Because a lot of people do the Christmas shopping today or over the weekend. I need to go to

Chemist Warehouse and I need to get moisturiser and probably 20 other things that I don't need. Well, you know they've got to sail on because we're with the Chemist Warehouse. We are indeed.

Actually, today's our final day, I believe, that we're going to be drawing our winner today to get an amazing trip to Hong Kong.

Let's just come into the studio there. Gosh, a lot happens. It's a long pole. A long pole. A long pole's just been delivered. A long pole's just walked in. That's for our pole vaulting section at 8 o'clock this morning.

Very visual, but I think you'll still enjoy it. Doing a pole vaulting. Producer Carwin, so you were just busy while the man was delivering the giant poll. The poll. What's happening with Hong Kong today? Are we drawing the winner? We sure are.

We are. Today is the winner. Okay, wow. That's exciting stuff. Someone's going to Hong Kong. Good fun. And this time at least it's not Hayley because she's been enough. No.

A record setting four. Yeah. I hold the record for most amounts of visit to Hong Kong for any New Zealander. Four. The top six, just a couple of minutes away. Yes, maybe on the way to Hong Kong, you could stop off at Indonesia and enjoy some fish milk. No, thanks.

You lost me at fish milk. Indonesia is exploring. Indonesia, you had me. Fish milk is a protein source. Oh, yeah. But we're milking everything these days, aren't we? Yeah. Where's the fish's nipples?

How does it work? I'll tell you, but the top six, Izzy, top six other things we might as well make milk out of too. Where are a fish's nipples? Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. So Adele is leaving Las Vegas, right? So she's done a huge residency. How many years has it been?

A number of years. I remember looking at tickets for that, and it was insane how much she was asking for that. Yeah. Like, you would have been paying New Zealand over $1,000. Yeah. Just to see Adele. Yeah.

So fans are very upset with her for a similar reason, right? Because, yeah, I mean, that concert, and the thing about that concert, the Las Vegas one, is it was very intimate. And it would be amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're there with, like, did you see, I mean, the Celine Dion video when Celine Dion's in the audience

and they just burst into tears and they hug each other and stuff? Like, amazing. Hans Zimmer was in the audience, like one of the greatest film composers of all time. And Adele just goes up to him and it's, it would have been a great concert. Well, she is releasing a limited edition album so you're like great you know limited edition probably get a few special things a new

album no or a re-release of an old one it's her uh live in las vegas kind of recorded concert okay one-of-a-kind audio experience it's a box set, so lots of songs and whatnot. But translated to New Zealand dollars, it's around 600 bucks. Okay, that's a lot. Yeah. Is it going to be like streaming? We're going to be able to just stream this? Or can you only buy it?

I think for this, you can only buy the physical of it. Right. So she was like, she's got some new merch. then she put this thing out, the special like fan thing. People were like, have you got the decimal point in the wrong place, babe? Should that be 60? Yeah, I think you've actually

screwed up there. Like that's insane. I would never spend that much money on anything. Maybe like, no. Like none of your favourite bands? I was like,

maybe if, say Queen's my favourite band, if you had the whole entire back catalogue all on special edition vinyls with, you know, extra things, maybe. But not this, it's not that big. It's literally one concert. Yeah. So it's not her whole catalogue.

Vaughan, you wouldn't spend that much on Creed or Nickelback? I think I'd spend that much on nearly anything. Yeah. Outside of music. But if Nickelback, your number one band. I mean, it's your number one. It is my number one. Does it include the song off the Spider-Man soundtrack?

It does. Yeah, of course. Of course. Of course it does. No, that's not it. It wasn't Kryptonite. Kryptonite. Hero.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hero. What a song. I'm going to pull it up. Oh, don't. We're talking about Adele Vaughan. I'm actually quite keen to hear it, though. It's got Josie Scott on it, too.

Remember Josie Scott? No. Neither. Where is she now? I don't know. Is it even a she? They're shouting out of here. That's right.

Yeah, so you'd pay $600 for this on limited edition vinyl. Yeah, this is Nickelback. Was this Spider-Man 1 or 2? Unsure, Vaughan. I couldn't even tell you. Yeah, this is Nickelback. Was this Spider-Man 1 or 2? I'm unsure. I couldn't even tell you. I mean, it's a certified banger. Oh, absolutely. Actually, this wasn't actually Nickelback.

This was just Chad Kroger. Oh, okay. Nickelback didn't get kudos for this. Oh, yeah, you can really hear it in the back. Just Josie Skoll. Yeah, right. And they say they're out of here. Yeah, okay. Great song.

So take my money, nickel back, 600 bucks worth every dime. But yeah, people are upset. And they're calling it, they're like, she's being a greedy guts here. But a lot of artists do this. And you know, if the fans are into it, they pay it.

And remember she did say, because her residency actually ended a week ago tomorrow. Yeah, a while. So Saturday. And very long. And that's it, eh? She's not coming back. actually ended a week ago tomorrow. Yeah. So Saturday. And very long. And That's it eh?

She's not coming back. At the end she said you will not see me for a very long time remember. She was like time to go be a mum and a wife and just not be doing this every night.

Yeah. She doesn't need to work right? Like surely she's This is what I always think after doing a Las Vegas residency which they make bank. So two years. You gotta be done.

She planned to begin her residency in 2022, but in January 2022, but finally started in November 2022. Oh, so she's done her two years. And she's free now. She's free. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Well, Indonesia would like to explore the possibility of fish milk as a protein source. Oh, fish milk, eh? Okay, now they milk the fish milk. No nipples. They milk the fish, but there's no nipples on the top or the bottom. No nipples.

It turns out. So, where's the milk coming from? Well, the Wall Street Journal reports that local fishermen are taking boatloads of the local ponyfish. Is it boatloads or was it buttloads? You've read that wrong. Boatloads. Okay. Because they're on the sea. You could also say buttloads. If they're

being stored in barrels. If they're being stored in butts. Nah, just like lots. Yeah, but you know that's where buttloads comes from. A buttload is an official measurement. It's what a barrel used to be called, a butt. And so if you were taking buttloads of something... I thought it was a silly expression. Meaning like your tush you were taking.

Often used to measure alcohol because it was stored in barrels. Oh my God, buttloads. Yeah, buttloads of whiskey. But it was like barrels of whiskey. We've got a little bonus fact. Thank you. There's a little fact for you. You're smart.

We've got a smart friend, Fletch. We do. The Wall Street Journal reports that fishermen are taking boatloads of ponyfish to a factory to be deboned and ground down to powder. Oh, yuck. The protein-rich product is then either mixed with chocolate or strawberry to make it palatable.

Oh, yuck. And it tastes just like normal milk, says Mafarahul Corey. He would say that. The man that's ground down fish and added chocolate would say it tastes like chocolate milk. Shut up. Yuck. He works for the company that milks the fish.

I'm all for these advanced forms of protein, like the bug, like critter flour and all that kind of stuff that you use and all that. But that's still quite ultra processed in chocolate and that's not good for you, is it? Apart from the nutritional value of the fish you drink, Indonesian experts believe the fishing milk industry could become a $7.6 billion industry that employs 200,000 people. Oh my God, we should buy shares in fish milk, guys. They're going to have to work on the spin. Yeah, because fish milk in a sentence?

Yeah. Protein milk. Yeah. Yummy, because fish milk? Yeah. In a sentence? Yeah. Protein milk. Yeah. Yummy, yummy fish milk. Well, if we're making fish milk, we might as well make other stuff into milk as well. Top six other things we might as well try to make milk out of. Number six on the list, cow

milk. But not how you're thinking. We take the fish approach and we ground down the leftover cow bones. Okay. And then we mix it with chocolate or strawberry. Okay. Or banana. Right, it'll just hide everything. Hides everything. Because I was thinking we eat a lot of cows

and the bones just get given to the dogs. Yeah. We might as well be doing something with it. Our number five on the list of the top six other things we might as well make milk out of are watered down PVA glue. Yeah, actually. It's already got a milky... Isn't it, wasn't it a thing in ads when they're trying to get a really good looking pour of milk?

Yeah. It's more like watered down PVA? Yeah, I heard that. To give it a bit more viscosity. Yeah, it's one of those smoke and mirrors tricks. Yeah. For advertising. Okay, I'll drink some PVA milk.

Number four on the list of the top six other things you might as well try to make milk out of. Olive milk. Okay. Sounds young, doesn't it? Isn't that just olive oil? Yeah, that's what happens when you're milking olive.

It makes oil, not milk. But then when it first comes out, doesn't it slightly milkier? So it would be one stage less of stuff to do. Before you cold press it and stuff. Yeah, perhaps. Imagine having a full olive oil smoothie

in the morning. It would just go in one end and make its way to slip sliding out the other eye. Number three on the list of the top six other things we might as well make milk out of. Potato milk, which is basically just really watery mashed potatoes. Yeah. It's got no protein in it. Number two on the list. Well, this one's got lots of protein of the top six six other things we might as well have ate milk out of,

birds. They're everywhere. There's bird milk. Bird milk. Isn't that on always sunny in Philadelphia? Don't they make eagle's milk? Do they release that bodybuilding thing called eagle's milk? That's good stuff.

Do birds have nipples? No. Because they just vomit into the baby's mouth, eh? Yeah, they're an egg. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. So yuck. It seems a bit unfair.

They could have been given nipples. Do you know what I mean? I mean, regurgitate food. Can you imagine how sore it would be if a beak was on your nipple the whole time? Yeah, but they would have made beaks a bit nipple-friendly, wouldn't they? And they would have made nipples beak-friendly. Sort of a rounded tip and a bit more rubbery. Yeah.

And they would have made their nipples really calloused and quite stiff and hard. Imagine seeing a bird with a rubber beak. Also, that's not good for the aerodynamics of a bird to have nipples poking out. No, that's true.

Bit of drag there. Bit of drag there. Especially if you've got six of them. Yeah. Really dragging. And you've had like eight kids. Oh, yeah,

they're hanging down. You know, you see those dogs with big old dog nips, don't you? Oh, I know the down. You know, you see those dogs with big old dog nips, don't you? Oh, God, I know the dogs. Oh, I know the big sore dog nips. Yeah.

Poor puppy. That's why you actually teamed up with some vets to do that charity. That's right. The cosmetic surgery. That's right. We're taking all of these rescue dogs to Turkey. And then you got cancelled. To get new nipples. Because you were body shaming. I was body shaming these dogs. You. And then you got cancelled. To get new nipples.

Because you were body shaming. I was body shaming these dogs. You were body shaming the dogs. You know, these mothers. They're mothers. You know they don't have the body they had before children. But, you know, you're allowed to make a choice about your body. So we fly them to Turkey.

We do a nipple reduction. And they're happier than ever. And then I get a free boob job at the end of it. Yes. Because of all your referrals. Pay for 10, get one free, and you're the one free. I was the one a free boob job at the end of it. Yes. Because of all your referrals. Pay for 10, get one free, and you're the one free. I was the one free. Yeah.

They did all six of mine as well. Kind of them. It was interesting, yeah. And they don't drag on the ground anymore. No, I know. I was getting sick of that. You guys kept standing on them every time we stood too close. I was like, ow!

Getting a photo with guests. I know. They kept tripping up on them. Yeah. Ow.epers. And number one on the list of the top six other things we might as well make milk out of.

It's everywhere. Sand. Sand milk? Sand milk. It's everywhere. How... You didn't know about that one. What is sand?

What do you mean, what is sand? What do you mean, what is sand? Dude, actually, you know what? Sand might be a good milk because isn't sand just ground down... Lots of it is ground down. Glass and shells. It's like thousands of years of shells just being smashed down.

And shells are high in calcium because they're pretty much just bones and teeth. Great. Sand milk. Hello, he's on to something. That is today's Top 6. Today is Black Friday Warnings about scams as well Because a lot of scams kind of pop up on Black Friday

Oh yeah And you know people are waiting for their courier parcels And oh it's just going to cost $5 to release your parcel Credit cards online, all that Exactly And something that is rolling out today Or in the last couple of days, the end of November You may have had an email from your bank about this.

Confirmation of payee service. Yes, I received an email from my bank about this. That can't be right. You said end of November. It's May, isn't it? No, it's the 29th of November. Darling, Sunday's December. That's not right at all.

So this is a new service with all the New Zealand banks working together that, from what I understand, you can... Man, the New Zealand banks haven't that, from what I understand, you can. Man, the New Zealand banks haven't worked together since they worked together to screw us all over and over. Yeah, I know. It's nice of them to finally work together now. Yeah.

For something that's not just absolutely reaming evil. I always thought this would have been a thing like a long time ago, but this is going to give you a confirmation of payee. So when you. Yeah. I've always wondered about this. I know. Like, why hasn't this been a thing sooner?

Yeah. Oh, because I've done it before where I've put in the wrong bank account number. And the name is almost superfluous to requirements. Yeah, like it doesn't matter. Even if you don't have it. Say I buy something off you on Trade Man. I don't know you.

You're like, here is my full account name. You have to give them your full account name. And also businesses that maybe have a business name, but their account name is different are going to have to align those. But I would put in Hayley J Sproul, or do you just go HJ? You go HJ Sproul. And then I'd put in your bank account number, and it would just basically tick and say, this is a match.

This is her. This is Hayley's account. And then when I'm paying you a couple of hundred dollars I'm not going to have to worry. Why do you owe me money? Why do you owe me a couple of hundred bucks? Where did I buy you? I purchased those pots on Trade Me. Yes, that's right. But this is the thing with Trade Me, sometimes you don't have the name.

Speaking of pots at Hayley's place, I had one lined up for you. Did you? For your Monstera and she's like, actually we're using that. I said, that'd be great for Fletcher's Monstera. Because I'm going to buy one this weekend because I've got to repot it. It's blue.

I think it's bringing in a new colour to his grey apartment. Yeah, blue's not going to work in my apartment. No, it was sort of sealed. It was well off with that. I knew, don't worry.

Well, so this is rolling out and it's meant to help, I guess, a little bit with the fact that we are getting absolutely fleeced as Kiwis. Fleeced? Okay mum. Okay listen to this. 2.3

billion dollars lost to scams to New Zealanders in the last year. I don't have that money. That's a fleecing. I don't have that kind of money on me. It's an absolute fleecing. So Netsafe surveyed New Zealanders and they surveyed 1,000 people. The average loss to scams per victim, $3,100.

The average! That is insane. The average, because you hear about people losing a couple of hundred bucks, so to average that out, someone's losing tens of thousands. Producer Shannon, you fell for the toll road tech scam. Yeah. And how does that work basically they tell you that your car that you've got registered has gone through a toll road quick

pay it out it's only like two dollars um even though i drive in central auckland i was like yeah checks out you've never been in a toll road no not for like years but no yeah i fell for that one how do they get your... Because you're putting in your details to pay this $3 fine you have. So they're getting your credit, your card details, and then they get your card details and then take your money. Mine and my mum's, luckily, well, not luckily, they got her first and then I managed to cancel my card quick enough.

But then I fell for another one a while ago. The post? Yeah, it was the post one, I'm pretty sure, right? Yeah. But that's a credit card. The Post? Yeah, it was the Post one, I'm pretty sure, right? Yeah. Yeah. But that's a credit card one as well. Yeah. Right.

But this is going to definitely stop people that are, because a lot of people will get money transferred from bank accounts into another bank account and then take it overseas, right? Yeah, for sure. Like trick you into paying. It's gotten so bad that they're advertising. You know, they're doing like almost PSAs. They're making ads about checking

scams and stuff because there's just everywhere and they're getting smarter and smarter and smarter. Especially with AI as well. They're learning people's voices. Maybe have a word with mum and dad. Yeah. And nan and pop. And just be like, don't pay anything through a text or click a link without checking with

me first. Yeah, I've got that agreement and there's no judge. Yeah, even if you're like, oh, but I'm sure it's us. Just be like, don't. Because that's the thing. How many people, they say that they talk to a thousand people and these people have admitted to losing money, but how many people were just so embarrassed they didn't even admit it? They took that into account one year when they released the scam

and it was crazy how much more had been taken, but people were so even admit it. They took that into account one year when they released the scam and it was crazy how much more had been taken. But people were so embarrassed about it. Yeah, exactly. That they just swallowed it and were just like, I'm such a fool, I'm an old fool. No, don't you know, they're just very advanced. And it's not even old people, it's Shannon. She's a young fool, she's a beautiful young fool.

And the worst thing is My boyfriend was the face Of a TV show About how not to be scammed Oh for God's sake He should have taught He should have taught you better Do you know where the saying To be fleeced comes from?

No Is it bad? Am I cancelled? Oh my gosh It is actually It's very racist No it's not It was a thing

When wool was worth more You'd go to get your sheep And someone would Yeah that would have been Taking all the wool That would have been my guess Yeah yeah yeah Because the wool was worth money.

Now if someone came and sheared your sheep and stole the wool, you'd be bloody thankful. You'd be like, thank you for that. Because wool is worth nothing. Well, I think, yeah, it's worth nothing, eh? I think we should really just work it back into our... Being fleeced. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Fleshborn and Hayley, sillyletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Doth thou celebrate the giving of thanks? Yeah, Thanksgiving in America today. Just a silly American holiday. I've done it once. Who knows? It's actually quite a nice one. It's a controversial holiday.

Is it? Why? Well, it celebrates the like... Colonisation? Yeah, basically. Okay. Yeah, basically. Basically it celebrates the absolute reaming of a nation of peoples. Yeah.

I've only celebrated Thanksgiving once, and it was when I was in Oman for a long amount of time, working with the military. And one of the drummers... Because people don't know this, but you used to be a spy. I used to... Shut up. Sorry.

You've just put my whole entire life in danger. Sorry. You don't know what you've just done. She did covert missions. Yeah, she did covert missions, and I lived in Oman for some time. You've just put my whole entire life in danger. Sorry. You don't know what you've just done. She did covert missions. Yeah, she did covert missions, and I lived in Oman for some time. But one of the drum teachers there,

he was American, and we kind of lived together. You're a spy working with drum teachers. That was his cover. Oh, his cover. Teachers. Your cover was you're in the marching band. He's just blowing it. He's so bad.

Sorry, sorry. Oh my God, this drum wink teacher. For one that watches so many police procedurals, he's really done it undercover. And spy shows. I love spy shows. He ruined my life. But we did it once and it was really nice.

It was fun. We made a big jug of drinks and made a nice meal and stuff and said what we were thankful for. But I turned a blind eye to the colonisation. I will say, I turned a blind eye. The food always. The food always, I mean, it's like Christmas. The food aspects interests me. A lot.

It's so weird that they have this big feast with the turkey and stuff so close to doing it again for Christmas. Yeah, but they don't do turkey for Christmas. What do they do? They do hams. Oh, okay. The Christmas ham.

Yeah, but we, I think we're like, oh, jealous, we want turkey. So we've made turkey our Christmas thing. Oh God, we're so stupid. Most people don't do turkey for Christmas do they no yuck

yeah cause it's yuck it's a yuck mate it's dry it's dry man the only time that you can get turkeys is in winter because in summer

they're riddled with like mites and stuff yuck they'll make you sick yuck if you eat them when it's hot oh really

yeah okay in New Zealand the saying is you should only like hump if you eat them when it's hot. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. What is it? In New Zealand, the saying is you should only hump them and eat them

in the months that don't end in R. Okay. So you make your June's to your July's and your August's. Knock myself out in March. Oh, maybe March

might be a bit warmer. It's got an R in it. Oh, but this was a saying before global warming. So does July. I think you meant at the end. I think I did say at the end,

but now I've remembered if it's got an R in it. Because April is also off the... Yeah. Still too warm in April. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? 4% of people said yes, 96% said no.

We're not into it, eh? Absolute dud. Yeah. I'm a Kiwi who has just moved to the US, so it's my first Thanksgiving, says Juliet. Oh, Juliet. The concept is great.

Food, drink, and family and friends without the pressure of gifts. Okay. Yeah, nice. Because a lot more, I get the feeling in America that Thanksgiving is way more the thing you travel home for than Christmas. Yeah, it is. It is. Whereas Christmas, they'll kind of have the day off, but keep working through. Yeah, they might be like,

I'm not travelling across the country. But for some reason, everyone goes home to their hometown for Thanksgiving, whereas here, that's what you do at Christmas. And that's when the movies start, the rom-coms.

That's right. It's, you know, the big city, busy person goes home. She loses her job just before she has to go home and then her apartment. She loses her apartment. She inherits some kind of cottage. Yeah, and she meets the hot guy. She's got to renov before she has to go home and then her apartment she inherits some kind of

cottage. Yeah and she meets the hot guy the hot guy from school who still lives there. The nerd from school might have come good. Oh yeah he might have got hot. He's got a six pack now. He's had a kid but his wife died so he's heartbroken in a tragic

lumberjack accident. Turkey lumberjack accident. They should never have hired the turkey to be turkey lumberjack accident. Turkey lumberjack accident. Well, they should never have hired the turkey to be a lumberjack. Yeah, she was lumberjacking and a turkey flew in front of the axe. It was really awful and she died. The axe, what happened? The axe bounced off the turkey and went into her. They deny it for a while and then one night they go to the local pub

where she's like, oh my God, this is such a dive barn. He's like, come out for a drink. But then a song comes on and they both have flashbacks. It might be singing and dancing yeah yeah probably we just turn into dirt bags god we have just she's a bit pissed

Auditions to be held soon. Well, anyway, back to Thanksgiving, which is never going to be as great as this movie. I know. We've just sort of ruined it now. I like the thought of it, giving thanks for what we have, says Kath. That's nice, Kath. I'm English and I overeat regularly.

No need for a special day. Our big city girl needs to have a black best friend that she's met in the city. I didn't want to bring it up, but I was worried about the lack of diversity. Well, yeah, because we're not going to get the movie on. Black best friend who doesn't leave the city. She's at the start, because we're not going to get the movie on. Oh, okay. Black best friend who doesn't leave the city. She's at the start, right?

Yeah, she's on the phone being like, oh my God, come on. Glenn Powell has an adopted brother who's also black. Great. Who plays football.

Yeah. And that's, they go to watch the football game. Yeah. Then when- But he had a car accident and he's in a wheelchair.

What? Nobody can't play football if he's in a wheelchair. Nobody used to. He used to. He used to play football. So now he goes to watch the team he used in a wheelchair. What? Nobody can't play football if he's in a wheelchair. Nobody used to. He used to. He used to play football. So now he goes to watch the team he used to play for. Isn't that just Friday Night Lights?

So, yeah, 100%. Hey, don't mess with the success. That was a great show. We're borrowing from quite a few films here. So then the black friend from the city comes to convince Al Fanning to move back to the city and meets this dude and is immediately like maybe there's something here for me as well.

Yeah. And she's a physiotherapist and she makes him walk again. Oh my God. Oh wow. The day of their wedding. He walks. He gets up out of the chair

and walks down the aisle. Well that's quite amazing a physiotherapist can do that with huge spinal injuries. Yeah. And all it took was the right was love. All it took was belief in love.

Right. Belief in love. It was physiotherapy and love right okay yeah what an incredible movie okay um i would watch that that's a strong sub do we need that is a strong we need to do we need a snowman that comes alive no why are you ruining our movie i I mean, it's Hayley. We are making an Oscar. Sidebar. Can I have sidebar with just Hayley? Just Hayley. Shush, please. We are stripping him as an executive producer role. I've just heard word from Netflix. They don't want him producing.

He can walk around on set. Netflix won't buy the movie unless we have a snowman that comes to life with abs. You know what? I'm not afraid to go to Amazon Prime. I'm not afraid. They'll say yes. I'm not scared to go to Prime. And then we can hold on to our artistic integrity

of this beautiful film that we've written. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, coming, what, next year? 2026, 2025? I can't see why we can't do it this year. Okay. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Okay.

We love this time of year. The wrap-ups or the this of the year, the chance of the year, the blah blah blah. Love it. Yesterday we shared that dictionary.com's word of the year was demure. Now Australia's one, which is your favourite choice. Macquarie. Yeah, because

in the past, remember they've done some goodies and was it last year or the year before with Bachelor's Handbag, which was as Kiwi and Aussie as it gets. Indeed. Which is the roast chuck, what you call the roast chuck in the package. It's Friday. I've had two bachelor's handbags this week. Yeah.

Well, she's a busy girl. It was like, great. Not even a bachelor. No, not even a bachelor. I shared it with my partner. So they've released the word of the year. Now, Vaughan, you don't know what this is. No.

Fletcher and I were talking about it earlier. Should I give Vaughn the definition and get him to hypothesise what the word is or give him the word and get him to hypothesise? The word. Okay, the word. And then I'll guess the definition. And we'd both never heard this in use.

Yes. So Macquarie Dictionary's word of the year for 2024, inshittification. Insh shitification? Yeah. Have you ever heard of anyone? No.

I haven't seen it online. I haven't seen it in any kind of like reel or TikTok. Yeah. Any video in any article. That was quite bad.

Fication on the end? Huh. I'm imagining it's a shit version of something. Not quite. But I know. I'm imagining a shit version of something. Not quite. But I know. Intensification.

No. It is a term that taps into a widespread feeling that things are getting worse, especially in regards to the digital world. Yeah, intensification. Just like impending doom. Oh, my God. I've never heard it used. No, neither.

I'm feeling a real sense of inshittification about this. Right. Yeah. I mean, that's a great word. It feels nice on the tongue. It does, yeah. So your challenge today, if you are an adult, because there is a cuss word in there, is to slip the Macquarie 2024 word of the year

into your sentence, inshittification. God, this office is really... How would you use it? Yeah, do they give an example? Nah. Because you don't need to say the feeling of in shitification because

that's in the word, right? Yeah. That's just saying 2025's got a real in shitification about it. Yeah. Yes. Or you could... Or it's in shitifying? Could you be like things in America?ica yeah or in a real state of inshutification yeah there you go there's a sentence you could use today play zed m's fletchborn and hayley play zed m's fletchborn and hayley east coast mp dana or dana i really don't know and I apologise. I'm going to say Dana.

Dana Kirkpatrick. She is pushing... Spelling? D-A-N-A. It could be either one. Dana. I know a Dana and a Dana. I'd say Dana. I know Danas and Danas. Dana's D-A-Y-N-A is a certified Dana. No, I know a Dana who's a

D-A-N-A. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, but put a Y in. Put a Y in, certified. Well, Dana Dana, Kirkpatrick, she has added a member's bill to the ballot to overturn a law which stops people from being able to be served a glass of wine at the hairdressers. Something.

Wait, you're telling me that, like, out of all the bills they pull out to make our lives better and really fix some things. In society. In society. That this could be pulled out. Because someone wants a chardonnay while they're getting a perm. Shut up. You don't understand. I thought this was perfectly legal. This is you guys. Also

perms. I'm going to get a chardonnay while I get my perm. Everyone's getting a perm now Hayley. And then a purple rinse. Yes. So I'm going to get a Chardonnay when I get my perm. Everyone's getting a perm now Hayley. And then a purple rinse. Yes. So under the health hairdressers regulation of 1980 it is an offence to provide a drink in the service area

of a hairdressing salon or a barber. Wait I thought loads of barbers were doing like whiskeys. I've had a whisky at the barber. But they would have applied for a special license in order to be able to do that, to serve alcohol. Or just done it and like not worried about it. I've done it.

Yeah, totally. They've just done it. They've just done it. Yeah. So a lot of the hairdressers, especially in the East Coast, have been like, we did not realize this was a thing. Because I know that seems a bit much, but as the girlies know,

sometimes you're in there for four, five hours if you're doing a big blonde thing. And I love, especially when it ticks over to 5pm, they will often bring you a little glass of wine, won't they? Yeah, especially, yeah, like you say, when you're going blonde, it takes a long time. Hours. And like, yeah, I could have a coffee,

but then once you've had a coffee at the start, I don't want another coffee. Have you been somewhere where they've given you a drink while you're yeah yeah i'd say every salon when i was blonde every salon had offered it at least if i hadn't taken it but do you reckon they were doing it like on the down low i don't know like is it maybe that there are different regulations for different cities i just think they're unaware i just think they're unaware because there was a this is a is a law. This is a law. Not just a local thing. Yeah.

Oh. So they want to change this so that they would be able to serve to their clients 1.5 standard drinks. Moderation. That's moderation. I think that's called moderation. Or per session. During your whole haircut. Okay.

Because you would have driven there, right? So then you're going, okay, there you go. You could have walked. You could have walked to the saloon. Yeah, well then you'd need 1.5 bottles. If you're walking to the saloon, yeah, you're allowed more than 1.5. Someone's playing some old honky tonk piano. So they were saying this is going to fix

an age-old rule that makes our wonderful hairstylists into criminals, basically, by providing a nice service, cup of tea and a delicious glass of wine. So this is their focus. And especially when you're paying, how much do you pay? Like, how much do you pay to go blonde? Oh, my God, like $400 or $500 sometimes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's insane. Oh, my, yeah, and sometimes more. Like, it can be insane. Yeah, give me a little glass of Prosecco. Yeah, you know what you've got to say. Or get yourself a friend who's a hairdresser and you just

go to her house and you can drink as much as you want honestly best hack I've definitely because you know

my hairdresser Shari I go to her house to get it done sometimes I have to Uber home or just go bald and

drink at home actually that's a way cheaper option shave your head in the shower hop out and congratulate yourself

for not nicking yourself and bleeding which every time I shave my head I don't know about you but every time I shave my head and there's no blood I'm That's a way cheaper option. Shave your head in the shower, hop out, and congratulate yourself for not nicking yourself. Yeah. And bleeding. Which every time I shave my head, I don't know about you, but every time I shave my head and there's no blood, I'm pretty stoked. Yeah, it's a good achievement.

It's like shaving a knee. I totally understand. I'm always like, high five, girl, you did it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's the final rankings. We do this every Friday. Final rankings. We rank things.

This very day we have chosen to rank crackers you may find upon a charcuterie board. A platter of such. Like what cracker you'd use with like cheese. I'm always a wafer. The wafer crackers. Wafer. They're thin. No. Not too much. Like eating dust. Solidified

dust. Some of those crackers are like too thick and then your mouth is all like. I'm all about the oat crackers. I love those oat crackers. The little square rectangles. Yeah. The walnut. No, they're posh ones.

Oh, yeah. I'm happy to drop 10 buck on a box of crackers. Hayley Jane. When it comes to crackers. But I'll chuck a slice of Chesedale on it to make up for it. Okay, see, I'd rather have a nice cheese but a wafer cracker. I just love the parmesan oat crackers. What about those crackers?

And they've got all the different, like, flavours, like sweet chilli and... Rice crackers. Yeah, rice crackers. No, trash. A lot of people like a rice cracker. I think, like, maybe ten years ago, ten years ago, rice crackers were it. Now I'm like, oh, I'm not here for it. What about a classic, like a Vita Wheat?

Or a snack, what do they call them, snacks? Salada. Salada. I love a meal size, snack size, or bite size. Versatile salada for all the foods we love today. You can't go wrong. That's a great jingle. It's just a white cracker.

Yeah. today. You can't go wrong. It's a great jingle. It's just a white cracker. What about those ones that are like cheese flavoured and they're too much? Cheds. They're too much. Oh yeah. Cheds. Make someone literally just text in, what about cheds? Nah, too much because they take away from if you just eat those like chips,

you just eat them by themselves. They don't need any additional topping. Another message, meal mates go hard. They do. Meal mates. Meal mates go hard. That wasn't one of the good advertising campaign. Pam's does a cracker. Pam's crackers.

I know you're not a Pam's snob. Pam's got some good shit. I'm not a Pam snob. I know you're not a Pam snob. Do you know what I love? The Pam's finest, those like date seeded crackers. You know they're like hard as bloody chipboard. No I don't like those. They're like hard as rocks. It's like a biscotti. Yeah a biscotti.

No I don't like that. But a cracker. Number one for me is the oat. I am fancy and I am of a higher class. Are you? So I'll go oat number one. Then I think I'm heading to Mealmates. Is a big meal? A Mealmates this big though?

Yeah, man. Massive. You want another cheese and cracker? No, it's too big. I'm going Mealmates two. You're mad. I'm just going wafer one, wafer two, wafer three. Oh, my God.

180 degrees, darling. Too much in the mouth. No one's here vouching for Vita Wheats. They are just... Or Kruskits. Dude! I love Kruskits! I don't sleep on Kruskits!

With a bit of PB. A little bit of butter and peanut butter. Not for a charcuterie board. You don't put Kruskits on a charcuterie. How embarrassing. Just because it hasn't doesn't mean you shouldn't. Yeah. What was the one you said before that?

Vita Wheat. Yeah, like, you know... I'm familiar with the name, but I... They taste stale fresh out the pack. Like, they've got a... Yeah. Do you know what I mean? They've got a chew, but not a snap, but not a soft.

They're odd. Okay, well, what's the final ranking then? So you're going wafer one, wafer two, wafer three. You bloody basic bee. I'm going oat one. I'm going the hard, dark, cranberry filled, nut filled. Nut seed filled. Nut seed filled.

You're mad. I went to private school and I'm very proud of it. Okay. And third, I think I'm going to go Pam's, the meal mates. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because Pam's still like a playing cracker too. Yeah, meal mate kind of. Like a wafer one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Late entrant, late runner. Okay. Coming up, leading the back from behind, a Riveda. Riveda. A Riveda. Get out. What are you, like a boomer trying to lose weight? No, I'm just good.

What is happening? He's had a little margarine on him. No, cottage cheese. Cottage cheese. Cottage cheese. Yeah. Margarine. And a little sliver of tomato.

My mum won't eat avocado because she said it's too high in fat. But she'll let him. Margarine. She'll let margarine in. How many points in your weight watchers log is that? It's just not enough for me. Okay, Vaughan, what are your rankings? At number three is animal cracker.

Okay. Oh, get out. That is a cookie. That is a biscuit. That's a biscuit. That's a biscuit. That's qualified. What about just primarily because all it's there to do

is to be dipped in a chutney and have some cheese slapped on top. Those water wafers. Yeah, that's what he's talking about. That's what I'm talking about. The wafers. The water crackers. Yeah, they're the same thing. Same thing. Third place. Who's eating a cracker with the name water in it?

I know, but that's the one. It's so empty. It's void. Why is it called a water biscuit? I don't know. That's probably maybe how it's cooked. I don't know. That would completely hypothesise. I have nothing to base that on. Ew.

Second is, what was your second? Oat. No, oat's my number one. Yeah, oat's number one, babe. Two, I'm missing. Two, I went the big hard discs with the cranberries and the nuts in it. What's your third? Because it was one of the ones you said.

Mealmate. That's my second. Okay. So we agree it goes oats, and then it would be mealmates. And then wafer. And then maybe water cracker, wafer. Yeah, good stuff. Water cracker.

Great. That was a healthy debate. Holy moly, the text machine has never popped off so hard on a Friday rankings. Somebody said, this after your rom-com, I don't know what's next. What a show. What a show. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I am considering making

quite an adult purchase today. Now, have you never done this before? Never. So you've always just had sort of rough crap ones lying around? Yeah. I've decided today, Vaughan, I'm going to buy some adult proper scissors. Never. So you've always just had sort of rough crap ones lying around. Yeah, yeah. I've decided today, Vaughan, I'm going to buy some adult proper scissors. Yes. Some adult sharp, you know, really good scissors.

I don't know. What brand? He's been looking around. I don't even know. I don't even know where you buy good scissors from. When it comes to blades, Fisker's good. You need to go. I've bought even know. I don't even know where do you buy good scissors from. When it comes to blades, Fisk is good. You need to go, I've bought this year actually, I bought a pair of left handed

fabric scissors from a craft store called Molly's. Well do you reckon Briscoe's, because they'll be black kitchen scissors. I want like, okay so this is, yeah spotlight so this is why, because I I want like, okay. So, this is... Yeah, spotlight.

So, this is why, because I've got like a lot of physio strapping tape on my knee at the moment. He's in rehabilitation. I'm in rehab, guys. Oh, Victor Knox. Victor Knox. Oh, that's the apple knife.

Yes. The other blades, actually. Fiskar, I'm sorry. Friday rankings. Blades. Fiskar's now second. Blades. Join us next week for Friday rankings. Blades. So, and's now second. Blades. Join us next week for Friday rankings.

Just kitchen scissors. Yeah, totally. They're good for like opening a packet of something. Totally. You know, cutting paper. Cutting a little string. Exactly. They're fine for that.

But so I'm finding that it's kind of, it's not, they're not working on the fabric. Because it's not their intention. So I decided, you know what? You're a growing man. Vaughan, those are $76. No, $67. $67. $50.

Well, that's way better. But look at them. They look good. They're heavy. You know when you go to a fabric store And you say Can I get a yard Of this please A yard

What are you In the 1800s I'm in the fantasy Are you still Imperial measurements I need 1.5 metres Of this And I pull it across

And they go That's far more Than a yard Yeah Against the table Mum sewing scissors Yeah And you get them out

Especially this time of year Because mum sewing scissors Also got to glide Through wrapping paper Oh yeah But when you use them On paper Your this time of year, because mum's sewing scissors also got to glide through wrapping paper. Oh, yeah. But when you use them on paper, your mum would be like, don't you dare. Yeah, yeah, you get smacked. We used it to cut cardboard.

I know. It was always so much trouble. Did you ever use mum's sewing scissors when she wasn't home? All the time. Yeah, same. All the time. If she wasn't there, I can picture exactly where it was. It was a tall boy dresser in the middle drawer.

In the top, there was undies and socks drawers either side. And there was a big, deep drawer in the middle. And that was where the sewing thing was. Crafts. And that was why. The scissors were always in the back of there. And you'd sneak in, you'd open it, and you'd get the scissors out. You'd be like, here we go.

Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip. Oh, my gosh. And you were just using those to cut out Jonathan Taylor Thomas out of the TV hits. Oh my God. Heart throb. Yeah. Heart throb.

Okay. I'm going to sell you on these scissors. Tell you what, ladies and gentlemen, if you would like a link to it, text scissors to 9696. And so I will send you back the link so you can see the picture of the scissors I'm describing. Producer Carlin's looking at you being like, I'm not doing that.

You're doing the admin board. I'll do it. Okay, but I just, I don't know if I want to spend that much because I was looking online and you can get some alright scissors for $30. No. And that seems reasonable. Maybe a Black Friday sale.

He needs to consider. We're scissoring for life. I know, but how often are you using... Scissors are for life. We're scissor sisters. Yes, there's my first text. Someone wants the scissors link. How often great, you do with the admin, how often are you going to use these? You need to use strapping tape?

We don't parent like this anymore. Got mum's scissors out, accidentally cut a hole in the back of the couch, as you do. She found out, grabbed my hair and threatened to cut it off. Back when parents would be able to... No, I thought you were going to say back when parents would cut their kids' hair off for doing

something like that. Have you guys heard about the Korean barbecue scissors? Yes. No. What do you mean? When you've got a Korean barbecue, they don't come and slice it on a chopping board, but they just grab the meat and go, chop, chop, chop, chop. What do they wash them?

Because I notice at Yum Cha, they'll be like, do you want any of these vegetarian spring rolls? And you're like, yeah. And they're like, do you want them to breathe? And they scissor them in half. Yes. Scissor it. But those aren't, those would be good kitchen scissors.

No, we don't need kitchen scissors. You want fabric scissors. Yeah, fabric scissors. Okay, I'll definitely want some of these. Okay, well, I think today's the day I become an adult. Can you buy them and bring them in and we'll just bring in some material? No, don't be silly because if I'm going to buy good scissors, no one else will be using them.

I will be like my mum and not letting... Oh my God, I don't need to use your bloody fabric scissors. You'll have to ask me for permission. What if I need to trim a shirt? Oh, it's good stuff, isn't it? Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's

Fletchborn and Hayley. Hard to tell if you should be proud or pissed off if your sibling did this to you. So, what's his name? Hang on. Brother. Brother. Peter.

Hey, brother. Hey, we're at your side. Brother. What did we say? Oh, no. Not for on-air. Anyway, so Peter Park, very close to Peter Parker, he held the record for the youngest person ever

to pass the California bar. Meaning? Four years old. No, no, a bit older than that. That's sort of ridiculous. Don't be silly. This is a serious journalism show. At 17 years and 11 months of age age he passed the bar. So that's

four years of law school and then at the end you pass the bar which means that you're allowed to go and become a lawyer. While most of your peers are just finishing high school. Doing dumb, dumb shit. That is insane. So that's Peter, right?

At 17 years and 11 months of age, he passed the bar. Getting the record for the youngest person to ever pass the California bar. Now he has lost that record to none other than Sophia Park, his sister, who has just become the youngest

person to pass the California State Bar Exam at 17 years and 8 months of age. Wow. Now, as that time was ticking on, right? At that time, do you reckon she was like, oh my God, I've got three months. Is there like anything she could have done? Was it just the fact that she might've been born

at a different time, so she managed to finish school a little bit earlier than him? That then meant she could start? I'm not sure. She just- You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She, they were both like, you know,

soared through high school, basically. And then got advanced like this. So at the age of 13, she went, began law school. 13. That is insane. I know. While simultaneously attending junior school. But she went to like a school for the gifted.

Yeah. Then she graduated high school. I did too, actually. After passing. I think you're confused about what she's achieved. Yeah. At what age. You couldn't have done that.

13 hours a night, man. Now you're incapable. Even now. You're not wrong. You can do that. You can do that. Yeah. You're not wrong. Two of you couldn. You can do that. Yeah. You're not wrong.

Two of you couldn't work together to get it. Yeah. Even three of you would be a struggle because you'd start fighting. Three of you and one of you has got the answers.

Yeah. You're still not getting it done. Still not getting it done. So she passed the bar exam and then got immediately hired by a law clerk. You know, just being like,

well, you're a genius. Like, if this is how fast you've done this. But the sibling rivalry, I mean, he held this record. And then she's been in there, beaten by three months. Now, he has come out being like, no, I'm just incredibly proud. But inside, you'd be like, you're beyond. And she's probably the favourite now because she's got the record. Yeah, I know.

But do you have a sibling rivalry? My brother and I are quite close in age. So growing up, we were always super competitive. Yeah. He's like 15 months older than me. Do the maths on that. Six months old, he was when my mother and father decided. They were like, try again.

This one's a dud. We better make another one. Yeah, let's have another go. And then they were like, wow, we're struck perfection. The next one could only be better. And then they got another dud. So, I mean, that must be hard for them. No, because they tried again. My parents had me and then went like, no, that's it. As if we do better than that.

They weren't addicted to perfection. No, they had Sam and then they went, oh, okay. And then had me and went, this is a kid. I think they were like, this one's going to be a lot. Yeah. We better stop now. We daren't also give it middle child status. God, yeah.

Imagine if you were a middle child. You'd be intolerable. Oh, my God. I know I'm barely tolerable now. Barely. Barely by the skin of my teeth. Barely. This is what we want to-

Me and my brother didn't have rivalry, but I studied music from like six to 18 or something, and I was always the musician of the family. And then my brother was one day like, I think I might want to be a musician. And then was so good at it and became a musician as his career. And I remember being like,

that was sort of my trajectory. That's sort of what I was doing, dude. But I was, you know, it wasn't so much of a rivalry. Because you're close with your brother. I authentically love him. Yeah, and I miss him. I look forward to spending time with him.

That's so weird. That's so weird. Okay, this is what we want to know this spending time with him. That's so weird. That's so weird. So weird. Okay, this is what we want to know this morning. 0800 DALS at M. You can text through 9696. Do you have a sibling rivalry, current or old? What was it about?

How vicious and bad was it? How vicious, yeah. And maybe even caused like a lifelong rift. Yeah. Couldn't get over it. Give us a call. 0800 DALS at M. 9696.

Tell us about your sibling rivalry. Coco, you and your sister have quite a sibling rivalry or had one. Yes, we do. Okay. Yeah, so we used to do cheerleading. Okay. And we had this big competition the next day. And the night before, or like two days before, she got appendicitis.

So she was in hospital for the competition. You win then, you win. I took her position as the middle flyer in the middle of the period, I mean the pyramid and yeah and so I took all the like the fame you know when you'd like stand on

one leg. Yeah man. You're in hospital. Yeah. Did she recover from it? Was she like, okay, thank you, I'm proud of you? She was fine. Yeah, she was fine, but she got lots of presents, so I got jealous after that.

Oh, gosh. Yeah. But you got to fly. You got to, you were on the top of the pyramid. Exactly, I know. Yeah. She was lying in a... I had to turn the next time around, so it's okay,

but I took my moment of fame. Yeah, hell yeah. Who ended up being the better cheerleader, though? Unfortunately, her. Oh. Yeah, she was always a bit better than I was. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm so sorry.

I know, I know. You suck at cheerleading. You've got your appendix, you know? Yeah. I know. I know. She's missing a body part, but... Should you need that primal organ to digest grasses and other greens,

you've got it, she doesn't. Exactly. Coco, thank you. Jess, what's your sibling rivalry like? Oh, my God. If they're listening right now, I'm going to be in big trouble. Oh, okay. Okay.

So my brother and sister have always had this destination in our family that they absolutely love. My brother has it tattooed on his arm, but my sister, she's always dreamed of getting married there. Okay. So my brother got engaged first. Yeah. And then he planned his wedding at that destination and didn't tell my sister about it. Oh. And she was livid.

Oh, God. Like, she's planned it. And her wedding is in March, and their wedding was livid. Like she's painted, and her wedding is in March and their wedding was in October. Oh God. Oh no. Anybody else dying to know the location? I can't say because I will get

some serious. Okay. Is this happening, the wedding was just in October just gone and the next one's this March? Yes. Oh wow okay. And how's the dust settling on that rivalry? Oh it's not. Oh!

It's meltdown on the wedding day over the fact that you know the wedding destination had been stolen and she was angry as I'm going to just keep out of this one. Yeah. And so,

how exciting is Christmas going to be for you? Oh, it's going to be very awkward. I think I might be busy on that day. And she gets to see Can I have some liquor,

I think? She gets to see what he did at the wedding, what she'd do differently. She can use it as a training exercise sort of thing. He's stolen her dream.

I don't know if this will ever settle. Really? Amazing, Jess. Great story, Jess. Thank you for sharing. Keep your texts coming in 9696. Harmony, it doesn't appear there's a lot of harmony between you and your sister.

Well, I've got three sisters. Oh, okay. Four girls and a little brother, but my sisters all got a sister tattoo. We all talked about it. We were all going to get it, but I didn't live in the same town as them, so they all went together and got it, and the weekend that I was with them, they all said, okay, now we'll take you, and I was like, oh, nah.

I don't want to get it. Because it's the event, right? Getting it is the event. Well, that's what I thought. But then they threatened to remove, get the tattoo removed. And then the two that came to my wedding in Canada last year got a little tattoo over there and then threatened again to have my birth date removed off their sister.

Oh, wait. So what is the sister tattoo? Does it say sisters and then it's got all your birthdays? No, it's just got our birth dates in Roman numerals. Oh, yeah, so what is the sister tattoo? Does it say sisters and then it's got all your birthdays? No, it's just got our birthdates in Roman numerals. Oh, yeah, nice. So each one is a little bit different because we don't have our own date on there. But also, I'm a middle child, so it would look stupid on them if...

They took out the middle and birthdate. Yeah, I love that you could threaten that, be like, it's going to look pretty dumb. Your tattoo's going to look dumb. And it's going to really hurt. Brilliant, Harmony. Also, pretty shit that the brother wasn't invited to just have the Roman numerals. The brother didn't get a tattoo?

Oh, we know. We've heard about that too. You touched on a sore point. Oh, wow, Harmony. Oh, we have bloody heard about that. You can imagine mum getting involved, eh? Yeah. I've just been speaking to your brother.

Now, he's quite upset. Girls, he didn't want me to make a big deal out of it, but I just feel like you've left him out again. How do you think it was, growing up being the only boy in this team? Harmony, thank you. Some messages in. I thought I'd done pretty well

when I got 95% in school certificate maths. Oh, yeah. Then my younger sister got 97%. Then I got a Proxima C-set. You know, like the backup to ducks. Oh, yeah. Like second best. Yeah, second best.

And my sister got ducks. Your sister's just smarter than you by the sounds. Yeah, I hate to break it to you. But you're the dud. Yeah. When it comes to maths. People are still holding on to these as well. At school, I played way more tennis

always played tennis than my older brother but whenever we played together he would always beat me. I still play tennis now and it's my secret fear that if we played now he'd still beat me. I'm 49. We're just gonna move on. We're gonna let it go. Yeah. I have a 14 year old, an 8 year old and a 7 year old. Now there's

a big issue between the older two and the youngest one because this kid is the youngest, and he's good at sports the first time he tries them. Oh, yeah. And as a 7-year-old has beaten the older kids at their own sports. They're banned from sports they play because they don't want him to be better. Yeah.

Worst part is he knows he's good. He's a cocky little prick. Yeah, that's the pits. Current sibling rivalry, my sister is more successful, richer, better looking, emotionally stable. But I'm way funnier, so it's neck and neck. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. It's Bourne's pick for Friday Flashback today.

Yes, it is. This is just a good song. You're so right. This is a banger. The year was 2005. It's from an album called The Cookbook. You know me. I love my podcast.

It's the songs that explain the 90s and they're doing the 2000s now. And Rob Havala, the host, loves him some Missy Elliott. She's the first artist that he's done in both seasons. Oh, yeah. The 90s and the 2000s. Super Fly was the one from the 90s. He didn't do this Missy Elliott song. But the one he did, we play it quite a lot.

I think it's a Friday James regular. We're a cat. So I was looking for some other Missy Elliot To tap into I found this one And it features our dearly departed friend Recently departed That's good That's right

Who would always come over for the Friday Jams live That was a few months ago Remember that And Ciara Who I know Bravo Well done to mum and dad.

God kissed you. Because that is a sensationally good looking woman. Talented. We're very, very talented. Talented. And married to Russell. Married to Russell. From Wilson.

Norman. No. Wilson. Brand? Pittsburgh. Quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh, right. Okay.

Of course. That Russell. The NFL. Big name in the NFL. Russell Wilson. Oh, right. Okay. Of course. That Russell. The NFL. Big name in the NFL, Russell Wilson. Oh, of course. Russell Wilson. But anyway, we're not here to talk about Russell Wilson and his extremely good looking wife. We're here to play you a banger and here it is.

It's your Friday Flashback on ZM. It's Missy Elliott, your Friday flashback on ZM, and she's been announced for the line-up as well for next year's Coachella. Oh, my God, I love it. From 2005. 2005, yeah, 20 years later. That music actually genuinely made us lose control just now. We did, we did.

We enjoyed that. We lost control. We enjoyed that a lot. Good feedback. We had one of those songs too, weirdly, the lyrics that are in the recess of the brain. Yeah, it just came out. And they'll a lot. Good feedback. We had one of those songs too, weirdly, the lyrics that are in this recess of the brain. Yeah, it just came out. And they'll pop out. Yeah.

Mr. Mentor in the house. Banger, taking a moment to be a club rat in my car before I walk into my office to be a respectable deputy principal. Now, it is weird that you look at principals and you think, once upon a time they were a club rat. Yeah. We were all club rats. In the early 2000s, we were a club rat. Yeah. We were all club rats.

In the early 2000s, we were all club rats. I would say it is 99.9% positive messages. There was one message I'd like to read, only because I think it's funny. The postman just threw the Christmas package over the fence and it landed in the pool. So many better Missy songs you could have picked. I'm not saying it's the best Missy song, but it's a banger. No, no, yeah, it's a banger. And it was... I love that song. I think we play a lot of the best Missy song, but it's a banger. No, no, yeah, it's a banger. And it was...

I love that song. I think we play a lot of the other Missy Elliott songs more regularly. Yeah, so... I just think everybody here, get out of control. Yeah. Get your backs off the wall, because Mr. Mina said so. Everybody step, step. Everybody keep on step.

Stop. Stop. Now, yesterday I... I should be more tired, but I'm having a great time with my friends, my genuine friends, and I think you can hear it. I think that comes through. I think you can hear it. I think the genuine friendship comes through on the radio. I think people can genuinely sense that we're genuine friends. Yeah, I think when you're listening, you'll be like, what is that

magic? It's genuine friendship. But I have had three hours sleep because yesterday I performed in Hamilton with the Seven Days Live Tour. Tomorrow's our last show. In Vikargal tomorrow? In Vikargal tomorrow.

Hamilton last night. Man, we've got some ZM fans there. Even Justine Smith was like, you've got some crazy fans in the audience. The biggest ZM listeners. I was like, thank you. Well, Justine, that's the power of radio. It's our genuine friendship. I was like, thank you. Well, Justin, that's the power of radio. Yeah. It's our genuine friendship. Now,

I think you can hear it. I think what you're hearing there, it's the genuine friendship. On the way home though, because I left Hamilton maybe half past 10 to head home and mama got hungry.

Mama needed some nonnies. Okay. Yeah. So when you, when Hamilton, when the Waikato Espresso, I think it's pronounced Espresso. Espresso way.

You're saying the X, it's not, it's an Espresso way. The Espresso way. Espresso way. Wine is an Espresso way. Yeah, it's Italian. You can go 110 kilometres

on the Espresso way. You can go 110 because it's Italian. Yep. When that ends, there was a diversion and it made me laugh about New Zealanders.

It diverted us all through that stop that has petrol and McDonald's and everything. I was like, New Zealand's so small, a whole state highway

is going through a petrol station past a nonny's. Or not past a nonny's if you may because I realised I was hungry. Yeah.

So I pulled in and I had a friend with me and Shari with me and so we pulled into nonny's and I got some burgers. Yep. So I pulled in and I had a friend with me, I had Shari with me. And so we pulled into Nonny's and I got some burgers. Yep. Some bedtime nuggies? Did you get some bedtime nuggies?

No, because I was driving. Oh, okay. I had to be car friendly. What was your car friendly burger of choice? You know I love a filet-o-fish. I didn't. You didn't? I didn't.

Okay, good. Even if I'm in a hurry and I'm driving, I will always, I don't want to drive and eat. I don't like it. I'll just rather eat quick. I know, but. And then get on the road. I'm, it's so late.

Yeah. And I already, you know, I've got to get up at four. I was just like, no, I just need to grab and go through the drive-thru. You're going to one-hand her a burger. I'm going to one-hand a burger or two. I got a cheesy B. Yeah.

Which I love to start with. Nice, easy. It's an entree. A cheesy B is an entree. No, you treat it's an entree. A cheesy B is an entree. You treat it like an entree rather than a secondary burger. It's my secondary burger, but I have it first like an hors d'oeuvre. So I had my cheesy B and I had a McChicken, just classic. But the way, you know, when you open the McChicken,

you've got to make sure you've got to get like that and all the lettuce is in there like that. It's McDonald's most lettuce heavy burger. Yeah, it is. Shredded. I absolutely adore it I went like this I'm not talking about this Because they're a show sponsor

I genuinely Love a McChicken And then I held it Like this I think it comes across In your voice And I think what you're hearing Is my authentic

Adoration for the McChicken Yeah That's what you're hearing Is authenticity With Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley And I picked it up And I was just driving One handed like this.

Shari's talking to me like this. You're undiverted. You're back on the espresso. So you divert. We diverted for a little bit. Okay. To this like back road behind Drury and then came back out.

There was lots of diversions. I'll say it. The motorway's a mess at the moment. National. National. I know. Too busy fixing potholes every single day. The highway's absolutely screwed.

Simeon Brown. Yeah, Simeon Brown. That young fellow. Yeah. I thought she was a young woman. Simone. Simone Brown. Yeah, that's right. Promise me.

So I'm eating this burger like this, da-da-da-da, driving along, and I don't realise, and I've just enjoyed my burger. And then Shari, who's been talking along, was like, da-da-da-da, and she looks at me, she was like, what? Like, clean yourself burger. And then Shari, who's been talking along, was like, da-da-da-da. She looks at me, she was like, what?

Like, clean yourself up. And I looked down, and I had five massive mayo slops. Not one, you multiple slops. Five whopping mayo slops. And I didn't even, I was so invested in the burger and the driving and the conversation and the music

that I had just absolutely had a full mayo slop. In fact, I don't even know if any of it got in my mouth. But it's the end of the day. I don't mind a slop at the end of the day. I'll live with it. I know. Because those clothes are going in the wash. Well, did they?

Well, the skirt I'm wearing was the skirt I was wearing. But you had to change the top. I had to change the top. But this is a slight, I can see some mayo slop on the skirt. That's what that is, on the skirt. That's mayo slop. Yeah, right. It is.

And also, if you have been looking at me all morning and wondering why she got so much glitter on her eyes for a morning workplace, what I decided when I got home, it was about 12.30 and the alarm goes off at 4.20, I was like, I'll just not take my makeup off and I'll just rest the head back like that and just open my eyes four hours later

and was like, she's ready to go to work. She's a party animal. I got two faces for the price of one. Is that a life hack? Yeah, life hack. Don't wash your face. Yeah, makeup before bed. Yeah, makeup before bed.

Wake up, look slept in. It's nice. Save time in the morning. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Now, I'm the first to say I'm not really a massive fan of AI. I don't love the chat GPT and stuff. Yeah, I use it a little bit.

Vaughan, you're a big user of it. Oh, yeah, it's really interesting. Yeah, it is. I just, I don't know, a little bit. I'm a bit old school like that. Do you know what I mean? I'm a bit old school. I hate that, but anyway.

But I saw this on TikTok and I was like, this is genius. And I've never thought of doing this. We've talked a little bit about AI curating great itineraries for trips. Like, hey, AI, I'm heading to Rome. Build me a three-day itinerary on a budget. It's pretty good. And it's pretty good at doing that. So good.

Or like something unexpected or don't take me to the popular places. Very good. I'd probably use that next time I went overseas. Here's another one on TikTok. The woman shared, this woman shared, she goes to a restaurant, takes a photo of the menu, uploads it to ChatGPT or whatever AI she's using, and says, choose me what to eat based on online reviews.

Oh. So if the restaurant does a good dish, like they're famous for like one of their dishes or a couple, it'll recommend those based on the reviews.

All of the reviews being like, oh, you must try the da-da-da-da. So they're on TripAdvisor and all that and Yelp and everything. Do you need to take a, do you need to take a photo

of the menu? Could you not just be like based on what you know about this restaurant tell me what I should order. Probably. Yeah. I mean that's just the way she did it

and she said it ordered her the best meal she's had in her life. Because you know if you go to a place and you're like I don't know all the food looks so good it would go through

and find out people saying this is the best meal. Say, for example, you were going to an Indian restaurant. Is it just going to give you the butter chicken? Because that's what everybody orders. Are you upset? I'm not upset about that.

But do you know what I mean? Like, it would be the most. It wouldn't be, but it's not based on the most ordered. Right. It's what the reviews are saying. Like, you've got to try this. Or like, this is its top dish. Or people that have written about certain meals. It'll go the most ordered. Right. It's what the reviews are saying, like, you've got to try this, or like this is its top dish, or people that have written about certain meals.

It'll go through it all. It's doing it. Okay, so what did you do? It's doing it. I said, because, you know, we've been talking about this Lebanese restaurant that won the award. Oh, yes. It was the Viva's Top Jemezi Street.

And then I said, yeah, okay. We're going to have to go one year. We're running out of time. That was Viva's top restaurant in Auckland this year. Based on the reviews you can find about Jemaisy Street, apologies, the restaurant in Auckland, can you recommend what I should order when I go there? And did it do it? Yep.

It says, firstly, the hummus and bubble ganoush. I mean, of course. These are two dishes. These two dips are often recommended as a starting point. The hummus is smooth and creamy, while the smoky eggplant dip offers a great balance of flavours. The falafel. The falafel is often praised for being crispy on the outside,

fluffy on the inside and full of flavour. It's a must try for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. You've got to have fluffy falafel. Lamb or chicken shawarma. Shawarma is a classic Middle Eastern street food and their version gets lots of positive feedback for its tender, flavourful meat and it's a cutting, tangy, fresh topping.

This is good. This is great. Then the Lebanese flatbread. Why? Because it recommends it and then tells you why it's recommending it. This is a traditional dish, essentially flatbread that's filled with all the

kebabs, the fattoush salad, the saffron rice, the baklava or the ganeth for the sweets. It works, it works, doesn't it? It works. And it even says what drinks you should get, like accompanying drinks. This is great. Use this.

Good hack, good hack. Next time you go to a restaurant, if you can't decide, do this. I honestly didn't expect it because last, remember when we were using AI and you'd ask it about something modern and it would say, sorry, I've only got access to like up to 2020. But it's constantly updating. It's constantly updating, yeah. Very, very smart. Play ZM's updating. It's constantly updating, yeah. And now it's constantly updating now.

Very, very smart. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's been Scramble Week here at Fact of the Day. Sure has, mate. Learned all sorts of things about the tile word game. Today I'm going to tell you the Scrabble word that would win you a game of Scrabble automatically, but it's never been played in a Scrabble tournament. So it's going to be all the letters from your rack.

Yeah. And you've got to land it on a triple, right? You've got to land, if you landed this on a triple, you'd be smoking it. Yeah. Because if you use all the letters on your rack, all seven of them, you get a plus 50. Do you?

Yeah. So if you were to use all your tiles and then that's your word, so it would be an eight-letter word because you've put seven and you've attached it to one, then you get that word's score with all of it added up plus 50. Plus 50. Yeah. Oh, wow.

Cool, eh? I didn't know that. Yeah. I don't like playing Scrabble for the points. Oh. Were you just doing lol words? Oh, he dumb. No, I just do it without keeping score.

He just liked making words like cat. Just word for word for word for word until we run out of words. You would eat my dust, mate. I know I would because we weren't allowed to play competitive board games growing up because it wasn't even a fight. Fair enough. Yeah, yeah, tantrums. Like proper fights.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, fists. I think Monopoly got confiscated at one point. Oh, yeah, Monopoly gets teens. Are you making me mortgage all my properties? Yeah, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? And then sometimes it was just best to stay in jail. Yeah.

Because you were in so much trouble because you earned so few points on the deck. If you could just stay in jail forever you would outlast everybody. Do you want to roll doubles to get out? No, stay here. I'll just stay here for three turns. Stay in here for as long

as I can. We had a game called Holiday and that was the one that didn't cause fights so that was the one we were allowed to play. We would fight over anything. Yeah.

We had a game where you flicked a marble up a track and the idea was you had to flick it at different speeds every time because there was

three little cars up the top and the marble would push the car down. Oh different speeds every time because there was three little cars up the top and the marble would push the car down. Oh yeah. And then you'd take the marble out and put it in.

That caused fights. Yeah, I bet. Because you flick it and you'd be like, who are you moving the board too much? I can't even move my marble.

Who's cheating? Did you board game with your brother? Oh, it would be the same. Yeah, yeah. It would be the same. Everything ended in fights. So bad.

Well, if you played Scrabble and you could somehow get on the board, oxy, fin, butter zone, you would score 1,778 points. 1,778 points. To get a word that long, are you crossing through multiple other words? The setup would involve crossing through multiple words and zone kind of already being on the board to tag on the front of.

It's potentially the highest scoring possible word under American Scrabble rules. Dan Stock of Ohio, he calculates how you would get it. So it's never been played in a tournament and probably never will be because just the combination of luck to get this out. That someone's put zone with an emptiness around it. And that people even know that it's even a word.

I'd never heard that word before. Say the word again. I asked ChatGP to spell it out phonetically for me, so I've just got to go back there for a second. Oh, he does. Oh, he does. Oxyfenbutazone. Oxyfenbutazone. Yeah, butazone. Oxyfenbutazone. Oxyfenbutazone.

Yeah, butazone. Oxyfenbutazone. It sounds like a pill. And what does it mean? Is it a pill? It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Oh, great. Love anti-inflammatories.

It's an anti-inflamm. So it's recognised. If you could get it played, it has to be played across three triple word score squares and built on eight already played and perfectly positioned tile along with precise words going the other direction.

For example, if pacifying gets the zero in front and becomes opacifying, rainwashing gets the B and becomes brainwashing. Yeah, I've done that before. I love it when you've got an S and you get on a word and you just put an S on the end

we play no plurals oh I thought no plurals was a Scrabble rule hell no not in my fight are you allowed to make words

plurals of course you are in Scrabble of course you are and I add Z to things because I'm cool because you want to make it

like hip and modern. In the 90s. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seeing as I grew up in the 90s, I had Z. So it's like shred is there and you put a Z on it. It's like shreds. Fat, I'll use P-H's.

Yeah, yeah, man. P-H-A-T is acceptable. It's a different type of fat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, man. One of these arguments is, my friend tried to turn sheep into sheeps on Scrabble. Okay, well, that's not a real word.

And then they go into the fact that it has to be pluralisable. Okay, so today's fact of the day is if you want to score 1,778 points and absolutely smoke anyone in a game of Scrabble, the highest possible score you can get, you need to be able to play. Open up the chat GPT window and tell me how to say that. He's forgotten how to say the hard word. Oxyfen butazone. Yeah.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. We want to know what is the You alright my darling? I'm joking Well darling don't die Get some water please It can't just be Fletch

and Hayley There needs to be a third You good? Yeah I'm back Okay There's a great article 13 men share the things that they never really knew about women

until they had a girlfriend. They range from things like periods, the sheer scale of pain that comes along with them. Yeah. Emotional intelligence, how much their hair sheds. God, we lay it around everywhere, don't we? Yeah, you sure do. Yeah.

Our shower preferences. My wife's shower seems permanently set to scolding. Washing the dishes, scolding. I'm the hot shower in Aaron. So is Aaron. When we dump, because we've got the double shower, that's our romantic time together. I'll hop under his and I'll be like, oh, awful.

But it's just like little simple things that you're like, what the hell is this? We were chatting about it before the show. And we were like, oh my god, this goes always. And, Carwen, was it you or Shannon who brought up, Shannon was like, like I didn't realise how much men twitch

just before they fall asleep. Just before they fall asleep. And you'll be drifting off. And then you get... I thought that was a... It's men. It's just men. And then you'll be like, and they'll be like, what?

Yeah. What do you mean? The worst is when, because when Aaron Spoons, he's quite a big man, he goes like this and he'll always come up under and he's got a hand on the boob, right?

That's a nice place to put your hand. And then he'll be falling asleep and he just goes, boom! And I'll be like... Twitch in the grass. Right on the tete. Yeah, and then they'll be like, what do you mean?

I wasn't even asleep. And I'm like, well, who punched me? It always happens when you're drifting off to sleep and then they'll be like, what do you mean? I wasn't even asleep. And I'm like, well, who punched me? It always happens when you're drifting off to sleep and then you go, the devil himself is trying to grab your soul. I thought,

is it just a man thing? I thought that was universal. No. I think it's just men. I've seen Sade do it. Not as much as you. Do we do it more regularly? Almost every night.

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Is it like punishment because you don't get cramps or something? Hypnic jerks is what they're called. You're a hypnic jerk.

That was my Rockless fan too. What's up with hypnic jerks? Hypnic jerks. We played sort of third wave scar. Yeah, I love that. It's when you fall asleep. It's suspected that a misfire sometimes occurs between the nerves and the reticular brain stem.

Well, that's not what someone told me at Intermediate. They told me it was the devil grabbing at my soul and if he got it, I'd die and go to hell. That's Catholic high schoolers for you. And then I just never slept again. Jeepers. But I think when you come to live with the opposite sex, maybe it's not even a partner.

It could be like a flatmate. The first time as a young man from an all-boys school and you went out flatting and suddenly you're living with women, you're like, what? What are those things that you didn't know about the opposite sex until you were with one of them and you lived with one of them? And you went, oh, my God, that is... This is crazy.

That's a bizarre thing. Because we're mysteries to each other. What about when you first moved in with your now wife? I can't remember. It was a long time ago. Just period stuff, that was always really interesting because you kind of learnt the intro. You did sort of an intro to periods at high school, didn't you?

You learnt the basics. When men figure out that we've got three holes, not two. Okay, that blew my mind. When you go for a wee, do you take out your tampon? No, my dude, there's a third one. There's a third one, my dude. You know what? There is a guy listening right now trying to suppress his surprise

at learning that there's three holes. He's driving along being like, yeah, duh, yeah, duh. One's the bum hole, right? One's the bum hole. Okay, good. Phew, because I thought for a moment I was just like, that's not the surprise hole. I thought you were going to be like this. Someone just texted, wait, what? One's the bum hole. Okay, good. Phew, because I thought for a moment I was just like, that's not the surprise hole. I thought you were going to be like this. Someone just text, wait, what?

There's three. I thought you were going to be like there's three and then the bum. And I was like, wait a minute. No, there's the bum hole. There's the urethra and there's the vagina. Those are three separate things. Yeah, see? We knew that all along. So I didn't. Here's someone texting, I didn't know that boys didn't use toilet paper when they pee.

They just shake it. Nah, well that depends. You just shake it. There's two schools of thought there. Shake or a dab. Someone said, it stunned me. Okay, this is what we want to know this morning. 0800 Giles at M, call us now, text through 9696. What surprised you about the opposite sex?

Give us a call. We want to know what you didn't realise or know about the opposite sex? Give us a call. We want to know what you didn't realise or know about the opposite sex. Perhaps until you lived with one or you got together with one. Yeah, some incredible messages coming through. Connor, good morning. Morning.

Morning. What did you not realise about females? Bloody mirrors. Tony, we need to be able to see ourselves to look this good. Everywhere. Oh, right. So be able to see ourselves to look this good. Everywhere. Oh, right. So you're saying they want mirrors everywhere.

Yes. I've been trying to say this, Connor, to Aaron. I've been like, we've got a mirror here. You've got the mirror in the wardrobe in the bathroom. I was like, yeah, but this room needs one, and then I'll need one here for there, and maybe by the front door, and as we leave here, and this will make the room look bigger.

We need mirrors everywhere. One in the handbag, one in the car. Yep. Everywhere. Do you like looking at us, Connor? Yes. Yeah, Connor. Connor, I don't mind a bit of a gawk.

Yeah. Did you know about the three holes? I'm not going to look at you through a mirror. No. Connor, no. Connor, thank you. We do love mirrors. Patrick, good morning. Patrick, did you know about the three holes?

Kind of. I thought that girls were always able to lactate. Wait, you didn't hit it? You just thought it was milk on tap. Yeah, I thought it was kind of

like a spider with this web that it was always ready to go. Patrick, for a start, in my limited dealings with women, never compare one

to a spider. Also, I want to say, Patrick, so brave. Thank you for calling up and admitting that you thought that we could all lactate even if we didn't have children.

I figured it out with cows because I figured out that with cows they could only lactate once they had their baby cows. Yeah, and then you just keep milking them until it's time to get them in calf again. Yeah. But the calf is required.

I hope you, Patrick, didn't try to milk a woman who didn't have children. No, no, no. You're in the bedroom and you're like, didn't try to milk a woman who didn't have a job. No, no, no, no. You're in the bedroom, you're like, what are you doing? Too much, too much. He's like, well, I've got the jug boiling for a coffee and we're bloody out of milk. What?

Thank you, Patrick. So brave, Patrick. Thank you so much. And we're glad that you know this now. Yeah. Thank you. Some messages. Oh, my God. And there's some great messages.

For a start, everyone's just screaming Patrick on the TV. It's so good. Very brave Patrick. Patrick! I learnt when I moved in with a woman that

farts don't just come from the bum. They're pretty great. They're pretty funny. They're funny. I think they're funnier than farts. Completely different sound. Completely different, but funnier than farts. Completely different sound.

Completely different, but funnier. Whole different world down there. We'll get to more of your texts next. Want to know what you didn't know about the opposite sex until you figured it out later in life? Jeepers. Creepers. Awesome.

Great messages. Somebody said, it's okay, Patrick. I grew up thinking one boob had juice, one had milk, and I'm female. What kind of juice? What kind of juice? Pulpy? You'd hope it wasn't pulpy. Wild that they thought the human body could produce juice. Where are we getting the fruit from?

Orange juice. She thought it was orange juice. Thank you for clarifying. My ex told me that her Auntie Flo was coming this week and my response was, oh, I didn't know you had an Auntie Flo. And that was when I found out that that's the nickname for periods and then I learned about periods,

which I had not yet. I had not. That's good. I learned that girls have 1,000 hair ties and those bobby pins and they're just laid all throughout the house, not systematically. And, you know, they'll never be able to find one when they need one. and they're just laid all throughout the house, not systematically. They'll never be able to find one when they need one.

I learned that men have a menstruation cycle. I have to get out the gridlock PJs when his keen week coincides with my out of bounds week. Oh, because when you're ovulating, your randiness levels go up as a woman. So men have a randy week as well. I'm not aware of my randy week. I think men are just 24-7. A lot of women texting in about the men's complete lack of laundry knowledge.

They thought it was always sort of like a ha-ha myth. But then you move in with men, you're like, oh, you actually don't know how to make that work. No, I think there's females that don't know about washing as well. I think that's just more on their parents. Yeah, I don't think that's awful. I learned there are two different kinds of penises. Go ahead.

Oh, uncircumcised. No. And an outie. And the innie completely disappears. No, it shouldn't. Oh, that's a medical sort of a condition, I think, when it goes up. No, what do you mean it just gets cold and gets little? They do shrink.

What do you mean it goes in? I've never heard of that. As a representative of the penis bearers. Yeah. I've never. I've got a small one, too. So if it were to happen to anybody, it would be mine. Thank you.

Thank you. You're just as brave as Patrick I don't think my penis is like an iceberg you know you can only see one tenth of it

yeah it's all inside it's all on the inside yeah you know I went my whole life hearing that women are gossips

then I got into an all male workforce and realised that they're just as bad if not worse than women I think Vaughan Smith is the biggest goss I know. Oh, yeah, 100%.

When we get a little cup of tea emoji in the chat, God, my heart races. Oh, it's good stuff. I love a goss. Yeah, I know you do. Yeah. And you're always mining for it, too. Oh, I love a mine. I didn't realise how much men had to hoik all the time.

Thank God for bisexuality, so I can take a break from it every now and then. It's so good. That's good. Hoik. My husband's ability to fall asleep whenever he wants, anywhere, any time of day. I don't think that's a male thing, though. Yeah.

That's sometimes. Dads are pretty good at that. Yeah. Dads are like, yeah, I've been up since four. Yeah. And then they're straight out. So I'm surprised that guys' balls float in the bath. The buoyancy of balls.

They do, they do. They float, yeah bath the buoyancy of balls they do they do they float the buoyancy of balls I thought we all learnt that as a kid you see your dad in the bath did you see your dad

in the bath how often do you see your dad in the bath when I was like real real little when you go into the bathroom

and dad would be in the bath and always be like it's floating I feel like dad's probably had way more baths back in the day as a dad I very very rarely had a bath

Oh my god, the 90s loved a bath Oh yeah, they did We were just using so much water back then We were just bathing so much Baths, baths, baths Yeah, oh, I learnt that having women use more toilet paper than men Because we wipe front and back Yeah

Yeah, we do That's true And someone would like to just shout out to Vaughan toilet paper than men because we wipe front and back. Yeah. Yeah, we do. That's true. And someone would like to just shout out to Vaughan. Thank you so much for ripping the growers not showers. Now he didn't say it was a grow. He just said it was a small gang. I don't think I can represent the growers or the showers. He's got an innie. Someone else has texted, shout out to

the small gang. Yeah, well, we're out there. Not a lot of it, but you know, you're not putting yourself out there. No, it's hard to put yourself out there. Someone a lot of it, but you know, you're not putting yourself out there. No, it's hard to put yourself out there. Someone is texting that we're a source of education for many. Both the women have three holes and that we bleach our undies.

Because of our acidic vaginas. Have a great weekend everyone. Haven't we given you an education? Wait a minute. You'll remember Patrick. Yes, Patrick. I thought that lactation was possible. Yeah. At the drop of a hat. I've always been able to lactate. Patrick's not wrong. Entirely.

Well, it's definitely not common. Can you lactate? Is this because they've had a child? No, I've always been able to lactate even before I had kids. It is possible to lactate when you're not pregnant. There are several reasons why. A condition where milk leaks from the breasts when you're not pregnant or breastfeeding can be caused by medication,

stimulation, or a pituitary gland disorder. Galacteria usually goes away on its own with oh my god, we should try to milk me. Let's go. Have a good weekend. Don't milk me. We won't do that. That's not what we're going to do.

I don't want anyone thinking the show ends and we're going to go milk Hayley. I don't want anyone imagining that. That's not what we're going to do. We're in the show. I don't want anyone thinking the show ends and we're going to go milk Hayley. I don't want anyone imagining that. That's not happening. What are you guys doing? I'm probably going home. I'm still going home and I'm getting out of here fast. I'm in the lawn.
