm going to have to change it. So I went out and bought another nearly $200 dress. Oh, Carolyn.

It's so stressful for a wedding as well if you don't know the couple super well, if you're a plus one. The fear of matching the bridesmaid's dresses is so real. And I would ask my partner, who was a best man, I was like, what are they wearing? He's like, I don't know. I was like, well, I need... Just give me a colour.

Give me the colour. Give me a colour, yeah. I'm going to look like I want to be a bridesmaid and I've never met the bride. And that's really embarrassing. I had a friend that was going to a wedding and they sent out a palette, a colour palette. Yeah.

You can dress to this colour palette. I was like, what? I kind of like that. Yeah, I'd love that because, yeah, the fear of it. And then I showed up, I was sitting at a table with a bunch of magicians I didn't know and I just felt like I stuck out. Were you at the table with the magicians or were they? Yeah.

MDCs. It was wild. Are you actually sitting at the table with a rabbit? Yeah, but there's definitely that fear of like, I don't fit in here, I'm not dressed right. Or like, too much, like, is it too bodycon? Is it too booby? What are we doing?

Or it's when you don't know what the event is. Can you please stop really crowbarring your boobs into the show? To be fair, that was my issue. And I don't have... I don't need to hear about your boobs. Because I'm going to turn around and I'm going to look and my eyes are going to be drawn to the boobs. Because that's what we're talking about.

And then I'll lose my portfolio. Then you'll have to resign. And I'm just going to have a strong grab of someone's arm on the way out. We've got a boob agenda. You've got boob gender today. Really pushing them. Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. 0800 DARS at M.

You can text her as well. 9696. Do you have a current case of wardrobe anxiety? Or did you have a bad case in the past? Yeah, or is there a historic case that even now, us talking about it, you're immediately taken back to that anxious feeling of not knowing how to dress for something.

Because sometimes people turn up here for their first week at work and they're really dressed up. Like, really dressed up. And you're like, oh, it's pretty it's you know it's smart cash shoes eh I'm a rich guy socks

calm down intern socks and shoes cheers come from a rich family do you 0800 DALS that M is the number you can text through

9696 wardrobe anxiety are you currently experiencing it or do you have a historic case you can tell us about give us a call

wardrobe anxiety we're talking about it right now did you go overdressed experiencing it or do you have a historic case you can tell us about? Give us a call. Wardrobe anxiety. We're talking about it right now. Did you go overdressed? Did you go underdressed? Do you just freak out every time you have to get dressed to go somewhere? And that's some people's everyday existence and what they're going to wear to work. Yeah.

Michelle, what was your wardrobe anxiety? Well, I turned up to my sister's wedding in a just lovely burgundy dress that I bought for the occasion. The bridesmaids were burgundy, always. No, no. The bridesmaids were not in burgundy, but the bride was. What? You weren't to know that.

A bride burgundy. Although I would... I'm bride burgundy? Not that I have ever purchased a dress for a wedding, but I would think Burgundy would be one of the most popular colours for bridesmaids, right? Yeah. Yeah, it works with lots.

Yeah. Yeah, because my sister's wife, she was in a white dress, but my sister had turned up in a Burgundy dress, and I'd even sent her a picture of the dress I was going to buy, and she said, oh, yeah yeah, now that's nice. So this was a lesbian wedding? Yeah. Which is fine, I'm just only saying that to

establish the fact that you had two brides. Did you assume it was going to be two white dresses or? I did assume that. Aha. I would assume they both would have been in purple. Purple wedding dresses. Or one would have been dressed as Xena Warrior Princess.

Sure. Maybe. Maybe. Okay, oh, Michelle, that would have been, was it awkward at the wedding where people were like, ooh, burgundy? Nah, it was a family affair and everyone just kind of laughed it off.

Okay. And I just remembered another one. At my sister's wedding, my mum and step-mum turned up in the exact same dress. Oh, that's good stuff. Or was it Pagani? No, no. It was some weird store,

but they both happened to turn up in the exact same one. Oh my God, that is brilliant. Similar taste in men, father, and also dresses. And dresses. Michelle, thank you. Some messages in. Your wardrobe anxiety. 32-year-old male. Sometimes, thank you. Some messages in. Your wardrobe anxiety. 32-year-old male.

Sometimes I'll change clothes three times in the morning before I'm happy to go out in public. Wife's like, would you please get a grip? Wow. Okay. I get changed. My husband's Muslim, but not hard out Muslim. Okay.

Part-time. Part-time Muslim. I'm a casual Muslim. Yep. When we first started dating, he invited me to an event. I didn't think twice about it or ask for any details. I was wearing a low-cut top. And when it came to the event,

they were actually celebrating Eid. Eid? Okay. E-I-D. I've seen it written down, but I don't believe I've heard it said. So all of the females were covered from head to toe and there I am,

bosoms sort of semi-exposed. I would blame... But that's... I would have blamed him. The part-time. I would have said... Casual. You should have told me

Yeah What to wear You're not part time enough To not indicate to me What we should be wearing Twice I have worn a dress To a wedding that matches Another guest

Now I get anxiety For every wedding That I'm going to be Matching with someone Yeah It's almost like You kind of need to park Down the road from the wedding

Fly a drone in To see what the other guests Are wearing And have a couple of options Have a couple of options In the boot And then quickly change if you see someone wearing the same thing. Yeah.

Is that a great hack? That's a great hack. Just thought of that right there. Yep. I could hire out my drone. Yes. That I just had to have but hardly ever use. First day out of my professional job was at a design agency.

I looked like I was going to a wedding. Crisp shirt, dress pants, dress shoes. I walked in and everyone else was just in t-shirt, black jeans and chucks. Yeah, that always happens. Design, they like to be comfortable while they're sitting. They do.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. insults that perhaps you don't know where they come from. Yeah, you doodle bum. Is that on the list? I have an article of rare and amusing insults. Okay. I was thinking we could go into that one day this week.

Okay. For example, Snollygoster, which I've never heard before. You've never heard that before? I'm thinking of adding it to my repertoire. Today, jerk. Oh, you jerk. Cool people are jerks. I always assume jerk off.

That guy's a jerk off. The origins of calling someone a jerk not at all related to whether or not they play with themselves. Okay. And how often they do. Steam engines give us the origins of the term jerk. The steam engine? The steam engine. So, of course steam engines require not only an excessive amount of heat, often delivered by coal, but they require water to create the steam to create the pressure to drive the pistons. So they would, on their trans-American journey,

would need to be refilled. Yes. Now, we have talked before about some steam trains running over a sort of a long canal or trough in the middle and it would lower its scoop and just scoop in the middle and it would lower its scoop and just scoop up the water and it would be going so fast it could do it. But prior to that they had what they called water stops and water

towers where they'd pull up you've seen them all, just like a water tower right beside a thing and it often had a spout out and they'd park up their train underneath and they'd jerk on the chain to like jerking a toilet flusher and that would pop the thing off and all the water would run into the train and they'd jerk on the chain to like jerking a toilet flusher. Oh, yeah.

And that would pop the thing off and all the water would run into the train and they'd let it go when it was full to avoid wasting of water. So these water stops were built all along railway lines and some of these were in big towns and some of them were the only thing that was built, the only thing that was keeping this town going was the water tower and the fact that they had to fill it up. And so those towns became known as jerk water towns. And if you lived in a jerk water town. Because you would

jerk the train. Because you would jerk the chain to let the water go into the thing. So the jerk water towns became populated with people called jerks. Oh. And if you were a jerk that lived in a jerk water town, you weren't given much respect. Right. Because all you were really doing was making sure there was water in the tower.

Right. And populating a small town. You're a jerk. The guy's a jerk. Doesn't take much. But of course it's changed now. Interesting. A jerk, the initial meaning a tedious and ineffectual person

because all they had to do was keep the water in the tower. Yeah, right. And if they didn't or if there was a shortage, then you'd blame the jerks. Huh. And now it's what you call someone when you're... Amazing.

When you think they're useless. That was amazing. Like a jerk. So that's the origins of the term. And if Hayley was here, she'd say better than calendar week. And I would say, I agree it was a fantastic fact,

but I also think I feel like calendar week gets shat on a lot. It's not given respect. It's not given the respect it deserves. We all use a calendar every day. For example, today, February 25th, that's part of a calendar. So today's fact of the day is the origins of the insult jerk

actually have all to do with putting water in steam trains. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. So my daughter Indy is 13 years old and she studied high school this year and then got a series of sicknesses that meant she didn't really go to much of the first couple of weeks right so she when she went back last week she was kind of on catch-up duty and then this week as well she's still catching up on other things so last night we sat down and it was maths english and um today okay i'll start with english yep she had to read a short story and then answer some questions about the short story. Comprehension of sorts. Yep.

I said, I always find it easier to understand the story if you like play it out in your mind. Right. And she's like, what do you mean? And I said, here's an example. And I played it out and I played the... You're so embarrassing. She's going to find you so embarrassing any day now.

This is a short story about a grandfather and a grandmother very, very proud to be sending their child off to school. Right. And it was set in the olden days. What, why old did they get that kind of placid story where we had to do that alive book? Do you mean, you know, the plane crash in the Andes and

they ate each other? Yep. We read The Power of One. Did you ever read that? About a young boy growing up in South Africa and he basically everybody in his life treated him like shit. No. Horrible. Tormented. Yeah, horrible stories.

There was a movie on it as well and then when we finished reading the book, she's like, let's watch the movie and I remember thinking, we should have done this the first place. Yeah. This is the more fun way to ingest this horrific life of a child.

But it was a short story. Right. So I acted out the grandpa, made him Cajun. I don't know why I took them overseas. Right. We are so proud. our boy getting into school. He's going to go to school. He's going to be a learned

man. But that was the idea. There was implications that they really wanted their child to be educated. They weren't educated. They were hardworking people, but they had knowledge. For example, they were asked something about butterflies at school and they said, we kill the butterflies. And the teacher said, don't be cruel to butterflies. But then the granddaddy was like, if we don't kill the butterflies,

they eat our cabbages. Everybody's got something to bring to the table. I'm lost. What are you doing for the homework? So she had to read that and then answer questions about it. So I acted out that. Then maths, to be honest, I'm at the very edge of my understanding. She's about to lose me on maths.

Yeah. Which I need to learn a bit more about. Today I said I was excited because I think it's exciting. I love the language. I very much enjoy the fact that this is a unique culture to New Zealand and I think it should be celebrated. That's my take. Yeah.

That's a hot white take from a hot white guy. That's a hot white take from a hot white guy. That could be my new segment. Hot white takes from the hot white guy. I don't my new segment. Hot white takes from the hot white guy. I don't know about that. And I'll just give you some hot takes. Yeah, I don't know about that. On what I think of things.

Okay. So we were going, and I was just like, again, it was reading it and then working out what words meant what. Okay. And then filling in gaps. And I was like, I wonder if this will work. And I opened up Google Translate and opened the camera and just hung them over homework. When you are traveling overseas in a foreign land, Google wonder if this will work. And I opened up Google Translate and opened the camera and just hung it over her homework.

When you are traveling overseas in a foreign land, Google Translate app is amazing. The live, it's insane. I mean, there's technology out there now and it's going to definitely in the foreseeable future, in the near future, it's going to be a thing where we're just wearing our AirPods and it's literally live translating for us.

Yeah. Speech. Like they do at the un yeah there's not some hot person that speaks multiple languages speaking into a microphone as quick as they can hats off to them that they can listen and talk at the same time yeah it's incredible they hear it in one language they say it in another it's amazing but yeah your phone can do it so i held my camera over this homework right technically you're teaching your daughter to cheat. I said, is this cheating? Because I kind of

there were some words there. I was like, I know what that word means. Koro and a few family titles. I was like, I know what those ones mean. I don't know what these ones mean. And I held it over and it translated the entire thing. And I was just like, we didn't have this. It's cheating. Oh no, we didn't have that. And I said, is this allowed? And she said, oh, we had a

reliever today. And I was asking where we're up to for the other people. So I have to get didn't have that. And I said, is this allowed? And she said, oh, we had a reliever today. And I was asking, like, where we're up to for the other people. So I have to get up to this page. And I asked the reliever, who apparently normally teaches Spanish. Oh, yeah. And she said, just use Google Translate. I don't know the answers because I don't teach the language of a Spanish teacher. Okay. So I was like, well, we're not wrong then.

Yeah. But this thing is amazing. Oh, yeah. And, you know, there was maths. And I was like, I found this thing and I took a photo of the maths. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is is amazing. And you know, there was maths, and I was like, I found this thing, and I took a photo of the maths, and it was like, oh, yeah, this is the answer. And I was like, kids are going to be dumb, eh, in the future. Like, the adults of the future are going to be dumb.

But they're going to need the smart ones to make the things better to help out us dum-dums who have been left behind because now we just point our camera at something and it answers all of our questions. I'm glad I didn't have any of this. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. But yeah, maths, I think I've probably got

like this semester left in me and then it's just... And then you're left behind. I don't know, dude. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Hayley may be back tomorrow. Yes. Maybe, maybe not.

A little operation today. We'll see. Someone has just messaged in, don't leave me hanging. What is a muscle mister? If you've just recently tuned into the show, we have been trying to track down the answer as apparently there were lines

around the block to get into the new pack and save in East Auckland. It's New Zealand's largest supermarket. Why anybody would line up? I don't know, because it's just going to be the same as all the other supermarkets. It's a supermarket? Yeah, but we were dying to know whether or not it had a muscle mister. What do you mean they don't know what a muscle mister is?

It's the big cabinet of muscles. Yeah, and you push the button to stop the spray. And then you grab as many muscles as you want and then you're like, I've got too many muscles. So you kind of tip half the bag back and then the spray comes on with your hands in there and you're like, it was saltwater. Yep.

In case you were wondering. And they're pongy to walk past. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And sometimes a little bit of mist spray out. And we thought, well, maybe because it is the largest supermarket, it's got the largest muscle mister. Unable to find out this morning. Georgia Burt is up next from the Bridal Suite in our Crush Church studios.

Good morning, Georgia Burt. Good morning. You guys, by the way, a muscle mister sounds sexier than what it actually is, by the way. Well, little known fact, you're wedding this weekend. You've actually got a muscle mister sounds sexier than what it actually is, by the way. Little known fact, you're wedding this weekend. You've actually got a muscle mister for the guests. I do. You have to walk under it to get in.
