Good morning, welcome to the show, Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Hump's day.
Got a hump if you can do it.
Another double pass to Taylor Swift today to give away.
You're going to be listening at 8 o'clock for the Taylor song.
Midday and 4 will be the first

You got a note this morning
from Matty.
I got a lovely note.
It's two days in a row,
Vaughan,
that you haven't had one.
Yeah, well,
Hayley got a note yesterday.
Yeah.
I think Vaughan's
his favourite though.
Vaughan's his favourite.
He'll be building us.
We know he's got a big...
You're headlining the notes. More of a paragraph. Perhaps. Do you think you'll get's his favourite though. Vaughan's his favourite. He'll be building up. We know he's got a big... You're headlining the notes.
More of a paragraph.
Perhaps.
Do you think you'll get a paragraph?
A love letter.
Oh, lovely.
It'll be a love letter.
The top six is coming up.
Yes, it's New Zealand Fashion Week
or whatever I see the hashtag NZFW,
I think not safe for work.
I always think that too.
Not safe for work.
Not safe for work. I don't want you to open this email. Not safe for work. I always think that too. Not Zayf for work. Not Zayf for work.
I want you to open this email.
Not Zayf for work.
Not Zayf for work.
But it's New Zealand Fashion Week.
It is.
Fashion's my passion.
They always wear ridiculous things, don't they?
Like, I never see any of those shows,
apart from like the undies one.
Oh, there's some.
Yeah, there's some stuff.
But I'm like, I would never ever wear that.
Yeah. Well, fashion's not your passion. No, it's yours, though. Oh, there's some. Yeah, there's some stuff. But I'm like, I would never ever wear that. Yeah.
Well, fashion's not your passion.
No, it's yours though.
That is mine.
Yeah.
Couldn't tell today though.
I got dressed in the dark,
just found what was on.
A yellow...
Yellow jumper.
Yellow woolly jumper.
Pair of jeans
that used to be too tight.
Used to be too tight.
No, sorry,
used to be too loose.
Oh.
Now they fit nice and snug.
Oh.
Snug.
Snug pair of...
Snug pair of tight-fitting dad jeans. Yeah, baby. Nice and snug. Snug. Snug.
Snugbear are tight-fitting dad jeans.
Yeah, baby.
Well, I like the top six Fashion Week shows New Zealand Fashion Week should have.
Okay.
Reflecting our own fashion. Yeah, right.
Nice.
It's coming up.
Next on the show, though.
A psychiatrist has revealed the factors that mean that you could be susceptible to con,
to being conned.
I'm looking at you, Shannon.
Now, we know, and we've called around on it before,
producer Shannon is, gosh, she's a bit of a ditz, isn't she?
I mean, she's an angel, but just as thick as a plank of wood.
No I'm kidding Shannon
we love you very much
and you're a very smart
intelligent person.
Illy.
Thank you.
Illy.
But you've been susceptible
you've been conned before
you've fallen for a few scams.
Yeah.
And you would think
that working in social media
I'd be a bit more savvy to it
but no.
I nearly fell for one like a week or so
ago for a bank that I don't even bank
with.
Sorry?
I got like a, hey, your
BNZ account's been hacked, and I started freaking
out, but I'm on ANZ.
You're like, oh my god,
ANZ, that's intently slipped in a B
in front of it. Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I panicked.
But, you know, the one I fell for and I got cleared out for
was a toll road when I drive 10 minutes from Remuera to Auckland CBD
and I paid for a toll road.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Oh, bliss.
Way more of an Alice Lee too.
She said Remus Lee.
Oh, yeah, she's flashing that up.
She's an Alice Lee.
She means Alice Lee.
She says Remus Lee, but she straight up means. I'm on Portland Road, thank you. Yeah, yeah, she's flashing that up. She's in Ellerslie. She means Ellerslie. She says Remizah, but she straight up means...
I'm on Portland Road, thank you.
Yeah, but that's big Ellerslie.
That's big Ellerslie.
I'm surprised you didn't say St. John for that flash-sounding...
Flash-sounding neighborhood.
And I just forgot about St. John.
Everybody forgets about St. John.
I feel like I'm constantly picking up trade me from St. John.
It's a boutique, bougie neighborhood.
And every time I'm like, where's St. John's?
For people who don't want to say they're from Remuera,
they want to say, yeah, op shoppy, but they're not.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Well, there is a psychiatrist, not a psychologist.
Which one?
Now, what's the difference?
Psychiatrists diagnose and medicate and treat that way.
Right.
And psychologists get into like the why and all that kind of stuff.
It's like, tell me about your parents, like sit on the couch.
Yeah, so when I was a teenager, I went to a psychologist.
Right.
When I was an adult, I went to a psychiatrist.
Right.
And now it's all fixed.
When I hurt my back, I went to a psychotherapist.
No, physiotherapist, babe.
Okay. If you went to a psychotherapist and he told you that your back's
not actually sore, that's a different thing.
And then he put some nodes on my head and cranked
up the electricity. Yeah, right.
And made me bite down on a piece of leather.
This was the 1950s. Yeah, that's a physio.
Is that a 50s? Yeah, right.
Well, he's been chiming in on what makes people a little bit more
susceptible.
Susceptible?
Susceptible. Susceptible?
Susceptible.
Susceptible to being conned.
And one of the main things, and I don't know if this relates to Shannon,
is sort of someone who's a bit sad and lonely.
Now that's a bit harsh.
Perhaps someone that would fall for a kind of a hot celebrity type
is one that might be sort of conned into
believing that
so many people are falling for this
I'm talking to a celebrity. I know.
Like who's falling for that?
Yeah, they say that a lot of people who are
unlucky in love, they're super open
to these like romance
scams that are then
there to just get money from you
and being like,
hey, I'm...
Because someone claiming to be...
I don't know why Paul Giamatti
just came to mind.
But you know, say...
Paul Giamatti?
Say he got a message.
He could be reaching out.
He could be.
Yeah, I got a message yesterday
from someone pretending
to be Ursula Carson.
Now before they could
even ask for money,
I said, piss off, bitch.
Yeah.
Was she asking you for money?
No, not at all.
She was asking how I was and it's been a while and stuff.
No, that was her.
I was just like, piss off, bitch.
Because I thought it was a, oh, no, could that have been her?
Could have been her.
No, it was definitely her.
Oh, no.
It was an awkward chat.
Paul Giamatti's worth $25 billion.
So if he's saying he's hard up for money and needs $1,000 wired to his bank account, I wouldn't bother.
Such a great voice, Paul Giamatti. A little panicky,
New York-y,
Italian-American-y.
Well, if Paul Giamatti texts
you, it's probably a romance scam.
And you're being scammed because you are more gullible,
naive, and suggestible.
You're a weakie.
I also remember
reading somewhere that
we're all, you know,
we're all susceptible in some ways. And it's normally those people that think they are not
susceptible in any way that are likely to be scammed. Yeah, totally. And they also say that
people that are risk adverse are usually the ones that are getting scammed into it because you get
a text being like, hey, something and you're like oh no I gotta
you know take care of that and I don't want to get in trouble
with my money here. Yep.
You're being scammed.
So then being. My mum got one of those
on Facebook from someone
pretending to be someone she knows
not like a really close friend but someone she
would definitely have had dinner
with at some stage
and they were like I'm stuck and I really need money.
And she wrote back saying, sorry, you're on your own.
Because there was this woman, she's like, how did she ask me for money?
I was like, no, no, this is a scam.
And I was like, ah.
But people still fall for those like, you know,
your uncle in Nigeria passed away and he's left you a fortune of, you know, 50 million US dollars.
Sometimes people have got nothing to lose though.
So they want to just, in 10 minutes a day to burn,
replying to the emails.
But they think even people who are greedy
or even in a desperate time, maybe you've got a lot of debt.
Like, even if you think that you're not susceptible to being con,
if you're in a position where you're like,
man, my mortgage repayments are going up.
You're looking for a way out.
It just something changes in you
that your brain is more malleable to going,
well, maybe this is true.
Maybe I am part Nigerian.
I can see it.
I've always thought.
I've always thought.
Oh, you got to be so careful.
In those situations,
I always thought it was somebody from my line
who had moved to Nigeria,
not that I had come from Nigeria.
But I mean, this is interesting to see how everybody else takes the Nigerian scan.
I always thought I would find Nigerian blood in the bloodline.
Yeah.
Maori, Hawaiian, Scottish, a bit of Irish.
And 68% Nigerian.
Yeah, it just translates.
Clay, Zed Ems, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
You may remember last year the chess world was rocked with controversy.
Yes.
It really changed the world, didn't it?
It really brought chess back to the forefront for the first time since Queen's Gambit.
This was regarding chess master Hans Neumann, who's 19 years old, young.
A master.
Yeah.
He's a chess master at 19.
Young, very master. Yeah. He's a chess master at 19. Young. Very good chess player.
But he beat five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen.
And then...
You can imagine he wasn't happy.
I can bet.
He was very upset.
Magnus was furious.
But he withdrew from a tournament
and then speculated in a Twitch stream
with a fellow chess player
that he believed Nyman was hiding a remote control sex toy on his being.
Of course.
And somebody was sitting with advanced computering buzzing him
and they had pre-worked out what the buzzers meant.
Yeah.
And then he would move.
Now, initially, accusation was that it was hidden in his shoe.
Right.
Oh, not up the butt.
Then it was moved to the butt after he went.
But then the other thing was he went for a full body scan.
Did he?
Yeah, he did like a full body scan.
Squat and cough.
Oh, no, no one stuck a finger up.
They basically use that thing at the airport.
They give you a wand to see if you've got any metal on you.
Oh yeah.
No metal detected in the anal region.
Okay.
But wait, do they just kind of like put the wand right up against the butthole?
Yeah, I guess so.
You know, like lean forward and like arch your back a bit.
And then just like.
But everybody, experts in the field said the battery alone would set it off.
Really? Let alone the working mechanisms in the vibrato boot plug.
Let alone the perineum piercing.
Well, that took some explaining, but he showed them that,
so that was all right.
Now, at the time, though, these accusations were wild.
It went to court.
It went to court.
Oh, my God, did it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So chess.com have released a statement. So this is the update, the latest. This is the update. Okay. For a while. It went to court. Oh my God, did it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So chess.com have released a statement.
So this is the update.
The latest.
This is the update.
Okay.
No butt plug.
Okay, great.
Dear chess community, we're pleased to report we've reached an agreement with Hans Nijman
to put our differences behind us and move forward together without further litigation.
Well, that's not saying.
On, on, on.
Hans included, sorry, our statement regarding Hans includes that we found no determinative evidence that he had cheated in any in-person games.
We all love chess and appreciate the passion.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then Nyman also released a statement.
Yeah.
I'm pleased that my lawsuit with Magnus Carlsen and chess.com has been resolved in a mutually acceptable manner and I am returning to chess.com.
Mutually acceptable manner, though I am returning to chess.com. A mutually acceptable manner, though, sounds like money.
Did he get a payout?
Because he basically defamed him.
Yeah, totally.
Slander against not only his character, but also his...
Play him.
Tight little butt hole.
Oh, his butt hole, yeah.
Tight little butt hole, as Stan's accused.
Wait, can you defame a butt hole?
You can defame a butt hole, yes.
Really?
How does that get defamed?
There's the famous butthole v. Wade.
There's precedent.
There's precedent.
Once the president's at the high courts,
then that moving forward can always be referenced.
Wow.
What a wild, like for all the sport, say.
For all the sport.
Your chest?
To have this controversy.
He said, I'm grateful to my attorneys
at Ovid and Ovid for believing
in me and helping me resolve the case.
I thought it would be an interesting meeting
at Ovid and Ovid here. Well, I like to know
that my lawyers believe me, that
I didn't have a toy
out my butthole playing chess.
He's like, I'm more of a nipple man.
And they're like, okay.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the Top Six.
It is New Zealand Fashion Week.
Some people bloody love this week.
Yeah, I've been invited to a few shows.
Yeah?
Are you going to any?
No, because I'm heading off on the Seven Days Live tour.
Which is a fashion event unto itself.
We've been invited to so many too.
Man.
Have you?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What, AS Color?
If they did a fashion week, I'd go.
If it was a goodie bag.
What is it, AS Color?
I would actually go to that one, because what if I got a free AS Color t-shirt?
Yeah, go, but you boys bloody love them, don't you?
You know what they do?
The best staples.
Best basics.
The best basics.
Unbeatable.
Yeah, unbeatable.
Good quality, good quality.
Best basics.
Yep.
Best basics.
You got cotton on?
Cotton on for your jeans?
Cotton on denim runway show?
No, I don't,
but I do need to pop in and get another pair.
Well, they're not lasting you, are they?
I keep wearing these lighter coloured ones outside and they get dirty and then I can't be bothered washing them.

A lot of black clothing.

Stage manager.
Of a stage show.

Yeah.
Number four on the list
of the top six
Fashion Week shows
New Zealand Fashion Week
should have to represent
New Zealand.
The Save Mart outfit
that smells like
an old person's wardrobe.
Oh, I'd love to go
to a Save Mart
fashion show. There's lots in there. I'd love to go to a Save Mart fashion show.
I like a little bit of the musk.
I like the unpredictable nature
of a Save Mart. Are you going to find something
or are you going to find nothing?
Or are you going to find everything?
You find something you love but it's not your size
and you're like, oh, just get the net. Oh, I can't.
I'm going to buy it anyway just in case
I'm ever a size six. Even though my
bone structure dictates
that I won't be
because this dress has had one lady owner
since the 1960s
number 3 on the list of the top 6 fashion week shows
New Zealand fashion week should have
the I just ate a sausage roll in the car fashion show
yes
very pastry heavy show
all the clothes are just covered in buttery pastry
and there's sort of a collection of pastry in the
crotch. Any staining? A few stains?
Maybe a buttery stain, maybe a greasy stain
afterwards of a particularly large piece
of pastry laid dormant. Yes.
In one spot for a little while. A flick.
Number two on the list of the top six
Fashion Week shows New Zealand Fashion Week needs to have.
The Didn't You Wear That Yesterday
fashion show. Oh yeah, great.
It's a two day event. It's a two-day event.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
And the models aren't allowed to get changed between shows.
Yeah.
They just have to chill out our bag.
And then they're like, I'll wear the same thing tomorrow
because I don't really feel like I did too much physical stuff yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, I'm not dirty.
Nah.
I just have a wipe.
Maybe I have a wipe and a deodorant.
Baby wipe.
And the number one on today's top six,
the Fashion Week shows New Zealand fashion week
should have to represent
New Zealand
is the
everything's a little bit
tight after winter show
yeah
yeah
back into the summer clothes
and you're like
oh these have shrunk
did these go in the dryer
before I put them away
for four months
I think I did a big wash
in a very hot dryer
yeah I always play in the dryer
before vacuum packing
on dry
we need a little stretchy
stretchy stretchy stretchy
that is today's Top 6.
Three quarters of people, according to a survey,
are very, very
eager to leave a good impression
when it comes to their home and what other people
think of it. Right. So much
so that half of them will
always, half will 100%
of the time, 50% of them will 100%
of the time, hope I've made that nice and clear,
do an emergency tidy
up when visitors
launch a bit of a surprise visit on
them. Doing vacuuming,
hiding clutter away in cupboards
and spraying an air freshener. See,
that's too obvious. Light a candle.
Light a candle, but the candle obvious. Light a candle. Yeah, that's too obvious. Light a candle.
But the candle needs 20 minutes to set.
Yeah.
If you do a fresh, like a big spray,
that's why we don't even have spray in our bathroom.
Smells like someone took a huge dump.
Yeah, it smells, like air freshener to me smells like poo.
Yeah.
Because it's synonymous.
Especially lavender.
Yeah, yeah, lavender, lavender.
Or like fresh linen or like powder fresh.
Pine.
You know the blue one?
Yeah.
It's just like supposed to smell like clouds.
Yeah.
You're like, no, that smells like poos now.
Yeah.
I sort of do this, but now I reckon things are different now that we have...
Living in a renovation.
Living in a renovation.
Yeah.
Literally everything's dusty.
Our lounges and our beds is in the lounge and people are in there all the time.
I just don't bother.
Yesterday, the kitchen was a pigsty
and we had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine tradies in the house yesterday.
Yeah, but it's a Reno side.
It doesn't matter.
No, the kitchen's not.
Your wife though hates a surprise visit.
Hates it.
More than you do?
Well, for different reasons.
Yeah.
She likes a clean house
and I just don't like people being at my house.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Because my in-laws popped in unannounced, I might say, at the weekend.
Even in-laws should give a heads up.
And I mean, they're fine and they didn't stay long
and they're very like low impact people.
Yep.
Well, one set of my in-laws is low impact.
Which one?
Which one?
You know, surprisingly, it's the mother-in-law that's low impact.
Yeah.
She's lovely.
The father-in-law is slightly heavier impact.
Have you seen that movie where the asteroid hits the earth?
Yep.
A bit more like that.
Okay, yeah.
But they popped in unannounced and I was like, oh, didn't worry me.
But Sade was like, I am so sorry about the state of the house.
It's like the house was cleaned yesterday. And your house wouldn't have been dirty. It wasn't worry me. But Sade was like, I am so sorry about the state of the house. It's like the house was cleaned yesterday.
And your house wouldn't have been dirty.
It wasn't filthy.
No.
And I said to her, do not apologise for the state of this house.
And then her mother's like, oh, my God, you should see my place.
So that's where she gets it from.
Why are we all pretending like we don't have messy houses?
Yeah.
And it's fine to have a lived-in house.
Why does everybody want their house to look like a show home? You're a working family with two kids, for God's sake. Yeah. And it's fine to have a lived in house. Why does everybody want their house to look like a show home?
You're a working family
with two kids for God's sake.
Yeah.
Now Fletch,
when your house is a bombsite,
there's no excuses.
It's got absolutely
nothing on the calendar.
It's hardly a bombsite ever.
I've never seen
your house messy.
The only time it's been messy
is when I've been leaving
and I've made a mess.
You've made a mess.
Yeah.
I just think we should
all just admit
that we're all just
living our lives
hard and fast and we
can't be bothered cleaning our house sometimes.
And if there's
some undies on the floor,
oh, that's grotty actually.
Yeah, pick those up.
We'll give a namaste
to, as a mother of
boys, let's
say a mother, two, hard enough.
If you've got three boys and you manage to keep your house
in any sort of semblance of a livable dwelling,
you've got cleaners.
Even if you've got cleaners.
Even if you've got professional help.
You've got a nanny and cleaners.
Even at that stage.
You've got a butler, a nanny and cleaners.
I will still applaud you because you are living with three tornadoes. At the silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll.
Today's silly little poll.
Quite silly.
Very one-sided.
Yeah, are you not happy?
Very one-sided.
You're not happy with the results?
I just thought it might have been a little more even.
Did you vote?
Because if you're not happy with the results but you didn't vote, you don't get to have a say.
I can't remember if I voted. Just remembering it's an election year, you know? Because if you're not happy with the results but you didn't vote, you don't get to have a say. I can't remember if I voted.
Just remembering it's an election year, you know?
You're the big orange man.
I'm trying to take David
Correus' voiceover job.
He took it off Lionel
Skiggins. Yeah.
So it's only fair that you should steal it off him.
You can only pick one. Hard lollies
or soft lollies? Soft lollies
romping in with 88% of the vote.
It was not England.
No one's here for a percent.
Well, Will Sweet.
My mum recently just found out she's been searching for raspberry drops.
Oh, yum.
Like a hard raspberry drop.
Yum.
Yum.
She's found one, Macy's, and I said to her, oh, I should ask Dave,
because Dave next door, of course, works at Macy's.
He keeps the machines running.
He keeps the lollies being manufactured.
Actually, on that, you haven't brought in a big bag of lollies for ages.
What the hell, man?
It's been a little bit quiet on the day.
Go see your neighbour, Dave.
I just primarily for mum's raspberry drops.
Yeah.
I'd be son of the year if I rocked up with a wholesale bag of raspberry drops.
Yeah, you would be. But soft
lollies, winning. Soft
lollies, you bunch of wimps.
I love soft jubes, I love the dinosaurs,
I love sour worms.
If it comes
to a jube, if we're talking
about the actual jube, it's got to be hard jube.
You can't even find them anymore.
There are hard jubes, but not the old
Pascal ones. They got rid of those.
I'd go a fizzy Coke bottle, gummy strawberry gummies.
Spinning tops.
No, spinning tops are gross.
Spinning tops are so yum.
Sometimes I like him and other times I just don't, you know.
Rebecca reached out saying,
I voted soft lollies just because there's so many more options with soft lollies.
Well, we do live in a soft lolly world.
We do.
But then you've obviously got your diehards that love a hard lolly.
Like Josh.
Yeah.
Hard for sure.
I'd shove an entire packet of soft lollies in my mouth before I've even realised what I've done.
So it's just how control is.
Hard lollies force moderation.
Okay.
Erin, hard lollies destroy the top of my mouth.
They're too dangerous.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to know how to handle a hard lolly.
Those ones your mum loves, the raspberry, they can get sharp, hey, those?
You know that we remember the acid drops?
Any hard lolly can get sharp.
Yes.
So you had those and then you had the clear acid drops and they were like.
Acid drops have had short circuits for another.
Yes. Boomer of a hard sweet in the 90s, but they were like acid drops with short circuits for another boomer of a hard sweet
in the 90s
but they were just
so sour
they were so hard to eat
would we call TNT's
soft or hard
because they're chewy
but they're hard
you've got to work
their way to being chewy
they're soft
zombie chews
Danielle says
I can't believe
I'm witnessing
this sort of discrimination
in 2023 why can't we have both witnessing this sort of discrimination in 2023.
Why can't we have both lollies?
It's hard to watch.
Yeah, no, you have to pick one or the other.
Yeah.
Steph says, I live alone and I have an irrational fear that I'm going to choke and die on hard lollies
or my cats just sit and watch me.
And then, Steph, here's a little kicker for it.
Your cats will eat your nose.
Yeah, your cats, we've talked about this.
I watched a video podcast with some paramedics,
and they said if you live alone or if you die and your cats are there,
they always come in and their cats have eaten the owner's nose
because it's the softest part to start with.
No, but I've got the big cartilage collection at the end of mine.
They like a chew.
Rolly will love that.
Really?
Well, Rolly voted hard lollies, so.
It does.
He'd probably like a little chew on the cartilage knot.
We exclusively feed him biscuits.
He loves a challenge.
Leanne says,
flavour lasts longer
in hard lollies
and just the lolly itself.
Yeah.
Court says,
raspberry drops all day.
Yeah, there you go.
Yum, yum.
Would 100% agree with that.
You should get your mum
a big jar of them
for Christmas.
Yeah, I probably will.
It's a good one.
Must reach out to Dave,
actually. Only chocolate. I can live without lollies, says Dawn. Yeah, I probably will. It's a good one. Must reach out to Dave, actually.
Only chocolate.
I can live without lollies, says Dawn.
Oh, no.
That's not what we are.
It's not Dawn.
You've gone outside of your jurisdiction.
We're having both here, Dawn.
Yeah, we'll see you on chocolate week.
Chocolate, of course, survives.
Yeah.
And Tessa says, what am I, 80 with no teeth, eating boiled sweets?
Well, yes, actually.
Sometime in my late 20s, a Werther's original really started hitting different,
but given the choice, gummy rules.
Yeah.
Werther's rules as well.
Although, you've got to be careful.
You don't want to do a whole pack of Haribo's,
you'll shit yourself.
Oh, you're absolutely, she's selling you.
Cake your pants, 100%.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Gwyneth Paltrow has made some outrageous health,
you know, tips and hacks and whatnot.
Is she still selling ridiculous things?
Remember she had a bread lamp on her website?
Yeah, she had a fanny candle.
Yeah.
One of the ones she's pushed is an eight-day goat milk cleanse.
Just have goat milk for eight days.
And eat nothing else?
Yep.
She's wild, eh?
She's trying it all.
She's a bit crazy, loopy, bit loopy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get stung on the stick.
Full quack, full quack, mate.
Get stung on the face by bees, bee sting facial.
No.
Everybody says she's really nice.
There was a podcast where they started to get into her
and then someone was like,
I'm actually going to say she's a very, very, very nice person.
Yeah, right.
Do you know she's even told us how to yawn
properly. Gently tilt your head
back to a comfortable position and allow your
mouth to hang open widely
while you gently extend into
it.
But you just look like...
And she got a show, right?
She did like a series.
It was streaming, eh?
Yeah, a Netflix-like thing and she went and like explored some of these extreme health things.
Well, she didn't really go and do them.
She sent her team to go and do it.
Yeah.
She also reminded us that we don't want to hurt water's feelings.
That's a lot.
Water?
Okay, so what's her latest one?
Clean sleeping.
Your water.
Don't be mean to your water.
Water has feelings.
Yeah.
I'm always doing bombs into it and stuff.
Sorry, water.
Drink it up.
Thank you, water.
You're delicious.
Weird.
It tastes a bit like mould.
That's your drink bottle.
I think that's more of a drink bottle.
No, it is.
No, it's the water.
You took your lid off yesterday and it's visible mould.
Why don't you...
What song have we got next?
How long is it?
I'm sick of hearing about this drink bottle.
Three minutes 38.
That's enough time to give it a hot wash
and a scrub and then some dishwashing liquid out there.
It tastes like soap for the rest of the day.
Rinse it hard. I'm worried.
I think it makes me a stronger woman.
There's certainly a green tinge to that
plastic mouthpiece. Yeah, that's mould.
You're manky. Leave me alone.
Leave me alone. Clean sleeping is a
new one, right? And we all know about
sleep hygiene where it's like don't have your phone in the bed
and don't watch screens and, you know, have fresh sheets.
So this is like clean eating, clean sleeping.
Clean sleeping.
Okay.
Nine hours at least of sleep each night.
What?
I would wake up.
I only need eight.
I feel like we're all different.
Eight.
Six is my norm. I'd wake up. I only need eight. I feel like we're all different. Eight. Six is my norm.
I'd love seven.
But I got four last night.
Four hours.
That's because you had a night at the theatre.
I had a night at the theatre.
A night of seafood and theatre.
So nine hours of sleep each night.
Yeah.
Meditation and yoga before bedtime for an hour.
Maintaining a consistent 12-hour fasting window
from the time you have dinner at 8.30, no later,
to your morning meal at 8.30 a.m., no late-night snacking.
You indulge in a foot and head massage to relieve tension before bedtime.
Who's doing that?
Who's doing that?
This sounds like a full-time job, the sleep.
Yeah, the sleep thing.
And then you have to invest in a copper pillowcase.
Now, I've heard of...
Oh, what?
Copper.
Copper, like copper threads.
Oh, copper threads, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What does that do?
Just woven throughout.
Nothing.
Nothing.
If you scroll down this article,
no science proves that
copper pillowcases will do anything
to support your sleep
at all.
I mean, I guess the points
are there, right? Like, have a lot
of sleep. This all just sounds like
the absolute lap of privilege, though.
Yeah. If you've got the time and the money
to do all of these things. And a masseuse.
Yeah. So yeah, you've got a masseuse, you've got to do yoga.
So you stop eating at 8.30, then you've got to do yoga.
How's she getting her nine hours?
She's sleeping in.
So who's looking after the kids if you've got kids?
Who's making them breakfast if 8.30 you're going to make them
separate breakfast and then your own breakfast
because they've got to get off to school.
And this copper pillowcase
just does not go with the theme of the bedroom.
Is she selling the copper pillowcase on her?
Oh, you know she'll be selling
goop copper pillowcases.
Goop will have a pillowcase special this weekend.
It'll be like $5,000 or whatever she charges.
Get a grip, Gwyneth.
You know, she's really gone downhill
since Shallow Howl.
Great film.
Great film. You know, dear, I say it since Shallow Howl. Great film.
You know, dear, I say it probably wouldn't get made these days.
I doubt it would.
Oh, it's a terrible movie.
The message was there.
12 past seven.
Next on the show, a recruiter has a tip.
If you're applying for jobs or you're looking for jobs,
the one red flag that she can always pick and also the question,
the most common question
in a job interview
that you should always
be able to answer.
Interesting.
Got those for you next.
Well, a recruiter
on TikTok
has gone viral.
Actually,
she's got a lot of great videos.
If you're looking to,
if you're looking for jobs,
she's got some great tips.
Are you looking for a job?
No.
Why are you bringing this up, man?
I'm not doing that.
Shotgun not worn.
I'm not pushing the buttons.
You don't know how to push the buttons?
No, I don't know how and I don't want to learn.
I mean, I certainly can't give any advice.
I've never applied for a job in my life.
I applied for one and I think I got the job because I'm funny and I had cool boots on.
And I got a job in a clothing store.
Right.
Wearing cowboy boots before cowboy boots were a thing.
Oh, right.
So that's what got you the job.
Yeah.
Did you have to have a CV?
I think I did have a CV.
And then when I went on the benefit after I left drama school,
they made me make up a CV.
Ah, okay.
Menial tasks.
They like to keep you busy when you're on the benefit.
They truly did.
Make me work for it.
Well, this recruiter said that a lot of the recruiters,
when they're going through people's cover letters and CVs,
they'll spend about 10 seconds at most.
Right.
So her big tips are including job titles clearly,
the length of each role,
and demonstrating consistency in your career. Yeah, but you can't demonstrate it if you didn and demonstrating consistency in your career.
Yeah, but you can't demonstrate it if you didn't
have consistency in your career.
So that is what she says is the biggest
red flag. People that jump jobs
and they're not there long.
So if she sees that you're only at like a job
here four months, then three months,
then six months, then four months,
that's a huge red flag. You're a job jumper.
You're a job jumper and she's skipping over you.
Yeah, fair enough.
They don't want to go to all this effort to hire you
and then you're a job jumper.
The number one question she said
that you should always be able to answer in a job interview.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
You've come in for, what job are you applying for?
A master of puppets.
And I'm going to be a sword fighter.
Great.
Are we running a medieval themed restaurant?
Yes.
It sounds like we are.
It sounds like we are.
Okay, so you're applying for a job at the medieval themed restaurant.
Yeah.
You need to be able to answer the question.
No, role play it.
Role play it.
Is this a group interview?
We come as a duo.
We've come together.
We're Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
Okay, fantastic.
Welcome along to the interview.
Thank you very much for having us.
We're excited to be here.
I'm already in character.
No, don't do it in character.
I'd like you to first of all tell me about yourself
because this is the number one question you should be able to answer.
Tell me about yourself, Hayley.
My name is Hayley.
I'm 5'11".
I've got blonde hair and a flicky nose I inherited from my granddad.
Currently need to wee a little bit.
And I'm a size, I fluctuate between a 12C and a 12D.
Okay, I didn't need to know that.
Well, I know.
You just said tell me about yourself.
I gave you a lot of information just now.
Vaughan, would you like to tell me about yourself?
My name is Lord Gregor Vaughan Huttons.
And I have a six-foot-long sword that I love to drive through the chestplate of my enemies
after vanquishing them in the field of battle.
What would you like to know, sir?
When can we start?
I mean, that's great character work, but I don't see a lot of restaurant service work here either.
Any hospitality service?
I'm not serving food like some common pub wench.
I'm here to kill or be killed.
Who you calling a pub wench?
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
I want out of this interview.
But apparently that is the question that people have a lot of trouble answering.
Tell me about yourself.
Because it's vague as hell.
And it's also like, what part of myself?
Yeah, and I feel like, especially Kiwis,
we don't like to like, you know, put ourselves up there, do we?
Yeah.
I'm all right.
Tell me about yourself.
I am incredible.
I'm incredible in the sack.
I'm incredible on the eyes.
I'm incredible at my job. And I'll be incredible for this company. Next question.'m incredible in the sack. I'm incredible on the eyes. I'm incredible at my job,
and I'll be incredible for this company.
Next question.
You've got the job.
You've got the job.
Yes.
I liked it.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
A lot of benefits to being physically fit.
Being hot is one of the least important.
Now, Fletch took off his jumper
the other day, and I caught a glimpse of what's
happening under there. Good lord.
I know. Didn't his surgery
work well? I know. You can't even see
the scars. They've hidden the scars. That's what
happened because he's paid top dollar for that. Yeah, I have.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Paid top dollar for that. I have.
Absolutely. Oh my god. Pass me
the number to your surgeon, please, sir.
This simply cannot be just hard work.
I would be offended if this wasn't such a compliment.
Yeah, of course, of course.
I know, I've wrapped it up nicely, haven't I?
But anyway, I mean, other benefits, better sleep.
I guess healthy weight is one of them.
Blood pressure.
Also good at combating stress, anxiety, depression.
A lot of reasons to go to the gym.
But a lot of people feel intimidated by the gym
and they're calling it gymtimidation.
Gymtimidy, gymtimidy, gymchimchim.
Gymtimidation.
It's feeling intimidated by the gym for whatever reason.
Maybe you don't feel like you're fit enough.
You know what I mean?
Like some people are like, I can't go to the gym.
I'm not fit enough.
And you're like. But then how are you going to get fit? That's it, man. Yeah. You've got to know that people aren't feel like you're fit enough. You know what I mean? Like some people are like, I can't go to the gym. I'm not fit enough. And you're like.
But then how are you going to get fit?
That's it, man.
Yeah.
You've got to know that people aren't looking at you.
They're on their own bloody gym journey.
The gym-terminating part about my gym is the stairs up to it.
Yeah, past that.
And then if you do legs, you're coming down.
What have I done?
Yeah, like I'm out of breath now.
Was that enough?
And stopped the watch.
And that was my workout.
Well, here are some tips that you can use to help get over your gym intimidation.
Because I know people that are intimidated by the gym.
We've been trying to recruit a friend of ours to come into a class.
And he was like, no, it's too intense.
They're like, oh, everyone's going to laugh at me.
It's like, no one's even looking at you at the gym
unless you're hot and then compliment.
Exactly. I can't wait to catch
someone staring at my dumps.
Sometimes my mouth hits the floor
and I'll be like,
that guy with the shoulders the other day, I was like,
Hayley, this guy walked past
us and Hayley was just like,
No, not as in like, he wasn't my type.
He was far too clean and not bearded.
But his shoulders were just like bubbly.
Yeah, but you weren't subtle about it.
No, but I don't want to be.
I want to be like, bravo.
Admiration.
Yeah, or sometimes I'll see like a real small chick up in the women's gym,
leg pressing like 100 kgs.
And I'm always like, good on you.
Not that they need my validation, but just.
But you're always too busy doing my own thing.
I don't notice.
Yeah.
You know, like you say, someone's hot.
But you don't, you're just doing your own thing.
Like if you're in a class, you're just like dying quietly by yourself.
You're just like.
Your own little death corner.
Well, here are some tips to help combat gym intimidation
from some health experts around the world.
Shop around is a good one.
Gyms come in many different shapes and sizes, of course.
You've got your, like, female-only ones or your boutique ones
or your CrossFit gyms or your class-based gyms like Les Mills.
I mean, if gym intimidation's not for you,
perhaps CrossFit's not for you because that's full on.
They scream at you.
Everyone's screaming at you. Everybody's high's not for you because that's full on. They scream at you. Everyone's screaming at you.
Everybody's high-fiving.
It's all a lot.
No, I think people are welcoming.
Yeah, they are.
It's a real community.
A little bit too happy clapper sort of welcoming.
Then you need to shop around.
Then you want to go to a cheap budget.
If you're into cults, if you've got a history of falling for cults,
then those are probably right.
It's a family environment, you know?
Yeah, like Hayley made a new friend at the gym the other day.
JJ, what's up?
I was a wine company.
Not Scandal Queenie.
I can find that.
No, Scandal Queenie wasn't in our class.
Another one.
Yeah.
But yeah, just shop around.
If you're walking to a gym and it's real grunty
and you're like, this is not my vibe,
maybe find a yoga studio, maybe find something else.
Dress for success.
You want to wear clothes that you feel good in. This doesn't mean
like spending a whole bunch of money on like the latest
Nicki or Adidas.
It's going, what do you feel comfortable
in? If you're someone who's not
wearing a crop top and other people are wearing a crop top,
you want to wear a big t-shirt? Wear a big t-shirt.
That could be part of the gym termination. You don't have all
the brands. You don't need the brands.
Just wear whatever you're comfortable in. Oh my god, my PT's always
like, wow, there's that singlet again.
But in a funny
way because I haven't
got new gym clothes for a long time.
I always rock my comfy faves
that I like. Watch the nipples though.
So they can't get worn down
on a cotton tee.
I've got the bra on.
I saw someone in a warrior's top at the gym
the other day. One must always up the bra on. Yeah, true. I saw someone in a warrior's top at the gym the other day.
One must always up the whas.
Up the whas.
And rip the whas,
but there might be a more fitted sort of like practice singlet that might be better for the gym.
Easier on the nipples.
Yeah, of course.
Hard on the nipples, a rugby jersey.
This is one I've always done
when I've gone to a new gym or moved to cities.
It's asked for an orientation.
Because you can go, they're free.
You just go in and, no, why not?
Why don't you do it?
No, no, leave me alone. I like it in and why not? Why don't you do it?
I like it because then they show you all the good stuff.
They're absolutely pesty if you give them your actual phone number. Yeah, yeah.
If you go for an orientation when you're just
looking to use it short term.
I do that if I go to Australia for
a weekend or a week or whatever.
You just pretend you've moved there and
get a five day free trial. And be like, bye.
And then, ladies. No, but if an orientation you can also go, you could do it if you've been to the gym but you don't know how get a five day free trial. And be like, bye. And then leaders. No,
but if in orientation,
you can also go,
you could do it
if you've been to the gym
but you don't know
how to use some of the machines,
which is part of intimidation,
right?
You're looking at them like,
I wonder what you do
and you don't want to just
climb on and have a play
because then you're intimidated
that people are watching you
and being like,
she doesn't know.
Yeah.
So if you just go to PT
and be like,
can you show me around
some of the machines?
It's free.
And then you know it.
nice.
Go with friends
or in a group.
That way you're sort of disappearing
and there's a person there being like,
well, they're not judging me,
so I'll just hang out with them.
You know?
I mean, you don't judge me when I'm struggling
and doing...
Why are you laughing at me?
Why are you laughing?
If she says you don't judge me
and then you get a big grin on your face and nod.
I only judge you when you cancel
and don't show like yesterday. Oh, like yesterday when I was like, I'm going to go to some of my knees. I don't know. A big grin on your face and nod. I only judge you when you cancel and don't show like yesterday.
Oh, like yesterday when I was like,
I'm going to go to lunch with Madeline Sami instead.
And we had beer.
The last one is to consider non-gym options.
If it's too much and you're like,
that environment is not good for me and I don't,
it's too much and it's preventing me from working out,
other things, running, walking, cycling, swimming, you name it,
you can try something else.
There you go. Get over your gymtimidation. Gym-timidation.
Gym-timidation.
Or just don't go.
Or you could try my diet. Which is lunches.
Which is be like, man, I'm gonna go.
I just need the week off. Yeah.
And do lunches and beer instead.
It's fun.
Now I don't use this term lightly, but some dipshit on TikTok.
Strong words, Vaughn.
Some moron.
Some idiot has said they're not getting their bond back because they put a hot fry pan down on the carpet and it sizzled the carpet.
That'll bloody do it.
I'll tell you what.
Yeah, that'll require a whole replacement. Unless you know a carpet person.le the carpet. That'll bloody do it. Yeah, that'll require a whole
replacement. Unless you know a carpet
person. Carpet layer.
This has gone viral. Have you ever seen
when they cut out a bit of carpet?
Now you have to be a topless carpet.
Oh my god, there's a patch. And they patch the
carpet and they match it so you can't see
the join. And you're always like, I'm gonna
see the join. I'm gonna see the join.
Even if you've ever ripped up
carpet, you're like, oh my god, there was a join there?
There was a join there all along. Yeah.
How does that happen? Staples. Skill, man.
Skill. Yeah.
Glue and staples. Skill. Yeah.
But shout out to our
carpet layers. Shout out to carpet layers.
Shout out. You're always on your knees.
Yeah. Spend a lot of time on your
knees. That's why they have knee pads
They got their knee pads
And they got their little thing
That they boot with their knee into the
Yeah
Ouch
Anyway
It's a great job
Now they're doing the Lord's work
So we can have warm feet
They'll be kneaded
After this fry pan on the carpet
Put a hot fry pan on a carpet
And sizzle the carpet
I guess I'm not getting my bond back
This has gone viral on TikTok
It has, I saw it.
That's silly.
I mean, I've lost my Bond from carpet.
I've shared before,
I had spray painted something
and just put a small bit of newspaper
and spray painted
and then there was just a square
of black spray paint on the carpet.
Dumb.
Yeah, but it was fine
because after that,
then we used to have parties
and people would just drop your ciggy butts,
doesn't matter.
Crude. The next't matter. Gross.
The next day, that house.
That is so gross.
But it could be carpet.
It could be curtains.
It could be your mate Robsy putting his head through the wall.
Just to completely not mention an actual event that happened in 2002.
No, of course not.
It sounds very specific.
Maho Street, Malville, Hamilton, 93, as I recall,
and you don't get your bond back.
Yeah.
See what you'd like to take some calls.
Of why you didn't get your bond back.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Because they can't bond you for wear and tear, right?
No.
They can't hold your bond for general wear and tear.
It has to be damage that needs to be repaired.
But if you sell a tape to Patti Smith post
to the wall and the paint all
comes off. Then they've got you there.
They've got you there. I don't think I've
actually ever received a bond back before
I got with Aaron. I've always.
Aaron sorted me right out.
Because he knows how to paint and patch everything.
He's a stranger. Yeah, right. Whereas I used to just rip things off
and be like, oh, okay, I should have used Blu-Tack.
Yeah. Well, you've got to be have used Blu-Tack. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to be careful with Blu-Tack.
That'll pull the paint off too. And it also leaves a bit of oil stain.
Yeah.
You can't win.
How am I supposed to customise my home?
Please don't put up posters.
It's an on-poster household.
But how am I supposed to let people know that I'm edgy and funky and cool?
Are you bedspread?
Yeah, true.
Get on a bedspread.
Could have done that.
Could have done that.
That's why I had a Bob Marley bedspread.
Oh, yeah.
Let her know that.
And that thing saw some ass.
That thing saw some action.
Okay, we want to take your calls.
0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696.
Why didn't you get your bond back?
The dumber the better, too.
Yeah, yeah.
How about people who have a dog on a hardwood floor
and their landlord doesn't know they've got a dog
and at the end of it, the dog scratched the hardwood floor with their claws and they're like, we'll take it all. How about people who have a dog on a hardwood floor and their landlord doesn't know they've got a dog and at the end of it the dog scratched the hardwood floor with their claws
and they're like, we don't have a dog.
The landlord's like, what did all this?
Well, see, house smells like dog.
This whole house needs to be sanded and re-varnished.
The dog is right there.
That's a dog.
No, that's my child.
That's a dog.
Also, the landlords have driven past without telling you
and they've seen your dog.
They've seen your dog.
What, 100%?
If I was a landlord, I'd drive past all the time, and I know that's against the law.
No, it's not against the law.
Isn't it?
No, to go in without the proper warning is okay, but if you walk past, you could literally
stand looking over the fence.
You're not on the property.
Oh my God, that's terrible.
You're not breaking the rules.
If I was a landlord, I'd fly a drone outside their house.
Are you allowed to do that?
Is that allowed?
If I was a landlord, I'd have cameras inside the house.
Just constantly streaming what was going on.
My house, my rules.
Yeah, same.
Same.
Okay, 0800-DIAL-ZM is our number.
Give us a call.
You can text through 9696.
Why didn't you get your bond back?
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Not getting the bond back.
And we want to know from you this morning
why you didn't get the bond back.
Yeah.
We've got some great stories coming through. Let's go to Jacqueline. Jacqueline, why did you not get the bond back and we want to know from you this morning why you didn't get the bond back. Some great stories coming through.
Let's go to Jacqueline. Jacqueline,
why did you not get the bond back?
I
ruined carpet, but it wasn't
necessarily me, but my two,
she might have been two or three, she was out of
nappies anyway, and
she had a sore tummy and
she said I needed to go to the toilet, but
we didn't make it,
and I was carrying her running as poo, runny poo,
was coming out of her like a cat.
All the way from the lounge through the hallway.
It was just a big trail of runny poo.
And it stuck.
And it was only an hour before we were moving out. Oh, Jacqueline.
An hour before they were bringing people around,
a bunch of people, to look through the house.
And that kid poo, it's so yellow and like staining.
That poo is a different thing.
Because I was like, surely over time one could get that out of the cupboard,
but as you say, it was only just before.
Yeah, so then I freaked out, scrubbed and spread and made it worse.
You've got shit carpet.
So did they have to replace the whole carpet?
Pretty much.
So I was like, I think I owed them money.
They took the bond and you owed.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Jacqueline, thanks for your call.
Sandy, why did you not get the Bond back?
So we were having a party at the flat.
Yeah.
And we didn't have any balloons,
so we thought we'd blow up some condoms
and hang them from the ceiling for decoration.
Okay.
And somebody decided to light one with a lighter to pop it,
but they don't actually pop.
They catch on fire.
Do they? Do they? Yeah. Yeah. And so it a lighter to pop it, but they don't actually pop. They catch on fire. Do they?
Do they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so it caught fire to the ceiling,
and then it was dripping burning condom onto the carpet.
Sandy.
Dripping burning condom onto the carpet.
Yeah.
So the ceiling's burned.
Who would be a landlord?
Oh, my God.
And the carpet's burned.
And did you lose all the bond?
Yes, and our friend was trying to pass it out with his foot on the carpet.
He ended up with burns on his foot.
But he had to go to the doctor for it, and the doctor was like,
how did you get the burns?
And he's like, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Yeah, and I just can't even get into it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, you're not getting the bond back after that.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vodina. Talking about the times when you're not getting the bond back after that. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden A. Talking about the times when you didn't get the
bond back. Yeah. Because
a flat has gone. Because you were a nightmare.
Yeah. That's why you didn't get
it back. Well you're speaking from experience.
Yeah. A flat's gone viral for putting
a frying pan down on the
synthetic carpet and burning a hole. You can imagine
what happened. Yeah. No bond back.
We had tenants and we didn't return their bond
as they'd stained the carpet,
pulled paint off the walls,
had played darts in the lounge.
Get swole.
And were just
general massive assholes.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's
a box to tick on the
board.
I think people were playing
darts in the lounge.
Yeah.
Did you at least try
to fill in the holes?
It's quite easy to just get some filler.
Yeah.
But it's harder to fill hundreds of little holes
than it is to fill one big hole.
Yeah, that's true.
It's best to cut all the jib out.
You can skim plaster.
Wow.
They play darts in the lounge.
Rank yourself.
They're not going to skim plaster.
I could fix that.
My cousin had a guinea pig in her flat for three years from the landlord.
Just covered the cage and blankets when they'd come around to do the inspection.
But aren't they like...
Uncover me right now.
I'm a guinea pig.
We had a house party in my early 20s.
Lived with a heap of mechanics.
Someone kicked over an old oil can in the backyard
and it glug, glug, glug, glug, glugged onto the lawn
and then everyone trampled through it and into the house for hours
but it was dark and no one realised until the next day
and all the carpet was absolutely ruined.
Ruined, you can't get that out.
No, you're not getting your bond back.
My partner did the exact same thing with a hot tray from the barbecue
to the oven and was like, hot tray from the barbecue to the oven
and was like, oh, I haven't opened the door.
Put it on the carpet when it opened, the oven door came back.
Oh, no.
And what he did was he shaved the carpet down with the shaver he used to shave his face.
Yeah.
Shave the carpet down and then a professional carpet cleaner in when we left
and they didn't even see it.
Oh, okay.
We got our blonde back and then he
said to me, do you know what
happened a few years ago? Because he didn't want to get told off at
the time, but they got away with it scot-free.
Oh my God. We didn't
get our bond back because we burnt the garage down.
Olivia, why didn't you get your bond back?
It was actually
my mother-in-law who
you know those
automatic fly spray things
that you buy?
And one day she had it turned
the wrong way
against the wall.
And it sprayed against
the wall all day and
left this sort of patch
of weird texture on the wall
where it had sprayed.
It basically had made it soggy, made the plasterboard soggy.
I think there is a corrosive, we've had it squirt on paint before and it does eventually
strip paint.
Yeah, it was like, kind of lifted it and like, was all weird and wiggly and squiggly.
Cool that we're breathing that in, eh?
Cool that we're breathing that in all day.
Yeah, I'm telling you, who else is breathing it in?
Them pesky flies.
Yeah, and my cat.
Yeah, good.
And so she didn't
get the bond back?
She didn't
because I guess
they argued that
they had to repaint
the wall.
Yeah, well,
there's probably
a hole in the wall.
It doesn't cost much.
Yeah, sometimes
when they ask
for like X amount of money,
they're taking the purse.
Taking the purse, yeah.
Olivia, thank you.
A couple of messages.
I didn't get my bond back
because I had an indoor
marijuana set up in one room
and I went to jail
and
I did ask for it but apparently
they used it to cover the couple of weeks
rent they needed to get the place tidied up
when I was in jail
that is funny
sorry you went to jail and stuff
although we're doing something illegal
don't be sorry.
Yeah.
If we'd have made more money off growing tomatoes
than you would drugs.
You would now.
You got it.
Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly.
Play ZM.
Taylor Swift, Cruel Summer.
It's your 8 o'clock Taylor Swift song.
Midday, Georgia has the next song
to help you win those tickets to see her live.
Girl Math. Girl Math.
Girl Math. Girl Math.
I forgot to dance.
You forgot to dance? I'm sorry.
I was eating a biscuit. Does that count?
You've already had a little dance when I
asked Vaughan to give me a little something when he was
changing his t-shirt and he
really gave it to me. I gave her a full
I gave her everything. We're wearing girl math t-shirts that say it gave it to me. I gave her a full, I gave her everything.
We're wearing our
Girl Math t-shirts
that say it's basically free.
That's right,
because that is the essence
of Girl Math.
We've never made a promise
we'll get each item
down to free,
by the way.
Sometimes it just winds up
that way.
Sometimes it's just
basically free, yeah.
Sometimes it's basically free.
Sam joins us this morning.
Good morning, Sam.
Good morning.
Now, you need the girlies to justify a purchase using girl maths.
Yes.
Now, I'm looking at this purchase.
I actually own these.
Tell us what you want.
I want some Doc Martens sandals.
Yeah.
Okay, we're coming.
You know, it's going to be spring this weekend.
Erin calls these my orthopedics.
They are.
Very chunky sole.
You don't want to go a Birkenstock instead, Sam?
Oh, God, the common person here.
I'm so sorry.
I really apologise about that.
It's forgiven.
How much does...
Because I'm on number one shoes.
No, dude.
They'll give you free delivery if you order over $100 worth of shoes.
But they don't have the yellow stitching that says that it's Doc Martens.
And I bet you they won't be leather.
And if they are, they won't be as high quality as the doctor.
You like your ones.
But they are chunky, though.
They're very, very chunky.
Are you a tall girl, Sam?
I'm 5'0".
Oh, yeah, babe.
You need a bit of chunk.
You're a giant.
Yeah.
On the foot. Okay. Well, I know they are you need a bit of chunk. You're a giant. Yeah. On the foot.
Okay, okay.
Well, I know that, let's bring in the girlies.
Carween.
Hello.
Shannon.
Good morning.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Yes.
Because I believe you've done a bit of,
you've looked at these sandals, do you like them?
Absolutely.
I'm debating putting them in the cart now.
Oh, we might have done a bit of that, Sam.
I'm easily influenced.
Hang on, don't do that,
because now we're already running at a loss.
Okay, sorry.
Because we've got to factor in your girl math.
True.
You're a separate case.
Hey, dude, dude, dude, stop girl math.
I just found them number one shoes.
Felicia leather sandals, 80 New Zealand dollars,
and they've got a chunky heel.
Oh, they're so ugly, Sam.
Oh, my God.
Okay, okay.
What about some hush puppies?
We're talking comfort.
We're talking style.
It's partly about the cred, and I get it, man.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know the same passion.
Really?
You've never bought Doc Martens before?
Never.
It'll be my first ever.
The three of us rock a doc.
Yeah, I'm wearing mine right now.
We love a doc, and they last forever.
That's the thing with Doc Martens is you make this purchase.
I'm sure the girlies are already going to be breaking this down per use. Okay, well
how are we going to do this with Girl Math?
Right, so let's start. They're a
summer show, really. So let's take into
account how many days we have in a summer.
90. No, I would argue this. I've worn it in winter
with a sock, but you carry on. But just at
a minimum, you know? Yeah, at a minimum.
Global warming. I reckon you could add
at least another 30 days. We're playing
conservative this morning
we don't want Vaughan
to come down on us
some people are saying
girl math is frivolous
so we're trying to be
more conservative
so 90 days of summer
I feel like with the Doc Martin
you've got at least
5 years of wear in them
minimum
so that's 5 years
times 90
is 450 days
now the average Kiwi does 7,000 steps a day.
Oh, wow.
Impressive.
So if we're working that down to steps,
you will walk in these shoes, 3.15 million.
We divide the cost of the shoe, which is only 280,
by the amount of steps you're doing it,
we're talking 0.0009 cents per step.
You're telling me that's basically free?
That's basically free.
What?
Per step?
I didn't know you were going to break it down that far.
Yeah, and we could even then divide by two
because step, you know, we could go by foot.
Yeah, right.
So we are assuming, I mean,
do you feel like you're going to thrash these
or are you going to save them for special occasions?
I feel like I'll thrash them in the summer.
Okay, so we're going 90 days.
What part of the country do you live in?
Wellington.
And you can't beat it on a good day.
Yeah, but that one good day.
No, there's like four in the summer.
Four good days.
Very wet and you're not supposed to get leather wet, are you?
No, but Wellington is very much a sock sandal city.
Like you can fashion this, and you know
fashion is passion. You can wear a sock
with this. Do you know what?
You could wear a stocking with it. Yeah, you could wear a stocking.
You could wear a stocking. You could wear a jockeying.
You could wear anything with these.
Do you know what? Because I own these,
I've got a bit of, I don't, it may deter you
to buy them,
but then I might bring you back on track.
Because I own these shoes, and I wore them to a, well, I might bring you back on track because I own these shoes and
I wore them to a
well I wore them to a tangi.
There you go.
I did. I wore them to a tangi. You what?
That's a strange choice of shoe.
It was a summer tangi.
It was a summer tangi.
Now that's a formal shoe.
We could even break down that purse.
Did you take them off outside the marae or did you
surely you took them off? I'dae or did you... Of course I took them off.
But we were outside of the picnic afterwards.
I did not wear these into a marae and I recommend no one does.
But I actually took a tumble in them.
They're a bit loose.
Now, I will give you a heads up, Sam,
that the buttonholes on these can run for a wider foot.
Now, I'm a narrow foot.
Long but narrow.
Skinny foot.
Yeah.
Wow. Skinny foot. So I took a tumble and I twisted my ankle, right? a narrow foot. Long but narrow. Skinny foot. Yeah. Wow.
Skinny foot.
So I took a tumble and I twisted my ankle, right?
I was fine, but I don't know, Sam being smaller,
I'm going to imagine that she's maybe a bit not as built like a rock as I am.
Yeah.
So you might take it.
It's just less of a fall to the ground, isn't it?
Less of a fall to the ground, but you might break your ankle.
Now, I've looked up a number of cases where people have
sued shoe companies
for injuries
caused by their shoes
being unstable
or not fit for use. Now here's
an example of a woman. She sued
a company for $10 million
for misleading customers
on the safety of their shoes. You may think it
sounds ridiculous. She won $3.5 million of it, and that's in the United States.
Now, I hate...
We've got ACC.
You can't do that here.
It will negate that.
Yeah, but ACC, now you're going...
Now you're getting...
Okay, well, I was trying to get you $3.5 million, Sam.
Sorry, but the boys are poo-pooed at.
But if you're going to ACC, when I go to ACC,
I chuck a few other things in there.
You can't do that.
You know what I mean?
So you're saying now that she could get free physio.
I twisted my ankle.
Now they're saying you get a physio where you can get your shoulder fixed,
you can get your neck fixed, you can get your arm fixed,
and get that funny knee fixed.
Now you're getting hundreds and hundreds of dollars
worth of physiotherapy sessions free,
all because you bought these Doc Martin sandals.
I might even chip my toes on the way down.
Now we're getting veneers.
Now we're getting veneers.
We're getting Invisalign.
We're getting veneers.
She can't go about her life with a mangled mouth.
This is Sam we're talking about.
Somebody's messaged in saying,
are you after the Blair 3 sandal?
No, not the Blair 3.
Oh, okay.
Because they're on sale at the moment.
No, it's the Miles. It's the Miles. It's new season, Hon. Keep up not the Blair 3. Oh, okay. Because they're on sale at the moment, down from 280 to 140.
No, it's the Miles.
It's new season,
Haunt Keeper.
It's fashion.
Sorry, sorry.
So now, look,
I'm going to go,
you've got a year
of ACC physiotherapy appointments.
How much,
Fletch, you go to physio,
how much is your?
Oh, you pay 20
and then the ACC's the rest.
Okay, so you're going,
you're going,
say $20 times,
how many appointments are we going to do this year?
We'll say 48.
48 appointments.
Now you've got $960 minus $279.
You've made $183.
I don't know if you have.
Now, you've made $183.
You can get these sandals and Vaughn's shit sandals
twice over from Number One Shoe Warehouse.
Now she's got three pairs of shoes.
If you break down three pairs of shoes per step, I mean, it's just ludicrous.
And almost a daily physio.
Yeah, and a daily physio.
You can get a massage in there, get the knots out of your neck.
I'm a new woman and have new shoes.
Yeah.
There you go, Sam.
You've got to get the shoes, Sam.
It's basically free.
It is.
It's not basically free.
She's in the profits, honey.
She's basically free. It's not basically free. She's in the profits, honey. Boy, this will have
silenced the online haters who said this
is frivolous and also gives
women a bad name when it comes to finance.
I would challenge them to argue with our
argument here, to be fair.
Boy, you've really shown them.
17 past eight. Next on the show,
somebody bought
an item. Girl Math
this one because it doesn't work at all.
Yeah.
They bought the wrong thing.
They did.
Carwin, our producer, sitting through a double-paned,
sound-absorbing and light-reflecting window from us right here,
yesterday made a silly
billy purchase didn't didn't you hey what did you want what was your where did you where did
you go why were you shopping well many reasons to go shopping just because i felt like it obviously
yeah uh but i needed a new belt mine has snapped oh i don't know i don't know how. Is it cheap? Is it leather?
No, it's actually kind of nice.
Oh, cool.
They shouldn't just snap.
Give a quick shout out to the AS colour belts that I have put through hell and high weather.
What are they?
Are they fabric?
No, like a leathery thing.
Okay.
Leathery thing.
I don't know if they're genuine leather.
A shout out just for containing you.
Just for holding me in.
Yeah, okay.
Holding the pants up. See, I don't wear belts anymore're genuinely. A shout out just for containing you. Just for holding me in. Yeah, okay. Holding the pants up.
See, I don't wear belts anymore.
I just got fatter.
And then my pants don't fall down.
The gut belt.
No, that's a free belt.
It's a gut belt.
Did I just girl math my weight game?
The internal belt.
Yeah, you did.
You're saving on belts.
Yeah, man.
Well done.
Okay.
Well, I need one.
Also for fashion purposes.
Sometimes it ties in the outfit.
Anyways.
You love a big belt buckle.
Am I correct in saying that?
You love a huge sort of like.
Harley Davidson, like an evil.
Yeah, Harley, yeah.
Real patriotic American belt buckle.
I do have a Harley Davidson one actually.
But anyways.
Did you get rid of your Confederate flag one?
She kept coming in and we were like.
She doesn't wear it to work.
She doesn't wear it to work.
Okay.
Anyway.
You can't control what she does in her personal life.
Yeah, no, you can't control what she does in her personal life Yeah no you can't
Yeah
Anyway so I went in to Kmart
Because I was like
That's gonna be cheap
And if it's bad it doesn't matter
Right
It was cheap
And as I walked out of the store
I went
That's actually quite a weird length
But it'll be fine
Wait you didn't unhook it and go
Wrap it around the hips
In the middle of the store
No I always do that with a belt Same you have to My hips are deceptive Wait, you didn't unhook it and go wrap it around the hips? In the middle of the store? No.
I always do that with a belt.
Same, you have to.
My hips are deceptive.
Flick it out like you're Indiana Jones with a whip.
And then around you go,
and you've got to have a few holes either side for the yo-yo.
Nah, I was in a rush.
And I just was like, this will do.
And I walked out of the store, popped my receipt in the bin.
Don't need that.
As if I'm going to return, it was so cheap.
Get to my car.
The massive label says, kids.
Were you in the kids section?
No, it was right next to the women's bouts.
Yeah, that's deceptive.
What drew you to the bout?
Was it cute or was it like sparkly with unicorns and say like,
yay, lol dolls or something?
Lol dolls.
There's that sort of thing, I don't know.
No, it's just a classic black with a silver buckle.
But at this stage, you're in the car park.
You could have gone back to the bin and got the receipt.
Oh, she's rummaging around the St. Luke's Mall bin.
No.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that.
Well, how much are we talking here?
It's spitting season two.
It is spitting.
It is spitting season.
We're in the spitting season.
I've been spitting in beans.
I've been spitting on the floor.
So what?
No, it was only $10, but $10 feels like a lot to this way.
Tens a lot, yeah.
Oh my God, I've got it.
What about dog collar?
You could wear it as a choker.
No, as a girl who used to wear a lot of dog collars and chokers, it's a look.
I don't know if it's my look.
Right.
Would you like to bring that look back?
Yep.
Just the other day I thought it might start being a bit gothy again.
Yeah, do it.
What, dip a toe?
Yeah, dip a toe back.
Get some pantyhose and cut five holes in them
And put them on arm sleeves
They were cool, man
They were good, it was a good vibe
I'll take your black belt off you
It's yours
Thanks
We should all have to dress one day soon
Like we're 17 again
Oh
Oh, okay
I just have the most mishmash.
Like, there was no set rule for 17-year-old Vaughn's fashion.
He was wearing a Liverpool football shirt
made of this weird non-breathable material once.
What?
With, like, really...
You don't even like football.
No, I know.
With really baggy cargo pants.
I don't even know what the shoes would have been.
Oh, we simply must.
But you'll basically be wearing what's in fashion now
because it's done a full loop. That's what I was thinking about.
Oh my god, you'd be baggy, loose. Skater shoes.
I'd have to shower a lot. Yeah, I saw some
teenagers yesterday and I was like, I said to
Shana, I was like, it is so wild
that they are dressing how we dressed.
I know, but not... And then we were like,
well, it's bedtime, couple of Werther's,
better take the false out.
Yeah, that's sad.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day is another wind fact.
Oh, okay.
Yesterday we talked about the wind.
Here on Wind Week.
Is it Wind Week?
It's Wind Week here at ZM.
Is it Wind Week here at Fact of the Day?
It is.
Well, what was Monday's wasn't wind related.
Oh, okay.
Well, Wind Week does a four-day week.
Okay.
Yeah. Yeah, we're going to do Monday. It's lazy and working from home. Yeah. Well, when Wind Week does a four-day week. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah,
we're going to do Monday.
It's lazy and working from home.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Blow away.
Okay,
so a shortened Wind Week
makes my jobs
a little bit harder,
but.
Yeah.
Yeah,
sure.
Well,
today's Fact of the Day
rolled in after yesterday's
Fact of the Day
about the wind socks
at the airport.
Did it blow in?
How hard the wind is blowing. Did it blow in? How hard the wind is blowing.
Did it blow in?
It blew on in.
Thank you.
It rolled, tumbled in, like a tumbleweed in wind.
And someone said, you should look into the fact that,
this is my one, I always say at parties,
but I've never really looked it up,
so I could be spreading misinformation.
That the wind doesn't really blow.
It is more accurate to say the wind is being sucked.
What?
Wind is air moving from a high pressure area
to a low pressure area.
And the low pulls the pressure from the high
to try to like make itself not low anymore.
It's like gravity kind of. Yeah. It's like gravity kind of.
Yeah.
It's pulling it.
So technically, it's being sucked towards the low.
Sucked or pulled?
Well, sucking is pulling.
Yeah, okay.
You could say, I'm going to pull this drink up the straw.
Or you could say, I'm going to suck the drink up the straw.
Okay, yeah, right.
So it's like trying to even itself out.
And sucking uses vacuum.
Well, I guess it is...
You had a different sort of pull, though.
Pull towards yourself.
Yeah, right.
So it's more accurate to say the wind is pulling,
being pulled rather than blowing.
Right.
Because you imagine it's like...
Being pushed from behind.
It's being pushed from behind and it's hitting you.
So you could say the wind's being pulled from the south.
You could say.
Yeah, you could say. Or you could say the south is sucking the wind. south. You could say. If it was a southerly.
Yeah, you could say. Or you could say the south is sucking the wind.
Yeah.
Oh, there's a fair way out.
No, the north is sucking the wind from the south.
Oh, pulling it from the south.
Yeah.
Because you would say it's a southerly if it's coming from the south,
but you would say the north's sucking it.
Yeah.
That would be great for the weather, eh?
Well, we've got some fine weather here in Auckland.
However, a little bit of wind. The north is utterly
sucking the wind. Yeah, up from the south.
Up from the south. And that's why you're getting
the colder temperatures, because the wind's been
sucked from the south. Yeah.
To the north.
Would you grow up, Fletch?
I'm just trying to listen to the fact of the day.
You could say that and absolutely be
totally correct. Yeah. Okay.
Wow. Someone's blowing in, blowing out.
They can't wait for tomorrow.
No, it's the west that's sucking.
The west is sucking.
Okay.
Wow.
Sucking them in.
I can't wait for tomorrow's wind back.
Sucky Wellington.
That doesn't work as well as windy Wellington.
I might attempt to find some extremities of wind.
Okay.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great, great, great.
I love wind week.
The strongest.
Yeah, wind week here at Fact of the Day is so great.
We should have themed weeks more often.
Yeah, we should mark this in the calendar for next year.
Wind Week is always the last week of August.
Last week of August is Wind Week.
Last week can't be every year.
Yeah, it is.
No, no, no.
That sounds like it's going to be harder and harder to do every year.
You don't hear the people at Discovery saying,
oh, we can't do Shark Week again.
We did it last year.
Yeah, because they're always getting sweet new shots
of sharks going absolutely bananas
on like a diving cage or something.
You're going to have a whole year.
Look, if you can't keep up, mate, just say.
I can't keep my head above water here.
If you can't handle the workload, just admit it.
Yeah, look, it's not for everyone.
It's tough, I know.
I really feel like I'm being overloaded.
I need some time off. I'm just saying. Oh, my God,'s not for everyone. It's tough, I know. I really feel like I'm being overloaded. I need some time off.
I'm just saying.
Oh, my God.
Let's get merch for Wind Week.
Yes, you're going to have a whole year to prepare for next week's Wind Week.
We could get someone to come dress the studio with wind themed.
And have strong fans going.
I can't wait for Wind Week.
Yeah, I'm the same.
Long tease, eh?
Do you want us next year?
No, I'll take a longer.
This year's Wind Week isn't finished.
Don't get excited for next year's Wind Week.
I know, but I'm already thinking about next Christmas.
We could get a sponsor on board, like someone that does
fans. Oh my god, Dyson.
The people with the big...
Big ass fans.
No, no, no. Wind turbines.
Oh yeah, Meridian. Palmerston North.

On a little adventure to find, not beading, some type of wood.
Skirting.
Not skirting.
Like that's, anyway, it's not important to the story.
Frame it.
No, it's going to annoy you that I can't think of what it is.
Stripper wood, a particular stripper wood. So this is why you were going to annoy you that I can't think of what it is strip of wood a particular
strip of wood
so this is why
you were going
to minor 10
went to minor 10
and I don't know
I always feel a little
bit VIP
because we go into
the trade
corner of it
the gate goes up
gate goes up
I've never been
they play
mainstream music
and then I'll
back a trailer
I'll back a trailer
and people stand
in their watch
and then you back
the trailer right and then you look around
and everyone's like...
But you're not tradies.
How are you allowed in that bit?
Because we spend enough to get a trade account.
Because you're doing renos.
We're doing renos.
Yeah, right.
And I know Dave.
We love Dave.
Well, we didn't...
I don't know Dave.
We'll introduce you to Dave.
We didn't know this though.
You can get a trade account.
What, are you going to take a lime scooter into the trading department?
How embarrassing.
And then I'll get a call from Dave.
I'll be like, Dave, Vaughan, is Dave here?
And I'll be like, hello, man, how are you?
And he's like, not good.
And I was like, oh, no, what's happening?
He's like, the guy you said was all good, he's not all good, man.
He came in here on a lime scooter.
He kept trying to get photos of it being like it's parked successfully
and it wouldn't let him.
He tried to tow a trailer with it.
Made such a scene.
Yeah, for my house plants.
Yeah.
Well, we went into the trade centre and
we pulled up
and Aaron knows them all by name. Now I get it.
What are we up to? G'day old mate.
Anyway, but as we were pulling around, there's one of them
there and I was like, man, I find that dude really sexy.
Aaron was like, oh yeah. And I was like, man, I find that dude really sexy. Aaron was like, oh yeah.
And I was like, man, I find him really hot.
He's a really hot guy.
Then he starts walking towards the truck.
Aaron puts the window down before we park.
And he's like, yeah, g'day Aaron, how are you?
And Aaron goes, yeah, yeah.
My girlfriend was just checking you out.
She reckons you're quite sexy.
Like straight up.
Who was it?
Is this, whoa, is this Westgate?
Yeah.
Who is it?
Oh, no. Don't make me do this.
Oh my God, did you just die?
Older fellow, tattoos.
Does he have a beard?
Yeah, he's a bit like, you're a rock and roll boy.
He's all in my vibe.
I just saw him there and I was like, you know, I've got this tradie thing.
Yeah.
He just had an energy.
And I said it to Aaron in the secrecy of our car in the secrecy of
our relationship yeah and he just it was like the first thing Aaron didn't even think oh yeah my
girlfriend oh he's called me his wife because it makes us feel more believable or something like
that oh my wife was just checking you out yeah she thinks you're really sexy and I was like
because that's embarrassing for him as well and And he just sort of was like, oh.
And then did a little twirl for me.
And I was like, oh, far out, Aaron. What have you done here?
I just can't believe he just came out and said it.
I wasn't joking.
And then I think that he sort of turned it into a funny thing.
And then I had to make, but I had to try to pretend like Aaron was joking.
No, I didn't.
Silly, silly Aaron.
But he could definitely tell.
And then I was blushing
and then I had to go back there later
to find something else
and I'd gone on my own.
And he was there
and now I'm acting weird around the guy.
Well, now it just looks like
you've gone back to checking out again.
Now it looks like I've gone back for seconds.
Similar but not really.
Last week, Georgia Burt,
in an attempt to ruin Kendall Jenner for me,
said,
do you know that Kendall Jenner for me said do you know that
Kendall Jenner's face
looks like Michael Jackson's
to which I said
this is ludicrous
and then her and Bryony
who work here
I've got this theory
that Kendall Jenner
has Michael Jackson's face
right
and then at the weekend
I sent them a picture saying
now this isn't Michael Jackson
it's a picture of Kendall Jenner
why were you just googling
on the weekend
and I was in my Instagram feed
I followed her because she's an entrepreneur.
And I said, can I grab that photo off your phone from earlier?
And she opened it up and there was the Kendall Jenner picture.
So then I had to explain the entire situation to her,
which I had conversational evidence to back up.
You're on it.
You're on it.
I present you evidence B.
But then for the rest of the weekend, it was like,
sorry, I'm not Kendall Jenner.
Oh, I know.
That, that, that.
This is what Aaron will do.
Aaron will do.
Be like, do you want to go to Mighty Teen?
Of course you do.
Of course you bloody do.
Yeah.
And next time Kendall Jenner will be on TV,
it'll be something like, your girlfriend's on TV.
Yes.
Play.

I don't know how Paternity leave works
In New Zealand
Paternity
So when you have a baby
You're allowed X amount of time off
Yeah basically
And now I think Cindy
Added time to it didn't she
That dads can also get some
Added paid time off
Fathers or partners are entitled to one week of unpaid leave
if they've worked for six months for at least an average of 10 hours a week
or two weeks of unpaid leave if they've worked for 12 months
or at least an average for at least 10 hours a week.
This is, again, single people get nothing.
When I got my cat, nothing.
Nothing.
I would have loved two weeks off.
There's no paid time off.
To bond.
You have to take unpaid leave. I'm only taking it if it's paid. I would have loved two weeks off. There's no paid time off. To bond. You have to take, it's
unpaid leave. No, I'm only taking it if it's paid.
I thought it was paid. No, no, no.
No, I'm sure New Zealand's added like
three months or something. I'm looking at the pocket.
No, that was for
the primary care, the primary
carer of the baby. Oh, yes, if you were
Which can be a man or a woman. Right.
Or anybody. Yeah, totally.
But it's their primary...
I'm getting a lot of eyebrows in the studio
because I only mentioned two genders there.
I apologise, I meant to include everybody.
Yeah.
By all means.
How do I...
If you're the primary caregiver, you get that time off.
Right.
That was extended.
Regardless of whether it came out of you or not.
Yeah, but I'm just saying
like for single people that don't want
kids, like if I get a cat
why can't I have three months off?
Well listen to this.
Listen to this. There is a man
who has had
what's it called? Statutory
paternity leave
for four out of the last five
years that he's worked for a company.
In the UK, you're entitled to two weeks of leave paid as a father
in the first 56 days of your child being born
at 90% of your average weekly earnings.
All you need to do is fill out a form with the due date of the baby,
when you want your leave to start,
and whether or not you want one or two weeks leave.
Okay.
You don't have to provide, in the UK,
any proof of the pregnancy or the birth.
So he has, every single year,
said he has kids, so now he's got four kids,
and taken two weeks off, paid,
in addition to the leave he already gets.
I love this.
Does he just not have chats with people at work?
Like, you know if people at work have babies.
No, you just have to constantly remember
how many fake kids you have.
Well, the way he does it at home.
They're not going to come to the family picnic?
No, they're away.
The factory family picnic?
They're away.
He says, work, I've never checked for proof of an actual baby,
but just to be safe, I've Googled random babies as my phone screensaver
and I change it every time I become a dad again.
So he Googles babies, puts them on there and is like,
here's the newest addition.
And so, so far, he's up to what, six weeks free leave?
Two, four, six, eight weeks.
Eight weeks.
Oh, my God.
In addition to his holiday pay.
Yeah.
In addition to his leave he gets to take at Christmas and whatnot.
I love this.
Wait, so is this guy in the news because he's been found out or?
No, there was a confession, like an online confession threat.
Oh, look at Anonymous.
And then he did this and everyone was like, this can't be true.
And he was sending in the info, like all the forms and stuff from the government, I guess.
Yeah.
In the UK.
And he was like, no, this is it.
You just, you don't have to have any proof that a baby was born.
I guess if you sell a story long enough in advance,
like nine months out,
all my girlfriend's pregnant or my wife's pregnant.
Yeah, yeah, exciting.
Oh, how's she doing?
Oh, she's got, she's bloated.
Oh, morning sickness.
Oh my God.
Sorry if I'm a bit tired.
My wife was up all night last night spewing.
Does she exist? Thewing. Does she exist?
The wife?
Does she exist?
Then you can do that thing that parents always,
oh my God, I've got to take them to the doctor.
They're sick again.
You know daycares.
Oh, I know.
Now, I'm sorry.
I'm going to be working from home.
My wife, she's just so unwell.
We thought first trimester was bad.
God, the second one, it's terrible.
Oh my God, that's quite funny.
It's bloody good. It's genius. If we could, I don't
think we could get away with it in New Zealand. I just had another baby.
Did you? No, you didn't.
Yep. I had drinks with Sade
like a month ago. Oh, yeah, she didn't.
This is the third one, so you just kind of
play a little bit loose. It doesn't matter as much.
She was really drunk.
I mean, that's not...
Yeah.
I mean, the first two are Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah.
I mean, the first two are pretty clever,
so you just want to average it out a bit.
You don't get a holiday.
Hey, guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough.
They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends.
So people are clearly liking it,
but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes
yeah same
you know the real losers
out there
same
no no no
we won't say nice
maybe we should even
encourage people to
listen to other podcasts
that the company makes
oh no but only
after ours
yeah nah
nah don't do that
and not more than ours
give us a sexy little
review though
