Good morning, welcome to the show, Fleetspawn and Hayley.
We're all present and accounted for.
Happy Tuesday.
Is it?
I thought it was Friday.
I had a real Wednesday stink to it this morning.
Yeah.
I had like a Wednesday.
Okay, alas. We had like a Wednesday. Okay.
Alas.
We'll work with Tuesday.
Alas.
I watched Extraction 2 yesterday with Chris Hemsworth.
Shit, it ruled.
Voughton texted me and said, you've got to watch it.
It's good.
You'll love it.
Yep.
I know I will.
It's on my to-watch list.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I'm good.
No, I think you'll like it.
You like it? You like a big man? Yeah. I love a'm good. No, I think you'll like it. You like it?
You like a big man?
Yeah, I love a big man.
He smashes people and kills heaps of people.
Big, tough man.
Okay.
Are the fight scenes great?
Dude, yes.
There's an action sequence, the first big action sequence of the movie.
It goes through about half the movie.
Oh, fantastic.
That's awesome.
I mean, the first one was a little over the top, but I loved it. No way, man.
I love it.
I don't know if anyone was expecting, you know,
Midsummer Night's Dream
or Othello when they sit down to watch
Extraction 1 or 2. No.
I'm not expecting it to win an award, but...
Baby! Yeah. So good.
Probably not going to be, yeah,
at the Oscars, will it?
Or maybe for stunt work, because there's stunt Oscars now.
Yeah, there is.
And the stunt work on it is insane.
It's incredible.
We've got another chance for you to win on the show this morning,
thanks to HelloFresh, our great wall of HelloFresh boxes.
What have we given away?
Six?
Fair smart.
All the girls want to be like this.
You just need to wear that track.
Your chance around 8.30 this morning.
Listen now for the Activator.
Get through.
We'll pick one of the HelloFresh boxes and you get the prize inside.
Well, yesterday we gave away like 800 bucks with the HelloFresh.
It was the biggest yet, I think.
But yeah, loads of different plans inside.
So your chance to win this morning.
The top six on the way.
The government stepped in to help a ski field.
Yeah, insuring $5 million.
So Ruapaihu Alpine Lifts, the ski fields on Mount Ruapaihu,
they're at Whakapapa in Turoa, can proceed for the 2023 season.
Because otherwise, well, they were just going to go bust.
Yeah, well, they can't decide on a buyer or a plan,
or there's a whole lot of stuff going down.
Nobody wants to buy it because there'll be
no snow in five years. Is that why?
You mean you've just got a big crumbly mountain.
Although it's cool in summer.
You can go up on the chairlift and stuff.
And walk around.
You could walk up in the first place if you're so keen
on walking. Yeah, walking's just as fun as skiing.
Yeah, famously.
Both work uphill.
I've got the top six signs the government is sponsoring Mount Ruapehu's 2023 season. Just as fun as skiing. Yeah. Famously. Both work uphill. Yeah.
I've got the top six signs the government is sponsoring Mount Ruapehu's 2023 season.
That's because the chateau's not going to be open, eh?
That's gone. No, it's gone.
Shut that down.
That creepy earthquake risk.
I mean, they built it on the side of a volcano.
I would have thought that would have been a more prominent risk than the earthquake.
Can't handle a rumble.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. This is genius, I'm going to call it.
And it's something that I've actually known of,
well, kind of why you'd do this, from the Great Kiwi Bake Off.
The thing we always say to people, new season coming soon.
I don't know the dates, new season.
But we always say to the bakers, because, you know,
like you know your oven and you know how it kind of works.
Oh, I've got the worst oven in the world.
Oh, no.
Get a new oven.
Get a softened oven.
Well, because when they, when I, it's, whoever got the last oven, it's one of those brands of ovens that's like the cheapest you can buy.
Yeah, I think mine's that too.
And you just chuck it in when you like leave your apartment or you sell your apartment.
Standalone.
Like I didn't even know the brand.
It's like a brand. It's not a brand. It's not a brand. It's just like, and when you, whenever you bake a cake or actually use your apartment. Stand alone. Like I didn't even know the brand. It's not a brand.
It's not a brand.
It's just like,
and whenever you bake a cake
or actually use the oven,
it's like sometimes I'm like,
it's real slow.
It's leaking.
You've got gaps probably.
I don't know.
Oh yeah, you get a bit of a seal.
You get a bit of a dicky seal.
I don't know if it's a dicky seal.
It's just a really crap.
And same with the stove.
Sometimes the element isn't as hot as it could be.
Do you need to borrow some money?
Do you want me to warm up a quiche for you before I come into work?
I just don't use the oven that much.
I'm like, eh.
Is this why you want an air fryer?
Yeah, this is why I want an air fryer.
Just get a new one.
Anyway.
Also because I'm one of those people that loads my oven with all the crap,
like all the baking dishes and the silicon things.
And so every time I want to use the oven, I've got to take everything out.
You need better solutions, babe.
I've got a mate.
We've got mates.
I've got a mate.
He goes wild about when we store all our oven trays and stuff in the oven
when we're not using it.
Well, he doesn't like that.
He's like, find a better place to store them.
But I don't have another place.
I've got no storage space.
Do you have an oven drawer underneath?
That's full as well. No, no, no, no. Don't you have an oven drawer underneath? That's full as well.
No, no, no, no.
We don't have an oven drawer underneath.
That would be the ultimate solution.
That's what I've got as part of the oven.
But anywhere else,
it would be more of a rigmarole to get them out.
Because we just take everything out
and then grab the ones we want to use.
And then chuck them back in later.
And you can chuck them back in.
I'm stressed.
I don't even dry them properly after I give them a wash.
I just chuck them back in wet.
Yeah, because the oven dries them.
Same problem. You don't wash a baking tray after I give them a wash. I just chuck them back in. Yeah, because the oven dries them. Same problem.
Yeah.
You don't wash a baking tray.
Life hack.
Life hack.
Yeah.
You can chuck stuff back in the oven that you've just washed
and it will dry it.
Yeah.
I wouldn't put plates and such in,
but if it can live in the oven, I'd totally do it.
Wine glasses, probably not.
No.
Anyway, on Bake Off, we always say to people,
you've got to rotate because you don't know the oven
and ovens have hot spots. So if they were booking a cake and you people, you've got to rotate. Because you don't know the oven, and ovens have hot spots.
So if they were booking a cake, and you say you've got to rotate,
you've got to rotate the cake or put it at different parts of the oven?
No, just rotate it.
So if you had a cake in the middle of the middle tray or whatever,
don't just cook it there for the whole 60 minutes
or whatever your bake time is.
You've got to keep rotating it.
Because every oven has hot spots.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Well, this is what you need to do.
It's called oven mapping and it's going wild on
TikTok. So you just get a big oven tray
that would be like the whole size of your
main oven space. Yeah.
Then you get some plain white bread and you
cover the whole thing,
the whole tray.
Could we do hash browns? Because then we've got breakfast on the go.
Because then we can eat afterwards.
It wouldn't show as hard, but it would give you an indication.
Because then you put it in and you let it cook without touching it.
You pull it out.
And then, like, all the bread will be different colours.
And then you find out where your hot spots are.
So someone did this.
And literally they had, like, blonde bits at the back
and then super burnt bits in the middle.
And they're like, okay, so now I know.
Mine's hot at the back and cold at the front.
Because you notice that when you do, like, I'll, okay, so now I know. Yeah. Mine's hot at the back and cold at the front. Because that's,
you notice that when you do like,
I'll do biscuits,
I'll do cookies,
like two,
you do two,
two shelves of cookies.
And yeah,
the ones underneath,
I just halfway through
flip them around.
Oh yeah,
but that's because of the,
the ones underneath
are like steaming.
But then you do notice
some of the ones
go more golden.
Oh yeah.
Around the outside.
Usually around the back.
Well that's,
that's,
you've found your hot spots. You've found your map. Okay, yeah. Around the outside of the middle. That's, you've found
your hot spots.
You've found your map.
Okay, if they're going
golden around the back.
But then you just
need smart.
Do you give them
enough breathing space
between the biscuits?
No, they're kind of
all moulded to one giant biscuit.
And then you slice them.
You slice them.
You slime them.
Still delicious.
Still delicious, exactly.
Yeah, anyway, oven map.
Very clever.
Does seem wasteful
when it comes to bread.
No, feed it to the ducks.
Oh, not the ducks.
The ducks don't like bread.
They sure like it when you give it to them.
Yeah, I know, but it's like us.
It's like giving someone crack.
You're like, that person seems to be really enjoying their crack.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little poe. 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.
Should you have to do a yardie on your 21st?
No.
That is today's saloon.
It's weird watching people just like chunny on the back lawn.
You know what I mean?
It's not fun.
Yeah.
Did you do a yardie?
Nope.
My mother told my friends if they bought a yard glass on my 21st,
she would break it over their collective heads.
So they did not.
Wow.
I didn't do one.
Did you? No.
So there's an article that's been in the news the last couple of days.
Should it be discouraged because of the harmful effects of drinking, etc.?
You think it's harmful to drink that much?
Is that why your body starts throwing it up halfway through?
A lot of people do the shots, don't they, instead?
Yes, they do.
Yeah.
Yeah, glass.
Because I grew up with one hanging on my grandparents' wall
that my granddad had done.
He was very proud and it displayed as yard glass.
Which holds 1.4 litres of liquid, up to 2 litres of liquid,
depending on how you fill it.
It began in the 17th century in English ale houses
and then quickly spread to Australia and New Zealand.
I don't know.
Could you have 21 small glasses of Prosecco?
I'd do that.
Over the course of a night or at once?
Over the course of a night and only like quarter filled.
Your Friday.
Yeah.
I could do that.
Bring it on.
So it started out as more of a testament to a glass blower's skill to blow it as much
as it was to drink it.
A formal yet festive drinking of a yard of ale toast to James II.
Right.
So it was like a toast to the king.
You would do it for king.
And now it's become the 21st birthday.
Somehow.
Yeah, sort of a rite of passage or something.
So 20% of people said yes, 80% of people said no.
Wow, okay.
You shouldn't have to do a yardie at your 21st.
Because it's also not full of good beer, is it?
No, it's crap.
You've got to pour it and let it sit.
Yeah.
Is that cheating to pour it and let it sit?
Keep it cold but let it bubble out of it because it's the bubbles that get you.
And if you've got a bad pourer because somebody goes at the other end
and they slowly lift it and you've got to turn it. You've the bubbles that get you. And if you've got a bad pourer because somebody goes at the other end and they slowly lift it
and you've got to turn it.
If someone just glugs it, the minute
a glug hits you, you're in trouble.
I did 21 shots because I don't like beer.
It was arguably worse though and I wish I did neither,
said Becca.
Half the shots need to be water.
Or low alcohol junk.
Yeah.
What's that green stuff?
Midori.
No, that's still quite high in alcohol.
Vaughan, that's high in alcohol.
How much Midori is?
I've, Vaughan, take it from someone that's chunny green all over a friend's carpet.
It's high alcohol.
Yeah.
It's, how strong is Midori?
What kind of alcohol is Midori?
It's a Japanese sweet.
How strong?
What is that?
It's 21%. Oh, it's just mid-range. Okay. It's a Japanese sweet. How strong?
It's 21%.
Oh, it's just mid-range.
It's the equivalent of doing 10 shots, but still, it's very sweet.
More than a wine.
Yeah, more than a wine.
Yeah, but don't do 21 full shots.
You'll die.
What about Joel?
21 cupcakes.
I own 21 cupcakes.
It's still chunny, though. Probably just as bad for you.
My mate wasn't a big drinker, so they made him do a Yardie of Primo.
Milk would be worse.
I'd rather do beer than Primo.
1.4 litres of milk.
We did milk sculling on the last day of high school, and it was so bad.
Was everyone having a Chani?
Yeah.
Not me, though.
Gross.
Old iron guts.
Yeah, old iron guts.
Not how I'm famously known, but yeah, I kept it in.
Craig, whose profile picture, and this is the first time he's messaged the show,
his profile picture is a stock car.
Oh, yeah.
No wonder this country's so PC.
As soon as the yardie wasn't compulsory, the country turned to shit.
Well, he may have pinpointed the moment.
He may have exactly pinpointed the moment. He may have exactly pinpointed the moment.
It's a lot of pressure to do if you don't drink much or at all, says Megan.
It's like doing 21 shots.
I wanted to remember the occasion, so I did 21 shots with a camera instead,
and my friends got to choose the photos.
Oh, yeah, okay.
It's a Christian way.
It's a Christian loophole there.
Yeah, get a photo of you kissing the bouncer.
Oh, so they give you a list of 21 things you have to get a photo of.
It's like tasks.
Oh, yeah, that's cool.
That's like a hen's party trip.
Yeah, yeah, and you go in and you've got to do 21 silly things.
And then you can still drink.
You're just not going to be out by like 8 o'clock.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I like it.
Yeah, me too.
Hannah said, my cousin poorly attempted a quarter yard glass
and didn't even get through that without vomiting into the fire.
Vomiting into the fire.
Oh dear, the smell.
Oh God.
It was nine years ago and I still haven't had a good laugh like that again.
Vomiting into a fire.
I mean, Les, you've got to say,
it's what everybody wants from a yardie, right?
They want to see that afterwards.
They want to see it coming up.
Matt says, it's a New Zealand tradition, a rite of passage, if you will.
Jamie said,
I absolutely hate them.
It's so repulsive to watch a group of men stand around
banging their chests like apes and watching somebody else drink.
I agree.
I did a giant Jager bomb.
A beer jug full of LMP with a tall tumbler of Jager Meister
and dropped the knee and sunk it in one go.
Wait, Allen P?
It's Red Bull.
No, but what would Allen P and Jäger taste like?
Delicious.
Yum, that sounds delicious.
I love Jägermeister.
Do you?
Yeah, I do.
Has it not been, like, tarnished?
I love a Jägerbomb, but it's got to be Red Bull.
Yeah, I thought it was a Red Bull.
Yeah.
Traditionally.
Or a beer.
No, that's a sake bomb. You drop sake in a beer a Red Bull. Yeah. Traditionally. Or a beer. No, that's a sake by me.
Sake and a beer and scalp.
There you go.
Well, we're certainly not encouraging excessive and binge drinking.
And neither is our responding audience.
No.
80% of people saying no.
A couple of your closest friends to a lovely winery.
Oh, that was a lovely winery.
And split a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
Beautiful way to speed your 21st.
Start just after lunch,
so you're home by nine.
And better than a decent hour.
Elicate someone to drive.
Yeah, maybe a lovely breakfast the next morning.
Lovely.
At a cafe.
Lovely.
Stunning.
Stunning.
Stunning darling.
Stunning darling.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
If you feel like you want to walk into a room
with more confidence,
there is one very simple thing to do.
So I feel like if you think of more confidence,
a lot of people think like be louder, talk more.
My first question is describing and being more annoying.
Yeah.
That's exactly it.
My first question is could I just be home?
Do I have to be walking into this room?
Is there a world in which I don't enter this room?
Because it sounds like a lot of effort.
Yeah. Well, no.
If you have to walk into this room, you want to be more confident.
What you have to do is
choose something else to focus on
instead of confidence.
And that is the thing that'll stop you from being annoying.
Because if you do, yeah, you think about confidence
and you're like, right, I've got to be funny, I've got to be charming, I've got to be
this, I've got to be that, I've got to be everything else. And you end up coming, a bit much. A bit do, yeah, you think about confidence, you're like, right, I'm going to be funny, I'm going to be charming, I'm going to be this, I'm going to be that, I'm going to be everything else.
Yeah.
And you end up coming,
a bit much.
A bit much,
yeah,
right.
A bit full on,
being a bit full on.
Whereas if you choose something else
to focus on,
it's going to make,
the confidence is like,
just comes.
Okay,
you could focus on channeling
like a quiet calm instead
and then people will be like,
far out, man. Look how confident she is. No, but that would be a confident a quiet calm instead and then people be like far out man like no but that would
be a confident quiet calm confident quiet calm okay um you could go for other qualities such as
going and be like i'm gonna come into this room and be more curious okay i'm gonna be warm i'm
gonna question more i'm gonna be more intense. I don't need that.
I'm going to focus wit or kindness,
but you don't have to go in being like just general confidence.
Focus on one of those things and people will be like,
hell yeah, man, that's confidence.
Rather than just being noisy and loud and annoying.
I like the questioning one.
I like being someone who's being a bit more questiony.
Sometimes, God, I like to harp on about myself.
I forget to ask questions.
Yeah.
How do you feel about that?
How do you feel about me?
Yeah.
No, no, don't ask that.
Don't ask that.
That's where I get stuffed up.
Yeah.
Shifting back.
Apparently it's that simple because, like, what is confidence?
I don't know. Can I look up the definition? Yeah, man, like, what is confidence? I don't know.
Can I look up the definition?
What is confidence?
You've got to think about something else other than being confident.
Because you're right.
The feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something.
Because if somebody went into the room overconfident,
you'd just think they were arrogant, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Which is annoying.
But if they were questioning any of those things you said. Yeah, they come in. If someone came in and started, like, asking someone, right? Yeah, exactly. Which is annoying. But if they were questioning any of those things
you said. Yeah, they come in. If someone came in and started
asking someone, being really curious
about the situation or the room or the
people in the room or whatever, I'd be
like, hell yeah.
Four types of confidence that you
need to excel in life. Oh, okay.
Sexual confidence.
Sounds like a life coach, doesn't it?
Social confidence is the ability to portray yourself as confident in social situations
That's the hardest one
Confidence in your expertise
Being confident and trusting in your skills and abilities
Very funny, very charming
Physical confidence
Now you're just sounding arrogant
Incredibly strong
Being confident in your physical appearance is important
Because it will be challenging to make friends
Or have intimate relationships if you lack physical confidence.
I'm hot.
Confidence in your self-worth.
Knowing what you're capable of and what you deserve in life.
There you go.
Those are your four types of confidence.
The last one's a bit murky.
I know I'm incredibly talented.
I know I'm incredibly beautiful. I know I'm incredibly beautiful.
What was the first one?
Here's some tips to improve your confidence and your self-worth.
Forgive yourself, encourage yourself, and keep a gratitude journal.
Oh, I'm out.
A gratitude journal.
The moment you get me to write down, I am grateful for my amount.
It can help you on the dark days.
It can help you on the dark mornings.
You could open your journal and remember that time that you hip thrust 100 kgs
because you've got a great dumper.
And the gratitude journal would say you've got a great dumper.
Yeah, but I'd just go to the gym, do it again, look at the dumper
and be like, there it is.
I don't need to write it down.
The proof's in the behind.
The proof's exactly right in the pudge.
That's right. Yesterday we talked about the sexiest professions.
The top of the list was firefighter and flight attendant.
Respectively.
No, pilot.
Wasn't it pilot?
No, pilot wasn't on it.
No, I liked pilots.
I just talked about pilots being hot.
Those were the tops.
And then a former escort called Samantha X.
Don't believe that's her original surname.
No.
Has chimed in on the jobs she can guarantee will make a man good and bet.
So, and they're all...
This is based on her...
Experiences.
I'm guessing, yeah, right.
She's done the actual research.
Yeah, she said, yeah, yeah.
On the floor, on the ground.
What is it called?
On the ground.
On the ground research.
Yeah.
Not on the floor.
She's in the thick of it.
Yeah, wherever you want to be.
Yeah.
She said, as a former escort,
I guarantee a man's job can dictate what kind of lover he is.
She's done research at the Coalface?
She's on the Coalface. She's at the Coalface? She's on the Coalface.
She's at the Coalface.
But that's not where you do the research.
In the field.
In the field.
In the field.
In the field.
That's what I was thinking.
That's why radio announcers are not on the list.
Nobody could afford that.
No, exactly.
They couldn't.
So here's her top five that will guarantee,
male, that they're a good shag.
Number five is an academic. Don't say shag male, that they're a good shag. Number five is an academic.
Don't say shag.
We're not going to say shag.
Should we shag now or shag later?
Just rise your Boston powers.
I love Austin.
He's sexy.
So academics.
Right.
She said bookworms have brains, and that is a turn on.
They're smart, intuitive, often a tortured soul.
Yeah, right.
They're sensitive to your needs.
So where's the quiet nerds, eh?
Yeah.
Dark.
They've got a dark flame inside them.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
They don't have much money,
so they know how to keep you entertained at home for hours.
Right, right.
Okay.
Okay, academics.
Just above that is police officers,
who are also on the sexy list.
Okay.
So if you like bad boys, the cop is your best lover.
Two kinds of cops, the nerds and the one that makes criminals look soft.
Okay.
They're usually covered in tatter.
Yeah, oh my God, a cop.
So has she ranked them from, or has she ranked them from like one to ten or?
This is, I'm going five up to one.
Oh, five up to one.
Okay, so.
Fourth is police officers.
Okay, okay. She said that they 1. Oh, 5 up to 1. Okay, so... Fourth is police officers. Okay, okay.
She said they love being
dominant. In control, yeah.
In control. Sometimes I think
the wrong people get into
being police officers because they get into it
because they like control. Yes.
Yeah. And that's where things go wrong. Yeah.
I think they get a bit carried away,
don't they? Yeah. But if they're not
in it for the worst reasons, good in the boudoir.
Number three, doctors.
Oh, okay.
I mean, they know how your body works.
Great lovers, yeah.
They know your anatomy well.
Know what to do with their hands, particularly surgeons.
They can be a little mechanical at times.
So if you want to get a bit freaky, you might need to loosen them up.
Okay, right.
They're clean.
Well, that's good. Cool, Sarah.
I mean... Clean, smart, efficient.
If you sleep with a doctor, they're doing that scrubbing thing with their hands. That's what she said. Nice hands,
clean fingernails. Before they get into bed,
you're like, oh, hurry up. Yeah, I know.
And they will always walk through a door backwards
with their hands up.
Right.
They roll up their sleeves and get into bed.
Number two, accountants.
Now, I did not see this coming.
Really?
She said, trust me.
You haven't made love with an accountant?
Not that I know of.
You know, like I didn't know that it was their job.
Yeah, right.
It wasn't often the first thing I'd ask on a casual liaison.
Ah, you are an accountant.
Yeah, could you run my books?
Yeah.
She said, crunching numbers is a bit boring.
Accountants will do anything for a thrill.
Okay.
Usually very open-minded, maybe a bit kinky.
Okay.
And they can calculate your needs in a very measured yet sexy way.
And they're number two on the list.
Number two on her list.
Wow, okay.
Taking at number one, she says, for the guaranteed good time in the boudoir.
Yep.
Lawyer.
Really?
Yeah.
If you want a night of unforgettable love making, forget your dating ups and hang out at the legal court.
Why?
Yeah.
Maybe it's hanging out with criminals they represent.
Lawyers don't just find trouble, they create it.
Guarantee a good time.
Really?
Doesn't go any deeper than that.
I don't think I've ever made sweet, sweet love to a lawyer.
No.
But I would never say no.
Well, they're detail-driven, aren't they?
Yes.
They'll find the littlest thing and make it a big thing.
Yeah, right.
Oh, yeah, you wouldn't want a relationship with them.
You could never win an argument.
Oh, no, arguments would be very hard.
Never win an argument.
Very hard to argue with them.
No, you wouldn't want that.
Anyway, get out.
I mean, I wouldn't close off any job,
but if you want to know, those are the good shags.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the panoramic ZM think Tank, this is The Top Six.
Hi there, The Top Six signs that the government is sponsoring
Mount Ruapehu's 2023 season.
Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, RAL,
who have run the ski fields Whakapapa and Turoa for the last wee while.
What do they call it?
Voluntary.
Yes, it was placed into liquidation.
Oh, so it wasn't voluntary, it was put.
The creditors rejected proposals to save the debt-saddled company.
This is according to a news report.
So this is quite, the government's putting in the five mil,
but Oropehu is a significant part of the economy in the central North Island,
accounting for a tenth of the regional GDP,
$100 million a year.
But they can't afford stuff with $100 million a year.
No, no, the ski field.
Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you.
And the local economy with all the tourism and all the spending.
Yep.
You imagine if there's no ski lift,
what if we lose the Eclair shop?
Oh, my God, no.
Or Mountain Kebabs.
We absolutely cannot lose the famous.
Is there a kebab shop up there?
Oh, dude, Mountain Kebabs in Ohakuni.
In Ohakuni.
Ohakuni rules.
I'd imagine the chalet would have been a bit of a, not the chalet, what is it?
The chateau would have been a bit of a hit for the economy as well,
because lots of people that wouldn't go skiing still would have gone there
for a bit of historic look around and a cup of tea.
So in the scheme of things, 5 mil, actually not bad.
No.
Considering all that it brings for the economy and the tourism and stuff.
A little of a front up.
So the top six signs the government's sponsoring Arrupehu's 2023 season
are number six, the new ministry, the ministry of hot chips and pies.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, good. Yeah, that's
a great ministry. Bit of an up-praise
ski. Beautiful. Yeah.
Will they do free sauce? Probably not,
eh? I hope it's carny sauce, not
those squirty packets. I know, I like the carny
sauces best. Don't give me a little squirty. Put a huge bottle there
with a pump on top. Yes. Have someone
standing by to say, hey, one big pump each.
Yes. Can't come up and pump, pump, pump.
I don't want to take the piss, but the little squirty pack-up.
Not enough.
It's not good source.
Especially when they sell those for like a dollar.
I know, get a grip.
Some people sell those for a dollar.
And we don't want ripping dips up the mountain.
No.
No.
Number five on the list of the top six signs
that the government's sponsoring Arruapé,
whose 2023 season,
the brand new Christopher Luxon lavish lift.
He's loved it since he was a boy.
It was built two years ago.
Thank God he, when he was a boy.
Man, he couldn't get enough of it.
He loved that lavish lift.
Number four on the list of the top six signs
that the government is sponsoring Mount Aruapehu's 2023 season.
There's a new minister.
Yeah.
Minister of four-wheel drives and chains from the 3K mark.
Okay, you're great.
Yeah. Just to keep an eye on things. from the 3K mark. Okay, you're great. Yeah.
Just to keep an eye on things.
Yes.
Loves chains.
That's the one.
I've never put chains on her.
Have you ever put chains on?
Yep.
Looks real hard.
You wouldn't know how to do it.
It's confusing.
You've just got to lay them out right.
Is there someone that can do it for you?
You can just pull up and there's a man.
There'll be someone that'll help you because they don't want you.
Yeah, that's the Minister of four-wheel drives and chains.
Okay.
They're going to be out there.
Right.
Number three on the list of the top six signs that the government is sponsoring Mount Arupe,
who's a 2023 season, the David Seymour lookout.
Will you go to Seymour?
Still, I can't believe you've named it after him, though.
I feel like I wouldn't go.
What other politician's name literally says, see more for a viewing platform?
I feel like I'm going to walk off paced into a ravine.
On purpose?
Yeah.
What about the Chloe Swarbrick wall?
You know, you could build all the walls out of Swarbricks.
Of Chloe Swarbricks.
Sure.
Number two on the list of the top six signs
that the government is sponsoring Mount Ruapehu's 2023 season.
There's a sign halfway up sponsored by the Green Party
saying this is where the snow line was in the 1950s.
Oh, that's depressing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's retreating right up that mountain.
Because they've had a problem with snow there.
Like, this hasn't been a lot, has it?
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's weird.
Because there was the few seasons back
they were getting good weather and climate change
and all that razzmatazz.
All that hoopla.
All that stuff.
And number one on the list of the top six signs that the government is sponsoring Mount Ruapehu's 2023 season
is their new insulation program of rental gloves.
Rental gloves now must be insulated.
It's what they're calling the Healthy Gloves Initiative.
Fantastic.
If you've got thin gloves, you're going to get very cold fingers.
Nothing good comes from cold fingers.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
An email's been leaked.
I love a leaked email.
From an early childhood centre, a sort of, not just a one-off, a chain of early childhood centres. Yeah.
And I'm just going to do the maths on this because they're saying the power bill has gone up.
It's risen to $35,000.
People charging their phones.
Whose hasn't?
$35,000 a year over five centres.
So $35,000 divided by five equals $7,000 a year.
So $7,000 divided by 12 is $583 a month.
God, he should have my power bill.
For a childcare centre?
Yeah.
For like a big area, I'm guessing multiple rooms.
Yeah, but they're not, have you, children are not cheap to charge.
That's what I mean.
Like how many is in a centre, like 30 kids at once?
I'm solar powering my kids.
Oh, right, that's a good idea.
I know some people wind power their kids.
That's quite normal. Do they have the ports still though if you need a manual charge. Oh, right, that's a good idea. I know some people wind power their kids.
Do they have the ports still, though, if you need a manual charge?
Yeah, yeah, they do.
Yeah, if you need to go old school on it. They've got jumper cables as well.
That, to me, does not feel that high.
For a big...
For a big, chalky scene, I imagine we'd have heat pumps going and...
If someone gets there early in the morning and cranks the heat pumps,
warms the place up, you could probably leave them ticking along overnight
to, like, reduce the moisture level.
We don't want cold kids
and we don't want damp kids.
We don't want damp kids.
That's why I always
keep put a damp rid.
In your kid's backpack.
A little puddle of that
damp rid stuff on my kids
to keep them.
So this,
the leader of this
childhood centre,
the chain of them,
said,
listen to this,
if practices continue
to not care about our philosophy
and if our leaders and managers see children's fees
getting wasted down the drain and reckless
and unnecessary use of heat pumps,
then we may need to look at comparing each month's bill
against the average for the season
and charging wasteful costs to everybody's pay
until the responsible practices are established.
So basically saying, shut the windows.
The heat pump can't go over 20 and it must be never below 18.
Put a jumper on.
That's the part where a heat pump works the most effectively, right?
Between those temperatures.
Yeah.
Every temperature you go up above 20.
And the windows must be kept shut when the heat pump's on.
The minute the windows open, the heat pump's off.
Right.
Which I agree with.
That's a fair call.
That's a fair call. That's a fair call.
But you also can't tell your staff not to have the
heater on. And if you smell children,
very pongy. Every now and then you just
need to open the windows and have an air out. Yeah, right.
Without making it cold. Yeah.
And then to say that unless it's
remedied, it'll be docked from their
wages. Oh no. Like everyone's gonna
have to chip in for power. Oh, that sounds like a fun place. I'm sorry, guy
running a business.
Probably making quite a bit of money.
Yeah, that feels a bit off.
Imagine if they came to us and they were like, guys,
you've got the heater on too much.
It's going to start costing you. I'd say we know, but we don't have
control over it. We're hot. We've been
screaming for it to come down.
We're hot and we're cold. We're yes and we're no.
Can they legally do that?
They can't just dock your wages
because you use the heat pump.
Legally, but it's by very dad to be like,
the bloody windows are open,
turn the heat off.
Which this dad has said multiple times.
Yeah.
Even if the windows are on that little latch
where a little bit of air can still get in,
but they look like they're shut,
heat pump is not on.
I bet these fights are happening in flats and houses.
Hell yeah.
All across the country at the moment with secret heaters and people that heat pump all
day and they don't wear like pants or socks or jerseys.
Oh, I see.
Those are only for the middle of winter.
I don't even bother with those.
Yeah, we never had ours on.
That doesn't need to be on in summer.
It gets turned off.
Oh, who's using a towel rail in summer?
No, no.
Who do you think?
I'm married to her.
Clue, I'm married to her.
Does she?
It'll dry though.
She likes a warm towel.
Who puts clothes in the dryer
on a perfectly fine sunny day?
Clue, I'm married to her.
Well, you should start charging her a fee
like this guy.
You should start docking her pay.
I will dock her pay.
Yeah.
I get a little notification from our washing machine.
I don't know why, but I set it up and it's full of regret.
It sends me a notification on my phone when it's finished.
Oh, yeah.
And if I'm home, I race because I know that stuff's getting put straight in the dryer.
Oh, and you put it out on the line.
I run and put it on the line.
Oh, she's got you there.
Yeah. Even if it just spends a day airing out, it's going to be drier and it'll need less time
in the dryer at the end of the day. Yeah. I like an just means a day airing out, it's going to be drier and it'll need less time in the dryer
at the end of the day.
Yeah.
I like an air dry
and maybe a...
Just a kiss.
Yeah, a kiss.
Especially for towels.
Especially a towel,
you've got to kiss it.
You've got to fluff.
You've got to get it.
We want to know,
at home or at work,
what are you not allowed to use?
Like, what are you not allowed to touch?
Yeah, do you have a tight-ass boss at work
that's banned something?
Yeah.
Or maybe you've got,
because I've got glassware
that's display only, Aaron.
Oh.
And he'll always make a drink in it and I'll go.
What are you doing?
Yeah, what are you doing there?
Wish you wouldn't.
When we had a mortar and pestle.
Pester.
What is it called?
One of those smashing things.
Yeah, mortar and pestle.
Pestle.
Pestle.
Yeah.
Pestle.
Yeah.
I used it to smash things up and I got told off.
Because it was display only.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's what they're there for.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you've got glasses that are display only.
That is such mum energy.
I know.
That is outrageous.
But they're like, you know, they're beautiful and they're just for display.
Are they those different coloured ones?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
What else is in the China cabinet, mum?
The SodaStream bottles. mum? The soda stream bottles.
Aaron uses them as drink bottles.
They put it beside the bed.
Yeah.
I hate it.
I hate it.
Because when I go to make a soda stream.
No, it's not.
They're to make fizzy water.
Wow.
When I go to make one and then there's a cap missing now.
Or it's all discoloured or it's gone a bit foggy.
Get the boy a drink bottle.
He's a big boy and he's a hydrate.
He's got thousands of them, boy.
Wow, okay.
I do love littering drink bottles around the place.
One for the car, one in the garage, one in the lounge.
Our first caller could literally be Aaron.
Not allowed to use the glasses.
Not allowed to use this.
Not allowed to use the drink, the SodaStream bottles.
What about people who have work phones but aren't allowed to use them for anything other than work?
So now effectively they've got to carry two phones. How inconvenient
is that? Just let them use the...
Give them a data plan. Yeah.
Let them use it. Stop making them carry around two phones.
0800 DALS at M. We want to take your calls
now. You can message as well. 9696.
What are you not allowed
to use? Like the glasses. Like the
SodaStream bottles. Or maybe you've got an
aircon or a heating ban in your flat or
house from a certain time.
Maybe you have to sneak a heater.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
We're talking about what you're not allowed to touch.
A early childhood centre has had an email around.
It's a chain.
There's five of them, and their power bill's gone up,
and the big dog is saying that's a big no-no.
No heat pumps on and it can't go above 20 or below 18.
And if the windows are open, no heat pump.
Now, how's this for a little bit of backstory?
Because we are talking about what you aren't allowed to touch.
Somebody said legally the windows in an early childhood centre Have to be open for ventilation Oh okay
And somebody else said I run a centre
And you have to have the heat pump on
Because the room has to be at a certain temp
Oh okay so you can't have cold kids
Can't have cold kids
Can't have damp kids
And they're always getting wet
Splashing around in their water play
But then how do you
If the windows have to be open
How do you keep it warm?
Dunno.
You crank the heat pump.
Dunno.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Go back to the good old days of open, roaring fire.
What?
Yeah.
What aren't you allowed?
Anonymous joins us.
What did work ban?
Anonymous.
Yeah, g'day.
How are you?
I work for the fire department, but our landlord is the Ministry of Justice.
And they said, well, the fire alarm goes off too much.
Not in our building.
They just reckon the fire alarms go off too much in New Zealand.
So they said, no toasters.
No toasters?
Wait, is this just where you work,
or is this every fire station?
No, no, so I don't work in a fire station.
I just work for the fire department in our office building,
which is owned by the Ministry of Justice. And they said, no toasters I don't work in a fire station. I just work for the fire department in our office building, which is owned by the justice, Ministry of Justice,
and they said no toasters.
No toasters, so we can have raw bread.
That's nanny state government.
It's telling our hard-working government employees,
especially those in the fire service, that they can't have toasters.
No toasters, that's ridiculous.
Could you have the panini, what about a panini press?
Yeah, there's a couple of them around.
Oh!
You just have to press your bread for toast.
Yeah, but a flat bread for breakfast, that goes pretty good.
No, because some of them have got that neat little setting on the side
where you can kind of like put a little rut in
and it stops it from going full down.
Yeah, it kind of melts it.
Oh, okay.
That might be the go.
Yeah, right.
I'll give that a crack.
I'm sorry that you're having eggs on raw bread.
Sorry you've got really flat bread.
Yeah, you're hot.
Panini bread.
Anonymous, thank you.
Some more messages in.
My sister-in-law has display tea towels that are never to be touched.
Oh, my God.
This is you, isn't it, too?
You can't touch them.
They're with the theme of the kitchen.
So you would hang a display tea towel, like, on the oven.
But then where do you get the
tea towel to dry your hands or wash a
plate? In a cupboard.
It's got to be readily hanging.
It's readily available.
It's annoying having a tea towel on the oven door because
I need to be constantly looking in there
to see if a cake's magically appeared.
Is there something in the fridge?
I suppose there's a cake in that oven there,
isn't there? What's in there? Nothing. I'll look again in five minutes Is there something that's decided to cook itself for me? I suppose there's a cake in that oven there, isn't there? Yeah.
What's in there?
Nothing.
Yeah.
I'll look again in five minutes and hope that that's changed.
I was house-sitting and my friends made a fire.
They used the display wood.
So they lit the fire with the perfectly,
and used the perfectly stacked display wood.
Now apparently they shouldn't use the display wood. Some people have those really nice like stacked display wood. Because some people, yeah, display round.
Some people have those really nice, like, stacked display logs.
And they're, like, perfectly round.
Don't burn it.
That's not for burning, you idiot.
Don't use it.
It's for display.
My flatmate always turns the heated towel rail off and says,
we need to save power and these things waste them.
And then we'll have 40-minute showers and use the hot water.
So the hot water cylinder has to work really hard to get the hot water up again.
That's one of the biggest drains isn't it?
I'm not allowed to use too many appliances
at once and I'm allowed
to use the dryer on a sunny day but that's because our house
is fully run on solar.
Oh nice. So the sunny days
are the days where, isn't that a cruel twist of fate?
The day where you could
Dry your clothes
Using the sun
You dry your clothes
Using the sun
Using the dryer
Yeah
Via the dryer
Somebody else said
We live off the grid
So currently no sunshine
I'm not allowed to use
Even the washing machine
I have to wash it by hand
Aww
You should get one of those ones
That you spend
Yeah like a
Yeah good morning to all of our
Off the grid listeners
Yeah we've got a few
We've got a couple of full solar people A couple of our off-the-grid listeners. Yeah, we've got a few. Yeah, good morning.
Full solar, people.
A couple of off-the-grid listeners.
Oh, they're powering
their radios.
The weather's so terrible
at the moment.
We could drop out
at any moment, maybe.
My partner's work phone
is one of the latest
and highest-spec Samsungs,
but it's locked
because it's a work phone,
so it may as well be
a Nokia 2280.
God, talk to us
about our brand-new
MacBook ears.
Oh, you know, MacBook Pros. They may as well be bloody Nokia 2280. God, talk to us about our brand new MacBook ears. Oh, MacBook Pros.
They may as well be bloody Dells from the 90s.
Although I shan't have a bad word said,
I had a wonderful experience with the company's IT yesterday.
The company's IT is fantastic,
but it's a lot of money to spend to use a web browser
and not even for fun websites.
It's just the boring websites.
I worked at a daycare.
We've got some penny punchers running some daycares. I worked at a daycare. I was going to say, daycare?
We've got some penny pinches running some daycares.
Yeah.
I worked at a daycare.
The natural light was terrible, so I'd turn the classroom lights on.
I got told off, and they said if it was too dark, he'd buy a lamp for the room.
Why not use the get LED lights?
That's what lights are, is they're built-in lamps, bro.
Very cheap.
It used to be in a shared office with different parts of the company.
In general, used stuff like tea and coffee got split between all the different cost centres.
My boss thought my Kona coffee was too extravagant and didn't want to pay,
so he bought me a bag of Pam's Instant.
Oh.
We've had that fight before, haven't we?
I'm sorry. I feel lost.
Yeah, they don't want to.
That's what Griggs will do.
$2 for the, yeah.
I work in a hospital and our cold water station isn't plumbed.
You have to take the bottle off the top and refill it.
And so we aren't allowed to use it.
Only patients are limited to one cup.
So the glug-glug machine.
They have this at TVNZ.
They've got the glug-glug machines with signs saying,
do not fill your water bottles.
You can get a glass only.
One glass from the glug-glug machine.
I mean, that's fair.
That's taxpayer money.
I'd glug-glug-glug.
Well, thank you, taxpayers.
I've glug-glugged from the TVNZ water cooler.
Mostly propped up by its own commercial enterprise.
Okay, so fill your water bottle at TVNZ.
And feel no guilt for the taxpayer.
People are very nervous about getting their hands on Taylor Swift tickets.
Now, yesterday it was the Amex Australia pre-sale.
It was indeed.
The Frontier Touring pre-sale.
I can run through these details soon.
Please do.
But that's tomorrow.
That's tomorrow.
And then Friday's when it's all on.
Yep, general tickets.
All up for grabs, general tickets.
So yesterday, the American Express pre-sale,
everyone was excited, everyone was ready to go.
They had a plan.
We'll touch base on that again.
And then 30 minutes,
30 minutes before the tickets were supposed to go on sale,
the site crashed.
It's the worst case scenario.
Because everybody jumped on getting ready to do it.
Because you kind of jump on when you're wanting to get tickets
a couple of minutes before and you're like,
refresh, refresh, refresh.
Yeah, that's exactly what happens when millions of Swifties do that.
Yeah, so they crash the site basically,
which I imagine would be so stressful if you were jumping on there
thinking this was the moment.
Yeah.
And then in your head you're like,
am I the only one who's blocked and everyone's just there
getting all the tickets
and nothing to be left for me?
So they went on
the American Express presale site
and it said,
we're sorry,
we are momentarily experiencing
technical difficulties.
Everything you don't want to read.
We're working on
bringing ourselves back online.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Right.
The inconvenience being
you can't buy Taylor Swift tickets.
But I wouldn't be too worried
about the Amex presale
because those were only
for like the VIP packages, which were like the really expensive tickets. But I wouldn't be too worried about the Amex presale because those were only for like the VIP packages,
which were like the really expensive tickets.
Really expensive ones and you get your little kits and stuff.
So it wasn't like suddenly the stadium was now half sold
and, you know, you missed out.
But people were flipping.
Like you can imagine, Twitter, Reddit,
everything was going insane over this.
Anyway, that sorted itself out by quarter past 12.
Right.
So 15 minutes later.
No, it was supposed to be 10.
Oh, it was supposed to be 10.
Okay, not 12.
Right. Yeah, it really hit some speed bumps.
And then so people at Ticketek, right, are saying like, hey, like, don't let this throw you.
Like, we've got a plan
make sure you've got a plan
and the Ticketek people said the
number one thing you should not do
please remember when you're in the queue and you're there
do not refresh your page
because then
you're in a virtual queue, that's like you
stepping out of the line and going right to the back
yeah
do not refresh
from them they said. Do not refresh.
Okay.
From them, they said,
the team at Frontier have been working tirelessly with Ticketek to try to ensure the smoothest process.
We ask that fans stay calm, be kind to each other,
be prepared, read our pre-sale tips,
and whatever you do, do not refresh your browser.
So you would want as many of your friends in the queue.
Yeah.
So that whosoever goes bing first,
you're ready to buy tickets.
And you've got a window, eh?
Like 15 minutes or whatever.
So make sure you're pre-registered with an account.
If you don't have one with Ticketique as well,
that will help.
So the pre-sale details for the pre-sale tickets tomorrow,
Sydney tickets will go on sale New Zealand time
at lunchtime, midday.
And Melbourne tickets will go on sale at 4 o'clock New Zealand time.
So all those details are in the Frontier pre-sale.
And the tickets for the general public on Friday, same times, midday on Friday.
And then Melbourne, that's for Sydney.
And then Melbourne will be 4 o'clock New Zealand.
And tickets will be limited to four per customer.
Get a plan with your friends.
Yeah.
You're going to have to kind of break off if there's more than four of you
because you're never going to get seats next to each other.
Yeah.
So if you're a group of five,
you want to do like two and three or if you're a group of six,
like three and three or whatever.
Yeah.
And then,
because remember the ticket prices for New Zealand are between 79.90 and
380,
which is your VIP.
So you need to know,
like, what's your window? What are you happy to pay? What's the line you won't cross financially?
So some pre-sale tips as well from Frontier. When the pre-sale period begins, copy your code from the member details that you've got in your email. Give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Join the queue.
Don't refresh like you said.
Only use one browser or device.
Don't open multiple pages.
Do not refresh the queue page.
Keep an eye on the website timer.
You get a set time to purchase
and the presale will run for 24 hours
or until tickets have been exhausted.
I'd say it'll be the last one there.
Tickets will be exhausted very quickly.
Oh, yeah.
24 hours.
I think so, mate.
I wonder how many they sell in the pre-sale.
They never tell you, eh?
No, they don't.
Because the MX pre-sale was just your big VIP,
American Express VIP packages,
which not everyone wants nor can afford.
Yeah.
So your general tick, oh, I don't know.
I'm so nervous for everyone.
And people have got flights and accommodation
and people are going to miss out, there are going to be tears.
No but I feel like Swifties are such positive
people. Anyone we've talked to
who has flights and accommodation
are like well I'm just going to go and hang out and have a nice time
anyway. That's what they say.
That's what they say. There is a burning rage
that could melt steel.

Cinnamon roll man.
What do you think sort of man that is describing?
Just like cute layers of icing.
Yeah, like rolly boy.
A rolly boy with like a sweet inner.
Yeah.
Like what is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters?
Yep.
Michelin star man. The Michelin man is the guymallow Man from Ghostbusters. Yep. Michelin Star Man.
The Michelin Man is the tyre guy that looks like a stack of tyres.
Yep.
And there's another one, the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Yes, the Doughboy.
Meh.
That's what I was expecting.
Right.
What's the Cinnamon Roll Man?
I could not have been further from what the Cinnamon Roll Man actually is.
I'll give you some examples of the cinnamon roll man.
Okay.
Timothy Shalamale.
Okay.
He doesn't have any rolls.
Zero rolls on Shalamale.
He's got negative rolls.
He's very skinny, isn't he?
He's not at all.
I don't know if he's ever had a cinnamon roll.
Joe Carey from Stranger Things.
He plays Steve.
Okay.
Cinnamon roll man.
Frank Ocean.
Cinnamon roll man. You Ocean. Cinnamon Roll Man.
You are painting a picture.
The king of the Cinnamon Roll Man, the lead cinnamon roll,
the cinnamon manager.
Yep.
Harry Styles is considered the top of the cinnamon roll.
So it's not cinnamon roll like there's a man who enjoys a cinnamon roll.
It's cinnamon roll like he is a cinnamon roll.
He's sweet.
He's twisted. He's twisted.
He's got layers to him.
Yeah, maybe there's layers.
A sweet little treat.
He's soft.
He's got big, juicy sultanas in him.
You can bite into him.
Yeah.
But they're saying the cinnamon roll man is the new leading man,
taking over the traditional knight in armor, knight in shining armor,
which was considered more masculine
like an alpha male. An alpha male
a big muscle bound boy
and they're saying. Like a Chris
Hemsworth. That is sweet as well. Chris Hemsworth
is sweet. He is a sweetie. Would he be a
cinnamon man? He's bite.
He straddles.
You know what I mean? But he's the alpha role.
Is it about physicality?
There is a physical element to it.
A footballer's included in it.
Marcus Rashford is a footballer with a conscience.
And they said, but then he's not like a big, bulky,
he's a lean, mean running machine.
Yeah, right, okay.
Yeah, and Shela Millay.
Shela Millay.
Shela Millay.
A lot going on there for Shela Millay.
So it's about
the sensitivity,
the layers.
Sensitivity,
the softness.
But also very
style-y
all of those people.
Yeah,
a bit of spice.
There's a style to it.
But not like
your big,
tough,
alpha male,
get behind me,
sweetheart,
I'll take care of this.
Oh my God.
Yeah, right.
Say get behind me,
sweetheart, again.
Like Jason Momoa,
he would be an alpha male,
right?
Yeah. Exactly. But he's also a sweetie and a silly goof as well on behind me, sweetheart, again. Like Jason Momoa, he would be an alpha male, right? Yeah.
Exactly.
But he's also a sweetie and a silly goof as well on the inside.
Spicy and sweet.
Yeah, right.
Spicy and sweet.
This is a cinnamon roll, man.
More of maybe a Chelsea bun guy.
Yeah, could be a Chelsea bun.
Something that's hard but sweet.
Maybe he's a pain au chocolat.
Yeah, more of a Lamington man.
You really are a Lamington guy.
He loves a coconut.
Just a bit of coconut raffle on the outside. A little bit of a Lamington man. You really are a Lamington guy. He loves a coconut. Just a bit of coconut raffle on the outside.
A little bit of a delicious pink or brown.
Yeah, pink or brown, take them both.
Jelly sweetened.
Cream filled, you've got to have cream.
And I'm just a real stale sponge on the inside.
Yeah, you were a sponge that was a cake yesterday,
but now it's gone a bit yuck,
so they've dipped you in a whole lot of stuff
to try to give you a new lease on life.
And I've got a layer of fake cream as well.
Yeah.
Just to make you wetter, basically.
Otherwise way too dry.
I'm trying to moisten you up because you're such a dry old biscuit.
I need to see more of me and my Lamingtons in Hollywood.
The Lamington men.
The Lamington men.
The Lamington lads.
The Lamington lads.
It's a lot better.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Her name on TikTok is Swiftly Enchanted and her real name is Ella.
Get it? Because she loves Taylor Swift Swiftly Enchanted, and her real name is Ella. Get it?
Because she loves Taylor Swift, Ella Enchanted.
Ella is her name.
Ella is on the phone.
Good morning, Ella.
Good morning.
Now, you would consider yourself a ginormous Swifty.
Yeah, just a little bit.
What is it about her that, I mean, there's a thousand things.
Oh, God. Yeah, stupid question, there's a thousand things. What is it? God.
Yeah, stupid question, Hayley.
I'm sorry I'm dumb.
My favourite video on your TikTok is the moment that you're driving to work quite early in the morning.
Oh, my God, I was driving to the gym.
I was driving to the gym.
Driving to the gym and then you were listening to ZDM where we announced that Taylor Swift was coming to Australia,
which meant you'd be able to go and see her.
Yeah, oh my god. And you were beside yourself.
I literally got to the gym
and like no one really knows that I'm a Taylor Swift fan
and I was shaking and crying, like what's wrong?
I'm like, Taylor Swift is coming to Australia.
They're like, oh my god, are you serious? I was like, yeah.
I suggested before that we play your video
but it's too much swearing in it.
There's a lot of swearing.
She's been overwhelmed.
Did they make you do extra burpees or whatever at the gym because you were crying over something so but it's too much swearing in Ella. There's a lot of swearing. Oh, sorry. She's a bit overwhelmed. He did it.
Did that make you do extra burpees or whatever at the gym because you were crying or something?
I mean, it was basically a natural pre-workout.
Right, got the heart rate up, bit of adrenaline going.
I was ready to go, feel good.
I've just been on a high the last week.
It's been great.
I love this and you've been sharing videos.
Well, one, you suspected that we knew something before we did.
Yeah, because you guys have been sneaky as anything.
And I'm like, surely the radio station's known before we did.
We didn't.
We genuinely didn't.
We know when you know.
Okay, right.
She does not believe us.
She doesn't believe us.
We've been sitting on this for months.
I mean, sometimes we know before.
But not this time.
It's very secretive.
I'm in the wrong industry, honestly.
Wait a minute, what industry are you in?
Health and fitness.
Yeah, I can tell.
I can tell on your TikTok.
Now, you've been sharing some tips on your TikTok to get tickets for the NZ Swifty.
What's your sort of key advice?
Okay, so a couple of things.
We need to make sure that we've got an Australian TicketX account.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah, and then also when you are, like,
logging in for the pre-sale, make sure you've got your code.
Make sure you're already logged into your TicketX account
because otherwise you're just wasting time.
Yeah. Be on the site 15 into your TicketTek account because otherwise you're just wasting time.
Be on the site 15 minutes before TicketTek the recommending
but then this is like controversial
because then you're like clogging the website.
Yeah, I know and you saw what just happened with
the American Express. Oh my god, I know
and that was only pre-sale so
I'm just going to go by what TicketTek's telling us
and just get on there early
and be logged in and just most importantly
do not refresh. Do not
refresh, that's the main thing. That's the big one, yeah.
Because you're literally just forfeiting
your chances, so just keep calm
and just settle for whatever
tickets you get pulled up. Ella, what
will you do if you don't get tickets?
I will still go to Australia
and stand outside the concert.
I think there's going to be a fun vibe out there.
I mean, it'll be equally as sad but equally as beautiful
because it'll be still as loud, you'll have the good vibes
with everyone around and just ride it off as a girls' weekend.
And if you do get to go, what do you want for your outfit?
What are you going to wear?
Because people get dressed up.
Oh, my God.
So I think I'm going for a fearless vibe.
I would love to do her, you know, in the fearless tour
when she, like, ripped off that cheerleader costume
and then she had, like, a sparkly dress.
Like, I could totally do that and have a costume change mid-concert.
So you're going for your own costume change in the middle.
I love this.
I basically would.
And I've got, like, six eras to go through,
so I could potentially do, like, six costume changes.
Or you'd be hot at the start of the night, though, if you've got got like six eras to go through so I could potentially do like
six different things
It would be hot
at the start of the night
though if you've got
six layers of eras on
Especially Taylor's
puffer vest era
That was a lot
I'll just have to
try and go to
all of her shows
and do like
six different outfits
Also the sound
of sequins on sequins
walking would be like
Well Ella
I'm anxious for you.
It's going to be a big day tomorrow and Friday
for all of the Swifties, including yourself.
And we do have a chance for you to submit your Dream Errors outfit,
ZM Online, and win flights, tickets, accommodation
to see her in Melbourne.
You should go and follow Ella's TikTok as well.
Yes, I'm on it, guys.

Double pass for you.
Thank you. Oh, I'm so nervous.
Taylor who?
No.
Taylor who?
Hey, look, we've all got different tastes.
Congratulations.
There's a few of us that are going to go to this.
Absolutely.
And I just thought with that song, after all this time I'm still into you,
do you reckon Aaron will let me be that?
That's a wedding song? Do well, that's a wedding song?
Do you think that's a wedding song?
I don't think it's a wedding song.
I mean, it's great, but I don't know if it's a wedding song. After all this time, by the time we get married, it's going to be 13 years together.
What about if there was someone with, like, glass harp?
Oh, no, I hate soft versions of rock songs.
I've heard that song hundreds of times.
It's the first time I've heard the glockenspiel in it.
There's glockenspiel in that song.
There is a glockenspiel in there. Ah, rightckenspiel in that song. Ah, right. Well,
Gab, congratulations. We'll see you there, Gab. Come say
hi. All yours, and we do have
a second chance at ZM's Facebook
for another chance to win all those concert details
at ZM Online.
Speaking of online, you guys
can borrow my liner.
My eyeliner.
Oh, for the concert. I'm okay.
Now, Chanelette Pyjamas. Gosh, she's got a pretty face, but sometimes concert. I'm okay. Yeah. I'm okay.
Now, Chanelette Pajamas.
Gosh, she's got a pretty face, but sometimes she's a bit of a goof.
Sometimes she's an absolutely babbling buffoon, aren't you?
Aren't you, hun?
You've also got a, you've shit sandwiched there,
but you've shit toasted, basically, because you haven't put another piece of bread on top.
You said she's got a pretty face, but she's a goof.
Oh, and a kind heart, but she's a goof in the middle.
That's it.
What have you done, Horn?
So I was enjoying some dinner and I had...
Some dinner?
I was enjoying some dinner.
I'm embarrassed, but I brought this to the table.
What were you having for dinner?
I was hungry, so I had a 250 gram piece of lamb,
just a rump of lamb.
A rump of lamb?
By itself.
Did you even do a gravy?
No side.
No sides?
Gravy lamb?
Right.
No, like a sauce, sorry.
It was pre-marinated, but I just put it in the oven and ate it.
Okay.
I'd eaten lunch, so this was dinner.
Great.
Thank you for
showing us how it works. Was there a meal
in the morning as well? Did you have
breakfast?
Who? She broke her fast.
She broke her overnight fast.
Yeah, well, so I was eating it in
bed and I was... Well, I'm going to have to stop you right
there. Bed is no place to eat.
I was eating 250 grams of lamb
rump. I was having dinner in
Bud. I was eating 200
grams of lamb rump.
Well, it slipped off
and the lamb hit the duvet
half. Oh, for God's sake. And I believe
your duvet is of a waffle consistency.
Waffle grey.
It is no longer grey. It's
lamb. It's lamb.
And you've got to, you can't get the stain out.
You've tried.
I've tried.
And it's not my duvet.
It's my mum's.
And I know she's listening right now.
And I'm sorry, Bev, I've ruined your duvet.
Surely she wasn't.
But your mum called Bev the same as you.
Yeah, we've both got Bev's.
I just said that for the first time as well.
I just called her hot legs.
Yeah, hot legs.
She does have hot legs.
She won hottest legs in Australia in 1970. You don't say my mum's got hot legs. Well, hot legs. She does have hot legs. She won hottest legs in Australia in 1970.
You don't say my mum's got hot legs.
Well, she hasn't won the title.
It would be far bad for me to say your mother has lovely legs
without a title to back up my claims.
Having just met your mother, I can confirm she's got lovely legs,
but again, not the title.
The title goes to Shannon's Bev.
So have you tried like a, I've got a grease spray.
Yeah, a side grease spray.
That's pretty good.
No, I tried face wash because I didn't have it.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forget she's young.
I forget, yeah.
Well, I only have a bar soap and I was trying to go to bed after.
So I didn't want to make it too wet.
Bar soap would work better than a face wash.
Yeah.
For getting a stain off because it's got the oily stuff in it that breaks it too wet. Bar soap would work better than a face wash for getting a stain off because it's got the oily
stuff in it that breaks it all down.
But I thought face wash because it was foamy.
What face wash are you using?
What are we talking? A proactive?
No, no, Cetaphil. Cetaphil doesn't clean anything.
That's for your face, not
a duvet stain. Yeah, it didn't
work. Christ, what are we dealing with
here? Now she's called it a stain but
if she just washed it properly,
I just want to get my hands on it.
I just want to get my hands on it.
I know, like, you see the challenge.
I just see the challenge.
I can get this stained.
That's also a mum thing.
Yeah, bring on the waffle.
My mum could get a stain out of a waffle.
It's also covered in fake tan because I dropped a thing of fake tan on it
one time thinking it was hair mousse.
I would have worried about it.
Shannon's a bit gross
yeah yeah
when her magician boyfriend
comes over
and he hops into
a brown tan stained bed
with like
stinks of lamb
who's that artist
that specialises in
Jackson Pollock
yeah Jackson
but you've got the
Jackson Pollock duvet on
I wouldn't worry too much
about another
another little Pollock
yeah
I know I'm worried
my room smells like lamb now
but I've left
I want to say,
you in general,
when you walked in this morning,
I was like,
you don't eat lamb in bed.
I don't eat dinner in bed.
You don't eat dinner in bed.
We don't have a table.
You don't eat on the floor
or something,
or on a chair.
No,
I just,
I was,
it was nearly bedtime,
so I was just having my,
You put down a large beach towel
over your lap.
Yes,
you always put a towel down. If you're going to eat it in bed, I need you to put down a large beach towel over your lap Yes you always put a towel down
If you're going to eat it in bed
I need you to put down a tablecloth
Yes
While on the bed
Based on this
even though I'm not convinced
it's a stain
I just think that
the chandelier pyjamas
doesn't know how to clean
which worries me
I want to know
because everyone has this
what is the thing
that is stained in your house
that you just cannot fix?
Oh like it had the carper
and it's there forever now
There it is You just can't get it out.
That's what we're dealing with. I've tried
a rug doctor steaming mad at dirt.
I've tried this. I've tried hydrogen peroxide.
Nothing works. What is the stain?
Or maybe you've got that jumper that you still
just wear. You know
that everyone had those country road jumpers?
They sort of have that kind of matte finish.
They always get a grease mark on them. No matter what, I've owned three
of them. All of them have a grease stain.
Have you used the Sard spray?
I've used Sard, Bip.
I've used Sard.
I've used everything.
You give it a little scrub?
A little scrub?
A little scrub, but not enough to peel it.
With a nail brush?
Yeah.
A little scrub and then get the oil?
Get it out.
So whether it's the carpet, whether it's your favourite piece of clothing,
what has just always got a stain on it?
Yeah.
That you just cannot get rid of?
Maybe you've done that sunblock stain.
You know when sunblock bleaches something
and there's like a hand mark on something?
Sunblock should not bleach something.
Yeah, we had a sunblock one year bleach all our towels.
It was so weird.
I don't think that's meant to be.
And now the towels have got like cool hand prints on them.
I like when someone drops something on a deck
and it's in the water.
Oh, stain forever.
What are you doing? What are you saying that for? And it's oil the water. No, no, no. What are you doing?
What are you saying that for?
And it's stained.
And oil.
Yes.
We got a smack for that when we were kids because we made a vinegar soda bomb and put
the soda in too quick and couldn't get off the deck in time before it exploded and bleached
marks and dad's new coiler deck.
We ran away down the farm and hid in a gum tree.
Yeah.
And he found you, gave you a hiding.
And then when we were eventually like, wonder if he's
cooled off yet? We walked up and he was
like, well, well, well. And he had not cooled
off. He had cooled off some, but
he had not really cooled off. Or maybe
it's something you tried to fix to get the
stain out, like on the carpet, but you've just
made a big, like a faded
patch on the carpet. Yes.
And we'd love to know what caused the stain.
Like the lamb chops in bed.
Your first option
always be Google
the specific removal
of that stain
and immediately get onto it.
It was like when we dragged
tar all through
that new bathroom.
I was just going to say tar.
And it was butter
that got it off.
Yeah, who knew?
Who knew?
Butter gets tar off tiles.

What's stained?
What is stained and you just can't get it out?
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
We want to know, what is forever stained?
What will always be stained?
Shanley at Pyjamas last night ate 250 grams of lamb rump in her bed.
That's one thing.
But then it slipped off the plate and stained the grey waffle.
Which is already forever
stained with fake tan.
We have had a message from Bev,
Hot Legs Bev. Yeah, this is
your mum. She said
just keep the duvet, didn't she?
She's written that off.
So we want to know the stain that you have
in your house or on your person
and that you just never get it out.
And the story behind it, Jade, what is Forever Stained?
Yeah, so my flatmate at the time, she was dying her hair brown and her bedroom was on
carpet.
Oh, no.
Okay.
She should never do it.
Jesus.
And so, of course, it got on the carpet and it was just a rental.
So she was like, what am I going to do?
So she bleached it out.
Yeah. So now was like, what am I going to do? So she bleached it out. Yeah.
So now she's moved out.
That's my bedroom, and I stare at a massive bleach stain every day.
No, she was a dumb idiot, is it fair to say?
She was a dumb, dumb, dumb.
Can we have confirmation?
It was a dumb move.
It was definitely a blonde move.
Yeah.
Wait, so you're on.
It is a blonde move because the carpet's blonde now.
Yeah.
So wait, she didn't lose her bond.
She didn't lose her bond. You're going to lose the bond. Yeah, that's just something we've the carpet's blonde now. Yeah. So wait, she didn't lose her bond. She didn't lose her bond.
You're going to lose the bond.
Yeah, that's just something we've learned to live with now.
This is an inherited stain.
Yeah.
That's not your financial problem.
I hope she didn't get her bond back.
See, what colour is the carpet?
Because I'd almost try to match the bleached.
It's like a light.
So, yeah.
I wonder if Schwarzkopf does a light grey carpet colour.
Or just like get a Resene paint bottle and then water it down
and just kind of like wash it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like just a light rinse.
Just match it.
You'll never match it.
Yeah, no.
Resene can colour match anything.
Yeah, they can colour match.
You can go online.
They've got a colour match operator.
Pull up the carpet in that room and then tell the landlord
there never was carpet in that room.
Oh, yeah, they'd never know.
Oh, my God.
And they're very believable.
We did that.
They've seen it.
They've seen it.
Oh, they've seen it.
Okay, so they know, right.
Okay.
They know and they're just like, oh, wow.
So you removed carpet at a flat that wasn't yours
and then just told them there was never carpet?
No, they know about the...
No, no, we did.
Wait, you did?
Yeah.
At that Sandringham flat we had.
Oh, my God. The inn room, the carpet was like manky, it got wet.
I think the dog weed in there a couple of times.
Couldn't get the smell out.
We just pulled it all up and then like one weekend
varnished the wooden floor underneath, which was like...
Beautiful.
You've increased the value of your property.
And then put a rug in and we're just like,
no, I don't think that room ever had carpet.
Bought one of those brass things that you tack down in the doorway.
You're stunning.
Did they believe that?
Mm-mm.
Well, you... Must have. You got your bomb bagged in, yeah.
Mustn't live there anymore.
Jade, thanks for your call.
Joel, what is forever stained?
So at one of my old flats, you know how you just say,
hey, chuck me the Sriracha sauce to my mate.
Yeah.
And he goes ahead and picks it up and throws it at you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The lid was open.
Of course it was.
So it bounced off my hand.
I don't have great hand-eye coordination.
Okay, you've got other redeeming qualities.
Oh, thank you, Hayley.
Like what?
A beautiful voice, beautiful dulcet tone, a kind manner.
Manners?
Yeah, manners, yeah.
I can keep on going.
No, no, keep this going.
I need this this morning.
A taste for spicy foodies.
Yeah.
You love spicy food.
Like the sriracha.
No, yeah, it's not an embarrassing palate.
Yeah.
I can continue all day, Joel.
Okay, well, thank you.
We can continue later.
Anyway, and so the sriracha not only went on the wall,
but also on the carpet.
And it turns out sriracha sauce stains instantly.
Does it?
There's no off time.
So we had an orange squirt.
And so what we did is we moved the couch over the carpet spot.
Yeah, a flawless technique.
That did a wonderful, and then we put a painting,
but we hung it really low.
Oh, no.
Everyone was just like, why is that painting so low?
I had to crouch to appreciate it.
No, no, we legitimately just, we didn't even hang it.
We just put it on top of the couch.
Yeah, perfect.
And we got our bond back.
Yes, you did.
Fantastic. So a happy ending, back. Yes, you did. Fantastic.
So a happy ending, Joel.
Brilliant.
Smart as well.
Lorraine, what has forever stained?
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Talking about the resins, that's exactly what I did.
So I was moving out of my house,
and on the night before I was moving out,
my rolling wardrobe door fell off.
Yeah.
And so I was trying to lift it up and put it back on with my hands and my toe,
like my foot.
Yes, yeah.
And then I had no idea that my toe got completely cut,
and there's bloodstains all over the cream carpet.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no.
And so I was like, oh, no, I can't swear.
Far out.
Far out, yeah.
And then I was like,
tried everything,
like the sud,
the carpet removal,
the stain removal,
rug doctor, everything,
to get my bond back.
And then I was like,
this isn't working.
So I went to Bunnings
and then I took a photo
of the carpet,
colour matched it,
and watered down the resin over the bloodstains and you couldn't see anything.
Oh my God, so that actually works!
See, I told you!
Wait a minute, didn't they leave the carpet crispy and crunchy when it dried?
Did it crisp up crunchy?
No, it was really, really good.
And I majored in art with my teaching degree,
so I was, like, focused really hard on it.
And then I just made it absolutely perfect.
I love this.
And she came in and she was like, oh, looks amazing.
And I was like, winning, winning.
Oh, my God.
I reckon Lorraine's caller of the week.
That is so funny.
I do too.
I know it's Tuesday.
A $50 McCafe.
I don't want anybody getting any ideas.
Lorraine's a teacher.
Oh, Joel and Jade's are wicked.
Lorraine, we're going to hook you up
with a $50 McCafe voucher. Thanks to
our friends at McCafe. Well done.
Thank you. You don't sound like you
need any more coffee this morning, though.
I also just love that you were just...
I've had two big cuts and I'm just about to head into the gym.
So I'm just...
Lorraine, thank you. Let's go
to Jess. Jess, what is forever stained?
Oh, well, my childhood carpet is forever stained.
Because of what?
Well, I won't say how old I was,
but may have got a little bit sloshed
on the old raspberry vodka cruisers.
16.
16.
I'm saying 16.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We'll say 16. 16, yeah. I'm saying 16. Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll say 16.
And may have puked all over my carpet.
Oh, yeah, this is what I did with the Midori,
but that was a friend's carpet, luckily.
So that was green, yours was pink.
Yeah, mine was a bright, bright red.
Mum wasn't home at the time, so puked all over the carpet.
Tried to scrub it out, made it a bit worse.
Mum got home, absolutely livid.
Well, it's been more than 15 years, like you say,
and the stain is still there.
Oh, my God.
This is what I'm saying.
And Lorraine before has now told everybody that paint works.
How many people are going to try to fix their carpet stays with paint?
Next Christmas, go home and paint it.
Yeah, yeah, good call.
Give it a try.
Jess, thank you. A couple of messages to it. Yeah, yeah, good call. Give it a try, RGS. Thank you.
A couple of messages
just to finish.
Well, then this is more
carpet issues
and I'm wondering,
Lorraine's going to be problematic
with the same story
but with purple guanas.
Now, I haven't had a shiny
ever purple go.
Those things,
very purple.
Purple, purple, purple.
Red cruiser stain
on the carpet
will not budge.
So that's just a straight spill
rather than it being
in your stomach
and then coming out. Fanta on the carpet. See, I. So that's just a straight spill rather than it being in your stomach and then coming out.
Fanta on the carpet.
See, I want to have Fanta.
I saw on TikTok to use eucalyptus oil on
stains, even oil stains, and then put them through the
washing machine. So put oil on oil?
I'd double check that.
The Rogue
unfinished raspberry ice block on the carpet.
I've
dropped cheap ones on the carpet. Must use a cheaper
colouring because they've come out, but this was a
tip-top popsicle raspberry.
Wow. You missed
this message. My heart is stained with the pain
of being broken up with.
Jesus.
I am sorry to
hear it. Really sorry to hear it.
It brought
the mood down, didn't it?
I hope you can get the stain out.
Try vinegar. You can lip this oil.
Vinegar, you can lip this oil.
Or just a salve. Well, the other day on Fact of the Day
I said I like when people take a challenge upon them
To find a fact of the day
And Rod heard me say that
And Rod said, what about this?
And sent me the fact that manatees use farts to swim
They hold in the gas and they need to float to the surface of the ocean
And release the gas to sink back to the bottom
By farting.
And I said, done it.
That's funny, though.
That is a classic.
That's a classic.
And he said, apologies, I'll try harder.
Then it was three hours later.
He said, before toilet paper was invented, Americans used dry corn cobs.
You'll remember that.
I remember that, yeah.
That's a fact of the day.
Because I haven't been able to look at corn cobs the same.
No.
No.
When you eat all the corn off the corn cob,
imagine holding onto that for a bum wipe.
I said, done it.
He said, the last letter added to the alphabet was actually J.
I said, done it.
Done that one as well.
And then he said, well, now I'm on a mission.
God, he really wasn't detuned.
I would give up too.
He sat in overnight and got back to me the next day and said,
power, have two human-like teeth to eat seaweed.
And I said, I beg your pardon, Rod?
Haven't done that one, have we?
And he said, aha.
He's gotcha.
I gotcha.
And he said, I'm trying to find proof in a picture I've taken,
and here is the evidence, good sir.
And he sent me this picture.
Now, this means nothing to anybody playing along at home,
listening to the radio,
but those are the teeth that Pawa have for chewing seaweed.
Ooh, what?
They look like massive human teeth.
Totally.
They look more like human teeth than animal teeth.
Wait, have I eaten those in a Pawa fritter before?
No, no, because they take the,
very important to take the teeth out of a Pawa fritter,
even before you put it in the blender,
because it will really make a mess.
Yeah, right.
I said, oh my God, this is fascinating.
He said, yes, I win.
Here's two more power facts.
The hemophiliacs, meaning once they start bleeding,
they can't stop bleeding.
And their blood is clear.
And he said, and now I retire.
Yeah, okay.
He's done well.
He's got clear blood.
They've got clear blood.
So I was like, I'm going to need to confirm all these things.
So along to Wikipedia I go.
Yeah.
Power, I put in.
P-A with a Macron over the top.
Power.
U-A.
Power.
Is the Maori name given to three New Zealand species of,
and this is the fact that blew my mind the most,
large edible sea snails.
Ew, are they sea snails?
Sea snails.
Of course they are, I guess.
Marine gastropod mollusks.
Oh, they're gastropod mollusks. Of course. I was going to say, I was about to say it Marine gastropod mollusks. Oh, they're gastropod mollusks.
Of course.
I was going to say, I was about to say it, gastropod mollusks.
You took the words right out of, yeah.
Yeah.
So if you're one of our international listeners,
the United States and Australia call this abalone,
and I only learned that from home and away
when they were talking about the illegal abalone trade.
Yeah, because Al Stewart had a problem with the gangs, didn't he?
Yeah, he did.
And the abalone, and I looked up what an abalone was,
and that's when I learned that was a parwa.
I've heard that word before, and I've never,
I just was like, oh, whatever that is.
It's exactly the same.
It's parwa, okay.
And in the United Kingdom, they were known as orma shells.
But in New Zealand, now in Maori,
and also just commonly known as the parwa.
And then, yeah, I looked, and it turns out
they do have teeth for eating seaweed.
And they look like human front teeth.
They look like human front teeth.
We might pop one of these on the Instagram story.
I don't like it.
Oh, Shannon's giving you the okay there.
Sometimes she doesn't like you posting your stuff on Instagram.
Especially when he's promoting his sort of off-brand stuff.
It's a bit weird.
All I'm saying is why get your gas from Rock Gas when you can get your gas from me?
Vaughan, you're not an official gas.
Vaughan Gas doesn't exist.
Yeah, I go around and I get all those bottles
that they put into the ones at the petrol station
when you think you've got to do a swapper
because there's a little bit left in there
but you've got a whole barbecue to cook.
Oh, you get that out.
So I get that out and I put that in a bottle
and then I keep pushing more and more gas into the bottles.
Then I sell you that gas.
It's basically like
how someone goes around
picking up everybody else's ciggies
and getting the last little bit
of back of that.
Yeah, yeah.
It makes the food on my barbecue
taste weird, Vaughan Gas.
It's all those different gases
and then sometimes
I'm a bit short
I'll just chuck in
a whole lot of different gases.
As a friend,
I really wanted to get
behind your company
and support.
I can't.
Bit of helium,
bit of CNG,
bit of LPG.
I mix my gases
and that's why I can afford
to sell it to you
at rock bottom prices. Vaughan Gas is not going to end well. Yay! I want to withdraw I'm a bit of CNG, a bit of LPG. I mix my gases and that's why I can afford to sell it to you.
It's not going to end well.
At rock bottom prices.
Vaughan Gas is not going to end well.
I want to withdraw my investment.
It's too late, baby.
You're locked into Vaughan Gas.
So today's fact of the day, thanks to Rodders.
Rodders.
Rodders. Is that power have two human teeth.
What another human teeth?
Power have two human-like teeth for chewing up seaweed.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. So yesterday, I did speak about the fact that my vertigo is back, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, the vertigo is back.
And so yesterday, I just laid down and I sort of went to sleep for three hours when I got home.
And it was sort of a feverish sleep where I was like awake because also the builders were
there and they were banging and hammering but also
they listened to ZM
so loud and look I appreciate
it's fantastic
I'm not discouraging them
is it falafel or falafel
that's the debate
they have in the afternoons you know
anyway so you're saying
that you hear yourself on the ads or something?
I hear me on the ads and I hear the music I listen to all morning
and I was like, wasn't I just at work?
Haven't I left?
Right.
Well, this is great.
I love our builders.
They're so fun and they sing along to all the songs.
They'll be absolutely...
They'll be at our house right now being...
Sing it along to bloody...
Fantastic.
This is great. Harry. This is great.
This is great.
Except when you need a nap.
Except when you need a nap.
Anyway, I sort of drifted away eventually
to the sounds of probably Doja Cat, I imagine, or whoever.
And I had a dream.
And I woke up and I was like, awesome.
That was really fun.
The dream was
that I was working,
it was like a,
what are those things called?
Quarry.
A quarry.
With rocks and trucks
and diggers and explosions.
It was like a big dugout
all day.
And we were filming there
something.
Yep.
And I got on this set
and I was working on this set
in a small part
and I got there
and Jason was there.
Jason Momoa.
Jason Momoa. Jason Momoa.
Hollywood superstar. Who you met? Who I met and who I think we would say we're close friends
now. Well, he follows you on Instagram. I don't know if we'd say close friends. And
in the dream, I had met him and then I can't remember any of the, you know, what happened
or anything like that. Like that bit of the dream was gone. But the next bit of the dream was that I woke up,
but not in real life, in the dream.
And I was in bed with him.
And we had...
My goodness.
Yeah.
We had slept together.
Wait, but so in your dream you'd fallen asleep
or you'd blanked the part where you'd slept together.
Well, I don't know if that dream bit happened
and I just forgot it.
Wait, and Doja Cat and the Builders were there?
Yeah, and Harry Styles.
Right, okay.
Everybody that you'd been subliminally listening to.
Leia, Sna, all of it.
They were in the quarry.
They were all there.
Wait, and where was the bed?
In the quarry.
It was like an Airbnb.
In a quarry.
In the quarry.
Was it a port-a-com? Because there's always a port-a-com at a quarry where someone was like an Airbnb. In a quarry. In the quarry.
Was it a port-a-com?
Because there's always a port-a-com at a quarry where someone's doing their accounts.
But it was fancy.
It was all like black aluminium and glass and stuff.
And I was like in bed and he was there and he was laughing
and I was like, oh.
And then I said, I feel so embarrassed.
I said, I feel so embarrassed.
I have no memory of last night.
And he was like, oh.
Well, last night we let the liquor talk.
We let the liquor talk.
Yeah.
And he was like, oh, that's absolutely fine.
And I said, well, I feel like I'm running late for set.
And he said, well, before you go.
Wait, you had a full-on erotic dream with Jason Momoa?
Yeah.
Wow.
He started me up for the day.
So it happened twice in the dream, once you can remember and once you can't remember.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he serviced you again in the morning because you'd forgotten the servicing the night before.
And he obviously couldn't have you go on a set saying it was forgettable.
He gave me a tune-up before I went back on the set.
And I literally woke up.
Aloha.
Aloha, good morning.
And you woke up.
I literally woke up and was like,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
Put me back in.
Put me back in.
Put me back in.
You can't go back into the dream.
You only go back into a dream
when it's a scary one or one you're not enjoying.
No, I know, I know, I know.
I woke up and I was like in a bed
in the middle of my lounge
with renovation happening and it was raining and I was like, take me to the middle of my lounge with renovation happening and it was raining
and I was like, take me to the quarry.
Take me back.
Take me to the quarry.
Yeah.
All right.
Thursday.
Mark it in your calendars because July 1st is going to see
the end of the GST being wiped off.
The fuel tax.
Fuel tax.
Yeah.
Oh, no, thank you.
So fuel's going to go up.
Oh, no, no, sorry.
The GST gets added as well.
So there was a cut of $0.25 a litre,
and then that and Chuck GST of that additional $0.25 on,
it's going to be going up.
It'll be going up around $0.29 a litre from the 1st of July.
Oh, that's a lot.
And road user charges at a reduced rate are due to go as well,
so you might want to top those up,
even though you weren't supposed to buy more than what you would have used
in that period anyway.
Wink, wink, wink.
I don't know how that works.
Is that if you've got a diesel?
You've got to do yourself.
If you've got a diesel, you've got to pay the hell out of it.
Okay, so basically fill up before Thursday.
Thursday, fill up.
Friday is July 1st.
You'd want to fill up Wednesday.
You'd want to fill up Wednesday.
So you have as much of the cheap stuff in there as you can.
I'm going to fill up.
July 1st is Saturday.
I do apologize.
Oh, okay.
It runs out on that.
So fill up by Friday.
By Friday, okay. By Friday. I'm going to do an
early morning. Midnight going into Saturday, it'll
be done. I think tomorrow morning, like a 4am
will be good, because the petrol stations will be
busy, and the one near us is really
small. But then what, are you going to give it another top up on Friday?
Just to make sure you've got as much of that
cheap fuel as you can? Yeah. Give a little
top up. But then also
remember, don't go filling up
heaps of containers.
I got told this recently.
Yeah.
Because the minute
it comes out of the pump,
it only lasts for
a certain amount of time.
It's a year-tied container.
Oh my God,
is it like yoga?
It loses its octane.
Yeah.
I think you're only
supposed to keep them
in your garage
for like a year tops.
Yeah.
What about your lawnmower?
What about your lawnmower?
So you should never leave,
you should never fill up your lawnmower if you're not going
to use all the gas in it and if you're just going to leave it sitting around.
Somebody told us this, it can void warranties on like two-stroke things.
If you put like a chainsaw, if you're like, oh, I'll fill it up because I'm going to use
it and then you just use it for a little bit and then put it in the shed and it sits in
there, it can be no good for the machine.
Yeah.
I would have known that.
I didn't know that until recently.
I only found out this year.
We were the same.
I was like, let's get heaps of petrol. And Aaron was like,
no, it expires, man. Yeah.
If you're going to get through it, like if you're on a farm
where you're constantly talking about it.
And in your car tank, it's fine.
As long as it's not sitting for years and years. Right, okay.
Huh. Well, fill up before
Saturday. Saturday
is the first and that's when it expires, so I'd say
your Thursdays and your Fridays.
Right. Fill up, get it done, and there might be some lines. Well, thank you, Vaughan. Better living, everybody. You're going to want my bicycle, aren't you? is the first and that's when it expires so I'd say your Thursdays and your Fridays fill up
get it done
and there might be some lines
thank you Vaughn
better living everybody
you're going to want
my bicycle aren't you
it's a long way
I'm not getting on a bike
have you seen the weather
lately cold
I'm not bicycling
29 kilometres
to work in the morning
at 3 o'clock in the morning
you're late enough
as it is
and you've got a car
you're lucky to even get here
by the time the show
starts at six.
I know.
You can imagine on a bicycle, I'd just be pulling in now.
No, you'd hook on.
I'd drive past you, just hook on.
And hold on.
Hold on for dear life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'd drive fast.
Like on Tony Hawk's skateboarder.
Yes.
Where you should jump on a car to get a bit of extra speed.
Except now I'm on a bike and I'm terrified and I can't let go
and I've got the speed wobbles.
Oh, yeah, hitting up under your car, actually.
Pretty not for the best. You could have just given me a lift.
Why am I on a bike with a lift as an option?
Why don't you carpool?
Hayley always wants to do karaoke.
She's the James Corden of carpooling.
That gets a bit much.
You want to listen to boring gaming podcasts
and I want to listen to a mixture of Huey Lewis,
Death Metal and Taylor Swift.
And you don't like it.
Hey, remember how you just gave that Uber driver five stars
because you wanted five stars back?
Yes.
Let's do that with this podcast.
Oh, yeah.
Review it five stars, tell your friends
and we'll do the same for you
if you ever need a review for anything.
But where are you giving me my five stars?
Well, I don't know.
Do you own a restaurant or something?
Yes.
If you give us five stars on this podcast,
tell us where you would like your review,
and we'll review.
We won't even go.
We'll just review your thing.
I don't want people to know where my restaurant is.
I'm doing one of those secret restaurants.
Oh, I was going to say,
because that's exactly the opposite of how restaurants work.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
