Remember that text that said we're doing more for people who are struggling, paying for gas, than the bloody government?

Fletch for and Harley, Z&M. Big call. That's good, man. Well, your chance to win some free fuel this morning at 8 o'clock. The top six is coming up. An article yesterday about the goings on in the retirement villages. The sexual shenanigans of the retirement village. And I've got the top six other things going down at retirement villages that you'd never imagine.

Mate, it pops off there, eh? Really does. The sooner I'm in there, the better. They live in their best lives. Yeah, hell yeah. Next on the show, science. Science. We've got some science news, guys, and they've delved into hot chips.

Oh, yum. The Zat-N podcast. network. Well, science has delved into the hot chip, the humble hot chip. Man, I literally was just looking at a picture of hot chips. Because I'd said we're going to talk about hot chips. No, no, no. It's like, I didn't prepare any breakfast

and I've got a really long day, so I was got Uber-A-Eats a smoothie. But when you log into Uber Eats is a picture of a burger and chips first. Oh, yeah, it's in that prioritised. That's criminal. They've done that to me. Yeah. But how good a hot chip? It's the best. Well, science has found that When you take a hot chip from somebody else's portion,

it tastes better. Yeah, it does. It does. Like, it actually tastes better. Is it because it's unexpected? You didn't know you were going to get chips. And now you've got chips. A bit of forbidden fruit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't know you're going to get chips. You know, like the best kind of chips. Because, you know, and I'll say it, women are the worst at this. Oh, we are. I don't need chips. You get chips. I'm not having chips. No, I'll just get a burger.

I don't need chips on top of that. Or I'll get small chips. And then you feel. finish your small chips or you don't order chips and then you eat our chips. Yeah, because I'm like God, those chips look good. Are they crunchy? Yeah, they are good. Yeah. I might have a little, can I have that crunchy one? Give me that crunchy one. Well, that's the thing.

So they have worked out that they taste crispier, saltier and more delicious when you take fries from another person's portion. Yeah, totally. And yeah, they all just reckon it's basically because it's the stolen food taste better adage. Yeah, yum, yum, yum.

Or the forbidden fruit. I shouldn't be having this. Oh, it tastes good. That tastes good. My mom hates that I'll say when I get a plate, no, you can't have my chips. I want my chips. I'm going to eat my chips. And then I don't finish the chips. And then she's left with the cold chips.

She's like, can I just have my little portion while they're still hot? No, that's a false economy of chip. You don't know that there's going to be surplus of chip. Exactly. I don't know. But she's like constantly there's more chips. Constant that the history shows I'll always leave chips. Do you guys know anybody that,

won't finish a thing. Like on purpose they never finish a thing. They always leave a little if it's chips, they'll always leave a couple. That's a female thing too. A drink, they leave a tiny bit in the bottom. Maybe. It's that diet culture of women is like, I couldn't possibly finish it. No, I couldn't. Is that the retailily behind it? It's a little weak thing. It's almond mums.

It's almond mums. Oh no, that's too sweet. Far too sweet. I couldn't finish that. And then they get almost through and they're like, oh God, I nearly have. Yeah, they need to show that I have, I've got some restraint. Like nine-tenths of it. Yeah, I know. I wouldn't finish it. Leave a tiny amount. Yeah. I have an American friend say once, why do you guys always finish your plates?

Because we're raised that way. Because we paid for it, man. You pay, and also, like, if you've ever been to America, the portion size is like double. Yeah. It is huge. And we're not going to be like put if we don't finish our plate, dude. Yeah, exactly. That's the thing. It's like, finish what's on your plate. No? Are you vegetables? And then you can have some put it. I just met someone recently and she just

left a little bit. And we're all just looking at it like, you know, that's a cocktail, mate. You just paid $20 so you're going to... Oh, no, I'm done. They're going to come for that glass. Oh, no, I couldn't. I'm done. Sip it. Quick. Sit it quick. They come in for the glass.

Because I'm not a pig for one. I've got restraint. Two dollars is about to walk away. Two dollars is about to walk away. I think it is. I think it's an embedded in us diet culture thing where you go, oh my God, I'm not a hog. I'm not finishing what's on the plate. No, I'll always leave a quarter chip.

No, I'm a hog. I'll finish you everything. Yeah, same. I'm hurting it. Play Z-N's flesh for an inhalis. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six. Well, it's no. surprised me. We kind of get one of these studies

told me some yarns, especially if you know, cognitive decline has come into play and they're getting a bit forgetful. They're just sleep in anyone's bed whatsoever. They're just like, oh, walk into a room, sleep in a bed and then the other person comes in,

A strumpet? A strumpet. That's a strawberry-flavored trumpet. I'm going to be a menace. I love that. Why do we have a Boysenberry-flavored trumpet? We don't have a strawberry-flavored trumpet. That would hit hard.

But, you know, times are tough. You've got to eat what you've got to eat. And number one in the list of the top six things going down at retirement villages. It's drugs, baby. It's drugs. They're all on drugs. Class A? They've got those little pill containers full of all their pills. Yeah.

Those are drugs. Every single one of them. MDMA. They pop a spoonful of MDMA makes the heart medication go down. I don't think that's what Mary Poppins said. I don't think so. Yeah, Poppins. Poppins with your heart meds.

That's what Mary Poppins is always saying. That's the day's top six. Play. That ends, Flash Vaughan and Haley. We've just got the best listeners, eh? We do. They're like very seldom mean. Other radio stations, very jealous of our listeners. Yeah.

I know. I remember when I took radio, I never forget, Pax Society said to me, he was like, brace yourself. The radio listeners, they'll tear you to shreds. Not yet? No. And don't start now.

Don't you get it? Don't you get it? This is not an invitation. This is not an invitation. Now, I love... Oh, God. We need the Friends music, Vaughn. If we're going to talk about it.

about friends. Okay, so that is the song Rembrandt's. I'll have to go through it. I'll have to go through the entire Rembrandt's No, there's so many singles. So many songs. So many Rembrandt songs. Well, they did have many songs but they only had one that actually

is a... Man, they're my favourite band. I love the deep cuts. Yeah. B-sides and stuff. Yeah. Yep. So Lisa Kudrow, who is a comedic genius. If you haven't watched what's her, the online therapy one that she does and the comeback, which is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Good boy. He does four because usually does five and it always make. You always do five. Always do five. I've just been told to turn it up. Yeah, crank it, mate. This is their best song, you know? They've got other hits.

Yeah, but this is by far their best. It is. Anyway, so Lisa Kudrow's been doing... Okay, so this has had 303 million streams on Spotify. This version of the song, and there's like five versions. Their next most streamed song, just the way it is, baby, 37 million. Oh. Oh, that's still millions more than I would have expected.

Yeah, or that I have, or you have. To be fair. So, Lisa Cudrow is doing the publicity circuit at the moment because season three of the comeback, which is one of my favorite shows of all time. It was a show, it was years ago, like in the early 2000s, it was one season, the most flawless piece of art you've ever seen. And it wasn't renewed.

It was just one of those shows that people didn't watch. Then it became a cult classic and they came back 10 years later and did a season two and then it was the most phenomenal ending and now they're doing a season three and it's ending it. Okay so IMDB 7.9 out of 10

Rotten Tomatoes 82%. It is so funny she plays this. She plays an ex-sickcom actress So like a littleitating artist but nothing like herself and she plays Valerie Cherish the most cringe you almost can't watch

it's almost like Ricky Jervais's David Brent you almost can't watch. Anyway, so she's been doing publicity for season three, which I'm very excited for. But obviously, they talk about friends, you know. People talk about friends all the time. One thing that she's brought up is that a lot of the men working on the show

behind the scenes that some of the writers were a bit pesty. One of the writers said to her, went during a reading, can't the B word effing read? Can't that bitch even read? Wow. Isn't that absolutely terrible? She's not even trying. She effed up my line.

They're like barking. Apparently some of the in front of the live studio audience they were saying this. Oh wow. Apparently not very nice. But the friends cast themselves were all true, honest besties like us, genuine friends. Yeah. So money was brought up. This is unbelievable.

Aniston, Cox, swimmer LeBlanc and Cudrow, because sadly, Matthew Peres. Yeah. But his family or estate would be getting his car. His part? Yeah. How many millions, I'll say. How many millions do you think they're getting in residuals each year? Well, I remember a few years ago it was 20 million.

What are you watching? What's playing? I thought you're on the family plan. I am on family plan. I've just had to shut those windows. That's annoying. They were on 20 million US dollars each a few years ago. It's still that.

20 million a year, just plonk. Free money. Just plonk. For work that they did 25, 30 years ago. How many years? It's over 30 years since it started over 20 years. as a finish. Yeah, 2004.

Because it's one of those easy shows that TV networks and streamers can just play over and over again. And you're never mad. When it comes up, you're never like, I don't want to watch that. You're just like, yeah, I know this episode. I know it inside out at this point. Yeah. $20 million a year just gets plonked into their bank accounts. Why would you, I mean, I know they're all artists and actors and stuff.

I'm like, I'll just put my feet up. Yeah. I mean, David Schwimmer's got his Madagascar money. Sort of kind of still doing stuff. Jennifer Anderson's cranking it. She's probably the most successful to more. The morning show and movie movies. Did I read that Joey, Matt LeBlanc,

is going to do some kind of serious police thriller or procedural next year? I would love to see Matt LeBlanc in a serious role. I knew CBS crime series of the working title little Flint. In this series he plays a burned-out LAP detective forced into continuing a service

marking his first major role since his sitcom Man with the Plan ended in 2020. I love when comedic actors, take a little break, and later in life they come back a bit more rugged. Dark.

And they do like a dark role. Anyway, so today when you go to work to earn, what you earn, just know that the cast of friends for doing nothing gets $20 million a year. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley.

It's so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little. Today's silly little pole as the country gets a bit cooler. Winter imminent. Although there's been a lot of chilly days in the last couple

of weeks, a lot of snow around the place. People start in their fires around the country, in the South Island especially. Yeah, I can't wait to crack a fire. I only like, we live in Auckland, so I only crack about two a year. It's a waste. It gets a light of very often, do you? Yeah, but I can't wait. So romantic.

But I use a hot water bottle, because I don't like the feeling of electric blankets. Yeah, like they're slow-cooked feelings. just two every week. I've gone off. I was a kid that grew up with electric blankets because we grew up in a really cold house.

Yeah, yeah. A freezing old, uninsulated house. Yeah. So we grew up with electric blankets, but I'm off them now. If I go to a hotel and it's got, what I'll turn it on just to see if I'm back. It's yuck. I had too many nights where my mum would put the electric blanket on

and I'd come home as a teenager from, like, you know, I'd probably had some drinks. And I would fall asleep and you'd wake up in that sweat. Dry. Dry. Well, that is the question today for silly little pollen. It's about hot water bottles. Do you use a hot water bottle in winter?

A hotie. A hotie. A hoti. You know you're not meant to, but I always boiling water. Yeah, boiling water. Oh my God. Yeah. The jug completes its cycle.

Yeah. Yeah. I want to scold it. Blubble up. Bubbles out and gets your hand. I know. But my friend Irina, she woke up once in an ed burst and it burned to her. That's why every season.

they reckon you should just get a new one. Oh God, mine's five bucks. They're five bucks. They're ten bucks at the most. There were some at Woolworths and they had really cute outsides. Oh, the little slips. Oh, like a dragon and a rabbit and a kind of stry bear. Stop yourself from burning yourself too much.

With cuteness. Yeah, with cuteness. With cuteness. Do you use a hot water bottle in winter. The options were yes all the time, once in a blue moon or no never. Now, no never was 45%? Oh, yeah. I guess most people would have like heat pumps

Yeah Negated the need for the whole water bottle It's just nice because you can get into bed and it's not cold What about when it gets cold in the middle of the night And you've got to kick the hot water bottle away Oh I love it You've lost all your heat, get away from me Once in a blue moon at 31%

And yes all the time 23% Okay That's enough to tell me we should get some Fletch one and Haley Branded hot water bottles It's like a slip the sleeves Yeah Well you I don't think we should

should be associated with third degree burns. Hey, we've been associated with worse. Like, what if we have to do a product recall because our hot water bottles burst and burn our listeners? No publicity. It's bad publicity. I think that's bad publicity. Well, we've got burns victims in the burns unit. We'll send them a CD.

Oh, yeah. Put them in the majority of the Olivia Dean live in LA. Send them a CD. Sorry about your third degree burns there, Harriet, but we've picked you up with a Olivia Dean. 700. Yeah. In Olivia Dean.

Yeah. And some boons cream from the chemist warehouse. You've got to get that lid on. Real tight. Real tight. Real tight. Do you use hot water bottle in winter? It was what we've asked.

Some feedback on it. Jasmine said, I work at the Meatworks and wear shorts under my white. So I drive to work at 5am with a hotty on my lap every morning. Oh, that's nice. That's like the opposite of a heated seat. Yeah. Yeah, you're on the lap. Oh, you've got heated seats.

I hate heated seats. Oh, yuck. One had them on the other day. Oh, y'n't. And I'd gone up and it was like I'd just. You know, you do a shard. You feel like you've pissed yourself. Yeah, like you've done a little shart.

My, um, I get sweaty. My girlfriend runs cold. Your what? Oh my gosh. My girlfriend runs cold. That's good. We're getting used to this. Wow, you see that?

It's so weird when you can say. The minute she gets in the car, even when it's not cold, she'll turn on the seat. Right. I'm up to three. I'm like, are you all right? And she's a hot water bottle every night. See, my master has a seat cooler. Flows air up your ass.

It's gorgeous in summer because I run very hot. I had a seat cool. All the two. Keep the footh call. His name was Steve. Yeah. A bit of cold air, up you. Anyway, um...

What? It was a lost bit. Try something. Wait, you just said, girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you're on to Steve blowing cold air. Everyone's a bit bisexual these days. Fledge, keep up with it.

Sorry. Nude says... Nurt's... I work nights. So when I have my afternoon nap on the sofa before work, I snuggle up with a hot water and it gets to sleep. Oh, that's cute. It's so cozy and I love it.

Um, Beck says kids do every night. I will if it's freezing. Yep. colleague a family of hot water bottle users. Earl, no, I just answered. I run hot and yesterday still a little pole and now you're asking if I want to make something, make me run

even hotter. Yeah, true. Fair cool, Earl. He's also in Australia. Yeah, probably doesn't mean hot water bottle in a wheat sack. Have you seen the electric? Yeah, the show you have. I have, yeah, the chemist warehouse have them. You get them online as well. They're good for pain. Yeah, they are. And they're USB.

The USB. So they don't use lot of power. Yeah. You charge them up and that's it. You can put all your photos on them. No, that's a picture frame. That's a digital picture frame. Is that the same USB though?

Yeah, same USB. You can use the same cord. Plug it into your computer and put all your photos on it in case your computer crashes. Yeah, your hot water bottle. Yeah, there you go. Stacey said, they explode. I'll use a wheat bag or an electric blanket, but I'll

never use a hot water bottle. See, we can't be having branded hot water bottles. But we use a whole lot. But we use this whole their heat for all of 10 minutes. Yeah, we did is a waste. So wheaties are good when you do have a sore bit. Should a pain or a period or something. I'll put my wheat sack in the microwave for like 20 minutes.

I don't care. That shit is coming up. I want that thing uplaid. And I don't put a cup of water in there because it cools it down and makes it soggy. I just burn that thing. Well, you don't want humidity. You want dry wheat heat. You want dry wheat heat.

It stays hot or longer. Yeah. This is an advice, by the way. Terrible advice. It's terrible advice. Demi's got one in the office. She says I'm a big fan. Electric blankets are too hot.

Just puff the bottle out when you're warm enough. Great life advice there. I live in Queensland, baby. You need a hot water bottle or you will simply pass away in the colder months. So for today, Sillard Lepal, we ask if you use a hot water bottle in winter and 23% of you all the time.

The Fletchbourne and Haley, big pod. Get excited, guys. Get excited. It's happening. And it's, you know what? I'm ready. So I've got a theory. Okay.

I think Mamor is in town. This is Jason. Jason Mamor. I believe. Not Douglas Mamor. No, no, no, not Douglas Mamor. He's not as hot. Jason, I think Jason's back.

Here's my, here's how I've pieced this together. Right, this is Hollywood actor. Hollywood actor, Hall Pass, Jason Mamoa. And for those that have just seen my, I've ended my show, but it does end my last year's show with a story about Jason. Yeah, you got invited to a party at his house. I did, and everyone, um, not in his house.

No. Not on his pants either. Everyone's like, did it happen? Have you cashed it? Absolutely not. Have you seen this man's girlfriend? But he's back, baby. He keeps on coming back to New Zealand.

You've got to ask why. Now, when you are... Well, just working, he loves it here. You got to ask why. He keeps on coming back. Do you want to help out with this delusion? Hey! No, I'm kind of actively trying to distance myself from this.

Yeah. But it's getting desperate. It's giving desperate. No, I'm happy. Okay, here's my theory as to why he's here. We're filming... Minecraft too. Mindcraft.

Why he's here now, how I know he's here now. Remember when we interviewed, and it was so funny, and Jason said the F word like twice live on radio, and we just didn't stop him. We interviewed his band. Like six foot, whatever, and what are we going to do? Significantly larger and stronger than me. I'm not going to be able to stop him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We interviewed his band, Oof, ta, ta, ta, when they were doing their touring around when he was here last time. I saw their drummer. Oh, yeah. Kenny at Les Mills. Right. I was like, oh, yeah, there you go.

So the band's here. And then yesterday. Do they just go around? He did. He's Jason. You'd just go around and do pop-up concerts where he is. What do they're doing when he's like Minecraft and stuff? Just hanging.

Hang him, jamming music. Did you see that? So, oh, ta-t-tat. Jason's band did a pop-up performance somewhere in the States. And Kirk Hammett of Metallica just join them on stage. How fun's that? Yeah. So anyway, so the drummer's here at Les Mills, working out, getting buff.

And then yesterday I did a gig at Comedy Club in Auckland and next to it is a restaurant called Tanouki's Cave, which Jason has publicly said as his favourite restaurant. He's like, that's my fake, absolute failure. Even though the portions are small. I was going to say the portions are tiny. It's Yaku Tori, it's skewers. I bet that dude walks out of there with a hefty bill.

Oh, yeah, yeah. You've got to order so many plates. This is an amazing restaurant. Yeah, it's so amazing. So I went there last night before my gig. Did you get the cabbage with the... I got cabbage and mayo, of course, I got the chicken thighs, I got the deep-fried cheese.

I got the classics. Chicken livers? Yeah. I didn't get chicken livers. we got the scotch fillet with soy butter and yeah it was so good anyway so we were sitting there and I said this guy walk in

tall, hot, amazing and he hugs the waitress and I noticed he's wearing a melee vodka cap and I was like that's one of his crew and then a few people come in and they've all got the melee gear on. I was like his crew's here so he's on his way

so that means he's but was he at the restaurant? No he wasn't but I tell you what once I saw his crew arrive I gave my my tits a bit of a hitch up and you know what I mean? Really? Oh, my God. Somebody's messages 6-15, 7 can confirm, saw a memorial at the airport on Monday with Cliff Curtis. Yeah, we go.

Because they've bought that film studio. Yeah, they have that in West Auckland. Yeah, yeah. Cliff Tyker and Jace. Oh, he's here. Get ready to see me wearing a lot more makeup than usual in a proper bra for the first time in years. You know what I'm? Just.

You're ready for more insufferable behaviour. Yeah, honestly. I go a bit sort of loolally. How was the person you were with taking this at the restaurant? Yeah, it was a bit like, all right, calm it down. What am I? Am I here at all? What are my lipstick on a pig, chog liver sitting next to me?

Okay. No, got a kiss. Did, um... I'm not stalking him in his crew to that person. I'm not a stalker. I'm an invested in... It's getting a bit baby reindeer, you know? It's not baby reindeer.

I'm not going to go baby reindeer. But, you know, she kept that out and he slept with her anyways. Did he? Didn't he and baby Yeah, didn't he? Oh, did he? Did he? Did he?

He did do it, eh? No, he did. So keep up the crazy and they might just share you to make it story. The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod. If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says 15 miles to a Shannon's hat. The Shannon's Hap, baby.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, they're back. in there. Time for a Shannon's hack. They've been, I would say, woeful of late. Woeful is the perfect description for Shannon's access. Okay, Edgar Allan Poe, let's be a bit positive, please. It was poetry.

What? That was beautiful poetry. It was dark. It was dark, you know, 1700s poetry, for sure. Yeah. To be sure, set in Baltimore. You are promising us a hack today, Shannon, that will help with cleaning. Yes. Now, I know lots of people have sieves. I personally

don't. I've got a sieve. sieve happy. I got a sieve and a colander. Same. I don't want to brag. What's a colander? The big one for noodles. The pasta. Sips for baking. Yeah. I wouldn't put, I wouldn't put noodles in a colander because too many rogue noodles with snakes. They'll skate, sneak out of a hole. You'd use a sieve. I'm talking sieves today. Now, if I asked you what's the worst part about a sieve, what would you say? Cleaning it.

Exactly. It's also silver flour. Put it in the dishwasher. No. Okay. Check your privilege. The side of the road. No, it's not a dishwasher job. Did you ever get, we had a sieve growing up and it was a baking sieve and it was like a, yes. It was like a jug and you put it out and you turn the handle on the side to me. Love those.

We got in so much trouble if we washed it. Because mum's like, let it dry. It's got to be dry. It only ever has dry ingredients in it. Yeah, yeah. Like if it's cocoa at the end, give it a bang, bang, bang. Never, it doesn't dry properly. It doesn't dry properly.

No, they don't. She gets so angry if we wet it. Christine doesn't want to. rusty sieves. Or maybe Christine will benefit from this sieve hack. Exactly. So the worst part about cleaning it is when you put it under the water, the stream just makes one little clean line throughout it.

You know when you're cleaning it? You're like, okay, I've got to move every cubic inch. Maybe it's better if it's upside down. You've really got to like work it through the water. My hack for you today is to grab a tablespoon, just a normal spoon. Place it upside down so you've got dome side up. Yeah. Put that under the water.

Suddenly you've got a fountain, baby. I feel like I just jam it in the dishwasher for like, first-seye. No, no, no. My dishwasher is constantly dirty from doing this because it doesn't. It actually collects more of the stuff from the dishwasher than it gets into the whole.

Yeah, it does go. But I run a real good dishwasher these days because I'm separated. I run a really good. My dishwasher is so... Your house, your rules. Dude, the dishwasher stack. Everything gets rinsed before it gets put in the dishwasher.

I don't have the slop on the plates anymore. I don't have the slop on the plates anymore. don't have the sieve catching all the willy-nilly. You're not supposed to pre-writz your dishes. You're not. You're ruining your dishwasher. But when you pre-rince your sieve... Because I can run the dishwasher on a way shorter cycle.

I'm saving money. But your dishwasher is the... The thing is not cleaning it because it's trying to detect the dirt and you don't have any. I don't believe that the grey plastic spiny things... It's not going to believe it's a fact. It detects dirt. Yeah, do you have a robot? They're not detecting the dirt.

They are. They are spraying Willie and all nilly. Mip. I see a pee. Do you know what? Believe women. Meb. Believe women.

Me. Perridge. Me. Braved on cheese on a plate. Bravacado on a fork. Chef Peter Gordon, who has been honored by the queen herself, told me, you do not pre-w rinse your dishes. He's a chef.

He has been doing that. He started as a dishwasher. That's how chefs begin their career. He's got one of those big... Cachonk! Dishwashers. It comes down from the roof. No.

Well, all due respect to him. The skagree, Kyle and Jackie, I'm going to walk. I'm going to be able to work class. I would never talk to you like that for. Are you walking out on your $100 million contract? Don't tell people how much I earn you. I need to remain one of the people. I know, but I hate when I wash a spoon in the sink.

Yes. And it goes like that. But that's when you're not intentionally doing it. I'm saying you're creating a purposeful little fountain. But you're still trying to get water through the little holes. But now you've got a million little holes. I'm talking, you normally have to go cubic inch by cubic inch. Now I'm making a fountain.

Yeah, but I just hold it there and do that but with the dishbrush. And then if there's any... I just want to check that she knows what cubic inch means. Yeah, to be fair. Because it's a measurement of volume, not a... I think we're just going to let that slide. I was meaning... Squarespace.

Yeah, square. Yeah, inch by inch by inch. I think cubic inch is fine. No. Okay. Okay. It's not... I'm going to give it a two.

Get on the text mission. I'm going to give it a two. Shannon shared this with me previously because she has learned her lesson and maybe she needs to share before she shares on air. And I've been trying this and it works. Sorry.

I don't own a sieve, so I had to, you know. Outsource. Hey, we can actually come back to feedback on this hack, but I just want to say, someone's texted, my brother used to work for Fisher and Pichel. Capital letters they've switched to, Haley is right.

No, used to, your brother was fired because he was an idiot. Because he was like, it's invented dishwasher that hunts dirt. And they were like, get out of here, Darren. Take your stupid ideas about... You know, I would never talk to you like that. I'm not going to sit here and be spoken to like this.

I won't. I'm not walking away. That's some top end dishwasher shit. That's a US military level dishwasher. It's Bosch. Artificial intelligence. It's got big boche energy, doesn't it? It's got big boche.

It's not a hack I'm going to use. I'm going to give it two and a half. because it's not completely useless for stuff for me. Okay, someone's just blowing you out of the water, Shannon. Turn the sieve on the side. No. If you go, no. If you turn the sieve, 90 degrees.

You'll get so much more because it blows through. You will. It'll get so much more. No, I'm talking spoon fountain, baby. Next time you see a sieve, think of me. My kitchen taps got a switch on it, and it goes from stream to spray. Okay, how the other half lives. I have a spoon fountain.

Yeah, I'm here with my fancy dishwashers. You've got a spray house. Getting one of the new. If you're renovating a kitchen and not putting it in a spray nozzle. Not only have an 100 million dollars. Okay. A hundred million dollars. You all earn a hundred million dollars.

Oh yes. Yes, of course. We each have a hundred million dollar contracts. I'm not going to be spoken to like this in my world. Actually, Shannon, we would never talk to you like that. You do constantly. That's the whole segment is based on you speaking to me like that. Yeah, this whole segment is just calling you out for a crap hack.

It's 2.5. Just to avoid HR or I'm going to go to a third. Yeah, stunning. I'll take it. You'll take a three? You'll be blackmailed to a three. Yeah. Look, pity is the star. Text machine says negative one,

1.5 or 0. But the text machine also says 5 out of 5. Yeah, you just, you cherry picking. Right underneath the 1.5. Dendrick. Oh no, he's your 1.5, don't know. Shut up, Dedrick. Dedrick's a savage on the machine.

Oh, yeah, 5 out of 5. So, this on Instagram, not original, 1 out of 5. Amy messaged that. Where do you think Shedon's getting these hacks from? She's a TikTok generation. She's literally scrolling TikTok. Someone just said, this is made their morning, by the way, and it says three.

So I think we'll go three. Three. Yeah. We have been quite nasty to her to spot. Because you kind of called her out in the cubic inch thing. Yeah. I think it's important if you're going to say cubic inch, you can't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, inch squared. She meant inch squared. I would have gone with centimeter squared. What are we, Imperial? Yeah, well, I don't know what she said inches. I don't know. Got an American in the booth? Yeah.

Yeah, E. Ah, you know, whatever, I don't care. Someone said Food Fountain is a life changer, by the way, top marks. Oh, okay, well, okay, then I'm happy with three. We're going with three. Okay, we go on with three. Lock it in. Lock it in.

Yeah. If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says three stars max for shirt and tests. Three stars, baby. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Forn and Hats. We want to know now if you've quit a job or left a job real quick, like maybe just after a week or even a couple of days. So Helena Bonham Carter was the producers of the White Lotus's first pick. She was top of their wish list for season four. Right. So it's not that they had doubts about her ability as an actress. They wanted her badly and she'd said yes.

Mike White said It became apparent after day one That the character he had written for her Quote did not align once on set But I thought she was an actress Yeah you don't you Isn't that the sign of a good actress But she she has a style

And I wonder if it just didn't work Right Yeah right Right Then there were rumours of an on set clash with a co-star But Helena was like no That's not true Don't start drama where there's not drama.

And now she's been replaced with Laura Dern. Yeah, so that was kind of newsbreaking yesterday. Yeah. That she's replacing her. Yeah. But there's not like, something's... Oh, it's embarrassing. Something's a bit weird, eh?

Yeah, it's embarrassing. And it was a huge announcement. Like, it's always, White Lotus, it's always like, who's it going to be? And, like, actors really want to be on that show. God, yes. Like, they will do anything to be on that. And they don't get paid a lot. Like, everyone gets paid the same.

Do you remember that story? Yeah, yeah, that's pretty like. No, that's cool, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a set. fee and it doesn't matter who you are. How big you are. How big, like Walter Goggins last season

was getting the same as like, you know. One of the younger guys or something. Yeah, totally. Yeah, alphabetical billing too. So there's not like number one on the call sheet. It's alphabetical billing, which means that it's not going to be like the most famous person's name is first or whatever. Laura Dern's great.

40 grand an episode, all the actors make. Yeah, which is what, it sounds like a heaps of money. 320 for the season, but for veterans. Yeah, so the same for a veteran like Jason Isaacs or Parker Posey as for a first-time actor. Yeah. And they have to be on set for a long time. They stay at the hotel. You live at the hotel, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's filming, that's exciting. One of the greatest TV shows. Yeah, can't wait. But yeah. She just quit. Have you done this after a day or two or a week or so? Have you just said, no, this isn't for me?

Maybe you got to the workplace? You know, I just hate this. Yeah, I hate this year. Like, you know, you're just not feeling the vibes. You're like, something's off here. Yeah. You've got to give the vibes a chance to sit. Yeah, you do have to give it some teething room, but maybe you just know.

Like that. Balls to people that do that because, like, you've got to pay your bills, man. Yeah, I know. To walk away from a job? To walk away from a job. You're just like, no, this isn't for me. Or maybe you just like, it was your first day a week or first few weeks and you just broke something or you screwed up massively. You're just like, I'm not recovering from this.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, 0800, Diles at Em is our number. Give us a call. We want to know why do you quit your job almost immediately? Because Helena Bonham Carter, day one on set of White Lotus season four. The announcement was huge. She was in the cast.

Yeah. Quit, all was fine, not sure. But quit. Creative differences and all that kind of palaver. And you know what? It's not just actors. It's not just Helena Bottom Carter. It's not.

It's not just Hollywood. No, it's not. Mickey, why did you last one day at a cafe? I got a better ripper. Oh, okay. And was that awkward? Were you like, hey, so I'm out? Yeah, it was the day I was handing in my contract.

Yep. First off, I realized that I was working with somebody. What's your fingers, baby? Yeah, what's your fingers? Was that to me? My fingers were purposely twice as a knife. How did you know that? Yeah, no, I discovered I was going,

you can open the door. Open the door, it's okay. No, because we're on here. Don't open the door. How did you know I wanted to open the door? Don't open the door. How's you reading my mind like this? I found out I was going to be working with somebody who I had worked with in the past and we didn't get along.

Oh, yeah. It was a no-brainer to go with another job. Yeah. But, yeah, day one, handing in my contract and handing in my notice at the same time. Yeah, yeah. So here's that paperwork and here's the other one. That's so good. Thank you, Mickey. Thank you, mate.

Watch your fingers. I am going to go back to playing with this knife. You put the knife down on. And you've got a little bit of porridge in your bed. Thank you, Mickey. Vanessa, how long did you last? I didn't even start. Oh, okay.

So you got a job doing what? I was teaching. I was, yeah, I had applied for a job teaching. Okay. And then were you just like, you know what? I don't want to start. term one. I actually hate kids.

No, I actually was relieving there, and I found out that they didn't actually like kids making any kind of noise during class time. That sounds perfect. That's fair enough. Gorgeous. You were going to teach at the Fletch School of Shush Child. Yeah, pretty much. Right, and you were like, no, that's not how we learn.

We've got to express ourselves to be loud. Yeah, you're going to have fun. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'd actually been called into the principal's office while I was relieving because my class is making too much noise. Oh my God, they're children. I don't like the school at all. Yeah, that sounds about...

Yeah, fair enough. I mean, I don't like kids making noise, but that doesn't sit right, does it? Yeah, no, no, no, it's not quite right. But also, you know what I'm not. But also, shush. Well, on planes, shush, not at school, though, Vanessa, just on planes. Vanessa, thank you. Allie, what job did you quit early?

Oh, good morning. I quit dairy milking. I just, no. Yeah. Was it your first time doing it? Yeah, I had. Like, being in the shed, like, I've seen other people do it,

and I thought, oh, yeah, it looks easy enough. And it is, if you're tall enough to actually reach. I've got a short coin on our hands. But I was in, yeah, I am five foot. So I was in a hearing bone shed, and I had a crate, and I had to move the crate with me, and then the tails had shit on them, so they would, sorry, drink.

Yeah, yeah, they do. And sometimes they poo on you, don't they? Yeah, and I got chat on the day before. I didn't even go back on me. I was just, I'm done. I can't. Yeah. It's not for everybody.

It wouldn't be for me, Ellie. I'll happily drink a to-toe with a blue top. Oh, me too, but I'm not squeezing the tea. As someone who has milk cows, the worst way, the worst. The time of, you have to do one early in the morning and then one in the heat of the afternoon. I was only, lucky life.

I was only doing them early, so I didn't mind that because it gave me the rest of the day off to wash because it felt like I had spent five hours in the shower just to get rid of the shit's mouth. Yeah, this was not the job for you then. This was not the job to me. It's wild to me you even thought it could be. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I'm actually a teacher. and my kids are noisy so it's great okay great there you go and there's less shit well hopefully a little less yeah yeah

yeah less still some but less it's less yeah yeah yeah so good thank you Ellie some messages in

I started an early childhood centre in Perth and quit the same day there were four rooms three of these rooms had aircon and the room I was in just had a machine

that blew out hot air was the fan this girl from Southland struggled with the Perth heat enough let alone working in the hated room I said can I be moved to that

one of the other rooms they said no and I said sweet old quit then. See, I'm hot too hot. As a woman who runs hot, I'd quit if it was too hot. Sharon lasted a week in an orthodontist practice. I realised they didn't like children all looking in other people's mouths.

Quite disgusting, really. Did you study? Did you think, did you look in a couple of mouths before you went? Yeah. What drew you to teeth in the first place? Chavon says, I larsed one day at a shoe retail store because someone was standing in the corner

staring at me or shift. It gave me the creeps. I never went back. I felt like they were at moments away. from putting their genitals in a shoe. Oh, yeah. Are you going to shag that shoe? Are you going to put that?

I don't want to be here if you're going to put that. It's giving big genitals in a shoe. No. I hope they throw that shoe out. Yeah, yeah. Please don't resell. I once left a company because the moment I joined us, started getting a lot of questions about where I was from.

I said New Zealand, know where are you really from? From, from. They kept asking me. The more more, more I decided it was a bit racist. So I... Yeah. You just doubled down, eh? Yeah.

I was laying two. Rilled up grass. Not like artificial turf, you know, in Australia. Oh my God, I love that grass. No, I don't. But I don't like when you can see it, but it settles. Settles and the weeds grow up in the gaps, and I've seen some people have some horrid situations with the rolled out.

Oh, it's beautiful. I attack the weeds on my lawn by having a lawn of weeds, and it's green. Right. Do you know what I mean? It's just looks like lawn, but it's just all weeds. Grow, grow, grow, grow, always green. Yeah, always green. So I got there to the end of a full day of laying.

walking up and down hills, had to wear full PPE as well. Longsleeve shirt, long pants, wide broom hat for sun protection because of like... It's nuts in Australia when you see it's really hot, but they have to wear long sleeve because it's to protect the skin from the sun. Steel cap boots, 40 degrees. I wasn't allowed to roll the sleeves up because of safety. I quit after that day. I ran the next day.

I said, look, I just... It's not for me. Absolutely. Can't handle the jandal. That's what I'd say. I had a new CEO join our company. Oh, cute. He came from overseas and the first staff meeting he introduced himself.

cracked a few rugby jokes, tried to warm up to a certain team, but after that meeting, we never saw him again, apparently left the company later that week. Oh, as CEO. Yeah. Cracked a few rugby jokes? That's not what you want, hey. The chief executive officer.

Yeah. It's not being for them. Day one, I was told I was only hired as I was a white female so people could understand what I was saying on the phone. Oh, my God. I'm out of here. Don't like that very much. Yeah, no thanks.

Yeah. Um, my brother used to work on the ski fields in the US, stuck around at the end of the season picking up laboring jobs. One day he was selected to work at a recycling plant. His job was to take the lids off recycling milk bottles that have been sitting out in the sun for days. Ooh, yeah. Vominer due to the smell left that same day. I mean, someone's got to do it.

Could we be taking our lids off? Yes. You don't recycle the lids? The lid can't be recycled. Why has no one never ever told me that? So many people have told everyone. No, they have never. They're like advertising.

They've told me about it. They've told me about the plastic bags. Anything smaller than an envelope we don't recycle. Because it falls in the machine. It doesn't, it gets put in the bin anyway. I just can't keep up these days. I'm putting everything in the bin now. Now?

Now. Have you seen this guy's bin? George is agreeing with me. Eco terrorist. George of Bert. With her takeaway cup. Yeah. On from 10 o'clock this morning, eco-terrorist.

Wow. The ZAM podcast network. Play ZM's Flashworn and Haley. How do you say this word? Analysis. Analysis. Got the front half of it really caught me off. Gosh.

Yeah, I was really going to hit that. A new analysis of 200,000 people across 23 countries. This is a big study into why you should let go of grudges. Found that forgiveness may function as a psychological ideal, not just a moral one. It's actually good for your health to forgive people and not hold on to these grudges. I don't. a big fan of this, not holding... People who forgive more consistently reported

higher well-being across mental health, relationships, sense of purpose, and financial stability either. I don't think you have to forgive someone. You just have to let it go yourself and move on. They might have done something bad, right? You don't have to forgive it. Just move on. Leave it in the past. It gives them power, right, over you.

What you're saying is they'll keep. What you're saying is they'll keep. What you're saying is hold on to it long enough that they forgot and then they'll keep. That's a time to strike. It's a dish. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm received. It is a deliberate decision to release anger and resentment.

But when you hold on to grudges, it's you that's suffering. Yeah, exactly. You're the one who's anger and resentment is an awful feeling to feel. You do this, Vaughn. You hold on to too much stuff. You've got to let it go. You've got to let it go. Who cares?

Water off a duck's back. One's going to wait me up at 2 o'clock in the morning. When I need to be awake. Just sort of general world anxiety. Yeah, there's pretty enough going on. Yeah. I don't think I've got one at the moment. Because I won them all.

So you know, some people... It's not like... It's not it. Do you know something, apparently, Nigeria, Egypt and Indonesia scored the highest for forgiveness. The UK was the lowest.

Yeah. I'm not sure where we are in this study. The US was right in the middle. And you can actually, if you are a problem, if you are a problem resenter, and you actually really struggle to let go of this, there is forgiveness therapy. You can go to.

Yeah, because people who whole lot of things are famously willing to give up their time and money for therapy as well, aren't they? So this is the forgiveness process that people typically move through. Fatigue with your own reactivity. Like, I'm over being so triggered by this. Cognitive reappraisals are going,

okay, I need to change this in my mind. Focusing on the good. actually, they're out of my life and I can actually just walk away from them, reframe the narrative. They only did that because I'm hot. Oh, I'm right. So it's gone from, it's delusional now. You're lying to yourself.

From grudge to delusion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They even looked at like larger forgiveness of like, as a nation, post-apartheid South Africa. Like nations letting go of colonisation anger. That's what somebody messaged in. It's bold of the British to be the ones that aren't willing to forgive. Yeah.

The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley. Now, we want to know why you didn't get your security deposit back, why you didn't get your bond back. This has happened to me twice. Once I spray painted the carpet, I don't want to talk about it. And the second time I had taped a Paddy Smith poster to the wall,

and as I removed it, it took all of the paint off. And I had torn the bottom of the curtain, and so I put all this stuff against it. And she was like, why, what are you hiding? down there, I said, I'll rip the curtain. They know. They know, hey. They know.

But this is a story that a woman shared on TikTok. She was renting in a house. Yeah. And it's kind of a long-winded story because she lost her sense of smelled long COVID. Wow. Yeah, long COVID. I'd say that too. Yeah.

Lost a sense of smelled a long COVID. And she had a pan on the stove and had lentils in it. And it was burning, but she couldn't smell it. Right. The pan was getting hot, hot, hot. Oh, hot, hot, hot. Strike two. Lentils in a pan.

What are we doing? Give me a break. Who's dry cooking lentils? You put that in like a stew and it's too sloppy and they suck up some of the moisture. She sounds like a lost soul. Yeah.

And so when she clocks at the pan is burning, she goes, oh my God, oh my God, picks up the pan and doesn't have anywhere to put it. You don't want to put on the bench. This is a rental. Very good.

So she goes outside and puts it on the deck, but the deck is made out of like a resin. Oh, yeah. And it burnt through the deck. Like melted through. Yeah. that's like a big deposit. That's, it's a big cost.

You put a mat over that? I put a mat over that and hope they didn't notice. I put a pot plant. Yeah, big pot plant. What are you going to do? Move the pot plant during my inspection? I don't think so. But I want to know why you didn't get your bond back.

Why you didn't get your security deposit back. Yeah, so it could be what you bond for your house or you get a... A car, rental car. Yes, that's right. Or a hotel, you know, when you put a... Yes. They take a little thing from your credit card, a little hold in case you break a chair. And then you go into the room and there's nothing in the middle.

mini bar and there's nothing worth stealing. You're like, kind of feels like a waste of everybody's time there. Yeah, what am I going to do? I also love that a text just came and saying, I lived on Castle Street at Yerney. Say no more. That's a long paragraph. We might take this song to read it and get back to you. Okay, 0800

000m call us now text us. Why don't you get your security deposit back? What did you do? There's a woman who put a hot pot on a resin porch and thus was not given it. Yeah, you're not getting your bond back for that. No, you're not. You're not at all. Now, did you pre-read Vaughn the Castle Street message?

Shall I lie to you and say I did? Yeah. Or do you want the truth? And I just became distracted and watched a video about a man digging a hole. Lie to me. Yeah, I read it. It was a really good story. People wonder what happens when the songs are playing.

This dude's digging a hole under his house. You know, that's one of my dreams. Why under his house? He's building a bunker. Oh, he's building a bunker. Yeah. Have you seen the woman that's building a... If I may, digress.

Just momentarily. A sidebar? Sidebar. Yeah. may approach the bar, Your Honor. You may. Have you seen the woman that's digging, she's been digging under her house for three years,

and she's built, like, another house under her house? I didn't even think about, like, I own my house with the bank. I own the underneath of her. You could go down 88 floors, like that Turkish one. A hidden village. Yeah.

I lived on Castle Street. It was always pretty safe to say deposit was the right off the minute you moved into the flat. The worst I saw was when the neighbours at insert inappropriate nickname. You know how they've all got the flats and all that nicknames? Insert in a These are our future doctors and lawyers, by the way.

Yeah, they are. There's good stuff. There were groups of six in each room and we all had to finish our drinks and then literally destroy the wall into the next room with sledgehammers to show we were done. Every room in the house had no walls at the end of it and the boys had to move into our flat for a month while they repaired the house. Not only did they not get the deposit back, but the landlords banned the boys from living in the house from that year on.

Yeah, I reckon the damage has been done. It's too late. Yeah, yeah. Again, future lawyers and doctors. Oh my God. We had the shittest landlord back in the early 2000s. The hot water cylinder was on its way out. So we were like telling him the hot water's not working and like it's never hot enough and everything. He tried to keep our bond to replace his hot water cylinder when we moved out.

No. It got taken to the tenancy tribunal. Oh my gosh. And they were like, give them back their money. That's where in terror being a landlord. And he was like, wah. That's disgusting, actually. No.

We didn't get a deposit back because there was dust. We moved out four weeks prior to the end. Dust. It sat empty for four weeks and then they went around and went, it's dusty. I have to get a professional planner. I bet that was a property manager. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's got big property energy, yeah. They tried telling us the mold on the curtains was from us, and they'd have to launder the curtains. However, the mold was previously there. Plus, they wanted us to clean the outside windows of the house. No. And we're pretty sure that falls on the landlord. Yeah.

That's landlord stuff. That is landlord stuff. Here's a handy tip. If you've got, like, if your landlord's like you're responsible for the grounds, you say yes, but anything above chest height you don't have to take care of. That's on the landlord because that's dangerous. Oh. Oh, that's a good.

So if there's a hedge, you know, like you haven't trimmed the hedge, you're like, it's too tall. Technically, it's above my chest height. Oh, my God, that's crazy. And just get the smallest person in the flat to represent you. Yes. Do you know who hasn't trimmed my hedge? It's crazy. It feels like I've been asking for over a month.

Yeah. Do you want me to come and do? No, actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to get on a ladder, a small step ladder myself, and I'm going to hurl this power tool over my head, and I'll try to do it myself, and I'll have a fall. And it'll be because of you. Good content, though, for the show. Good content, actually. We can get a broadcast unit in the ICU.

It'll be good. Vaughn made a promise. You know, Pat's keeps going, when's Forney coming around? She's, when's forney coming around? Oh, she calls me Warnie. People tend to call me Warnie when they need something. She says, oh, I can't see. Do you have free time on Saturday before our concert?

I could probably, yeah, I may I go squeeze it in. I just think you've made too many promises you're not keeping. Tell Pat said I have the bloody kettle on, some biscuits made. She promised all sorts. She was going to make you a cheesecake. Oh, now he's coming. Not anymore, it's taken too long. I'm back, baby.

My sister was house sitting when we went away, started the fire to keep warm through a piece of wood in the fire. That piece that was in the fire flung out and burnt the carpet. Had to replace the carpet. Oh, that would be on you, though, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Bit of a spark blow out.

It was wild we put carpet right in front of the fire. It was silly. I'll say it was bloody silly. Put a rug at least. Yeah, I melted my parents' carpet once. Yeah. I think every good fireplace had a good bit of singed carpet out the front. Yeah.

And then your parents had like cut it out and put a row of tiles in. Yeah, yes. And then a spark could go to the next bit, so they put another row of tiles. Yeah. A couple of roguer. And they wouldn't match because the tiles they used the first time around two winters later with their secondary burn. that stopped making those first toll so they had,

just going to get one little close enough. That's sort of similar, but you'll be able to tell one's cream, once wine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should we pull up the first tiles and put down the second tile? No, yeah.

What are we, made of money? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to throw away some perfectly good tiles? Yeah, no, we're not doing that. My landlord stalked me and wouldn't give my bond back. I took them to the tribunal. Yeah, that feels right.

I went to the tenancy tribunal after my last year at Otago. Flat before us was in hearing when they heard us shout, you can't handle the truth and then we got dragged out of the turn and said truth. Oh, that's so good.

That is hilarious. Someone said, turns out that little dish that goes into the pot plants necessary, especially when the pot is sitting on carpet. And it's a terracotta pot and it's porous.

Yeah, it'll mould up that carpet and rot. I've done that before. I've moulded a rug. I've had a terracotta pot. Always put a thing under. A plastic. It's going to be plastic.

My friend didn't get her bond back because the flat-tested positive for methamphetamine post them moving out they said well we don't smoke meth did you test it after the previous tenets and they said no we didn't test it after the previous tenants and so they looked up the

previous tenants they had meth baking convictions yeah that'd be it so that'll be it's probably a I reckon that might be it do you bake meth cook you cook it 180 fan bake 180 fan bake in the in the Edmonds I use the Edmonds meth recipe it's classic Is it? Fan bake can

It's a bit baking soda heavy for me It rises the meth too much. I like an errated meth. You like an airy meth. I like a flat chewier meth. My meth puffing. If you use brown sugar, it will make it chewier. Will it?

Yeah, it'll caramelise. And I tell you what? Add cold butter. Not really from the fridge. If you add cold butter, it's chewier to the meth. Chewy a men. Do you put baking paper down when you do your meth or do you grease the tray? Grease the tray.

And room temperature eggs. A lot of people take eggs straight from the fridge. I don't put my eggs in the fridge. Room temp eggs in your meth. You have to do. That's a fool's mess. We've got to let the yeast rise as well. The ZM Podcast Network, play ZN's Flesh, Fawn and Haley.

Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day, Da, Da, do. This week's back-of-the-day theme is accidental discoveries. And today, it's a bit of a different one. Right? We've had, so far we've had like things been found today. It's a who's been found. Oh. May 6. Obama Osama bin Laden.

Get your guns out just in case. No, that was a... Rosama, what are you doing here? Well, let's shoot you down. May 6, 1950s, brothers Vigo and Emil Holka. A digging for peat. Digging Pete in a bog near the village of Tolland in central Denmark.

Tolland. So Pete, you... It's like a fuel. It's like old, boggy stuff with lots of, like, wood and carbon in it. And you can burn it for fuel. The Irish, this is how the Irish make their good peat whiskeys. And it's a So they're digging

And they're like All of a sudden They're like dig dig dig cut cut cut Cut cut cut Because that's how you do it You do cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut Scoup out Right

Take up eight home For the fire They find a man They pull back some peat And they are looking Face to face with a man Ah Says Vigo

Ah Says a meal They're like What the hell Is going on here So they pull back The mud They like clear away the face

Vigo's wife Gret is also there. She's like, what's going on here? And it gets in and starts, like, digging around. You know when you find something and you start digging it in the sand, you start, like, going around it. He was wearing a woolen cap. His features were very identical.

We had a noose around his neck. Oh, oh, dear. And they were like, oh, my God, we have found, like, someone's murdered someone, chucked him in a bog. And the police came around and sent the forensics team, and they very quickly realized that this was not a man who had been murdered recently. radio and carbonating confirmed it his death

was two and a half thousand years ago shut up yeah pre-Roman iron age oh my god he's been petrified and peat 40 year old man they believe he was either hung for a crime or sacrificed I was like to say they believed he was hung like a horse I was like ha ha ha ha you would have been able to check

yeah yeah have a little look oh don't we're not checking as part of the overall I'm sorry. Sort of like investigation process. We have a little check. A little bit of a shit. Or he was sacrificed for a fertility ritual.

Wow. And then his body was discarded of into a bog and just the perfect conditions preserved it near perfectly. So the spagnum moss releases a carbohydrate and then it kind of like seals him in. And so the bacteria in his body is kind of like encapsulated and no more. can get in to cause him like rot. Complete lack of oxygen and the cold Danish climate meant that it was like a natural mummification. The skin became like a leather.

Yes. And the internal organs were still like present. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. And so he's on display now. He's known as the Toland man. I'm going to show you a picture of his face.

I've seen a mummified thing at a weird oddities museum in Thailand. It's quite a lot. The skin's like leather. I've seen the monks that are like, this is some mysterious magic because the monks perfectly preserved after a hundred years. That's a two and a half thousand year old. Oh, it looks like a chiseled statue.

Yeah, it does, right? Wow, the faces. Yes, look his little hat on. Completely accidentally discovered when digging for Pete near their house. It's crazy. Was his Apple Watch still working or did that need to charge? That needed the charge. Man, his sleep score would be sick.

Thousands of years. Hey, great news. Another 24 hours of solid understood sleep. Yeah, man, you didn't even roll. You wouldn't even tossing and turn in. must have been knackered. No standing hours, though. No standing hours.

And your exercise ring remains unclosed. We do need to talk about the fact that you just seem to be not moving whatsoever. 30 minutes a day. It's just so good for you. They even found remains of like grains and everything in his stomach. That's perfectly preserved. It's crazy. Super well preserved.

So he is in the head. Today the head of the Tallandth man sits in a glass case at the Silkborg Museum in Denmark. Yeah. Hello. And the rest of the body had to be sacrificed for preservation efforts when the technology wasn't good enough to save at all because this was in 1950. Wow.

But the head remains. Amazing. Today's fact of the day was that a couple of brothers were digging for some peat and a bog and found a two and a half thousand-year-old corpse. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. The ZDit-Did-Did-Did-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. The Z-M Podcast Network. What's going on?

Z-DM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. So, you know, I did the usual post-school question. If you've got kids, how was school? What did you get up to today? What happened? Nothing. What'd you learn? Nothing.

I'd be like, leave me alone. Got in a room. You're not my real dad? Yeah, yeah. You're not my real kid. Go away. So, Indy, my oldest, is in high school,

like, oh, I've got to kiss the shoplifting today. That casual. What? Shoplifting. It's starting. Are you going to imagine? I was like, I didn't think Indy.

I thought Augie would be the shoplifter. She's terrified of authority, August. Yeah, right. Terrified of authority. Indy's like, yeah, I got accused the shoplift today. I was like, I, squeeze me. What did you decide? She's like, late, late, late, late,

no, because I was just like, oh, we'll see what happens here. Late start Wednesday. They go for a bloody wander before school, and they go to the supermarket and get bits and pieces. Right. Treats and stuff. Pick and mix lolly.

Yeah. Some of them get like an ice cream and some lollies. Pre-school. Yeah. I remember doing some lollies preschool on the bike ride. But we didn't know any better. You made the most of it before your hormones cooked in, I reckon. Yeah, we didn't know, man.

So they went to the school and they were all carrying their backpacks. And I'll give it. I don't remember my backpack being as heavy at school. Mine was huge. I used to take a lot of lunch. But I don't remember. So they got there to supermarket. and they put all their backpacks in the trolley rather than having to carry them around.

And then, I don't know, by the sounds of it was a group of like five of them or whatever. And so they wheel around and they had the little thing where you sit your kids in when the little open. And that was where the food was that they were getting. Yeah. And they will put it there and then they get to the checkout and I think they like div it all up. And then that's when this guy comes out and he's like, excuse me, ladies, you need to come with me. I need to search your bags. We've got you on camera shoplifting.

Oh! Yeah. And I was like, oh my God, that must have been scary. And she's like, well, no, I wasn't because I knew we hadn't been shoplifting. Yeah. And I was like, what if one of your friends had been shoplifting? She's like, they would have been on their own. I would have been like, at a girl, at a girl.

Abandon it to the side of problems. No man left behind. Nah, except for the one that stole. Yeah. You're left behind. Absolutely on their own. So she's like, so he takes us into like the security office in the back. I'm just like, what?

We're like worried. She's letting me. They can't detain you. So they detained? They took them and then. And they're like searched through all their bags. and they didn't find anything and they had receipts for everything

that had been in the little front bit. I know I was a bit like... I'd be like, what's my compensation for this disruption in my day? They can't like surely take an underage kid like a group of them into like a back room but then she was excited.

She was like, have you ever been in this? She's like all cameras everywhere. Have you ever seen like what it looks like behind the scenes at a supermarket? Yeah, no, I haven't. And there was a little bit of that. I could see a little bit of me in the old, in her eye.

She was willing to forgive this, you know, disruption to the day as you put it. Because you've got to tickle a little tiz and have a look behind the scenes. I've always wondered. I've always wondered. I've never been backstage at a supermarket. I've never been backstage in a supermarket.

If we go past that part that's kind of like, it's always like around produce and meats and the bakery part. That door that goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's behind there. Sometimes you see a forklift, you're like, what's happening?

What have you got? What have you got? Did it really in the forklift in the store? That's what I think. Yeah. Or is it all just that trolley thing? It would be good to see behind the scenes. Especially the security stuff.

966, if you own a supermarket, can we come and have a look behind the same? Yeah, actually, that would be great. We won't steal anything. Maybe we can do the whole thing. We'll pretend to steal. You pretend to detain us. Take us back. Okay, the three of us will do some fake shopping.

One of us will steal and you've got to try to catch us. Yeah. And then take us backstage. So what happened? They obviously hadn't stolen anything. No, so then I was like, well, what happened? And then he said, oh, you can go, but, you know, like, be careful and I hope you've learned your lesson. And apparently one of the girls said to him, what?

not to steal. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't going to. But then I was like, there's no need for me to pop off as the parent because they didn't steal and they seem to have handled the situation quite well. Wrongly accused. I hate that stuff. That's so bad.

I demand a voucher. It was racial profiling of five very white girls. You know, I was like, what, your quarter Chinese? A white presenting quarter Chinese daughter. Yeah, you know, those are the ones. It was Rachel pro pro bono-finding of four or five very well-to-do looking. Yes, yeah, yeah.

Upper middle class, white woman. Yeah. Well, I'm glad to hear that. But she just didn't. I've been accused of shoplom, even if I hadn't, I would have freaked. It's like when I'm driving, and I was like, police lights and a siren,

I'm automatically like, well, I guess I'm going to jail. Yeah. But wait, did they stop them before they left? Yes. Because that's like... Because she said they had receipts, so I think it was post... Oh, right. Post checkout pre-exitive store.

Right. bought her receipts because I never had a receipts. Put him straight in the basket. I get livid when the self-service machine says, do you want a receipt? And I say no and it prints me out one of the fuel discount receipts. Yeah, and it's like, that's still a receipt. I think I said no.

Did I stutter? Meanwhile, 10 seconds ago you were telling me there was an unknown object in the bagging area? Yeah, it's about to be my fist. The ZDM Podcast Network. Now, Barry Keegan, who was... The founder of Keegan Mobile. No? That's Kogan.

I thought he's... I thought he's... Kogan. Keogan. I think it was a Keegan, Keogun. Nah, I don't know. He's, oh, you're a... He's in the Peaky Blinders movie.

Yeah, he was. That's on the great actor. Salt Ben. So, the rumor was, right? That when he was dating Sabrina Carpenter and they were very public, they went to the Met Gala together, he was starred in one of her music videos,

like they were a public couple, and then they split. as couples are want to do, Avon. And the rumor was, the split was due to a, to a, um, deliance on his behalf. He cheated. That's what everybody was saying.

And then Sabrina writes these songs, you know, that kind of nod towards this rhetoric. And as in the head of this, Barry, instead of coming out and being like, that's BS, just disappeared. Which was a guilty look. I'll say. It didn't look bad.

Your silence speaks volumes. Yeah. So he popped up on Benny Blanco's Friends Keep Secrets podcast alongside Little Dicky. They've got a podcast and they've got a podcast and they're just chats and they hang out. I really like. You love Little Dickie. And that TV show he did Dave where it was Little Dickie and he had a friend with Benny Blanco. Some of the funniest scenes together.

For two dudes that I didn't know were that funny before I saw them be funny together. I haven't seen any of it. Benny Blanco is insanely funny. Yeah, I know he's funny. I haven't listened to the podcast, but I know that people really enjoy it. So they had Barry on as a guest. Right.

And this is what he talked about. You know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that's not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared. I feel compelled to make sure I know the narrative we're even talking about that you're talking about.

Is it something about cheating? I cheated, yeah. And I don't want to ever bring anyone else into it. Yeah. But, like, you know, unfortunately, you know, having a relationship in the public eye, it's, it's, you know, we all know this, you know, from our own stories. But it gets put out there and it's like you, you. It's amplified. Yeah, amplified.

So I just never like, again, there was, you know, if you see the narrative, you see the story, a girl made a video. And then a girl actually made the same video and went, sorry for making that up. You know, but no one seemed to latch onto that video. Yeah, yeah. You know. It's unfortunate. She's seen the reaction, this girl. And I didn't want to come forward and put that girl on her and go, hold on for a second.

I don't know. Because, again, I don't know how she deals with. Totally. So I'm aware of all of that. So, yeah, there was this girl, and I remember this. She came out and was like, this is what's happened. And then, like, very soon after it was like, oh, God, I actually made that up. But as he says, it's like, that's not interesting.

What is more interesting and juicy for the public is the narrative that you cheated on Sabrina Carpenter, who you were lucky to even be dating in the first place. That answer was also giving signed an NDA. Yeah, it is. He was dancing around that, wasn't he?

So this is the thing, though, if he didn't cheat, which I doubt he did, if he's being like this. He said the online harassment he copped was horrendous, just hideous. The Sabrina Carpenter fans coming out and being like, you're a dog,

just like absolutely. Dog move. You're a dog. Pulling a dog move like, Fletchhorn and Haley this morning with Gassmi-A. Oh. And he said it was... Somebody pound in here.

Absolute. Lies, hatred, disgusting commentary. And then people like, absolutely tearing apart for his appearance and being like, you were so ugly and all this kind of stuff. He was like, so he just like disappeared into the background. I just wanted to be an actor.

Yeah, I can see why he disappeared of social media then. Yeah. So... Don't believe everything you see online would be a great lesson to be learned here. That's crazy. Crazy.

There's rumors of cheating online. that aren't true. Yeah. Crazy. It's crazy. Even if it's on Reddit, the place where only everything is fat. Yeah.

Crazy, man. The Z&M's podcast network. Play ZDM's Flash for an Haley. This could get juicy, I reckon. A little bit of drama. Why did you kick a friend out of your life? Why'd you say, you know what? I'm parting ways with you.

Or the friend group evicted someone, like a game of Survivor. Yeah. Or a reality show. Started a second group chat. Ooh. a couple of people removed. So the reason we're talking about this is because Maps Australia,

which I will finish talking about, I think, today with this, because it's over. We've rung that content dry well. Applications open for 2027. You don't ring a dry well. You don't ring a well dry. You ring a tea towel dry. Or a stone?

No, that's blood from a stone. We've drained that pond. We've drained that pond. Yeah, we've drained that pond. Yeah, we've pulled that plug in the bath. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We've rinsed that thoroughly. Yeah, we've ended that hydro lake.

I know, why are we talking about this? I'm more confused about water. We've taken the trash out with that one. The bins are out. No, we're on trash. We were doing just water analogies and now we're moved on to rubbish. Binday. Right.

My green waste bin's going out tomorrow. We've cleaned out that cookie jar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We finished that packet of chips. Yeah, yeah. We put it into our mouths. I don't even really know what we're talking about. I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going.

Like, we've rins that sieve. So the last. With a spoon. With a spoon. No, we gave it three in the end because we were bullying her and we felt bad. So the reason I'm talking about this

is because maths is over and now it's like all the, because it's filmed so early and now we're like, so what's happened since, you know? Because we're just up now. What's happened since? And so many of the contestants

have said they have absolutely washed, they've emptied the packet with Gia and Becks in their life. They're just like, that's not a friendship icy value in keeping. You know? And then, and that a lot. A lot of them have built these lifelong friendships, the cast.

Yes. But with those girls, they were like, no, absolutely not. I've booted her from my life, blocked her from everything I don't want it. And I was like, you have these moments where just suddenly with a friend, you're like, actually, you know what, you're gone. You grow apart. You just like, you know, this person. How often does it, they get a partner that's not conducive? Yes, I don't want to know about the growing apart, because that just happens.

I want to know when you have actively decided to X someone from your life. And why? When you've gone, you know what? I don't want to agree with you. Maybe they turned out to be a bloody Trump supporter and you're like, I just can't. Well, they're just one way. Like, they're always taking from you but never giving to you. And you go, I know that friendship no longer serves me.

Like they're always asking you to come do their hedge. Yeah, got to go on about it. But what have they always let you down? And then you've got your own property. And the kill your grandmother's heirloom plant rhubarb. Side note, side note on the rhubarb. It's thriving. I've got a secondary rhubarb crown starting up.

Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. That was truly devastated to hear that it wasn't doing well. It's going to be absolutely fine. Side note, your house plants that I'm looking after, Fletch. Oh, what's happened? No, no, no, no.

New leaves. Oh, good, good, good. Right, why can't I get new leaves? Side note, did you go and buy a rhub plant and you're going to pose it as Letitias? Side note, you'll never know. No, I didn't. I saved Latitia. I actually think the cow standing on it may have given it a little vizure for life.

Made it fight. Yeah, it fight or flight and it fought. So 0800 dials at em This is what we want you to let us know right now Call us 0800 dials at M text 966966 Why did you axe a friend from your life Well I want to know why

I'm coming up two years. This is why I'm buying them because Haley raved about them. I've got nice things. Anyway, we are not here to talk about teetals. We're here to talk about the reason you kicked a friend.

Out of your life. Yeah, yeah. Long story short. I had a... I had a partner, I had a friend who would always try to hook up with whatever guy I introduced her to, regardless if they had partners or girlfriends or anything, I've just stopped them.

Oh, she was like an addict. No, but all you just had really hot friends. Some people have all hot friends. Like you. Yeah, I do have all hot friends. We don't have any, I don't associate with mingers. You know? I don't have one dog friend.

Anonymous, good morning. Hi. Now, who did you kick out? What friend did you kick to the curb? A guy friend of mine What happened? Well he knew I was in a relationship I'd been in a long-term relationship

And he then confessed that he had feelings And tried to act on it Oh no You mean confess the feelings So that you can maybe work through them And see if you maintain the friendship But don't act on it You're aware of your situation

Yeah So that was fun And I was like yeah No thank you What sort of condition Was there a long-term relationship in Was he looking at you and thinking you need to be treated better? Oh, no, no.

I'm happily married. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's, yeah. Okay. I mean, yeah, that's not. That's awkward, isn't it? So I guess you have to get rid of him because then the whole time he's just going to be wanting.

But you know, pining. Yeah. Yeah. And then when I told my husband, he just kind of giggled and was like, oh. Of course he's giggling. I would want him to be a bit more like, you know, how dare he? How dare he? That's my lady.

That's my lady. No, well, he's got the lady. Yeah, he does, yeah. Anonymous, thank you. Some messages. Anonymous must be hot, eh? A couple of guys playing after her. Yeah, yeah.

But not that hot. The husband must also be hot because he kind of laughed at the fact that another guy pretty good. Yeah, yeah. Nice try, mate. Can't relate, eh. Fletch was over here trying to encourage some toxic masculinity. Wasn't he?

Did you hear Fletch trying to, like, wrack up a bit of aggression? A bit of violence? Yeah, I didn't say violence. I was just like, it would have been nice to know that he cared. Yeah, yeah, no, I know it, me. Yeah, yeah. My missus, can I eat my toastie? Yeah, dude, I've got this.

My missus fell out with my mates. As long as you show me those details. My misses fell out with my mate's wife, got pissy with me if we still hung out. So it was just easier to comply. I don't like that. Sound of that. He can still go and catch up with the dude. You don't have to catch up with the woman.

That's okay. Drifted away once they got addicted to meth. Sad reality, couldn't help them. Obviously, they weren't following the Edmund's cook boat recipe for meth that we talked about earlier. Because it's the only meth you should cook. My favourite text. Actually, it should have been texts of the week. If you missed it, we got a little bit.

This may surprise if you were listening to the show. We've got a little bit carried away. Yeah. With the Edmund's cookbook, meth. And someone said, now what am I supposed to tell my child, my three-year-old son who loves baking, just asks him we could make some meth after Kendi

by the people on the radio. And we said, as long as he stinks to the Edmund's cookbook recipe. Are we doing texts of the wake or is that NERP? I think we could do it. We can go back. Retrospectively. Okay, $50 animates voucher for you. Text of the Week, thanks to animates making happy happen for pets.

Yeah. Was besties with a girl for years and then started to notice she backstabbed everyone including her other besties. Oh, just a backstabbing. And then I caught myself out starting to be the same and getting, you know, dragged into the goss. So I decided to bow out best decision ever made. That's toxic. And when you start to adapt their behaviour you don't like. Her wedding cost me $3,000 to attend as a maid of honour and she wanted me to pay her back $85 for a ferry ticket.

No. That's a lot, hey? We're not doing that. I fell out with my friend because of their partner and then an exasperated face emoji. She accused me of messaging her boyfriend and chatting to him, reaching out to him first. Bullshit.

It was him that reached out to Min, I told him it was inappropriate. Wow. I had a friend that was a hypochondriac and always so much drama. It was exhausting. What did I say? Hypochondriac.

And I was like, yeah, I'm sorry. I can't let you get away with that. You've watched season two of the pit, haven't you? I have. You've come back with a fresh. passion for medical. I'm real. What a great season too, by the way.

What a great TV show. Noel wild. The caller before is now concerned that their husband sounds bad because he just scoffed at it and said, like, no. She said, I would have been so pissy. He laughed because he'd be like, I don't know. Act up.

You should go fight him or something. Act up. You should go fight him. Go fight him. We'll organize a fight. Challenging to meet me in the car park at 12 o'clock. I could see 1800s. Do a Jill.

Yes. Yes. And click. Yeah. Yeah. Like West End story. Sing the song from Hamilton about the rules of engagement. So the friend there was a hyper-contry act.

Thank you. It was always exhaustly and ruined many holidays. So we just stopped inviting her. So many people got rid of a friend. Sorry, we're just eating our to toasties. A friend is okay. I got offered a bit of a toaster, by the way. She did offer, and I said, no, thank you.

I got rid of the best friend because he slept with my girlfriend on Christmas Day. Fair enough. Yeah, at least wait till Boxing Day. So I told his girlfriend and then we slept together. Wow. She was hotter than my girlfriend anyway, so we'd win. Turns out that'd been going on for a while whilst I was away. Oh.

Well, that means you get a few more. They're both in the bin now, chur, Ben. Yeah, good. You know what, cheer, mate. Big fat chur to Ben. A friend in high school broke my arm and wasn't apologetic at all. Which is a last drawer after years of dumb things. So we're actor, she tries to reach out annually.

You've spout annually wrong. Analy. No, maybe she did try to reach out annually. Yeah, well, you don't know how they are trying to mend the bridge, okay? You don't know. I wouldn't start with that. Sometimes you have to reach out analy. I wouldn't start with that technique.

I haven't spoken to her in nearly 10 years. Ah, kind of, Ma'amomone decided to hang out with my ex when she told me to leave a month. Later, who turned up in my house, I shut the door on his face last I spoke or saw of him. Wow. I haven't fallen out with any friends. Give it time. Got her, got a... Yeah, I'll with her name.

Oh, yeah. Oh, we're thin wing contractually. We don't have to spend every morning together. Got rid of a friend as she was stealing my clothes. Just noticed the odd top wasn't there. A couple of weeks later, she was wearing one of my tops. I knew it was mine. Is it a very distinctive pattern and style?

That's weird. I had her up. Turned up to her house and she was out milking the cows at the time. So I walked into her house. It was always open. There were four items of mine on the couch on the washing pile. Three tops and a pair of jeans. I'd just be like, thanks for doing my washing and I'd take them back.

take them back. Unless I use a different scent. I don't like when people do my watch. Imagine it came back and it was lavender and you're like, what am I? I'm in a grandma. I'm back on, I'm back on tide pods.

Yeah. You're back on tid pods. He's so good. Tidepots for clothes, towels and stuff. Your standard laundry liquid. Don't forget to give those country road tea towels, by the way, a pre-wash.

Oh, don't you worry. Get me out. You got a pre-wash. Get it out. I am going to be fizzing up the cotton with a hot wash. You have to put on a dryer? Yeah. A dry and a fluffy dryer and they'll be perfect.

Get out. country roads. Let's have a look at these details. Find a green. Because your kitchen's, your new kitchen's going to have a green, isn't it? Yeah, it's going to have green. I like this. Because green is the new millennial grey, which I'm getting rid of the millennial grey, going to millennial green.

We have millennial grey. That will be, yeah, uncool very soon and I guess we go to pink or something. Yeah, I think we're doing red, bright, fire engine red. Yeah. The Dead End's Network. The internet's debating the worst type of plane passenger.

Oh! Oh, okay. There's some strong. I've been on some flights recently. There's some strong contenders. Lady or man with long hair over your entertainment screen. Oh, kick kicking you from behind. Keep kicking the seat and the parents aren't doing anything to stop them.

Yes, it's not even the kid. It's the parent not disciplining the kid. The kids being a kid. Don't kick that person's chair. Is it... Or while we're waiting for the takeoff and we're still allowed to have Wi-Fi, they're watching videos with no headphones on. So the bare beaters are one of them,

they're the people who blast music. or shows with no headphones on. Absolute insanity. The double baggers are people who take too much carry on and take up too much overhead compartment. That's more. That's not me. I only ever take one item.

I took some Virgin Australia flights when I was over there. Yeah. And they are onto you. They looked at me and they said, weigh that? And I was like, no, no, it's light. And they said, well, that's seven. So you've got a secondary one there. Is that carry on?

I said, yeah. And she was like, well, no, it's not. You're going to have to check it in. Yeah. They got me, man. I called out a person on a New Zealand fly that was taking to it. And big backpack and one of those draggy things. I said, you're taking the piss.

Yeah, good. And they were like, huh? I was like, two massive carry-ons. Like, that's taking the piss. We're going from Christchurch to Invercargill. This thing cannot fit us. The carousel grinder, guilty. Oh, yeah.

The people that go into the baggage carousel and stand right where the baggage comes out. I'm one of those. You are. I'm happy to wait. I'm a gap. But there is one that beats it all. The seat squatter. Now that's the person that gets on the plane first.

And if it's A, B, A being the window seat, B being the middle, C being the aisle. And they've got like 3C. They get there first. They sit beside the window. You're like, oh, hi. And they're like, hi. Do you want the aisle? I'm already here.

My stuff. I'm happy to have the window and act like they're doing your. No, I say immediately, get out. Same. My seat. Not at all. Yep. Do you want the middle?

Are you happy in the middle? oh, do you want me to get out and then you'll have to get in? You know, oh, I'm happy to just skateboard and you can take the middle. Get a grip. I don't know if it was this conversation or another one. I think it was just an ex-flight attendant on TikTok that had, this had kind of blown up. She was like, this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think that kids with family should board first. Why?

I think because they take too long. They are slow. They should go last. Get on with the rest of us or go last. Yeah. So, well, they've got all that stuff. You're like, no, we're all. allocated the same amount of hand luggers.

Yeah, we're all got the same stuff. Yeah, seat squatters, I hate it. And they're, yeah, they are the worst. Yeah, and that's just from fellow passengers, because I'm pretty sure if you ask the, um, flight attendants, yeah. Flight attendants, it'll be the people who get two booze and get abusive. I reckon they'll be up there.

The Z&P, quick little poll. We ran one because we wanted to know from you. Do you kiss on the first date? Now, this is because Alex Cooper, who hosts, called her daddy, which is a podcast. I enjoy periodically. Yep. What, just when they have a good guest on?

When they've got a good guest on. I like her a lot and I like what she's created. But sometimes I'm not into it. But they were talking about TikToks and be like, you'd never kiss on a first date. You never kiss on a first date. And she was like, kiss on a first date. She's like, sometimes I sleep with them on the first day.

How about that? Yeah. If it feels right, it feels right. Kissing on a first date is like literally the stuff of movies. She said basically within the dating rules online and just BS. It's a subjective thing and it's an individual thing. Yeah, even before online there were all these weird roles. Like, you must wait 32 hours or 72 hours to even text him back.

It's like, no, if you like him, just message it. Sometimes the date is the purpose of it is to kiss. You know what I mean? Like, we're here to kiss. So we said, Cookie Little Pohl kissing on a first date, here for it or no, I wait. 74% of people said here for it. 26% said wait.

Yeah, get it. Get it. Sorry, I've just, I put this into Claude, my AI, and I said, oh, give me the breakdown of what Alex Cooper said about kissing on the first day. And they did it. And then they said, honestly, honky, this is pretty solid advice for someone currently navigating the Melbourne dating scene between radio shifts. I never said that. No, they do, that Claude remembers your stuff. I never said that.

Wait, but what were you searching? I never said that. You have assumed something here, Claude. Wow. Are you telling me that I should have been in Melbourne out kissing? You should have been out of kissing. Well, I hope not because you were very sick. I was very sick and I was not out there kissing.

Lou said some feedback on it. My first date with my boyfriend started with a full-on kiss. Oh, yeah, nice. Started with a kiss. Because also you want to know if they're a terrible kisser, then you get rid of them straight away. You're not doing eight dates and then finding out they're a terrible kisser. I'm so turned on by a good.

Good Pash, says Taylor. Side note, I got so excited I replied to the wrong person when I read this thing. I replied to the next story. Oh, right. So sorry to whoever Taylor replied to about. She just gets very excited about a good Pash. Okay, great. Pashing's back.

Pashing's back, man. How good's a make-out Sesh. Yeah. Tash is next and her name rhymes with Pash. Or she might be Tash and she might like to Pash. You've got to try before you buy. Yeah, exactly. You've got to try before you buy.

Oh, Lottie said, I think... You don't go to a car dealership and look at a car seven times before you get in it. Get in that car. Beautiful. That's a beautiful analogy. Sit in the car. Sit in it. Sit in the car.

Drive it. Sit on it. Sit on the car. Touch it. Yeah. Get to know the car. Yeah. Spit on the car.

You know what I mean? A little spit polish. Just to make sure that it's got a nice shame to it. Yeah. Lottie said, I think you kind of have to bite the bullet and do it. A guy on a first date licked my face. And another used his tongue like a washing. machine. You need a car or it doesn't work for you

early rather than waste too much time before finding out that they're a terrible kisser. I agree. So for quickly a little poll, we said kissing on a first day are you here for it or do you wait? 74% of people they want to pass. Get it. Get it. If you like today's podcast, tell your friends

you could send them the link. And if you don't have any friends, just pretend you did. Yeah, great. And rate and review. And maybe get out there and try to make some friends. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
