Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. You haven't even got your microphone tuned up the right way, Vaughan. I haven't erected it. You need to erect your microphone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's pointing down. There you go. Now it's up in my face. Full mast. Here I am. How are you? How are you, boys? Good Now it's up in my face. Full mast. Here I am. How are you? How are you boys? Good. It's warm in here. It's freezing here. Oh, I'm warm.
Starting point is 00:00:32 You're in a cold, damp Airbnb. Broadcasting. Is it damp? It's not as damp, but it's definitely cold. Well, you're in an Airbnb. When you're staying at a hotel or a motel or an Airbnb, you crank the heating.
Starting point is 00:00:46 You're not paying for it. Yeah. I know. I think this place is an Airbnb because it doesn't have heating, Fletch. So I think. Oh, right. Oh, I see. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Would it be unprofessional of me to slip into my robe? Absolutely not. No, absolutely not. Please do. It's my privilege of broadcasting from not studio, is I can wear a robe. Do it. Knock yourself out. If it makes you warmer, more comfortable.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Coming up on the show, the top six. Yep. Go again, Tommy? No, no, no. I want him to try. I want to see him try and remember. Oh, yeah, it's my one. It was my idea.
Starting point is 00:01:26 It was Vaughan's idea today. There is a Karangahape Road. Road? K-Road. K-Road. K-Road, yeah. Karangahape Road fragrance. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Who's making this? Well, it was all put into one pharmacy, and they had the pharmacist on the news last night, and he was like, it's all sold out. There's a waiting list for it. I mean, I lived just off K Road for like 10 years. How would you describe the smell? Pungent at times.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Well, it depends if you went up on a Sunday morning. Yeah, maybe the odd little bit of lettuce on the footpath. Well, I've got a bit of blood. I've got the top six. Always fights. Just a little bit of blood. Yes, there was. Silly. There's definitely blood on it. Well, I've got a bit of blood. I've got the top six. God, I've got just a little bit of blood. Yes, there was. Silly.
Starting point is 00:02:06 There's definitely blood on it. Well, I've got the top six scents. Fine notes. Yeah. That you may smell in the Karangahape Road perfume. It's coming up in the top six. Next on the show, though, why it's bad if you blow out at uni
Starting point is 00:02:22 and put on the fresher 5 or the fresher 10. I think I put on about 10, probably the fresher 10. Apart from the obvious reasons. Yeah, apart from... Is there more? Yeah, there's long-term bad news. I've put on my mid-30s 30.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Really loving that. Is that in total since the fresher 5? Yeah, yeah, so it's 35 in total The 20s 10 and the Fresher 30 I'll give you this bad news next We all know the fresher 5 or the fresher 10
Starting point is 00:03:01 The amount of KGs you put on at university Of course As a fresher Yeah, because you're responsible for your own nutrition or five or the fresh of ten, the amount of KGs you put on at university. Of course. As a fresher. Yeah, because you're responsible for your own nutrition. Nutrition in quotations. Yeah. And you can just get fast food whenever you want, energy drinks, a lot of booze.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It's a cheap version. Or if you move into halls of residence and they – Oh, they love the carbs. They're on the 80s food pyramid where carbohydrates is definitely the building block of every meal. So many tops. So many tops. Tops and macs and cheese.
Starting point is 00:03:33 But it's so yum. It was a lot of beers and Eagle Boys pizza for me. Oh, carb heavy. Very carb heavy. 800-101-101. Yes. What happened to them? They get bought out by someone.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah, I think they did actually. God, they were a good pizza. It was a good, yeah. A good swirly barbecue sauce. Oh, yeah, they weren't afraid of the sauce. They weren't afraid of the sauce. It was an Australian fast food. Yeah, it was an eagle.
Starting point is 00:03:55 It was an eagle. It was a lad. Yeah. What the? Sale, yeah, they ended. No, but that was in Australia. They ended with a sale. The pizza hut. They're definitely no longer No, but that was in Australia. They ended with a sale to Pizza Hut.
Starting point is 00:04:05 They're definitely no longer here, right? They just got... They left New Zealand well before 2016. Sale to Pizza Hut. That happened at July 15, 2016, Eagle Boys Pizza. God, no. This was like early 2000s. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Yeah, I think so too. Well, researchers from the University of British Columbia suggest that poor dietary habits established when you're at college... Initially called Beagle Boys after the bad guys from Scrooge McDuck and DuckTales. And, well, you know, Disney doesn't muck around when it comes to... No, they don't, no. ...comes to that, so they became Eagle Boys. Well, if I could just interrupt you with your pizza history of New Zealand, Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Researchers from British Columbia University have suggested that poor dietary habits, which are established at uni or while you're studying, can contribute to future health issues years later, including obesity, respiratory illnesses, and depression. Everything you do when you're young just gets reversed. Well, you think so, right? Like you get healthy in your 20s, right? Or your 30s.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yeah, you learn more about how to eat. Yeah. So they researched 12,000 medical students from 31 universities and had a look at the association between eating behaviours and, yeah, down the track. That's what they're saying. So, yeah, your bad habits in college years can persist for decades to come. Well, yeah, I developed a pretty bad habit for wine at university,
Starting point is 00:05:39 and that sort of continues. How's that going for you? Yeah, well, it's just getting stronger and stronger. Yeah. The more money I make, the more I can afford to just have wine when I like. Yeah. No, I just,
Starting point is 00:05:53 you can't spend your university years, like, thinking about, oh, I've got to look after myself. Oh, I'm going to be in my 30s and my 40s. Like, uni students aren't, like, making salads and stuff, are they? God, no. No, no, no. I mean, they are now.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Are they? Because this is the generation where they're not drinking as much. Oh, yeah, right. They're not, you know. And they've got all the TikTok food stuff, you know. Yeah. Everybody's like, how to make the green goddess salad. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Yeah. Smoothie recipes. Yeah. How the hell are they going to afford a bloody cucumber though? Oh my God. Oh my God. I didn't even realise cucumber was an issue. How much a cucumber?
Starting point is 00:06:32 $7 for a tiny telegraph yesterday. I saw it at the supermarket. Yeah, I went to the local bloody New World and it was $8. Oh, that's just not worth mine. My wife was influenced by 1H Sproul on this soupy situation. Oh, yeah. And she got the soupy and the cucumber was way cheaper and it was way bigger.
Starting point is 00:06:51 She's a size queen. She's a size queen. She loves a big cucumber. She loves a girthy one. Yeah, just quickly back to Eagle Boys. 1996 Eagle Boys set up in New Zealand. Stallone's pizza owner Gavin Cook agreed to merge with Eagle Boys to provide an established base in the South Island.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Rapid expansion saw the Eagle Boys chain grow to over 54 national outlets in the country by the early April 2000. In 2000, though, all New Zealand stores were sold to restaurant brands for $28 million. Oh, that's not bad. He got out while the going was good, didn't he? Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah. And you may remember this. Eagle Express, where you were guaranteed, if you turned up in store between 5.30 and 8 p.m., you could get a pizza within two minutes. But it had to be one of their four most popular pizzas because they just made them and constantly kept them hot. And if they were in the heater for longer than 30 minutes,
Starting point is 00:07:43 they were in the bin. Jeepers. Because they get too chilly. Well, that's who I blame for my ongoing health issues. Decades later. Well, they're not around either, so. I can't see them. No harm if they have a little fast food history then.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. There is a young woman. She's 22 years old. She was studying biomedical science to become a doctor. Okay. Very difficult thing to study. Takes a lot of time. A long time.
Starting point is 00:08:13 What is it, seven years or something? Yeah, it's a long time. And then all they do is they give you a cream, don't they? They give you a hydrosilk cortisone cream every time. Oh, no, exactly. Exactly. I could do that. I've got buckets of the stuff. Even your expired stuff got rid of my butt rash that time. I know, exactly. Exactly, I could do that. I've got buckets of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Even your expired stuff got rid of my butt rash that time. You're welcome. Yeah, thank you. Anyway, so she had to quit her studies basically because it was getting way too expensive. It was like the debt was accumulating. She wasn't able to pay it. She was broke.
Starting point is 00:08:41 She was down. She was out. Struggling. In the words of Scribe, wondering how she's going to make it through. I wondered who you were quoting there for a second. A very relevant song for Scribe. Yeah, it is, yeah. Anyway, so she was looking at the option because I have to say,
Starting point is 00:09:01 I mean, she is a stunning woman. She is just in all the right places. She's gone to OnlyFans, hasn't she? Is that where this story's going to? She popped on. And, you know, started doing photos on OnlyFans and she was like, it is not going as fast or it's not as lucrative as I wanted it to be until
Starting point is 00:09:19 one day. So that's a problem a lot of people have is you don't get the numbers. How did you go? Because you started small, didn't you? Belly button. Belly button. Belly button. Yeah, I put things in.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I take things out. I put something else in. I take something else out. My favorite was when you put four M&Ms in your belly button. Yeah, that was really hot. I like that. That popped off, but not nearly as much as the baked beans. I like the one where you had a long straw from your mouth to your belly
Starting point is 00:09:47 button and you drunk monster energy out of yeah that was that was a that was a hot take actually that did really well with the motocross community it did yes yeah it did yeah lucrative well she was uh doing this and she was like oh it's not going that well and then someone started making strange requests to her it started with um someone uh offering to pay money for her to send them shower water, like collect shower water from her shower. Wait, she'd been in? Yeah, like so if you're under the water, just have a little like bucky collecting. If you're in a shub, you could easily collect it, couldn't you?
Starting point is 00:10:22 Or you just scoop it out. Scoop it out. Get a little... I'd have to charge extra because I pee in the shower like 90% of the time. Do you know what? I think that kind of, yeah, you would get to charge extra for that. You also pee in the gym shower and that's even worse because you can see it run. Every now and then.
Starting point is 00:10:38 What, am I going to get out and drip my way over to the toilet and then come back? Yes, please. No, sir. I'd be surprised if Les Mills even let you back in. I can't believe the things you've seen there, you're worried about a woman urinating, to be totally honest. That's at the very low end of gross stuff that's ended up on the shower floor. Through that tiled wall that leads from my bathroom to your bathroom,
Starting point is 00:11:01 different things are happening, Fletch. I'm not responsible for those. No, I know you're not. Anyway. I'm just saying that maybe you should... I only do it when there's no one in the next cubicle. Anyway. So she was asked for shower water
Starting point is 00:11:15 and then she was asked for other sort of bits and bobs, you know, a photo of this and a photo of that. The thing that she is making, $10,000 New Zealand dollars a week. What? Are you kidding me? $10,000 a week is collecting her spit. It's sending it to people.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Oh no. That makes me feel gross. Who's paying for that? Well she charges based on... That was the worst time to have a drink That was quite a salivary sounding drink Sorry it was because that made me feel sick That I just needed like a
Starting point is 00:11:50 Little palate cleanser So she charges based on Like how the interaction is going Whether she can feel she can get a lot of money out of them She charges anything from like 500 to 1000 dollars For a vial Just of her spit.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Is that dangerous? Because that's what you send away to Ancestry.com to do your DNA. I thought you were saying she could be spreading a disease. Yeah, I suppose so. What are they doing with it?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Well, that's a question. You're not here to kink shame, are you? Absolutely not. No, but wow. She's also been asked for her slept in bed sheets. They ask her to sleep in them for a week and then send them off. Oh, do they? You get a nice new set of sheets.
Starting point is 00:12:37 No, but bed sheets aren't cheap. No. Oh, my God, yeah. Mine are like hundreds of dollars. I'm not sending those off. I'd get some cheap Kmart ones. Yeah. Some microfibers.
Starting point is 00:12:47 I'd be like, sheets, $80. Yep. Sleep, well, it's fair, $100 a night. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. I'd always be earning enough money to be buying some sheets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And then if it's a business situation, if you're paying tax, that's GST claimable on those sheets. As well as any sort of tax deductibility. As OnlyFans, and if you need to buy things for OnlyFans tax deductible, we'll need to talk to Alan. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:15 We'll need to talk to Helen. Helen will know. She also sells gym clothes she's worked out in. Oh no. Bath water, toothbrushes, and toothpaste spit. And people are actually, and she's making $10,000 a month. No.
Starting point is 00:13:35 No, sir. A week. A week. Oh, wow. So as a result of this, right, she was like doing this to pay off her student debt. And then she was like, I don't even need to be a doctor. So she's just quit medical school. And she's making more money doing this to pay off her student debt. And then she was like, I don't even need to be a doctor. So she's just quit medical school. And she's making more money doing this.
Starting point is 00:13:49 I think she's just going like the time is now. I'm young. I'm hot. I'm happy to do this. It's really empowering. You know, like I'm making all this money. She's paid off all of her debt and her mother's debt. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Go for it. Well, you save up and then just finish your med school later when you start getting old and ugly. Yeah. I mean, it's going well. I'm considering this because there's a picture of her in a spa bath with a glass of champagne in Santorini. Oh, that's your lifestyle. That is who I want to be.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah. I could spit so much in Santorini. Well, you could work from home. Yeah. I could spit so much in Santorini. Well, you could work from home. Yeah, totally. Well, then now my home office is tax deductible as well. Because it's in Santorini. I'm just constantly thinking of the tax benefits here. Is she getting away with this, though?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Is she making so much money because she's hot? Dude, she is so hot. Oh, you see, that's the thing. I don't think everyone can pull that off. Sorry? What? No, I just said generally. I just said generally I don't think everyone can pull that off. What? No, I just said generally. I just said generally. I don't think everybody could pull that off because. Mark my words.
Starting point is 00:14:49 In one year, in one year's time, 30th of May, 2024, I'll quit this job. Because I'll be making so much money selling my gym leggings and my spittle. You'd have to go to the gym. Oh, do I? I was going to do fake workouts. Fake workouts and fake sweat. You know, because sometimes you get a more pungent stink from sitting around doing nothing all day.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Because, you know, it's not like... You know, sometimes you take your clothes off at the end of the day doing nothing, you're like, oh, my God. I've done nothing. You've done nothing, but it's because when you go to the gym and you sweat, I'm imagining the stinky particles to the sweat particles, the ratio is better. But when you sit around the gym and you sweat, I'm imagining the stinky particles to the sweat particles, the ratio is better.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But when you sit around, there's no sweat particles. It's just all those stank particles. Just stank. So there you go. You can sit around doing nothing. Way to make some money. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Silly little pose. Silly little pose. It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little pose. Silly Little Pole It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole
Starting point is 00:15:54 Today's Silly Little Pole. Do you like pitch invaders? That's what you call them if they're clothed. If they're nude, streakers. Yes. The Warriors game in Napier at the weekend. Absolutely plagued by it. How many of them were nude?
Starting point is 00:16:09 I don't know how many were nude. I saw a couple of the ones I saw because I guess they could show it because they're clothed. Yeah. Clothed.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And then a lot of people like trying to make the run for it and then getting stopped. Yeah. It just kind of became a bit... Red Badge got some big hits. Yeah. Oh, Red Badge.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Red Badge love a clothesline on a streaker, don't they? Yeah. Or, you know, one's hot on their tail, and then someone else jumps in front, and the streaker stops, and they just absolutely fold them in half. Do you like Pitch Invaders or streakers?
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yes, 26%. No, 74%. Yeah. Well, it became... It got a bit much, didn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It got overdone. Like one rogue, nudie streaker in one game every now and again.
Starting point is 00:16:50 If they pick a quiet moment, if someone's down, seeking medical attention, if the field of play is stopped, sure. But not constantly like that. Not when a match is like tied and there's two minutes to go. Yeah, don't interrupt the game. It stinks of, like, give me attention. And I know that smell very well. It's a smell I'm quite familiar with.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's a smell I exude on a regular basis. But, you know, it's like when kids used to show off and they'd come into the lounge, you know, when your parents were entertaining, you're like, and you just think you're so funny. And your parents were entertaining, you're like, ah, and you just think you're so funny. And your parents are like, you're showing off. Go to bed. That's what it feels like.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah, get out of here. 100%. Get out of here. Well, some messages in. Sarah says, because I know, because no one gets into their birthday suit anymore to streak. If you're going to do it, you've got to do it properly. Yeah, we want to see a little bit of baps. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Yes. We want to see some bits and pieces jingling, jangling. Yeah, we want to see a little bit of baps. Yeah. We want to see some bits and pieces jingling, jangling. Yeah, so you can see your bat and your ball. Arana says, what is the actual point of it? I think you've stumbled across one of the great things about humans. We don't actually need a point to do anything.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yeah, no. In fact, some of the things that happen most often, zero point to it. It's kind of lads egging each other on, or it's a bet, right? Yeah. A lot of the time. Angela says, I work for one of the stadiums and it's so frustrating they don't realise how much they impact everything and the wasted resources
Starting point is 00:18:13 we have to dedicate to this. Beer wouldn't cost as much if we didn't have to worry about them. No, that's not a direct result. No, that's just price gouging from the stadiums. Yeah. 100%. They all keep that price gouging from the stadiums. Yeah, 100%. Don't tell me if all of a sudden everybody agreed to stop streaking stadiums
Starting point is 00:18:29 it'd also be like, and the beers are now significantly cheaper. Beer's now $4, everybody. Whatever. Either you own the stadium, Angela, and you're lying to us, or you've fallen for your employees' lies. I think so, yeah. You've been lied to. Anyway, there's lies. Jared says,
Starting point is 00:18:45 I like it when they get absolutely folded like origami by a security guard who's at least 50 kgs heavier than them. And then they end up kind of wrestling and the security guard's got like a ball in his face.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. Oh, so good. Great stuff. Sweaty gooch on the shoulder. Oh, yeah. Gooch on the chin. Hell of a place for a gooch. Connor says,
Starting point is 00:19:04 one may be funny, but if you're not the first to do it, everybody just thinks you're very cringe on the night. 100%. Yeah, which is an absolutely fair call. Connor. Dan says, first time you said it's funny, and I want to see some different streakers. Like someone should streak a filming of MasterChef,
Starting point is 00:19:24 but the thing is the minute it's live, they're just going to edit that straight out. Yeah. Do you remember that streaker? What was his name in the UK? But he went and did it too many times. Jarvo? Oh, yeah, and he would sneak out for the lineups and stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah, and he'd actually dress like them, and he carried his bat out in a cricket game once. Oh, yeah, that's right. That was pitch invading yeah because he was fully clothed Lisa said they bring some life to boring as shit games
Starting point is 00:19:49 harmless bit of entertainment alright Lisa why are you at the game she hates it she's watching it she hates it don't know what she's saying
Starting point is 00:19:58 we've got it's not the 1930s we've got so many entertainment options sounds like she's been dragged along to some cricket matches yeah
Starting point is 00:20:04 yes Steph said pitch invader equals annoying streaker equals funny We've got so many entertainment options. Sounds like she's been dragged along to some cricket matches. Yeah. Yes. Steph said, pitch invader equals annoying. Streaker equals funny. Since when did just running on a field fully clothed become a thing? If you're going to do it, you've got to be naked. Yeah, I agree with that. You simply want to see some bits. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Give me something for my money. I'll tell you what. Lube yourself up too. Make yourself real hard to grab. Like a greased up pig. Oh, great. But then you're going to lube the field. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Someone just running in for a try. An all-black's running in for a try and then slips on your lube patch. Don't lube yourself from the knees down. No, but you'll fall on the ground. No, but you'll only fall if they can grab you and you'll be so lube that they won't be able to. Torso only. Okay. Yeah, lube it up.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Lube up the arms. Yeah, but you've always got to tackle the legs. Go around the legs. You go around the legs. Well, lube it up. Lube up the arms. Yeah, but you've always got to tackle the legs. Go around the legs. You go around the legs. Well, that'll teach the security guards from going too high.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Oh, there you go. It's a little poll. Done and dusted. Streakers, it's thumbs down. Play ZM's Fletch Vodanale. Play ZM. I saw this on the TikTok. It is a couple.
Starting point is 00:21:03 They are in their boudoir. Set the scene. They've got a oatmeal linen duvet. The lights are on and their door hardware. Oh, it's cheap. Is this meant to be on TikTok? No, no, no, no. It's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Oh, it's not spicy. Basically, this is the hypothetical I want to pose to you, Vaughn, as a man who loves both Lego and women. Okay. It's a Venn diagram there. The circles are on top of each other. Yeah, they're pretty. It's just a circle.
Starting point is 00:21:41 You can't even see the second circle. It's so Venn. It's one circle. It's called Lego and Woman. The Vaughan Smith story. Well, TikTok is basically the woman's behind the camera. She's the voice. And he's got this brand new box of Lego.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And he's opening it like he's so excited. And she says, hey, babe, before you start that, just quickly look at me. And he looks and he's like, ah! And she's clearly naked. Right? She's clearly something's out. Right. Be at the top or the bottom.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Put some clothes on. What if a bit of Lego gets lost in there? Okay, I think I already know where your hypothetical's going to go. And then she says to him, would you rather do that or would you rather do me? And he immediately goes, ah, what kind of a question is that? And then he goes, I have been waiting for this for a really long time. And then she's like, oh, so you've made your choice.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And he says, no, but everyone knows that he's really. He's made his choice for Lego. What's his Lego? What Lego set has he got? Let me have a little looky. It's like a big set. Like it's a massive box. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:22:43 He holds up the. What's he doing? Is he sitting on his bed unpacking the Lego? Yeah. Oh, my God. It's a massive box. Hang on, he holds up the... What's he doing? Is he sitting on his bed unpacking the Lego? Yeah. Oh, my God. And that's amateur stuff. You've got to sit at the dining table and unpack the bags of Lego. Pieces will get lost.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah. Hang on, I've just made it so much worse. The Lego he's constructing is a giant baby Yoda. Oh, I've done that one. That's also a circle. A Star Wars circle. That's a... You've got Star Wars circle. That's a... You've got Star Wars, Legos, and a woman.
Starting point is 00:23:08 On top of each other there. Yeah. I mean, he made the choice. I think he went for the boobs. He went for the boobs? He went for the boobs. Yeah, because he knows he can... They're not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:23:18 But neither is the Lego. It is. You've got to do it immediately or the Lego fairies will steal it back. No, the Lego's not going anywhere. You can just, yeah, just do it later. No, no, no, no. I would never open the box of Lego without the time to fully finish whatever I was building. So if you'd opened it, you were committed?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yeah. Like I see some people do it over a few days. It's like, no, clear the schedule, wake up early in the morning and get it all done in one day. Like I need the kitchen table for the day. If you've got the kitchen table all set up and you're like, oh my God, I'm going to do the little baby Yoda and then I've got my box out and I'm putting that thing
Starting point is 00:23:49 and I'm putting it all together and then Sade walks in and she's like, whistling. Yeah. Hey, Vaughn. Yeah. So I imagine you're a sex life.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I'll be like, yeah, chuck the jug on. Actually, you're dead right. I do need a coffee to concentrate on this Lego. Whoa. Okay. There's time for that later.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm Legoing. You would go for the Lego. Absolutely. But you can come back to the Lego. Okay. There's time for that later. I'm Legoing. You would go for the Lego. Absolutely. But you can come back to the Lego. You only need five minutes. You're like, there's time for it later. Do you think that Sade is going to come back to you once she's been shut down for a round of Lego?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah. When she was already gone. I'll be so exhausted after this Lego build, I'll be in no mood. Exactly. For lovemaking for a couple of days. Right, okay. You know, I'll need time to recharge. Eggs for lovemaking for a couple of days. Right, okay. You know, I'll need time to recharge.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, yeah. So you've also got to remember, I've been in this relationship for nearly 20 years. Like, Legos coming straight out of, you know, the plastic. It's a fun new build. Yeah, yeah. You know. Well, everyone, a lot of the comments on TikTok are that
Starting point is 00:24:43 he's made the wrong decision. That he should have just stuck with the Lego. The Grogu Lego set. Yes, stick with Lego. It's good fun. Nerds, eh? Such great fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Well, that's good. Well, I'm going to Legoland soon. When we go to America, we're going to Legoland. So if there's a woman there. Holy moly. Holy moly. Well, your wife will be there. Well. Oh, going to Legoland. So if there's a woman there... Holy moly. Well, your wife will be there. Oh, yeah, of course. That woman. That was what I was talking
Starting point is 00:25:12 specifically about. You might explode. I could. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the Top Six. Hello.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Well, when you talk about... Oh, good, thank you, babe. Oh, my God, you're looking so good. Oh, I am not. I am not. I feel like a dumpster. No, you're so not a dumpster. I can't fit none of these cookies.
Starting point is 00:25:51 You do love a cookie. I've seen them. Well, when it comes to roads synonymous with culture, it'd be hard to go past Karangahapi Road in Auckland. It's hard because I lived near just off K Road for like 10, was it 10? Maybe even more, 12 years? You lived there for a long time. And in the last, like, 10 years, it has gone posh, eh?
Starting point is 00:26:14 There's some posh parts. Let's put it this way. You would never have bought an $18 Reuben sandwich on K Road in 2007. No, you wouldn't have. Let's put it that way, shall we? There's some amazing restaurants and cafes and bars and shops.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But some people don't like the changes because it's, you know, it was a real hubbub of, say it was the centre of like drag
Starting point is 00:26:38 and LGBTQI. Yeah. And like the 80s and 90s and it was like this real melting pot of miscreants and dark, dingy alleyways and deviancy. I mean, there's still a bit of that. It's hard to get rid of that.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I mean, you know, it's, yeah, if you're out there on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I remember being on a very early Sunday morning and I was heading somewhere and I got a very important phone call. So I just tucked over on the side of the road. And then a lovely sex worker hopped in my car. You know what?
Starting point is 00:27:14 I think you're about the fifth person I know personally that that's happened to. Yeah. And she was like, what do you want? And I was like, oh, no, no, no. I'm just on a phone call. And then you're like, well, we are here. Yeah. How much, love? we are here. Yeah, no. How much, love?
Starting point is 00:27:27 What are we talking? What are we talking? What are we talking? It's Sunday after all. Yeah. The Lord's Day. So somebody's made a fragrance of K-Road, a perfume. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:27:36 This is like, is this a marketing gimmick from the business ass? Maybe. The business ass is out there shaking it. Yeah. It says that the perfume includes wet pavement, beer, infused leather, incense burn, and coffee. Oh, your incense burn.
Starting point is 00:27:52 There's some amul too. I don't know what it is about this. And the tan of amul. I don't know what it is about this perfume, but... I love you! And it's really opened everything up. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Is there a toilet nearby? Well, I have got the top six notes I could smell in the Karangahape Road. Okay. I raised a question just before you get into this. Okay. Being a Wellington girl, Hayley, what would smell nicer, the Courtney Place perfume or the K-Road perfume? K-Road, because at least K-Road, like when you said incense,
Starting point is 00:28:28 I was like, oh yeah, there's all the hippie shops and, you know, Sandalwood really. Cubic's got a, well, you can tell when you're within a block of Cosmic Corner or whatever it's called now because you can smell the incense. But it's hard to get past the smell of white people dreadlocks on Cuba. Yeah, yeah, that's just... Whereas Courtney Place perfume would just smell like chunny. Chunny and regret. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Chunny, piss and regret. And fountain, bucket fountain water. Yeah. No, that's Cuba Street. Courtney Place is the club street. But around the corner. Oh, yeah, yeah. Same for sin. Gotcha, gotcha. I understood. Yeah, okay. Same for sin. Gotcha, gotcha. I understood. Yeah, okay. Same for sin.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Well, I've got the top six notes I could pick up from the Karangahape Road perfume. I'm actually wearing it. So I'll give it number six on the list. Oh, that is a subtle nod. Oh, yes, it's a lovely... It's a couple having a drunken row in the middle of the road. Oh, that's a fight.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's what that smell is there. You know that well, right? I've had one or two. The long time ago. I'm going to give this another smith. Smith? Fraudian slip. I'm going to give this another sniff. The notes you can smell in the new Karangahapi
Starting point is 00:29:43 road perfume, that is oh, it's a drunkenly dropped kebab, that one there. The notes you can smell On the new Karangahapi Road Perfume That is Oh It's a drunkenly Dropped kebab That one there Oh no It's just been Peeled open
Starting point is 00:29:52 You're getting it all The tabbouleh The garlic The yoghurt It's all starting to flow out But you've dropped it And now you can't eat it And the herb is here
Starting point is 00:29:59 So you can't get another one Oh no Sorry Okay I'll just give this one Another sniff For number four On the list of the top six Notes you can smell On the Kar. Sorry. Okay, I'll just give this one another sniff. For number four on the list of the top six notes, you can smell on the Karangahapi Road perfume.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Oh, I know what that is. What's that? That's Vom'd Up Pals in the gutter. Someone had too many palses. It has a distinct smell. Someone had too many vodka-based palses. Passion Fruity? The purple can.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah, I was going to say the purple can. It's the purple can. Okay, number three on the list of the top six notes I can smell in the Cairo perfume. Nangs. Nangs, I can smell nangs. It's the metallic sort of. It's the metallic mixed with the latex of the balloon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:43 It's a whole thing. I can even smell a little bit of the cardboard box it comes in. Yeah. It smells like whipped. Anyway, that's how I can smell. Number two on the list of the top six notes, you can smell on the Karangahapi Road perfume. I can hear the birds at your Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I mean, I just heard the birds. It was lovely, wasn't it? That was so nice. That was so nice. That, my friends, what I'm picking up there, it's a deeper, it's a more subtle note, but it's a turboed Honda Civic running really rich. Oh, yeah, nice. Really rich.
Starting point is 00:31:14 You want that. Take off there at the, you know, Upper Queen. Hear the lights, yeah. Upper Queen K Road intersection. Okay, number one, Just give this one more. The top six scents I can deduce from the new Karanga Happy Road perfume. That is a tipped over rubbish bin, but it's got at least three species feces in it. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Dog. Yeah. Human. And raccoon? Didn't even know we had raccoon. That can't be right. That can't be right. That can't be right. Awesome?
Starting point is 00:31:50 No, it's raccoon. Oh, wow. It's one of the kind of roads with many secrets, it turns out. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. But brace yourself and maybe cup yourself. Okay. Because I've got a terrible story for those with a penis.
Starting point is 00:32:07 There was a man who was having some fun with a female. And while, boy, oh, boy, they were going, going and having a good time when there was a good old-fashioned case of slippage and didn't quite catch it in time and accidentally caught it on something that blocked it and
Starting point is 00:32:34 Too late. I love how you're dancing around this. And there was a bending? There was a hit and a bend and an immediate loss of the good feeling time. What it snapped? Did he break it? This man basically broke his penis in three places.
Starting point is 00:32:57 My first question was, there's no bones in there. How do you break? How old were you when you realised there's no bone in your boner? There's no bone in your boner. There's no bone. I don't know. Do you remember just being like, oh, what? There's not?
Starting point is 00:33:11 Yeah. I don't think I ever assumed there was. Yeah, I just can't remember. Yeah. But I do remember being surprised at one stage. It's like, really? But when it's relaxed, you'd be like, where do the bones go? Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Well, there's no bones, but what there is is there is a series of blood vessels that run along the length of it. And one in particular, which is called the corpora carvinosa, that's the one that fills up with blood and hardens, right? Right. So when he broke his willy, so basically he went to the hospital and was like, hey, this is very sore now, and there's been blood coming out of it for five hours. What? Okay, wow. I would have gone a lot sooner.
Starting point is 00:33:56 But you know, guys. I know. It'll heal. This happens to everyone. Blood out of the urethra for five hours is absolutely fine. So basically what they found was that there's two spongy tubes inside of it. Yeah. And they fill up with blood and harden, and that's what an erection is. And he had a tear from left to right through three of these tubes,
Starting point is 00:34:20 the tunica albugina, the corpora carnivosa, which is the main one, and the corpus spongusum. So a penis is like a glow stick. Kind of. Yes. You crack it and then you shake it. It mixes and it gets really fluoro yellow. Yeah, but in this case there's different layers of things
Starting point is 00:34:41 that aren't supposed to be and there was a break and that's where the blood ended. That's probably a really good analogy, maybe. So literally, because the blood vessels that fill up had snapped, that's why all the blood was coming out of those. Have you been clenching your... Dude, I'm clenching my penis and I don't even have one. I'm just like, oh, that's so horrible.
Starting point is 00:35:03 So I had a flatmate once that broke his banjo string. Yeah, I've had a friend who's done that too. The little string that connects it to the body, basically. And then it was just like... But you had to go to the A&E. Because, like, blood everywhere. Of course. Everywhere.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Like, insane. Yeah, terrible. He also tore through... Because like blood everywhere Of course Everywhere Like insane Yeah terrible He also tore through This The woman must have a very strong Perineum You know That thing
Starting point is 00:35:33 She's been doing her kegels Also tore through his urethra So like this guy's really stuffed to death Slow down Yeah The faster you go the bigger the mess Now that goes for Car accidents.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And... Yes. Hey, by the way, they peeled it all back, stitched it all up. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm cleatsing. Six months later, he's been fine. Like it's been fine. Okay?
Starting point is 00:36:00 This is like, he's good now. He's good now. I hope he slows down and he's a more sensual lover slow don't be slamming i know exactly no slamming anyway this is probably one of the most horrific cases of of a sex injury i've ever heard in my life i want to hear more we want to know your boudoir injuries and they don't you don't have there doesn't have to be you know they don't have to be that graphic but, blood involved. They don't have to be that graphic. But yeah, have you, I mean, you could have just torn a
Starting point is 00:36:28 hammy. Well, we had a friend who got injured on a swing, didn't she? You know, it's fine. She shared it on Instagram. But like, you know, she was having a little play around in a swing and X, Y, Z and then broke the back. Maybe you've done an Achilles or you've broken your leg because you fell
Starting point is 00:36:44 off the bed. Yeah, maybe. It doesn't have to be like... You've done an Achilles or you've broken your leg because you fell off the bed. Yeah, maybe. It doesn't have to be like that. You've done an Achilles. Yeah. 0800 dials at M is the number. We want you to give us a call. Well, this poor fella was having a bit of adult fun time and tore through three blood vessels
Starting point is 00:36:59 in his member and it hurt. So, we are hearing about your injuries during adult fun time. Well somebody said we've set the bar very high. I did start with literally a man who tore his urethra and three blood vessels.
Starting point is 00:37:16 We're not asking you to beat it we're just asking you to match it. I know, I know. There is a lot of During my lesbian days of of course, lol. That's what they say. Oh, okay. On this text.
Starting point is 00:37:29 During my lesbian days... They dabbled. Brackets, OFC. Yeah, of course. Of course, yeah. Lol. That could be a lesbian acronym, though. Yeah, Only Females Club.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah, Only Females Club. Lesbians, oh, lesbians. Yeah. That's what LOL stands for. I had such an intense reaction, I convulsed backwards on the bed and hit my head on the side table, knocking myself out. Ten minutes later, I woke up very confused.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I can see why you've left those days behind you. The head injuries must have nearly done you in. What would you do if you were with someone and they knocked themselves out? Would you just be like, would you wait for them? Or would you be like, wake up. Hello. Do you call an ambulance? Hey, you're right.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I guess you assess the wound. If someone knocked themselves out cold, I'd call an ambulance. If someone just was a bit like, whoa, I banged my head, I feel a bit, I'd be like, take it easy. But if someone was out cold, I'd call an ambulance. Yeah. That's a concussion. Then you've got to wait for the ambulance to come
Starting point is 00:38:26 and then they're going to be like what's wrong and you'd be like she's a lady she just threw herself backwards and banged her head why was she throwing herself backwards because I'm very good
Starting point is 00:38:38 at my job I know what I'm doing I know what I'm doing I won't be blamed for this. Of course, these have got to be delicately approached. Someone said, when you said you'd done an Achilles, I thought you'd said you'd done an Achilles. I was like, what the hell is an Achilles?
Starting point is 00:38:59 No, no, no. No, Achilles. Achilles, because that's a leverage point as well. Anyway, again, dancing around that one. I have, shall we say, mis-tuned the banjo twice. Twice. Someone else had to have it surgically removed. Too grown up.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Is that, yeah. Is it elusive then? I don't know. It's like the tongue. It's like holding it in place. Yeah, we had a couple of messages on Instagram. Somebody said, yeah, they know people that have done the banjo string. And someone said, my partner put his back out. We told the physio he heard it putting on socks. Putting the stretch before and after and some core.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yeah. Just to hold that back all in place. How good is putting on socks, eh, for an ACC claim? Always good. Slip in the shower, put on socks. Yeah, but how embarrassing is it when you actually do hurt yourself putting on socks? And then everybody at the physiotherapy centre thinks you're lying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:59 We were playing about with my girlfriend, now wife. So it's good that they were playing about, but, you know, honest intentions all around. Get a ring on it and make an honest woman out of her. While thinking we were home alone at my parents', my parents came home and my girlfriend stood up so quick, she head-butted me because I was looking down and her head butted me straight in the nose and blood just poured out all over her head.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Obviously, it took some explaining. Oh, dear. Lots of accidents. Some more graphic ones. Yep. A lot of these can't be read out. A lot of them can't be read out. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:34 But you take care of yourself out there. Yes. Be safe. Slow down. Yep. Slow down. Follow the two second rule. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Work your way into it. Break on the straight before it's too late. Yes. There's another drive. A lot of road safety messages can apply to the bedroom. Yes. Work your way into it. Break on the straight before it's too late. Yes. There's another drive. A lot of road safety messages can apply to the bedroom. Yeah. Turns out. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Play ZM. Last night, my plans, after dinner, watch Succession. Oh, the final. No spoilers, but the final episode of Succession. The final episode. Not just season finale, the final episode of Succession. Good, the final. No spoilers, but the final episode of Succession. The final episode. Not just season finale, the final episode of Succession. Good. It was good.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah. I'm excited. It was like 85 minutes long. I haven't watched a single episode of any season, so now I've got the whole thing. You've got a lot ahead of you. You've got a lot of watching. Great show.
Starting point is 00:41:19 That was my plan. I say to the children, get out of the lounge, because this is not appropriate. Children watching. Is it? I say, get out of the lounge because this is not appropriate. Children watching. Is that? I said, get out of the lounge and go and read a book. Yeah. And so they're packing up, getting out of the lounge.
Starting point is 00:41:34 And August says to me, what's this on this cushion? Oh, not now. What do you mean what's on this cushion? Stop stalling. Get out of here. I'm about to watch a show full of swears. Yeah. And she's like, no, there's something on this cushion.
Starting point is 00:41:48 And I was like, oh, you guys have been, because they've both been sick. Oh, yeah. So they haven't been at school and they've just been like living on the couches. And I was like, oh, you've spilt something. What colour? Chocolate.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Oh, I'd say, do you know if I'll have one of those yogurts forever? What are those chocolate yogurts in the little pockets? Your pottles. Dairy food. I haven't had one of those forever. Do they eat those? We don't have chocolate dairy food in the house. Oh, those are so yum.
Starting point is 00:42:15 It was, and I said, sniff it. What is it? Now that was, she sniffed it and she's like, it's poos. And I was like, it's poos? Did they poo on the couch? I was like, what? This is why I don't want kids, ever. So it wasn't the children that pooed on the couch.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Oh, okay. It was the 16-year-old dog we've got. Well, how do you know it was that dog? Well, the other two dogs haven't been inside. And when I found 16-year-old dog sleeping on her bed in the laundry, I checked her rear end, and there was still ever-present evidence. Oh, yuck. She's old and can't poo properly through the fur.
Starting point is 00:43:02 For those that need a picture of this dog, it's what a dog would look like if it was on a zombie movie or The Walking Dead. Yeah. It's got patchy hair. It's skinny. Very patchy. It's or The Walking Dead. Yeah. It's got patchy hair. It's skinny. Very patchy. It's somehow defying death. Yeah. Every year.
Starting point is 00:43:12 2020 was a hell of a year for all of us, but that was the year that Lulu ran through a fire, got attacked by another dog, and had to have 12 teeth removed through an aesthetic, all while having a very noticeable heart murmur and the doctor said this could be
Starting point is 00:43:29 the end of her guess what it wasn't the end of her three years later here she is still going still going still going
Starting point is 00:43:34 she's so sweet she's deaf and blind deaf definitely deaf and blind got the misty eyes yeah
Starting point is 00:43:43 and apparently now struggles to poo all the way out and gets stuck. So someone later on today, and boy, oh boy, I don't know what you guys have got planned today, but I'm shaving a dog's ass area. With your beard trimmer.
Starting point is 00:43:59 No, no, no, no, no. We've got a special dog poo. Dog trimmer. Okay, right. A dog shaver. So I'm like, this is gross. So that pillow almost went straight to the bin. But there is. Yeah, that's gross. It's going to be one of those three wash things where it looks clean,
Starting point is 00:44:16 but you just keep washing it every time you do any towels or anything. Its energy isn't clean. Yeah, yeah. It needs a purer. It needs a saging. It needs a saging. So then I was like, I'm supposed to be watching Succession, god damn it.
Starting point is 00:44:28 So I pick this dog up and take it into the shower and it doesn't want to be in the shower and it's scattering all around the place. I'm like hold still, you're being washed. So I shampoo this dog completely down and then like towel dry this dog. And so I had a late night. You have to thumb anything
Starting point is 00:44:44 down the plug hole? Oh, not at all. Not at all. Okay, that's pretty gross. Did you have to pull some out or push some back in?
Starting point is 00:44:52 There was like, the area was thoroughly like, washed. I think you need to send this dog to a farm. No! Yeah,
Starting point is 00:44:59 you can't use that excuse when you kind of live on a farm. But, she's still been there last time we went to the vet for immunizations before she went to the kennels. They're like, she's still been there. Last time we went to the vet for immunisations before she went to the kennels, they're like, she's in remarkable health for a 16-year-old.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I'm like, what will stop this dog? She's like one of those 111-year-olds you see on the news and they're like, what's your secret? And they're like, Siggy's and lollies. Siggy's and Taylor. Siggy's and booze and lollies. 26 minutes away from eight.
Starting point is 00:45:23 And I said to the girls, this is a lesson in getting a pet. If you're not willing to wash that pet's ass when it's old, you're not ready to have a pet. Yeah. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. We just finished this big fat yawn. That was delicious.
Starting point is 00:45:40 There is a dating expert on TikTok. Now, you may hear me say that a bit, but this is a theory that I really like, even though it kind of offends me, and I'll explain why. Okay. She says that people that are having a hard time meeting someone on Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, all the apps, should try this theory called the Filet-O-Fish theory.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Now, you know I'm a strong spokeswoman, I'll say. You're an advocate. For the Filet-O-Fish. Big advocate. In fact, if there was a way to get one today, boy, oh, boy, I would. That's your number one burger choice. Yeah, I love it. And for Vaughan, for your wife, it's her secondary burger.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Yeah, it's her co-burger. Yeah, whereas I'm a quarter pounder first and always a quarter pounder followed by nuggies or a cheeseburger as a secondary. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I love a nuggies and a cheeseburger. Please don't get me wrong, but a Filet-O-Fish just has a freshness like no other. The steamed bun, it's like the sweet tartare.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I add lettuce. Mwah, mwah, mwah. Monster. Anyway, we're going offare. I add lettuce. Monster. We're going off track. The premise is very simple, she says. When you walk into a McDonald's, you probably have a good idea of what you're going to order. Most likely the same thing. A Big Mac, nuggies, whatever. What probably hasn't remotely
Starting point is 00:46:57 crossed your mind is the Filet-O-Fish. Because, she says, why would it? Now, this is where I reject this theory, but she's got a good point. She says, I implore you to order the Filet-O-Fish because it is something new and it might surprise you. And this is the Filet-O-Fish theory,
Starting point is 00:47:17 which is like you're on apps, you're swiping, you swipe the same type of person that ticks your usual boxes, tall, blah, blah, whatever, and it's not working for you because you are so limiting yourself to these certain types. Whereas when you're out in the real world, sometimes when you get talking to people, you bump into people that may not tick all your boxes immediately,
Starting point is 00:47:40 a connection can form and you end up falling in love with this person that perhaps isn't your aesthetic or something. You fall in love with a Filet-O-Fish on the street. Exactly. So she's saying the next time you go on your apps, think to yourself, do I keep on swiping the nuggies or do I try a Filet-O-Fish? I guess you're trying something different.
Starting point is 00:48:03 It's a good analogy. It's not work for you're trying something different. It's a good analogy. It's not work for you. Try something different. I want a Filet-O-Fish in the streets and a McRib in the sheets, you know? Oh, yeah. McRibs only run a few weeks of the year. They're a part time.

Starting point is 00:50:22 Big safe car. Safe car, yeah. Well, you had to stick your lunar plate up. Well, in Australia, a lunar plate has been spotted on a Lamborghini. Someone took a photo. Now, it's on the back. Well, I mean, you couldn't put it on the back windscreen because it's at such an angle that you wouldn't be able to see it
Starting point is 00:50:38 as the car behind you. So it's like stuck onto the bumper. Right. It's also stuck where it looks like someone could have just walked past and just been like, As a joke. Chucked an owl on a Lambo. Oh, my God. Oh, actually, the new season of the Kardashians has started,

Starting point is 00:51:46 Oh. So you can't, in Australia, you go L plates, P plates, full license. On P plates, you're restricted to how powerful the car can be. Because you're driving by yourself. But on L plates, because technically you're under supervision of somebody on your L plates, you can drive this ridiculous car. How freaky would it be learning to drive in a Lamborghini? That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:52:07 But you do see people, you do see L plates on like really flash European expensive cars sometimes. And you're just like, that is wild. Yeah. $400,000 is what a used 2017 Lamborghini Aventura LP 754 costs. And that I believe is American dollars. Wow. But then if your parents are like super loaded and rich.
Starting point is 00:52:29 That's the only car they have. That's the only car they have. They're not going to have like the little manster. Don't just total on down to a dealership and buy a. Like a. A safe car. Right. It doesn't need to be super expensive.

Starting point is 00:53:34 You wouldn't spend any money on a dumb car. I probably wouldn't. But I would like to drive one. I had a poster on my wall growing up, and that was like, in my mind, the coolest car. Yeah, right. The 1992 Dodge Viper now that's one I would like to buy
Starting point is 00:53:47 because it's ridiculous and you remember that TV show Viper and Viper was a red Viper it was like a night rider knock off and then Viper would drive behind something

That looks cool.
Starting point is 00:54:17 That's only $300,000. Yeah, see, that's what you need the kids learning to drive in. The old, not the new Lambo. The ones that absolutely would cost an absolute fortune to get panel-beated. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We talked about beige flags, which is like when you're on a dating app and then a beige flag is something where you're like, oh, that's so boring. You're so boring, you know?
Starting point is 00:54:38 Like, I don't know. I love books. Wait, is that the beige flag? No, I'm talking about beige. I can't even remember any examples of beige flags. But it's basically like a sign that that person is going to be so bloody boring. Ah, here you go. Beige flag.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Beige flags to look out for. These are eight beige flags. If all of their photos are selfies, it shows that someone doesn't have any hobbies or extra correctly or whatever. Right. Different than a red flag. A red flag. You'd still go there, right?
Starting point is 00:55:12 Yeah, because this might be a red flag, the selfie, because it might be they're a narcissist. But it also could be that they're very boring. So beige flags. Their hobbies are extremely general. Drinking coffee, going out to eat, taking naps and petting dogs are not hobbies. They are things people do on a day-to-day basis. Do not think you're special or
Starting point is 00:55:29 make them a personality trait. If they make any reference to a mainstream sitcom, if they're saying, I'm just a Pam looking for my gym. That's an American office. Oh my God, did you see that they're making an Australian office? Yes. Yeah. Oh my god, did you see that they're making an Australian office?

Starting point is 00:56:01 people aren't talking about beige flags in those terms of looking through a dating app and going, oh god, no, beige flag, which is way better than a red flag, but it's still beige. It's still a flag. Yeah, they're talking about their partner's beige flags. So things about your partner that you're like, oh, my God. It's not bad enough that you're like, oh, I've got to get out of here. I've got one. But it's also like not great.

Starting point is 00:56:47 I'm like, mum, mum, today at school we were playing magic and I fell out of the tree and then I found a cool stick and then I saw a dog and then it ran past the thing and then we did Play-Doh this afternoon, mum. I'm like secondhand embarrassed for you. No, but she's. I just feel like I've got to tell somebody about it. Or I told her I gave her a real deep breakdown yesterday

My boyfriend's beige flag is that he keeps his undies that have holes in them so that he can surprise me by walking out and tearing them off his body, leaving only the waistband.
Starting point is 00:57:39 He calls it the grand reveal and it always happens when I least expect it. See, that's quite funny. That's funny. My boyfriend's beige flag is that he literally will not do anything until the last physical minute. Hey, if he has a 9 a.m., he's out of bed at 10 to. Essay due in the library the day before. Party at our house.
Starting point is 00:57:57 He's in the shower 10 minutes prior. That's me. That is you. Drew's shouting, nuts, we've got people coming over. And I'm like, oh, I'm not going to have a shower. She's like, it is five minutes to six. They were here six-ish. They could be here in a minute.
Starting point is 00:58:11 You're going to have a shower now? Yeah, Aaron's the same. Like, yeah, I'm always waiting for him. My house, just make yourself comfortable. Well, we wanted to open it up now. And it's a bit of a chance to rag on your partner, really, isn't it? In a light-hearted way. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Here's another one. My boyfriend's biggest beige flag is that no matter the restaurant, he will always ask the waiter, what do you recommend? I like to get the waiter's perspective. This is a person that delivers the food, sees the satisfaction in people's faces. Yeah. And I will sometimes say to them, I'm hungry. What's the biggest? And Sade's just like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:58:48 That's a beige flag. Well, we want to take your partner's beige flags. What are they? That's right. It's the kind of behavior that you're like, oh, God. But it's not bad. It's just not something you like. Like, maybe it's like, we's like a little tantrum or something
Starting point is 00:59:05 and you're like, oh God, he's doing that again. We're wanting to know your partner or your boyfriend or your girlfriend or your person's beige flags. The things that you're just like, it's not terrible,
Starting point is 00:59:21 but I don't love it. It makes me cringe, maybe. A lot of these that have come in could almost just be called Vaughan flags. Yeah. Couldn't they, really? This is very rude. But some of them are very good. They're so good.
Starting point is 00:59:35 And I'm adding them to things I want to do. I can see you doing this one. My boyfriend's beige flag is that every time we shower together and I need to switch spots with him to get under the water, he makes me pay a kiss toll. Oh, that's cute. That's cute, though. That's so cute.
Starting point is 00:59:50 That's not a beige flag. That's cute. If I don't pay the five kiss toll, he will physically block me from moving past him until I pay my fees. Oh, that's super cute. That's so cute. That's so cute.

That's green. That's keeping the romance alive. Yeah. Pay the kiss toll. If you're in a hurry and you're not in the mood and you've already paid the kiss toll three times that morning.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Yeah, I know. And like your shampoo's running down your eyes. You're like, just kiss him a few more times. Pay the kiss toll. He wants five. Do you think the kiss toll's too high? She said it used to be three, but now it's increased to five. Well, inflation's hit everybody.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Inflation's hit everybody, especially the kiss market. It really has. Sophie, what's your boyfriend's beige flag? I want to be him. I made it. Yeah. Are you a long-time listener, first-time caller? Oh, yeah. Woo!

We don't do messages of the week. They're pretty light on compliments, to be honest. Someone said, my partner will spend hours watching lawnmower TikToks.
Starting point is 01:05:32 That's a beige flag. Although when they do a good job. When they do a pattern. Oh, I love the crisscross when they go diagonally. Or when they get a crisp edge on the concrete. You need to talk to our friend James. He doesn't do the edges. That's feral.
Starting point is 01:05:51 And he stops before the neighbour's lawn and then it is a nightmare. Yeah, he's got a little berm. He's not doing the neighbour's bit of the little berm. He's not doing the neighbour's berm and he's leaving about three inches before the concrete. Oh, no, no, no. And it's about a foot tall.
Starting point is 01:06:06 That's shaggy. Yeah, you need a, have you got an edger thingy? Yeah, I do. Yeah, you might need to borrow that. I'm going to teach him what's what. Someone said, my partner reverse parks into every park no matter what or where. It's so embarrassing. Those people think they're better than everybody else.
Starting point is 01:06:22 They are. Beige flag when my husband restacks the dishwasher. Hey, if you were better at stacking it, this wouldn't need to happen. That's a red flag on you for being that bad at dishwashers. Yeah. God, it's not that hard. No. It really isn't that hard. And rinse everything before you put it in.
Starting point is 01:06:36 No, don't. You don't rinse it because then it's bad for the washing machine if you rinse it. That's not true. I was just learning about that. That's not true. That's not true. Because a lot of modern dishwashers use a sensor of how much dirt is on the if you rinse it. That's not true. I was just learning about that. That's not true. That's not true. Because a lot of modern dishwashers use a sensor
Starting point is 01:06:46 of how much dirt is on the plates to do it. And when you clean it and they're clean, they don't know what to do. That's fine. They just won't run as long
Starting point is 01:06:52 and it'll say power and water. That's a win for me. You don't want little peas and carrots in that basket at the bottom. There's sieve in the bottom. Also, when you're rinsing in the sink,
Starting point is 01:07:03 the sink's got a plug sieve for a reason too. That catches all the stuff and stops it going in the drain. I'm going to fork it down. Fork it down. No, no, no, no, because then the next words out of your mouth will be like, the sink is draining very slowly. I think something's wrong. Well, then I didn't fork it down hard enough.
Starting point is 01:07:17 It's because you keep forking peas down there. I got told my own beige flag is how white my tea is. Tea in, out, hot milk. Someone said that's basically just warm milk. Yeah, it is. My husband collects Pokemon cards. He's 31. Give him a break.
Starting point is 01:07:29 He's finally got some disposable income, and the dude wants to start his Pokemon card collection because he grew up in a household that couldn't afford cards. Give him a break. Absolutely. My husband's beige flag is that he watched Parliament TV for fun and joins in the debating. Oh, my god.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Wow. No, no, no, no, no, no. My partner toots at bad drivers but only ever when he's driving my car, which is very embarrassing. Brilliant. Yeah. My partner will not tell me he loves me. He will only say sometimes, but never the three words, I love you. He thinks it's real funny.
Starting point is 01:08:02 That's actually a little bit mean. He'd probably just say it. Wow. Yeah. Oh, my God. My partner can't turn off from being a police officer. When we're out driving, he's constantly checking people's number plates. Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I would, too. If I had access. He's like, quick, hon, flash the light. She's like, we're not in the police car. I would. If I had access to that iPad, I'd be just every car I saw, I'd be checking. Yeah. Like when somebody gave you that log on for all the plates.
Starting point is 01:08:28 You did that too, didn't you? Back in the day, yeah. Oh, that was good fun. Got their home address and everything. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about Torpenhow Hill in Cumbria in England.
Starting point is 01:09:04 You might be thinking, Vaughan, that... What? What about it? The name, ladies and gentlemen, the name. Okay. Because technically it is Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill. Hill, Hill, Hill, Hill. It consists of the Old English
Starting point is 01:09:20 Tor, the Welsh Pen and the Danish How, all of which translate to modern English as Hill. Oh God, and the Danish Hau, all of which translate to modern English as hill. Oh, God, what's the sign going to look like for this hill? It says Torpenhau Hill. T-O-R-P-E-N-H-O-W, hill. Well, they're going to have to put the sign in English so that we can all understand it.
Starting point is 01:09:39 So that we'll have to say hill, hill, hill, hill. Puket Torpenhau Hill would be hill, hill, hill, hill, hill. Yeah, hill, hill. Puketop and how hill would be hill, hill, hill, hill, hill. Yeah, hill. Hill. I know. Quick side note. Just a real quick one. Just a quick one.
Starting point is 01:09:54 We've avoided the topic, but just a quick one. If you can't work out the sign with the two kids holding hands crossing road that says school but also kura isn't for a school, you're a dumb idiot. Okay? If your biggest problem right now is that in a country where Māori people were here and then white people arrived and now the occasional street sign might have the Māori word for something as well as the English word for something
Starting point is 01:10:22 is your biggest political pill to swallow in an election year, you're doing okay. Okay? That's all I want to say on that. But, yeah, Torpenhow Hill. How it happened is the old English Tor, they were the first there. They said Tor. And then the Welsh were passing through and they said.
Starting point is 01:10:41 Oh, we've been to Wales. There's street signs there. Are you joking? He's emotional. passing through and they said, oh, we've been to Wales, those street signs there. Are you joking? Are you joking? He's emotional. He's emotional about how many vowels are in the Welsh street signs. Actually, I just had a lot of cheese yesterday.

Tor, the English pointed and said tor. The Welsh pointed and said pen. And then the Danish passed through and said how, which is hill.
Starting point is 01:11:10 And then, of course, hills tapped on the end. So Torpenhau Hill, each one of the syllables. So this means hill, hill. Yeah. Hill, hill, hill.

Starting point is 01:14:23 what you give away so I bounced around dressress Smart, found nothing. Was pretty annoyed because I hate shopping and I hate driving places. Have you heard of the internet? And you find the shoes on the internet. I left it too late and too expensive. And when's the birthday?
Starting point is 01:14:37 Saturday. You can order them and get them by then. Yeah, but it's so much more expensive because I'd have to order from Oz. Oh, okay, right.

Starting point is 01:15:37 And then I could say I, like, handcrafted them. Yeah. I would stain all of it, though. You'd need to paint just the material part. Yeah. I could do some cool stuff with, like, a wax crayon. I don't know if you could. I don't know if you could.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Don't be silly. Stay on. Right. So what are you getting her for her birthday now, then? I'm just going to take her shoe shopping and be like, pick one. I'm over it. Is there an option for a different colour? I know she wanted green, but if green's not available.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Oh, maybe pink. Yeah. Certainly get you back in favour with the homosexual community. Well, yeah, because they're drafting their cancellation now because you won't buy pink chucks. Babes, I've already sent it. She's quite partial to the fresh brown ones, which
Starting point is 01:16:17 sounds a bit weird if you've never seen them, but they're like a real dark chocolatey ice cream. What? Like a wheeze after a night out oh god brownie gold nah it's like dirt brown but okay why don't you just um print out a picture of some green chucks on the work color printer and put it in a nice card and say they'll be here soon hope they don't get lost in the train yeah i ordered too late. Well, good luck. I'm looking at these brown Chuck Taylors.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Yeah, I can see why everybody was nodding. They're cool, man. They're quite a nice brown. Show me the brown. I will best describe it. You could wear a pair of those brown Chuck Taylors if you didn't care for your arch support. And I do care for my arch support.
Starting point is 01:16:59 I used to do Chuck Taylors always, but now I'm like, no. I love a comfortable sole. You've got to have. Yeah. I'm thinking of getting some cumps. Cumps. Have you heard of cumps? And some hush puppies.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Yes. With an orthopedic insert. Yeah. Play Zed-N. Fletch for the nightly. Play Zed-N. Physician and researcher Sandra Dalton-Smith has authored a book, Sacred Rest. Humans need seven types of rest.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Here are the seven types of rest. Oh, this sounds like every excuse you need to slack off work and life. Wow. I'd probably work it around work. I think that's what your employees would like you to work it around with. Well, that's what we say when the boss is listening. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:17:43 A sign of sleep. There are seven. Physical rest. Right. It means taking a break from all physical activities. This is often when you sleep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:51 It doesn't mean lying in bed all day and eating and watching television. It means rest. So just active rest. Yeah. Sleepy, not moving, but not like doing nothing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:03 Mental rest. If your brain refuses to switch off at night, you might be dealing with a mental rest deficit. Okay. So this is your meditation, your journaling. The short breaks throughout the day are often mental rest. Take a break if you're really concentrating on something. You need your mental rest.
Starting point is 01:18:21 Because I've never done meditation, but I just can't sit there and not think of anything. My mind's always like... You've got to train it, don't you? Yeah, right. It's really hard to think of nothing. And then you try to switch off when you're sleeping and you're just like... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Ticking things over. That's true. That's a sign of mental rest efficiency. Sensory rest. We're overstimulated and we're constantly stimulated. Screens, yeah, always. I love it. So turn off your screens, put away your phones and turn off the sensors. Sensory rest. We're overstimulated and we're constantly stimulated. Screens, yeah, always. I love it.
Starting point is 01:18:46 So turn off your screens, put away your phones, and turn off the sensors and just float tank. Float tank or sit in the dark? Is that what they want you to sit in the dark? Yeah, maybe a bit of sit in the dark. You can probably do a couple of these at a time. Okay. Really, you know, make it the most efficient.
Starting point is 01:19:00 But maybe I'm looking at rest the wrong way. I'm trying to pack as much rest as I can in rather than just resting. Emotional rest. Oh, yeah. If you're frustrated, angry, annoyed, tell people and then try to rest your emotions. If you're in a stressful situation, remove yourself from that situation because you are being emotionally exhausted.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Okay. Social rest. Here we go. To the social rest expert, Vaughan Smith, we go. This is where you don't want to go to a party and you shouldn't have to because maybe your social battery is low. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:34 And you've charged it so many times it doesn't hold a full charge anymore. We've got a big work function on Thursday and you're going to have to really recharge your battery before then. I'm still tired from the last social work function. I know. Creative rest. If you work in any sort of creative field,
Starting point is 01:19:50 you must rest the creative brain. This is where you seek inspiration, take a break from your work and let it recharge. You've got to find out what inspires you and surround yourself with that without thinking of it as work. Yeah, right. And spiritual rest. I'm always resting that.
Starting point is 01:20:08 The spiritual sort of thing. So I think it just means not necessarily like take a break from religion and rest the clapping and the singing and the praising of the whomever you wish to praise, but more just spiritually relaxed. That word's not coming out. I need to relax. I need to relax. I need to rest. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:26 I need to mouth rest. The eighth type of rest. There's so much resting. Yeah, so many different types of resting. When you think about it, because I would have thought you would have been struggling to come up with that many. But they all make sense.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Spiritual was a stretch. Yeah, that's it. Creative could have been pushed into one of the other ones as well. But you know, the key to making a list and making yourself seem smarter is to just fluff it out a bit. And you've got to have an even amount. You can't have an odd amount.
Starting point is 01:20:50 That's seven. That's an odd amount. Oh, that's odd. You've got to have at least three. Yeah. You're like, my points. One, two, three. Fluff it up.
Starting point is 01:20:56 The weak one you put in the middle. You hit with the strong. Yeah. You lead with the second strongest. Yeah. The weakest point is in the middle. Don't put the fluffer on the end.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Yeah. Because this is, I'm telling you how to seem like you've done more work than you are now. This is a freebie. This is a freebie. Also coming from the man
Starting point is 01:21:12 that does the top six every day. You bet. You pay attention to it. The weak ones are in the middle. Strong, strong, weak, weak, weak, strong.
Starting point is 01:21:21 I mean, some would say maybe just come up with six strong ones. It's too hard. If you liked 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.
Starting point is 01:21:36 And rate and review. And maybe get out there and try to make some friends. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
