This is...
Fleshwon and Haley's Big Pod.
Thanks to animates,
making happy happen for pets.
Good morning.
Fletch Fawn and Haley's,
two minutes past six.
Welcome to the show.
Happy short week, if you're a nine to five,
though.
Happy Shortland Street as well.
Happy Shortland Street to all those that celebrate.
Good luck to the astronauts.
Going around the moon, baby.
Yeah, I thought that we're going to land on the moon,
but that's the plan.
That's next time, mate.
All the time.
I got home quite late last night after filming seven days
and the moon bright, big up in the sky
and I woke up this morning and it had moved.
I was like, that's great.
Like, does it do that every?
Yeah, it does, it's how it works.
Yeah, it traverses across the sky most evenings.
I went to go and look at it and I was like,
where's the new moon and it does it during the day?
Where are you?
You're like, oh, it's not over my house.
Yeah.
Like it was before.
Isn't it a pink moon or something like that?
I was reading about it.
There's something that's supposed to.
to make us feel a certain way.
Every full moon's got a different name.
Yeah.
So the astronauts are going to fly around.
They're going to go further than any humans have been in space.
Wow.
That's cool.
Because last time they just went up, straight landed on the moon,
but this time they're going to, what, orbit around it a bit.
Who is on this?
Any Wahini on the ship?
I'd actually know.
Who's going on?
I don't know.
I know there's lots of female astronauts.
They follow one of them.
What's it called?
What's this something to...
Artemis?
Artemis.
Is it Artemis?
I think it's called Artemis.
Great.
Do you remember Artemis Fowell?
Yes.
Did you read those?
They were a little after my time.
Yeah.
But I am familiar with Artemis Fowl.
It was, yeah, they were great.
Any women?
I remember Artemis from Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I don't.
Artemis.
Who was Artemis?
Isn't that that friend, the like really weird one?
Artemis and Always Sunny.
Weird, odd looking guy.
No, woman.
We've got four astronauts, 10 days.
One of them.
Christina Koch is a mission specialist.
She is a Wahinae.
Jeremy Hansen, he's a mission specialist,
a classic white-looking American jock.
Victor Glover is the pilot.
He looks African-American.
Oh, he looks cool.
A male.
And Reed Wiseman, commander.
He looks like a classic American commander.
Jeremy Hansen literally looks like Johnny Bravo.
That chin.
He does.
You've got to have a good chin to go under space.
Damn, that was a good.
That's a fine hero rolls.
They're good-looking people, aren't they?
Our boy, we've got an American listener.
Remember we came and visited us and bought us all the NASA badges?
Oh, Austin.
Austin.
He'll be fizzing at the bunghole about this.
I love it.
I love on the NASA site you can read about the astronauts,
and it links you to their Instagram.
And I see next to Jeremy Hanson's Instagram, he's Canadian.
That's Artemis from always sitting in Philadelphia.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
I'm going to follow the Astro underscore Kristore.
Dana.
I hope she sends stories from space.
Well, good luck.
Oh my God, Carol.
Should be like, get ready with me, get ready with me for a space walk.
Hey guys, and like taping your products behind her hands.
You've all been asking me.
Hi guys, I'm in space.
Get ready with me to go on the moon.
We'll play a $10 suburb, $1,000 street as well.
That was nice when I got one yesterday.
I know.
Around quarter past eight.
So yeah, yesterday we gave away $1,010.
with $10 suburb.
But I can guess your pet's name is back.
A lot of people loving this game thanks to Animates.
After 9 will play that.
Vaughan will ask you three questions about your pet,
and if you can guess its name in 15 seconds,
you win $500 in an animates voucher.
How good.
Yeah.
I also have, speaking of neighborhoods and streets,
I've got great news for me.
Something new in my neighborhood.
Oh, okay.
Spotted yesterday.
We'll delve into that later on the show.
Next, though, you are a theatre.
I am a Thespian
and there is a new
Is it when you're into women, isn't it?
No, that's lesbian.
Oh, right.
I'm a fesia is a person from Lebanon.
Well, there's a new way to experience the theatre.
I'll tell you about next.
The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod.
This is someone who really loves to be looked at.
Loves to be watched and looked at and seen.
Perform on stage.
Yeah, I love performing, but I just love to be looked at.
Center of attention.
Center of attention.
Look at me, look at me, look at me.
I've been saying, look at me since the moment I came out.
I wouldn't personally do this as a choice.
I've had blind people in my audiences before,
and they, you know, because comedy is a very audio heavy form.
Yes.
It works.
But there is a theatre company, this is in LA, who are putting on a play.
It costs 65 American dollars.
So like just over 100 New Zealand.
This is an expensive show.
Okay.
To go and see.
Poe
colon
Poulson pendulum
What's that?
I don't know
What you just said?
I'm going to lose you quite quickly I feel
Okay
It's two Edgar Allan Poe
One Act plays, the poet
Okay I'm familiar with Edgar Allan Poe
Yes
And his work with the Raven
Yes
So this is
The Pit and the Pendulum
And the Taltail Heart
There's a theatre company
That has put on
Both of these one-act plays
but the twist is you go into the theatre
and that it gets washed in a red light
and you have a blindfold all the entire time
taking away your sense of sight.
What's a radio play then?
Oh my God, I've done radio plays before.
They're so funny.
Hello, Christopher.
Might I enter into the room?
Hello, it's very fun.
But yeah, so they take away your sight
and it said the guy who's directing it said
it's to make you feel naturally uncomfortable.
So already, you're a little bit on edge,
you're going, because, you know, you've lost your sense of sight.
Then in the show is jump scares, loud noises,
blowing fans, occasional waffes of smell,
and consensual light touch.
Oh, so they come up up,
you, touch you,
or like they have kind of sticks or something.
I don't know.
And then the actors are working just in like a low red light
so that they can see obviously what they're doing.
I'd just sort of sit there.
Does this sound to you like they didn't have budget for the stage?
And they were like, what are we going to do?
Red lights and blindfolds is way cheaper.
We blew the set budget.
Yeah, and then they're just like, I've got an idea.
We make it art.
Yeah, make it into intentional art.
See, people are paying $100 New Zealand to go to a show.
They can't see.
Only here.
Only here and I guess feel.
When you walk in and sit down before, I mean, I guess the curtains have you drawn,
there would be no set, right?
Like, why would you build a set?
No, there's a photo of the audience.
They're kind of just in, like, seats around.
So it's like, rather than being in a traditional theatre
where you're in, like, rows and rows of seats,
it's the seats are kind of around the room
and the play happens in the middle.
But I'm like, I get that thing of you take away one sense
and then everything else, maybe you're emotionally open,
but jump scares?
Yeah.
But you've got a fair factory in Queenstown for that.
You'd just rather spend $100 and get blind drunk.
That sort of blind.
To be honest, that's different kind of blind.
Imagine if you went to the theater, like, let's go see a theatre show
and we'll have a few drinks or something,
and your friend doesn't tell you they're going to be blindfolded the whole time.
You have a few too many proscicos, and you walk into this place,
and you're like, oh, I can't see.
They've taken away my side.
Well, speaking of live performances, haileysprow.com for tickets.
I'm going on tour in five weeks time.
Are you crowbarring in the show?
Yeah, yeah.
Is the show finished yet?
Getting there.
Okay.
Just working on it.
I think the more important question is, is it funny?
Getting there.
Get in there?
We'll buy your tickets.
Getting there.
The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod.
Lacking a little prosperity, wealth, ambition.
I think that's everybody right now, isn't it?
I was going to say, I think everyone would want a little bit more prosperity and wealth at the moment.
In the face of the...
Have we checked the dooms they clock lately?
It's been ticking closer to the 12.
It must be like right next to it now.
I'm sure it's...
Yeah, nearly touching.
Well, Gen Z's and China have decided
they have a new mascot
for wealth and prosperity.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Like an omen or something like a...
No, it's changing your profile picture on social media
to Chris Jenna.
As they see...
Oh my God, I saw this.
Chris Jenner is one of the hardest working businesswoman
in the US and the world,
and Chinese people are...
really respect hard work.
Cosplaying Chris Jenner as a Gen Z way of manifesting success.
Oh my God.
I've seen this and they've got her in and she's all like filtered
and lots of people change their profile picture to her
with like money signs all around her and suppose.
I was literally about to have a mental breakdown last night, says Marcelo.
Then I changed my profile picture to Chris Jenna and suddenly I'm slaying.
My confidence is through the roof.
I feel like I can now judge everyone.
right now, says another user.
I mean, maybe if it helps you confidence,
sure, but it's not going to do anything else.
Since changing their profile picture to Chris Jenna,
they had been offered two jobs.
Another Gen Z user said.
What I love is that they've used AI
to make her significantly more Chinese.
Like she's, there's one where she's like reading a Chinese book
or she's like in front of a Beijing backdrop
or she's having a little like boba tea.
They've made her really Chinese.
Oh, there's her in like a traditional sort of, you know, get up and whatnot.
Oh, wow, okay.
She sort of suits it and in a way.
She sort of looks Chinese.
And that's the plastic surgery.
Because I pulled the face tight.
You're not sure the eyes.
So I've had a look online, I can't find any articles of videos where she's commented on it.
I might.
Or do you think that's save that for an episode of the show?
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, it has only just happened.
It's literally, yeah, real fresh.
Like two or three days old.
She might not be wherever it.
Yeah.
I might pop up a story on Instagram and just have her.
For a little bit of prosperity.
Like, it's not that it's going to do anything, but what if it did and it's not going to hurt to have it up there?
Yeah, you've got nothing to lose.
For prosperity.
Well, I quite like that one of her as like a sort of a Chinese farmer.
Yeah, that's lovely.
That's quite nice.
She's got some sort of fields behind her.
Well, the devil works hard, but Christina works harder.
Yeah, she does.
She does.
Oh, here she is.
as a construction worker, a scientist,
as some sort of, not sure,
a mechanic there,
an armed military person,
a nurse or a chef?
Well, what if you put up, like,
a grid with, like, nine pictures of her?
More prosperity.
Three by three by three.
More, like extra prosperity.
So I like this one of her as a male sort of body builder influencer.
I think that's the one I'll choose.
With dollar bills all behind her.
Dollar bills all behind.
I might use that one.
I love this.
That feels the most prosperous.
What about her?
I like this one of her
just in a body of water.
That's great.
That's a weird one.
Prosperity.
I'm going to change that
and just wish prosperity
to everyone in my family
and everyone I know.
So if you don't want to head to my socials.
I mean, you put that up and we're...
Should we do it on the FVH socials?
Just because of the show.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
But that could be a KPI.
If the big boss is like,
what do you do and get the company money?
We'll be like, we put up.
We changed our profile picture to Christina.
For prosperity.
we get three Chris Jenner's.
Us, Chris Jenner and a
Beanie, Chris Jenner and a blue hat
and Chris Jenner and Hayley's outfit.
Whatever that is, yeah.
And like a metallic t-shirt or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.
That's real prosperity, right?
Okay, well, there's just, maybe we'll check in
with you in an hour and see
how your prosperity's going.
I'm just going to check my bank account now.
Uh-huh.
What's that big dash between that lovely number?
That means you're in, no, that means a dash.
And what color is that writing?
It's sort of like a rouge.
A red, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that means more.
I think you're going to double down on that Christian profile.
I'll post a few.
The ZN Podcast Network.
From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.
Well, I actually have a couple of bars at home of, I think that might be herbal ad night chocolate bars.
Oh, my God, yes.
Oh.
They came in like a promo pack of something, eh?
Yeah, yeah.
I wonder if they've gone over.
But, you know, if you leave chocolate too long, it gets a bit whiten.
Yeah.
I never, I haven't eaten it.
I ate it.
Did you find it?
Herbly ignorant?
I went insane.
No, it just, it was just nice chocolate.
Yeah, okay.
Generally don't have a problem with.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lack of sex drive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I don't know.
Well, a Northern California company called Gear Isle,
which sells adult novelty products,
is voluntarily recalling two chocolate products.
The products are Gold Lion, Aphrodisiac chocolate male enhancements.
sash.
Mouthful.
Geez, yeah.
And I'm a better name.
Iloom sex chocolate
male sexual enhancement
booster sold on their website.
The FDA found both products
contained undeclared
prescription drug ingredients,
sydenafil, which is Viagra,
and Tadalafil,
which is Cialis.
The amounts were described
as potentially life-threatening.
Oh, shit.
Especially dangerous for men
taking nitrate medications for heart conditions,
combining the two can cause severe potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.
Both products were marketed and sold as dietary supplements,
which face far less regulatory scrutiny than other prescription meds.
Wild.
So they just make this chocolate and they're like, well, we'll make it horny.
Just grind up some stiffy pills.
And get them in there.
And get them in the chocolate.
That's terrible.
Whose idea was that?
Some genius.
So I got the top six headlines for the Viagra chocolate story.
Number six on the list.
Man who ate recall chocolate.
Fine, great actually.
Never been better now if you'll excuse him.
Yeah.
Number five on the list of the top six headlines for the Viagra chocolate story.
No one returning recalled chocolate as sales spikes somehow.
Yeah.
As they would.
Because it's voluntary, isn't it?
Voluntary recall, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some people will be like absolutely stoked.
Why not?
Yeah, this is the greatest day of my life.
The black market that's going to be popping off.
How long does Viagra last for the effect?
I took it once.
You took it once and your eyes went blue.
In Thailand.
That might not have been beneficial.
I took some weird, it was a whole story about it.
Oh man, I can't remember that guy's name, but man he always had the best stories.
He imported 900 Stiffy Pilsstrom India.
And they got to customs and customs was just like, you can't have these without a prescription.
So he went to a doctor and was just like, got the prescription.
And then he went there and it was like, boom, and got them all.
And I took one of those.
lasted all weekend. I was a young fellow.
I certainly didn't need it. What do you mean it lasted
a weekend? Like even if you were to deal
with it? Yeah. And then it might
calm somewhat and then the minute you
had a sort of a thought of that nature
you were back in action.
Wow.
One.
We'll be inconvenient, I think.
Number four on the list of the top six
headlines it was. For the Viagra chocolate
story, Milky Bar Kid becomes
Milky Bar Man after eating record chocolate.
Number three on the list of the top six headlines for the Viagra chocolate story.
Chocolate recalled after keeping eaters up all night.
Yeah, I like that.
Number two on the list of the top six headlines for the Viagra chocolate story.
I guess it's Willie Wonka's never-ending Gobstop at 2.0.
Oh my God, we've had a text in.
Is it good?
It's really good.
Is it better than my number one?
No, no, no, no.
It's, I don't think it would be a headline.
They're just chiming in.
Oh, right.
Fantastic.
099.
Yeah.
I guess you could call it Tobler boner.
Toblobon.
Toblobone.
Yes, that's good stuff.
So why wasn't that in your headline?
That's way better.
Yeah, that's really good, actually.
Is that number one?
Niagara chocolate.
No, number one is Toblerbone.
Top six headlines with the Viagra chocolate story.
Number one, king-sized fruit and nuts live up to name in ways nobody asked for.
Yeah, that was good.
I like that.
This is quite a serious issue.
I hope they do face stiff penalties, though.
Erection.
I've got nothing.
Do you want to put something either side of that?
I'm absolutely juiced of comedy.
Aren't you selling tickets?
Haleysprow.com for more jokes like that.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Play ZM's Flashhorn and Haley.
Love being a woman.
It truly is the greatest pleasure of my life.
It's always a blast.
Always fun.
Always toilets, ample toilets at festivals
and concert venues.
Historically, it's been wonderful from Woe to Go.
You've voted the whole time.
Oh, we've always had our say.
We've always been respected and compensated thus.
So I'm having a bit of a lady issue, if I may discuss that with my male friends.
Sure.
You know, I've got PCOS and I had a very irregular cycle,
went a whole year without a period.
And then it came.
It actually arrived when I was looking Fletch in the eyes,
and he saw it happen.
He saw the process of me realizing what was that name.
That's actually Fletcher's superpower.
He drew it out of me.
Yes.
He summons it.
If you're having trouble, did I?
Get in that period.
You need to talk to Big Daddy over here.
Fletch.
He brings it out of you.
I hated that.
It was wizardry.
He wizardryed me.
I think it was just wrong place for wrong time.
He fixed my one year drought.
Right place.
And then after that,
absolute perfection of a cycle.
And it's been, you know, because I use a tracking app,
I'm talking day 28 to 30
Boom, boom, boom, bomb, bomb,
Symptoms, boom, bomb, bomb, bomb,
Absolutely great.
The other day I was due
for my cycle tour to begin
And I felt the deep, dark depths of depression take me
And I thought, here it comes
And then I took a bag
That was trying to get into the boot
And it wouldn't fit properly
And I slammed it and I was like, here she comes
All things are lining up nicely
That night, lo and behold,
Oh, she arrives.
Next day gone.
Oh, okay.
Absolutely gone.
Now that's not usual for me.
I'm a five-dayer.
Right.
And then two days later,
she's back, and then she's gone again.
And she's gone without a trace.
So I was like, that's very odd for me.
How awfully queer.
How awfully queer?
What on earth is going on down there.
So I put this into chat, GPT.
No.
Claude A.
Because you've moved.
I've changed.
I'm loving her, by the way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chubs.
You call your chubs.
Yeah, call it chubs.
And I put this in and I was like,
I said, you know, everything that's been going on.
And then,
um,
and then,
um,
Claude said to me,
you know,
here's some options as to what it could be.
What are you up?
I'm pregnant.
Well, congratulations.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
That also happens when Fletch looks,
looks the ladies in the eyes too.
I don't think so fertile.
I need to look at me.
Macular conception.
No, it could be an implantation bleed, they say.
About 20% of women experience
a bit of spotting the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
I read that.
My heart race, so did three tests.
Right, okay.
So our show's sponsor, Chemist Warehouse.
Did you get a three pack?
Yeah, I got a three pack, baby.
Clear blue.
Is it clear blue is the label?
Yeah, clear blue.
Yep, there we go.
One line, one line, one line.
Yeah.
Alleluia.
There's a few other sort of things.
I just piss on a COVID test.
It's much cheaper.
Still negative?
Yep.
There are two lines come up on that one.
I've waited on.
I'm not quite sure what's going on.
Yeah, absolutely.
One result could be sudden and significant weight loss.
Okay.
Ruled that out.
I didn't need a jump on the scales to clarify that one.
And then I went down a little bit further,
and it's other thing that it suggests for me
is that I could be experiencing the signs of menopause.
Not peri.
Not peri, mayonnaise.
Because it goes peri peri peri menopause.
Yeah.
Lemon herb.
Leveneherb first, then peri peri peri.
And then the peri peri scale of peri peri menopause just gets hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter.
And then you hit full blown menopause.
Right.
Full meno.
Typically women 51.5 years of age in New Zealand.
Right.
36.
Yeah.
Even peri peri mayo is 40s.
Right.
But you hear about women that get it early, don't you?
You do.
You do? What it's different for everybody?
It's hormonally...
I have the blood work to get done, but you have to do it on day two of your cycle
to get the right read if your hormones are all over the shop.
Excuse me, and this isn't a gag, but when you say blood work on day two, do you mean
withdrawal or you take a sample of your uteral...
No, no, no, you go get a blood test from the arm.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, God, I don't want to have to gather that.
No.
God, still samples bad enough.
Yeah, I know.
But this one, this cycle's so mucky.
last time I was
I was away, inconvenient.
Time before that I was literally in the bush.
So I keep missing the chance to do it.
I don't think it's menopause
because I'm so young.
Well, AI always, it's like Google or anything,
whenever anything's wrong.
The first thing it always says is cancer.
Someone has messaged and suggested a nickname for Fletch,
blood prints.
No, it's a play on,
no, you've missed it.
It's a play on Harry Potter.
The Half Blood Prince.
Steve here is very cleverly said Fletch is the have blood prince
Oh I didn't realise it was a Harry Potter reference
Quite clever there Steve
Well it's quite good if you were going on holiday
And you wanted to time your menstrual cycle
To sort of get it coming earlier or something
Just message in flex
I'm not a skill
He'll Zoom call you
And look you straight in the eye
I'm on your period
I'll be blocking anyone that messages me
Play ZN's Fletch won in Haley

Tax bill. Yeah, GST 2 by May 7.
Yep, okay. I span it. I span it, sorry.
Well, some of them were bad, as they always are.
I saw someone say the key to it is it's got to be believable.
Yeah.
Yeah, don't go too far.
And then sometimes you just felt like there were corporate or companies just ticking the box,
like, we've got to do something.
It's like, do you?
It's like when they chuck a pride flag in their logo.
And Pride Month.
They're like, ah, we're going to do something.
See, gays.
Everyone's going to think everyone's going to think we're home of fives if we don't.
Yeah.
Yeah. No, they're not, are they? Just don't...
No, it doesn't matter if they will.
Well, Chubba Chub did the meatball lollipop in conjunction with IKEA.
Oh, okay.
That was one of the April Fools that was out and about there.
Yes, saw that.
Because this is the other thing now.
You wake up today thinking it's over and you've enjoyed April Fools,
but then you've got the rest of the world, America or in Europe.
Yes.
You know, and all of their April Fools, gags, gags coming on your feet.
And you're just like, oh, here we go, another day.
Yeah.
I see, I'm just having a look at a few of them.
Dole did a tinned Hawaiian pizza.
Oh, a doll pineapple?
Yeah, pull back on the Hawaiian pizza in there.
I don't have that idea.
That could be doable.
I wonder if in the history of April Falls
has ever been a product that they've joked about
that's actually happened?
That's actually, people wanted so badly that it happened.
Like, was it Doritos that did the coriander flavor?
And some people are like, I'd actually do that.
Yeah, yeah.
Phenomenal.
I'm going to do a quick Googler.
Has there ever been an April Falls?
Yeah.
I know, like, in New Zealand,
Les Mills did a video with dog yoga,
which was pretty well, like, put together in stuff.
Again, something I would attend.
Yeah, because, like, cute Labradors and puppies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just having a look at some of the overseas ones.
I mean, the thing is, like, when they go too hard, it's just not.
Well, Wellington Phoenix posted that one of their players
was going to be on Love Island.
Oh, really?
I saw that.
Did you see Dyson do the pet grooming?
attachments for the vacuum, but they have pet grooming.
No, I know, that's the weird thing about it is it kind of works.
The pet groom has entered the pet grooming industry with the launch of its beauty pet
range so your dog can have like a blow wave.
It's like straightness and stuff.
To be fair, though, I have seen an Instagram reel of a man,
Dice and Air Wrapping his golden retriever's chest.
Yes.
And it looked beautiful.
Yeah.
So Heinz always loves it.
We've got matcha mayo this year.
Oh, okay.
Bright green, marcha mayo.
Yeah, the Chubbichu.
IKEA meatball was good.
RJ's did a marmite all sorts.
There was a...
Hold fire on that.
Because I hate licorice.
Lickrish is yuck.
No, I love licorice.
I might eat a marmite flavoured.
Like, I mean, I would try it.
That's not the worst of dairy.
I'm actually not too mad at that.
What were some of the Kiwi companies?
Intercity posted. They were doing an all-new
Eco-Mode pedal-powered buses.
Oh, yeah.
Also, 966 on the text machine, if you fell for an April Fool's yesterday,
and went, oh my gosh.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember Subway did the exclusively Pickle sub,
where it was just Gurkorn on Gurkon, on Gurkuton, on Gurkut.
Oh, really?
That was years ago.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Ticket Tech, Australia did the treadmill zone at one of the arenas in Australia.
So you could book that area and work out while you were at the concert.
Oh, yeah.
Someone said McDonald's did.
McDonald's did a $1 big Mac all day
and people thought it was in April Phil's like
but McDonald's was like
no you can have a $1 Big Mac
and no one used it. I like that
yeah that was good. You know that car dealership did that
in Auckland once they're like free
free BMW. It was an ad in the
hero. Yeah yeah, free BMW
and very much made it look like
an April 1st April Fool's joke
and then someone went down and was like
I'm like sheepishly I'm just here about the car
they took a chance and they're like here it is and they got a car
Yeah.
Oh.
That was cool.
Like the teas and seeds were first person, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was brilliant.
Now, apparently the Hastings District Council's had a good one.
I'm just having a look.
Someone just messaged in on the text machine.
Because Rokitu at Lakes Council did a tagging the fish.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
And due to an increase in Nemo fish found, we're tagging them.
Producer Carl, when you were fooled yesterday by Hawks Bay, your hometown.
Napier City Council posted one and you fell for it.
I'm eating a hot cross bun.
Oh, I'm sorry, I threw to her with not.
Yeah, you went mid-gold.
Yeah, you went mid-gold, didn't you?
No, they posted that this big store that's in Napier that's for sale at the moment.
They were like, Mac is coming.
And I was like, oh my gosh, messaged my friends and Hawksby,
and like, guys, this is so exciting for you.
And then they're like, babe, it's April 4.
And I was like, damn.
Oh.
But that's not.
Oh, Hastings District Council 1 was Pooh Patrol.
We're on a roll.
And it was the council really focusing in.
on their new roles within the council,
the poo patrol,
that just go out looking around the park.
For poohs.
Okay.
For poop?
Somebody,
so apparently in the early 2000s,
Domino's said they were going to do an eddy box,
which is where you ate the pizza and then ate the box that it came in.
Yep.
And that was the April Falls.
And it was in April Falls.
And everyone's like,
actually rules for an idea.
And apparently they like spent quite a bit of money trying to work out how to make it happen.
An edible box.
Yeah.
But I mean, the box kind of touches things.
Like a taco bowl.
Yeah.
But the box.
touches things. That's why you don't want to eat the box.
How's the guy coming around to deliver you? Yeah, he's got his hands all over it.
It's been sitting in the back of his car. It's getting all sweaty with all the other
pizza boxes that are edible. Yeah, there was an Italian restaurant in Auckland that posted
oyster tiramisu. Now there's are two of my favourite things.
Yeah, but individually. Yuck no. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
Play that ends, Fleshhorn and Haley.
You know Instagram is the show's chosen social media of choice.
Chosen of choice. Yeah, sure, yeah.
Right?
Like, we don't really talk as hard as we gram.
No, we don't talk as hard as we gram.
Bebo, we've let die a little bit.
Our MySpace Top 8 hasn't been updated.
Tom's still on there.
Instagram.
As well he should be.
He earned it.
He invented it.
He did, indeed.
Instagram is currently testing a premium Instagram subscription
called Instagram Plus.
They're testing this in Mexico, Japan, and the Philippines.
Because a couple of people on these news stories have commented
that they've been using it for a while.
Part of the test.
As it's just doing a testing phase,
it's really cheap, like a couple of bucks
if you're in this, you know, wherever they're testing it.
Some of the features for Instagram Plus,
and I feel the subscription leaving my body,
you can view stories anonymously
without notifying the poster.
Because, you know, when you post a story,
you go, who's seen this?
Yes.
Up comes the list.
And you can search their viewer list to see if specific people have watched as well.
So you can basically see if someone's stalking you.
Or you could also see how many times a particular person has rewatched your story.
How many times have gone?
Oh my God, I'm going to look at it again.
That's creepy.
I'm going to look back.
So you could see if someone's like viewed you, like if someone's got a crush in you and they view it 10 times, I don't know, because it's a hot story.
Yeah.
Or you're trying to work out like who's in there.
Like they're with another person.
who were they with?
And you watch it a couple of times.
Watch it again, again, again.
I'm getting obsessed.
Oh, they're going to see.
Carl Fletcher watched this story 10 times.
And you'd be like, oh, oh, that's embarrassing.
He's obsessed with me.
He's obsessed.
Stories can be extended from 24 hours to two days.
Okay.
So you know how your stories disappear.
Which would be good if you're an influencer
and you wanted people to see your, like, paid posts and stuff.
Yeah.
And you just get a weekly spotlight feature that,
boosts one story's visibility.
Right.
But you only see stories if you're being followed, eh?
For followers.
Yes.
No, that can be on the Explore, like on the Explore page.
The stories can't be on an explore page, can they?
Isn't that Reels?
Yeah, that's Reels.
Oh, that's just Reels.
So this would be like, stories as well then?
You can pay to boost stories.
Yeah, I guess so.
And subscribers can give super likes on stories
and create multiple custom audience lists
beyond close friends.
So you can have close friends or like
hot dudes. Do you know what I mean?
Because what I sent my close friends,
well what I want my close friends to see on
Instagram is different from what I want
my hot followers to see.
So you can have hot followers,
you could have like, you could have a tab
exclusively for your exes.
I'm really surprised it's taking them
this long to do this because
it's money. They want to make money.
Also these are like basic features
that you know that people would be into.
Of course they want to make money.
I can feel like this.
Would you, somebody just messaged in that reminds me of the OG Snapchat settings.
We could see someone's top three best friends and you get a star next to your name if you'd view someone.
We just story more than three times.
What do they just say?
What did they just say before we started this break on air?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was given snap.
I said it was the best feature because it was so scandalous.
Being able to see who other people were talking to.
And you'd be chatting to people and you'd be like, well, that's not your girlfriend or boyfriend.
that's your number one, two or three best friend.
It was so great.
So it's also going to get an AI agent via Manus, Manis,
which is a Singapore-based company that Meta bought for $2 billion in December.
Oh, okay.
So have its own AI in there.
I just to curate the internet.
I wish I'd started an AI company.
I saw some Kiwis just sold some AI thing that they started for like a couple of hundred mills.
Maybe you should not be as dumb then.
Well, that sounds hard, man
Let me do one thing at a time, okay?
Oh, okay, so I'm going to stop being dumb
Then I'm going to invent AI
They feel like a big journey
Yeah
What to stop being dumb?
Yeah, it feels like real
Would you find it an egg though?
It's like kind of knowing that people have bought
A verification tech on Instagram
Or something?
I don't know.
I don't know.
If you knew that were premium, I'd be like
Who do you think you are?
And I'd also be like, for what purpose
are you paying?
Like, do you really want to go?
at somebody's story so many times
and not get caught doing so?
Yeah, what are you paying for?
I suppose so.
But like with most things where they add a
subscription-based tier,
they'll make the free tier worse.
Yes, 100%.
And they'll make it to the point where it's kind of like,
that was a Black Mirror episode.
Do you remember the Black Mirror episode?
No.
It was the one with,
and his wife survived.
Yes, she could,
but when they signed on, it was a certain amount.
But then they just kept changing the tier.
she couldn't leave home.
And then she was so sick.
Yeah, yeah.
And it was like, oh, you've got a problem.
We've just dropped that down to this now.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's what I reckon will happen is they'll be like,
oh, you can only post X amount a week,
and you can only post so many stories.
Which for those friends that go out on a Friday or Saturday
and their dots at the top of the stories are very little.
That might actually be a good idea.
You're like, hon, when you wake up,
just going to let you know there's 20 dots.
It's maybe fixed that.
Let's make it a six dot day.
Yeah.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Play ZM's Flesh Forne and Haley.
Let's own silly, silly, silly.
The little poll today is should shops be open over Easter?
So there's been that laws, the Alcohol Reform Act is past its third reading.
Could be all go-by tomorrow or something.
Yeah, which means that they're getting rid of that stupid need to have food with your drinks.
Food has to be available.
Personally, it's up to you.
I would judge this on.
a case-by-case basis.
Some people need a bit of food. Some people do need a bit of food.
Some people don't. If you're having a casual one, oh yeah.
Quiet, Guinness. Not a problem. Not a problem.
I don't know why we're doing this accent if we're talking about Guinness.
No need for Hawaiian pizza, not problem.
I buy little chippies. Now bring the bottle vodka.
Share bottle chip.
You get a keep your a only dip. It is not for everybody.
It's a not problem.
Too rich from a eastern block stomach.
So retail stores have to close over three and a half days every year.
Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and Anzac Day until 1 o'clock.
So they think that that's going to be the next one on the block after they've dealt with the alcohol reform shops since they happen.
You know what?
I love when the garden centre is the most rebellious of the retailers.
I love the garden centres are like, fine, sue me.
I'm selling some Chris Anast for some of them.
Yeah, it's for Samson.
Yeah, look, I mean, it's based on like religion, right?
Yep.
And most of the country isn't.
But for people who work in retail, isn't it nice to shut the doors and have a weekend where you don't have to worry about it?
You don't have to worry about staffing.
You don't have to worry about being there.
You don't have to worry about time and a half.
Well, I went out of vodka.
Do you think shop should be open over Easter?
59% of people said yes.
41% of people said no and opinions are strong.
Yes.
Give the workers a rest, says Tripti.
Business will survive if they shut for a day.
Agreed.
Brian said no.
Give retail workers a break.
They need it.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Abbey, selfishly kinder because I want a beer,
but also resell people deserve a break.
Agreed.
You can have a beer at home.
If you pre-planned, that's order.
I was at the supermarket yesterday and I had some old ducks,
and they were having a real panic about the fact that the supermarket was shut on Friday.
Now, don't remember, get four of those because the supermarkets are shut on Friday.
Maybe we'll get five.
You don't want to be cold.
Is there room in the freezer?
I don't know if there's room in the freezer for five.
could squeeze for.
Anika says, I don't believe in God.
Okay, thanks.
So I have no ties to Easter and would like to use the long weekend to catch up on things I can't get done during the week.
Make it like Anzac Day and let them open in the afternoon.
Oh, that would be a good idea.
Sleep in, a show.
Or maybe just take it down to one day off.
Like Good Friday or Sunday or something.
And then we can still have them.
Yeah.
It's a time for everyone to spend time with their families, not in the shops.
Says Paige, who obviously likes spending time with her.
So that's like, I would never make Easter.
of spending time with my family holiday.
I reckon it's your last go away for the weekend holiday
where you can enjoy a bit of summer.
This is pre-labour weekend.
Or matriki, yeah, before matrike.
And then we've got King's birthday, Mataniki,
then we've got the drought.
How is the weather looking for this weekend?
Is it looking all right?
In Bali, did you want to know?
Nah, you can shut up about that.
Did you want to hear another thing?
What's happening in Seminiak, one of our favorite places to go as a group?
I mean, it's pretty consistently about 27, 28 degrees.
I'm muggy, with a slight shower later in the afternoon.
Easter weekend in New Zealand, according to the AI
overview, starts calm and fine with high pressure on Thursday and Friday,
but turns wet for the South Island on Saturday,
extending to the North Island by Sunday.
Wet. Expecting heavy rain in Westland and Fiordland
with cool, showery conditions developing across many regions later in the weekend.
I'm going to...
And now to Dan.
Thanks for that, Simon.
Tonight on 7th Sharp.
I'm going to Stuart Island on Monday,
and I looked at the weather yesterday and it said it was all G.
Literally, that's what it said, all G, my G.
All G.
I'll say it's 30 degrees in Bali where I'm going, but it's actually...
No, in one, Hawaii!
Babes, it's pissing down with rain the whole time, so don't worry about it.
Well, that'll teach you for not taking it.
Because, of course, those $4 massages, they melt in the rain, don't they?
The cheap food, the delicious eats, that all just melts away in the room.
I'm so sorry.
Asia said it's my birthday on Easter Monday, so how am I going to avoid my in-laws who are staying if I can't escape to the shops?
Yeah, fair.
Sorry about that.
Logan, I'm in two minds.
Retail workers deserve long weekends too,
but New Zealand only acknowledging Christian holidays
feels significantly outdated nowadays
given the diversity of our country.
Oh my God, add more.
Add Chinese ones and Indian ones and all the ones.
As a diabetic atheist, chocolate eggs and cheese
are best in Malaysia.
Diabetic atheist is perfect.
That's really funny.
Really funny. Diabetic atheists.
Great Rockwest.
It is. Yeah, it is.
I take yes, instinctively said Lucinda,
However, reflecting, I'm wondering why.
I'm certain we can plan ahead for a few days.
Enjoy the time with family.
Take a break.
In the year of 365 days, surely as a human population we can do without going to the shops,
go for a walk, call old friends, WhatsApp, someone overseas,
reconnect with yourself.
Stop being busy for no reason.
Wow.
She said, yes, and then immediately just retreated into this full, like, philosophical note.
Yeah, okay.
Ashley, no, even though I'm not in New Zealand, I'm in the Caribbean.
I wish to be at home and not at work.
Oh, I want to be in the Caribbean.
Where in the Caribbean, is she?
I don't know.
Ashley, we're about in the Caribbean are you.
I've never, never been.
It's beautiful.
I would love to.
I'd go to see the pirates.
And those little metal hoops that help people do ab-sailing.
Carabinas.
Yeah, there's an island there where they naturally occur.
They naturally occur.
It was the twisty bit.
That's a good dad joke from you, actually.
Really tickled me that.
It's a little island.
The carabinas.
You go swim with the pigs.
Swim with the pigs.
Swim with the pigs.
I didn't see the carabinans, though.
Oh, they're on the island over.
Yeah.
Just the movie wasn't it, Pirates of the Carabinas.
Yeah, Pirates of the Carabinas, and they come down off the mast.
Yes.
I reckon Ab sailors are really loving this chat right now.
Anyone ab-sail?
Oh, 9-6-96 from Mount Sinars.
If you're strapping on a harness today to clean some windows.
Yeah.
On a high-rise builder.
Also, if you go into the Caribbeana Island,
stop there because if you get, like, it goes pigs.
Carabina's Epstein.
Yeah.
Stop before you get there.
Okay, fan stick.
Right there.
So for silly little poll today, we asked,
do you think shops should be open over Easter?
And 59% of you said yes.
The ZN Podcast Network, play ZDN's flesh,
for one and Haley.
I want to know right now,
when were your instincts right?
We felt something in your gut and you went,
hmm, and then you were right.
88% of women who took part in this study
believe their instincts are so strong,
they consider themselves better than the FBI
at sniffing out something going on.
Oh, really?
The Federal Bureau of Intelligent Investigations.
Icebergs.
Icebergs.
The Fish Bearing Icebergs Association.
So they say that women in particular have very strong instincts.
Psychological research said that this is true of women in particular,
that emotional intelligence and sensitivity to behavioral changes
can make people more aware of inconsistent.
especially in close connections.
We're sniffing out when something's wrong in our relationships.
When something's up without kids.
Oh my God, I just revealed I've got children.
I've been lying this whole time.
But right?
I'm not just saying only women can do this.
I think I've got pretty good instincts and pretty good intuition.
Yeah, and you'll go.
That sometimes if I don't trust it, I'm like, should have trusted that.
I knew.
Sometimes if that happens, I look back and say, you know what?
You knew that.
Nasty gut.
Well, we're often looking out for signs of small shifts in communication, tone or daily routines
that would otherwise go unnoticed unless you were like, I'm going to follow that lead a little bit.
Like you're used to that baseline and then when it changes, you're like, oh, they're coming home quite late.
So I want to hear, yeah.
Those are not the socks you wore when you left this morning.
So I want to know when were your instincts right, and it doesn't have to be about relationships.
Or cheating.
Maybe you did follow them for that.
Maybe it was just like a gut feeling you had that you were like,
that's a bit off and you were right.
Like when, you know, women love sniffing out when someone's pregnant.
They're like, I've noticed.
Oh, yeah, I've noticed.
I'm going to call it now.
Would you like a drink?
No, thank you.
pregnant.
pregnant?
No, pregnant.
No, just really hungover.
I could not stomach it.
Okay, well, we want to take your calls.
0800-Diles at M now.
You can text through 9-696.
When were your instincts on the money?
Right now, though, when were your instincts right?
The vast majority, 88% I believe, of women said that they think their instincts are so right,
they're better than the FBI themselves.
Oh, well, Hannah, you rate your intuition, your instincts.
Yes, yeah, I do, just through my profession.
I probably should have been anonymous, but that's right.
Oh, okay.
Let's say, Anna.
Go again, Anna.
Anna.
Anna, yeah.
Anna.
Sorry, Anna.
Yeah, I'm a wedding celebrant, so I meet couples about 12 months before their wedding,
and I've had two occasions where I've called it that they wouldn't even get married.
And then I've had two that I've called that.
I'd probably divorce them in the first two years, and Instagram's confirmed that to me.
Oh, my God, if you, Anna, were my wedding celebrant, and I knew this of you,
I'd say to my fiancé, oh, just want you just go pop out there?
And I'd be like, what do you think?
I would love to tell people the truth, to be honest, because I think it would stop quite a few.
weddings that probably shouldn't go ahead, but anyway.
Wow. But you've got to make that money, though,
don't you? You've got to make that money, and also you can't tell
people. No, you're... Yeah, that's a problem. I reckon you should tell them.
It might almost make them dig in. Yeah.
And put in the answer.
It's right where they do that kind of couple's test before they get married.
I feel like celebrants should offer that as well.
Yeah, totally. Oh, that's amazing. Thank you, Hannah.
Hannah, can we... Is she still there, Hannah?
Yeah, yeah. Do you think Fletch Forne and Haley is a trio where we're built to last?
Are we going to make it?
Are we going to make it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait.
What was that?
You're really unden hard there?
No, I think as long as you don't listen to the haters on Reddit, you'll be fine.
Oh, desperate, eh?
Desperate.
Love that, Hannah.
Thank you, Hannah.
Ask some messages, and why are you looking for in your bag?
A world to live?
Did you find it?
No, I've, uh, charger.
My phone's...
The battery's almost always dead
And I charged overnight
But that's not concerned
I was trying to do that.
I thought you were getting a new phone
He doesn't want to talk about it
He doesn't want to talk about it, okay
I'm over here on 90%
Oh, that must be nice
And a 17 pro
82%
It's nice, yeah
Do you want to charge it babe?
No, because I can't use
your USBC charger
Because I'm still on lightning
Oh, babe
I know but
That's okay
My ex parte and cheated on me
I knew the night it happened
I just had a gut feeling
it was happening. Didn't get confirmation until a week
later even though I asked them about it
on the night. Oh wow.
Okay. Yeah. Somebody said... You just knew.
I had a weird feeling about my partner.
FIFO. Fly in, fly out.
Husband does FIFO.
Been away for a couple of weeks. I just had this overwhelming feeling
something was very wrong and I couldn't get a hold of him.
Two days later he finally called to say
his body had started to shut down. It was a medical emergency
and it almost died. Oh my God.
Oh, wow.
So that's not even intuition that you thought they were cheating on.
something was up, that was literally like, you felt it in your bows.
Oh, I want it, like, twin intuition is so sweet-ty, yeah, twin tuition.
When did your investigation? Spidey senses kick in, but it's twin tuition and intuition
and just kind of like spiritual connections.
When you just, when your instincts were right.
Yes.
Yeah.
Twin tuition, I studied with a twin, and one day we were studying happy as, and then she got the
super-overwhelming, overwhelming sense of sadness.
We put it down to studying, and then that afternoon her twin called and said she'd been, uh, let go
from work.
And it had a really bad afternoon.
She felt her twin's sadness.
Yeah.
Either that or there was just a change in temperature shift.
Don't poo-poo the tingle-wingle.
Probably can be explained.
Twin tuition here, my sister and I feel each other's anxiety.
Wow.
I would not wish mine on anyone.
If I'm feeling really anxious but can't pinpoint why,
I know I need to message her to see what's up.
It's actually quite annoying.
I imagine.
Yeah.
Do you think it's because in the simulation there's a bug with twins,
twin characters.
Yeah, I think so.
The coding's too similar.
I was late in the evening
and all of a sudden
I had this horrific feeling
like a full-blown panic attack.
I knew something was wrong
with my twin brother.
Turns out at that exact moment
to the minute
he was undergoing emergency surgery
for a burst appendix.
Wow.
Who knew we had so many twins listening?
Oh, does anybody else do this?
I do this all the time, Ella.
I feel like when I'm asleep
and I'm dreaming, I ask myself
how long till I wake up?
I'm so tired.
Then suddenly I open my eyes.
Then the alarm goes off.
Oh.
Did you read this one about the school?
It wasn't unusual for me to miss my ride to school,
but for some reason my dad was suspicious about me wagging on this particular day.
He confronted me about what was in my bag.
I said it's PE gear and he said, show me it was my outfit.
I was planning to waggon.
I tried to make a run for it and he chased me down.
I was caught.
My mother was caught and I was escorted to school.
It really sucked having a police detective for a dad.
He's got intuition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good being a detective.
The Trades have just put the
McKita Workplace Radio up on the bench
out there working on the...
Oh, they do listen. Hi, boys.
I just wonder if they're listening this morning.
This is the test to see if they're listening this morning
because they have popped the McKeta
right up where we can see it.
Trades, come give us a little wave, please.
I actually haven't had a good eye on them yet.
By the way, speaking of...
Jesus.
Speaking of, I'm actually...
Are they listening?
Got your ears on?
Yep.
Got your ears on?
Yeah, there we're not.
Turn it on.
We're getting listeners out here, baby.
We're getting listeners.
Turn it on.
He's scatting through.
My twin aunties turned up to her wedding.
What?
We're done.
Yeah, shut up.
We're done.
I was just talking.
I was making a little sweet segue there.
Fletch, you're really letting the show go off the rails.
I'm pretty disappointed in you.
I am trying to rein this in.
Okay, Olivia, Dan.
We're talking about the tradies behind us who listened to us in the morning.
We're just got confirmation.
There they are.
There they are.
Hi, boys, doing the Lord's work.
I need to tell you about something I saw over my neighbour's fence yesterday, involving a tradeer.
The Z&M Podcast Network.
Play ZDM's Fleshhorn and Haley.
Yesterday I was in the garage, having a little meeting.
I'm doing a little, I've had enough of my parents through the spare room wall, you know?
Right.
So I'm going to shunt them into the garage.
I shunt.
With love.
You've got to be careful shunting them at that age?
Yeah.
They fall over.
fall down my deck steps.
Yeah.
Take it easy.
They're probably welcoming this move,
having heard what comes through the walk.
Yeah.
That laugh wasn't...
I've been spoken to.
Anyway, so I'm down in the garage
and it's my lovely draftsman, Graham,
and the structural engineer, Eugene's there,
and my mum's there, and even Craig joins us.
How do you need all these people for?
You just bought up the garage and chuck,
like, I've seen these for rent these places.
You just bought up the garage.
Yeah, yeah.
Chuck a...
chuck a heater in there and a
porta potty and you're done. That's at least
400 a week. I mean, turns out even
if you're putting your own family in there it actually
does have to make quite a high standard.
Oh, standards.
I'd be warm in my 60s.
I'm going to take care of that. We're just like a cram
immigrant families in our garage willy-nilly.
No, no, no, no, it's got to be
it's going to be all proper.
And old people get cold real easy, eh?
Oh my mum's constantly cold.
I know. Run the house.
Fat old people don't get cold.
No, it's the skinny old people.
Yeah, and both my parents are slow.
I can't, that's the way I'm starting to fatten up.
I can't, I can't bear the thought of in 20 years been cold.
Yeah, me too.
Mine was completely intentional.
You want to save on your pensioner warming and heating.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't afford the bats.
God knows I struggle to put weight on.
It takes forever.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Me too.
I eat and it just does not touch the size.
It falls off me.
You know, so we're having a meeting and we're talking about building.
And then we all hear they're saying, you know, chainsaws.
And my neighbours next to a big, long, like huge renovation project.
Yeah.
They've been going for years in the huge renovation project.
still will be kind of vibes.
So I'm used to the sound, but obviously it catches
the attention of the draftsman who's like, oh, there's Renauds
all around, having a little look.
Yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah, they're working
on something. I've seen
my neighbour's builders before.
Whatever, just bog standard builders.
Bog standard tronies. So I wasn't... I mean, out.
Yeah, I wasn't really that interested.
So I was like, yeah, come on back to my project.
What's the hottest trade? Just quick sidebar if I may.
Oh, hottest trade. George's in as well.
You'll have a opinion on this, Georgia.
Fred away in. George.
you're on the hottest trade and don't say your husband.
Well, he's not in trade that guy's got the softest hands of you've been that.
He's a bonker.
He's a banker.
He's a bit of a puss.
He's a bit of a puss hands.
Yeah.
He's a, I didn't even touch the bloody hammer in his life.
Just had to remind myself this wasn't the podcast.
A little lady hands.
It's got to be, it's got to be builders.
It's carpenters.
Yeah, it's builders.
No, it's definitely not a plumber and it's definitely not a sparky.
Wow, shots fired.
Join Georgia after 9.
after 10 this morning.
Yeah, if you're in the trades.
For your work day.
Jesus, Georgia.
I'm just saying what you were thinking, am I not?
You just have to open your mouth and say it out loud.
Well, I can confirm builders.
Because I hear the sores going off and then I just see flesh.
And I think, like this.
I'm like a magpie.
Well, I always said like a mosquito.
You're like a mosquito.
You see a bit of bare flesh and you want to get your little pointy needle snout into it.
And at this time, you know, Eugene's heart.
up and on about structural integrity.
Shut up, Eugene, nerd.
You know, it's got a rustle.
The name says it.
We're doing calculations.
Are you in a high wind zone?
That's a scam.
That's a scam.
Shut up, Eugene.
I'll be fine, Eugene.
Shut up.
The only Eugene I'll listen to is Eugene Levy,
and it's because of the eyebrows.
It is the eyebrows.
This Eugene's got weak eyebrows.
I'm distracted.
They could be telling me whatever,
how much costs, what it's going to be.
I clock this builder,
and he is unlawed.
Real.
Like I'm talking.
He turns around.
Well, we're talking at 10.
Well, I saw eight abs.
Bullshit.
Eight.
Eight.
That's showing off.
He had goodoof, gadoof, gadoof, guduff.
Yeah.
Four sets of two.
The gutters.
And then gutters.
Oh, no.
To the holy land.
To the holy land.
An arrow.
This way, ma'am.
And then those side bits, the obliques were like twisting.
Yeah.
Then he's like bending over drilling something.
His back's like,
like, ripple, ripple, ripple.
And I just go,
I was about to swear.
I said,
F me!
In front of these like, men in their 60s
and my mother and my father.
I was like, eff me.
I said, I'm sorry.
I was like, Mom!
And she looks around, she says,
holy shit.
So if you wonder,
the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
is basically what she's trying to say.
My God,
I have a hot builder across the fence.
A long line of horny wahini.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kiyara.
Kiyohra.
So we are just like, jump.
And I think they're still talking about, you know,
bracelet-gib or something like that.
I don't give a crap.
This guy is a god.
Like, I've, sorry, I don't even know what to do with that.
I've got to step up my backyard game.
Right.
So then I was like, Mom, oh my God.
And I sort of walk out of the garret,
and I'm getting my phone to try it.
Because I was like, people are going to want to see him.
There's bending over the photo beliefs.
It was a funny story, but you've videoed.
him and you're going in from a creepy position.
Hey, my God. Georgia, I'm right.
She's taken to it.
But then I was like, I need this dude to stand up so I get the eight pack on camera.
Oh, did I cut it off?
Just, damn it.
Okay.
So as he pops up there, he turns around and he clocks me filming him.
You're so embarrassing.
That's like 20 out of 10.
And he turns around, he's like, hi, sweetie.
You know, it's the trades are.
I will say as a gal
with a lot of homosexual friends
it was not the vibe he was giving off.
This is this, this is this, this, how do you make that?
Wow, we're speechless.
She's speechless.
She's fumbling, yeah.
I haven't seen a stomach like it.
So I will be hosting drinks.
Yeah.
Haley's also got up on the ladder
and turned a security camera round to the neighbours.
Finally, she's got a security camera working all it took was
not the pending threat of someone robbing her house.
The Dan's house network.
Vons 10 dollar suburb.
I love this.
Warren's $10 suburb is back.
All thanks to One Roof.
And it's back and even better
because there's $1,000 street.
$10 suburb, $1,000
$1,000 street, all thanks to...
Signs sealed delivered.
Yeah, One Roof.
Browse homes for sale or rent
with the One Roof app.

Now, here's how it works.
I randomly generate a suburb
in this beautiful country of ours.
We then say the suburb,
and if you are in that suburb,
you call us in 0800.00.
You must prove to us
to our satisfaction that you're indeed in.
that suburb and will you claim to be you must say what street you're on.
We lock in that street. That street is written, well, our street is written on an envelope
and it's been given to Shannon 10 minutes ago. You can both agree. Yes. There's no foul play here.
When you prove to us that you're in that suburb and say what street you're on,
we'll open the envelope and see if that street matches if it does, as Fletch said,
thanks to one roof, $1,000. Today, the suburb and if you're in the suburb, you need to call us right now.
Petone.
Oh, okay.
Petone.
So what can I tell you about Patoni?
Did you know it's the oldest European settlement in the Wellington region?
Settled in 1840.
It flooded constantly.
Yeah, because it's right by the beach and they had an island.
They used to send all the sick people.
The quarantine island.
Yeah, quarantine island.
Well, if you're listening, you're in Patoni right now.
0800,000.
You used to call it Pet 1.
We use the New Zealand Post bound
for the suburb.
Because how far out does it go?
No?
Not as far as you would think.
Yeah.
Okay, well, Michaela, your first three.
Good morning, Michaela.
Good morning.
Whereabouts in Petitone are you?
I don't pack and say that.
Well, outside Pack and Say.
Okay, so what, let's just have a look there, Vaughn.
We're just bringing up the Google Maps, just so we can.
Yep, according to this, you'd be in Patoni.
What street would you be on there?
Um, this is, or the street name is Gere Street.
Which Gere Street?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know it.
Oh, yeah, I can see Gere Street there.
Yeah.
How would you like, Haley, is the resident there?
How would you like her to prove that she is indeed where she says she is?
Well, and what businesses aren't there around?
Like, can you see on the Google Street view?
Yeah, I can see someone.
Yeah, yeah.
What's around you, Michaela?
I can see a Thompson auto, is it automotive?
Okay, let's just, we'll just look in here.
Oh, there's my pack and save.
to spin round.
Yeah.
I'll go for a little wander down this straight.
I think Google Street.
Yeah, on the corner there.
City Fitness.
Okay, what's under City Fitness?
From your angle, you might not be able to see the sign.
Is there anyone around you in the car park, like walking around?
What, are you there?
No, no.
You've been through this before.
Is there anyone there that can verify that you are, in fact, where you say you are,
like walking past?
No, okay.
I'm happy with this.
She said the city finish.
She said the automotive.
I tell you something triggering here.
It's Google Street View last took a photo of this roundabout in June 2021
and petrol was under $2 a lead.
Don't look at the petrol sign.
Well, I tell you what, Michaela.
Yeah, we'll award it.
We'll lock that in $10.
If you've won $10 to being in the suburb,
it will instantly transfer you that money now.
And quite a painful process.
It is. Yes.
Just get your bank number ready.
Yeah.
Producer Shannon has delivered the envelope with the $1,000 street in the...
What street did you say you were on?
Gare Street.
Gear Street.
Yeah.
Opening up the envelope.
Jackson Street's a big street.
Thanks to...
Great coffers and shops and stuff.
Well, thanks to One Roof, our $1,000 street today, if you're on the street, you win the $1,000.
Is Cuba Street?
Cuba Street, Mrs. Jackson.
Wait, do they have a cubist...
They've got a cubistret.
It's short.
Leaks to the ocean.
Okay.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Oh, mate.
Cubistry is a lot.
Yeah, Michaela, unfortunately, missing out on the...
Was it even close that street, or is it ages away?
No, she's a few blocks now.
Oh, age as way.
Yeah, that's all good.
10 to all good.
All right.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay.
Open up your banking app.
Formal painfully.
Oh, yeah.
Jock down your bank details now and instantly
transfer that from his personal bank account.
Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day,
do-do-to-to-to-to-to-to-do-to-do-d-do-d-do do-do do-do do-do.
Well, it was the last-minute tact.
I've tacked.
Wound the boat, sail, tack.
Real Dean Bark attack here.
Yeah?
Because I got a message from a listener
called Alex.
She's a professional traveller.
But you said Alex, I immediately thought of a man.
No, Alex.
You're so sexist sometimes.
I've got a real problem.
Yuck.
Yeah.
Alex can be bored.
A professional traveler.
Yeah, she's a professional traveler.
Like, unimplored.
She's traveling all around the world.
Oh, fun.
Oh, cool.
I'm just jealous.
Yeah.
She said you probably already have
tomorrow's Diabolical Royals fact of the day.
But if you're still in need, here's one.
I learned about it.
from my tour guide the other week in Nepal.
In Nepal.
Now, Nipple, they just elected a rapper.
Yo, yo, yo.
I beg your pal.
Nepal, Nepal, what's it, what's up, what so.
And his first thing was to do exactly that he did a rap.
I'm not even joking.
Nepal's the leader of the country.
Ballendra Shah takes charge after landslide.
Balindra.
Do these.
Because remember they had the Gen Z riots.
And so this is kind of why it's happened in Nepal.
He's a rapper.
riots would be pretty layback.
No, they throw a brick
through a bank and be like, oh my God, and then has
so much anxiety about getting arrested.
Why are you yelling at me? And someone to say,
you're not throwing that brick right. And they're like, well, I'm just going to go
on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't develop
a sports arm. I grew up during the pandemic.
I didn't get a sports arm. No one insists
that I do anything.
I can't throw a brick. I've got other skills.
Your tone about me throwing the brick
really threatening. And so I'm going to respect
my piece. It's like the way you gendered that brick.
misgendered, sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah, cancelled.
And I'm filming this, by the way.
Yeah, I was just about to say, and I've had my phone on the entire time.
Hi, guys, I'm in middle of some riots here,
and this fellow rioter just told me I throw like a girl, and I said,
what?
And what's wrong with that?
How do girls throw?
Hi, guys.
Get ready with me to get arrested.
Just threw a brick.
And we're going to riot, and we've practiced our riot dance, and go,
eh, eh.
Riot stop the war.
Riot stop the war.
It's fun ringing on another generation.
It is, I can see why.
It's because we're old.
Getting older.
Millennials.
Jealous of your youth.
Okay, this isn't about that guy.
This is about in 2001,
when Nepal, the end result of this,
was actually Nepal becoming a republic.
Okay.
So they used to have a king and queen.
They had a royal family.
And this story is about Crown Prince Dependra of Nepal.
He had been dating his love.
lovely girlfriend, Deviani Rana, Nepalese aristocrat from a very distinguished family for
quite some time. But his mother did not like her at all.
Oh, goodness.
She said, you're not marrying her.
And the reason being, apparently, so the girlfriend's mother had a crush on the king,
this queen's husband when they were younger.
Oh, okay.
She's a bit of history here.
And she's like, this isn't no way you're not bringing that into the castle.
And so they've been dating for a while.
said, well, sweet, I don't want to be King.
I'm going to, what do they call the abdicate?
Yeah.
Just, I'm not interested in that.
And the family said, like hell you are, you're going to.
This is important.
So one night, June 1st, 2001, Dependra, comes to a family gathering drunk with an M16 assault rifle,
an MP5 machine gun and a pistol.
He kills his entire family.
Wow, that's so.
My goodness me.
That's a bit OTT.
Yeah.
Could we sit down and figure this out, perhaps?
Yeah.
He shot his whole family, everybody, and then tried to shoot himself.
but didn't get it done.
We didn't try as hard.
Because he was still alive
and he was the
next in line
he's in a coma with a horrendous
head injury, he's crowned king of Nepal.
Right. He is crowned king to Pendra of Nepal
on June 2nd. While in a coma having
shot his entire family and then tried to shoot himself.
He ran for three days while unconscious
in an intensive care unit and then
he died. Probably in those three days
got a lot more done than some country's leaders.
Yeah, yeah, a lot of faffing about.
It was then passed on to his uncle who everybody really disliked.
Yeah.
So they pretty much got rid of the royal family.
Yeah, right.
It was sort of the last act of the royal family.
They were like, we can't depredger on these guys.
Now, see, I'll distance myself from that because it felt racist because it was a non-English name.
No, it's still funny.
As another white person in the room.
You just said Nazi, still funny.
Na, he's done that thing.
Wow.
We've thrown us under the bus.
I'm out.
I think you're going to host this show alone?
Oh, no, please don't.
So in 2008, after that whole Shabuzil
and the terrible letter afterwards,
it was declared a federal Democratic Republic.
Lovely.
And the 240-year reign of that family,
done and dusted, the museum where, sorry,
the castle where it all happened,
the palace is now a museum.
You can walk through in the...
Oh, wow.
The bullet holes are being preserved.
You can be like, that's where one hit.
Wow.
Okay.
So today's fact of the day,
and the last one for the atrocious,
from Royals.
Yeah.
Is the story of Crown Prince, Alex Dependra.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day.
Uh, do-d-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do do-do do-do.
Play Z-M's Fletch for in Haley.

Okay, Rebecca McDonald's NZ 89.
It still has to be a new one not taken.
Yes, yes.
It still has to be.
All your other stuff, it'll kind of like,
You can do this on, is it, Apple Mail?
You can change it so it looks like it's a silly, nonsensical email if you're signing up to something,
and you can just stop that happening, but they can reply to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like an anonymous email address.
It's like how the Dosh and the G-Mails doesn't matter.
What do you mean it doesn't matter?
So if you were Carl Dott Fletcher, if I did Carl Fletcher, it still gets sent to you?
Really?
Why did they do the dots?
No idea.
Weird.
Brindley Stent taught me that one day.
comedian. She was just like... She's more than funny.
Yeah, she's more than funny. And then I tried it
out, because I've got a dot in mine.
Yeah. You'll never figure it out.
And it doesn't... It's fine.
Yeah, right. Really? I'm going to try it on mine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this is a question we want to ask
this morning, because we have talked in the past about, like,
tell us you're embarrassing
Gmail name or your early email name.
Yeah. But I want to know if there's been a point where you've been
embarrassed by how bad your email name was.
Oh, my God, yeah. Ball rolling? Because you're at,
like, say you're checking in somewhere and they're like, we just
need your email address or you're on a phone call to a call center.
It just needs your email.
Yeah.

Big tits.

You're like, oh, far out, man.
She's right.
The dot doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
The dot and the Gmail does not matter.
Isn't that just insane?
Okay.
All right.
We'll get the ball rolling.
Yep.
who asked on Instagram had a couple of responses.
Ila said, my mum reading hers out.
I'll skip the front of it, but the end of her email is
Jonesy 69 at gmail.com.
Because she was born in 1969.
Oh, so she doesn't know that that means nice.
Well, no, she'd know now, surely.
Does she?
How old are you if you're 69?
If you were born in 1966.
Yeah.
Yeah, 56 and 57.
Yeah.
Nice.
You know.
Nice.
You know what it means.
Oh, my Jonesy.
Nice.
I moved to China and made a new email address
and put Beijing.
except I spelt Beijing wrong.
Oh no.
And everybody, everybody that I gave that email to
I'm trying to tell me, you've spelt that wrong.
Yeah.
Imagine if you spelt Beijing like B-A-Y.
Bay-J?
I'm going to Beijing. I'm going to
Beijing. Okay, well, 0800.
dials at em is the number. You can text through as well.
9-6-96. We want to know
when did your email address
embarrass you. Great news from
Gmail who have said if you've got an embarrassing
Gmail address name
that you can link
another address to the same account.
I just walked out of the studio into the producers both
and I heard Shannon repeating someone's email back to them.
I was like, oh my God.
Yeah, so we want to know not what it was,
but I mean, I guess what it was,
but how it embarrassed you, like when you had to use it?
Yeah.
Or like what happened?
It was Sarah.
Sarah joins us.
What's your email address, Sarah?
And when has it embarrassed you?
So it's not actually mine, but I work in a customer service-based role.
So I'm sending out emails quite frequently.
And there's a few that sort of sprang to mine.
I've had a pimple popper, a stoner for life, life cell L-Y-S.
A couple of 420s in there.
Yeah.
I wonder, because you say customer service,
but I wonder if anyone working in like recruitment gets this
and they see someone with like stoner for life at Gmail
or like, and you're just like, you're not giving that person a job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Welcome to HR, Mr. Skuck 69.
So good. Sarah, thank you.
Janie, what is your email?
Hi, guys. Hi.
You've got an email that's embarrassed you at some stage?
Yeah, absolutely.
So it was in the 90s, yes, I'm that old.
And my email address was too long.
Excuse you.
Two lines on my business card.
And it was, are you ready?
Yes.
Janie.
Dot Badley hyphen creech at Diversified.
Dot software.
Dot systems.
Dot Europe.
Dot limited.
Dot co.
com.
Oh, for God.
I hate it.
Do you know, even I've got to.
Wait, so you worked in software and systems and you couldn't work out how to get a
shorter email.
Yeah.
Tell me about it.
It's that for epic.
Yeah.
God, I just like, I skip filling out my email
address on forms. You know, when you're in a story
checking in somewhere, just leave it blank. I don't care.
Oh, you're saying. And it's not even
that long. Yeah, it takes me
half an hour to write it out as well.
So I go, Janie, thank you
some messages.
Um,
hold on.
Can I say up the bum no about this?
No. Your mic was on and we heard.
Well, you might as well. I won't say that one then. Okay.
An embarrassing email address, I had as a teenager
that was something I can't say.
I just check a flitch. He doesn't want him to say it.
At gmail.com.
Can you tell me off, Mike?
What it was?
It was up the bum, no babies.
Oh.
No, I said...
No, don't...
Definitely don't say that.
Get the mics back on.
That was off here, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
The reason being, I was terrible at remembering
to take my contraceptive pill,
so my friend had the theory
that if this is my email,
it would remind me
because I check my email every day.
Yeah, every day.
There's a...
I just said a reminder on my phone or something.
Keep your text coming in.
9-6-9-6.
We want to know when you're email.
address embarrassed you.
We're talking about your embarrassing email
addresses. Whatever minger
at hotmail.com, somebody said I had.
I just spout it out for
people. Yeah, WHA?
Yeah. Also, people are telling me
Fletch the mics weren't off before.
Did they hear I say...
I see when I said the email address is up the bum no baby.
I've turned the mics off, 100%.
There's no way that made... 100%.
No way that went on ear.
Turn them off quickly?
It was up the bum no babies, say that way.
Yeah.
Turn them back on.
Yeah.
People think that we don't know how to do radio.
Excuse me.
I don't come to your workplace in terms of your job.
I've been pushing these buttons for years.
He knows when he's pushed them on and off.
I know on and off.
Yeah.
Okay.
My first email was...
You better actually, when I think about what we talk about off here.
You better know how to turn them.
Monobrow Barbie at Hotmail.com.
My sister made it for me.
Applied for my first job with that.
And got it?
Did they get the job?
Okay.
A mum ordering school books for her kids.
and her email was I love gingermen at gmail.com.
And we do.
Shout out.
966 if you're a ginger.
The thing is,
and this is why this news from Gmail is great,
is because you sign up to everything using it,
and you just stuck with it, aren't you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My friend's mum's initials are BJ,
and her married name is Bulls.
Her email was literally something like BJ balls and a couple of numbers.
No, you just go with something else, right?
Like, I don't know, tennis lover.
Yeah, exactly.

Turn the mics off.
Up the bum, no babies.
Maybe.
Hold on, because somebody else has just messaged
to say the mics are definitely not off.
I've heard you say up the bum, no babies.
Now I've said that on air.
Sorry.
Oh my God.
Okay.
To the broadcasting standards authority, we do apologize.
For that, just made it on air that one time.
We'd just like to sincerely apologize for people.
I'm appalled.
Yeah, and you should be.
Thank you.
So apologies to our listeners.
Just a moment of reflection.
We know we've crossed a line.
Yeah.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
It might's supposed to be off.
Especially on air.
I was 12 when I set up my Hotmail
Candy Lips 69er at Hotmail.com.
I was 12.
I didn't know what.
Candy lips could be interiated as.
You don't know what the number is.
I don't know what a 69 meant.
That's so funny.
Someone, by the way, oh my God.
The person whose email address was,

Yeah.
Because she couldn't remember
to take a contraceptive pill.
Oh, sorry, Mike's back on.

Didn't work.
I had a baby when I was 17.
Side note.
You had an email address called

She should have done it up the bummer.
She wouldn't have a baby.

Back on.
Back on. Yep, Mike's back on.

Real minger, too.
I'll say it.
Especially after you got rid of that ear.
And I don't like the paintings either.
They're a bit splotchy for me.
I went to the whole.

The museum, I think the time would have been.
I would have gone for Anne Frank's house, too.
Second round.

Irrelevant.
Family guy is the greatest show to ever be made.

Other pets and what were their names?
Oh, yeah, I have another little three-legged ginger cat called Arthur.
They lose its leg.
How did it lose its leg?
That was before I had to have a...
Diabetes.
I think he got too close to a car.
Oh.
They do that, eh?
Or diabetes.
Yeah.
Serious, yeah.
But I'm a competitor, and I got him when he was sick.
Oh, wow.
I was a cat.
Well, he was a rescue cat as well, but I...
Yeah, right.
Well, that's so nice that you rescue cats like I do.
No, his is a pure breast.
You just feel like a better human, don't you?
I just feel like these people that buy breast.
Red, you know, by breeders.
It's disgusting.
I think they're more thankful.
Yeah.
You'd find that, eh, with Majumari.

What did you wrongly believe as a kid?
God, we were fed some stuff like you're going to drown if you ate a biscuit and then got in the pool.
Mine was definitely, I thought the other side of the world was over the winery, Amata Hill,
when I lived in Eastbourne.
It was hard as a child
to grasp scales.
It really.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Producer Shannon thought
that Bob Dylan was black.
I think she only just realized
he was white when Timothy Shalame
was playing him.
Yeah.
She did.
She said her moment of recognizing
when they cashed
Timothy Shalamey and she said
this is going to be a problem.
That's whitewashing.
Did you actually think
that was going to be a problematic movie?
Yeah, I truly did.
And I also grew up thinking
I owned a milk company
because my last name's trim
and I was like, well, that's my name.
It's on all the milk.
So this wasn't, I think,
my family owns it. It was literally, I think I might own that.
Yeah. And also I grew up on a golf course in a Green Keeps house. I was like, we own a
golf course too. I used to think we were so rich because I was like, we own milk and golf.
Wow, milk money and green money. Wow, must have been a real shock when you moved into
meth towers and realized, yeah, humbling downfall, yeah.
You know, it was a very funny, chick was sharing something online that she grew up thinking
she was Chinese and she would tell people, I'm going to grow up to rule China one day because
she went to a school that was predominantly Chinese people, but she wasn't Chinese.
Right.
Jesus, why?
You just...
Then kids are dumb, eh?
Yeah.
Thick as...
Thick as anything.
Thick as shit.
Thick as anything.
Well, this is one I want to know.
What did you believe wrongly as a kid?
We'll get the ball rolling with a couple of...
I love this because I was the same.
When it was first on TV as a kid.
I used to think that the stars in their eyes transformations were in real time.
They'd go like, tonight, Mike, I'm going to be Freddie Mercury.
Walk out, walk straight back in his Freddie Mercury.
I mean, I thought there was a machine back there that would just be like,
I don't, I never believe that, but it was incredible television magic, wasn't it?
Because it was seamless.
Low budget and pre-CGI.
Yeah, it was.
It was beautiful.
Have you ever watched some of the European countries, stars in their eyes where, like, some white woman will be like, I'm going to be Stevie Wonder and come out full black face?
I mean, that happened here, Vaughn.
And she does full black face and also full blind eyes.
Yeah.
It happened here, flesh, but in the decade known as the 90s.
This is like in the last few years.
Oh no, we don't do that.
Don't bring up that memory.
Yeah.
I believed growing up when I was a kid that one of mum's boobs did juice and one did milk.
It was the juice boob and the milk boob.
Orange milk.
Wait a minute, what are you talking about?
Is Bob Dylan really white?
He's so white.
He's like a skinny, scrawny white guy.
Skinny, his white guy.
Yeah.
Okay, 0800 dial to him, 966, add to the list.
What did you grow up believing as a kid?
Right now. We're talking about what you believed as a kid
And some beauties are coming in.
My mum told me that the doctors tied my belly button in a knot
And if you played with it, it would unravel and you would deflate.
The hell else I'm going to sniff my delicious belly button fingers.
Well, just poke gently.
It wasn't until as a student nurse that I embarrassed myself with this theory.
My God, to being a stranger.
What?
Oh my God, no, you did not.
Yeah.
What did you think happened when you, like, stood on a prickle or a prick yourself with a pin?
Yeah.
Okay, well, some calls in. Katie, what did you believe wrongly as a child?
Morning.
I thought that everyone lived in black and white in the older day.
I thought there was the older days that were black and white too.
I asked my nana about it.
Yeah, I thought really to be older.
Yeah, yeah.
What was it like before it was colour?
They didn't have colour.
They just had black and white.
Yeah, they did.
So good.
Katie, thank you.
Emma, what did you wrongly believe as a child?
So I thought that cheese was a vegetable
Because mum would always put it in our salads
I grew up on a cheese salad
Rules, eh? Rules having grated cheese on top of a salad
Yeah, cheese in a salad feta, grated any cheese
Yeah, it's, I mean cheese supreme
Could we maybe put this to Parliament
Get a member's bill up there that cheese is a vegetable?
I think so, it would solve a lot of my problems
Yeah, maybe too, maybe not financially
But five plus a day
Five plus a day cheese, yum
Thank you Emma, let's go to Elise
Elise, what did you wrongly believe as a child?
Oh my gosh, okay.
I just want to start by saying, I grew up in the 90s, you know, trauma parenting.
I was watching the Pink Floyd video, music video, where the kids go along the convey about
and drop into wherever.
And my dad turned to me and said, how do you think baby oil's made?
Yeah, it's weird.
Dad's had a lot of throwaway comments that stuck with us for generations and decades, eh?
I always had nightmares for weeks.
Right, you grew up thinking baby oil was actually.
made from moolied-up babies.
Good baby.
Yeah.
How do you think they met,
did you think about how they made it clear?
What was your thought process there?
You didn't really go that far.
Yeah, just that it was oily baby.
Look out the trauma.
Dad very thought it was like the lighter version of those kids
literally going into a meat grinder in that video.
It's like, oh, make it joking about a big baby,
and then it's terrified you even more.
So good, Elise, thank you.
Have a great Easter weekend.
I was told when I was younger that if you have your hat on,
your hair can't breathe,
and it'll fall out because it's dog.
so that's why
is that why
we're bored
wears hats
because they wore hats
out of them
smothered the hair
my mum and her
best friend would tell us
kids that have
were outside after dark
there would be a man
called Jimbo
that would come and get us
and were so terrified
they used us
as an excuse
when they had their friends
over drinking
to know where the kids
were and we wouldn't
be running around
the neighbourhood
I guess it worked
right?
Yeah
he didn't run away
my dad used to tell us
that Aoli
was pronounced
Ariola
and so we'd go to
a restaurant
and ask for
ariola with our chips
he thought
this was hilarious
when
So good.
In public.
Yeah.
I grew up believing that cows started out as black,
and the more they filled up with milk,
they would be white.
Used to show how full the cows were of milk.
So the white cows,
lots of milk.
Brown cows did chocolate milk.
Yeah.
I was always trying to leave,
who did the pink milk and the yellow milk?
That's wild.
Yeah.
You know what to blow their mind is the cows with windows in them.
Oh, yeah.
Those scientific cows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They put windows in cows.
They can mind-long.
Watch their digestion.
stuff.
I was told because my parents didn't
like peanut butter and it was never in our house, that it was
made by people chewing up the nuts and
spitting it into jars.
So I never ate it because that's out of disgusting to me.
You go to a trip to the supermarket and you just look
at all the jars, you're like, wow, that is quite
disgusting. Yeah. I grew up believing
that everybody had their house burned down at least
one time in their life. What?
Why?
I lived for years
and fear of it happening to me.
I went to a young, drove past the church.
a wedding happening and all the men were in suits
and then I assumed they all went along
on that day and the bride picked which
one she wanted. Yeah.
Which would work really well. My parents told me if
ever turned the car radio up to maximum it would blow the car
up so that was their way of their having the volume
too loud. You keep ZDM loud
dear listener? Yeah, loud. Not loudest
because that will affect
the hearing. I thought Fiji
was an island so small you could walk around it in two
minutes like you know when you'd have a deserted island
and a car turn.
Yeah. I got told though
I was part Croatian all my life.
Why?
I had a DNA test done.
Apparently the family also thought they're in Croatian.
Not an ounce of Croatia.
How'd they come up with that lie?
They might have gone through Croatian on the way out of Europe.
One of the grandparents was like just wanting to...
Yeah, spice it up by saying they were a Dalmatian.
Yeah, wild.
My family had a sheep farm.
I grew up thinking that everything had a tail, humans included,
and they chopped it off when I was a kid like they do to the lambs.
Believe that till I was nine.
My family never corrected me on that.
Yeah, they probably found that quite amusing.
Hmm.
More people are going to believe Bob Dylan's white.
Just mind-blowing that you've heard of Bob Dylan
and know enough about Bob Dylan but never thought to be like,
yeah.
What does this guy look like?
Yeah, no.
You'll never see a whiter guy.
The Demand's Podcast Network.
There is a professional baby namer.
How is that a job?
I think you just give it to you, that title to yourself, right?
And that's your job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although maybe she does charge couples.
Yeah.
You know, really indecisive couples that, you know, can't figure it out.
with that all the time.
Maybe.
Well, her name is Colleen.
Yeah, Colleen Slagin.
Pretty no one.
Okay.
I'm professionally baby named her.
Yeah, Colleen Slagin's rough.
So, okay, here's the story from last year.
I just Googled like what's an average price.
Oh, my God.
Are you having a baby?
I don't want to announce it now.
Oh, I know it's early days, but both we're so excited for you.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, so $200 US dollars for simple,
consultations to over
$10,000 or even up to
$50,000 for
luxury tailored naming services.
Yeah, but then it'll be like spicy
spicy mic. Do you know what I mean?
I think of your pardon, you can't say that on the radio.
I mean,
Mick spicy is one thing, but saying
spicy is not.
No, but then they just
come up with these really sort of weird
names when you paint him that mark.
Like some ancient exotic herb.
Elon Musk baby names.
Yeah.
We joke about it, but people make some serious money naming other people's babies.
Yeah, totally.
So Colleen Slagin, great name.
She's gone viral on TikTok because she reviewed the top 100 girls' names from 1986.
So that's just before I was born.
Okay.
To find out which ones have not aged that well and feel a bit like yuck now.
Yeah.
And then no longer anywhere near the top 1,000 names today.
Okay.
The names she declared to be officially out, 9-6-9.
six on the text machine if you want to contest this
or you are in fact a
Heather. Oh, is that out?
Out. Although did you just see they
cast Heather Graham in the White Lotus?
New White Lotus season. I thought of
Heather Lockler and Heather Graham when you said that.
Yeah, but they were, they would be what, 50s
now, right? Yeah, so that was a real
80s. Heather Lockley might even be in the 60s. Yeah.
Real early 80s name, wasn't it?
Heather's out. Erica's out.
Courtney is out.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, there's a real 80s. All of these names are real
80s names. And Lindsay, as a
woman's name.
I know a male Lindsay
quite like that for a man.
It's a bit, it's an old name.
Lindsay.
I'm Lindsay.
Tar is out.
In my mind, Lindsay's a gay old
recluse.
Yes.
Hello.
Hello.
Who didn't come out until he was like 50.
But everybody knew.
It was just unspoken because his parents
were still alive and they were really like,
they had all the money and they weren't going to give it to him if he was out.
So he's right.
And now he's like leather armchair, reclusive homosexuals.
Hello, Lindsay.
Living life, though.
Who runs an antique store.
He's heats.
Yes.
Yeah, loves old watches.
Oh, the antique still's just shut all the time.

Tara's out, Crystal is out and Brandy's out.
Dana, Tiffany, Brittany and Casey.
Oh.
And Shannon.
Oh, Shannon's out.
The name's out.
Yeah, well out, Shannon.
Well before you were even born.
Your name's out.
There wouldn't be baby Shannon's.
Well, I was named, my parents were watching rugby the day I was born,
and there was an Irish Shannon, and they said, yep.
Oh, Shannon.
It's the biggest river in Ireland, right?
Yeah, of course it is.
I knew that.
The Shannon, yeah.
The Shannon, is it?
Shannon just knows so much more than I do.
And it always shocks me.
Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry,
