The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Thanks, Brim Brins. Captain, our captain, Sarah Hiddeney, is down. What? She seems to have received some sort of eye injury.

We just need one medal so that we can get on the per capita table. And we will dominate. And we'll just dominate that table for the rest of the Olympics. How great is Michaela Blyde? I mean, they're all amazing. But boy, oh boy, she's a speedy. I've got a crush. I've got so many Olympic crushes. That's nice. That's nice to have it.

She's horned up during the Olympics, Brittany. I know. Have you been on the conspiracy, the Olympics conspiracy TikTok? Oh, God, here we go. What have you got for us? Well, this morning I found out that the Olympic flame isn't even a flame. Oh, yeah, we've heard this. It's not a real flame. It's a misting vapour thing.

What is vaping? With LED lights. Oh, okay. I know. The one in the stadium or the one they run with? No, the one in the stadium. Is it because it's more better for the environment? Yeah, maybe.

Is it more better, is it? It's more better. Yeah, right. Wouldn't let that for the environment. Yeah, maybe. Is it more better, is it? It's more better. Yeah, right. Wouldn't let that one slip. Thank you, Bryn. Thanks for being in here, Bryn. Thanks, Bryn. Coming up on the show,

we'll keep you updated with the score of the sevens. Minutes to go. Silly Little Pole is just minutes away. Do you check your eggs at the supermarket before you buy them? I just trust. Blindly trust. But then you end up with like, I've got a couple

of beak marks. A couple of cracks. Lately. Have you had a couple of beak marks? Okay, the girls are reacting to something. Has something happened?

No, nothing's happening. God, this is tense. We're half working and half enjoying this. Next on the show though. Apparently there are some new words in the dictionary. Already? I thought they waited until the end of the year to do this.

No, I believe these are some Gen Z specialities. And we'll come back and find out next if we have our first gold or silver medal. Gold. It's going to be gold, right? We have got a storming runaway try. The girls have got the numbers. Stacey passing back in. 19-12, still yet to convert that,

although it was a try on the side. We've got this, right? Surely. Oh, my God. Stay tuned. Stacey's popped it in the corner. She is the DWZ. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. New Zealand has its first gold medal.

We're on the table. The Sevens team beating Canada. It is all over. What is the score? 19-12. 19-12. Yep. That's the gold medal match.

Pretty good at Canada, though, because, again, it's not a name you see at the sevens tournaments dominating, is it? You got your Fijis, you got your let's get straight into the per capita. I just saw Bryn

sprinting back to the newsroom to give us an update. That's so, oh my God, yeah, per capita. Surely that's put us right up the top because we're so little.

It's very early but there is medalscapita.com. But it won't be updated yet. It won't be updated yet. It won't be updated yet. Oh, good game. They're doing good game, good game, good game.

Good game. Good game. Good game. Good stuff. Eight minutes past six. I'm all hyped up now. Why are you standing there? I'm too close to you.

Yeah, go back to where you normally sit. I'm just enjoying in the celebrations. Shannon's like, move, move. I'll shuffle back to my little hovel then. It all seems a bit sort of silly now, doesn't it? Because I'm really excited. Go the girls. Okay. Three Gen Z terms have been added

to the dictionary. Oh, and it does seem, you've raised this point, it does seem too soon to be adding stuff to the dictionary. Yeah, I thought we did this at the end of the year. I know. Well, it is August on Thursday, tomorrow. I love that at the top of this news article that I'm reading about, these Gen Z terms that have been added officially to the dictionary,

said that millennials may have never heard of. The first one is the ick. Now, we're not that lame. Come on. We're not that behind that we don first one is the ick. Now we're not that lame. Come on. We're not that behind that we don't know what the ick is. So that's the most

commonly used one when you suddenly become very disinterested in a person that you're dating. Yep. Maybe you see what's the one

that's really popular? Oh, when people see little legs wading underwater. Have you seen that one before? Oh yeah, where guys are trying to get themselves afloat and they're just looking cool on top,

but underwater they're like... And they're like, this is the biggest ick. Or people hooking their toes onto bar stools. That's the ick. Okay, boop. What do you mean? How would you do that? You've got bare feet.

You know when your bar stool's got a bar across the bottom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got your toes going like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But at a bar across the bottom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got bare feet. Your toes go like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, at a bar, you're generally wearing something on your feet. I've got long toes. I could probably do that. Is that not good?

Do we not like that? Okay. I'll stop doing that then. It's a bit ick. It's a bit ick. Okay. Okay, I didn't know this was, like, a slang. Boop.

Which surely is already in the dictionary, right? Which is... Well, yeah, everything's already in the dictionary, right? It's just a new definition. New definition. It refers to a gentle tap on someone's nose or head as a way of showing affection. The boob's been around for ages.

The boob's been around forever. The boob's been around forever. It's got a Gen Z thing. Don't steal that. Boop on the nose. And the last one is chef's kiss. Chef's... Chef's kiss? They did not invent chef's Kiss. Chef's Kiss?

They did not invent Chef's Kiss. They are claiming it, Vaughan, and I am just reporting it. It's appropriation of previous generations. Yeah. Generational appropriation. It's the same with their baggy pants, walking around with their baggy pants and their White Fox hoodies and their Leisure Club hoodies,

thinking they're the first to have worn baggy. Excuse me. We loved a baggy wet trowel. You had skate shoes first. Did I what? Did you what? Did I what? Comfortable as you like.

Baggy jeans in women's fashion now, I think it's anti-thigh. Because my issue is my thigh fills out and then so no longer baggy. Right. Do you know what I mean? Like when you're wearing a skinny jean with a curvaceous thigh, you fill it out because everyone fills out a skinny jean. But when you've got a wide leg jean but you've got a wide thigh, it's just a jean.

Baggier? Yeah, go baggier. God, where am I going to get these big baggy jeans? Anyway, those are the three Gen Z terms. They've just been added to the dictionary. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole.

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, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, do you check the eggs before buying the carton? Now, that's not the date on the eggs, is it?

You're checking each individual egg. Just having a gaze at them. Have a gaze. It's a big mum energy, this one. Well, I've started doing this because the last couple of times I had beak marks in a couple of eggs. Right. Weird that they slip through their cheeks. Yeah, I know. I've started doing this because the last couple of times I had beak marks in a couple of eggs. Right. Weird that that slipped through their cheeks.

I know. There's often huge cracks that have been dropped or something. Yeah. What about when you go to pull an egg out of the cart and the crack's been on the bottom and it's glued itself to the bottom? That sucks. I mean, I'm not going to go and turn every egg to make sure that they're all good. Maybe you should. Some supermarkets check for you.

I don't know if they do, Hayley. Yeah, they do. They beep through and then they'll just have a little gaze every now and then. They don't remove the feathers though. No, but they've been put there. They leave the feather there. Yeah, the feather gets put there, doesn't it? Fake. It's all lies. Well, 76% of...

What you got to say, boy? People are checking their meals. 76% of people check the eggs. Oh! Yeah, three quarters. That's wild, right? They're like a dollar each now. Yeah, I can understand.

Like 80 cents to a dollar. Yeah. Per egg. So you got to. Some feedback. Sally says, this is what I saw my mum do my entire childhood.

It isn't often, but occasionally I do find a carton with cracked eggs in it. Yeah. Don't want that carton. Your mum was right. Crystal says, it feels like buying gold because of how expensive eggs are.

I have to check that that gold is good before you buy the gold. That's the rule. Felicity, no, because I'm the silly goose who would probably drop them as soon as I took the lid off. Yeah, true. I'd blow and then drop. Classic goose destroying chicken eggs. Yeah.

Duck eggs. No. Why would you not check? Just buying a load of smashed eggs to make your house and car smell. Yeah. Adam, this is from Adam, and he says, and for guys, eggs being so expensive, and for you guys, eggs being so expensive,

it'd be less hassle just to burn the money than buy a cracked egg. That's not wrong. Zach says, absolutely, only to see if no meth chickens laid them. And to see if they've got the token placed feather nicely tucked in and given me the feel I'm buying free range. Do you know what I did yesterday was I bought a six pack and there was a half of a 12 pack. Who's buying a six pack? Because I knew I had a half of a 12 pack and I didn't want to have to go back to the supermarket knowing I was going to finish that pack. So now I've made 12.

And then I found a couple of rows. But why not just have 18 eggs and buy a whole nother dozen? It's too many eggs. It's more economical. I know, but economically, yesterday I wanted to save money. In the moment. But you didn't save money though, did you? Shut up.

And then I got home and I created one sort of monster carton. But now I don't know who's got the freshest eggs. Ah. Mixtra of old and new. Yeah. Float test. So you just wanted to complete, like fill the holes in your big carton. Yeah, it was just topping up.

Right, okay. Topping up eggs. Some more feedback. Dana says, I got a dozen eggs and every single one of them was cracked. I was so disappointed. I checked every time since. Yeah. Every single egg?

McWally's said, I also checked the bottom of the carton to check for wet spots. I didn't even think about that because it would seep through. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Get sticky eggs. Go-go gadget magnifying glass business. Yeah. Yeah.

Good for him. You're not going to get the gooey at the bottom that sticks it to the carton if you check the bottom for a wet spot. Or even a stain that indicates there's been a wet spot. But like that other person that messaged in, I'd tip it upside down and it'd all fall out. The eggs would all fall out.

That could totally happen. Yeah. So, there you go. It's the Little Pole. Check your eggs. 18 minutes past six. Next, something's on the rise with high school students.

And let's hope they don't get this permanently tattooed on their bodies. Play ZM's Fletch Vodanale. Play ZM. Just waking up. Just joining the world this morning. We have our first Olympic Paris medal. Gold. The women's sevens team beating canada this

morning how just moments ago yeah now do you know just a quick update we did because we've always spoken about our um success on the medals per capita table we're very proud now they haven't updated the table for two days but the last time they did mongolia was uh one on the table for two days, but the last time they did, Mongolia was one on the table, and they've got 3.28 million people. Is that all? Yeah. They're next to one of the most populous countries in the world. It's very cold, and don't they all sleep in yurts? Yeah.

Yeah, it's a vast city. It's very cold in Yurty. But it's not a gold. It's not a gold. So we would be above them. Do you know what they got it for? I don't. Who's second on the per capita?

Belgium. 11.5 million people in Belgium. They've got two medals. Kazakhstan. 18 million. They've got two. Okay, that's pretty good for us. Kazakhstan's got two.

Yeah. Shooting. Wrestling. Judo. Judo. Oh, yeah. Right. Can we confirm they were a judo nation?

But yeah, we're officially now on the table. Exciting. That's cool. Go the girls. That's good. Yeah, leave it to the ladies. So we're 15th on the table. Overall.

Just with one medal. 15th overall. Yep. Currently, Japan is beating everybody with seven golds. China, six. France, five. France, five. Australia, five. The nice Korea, five.

And the US, three. Where's bad Korea at? No medals. Do they send anyone? I don't even know if bad Korea is. Yeah, they did, remember? Do they? Oh, you were here on Monday.

We talked about bad Korea's welcome back for the first time in ages. Oh, really? Yeah, because they're naughty. They are a bit naughty in general. Other things happening also, New Zealand currently playing France at the round ball. What's round ball? Round ball.

The round version. Basketball? Basketball. Oh, yeah, good, okay. Yeah, football, round ball. It's got different names in all different countries. Lots of balls in sports, though, are round. Yeah.

In fact, rugby's one of the only ones that is not round. Famously. That's alright. Hey now apparently over the last 30 years this is in the UK but often we're quite similar. Don't know if it'll align with drinking habits in New Zealand. Oh I'd say compared to the UK that's

where we get our drinking from. The culture. Yeah. Seems very similar. Well, the number of straight edge, meaning like completely drink and drug free high school students over the last 30 years has increased to nearly 50% of students. So it's gone up. Very, very much so. Right.

A harsh incline. The amount of young people just being like absolutely no to alcohol, tobacco and recreational drugs. So no, not yes, when you say it's increased. But prescription medication for anxiety through the roof. Increased straight edge. So basically the increase in number of people

who do not do any kind of substance abuse. I was never really in with the straight edge crowd. I was aware of them. Hamilton had a massive straight edge scene. Right. Hardcore straight edgy dudes in the early 2000s. Because it was the home of Parachute, wasn't it?

It was Parachute Music Festival, yeah, yeah, yeah. And many clapping churches. I don't know what the link was. What was their thoughts on prescription medication? I don't know. My brother was straight edge. Like he was like, because we were all, him and I were both a bit emo

and it was quite big in that scene. Yeah. I bet your parents, like, while they were worried about you, were severely disappointed in the fact that your brother turned his back on alcohol. No, no, no. I think they were stoked

because we'd be at similar parties. So it'd be like, good, good, like Sam's there. All right. Do you think it's a mix of that? It's there. It's a lot of anxiety. It's a lot of the world is screwed and also that they've grown up watching their parents.

I would have thought that's why you do drink though. No, but I reckon also it's probably growing up watching their parents drink all the time. Just like, do I don't want to be like that?

Embarrassing drunk parents would put you off the booze. Oh, 100%. I've never seen my parents drunk. But they were saying it's not, it's not even like to do strictly with, you know, them being concerned about what it does to their body because all sorts of risky behaviours, including crime, driving hazardously and risky sexual practices in young people.

Did you say whiskey sexual practices? Risky. All doubt. They're just being good. Or are they just hiding at home? practices in young people all down. Did you say whiskey sexual practices? Whiskey. Are all down. They're just being good. Or are they just hiding at home not socialising? Wow, do you think

that COVID had a lot to do with it, right? Because we locked them up when they were like young teenagers and then they were like this is kind of chill. Do you know what I mean?

I don't want to go out now. Why would you go out? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of, it's very wild because we all grew up in a much different time where it was quite heavily part of definitely uni culture and then late high school culture.

Oh, for sure. And this can only be a good thing. You know, like that they're being good, safe, solid teenagers. More Prosecco for you. And more for me. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I love when they do scientific research and experiments on twins.

Yeah. Yes, I think all twins should be donated to science, personally. Yeah, actually. Even our friend Lovely James and his brother. Yes, yes, especially Lovely James. Fascinating specimen. I haven't met his brother, but it'll be great fun. Another fascinating specimen. Oh, great. Well,

researchers at Stanford University got together with some researchers and a whole bunch of twins and it sounds like they put one twin on just a meat diet or just, you know, your standard diet of meat. And then they put the other twin on a vegan

diet. I know. And it showed after eight weeks, it slowed down their biological aging. Just eight weeks. That is insane. I know. I saw this study and apparently the twins didn't get to choose which one they got put on. It was randomly drawn, right?

Right. So, like, if we were twins, we wouldn't be like, oh, shotgun meat. Is this on Netflix? Get out of it! Sounds like vegan propaganda to me. And then the ones that were given the vegan diets, some of them were big meat lovers

and they were so gutted and at the end of the study they were all like, I feel so much better. Right, we'll just go to our vegan propagandist. Our vegetarian propagandist, I should say. Anti-meat agenda. What is this on Netflix? I can't remember what it's called. Propagandist. Oh, thank you. Vegetarian propagandist, I should say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anti-medagender. She likes cheese tuna. What is this on Netflix?

I can't remember what it's called. I watched it too. Is it just called something about a twin experiment or something? God, I love it when they experiment on twins. I know. It is fascinating. Have you ever run any twin experiments personally? No, I haven't.

Haven't you? I haven't. I haven't. I haven't. Haven't you? I haven't. Sibling experiments? I haven't. They're exactly the same. You want to move on pretty quickly from this thing. Get rid of the feeling you don't want me to really dive into this deep. He's not even looking at you. I'm not running university experiments for you.

But it's identical twins as well, so that physically they're as close to each other as possible. And then all the vegan ones, like shredded fat, and got all fit and happy and healthy. It's just that they're as close to each other as possible and then all the vegan ones like shredded fat and got all fit and happy and healthy. It's just that they're eating mostly plants. No one said they were happy. Sorry, did I chuck happy in there? You put happy and healthy in there. No one put happy in there.

I didn't mean it. It's just probably not eating ultra processed food and just eating like good food, right? Like plant based. There is nothing that will stop me from having a steak tonight. I just realised that I want steak. I think it's just meat in moderation with lots of plants. Yeah, majority plants.

That is really what you might be thinking. Eating animals is mean, but what about this eating all their food? You're like, oh, eat lots and lots of plants. The cows are like, that's kind of our thing. Back up, big boy. I don't know if you've caught thousands of years of evolution, and you're like oh eat lots and lots of plants the cows are like that's kind of our thing back up that's kind of I don't know if you've caught thousands of years

of evolution but it's kind of our vibe we're the ones that eat the eat the eat the plants you stick to your if you want to look younger

we're going carnivore are we I'm a variety guy do you know I'm so sick of this carnivore diet I just punished three oranges the carnivore diet

is like this both of you love your fruits the carnivore diet. I just punished three oranges. The carnivore diet is like this. Both of you love your fruits. The carnivore diet has like fulfilled, like not fulfilled, like infiltrated my social media to no end. Everyone just eating meat and cheese and butter. Yeah. And it may be like half an avocado.

I'm like, that can't be good for your guts. Surely not. You've got to get some leaves in there, some leafy greens. Where are you getting your vineyards from? I love my meat, but I love my vetch. Yeah. That's good.

Okay. And I love my cheese, and I love my bread, and I love my booze, and I love my water, and I love my juice. I just love everything in my mouth. Juice. Quote me. Juice? I didn't realize you were so passionate about juice.

He's a big juice guy. I'll drink a bit of juice. Not very often. Juice is a sometimes treat. He loves juice He's a big juice guy I'll drink a bit of juice Not very often Juice is a sometimes treat He loves juice out of a hotel buffet fountain Oh really? You know those things I go up

Because the glasses are always so small Yeah And I'll stand there And I'll fill one And I'll guzzle it And then I'll fill Because there's always three There's apple, orange and

Something weird like a kiwi Yeah And you're like Excuse me Always apple and orange And then the food one's always like a pineapple Or a guava if you're in the tropics. So you hammer one of each and then you decide which one you want to get more of.

I just had no idea. I'm learning about my friend. He loves juice. I had no idea you liked juice. I know what I'm going to give you for your birthday. He's just a small child, basically. I'm going to use some juice. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Yes. Them's and they's. Everybody.

Them's, they's and they's. If you have a job and you pay income tax, today you may be getting a tax cut. Well, everybody's kind of getting a tax cut, I suppose. Annual taxes will decrease starting today. I googled the average New Zealand income, which is $65,852 a year.

Okay, that's the average. Say that again? $65,852 a year. I heard another zero and I was like, what's happened? What, $650? I was like, oh, fuck. You're a long way to go. Inflation got out of control.

Wow. They said it was bad. It's real bad. So I popped that into the calculator. It says that my annual taxes will decrease from $12,700 to $11,900, a tax cut of $800 over the total year, or $15 a week. Okay. So here are the top six things the average New Zealander

can spend your tax cut on. Okay. Love it. Number six, three $5 prescriptions that used to be free. Here we go. I thought this was going to be fun, not a mouthpiece for the left. This feels really mouthpiece-y for the left. It's not mouthpiece-y for the left. It's not mouthpiece-y for the left.

That's a fact. That's a fact. You can't argue with the fact that the government that is giving you the tax cut also took away the $5, the free prescriptions. A lot of pharmacies will waive that, won't they? Like Chemist Warehouse and some of the others. Chemist Warehouse does that. I always forget that.

And I always go to like a local, you know, support local small pharmacy. Good on you for supporting local. Thank you. We got one out by us and they do a great flu jab. Shout out, Alan. Shout out to Alan. They do a great flu jab. They did a COVID booster for me.

Didn't even feel it. I know. And they've got one of those weird sections pharmacies always have with like gifts and stuff. Half gift shop. Half gift shop, half pharmacy. Good on you for supporting local. Yeah, I know. Number five on the list of the top six things you could spend your $15 a week tax cut on.

I've done the calculations of the average price of gas in New Zealand. Five and a half litres of petrol. Okay. Again, I thought this wasn't going to be political. This isn't political. That's just the price of gas. Yeah. Again, I thought this wasn't going to be political. This isn't political. That's just the price of gas. Yeah. Mother... That is the price

of petrol. 91. Yep. Not premium. And not diesel. And not including road user charges. Okay. Which in my life... How far will that get you? 5 litres? Ish. I don't know how... I never know how much it works. You'd get to work it back. How much can your car take?

I was like I don't know. In your car you'd probably get to work it back. Seriously? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Well that's great. Number four on the list

of the top six things you could spend your tax cut on. $15 a week for the average New Zealander. One Big Mac combo. Yum. Yum. Okay you're done.

I'm happy. Done. I'll go a QWERTY P combo, but... A QWERTY P. You do hit it. Why do you hit a QWERTY P over a Big M? You know I love a QWERTY P. I know you do.

He's anti-lettuce. He is anti-lettuce. Are you anti-lettuce on baby? I do like a Big Mac, but yeah, no, I'm not the biggest fan of lettuce. You know I'm filling out social nuggies. I'm QWERTY P followed by nuggies. QWERTY P, extra pickles. Huh? Extra pickles alwaysuggies. Quarter pea, extra pickles. Extra pickles always.

Yeah, I'll do extra pickles. I add shredded lettuce to my Filet-O-Fish. Now we're just talking about a McDonald's order. By the way, it's embarrassing you said Filet-O-Fish. I know it is. And your wife loves Filet-O-Fish. As a secondary burger. Hot and fresh and tasty.

They're just... Steamed bun. Steamed bun. Yeah, it's a steamed bun that gets you, I think. Number three on the list of the top six things to spend your $15 a week

tax cut on. The average New Zealander is getting that extra week. Another OnlyFans subscription. I don't know. I don't know what they go for. It's an ONC website. Vaughan, I thought

you weren't getting political. Yeah, jeez. You know me and my mouthpiece for the left OnlyFans. I don't know if that was it. Vaughn follows Jerry Brownlee on OnlyFans. I do. And I'm thinking of paying for the next tear so I get some nipple.

Yeah. Let's see them nips, Jerry. He'll send you some private messages with nips. Oh. Let's see them nips, Big Jez. Big Jez. Let's see them nips, big jizz. Big jizz. Let's see that chest, big jizz. Well, I don't know. It's a shocking website.

Would you get a minger for $15 a week on OnlyFans or would you get like a decent whack? You'd get like an ass. Like, all right. An ass? Yeah, I reckon. Ass is earning $15 a week from each person on OnlyFans. Yeah.

Almost makes it seem worth it, doesn't it? It's so tempting. It's so tempting. It's so tempting. Number two on the list. Get those toes of yours on there. Yeah. Fletch. Peel a banana.

I put up a photo or a story on my holiday and someone said thanks for the free feet pics. I was like, what? I think that's just what you have to say when someone's feet are in the pictures. Yeah, right. But I didn't realise I'd given away my feet for free. Feet for free, baby. Damn it. Oh, yeah.

That's how you get the money. Someone wants to pay for these big, long toes. Seriously, women are doing this. It's very popular at the moment. Men will choose your nail polish colour, and then you paint your toes with it, and then you grip the nail polish with... The girls are nodding because this is a thing.

You grip the nail polish with your the girls are nodding because this is a thing, you grip the nail polish with your toes and you write their name. So I'd be like Vaughn with my toes with the colour you've chosen and you pay me. There's also one where girlies will just write the name of the guy buying it on their sock so they would just write it kind of like Toy Story style

and then send them the sock. What's he doing with the sock? I can only imagine Fletch. Sniffing it? Yeah. Put it in a hot wash? Girls will film themselves. How much?

It depends on the foot, I guess. It depends on the girl. I should start doing this. Genuinely? That's a good deal. It's a good deal. I'll be making more than 15 bucks for my taxes. This is why Hayley will stop doing her comedy shows.

Yeah, be like, when are you doing a new live show? I'm bathing in it, man. Are you kidding me? If you want to catch me, catch me on footstuff.com. Footstuff.com. Number two on the list of the top six things to spend your $15 tax cut on. That's $15 a week for the average New Zealander. Half a pack of cigarettes.

But the good news is there might be a tax cut on tobacco products soon, thanks to a few insiders. You weren't getting political. I'm not getting political. It's a fact. Google it. Check it out. They've put aside money for a tax cut on heated tobacco products, and a couple of people in New Zealand first have ties to Big Tobacco. Oh, and I'm

saying, Google it, you'll find it's a fact. You're remaining neutral. But I remain neutral. I it, you'll find it's a fact. You're remaining neutral. But I remain neutral. I present to you the facts. And number one on the list of the top six things to spend your $15 a week tax cut on. Just life, man. Life's easily got $15 too expensive over a week lately.

Life's expensive. It is expensive to live. That is today's Sub Socks. Everybody talks about doing, you know, the hot girl Euro summer. But people have been flocking to Japan. And I didn't know this, but the yen is quite weak at the moment. So it's making people's dollar go a bit more. I've literally had four separate friends go to Japan in the last couple of months. But then I've been seeing stories pop up as well that a lot of the, like, some of the tourist places

are charging, like, double, like, two different prices. Oh. For the locals. Oh, yeah, but that's kind of good. And then for the tourists. Yeah, well, luckily for me, I look Japanese. I've always said that. I often will get a kanechiwa, and I'm like, I do apologise.

Whilst I may be Japanese in appearance. Yep. And that's why you get food for two yen. Two yen. We need to travel with you, ma'am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to do a Japanese looking. Yeah, we need to go with you to Japan immediately.

Yeah. Well, Japanese authorities are cracking down on a new type of suitcase, which can be ridden as an electric scooter. I think I might have seen one of these overseas. So apparently they're huge in a lot of Asia and Southeast Asia, these suitcases. So they're only big enough for, you've got to carry them on because they have a battery.

Well, you're telling me a weird little electric gimmick is popular in Asia? You're kidding me. So apparently two major Japanese airports have already asked travellers not to ride them within the terminals because in Japan you will need, because they're motorised, you're going to need

a licence. To ride your suitcase. To ride your suitcase. Well that's crazy. Because I think I've seen kids no, I didn't see an adult on one. I saw kids on those ones that they can kind of sit on. Yeah and you can kind of tow them and stuff. Tow them, yeah.

Because there's no helmet and no driver's license. They're like, you can't ride these in Japan. They look so cool. I mean, unless you have a license, they do. And you know, some of these terminals that you transit through are massive. And not, they don't always have like. But do they go faster than walking? Because that's the other.

Yeah. Well, yeah, but you're also sitting, so who cares? I think the travelator should be faster. Oh, okay. Because this might be a controversial opinion. But I think the travelator should be three times as fast as you can walk. They could go an extra. They could go an extra.

I reckon another doublet. You can walk as fast as... As a travelator. As a travelator. Totally. What about people that get on the travelator but stand still? Yeah. What's the point of that?

That's not what they're made for. They're made to speed up your pace of walking. You don't just ride it. Yeah. When you get off a flight at Auckland Airport, there's people that stand on the travelator. I'm like, ugh. And some of them, as you say, like overseas,

like massive airports. I always give them a beep beep when I'm walking and stuff stops and I can't get around. Can you Google fastest speed for travelators? Fastest? Because I feel like they're at the speed where old people are going to handle them. You want fastest travelator in the world? It's getting off.

The world's fastest travelator? Okay. Oh, there's, okay, multiple people have claimed it. The ThyssenKrupp Express. Oh, the Krupp. At Toronto, Toronto Airport. Okay, so. Oh, okay, okay, go.

Okay, I'm looking at it. How fast? Someone's just jumping on it and it's not that fast. Maybe fractionally faster than, it doesn't look that fast. I'm disappointed with it, to be honest. You're going to go there. You really built us up there. I know.

The world's fastest moving walkway, a high-speed moving walkway that travelled later at Montparnasse, a metro station in Paris, France, moves commuters at nine kilometres an hour. That's a jog. Yeah, that's good. That's fun. And nine kilometres is a jog. Sort of a slow run.

Because you want to be going faster than walking. You want to be at a light jog. A canter, if you will. I hope Ross Boss is listening because producer Jared's actually made an incredible suggestion for a show trip. We travel the world, right? For the show, obviously.

We'll stay a couple of days to get over the jet lag and test all the travelators in the airports. Right. Great stuff. And we'll just pop out in Europe. And just do the show from the travelators. Asia, yeah. Yeah, right.

This sounds like an excuse to holiday. No, I'm sorry. I'm exclusively thinking about content for this show. Of course. It's 180 metres long. It was built by a French company. This is the world's fastest travelator. Okay.

Installed in 2003. Initially, the walkway speed was 12.1 kilometres, which is long. They lost a few old people, didn't they? But this was reduced after repeated falls in the acceleration and deceleration zone. Yeah. So they pulled it back to nine kilometres an hour.

No, I live in quite a small house. I would say our hallway is three metres long. Yeah. No. Yeah, three metres long. Do you want a travelator? I might chuck a travelator in there. I'm going to save up for it. Yeah. Go to the bank three metres long. You want a travelator? I might chuck a travelator in there. I'm going to save up for it.

Yeah. Go to the bank and be like, can I extend my mortgage? What do you want? I want to put a travelator in the hallway. I'm exhausted every day. I don't know if that's good use of money. No. Yeah.

I don't think I'll get that investment back. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey. Play ZM. Okay, there is a list I have before me here from the NZ Herald, my chosen source of news. Social media etiquette, the do's and don'ts of work group chats. And there's been a psychologist who has kind of compiled this list. And knowing how often, like I, even when I first started working with you guys,

I couldn't believe how much we chat during the day. I was like, boy, oh boy. You have nothing else to do. Pops off. We're not sick of each other by the end of our shift. When I'll say, what do you guys think about this? Or we'll say, should we talk about this tomorrow? Or Vaughn will just say.

Don't act like our group chat is all about show chat. It's Vaughn saying, guys, I've just caught a rat. Yeah. And then I sent a photo of a big rat. Yeah. A dead rat. Well, with this, I had the list of the do've just caught a rat. Yeah. And then I sent a photo of a big rat. A dead rat. Well, with this, I have the list of the do's and don'ts. Okay. And let's see how we go.

Should we do the do's first? Okay. Do talk about, okay, so do talk only about topics relevant to all in the group. And if there's something that is just for a few, message them in a breakout. We've got a breakout room, don't we? I think there's about six breakout chats within this. So I'd say we comply to that.

We had a breakout chat the other day when Hayley was away. It was a no Hayley chat. You should see what was said in there. Just everybody on an even keel. No one trying to dominate it with their funny see. What a chat. What was said in there? Just everybody on an even keel. No one trying to dominate it with their funny jokes. What? Put me in so I can see it retrospectively. No.

Put me in. Retrospectively. It's still a very active chat. What? Wait, we were chatting this morning. Wait, is it on the go this morning? Yeah. Like birthday stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were too early. My birthday's October. Oh, guys, calm down. Don't go all out. We like to prepare. I'm going to write in the No Hayley chat now.

Classic Hayley making it all about herself. What are you saying? Her birthday's ages away. His phone just dinged. And she had to bring it up. What are you saying? No, no,

what was the next do's and don'ts? I'm going in no Vaughan. In the no Vaughan, by the way, we spell it V-O-R-N. That's all right. There was a time in my life where I spelled it like that too. Out of respect for late 90s new metal artists, Korn.

If adding a new member check first with the group, no new members, we're fine. Do post your message in one chunk rather than short ones. We don't do this. We don't do that. We go, hey, guys, listen. What about if dot, dot, dot, we, and there's like eight messages.

So we're bad at that. Okay, do's of group chats for the workplace. When a multitude of messages starts to feel overwhelming, do consider taking a break. Let group members know that you're not ignoring the messages. I do that, but I don't let you know. I just quiet mute.

Yeah. Disappear, quiet mute. She hears the chat. Yeah just quiet mute. Yeah. Disappear, quiet mute. She hears the chat. Yeah. So rude. Yeah. That's how we go to the no Hayley group. And then talk about how she's definitely muted the chat.

I'm going to hack your Facebook. Okay. Do for workplace group chats, avoid looking like a silent stalker in a group thread. Make sure you participate in conversation at times. I think we're even. Thumbs up. I think we're all right.

Chuck a thumbs up in there if you've been a bit quiet. Heart some stuff. We heart stuff. I think we're even. I think we're all right. Chuck a thumbs up in there if you've been a bit quiet. Heart some stuff. We heart stuff. I think we're doing all right. Do stick to the original purpose of the group, which is to plan the show. Yep. Do avoid political rants,

requests to sign petitions, or pet and child spam if it's a work group. Yeah, okay. I think we get a little bit of cat content from me, but I think we're doing okay. Okay, here's the don'ts for workplace group chats. Don't spam the group with memes. Oh, but I like the memes.

We've got separate groups for that. We do have breakout groups. I would say our three, just the FVH chat, very meme heavy. Yeah. Don't add someone to the group without asking them first. That's fine. Don't overshare. I think we've crossed that line.

I think we've absolutely crossed that line. Before messaging, take a moment to think about if what you are posting is appropriate for the group work chat. Trap. Yeah, trap. Trap, yeah, trap. Indeed, it's a trap. Because there would be like big workplace group chats with like the whole. Yeah, because we're a small team. Yeah, like there's, you know, just six of us and ours. Yeah, but.

But there would be group chats where, yeah, you would literally hardly know the people. Yeah, so you don't want to be doing a meme and then being like, guys, just shouted, OMG. You know, we don't need to know that, Cathy. Don't criticise others on the group chat just don't they linger in the history of the chat oh yeah gotcha

do not air grievances with someone in a work chat we would never do that I mean that's just literally also like great for HR if you're doing that in like a teams like you're leaving the receipts and then the final note was to say if you're doing that in like a Teams. Yeah. Like you're leaving the receipts. Yeah. And then the final note was to say,

if you think about what you want to put in the work group chat, say it out loud in the voice of a newsreader who often has a flat kind of neutral tone. Yeah. Because that's how people read it. If you're like, this is going to be so funny. Oh, yeah. But you're not getting the nuances and the intonations

and the kind of winky voice patterns. Say it out loud in a little flat monotone tone and be like, is it still appropriate for me to post this to the work chat? I actually think we've come out quite unscathed. Apart from the actual content in the group chat. I think the breakout group

chats are worse than the main group chat in which we do manage to keep it quite respectful. Other than Vaughan and his fat rats on spades. You've got a point. She can't even eat rats. She's a devout vegan. I was going to say, I eat meat and I'm still not eating rats.

You should eat them though. Rats? Yeah. No thanks. I put them in a bucket and then flies go in and put maggots in them. And then the maggots fall out of the bucket and the chickens eat the maggots. So technically I am eating rats in the form of chicken eggs. Can we just take this to the No Vaughn chat, please?

The No Vaughn? Yesterday I popped into the supermarket to grab a few things. Actually more on that later because it disintegrated into a terrible trip. $1,500? No, no, no. The money, I was literally sitting there transferring to afford it. It was terrible. No, no, no.

Something terrible happened at the checkout and I was in a full panic. Later. We'll come back to that after eight. But a small moment, I felt terrible. I was parading up the aisles and there was a woman who was by the eggs. And I think, I don't know if she worked there. Yeah, she worked there or she was doing like a stock thing and she had one of those like stock guns, you know,

they're like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, like this. But she'd popped it up. Probably the worst kind of gun you could have. I ain't going to do shit. When the war breaks out. Yeah. Like you're on the front lines with your stock gun. And you pop around the corner and you're like, boop, uniform.

Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gun. Hat. Boots. That or like a steam gun. No, you get a steam gun in the eyes. Yeah, you could steam gun somebody and take them down.

It's so gentle. They'd run. You'd run from that. You'd be able to get away. Hot glue gun? You could cause some trouble in a war with a hot glue gun. No, but it squirts out so slowly. You'd have to be right against

them. You'd have to be holding them down. Just when they got to you, it would be warming up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hang on. And you're tethered to a wall as well because it's plugged in. You come back here. With not even a metre long cord. You sneak up behind them.

We should do final rankings. Guns in a war. The worst guns they have in a war. And you hot glue gun their gun to their holster. What about massage gun? Oh, massage gun. You can take someone down in a war with a massage gun. their gun to their holster. What about massage gun? Oh, massage gun. You can take someone down on a war with a massage gun. You have to be up close. The double pronged one to the neck

or the temple. Or just sneak up behind them and start and they're like, oh. Oh God, far out. I needed that. Get in there. There's a lot in there. Man, this war has been really weighing heavy on these shoulders. Anyway, she had a scanning stop gun. Yeah.

And I could see her, she was a petite woman. Oh, yeah. Short old gal. Okay. Petite woman sounded far nicer than petite old gal. Short old gal. Yeah. We'll go back to petite woman.

How short are we talking? Like Simone Biles, like four foot tall? Nah, five. Okay. Just five. Okay. Flat five. Flat five. Okay. Just five? Okay. Flat five. Flat five.

So like quite short. Yeah. And she had obviously like been up on a step or something, but the step was no longer there and she'd left her scanner gun on a shelf. And she saw old daddy long legs. Oh my God. That's like never leave a gun on a shelf.

It's like leaving your gun on top of the trench. Yeah. In a war. Anyone could grab it and use it as they will. And then I came around the corner, daddy long legs, and she looks up at me. She goes, thank God, someone tall. And I was like, oh, yeah.

She said, are you able to just reach that and get it for me? And I was like, oh, my God. I don't get this often. What, the gun? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I'm tall for a woman, but I'm not like, whoa, far out. You know, people don't comment on it when I walk into a room. They're like, whoa.

Yeah. They did. We were walking down the road that time and someone was like whoa that's a big bitch yeah someone was like huge bitch and I was like what? they mean height hey just not quoted enough anymore

no it's not it deserves a rewatch finest work that's a great line and it was my pleasure and I reached up with not even going on the tippy toes and I brought it down and she was like, look at you. And I said, you know what? It sure is good to be tall, isn't it? And she just looked at me like, why'd you say that?

And she was like offended. Why did you say that? No, no, because she was five foot tall and I meant like, it is good to be tall. But I think she took it as me being like and how embarrassing that you're so short. Yeah. Her whole face like soured. And then she was like, thanks. And so short. Yeah. Yeah. Her whole face like soured. And then she was like, thanks, and walked away.

You helped her. I know, but I then insulted her by being like. Why did you say that? It did sound a little bit. I don't know, it just sort of came out. Right. I don't know what else to say instead of being like, I don't know, you're welcome, milady. Yeah.

I was like, well, I've got to tell you, it sure is good to be tall. And I think she felt like it was a pointed jab. Yeah, but it wasn't. No, not at all. I mean, it's embarrassing for her. You're the Legolas that were Gimli. Together you make a hell of a team.

Thank you for calling me Legolas and not Gimli. Well, you're not Gimli, you're too tall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, anyway, if she's listening, I really do apologise. I didn't mean anything by it. Yep. Short stuff. Little fella. Hey,'t mean anything by it. Yep. Short stuff. Little fella.

Hey, little fella. Squirt. It was terrible that I patted her on the head afterwards. You're cute. Good on you, champ. Get out there, little fella. Clay, Zed-Ems, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yes, Shannon has a flat inspection today.

You've only been in this apartment, what, like two months? Three months, yeah. So you have to do them every three months now. Oh, that's an insurance thing. I insurance thing i thought it was six three now and it's you know you have to have it proper and it's between nine and five is the window so you have to be like out of the apartment all day that's so much time to hide a cat can you not be there well you can but my apartment's like one meter squared so like it would be me at a random and it'll be a bit weird so do you remember when you had to always hide your cat

during an inspection? Yeah, cats and dogs. Cats and dogs. I don't know whose cat that is. It's like brushing up against your leg. Get out of here, you stray cat. But why are you so stressed? Because you live in this apartment, it's modern, it's clean.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried because this is our first one and the apartment when we moved in was so filthy and I've deep cleaned it, but you know you can only deep clean so much. So you think that maybe they'll hold you responsible for some of the mud? Yeah, I took lots of photos before we moved in. Oh, you'll be okay then.

But I had a bad experience when I lived in Dunedin. We had a flat inspection. Why do they inspect flats in Dunedin? It's on fire. I just go past and if it wasn't on fire, I'd be like, my man.

Well, yeah. God, great tenants. It's the only time I've ever failed one because they came in and said, there's ice on the inside of your windows,

but we had no heaters in the flat. That's what I did. Your house is a shithole. That's why. My bedroom was below ground. So it was like a basement. No heating.

And so we got a warning. They said, you need to ventilate. And I said, how? Ventilate? Ventilate? Ventilate? Yeah.

Ventilate. But the house got condemned about a month later. So, you know. But yeah, I've failed one before. So now I'm just scarred of like,

what could they pill me up on? Like, I tried cleaning the windows yesterday with soap. Turns out that doesn't work. I have to go buy a window cleaner today. Oh my God. I worry about you sometimes. What did you do? You tried cleaning windows with soap?

It's not your armpits. It's a window. A bar of dust. I didn't think it was going to be like the best. I just thought it would make it kind of fun. How do you even start? What are you, a guy that comes up to me for $2 because he wants to clean my windscreen at a traffic light?

Soap? I've never dealt with like outside windows. You don't even clean them. You've been primarily dealing with inside windows? What are you talking about? Because I live off the side of a road, there's so much dust and we're eight floors up, so they're real, like, grotty.

And I was like, what cleans grot? Soap. She's not wrong. It feels like if you're eight stories up, that's also on the building's job to clean the outside. I think I'll be fine. I'm just, this is what I'm saying, I'm nervous. I've been scarred before and I'm, like,

going real hard on the cleaning because I don't want to fail. I remember when I lived in Wellington, I lived in one of those like converted villas that had like five bedrooms in it. And I had, this was when I was at uni and I'd come home rather tousled one night. And my curtains were like made of taffeta, but had one of those organza kind of shears on top.

Horrendous. And drunk Hayley had sort of stumbled and put my foot through it and kept walking. And all the organza was of shears on top. Horrendous. And drunk Hayley had sort of stumbled and put my foot through it and kept walking and all the organza was like torn apart. Right. And I was like, oh, all good, whatever. And we had a flat inspection. So I stacked all this furniture against the curtains.

So they couldn't see. So they couldn't see them. And she came in and we were there at the time. She came in like looking around the room and stuff. And then she was like, oh, good. Looking all good. And then as she was leaving, I remember turning back and being like, oh, just check the bottom of the curtains. And I was like, no.

And I think I actually ended up losing all of my bonds to pay for it. I've never heard of organza before, so I've Googled it. It's like shiny, glossy. Like what you would make a fairy costume for a child out of. Oh, okay. Like a see-through. That and taffeta? Yeah.

You lost all your bond to approximately $2 worth of material for Spotlight? I know, it's terrible. Okay, and this is what we want to ask this morning. What is a dumb thing that you got told off for after a flat inspection? Maybe you'd caused some damage and you tried to hide it like Hayley. Yeah, you tried to hide it. Or maybe the landlord and they were being, I guess, outrageous. Or maybe you were hiding a whole other person.

You know those people that lived under the cupboard under the stairs? Yeah. In all those student flats? Yeah, yeah. Or it was me, I lived in a conservatory. Yeah. Or like Shannon, the landlord was like, your window's icy. Can you please sort out ventilation?

That's huge. So weird. Producer Shannon has a flat inspection. She's nervous. She's nervous. We want to know the dumbest thing that you got pulled up for on a flat inspection.

Yeah. This is like, there are messages coming in from people who I don't believe know the rules to the tenancy agreement and the landlords are just taking the piss to try to get them to do it for nothing when it's their responsibility to do it.

Some of these are outrageous. Two I just saw. The manhole was open. We got told off for it. We've never been up there or opened it, so it was just open. Someone else had left it open. And the other one was too many leaves built up. It's autumn.

And that's also, I believe, unless specifically written in, landlord's responsibility. Is it? Landscaping. Yep, landscaping and maintenance. Anything above chest height. Like a big pile of leaves above chest height. So you can ask them to mow the lawns and keep things down, but the minute you have to get a ladder to deal with it,

it's landlord responsibility. Is it? Jess, what did you get pulled up for after a flat inspection? Morning, team. I got pulled up for a dry smear of tomato sauce on a wooden chopping board, like with a note and an arrow. Oh, my God. Was that your chopping board?

Yeah, it was mine. It was mine, like on the bench, in my clean kitchen, in my clean house. You're actually too bloody right, Jess. That's disgusting that you're living like such a pig and I don't want you living in my house. Yeah, yeah. And I just wanted you to fix it. It was insane.

And, like, a passive-aggressive note with an arrow and, like, re-inspection and they came back a week later. But it's not their chopping board. Yeah. You have dishes. Well, the story continues. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this on, well, I suppose I am, but he came back and did an inspection when I lived by

myself with my child at the house and he told me that the lawns being too long was a pants down smacking offence. Excuse me? Excuse me? The inspection was because he just wanted to come back when I was

home and like, see Bruce Lee. Oh my God. That is outrageous. I no longer live there. Yeah, no good. My jaw is on the floor. Are you kidding me? I cannot believe that. It was a pretty gross experience, yeah.

So did you end up staying in this house or did you leave? We lived there for another two and a half years and my partner did move back in so I didn't live there alone for a long time. But I lived there with someone past that event. A pants-down smacking event. Oh my god. Because we all know, and I've just

actually double-checked this on the Tenancy website, that Long Lawns is a nipple-tweak wet willy offence. Oh, okay. It's not a pants-down smack offence. He just took it so far. Yeah, he should have tweaked your nipples, given you a wet willy, and been done with it. Well, what is a pants down...

Nipple gripple. Yeah, nipple gripple. Nipple gripple. What is a pants down smacking offence for a landlord? Tomato sauce on a chopping board. It's disgusting. Oh, okay. It's feral behaviour.

That's where we got confused. Any mould on the bathroom ceiling is a pants down smacking. That's right. That is outrageous. Yeah, it's really terrible. It's mind-blowing. Even if you'd complained, like, what would have happened?

You just would have been homeless. There's nothing you could have gained out of that from complaining, right? Like, that sucks. Hey, sex harassment, what? Yeah, it's not like the tenancy trial funeral could even do anything. I think I had a friend come over for an inspection that I knew he was coming for, living there alone. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty awful.

It made me feel pretty gross. Oh, Jesus. I'm sorry to hear it. Yeah, that is wild, isn't it? Jess, thanks for your call. Well, that's good. My daughter's a never-living home. Yeah, that confirms it.

That's the final nail in the coffin. They'll just stay at home forever. They'll live with Dad forever. Keep your texts coming in. The things you got told off for, pulled up for in a flat inspection. We're talking about the The things you got told off for, pulled up for in a flat inspection. We're talking about the things you've been told off for, pulled up for in a flat inspection.

Let's hone through some. Jeepers. This is power play. Yeah, it's insane. They tried to keep a bond for fly poop on the ceiling and the inside of the recycling bin being dirty.

You know, the big wheelie bin. Oh my God. That falls under general wear and tear for anybody that has landlords try to pull that shit on them. Yeah. That falls under general wear and tear for anybody that has landlords try to pull that shit on them. Yep. We went to the

Tenancy Tribunal over that. We tore down two of our fences into the neighbour's properties while on the beers. They're good people. It's that little community. You know?

Totally. I get it. Okay. Super bad luck that the landlord turned up randomly the next day. They are not allowed to do that.

No, they're not. No, they're not. They're not allowed to do that. 72 hours, isn't it? Three days notice? Yeah, something like that. Well, they can just turn up. Randomly, they turn up the next day, they are not allowed to do that. No, they're not. They're not allowed to do that. 72 hours, isn't it? Three days notice? Yeah, something like that. Well, they can just turn up. Randomly, they turn up the next day to introduce themselves.

After four months of us living there, demanded an inspection 24 hours later. They can't do that. No, they can't do that. And it all was perfect by the time they came back for that one. Oh, right. We put the fences back up. They made us pay for the entire interior being repainted. After paying for the entire house to be scrubbed by professionals

and looking near new, they decided the cleaning, the professional cleaning wasn't enough. No. The thing is with tenancy is a lot of times you need that money straight away from your next flat. Yeah, 100%. And so you can't afford to have it tied up and be like taking things. So that's how they can get over you.

Yeah. Louise, what were you pulled up for on a flat inspection? Hey, is that me? Yes. That's you, darling. Hi, Louise. Hi. I got pulled up because we were using orange rinse aid in the dishwasher

and we got a note on our flat inspection that said we should be using blue rinse aid. It's your dishes. Those are your glasses. I've never seen orange rinse aid. And why is rinse aid always blue? I don't know, because it's like glass cleaner that's blue. So what's the difference and why do they care? Why do they care?

It's got nothing to do with the... What? I'm pretty scarred by it. I only use blue rinse aid now. I know, but did you say anything back to them like, toss off? You can't really when you have a written note. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's insane.

It's just like the stories we're hearing, it makes me just sad. That's what I mean. Yeah, the power play with landlords. Exactly. Louise, thanks for sharing. Some more messages. Got told off for muddy footprints on the carpet that my landlord did on the way in to do the inspection

because she didn't take her shoes off in her own house. How about that? Those are yours. We lived in an apartment. They did an inspection every two weeks and they found us on smudged glasses that they didn't even own. No, they can't be doing that. They can't be doing that.

They've lost their mind. We got told off for having cigarette butts all over our lawn. It wasn't us. It was the neighbours flicking them over the fence. We were the ones

that had to clean them up. We were like, it's not us, it's the neighbour. Look, they're smoking right now and they're about to flick it over the fence and then they flicked one

over the fence and the landlord saw it and they said, not my problem, pick them up. We've heard from a landlord who says, well, there's actually

just as many wild stories from your side. Oh, calm down. We know that. We know that. We know that. But that's not what we're doing today. Today, we can do that another day, landlord. We'll do that another day.

Look, if Shannon had a story about her inspection today where she's cleaned the windows with soap, when a landlord that works on the show has a story about an inspection, we'll do that story. Yeah. Calm down. You're getting a big tax break. Pump the brakes there, landlord.

We'd moved out. They made us come back to wipe two black dog hairs off the scooting board. Oh. Then they made us come back again to remove a handful of paper junk that we'd put in the paper recycling bin as they wanted that empty for the new tenants. And they weren't going to release our bond until we did this. Just a tiny little bit of paper. Oh, yeah, that's just...

We got a warning for dust on the skirting boards in the laundry. The rest of the house was spotless. Just a bit of dust there. We got... Dust on a light switch, which is utterly ridiculous. But you know when you move out. When you move out, you give it a good clean. And when you move in, you also give it a clean.

Like, some dust is fine. Somebody else said when we moved in, there was a lot of wear and tear on the carpet. There was some bald spots on it, which I find offensive. Yeah. What do you call them? Worn areas. Worn areas.

So the top of your head is worn. A worn area, yeah. A heavily trafficked worn area. And then when we came to move out, they wanted to charge us for damage to the carpet. And so we pulled up the email being like, here's you saying

you were going to replace the carpet and the photos we took of said carpet. Yeah. And they were like, oh yeah, that's right. They're just trying it on. Yeah, they're just trying it.

Trying. We lost our bond because there were leaves on the driveway two weeks after us moving out. And they finally did an inspection two weeks after we'd moved out and there were leaves

on the driveway. That's how leaves work. We lost our bond. No. You've got to fight for your right to fight for your bond. You've also got to fight for your right to party. But that's a different phone. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.

Play ZM. Right. Right. What's this big problem you need help with? I need a new TV show to watch at the gym. Right. Right. Right. What's this big problem you need help with? I need a new TV show to watch at the gym. Oh, my God. I thought you were having a serious, like, some kind of midlife crisis or something. Yeah, I was ready to help dive into the deeper depths of your soul.

I'm a middle-class white male in New Zealand. This is a big problem. Some of our favourite. One of our favourite humans. This is the sort of adversity that we're not used to facing. This is tough for you. What are we going to watch next? Not having a great TV show to binge.

So this is a criteria. It can't be House of Dragons season two because I've got to watch that with Sade. Okay. And that's about it. I don't want to re-watch something I've already watched because I know there's lots of new content out there. You also said Shannon isn't allowed to give you any advice.

Shannon's not allowed to pitch in. Because it'll be some kind of below deck. I just feel hurt. Terrible. I almost put Carlin, but then I remember it was Carlin that put me on to Love on the Spectrum. Which I very much enjoyed the American Sarah. But then she does like a lot of the other trash that you don't like. So are you feeling like you want something?

What's going to get the most out of you physically? Because we want the gym to benefit you. It benefits us if you look hotter. Action. Actions. I always find you can turn your brain off to the cardio you're doing when you're watching something where there's action happening. So you're not looking for a heartfelt kind of.

No, I don't think I need a rom-com. No, God, no, no, no, no. Okay, so we're thinking action. All right, action. Yeah, nothing, no, no, no, no. Okay, so we're thinking action. All right, action. Yeah, nothing to... Okay, someone's texted. We're getting it going. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Vikings, I've watched it. Sands of Anarchy. Mirror of Easttown, I've watched it. Wait a sec. You're doing cardio while watching all of these TV shows?

Yeah. Someone text in The Last of Us. You think this nerd hasn't watched that already? I've watched The Last of Us. I've watched Sands of Anarchy. I've watched Money Heist. I've watched The Gentleman. Oh, this is impossible.

How are you not representing the Olympics at some kind of athletics event? Because Daddy likes his treats. You were watching and doing all this cardio to all of these TV shows. Yeah, Lioness, I've watched it. You're right, that was great. I recommended that to... Did you recommend it to me? We literally spoke about this.

You hung hard at those. When you... The minute you said, it's got Zoe Seltzer, and I was like, I'll watch it. What about... Why? Zoe Seldana. Yeah. What an actress. Tick, tick, tick. What an actress. Mayor of Kingston. Watched it.

Designated survivor. No, that's Keith. That was good. A lot of votes for Wentworth. Have you watched Barry? Is that the I've watched the first two seasons of Barry. Barry's good because it's a little bit humorous, which you like.

That's with Bill Hader in it, eh? Bill Hader, but it's also full of action and drama and tension. Yeah. You could jump back in there. Because Bowery, it was one of those ones I started and then something else came up and I didn't go back to. Slow Horses I've watched. Gangs of London I've watched.

Emily in Paris. No. In Break. Next on the show. Isn't that filming like the season five or something? Yeah, on Netflix at the moment it says new season coming soon. I tapped out. Yellow Sun I've watched.

Rome I've watched. Breaking Bad I've watched. Rogue Heroes I've watched and loved. Oh my God, that was so good. And I would say Umbrella Academy I've watched. What do you want from these people? Some sort of mythical show that hasn't been written. I watched the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Oh yeah, that's good.

You know Henry Cavill? Yeah. I'd sit in that chair in the corner of the hotel room, you know what I'm saying? I'd sit on Henry Cavill. I'd watch it. I'd watch it. And he's in that. That rules. You'd love that because it's the same era as the start of the SAS, the

devious things the British did to get... It's a true story. You've done Lincoln Lawyer. No, I don't think that would be- No, I don't think that would be- Gossip Girl. By the way, new season of Lincoln Lawyer like any week now. Oh, really? Gossip Girl, I watched when it first came out.

Brandon Brothers rewatched, watched that. The text machine was ridiculous. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, Sade's watched that. You've seen bits of it, eh? But it's too short. You want something you can invest in, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Presumed innocent, I've heard good things about.

That's the Jake Gyllenhaal. Write that down. Write that down on your list. You know the other thing you can do is like. Have you watched it, Georgia? Okay. Oh, she's saying good things. I might put a question mark beside that.

She did also want to buy a Jeep Ute. She said Jeep Utes look cool. Oh, gosh. Oh, George Burke. So maybe don't watch the show. Supercell on Netflix. Somebody messaged that. I'm not watching that again.

I watched it at the time and I was like, when am I going to stop watching this? Have you watched The OA? Someone just texted that in. It is one of the craziest, amazing shows. The OA. The OA blew my mind. I think I started it.

Banshee, I've watched. That was good, Ted Lasso. I've watched. The Simpsons. I've seen enough. I've seen one. I've watched. The Simpsons. I've seen enough. I've seen one or two episodes. Of The Simpsons. Okay, well, Vaughan, you've started an absolute cluster here on the text machine.

We are getting another... We are filming it at the moment. Do you do anything but watch TV? Is this like opening your eyes? No, it's like... It's the one thing that gets me to get a picture soon. Do you do anything but watch TV? Is this like opening your eyes? It's the one thing that gets me to go to the gym. And one day I went there and the Wi-Fi wasn't working. I was like, are you cracking Zone 2 or 3? Dude, I sit in Zone 3.

How dare you? Does he? Because it sounds like, how do you sit in like a... Well, I'm fat and unfit, so it's easy to get to Zone 3. He gets to Zone 3 walking to his car. I literally said, I sit in Zone 3. I sit down, I'm fat and unfit, so it's easy to get to Zone 3. He gets to Zone 3 walking to his car. I literally said I sit in Zone 3. I sit down, I'm in Zone 3. My heart's like, help me, help me, help me.

Please eat something healthy and stop drinking. Next on the show. Why I might be blacklisted from the supermarket. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Okay, so I'm on this like new food plan, right? And so the day before yesterday, I went to the supermarket and I got a little bit of food.

And then I put together a list and I had to go back to the supermarket. Is this the one that your trainers come up with? Okay, and so they're just like, this is what you have to have for lunch. Eat this much. Okay. Da-da-da-da-da. So I went to the supermarket on Monday and I got some stuff. And then yesterday was Tuesday and I went back to the supermarket

and I had my grocery bags in the boot, right? And so I get my grocery bags out of the boot and I put them in my trolley. I'm like, yeah, I remember the bags. This is great. Then I go through the supermarket, got my list, get all my things, put them in the trolley.

Then I get to the checkout and it's I'm at Pack and Save and they don't pack your bags for you. Never have, never will. That's where they have the saving. That's where they save. That's what they should say in their ads. Never have, never will.

Pull the fingers at you. How good is Pack and Save? They've always got the boxes you can grab. No, they don't anymore. What? They don't anymore. But they used to cut the structural integrity out of them. I don't know what the arse would have gone in. What the hell? They'd be like, oh, there's some boxes there if you want to chuck your groceries in.

We've cut any sort of stability out of it. I know. They're like, oh, you've cut the wrong side out. They'd always cut out the wrong side. Yeah. You don't need to cut out a side. You just fold in the top. But anyway.

I know. Anyway, I won't tell you how to run a supermarket. That's fine. Well, I just shop around. I'm not really loyal to any supermarket. I'll just go. And I was like, packing stuff would be great. So I'll go there.

Anyway, so I get to the checkout and I've got the things and I load up the belt and someone's in front of me. And then I pull out my bags and that's when I realise, I pull out the bags into the trolley so I can pack them straight into the bags. And that's when I realise a box of muesli bars that I bought the day before was in the bottom of one of my shopping bags. Oh, no. And now it looks like I'm stealing it.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I had left them in the bag. Yeah. And just forgotten to take them out from the other supermarket from the day before. And I just was like, oh, no. And then I was like, okay, so what do I do now? Do I say to the checkout chickie that I bought these yesterday

from a different supermarket? But where's your receipt? I don't have it. That's something someone would say if they were caught when it came out of the bag. But what's worse is then I was like, I'll just have to smother it and hide it so that she doesn't see it. And now I look like I'm genuinely stealing it.

So I like had that bag open, saw the music bars and went, shit, oh my God, what do I do? Put my handbag over them. And then she was like, I'll pack your bags if you like. Like she was like, bring it forward and I'll pack it in straight in.

And I was like, I'll pack it. And then so I did this awkward thing where I didn't want her to put the first grocery into the bag and see a box and be like, you need to pay for those. Because it was a general thing. Like you could have got it from that supermarket. So I started doing the awkward thing

where she would beep it and I'd grab it from her hand and put it on. Grab it from her hand and put it on until I had smothered this box of muesli bars that I bought from the day before. And she sort of was looking at me suspiciously like, why are you being so odd? I don't know. It was just a quiet day.

You've just said they don't pack. And now she's like, I'll pack. I think it was just because... You've not read your job description, my darling. But my bags were like open in the trolley. If she's going to put them in the trolley, she was just like, I'll just jam them straight into the bag. That's nice of her. I know, but no,

not on a day of today where it looks like I've stolen these. I was absolutely panicking. And then I would have been acting all, because I've never stolen anything. I would have been acting all funny, smothering it with my handbag. Then at the end,

grabbing all the groceries from her and putting them on top. Then at the end, I was like, my wallet's in my handbag. So I'm going to have to go in while she's watching me close and try to like rummage in

without her seeing a secret box. I got away with it, but I felt like I'd stolen something, paid for it and left. And then I felt like, I was like, had that feeling of like, someone's behind me chasing me

and being like, you're going to pay for that box of muesli bars? That you had paid for the day before at a different supermarket. But I had no way of proving it. Just a basic box of muesli bars. Anyway, I got away with it, but I feel horrendous. You didn't get away with anything. You didn't do anything wrong.

No, but I've got to. Now you're like, I got away with it. I know, but I felt like it. How would I ever have explained why there was a full box of unopened, brand new muesli bars in my bag at a supermarket? Were you about to call them muesli bars? Mueslis. Muesli bar.

Anyway, I got away with it, but I'm so nervous the next time I go into that particular pack and save that they're going to be like, gotcha. We saw you. There's probably your photos on the front door already. I hope I look cute. Do you know what I mean? If I'm going down. Yeah. I hope I look cute. Do you know what I mean? If I'm going down. Yeah.

I hope I at least look good. I knew someone that, you know, on the way out and on the way into service stations and on the way out, and some supermarkets have them as well, there's the colour-coded bar that goes down the glass door so they can tell how tall you were. Yep. What?

Yeah, that's, have you never? You know on service stations how there's the Colour coded bar That runs down the glass door And sometimes it like Has six, five, four Sometimes it's got numbers on it But most of the times It's just a colour

It's just different colours So when they walk past They can be like Top of his head was a blue That means he's six foot Oh, never knew that You've never seen George is the same

You've never noticed that Never noticed it Yeah Because I don't I work within a world of crime I don't commit crimes Even when it looks like I commit crimes. Yeah. Even when it does look like you're robbing musically bars.

I knew someone that when they walked past them going to service sessions would like hop. They never stole anything, but they were like, if I'm going to be on the camera, I want them to think I'm six foot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want the truth to come out that I'm actually five, seven. If I'm like in the background of a criminal walking in with a gun as I'm walking out. I want them to think a heroic six foot man was leaving. Didn't do anything to stop the robbery but was six foot nonetheless. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn

How many days does the Olympics go for? We might get a bit tired of that. How many days does the Olympics

last for? Two weeks. 26th of July to the 11th of August so you're two weeks. That's easy. That's great. You just said that like twice. Just said that like twice. Yeah, I don't know.

We'll see. We'll vibe check on Friday Okay There are Today's fact of the day Is there are 60 countries That have never won A single summer Olympic medal And we just won one this morning

Yeah And a further 40 countries That have never won A single gold medal That was good So we've got We've got lots of Olympians Who have won more medals

Individually than entire countries have Have you ever held one? An Olympic gold? Has someone brought, have we had them in the studio? I feel like, yes. I feel like I've touched one. Heavy. Eric Murray's?

Yeah. They're heavy. They're real heavy, real nice. I want one. These ones look, look, look booty. And this year's, this one's look. And they get a little box of sparklers or something, or incense. What are they getting in that box?

Huh? Incense, a little stick bundle. That's not very French. Shannon, social media desk, what is in that box? What's in the box that they're giving the Olympics? They're a really cute poster, but they can also go buy the same poster. It's out of the middle of TV hits. And you unfold it, you put it on your wall,

and you look at it and you're like, oh my God, I'm going to hate the camera. Yeah, and then 30 years later he'd be problematic. Yeah, exactly. The Olympians can also, though, go to the Olympic Village and buy the poster, so it's kind of not super special. Like, any Olympian can have it.

But it's way better than those stupid stuffed toys that they give away. Oh yeah, it's so cute. But you see the Olympians when they get handed it they all look quite confused. Like they don't know what this is. Just give me a bouquet

and a medal. Yeah, but they're real cute. Okay. Yeah, it's showing a cartoon version of Paris with a picture of the big red Eiffel Tower and the CN

surrounded by sports taking places. Did you say that the river did you see that the river is already like super polluted and like what vents have been cancelled because they're like

it is gross. It is gross. We were wrong. It's actually pretty mucky. French poos. There's French poos. Ooh la la. So the country with the largest population

that has never won an Olympic medal is? Give us a clue. Give us a clue. Country with the largest population. Hasn't always been called this. Used to have a different name. Is that right? African?

No, Asian. Myanmar. The thing is, they'd have to win so many medals to even be on the per capita. Right. I'll just put you out of your misery, shall we? No. We're going to play this game until the end of the show. Bangladesh.

Really? 171 million people and never won an Olympic medal. They had never had an athlete who qualified for the Olympics via merit. They just qualified because they were entitled to. They had to submit someone. The Rio flag bearer and the first person from Bangladesh to ever qualify for the Olympics on merit played golf. He represented them at the Rio Olympics

and he came 55 out of 60. Okay. I didn't realise they were so bad at sport. But their cricket team's getting better, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Always winning some games now. Yeah, but there's tons, and there's heaps of countries you've heard of.

Albania never won a medal. What is it about Bangladesh? It's a very poor country. Oh, they're not good at it because they're not good at swimming because there's no water around or there's not that. Yeah. Or they never won a Winter Olympics medal because

snow is something they would never have seen. Yeah. It's just like an accessibility thing. Yeah. But no, I believe Bangladesh is a very poor nation. And so it doesn't have, you know, most nations that do well have a little discretionary income. They'll smash out a load of track pants, though.

Oh, they won't. That's the thing. Sadly, probably most of the Olympic countries' uniforms have been made in Bangladesh. Yeah. God, everything's made in Bangladesh. Congo, Rwanda, Bosnia, Herzegovina. Those are some other countries that have never won medals.

But Bangladesh has got the largest population for a country that's never won. So we really do. We always go on about being on the per capita table in New Zealand. We're punching regardless, aren't we? Oh, because we're so wittle. We're just so wittle. We're so wittle. We're so wittle.

And got it some sport. We should chuck a couple of handball teams or something. There's a whole lot of sports that I don't even think we've even offered. What could we do? Offered up. I want one of these medals. But I don't want to work that hard. So what's a skill that we've already got going?

Are they still doing clay bird? I don't know. Skate shooting, I think they call it. Are you Olympic good? God, no. Or are you just a couple of wines And a hens do good When I say I've done it once in my life

And I didn't suck Is what I mean by Quite good That's good enough That is the first step On the road to Olympic glory Maybe that's what We need hens do's

We'd be good at those Now Britain would Beat us at those Hell yeah They travel They travel to like Weird Eastern European countries We'd just like

Catch a ferry to Waiheke And come back Blottoed. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is there are 60 countries that have never won a single Olympic medal and the one with the highest population to have never won one, Bangladesh.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Incredible staff from Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez. Now, is it true, Producer Jared, that at high school, do we talk about this, you did fencing? Am I making that up? No, I did fencing, but I wasn't pregnant at the time. Yeah.

Because this is insane. She just competed at the Paris Olympics. She reached the last 16 of the women's sabre before losing. So she's out now. Yeah. But she revealed afterwards that she has competed seven months pregnant. Like, you can have a baby from seven months and it'll be all right. Yeah.

So much more to poke. That's what we were saying. Yeah, you've got your baby belly. Yeah. And that's more for them to touch. Looking at her, just looking at the photos of her, she is definitely not, I've seen some seven-month pregnant women, you're, like, far out.

Like, you're really showing. She's not super. I wouldn't even say that to someone. Really, you're not like, boom, boom, boom. You know, like, holy. Let me get my hands on that. No, she's, like, definitely, I can't tell from this, but she could be quite petite and it's not like a ginormous stomach.

Seven months pregnant. I mean, you're fighting for two. You are fighting for two. But like we were just saying off air before, like sometimes that extreme class at Les Mills, you'll see pregnant women doing it. We saw a pregnant woman doing it. Big, huffy bellies. Like, absolutely crank and lift and weight and stuff.

And you're like, go you. I feel like if I was pregnant, that would just be all the excuse I needed just to stay at home. Sit. Sit and eat. Sit and eat. Yeah, exactly.

Sit, eat and nest. Like, that's all I would do. It's absolutely incredible stuff. And I know that, like, maybe you get a super strength or something. Yeah. Well, this is what I wanted to know is, what did you do while heavily pregnant?

Because some people just don't stop. They'll be out there bloody milking cows and shearing sheep. Maybe you climbed Everest. There's no bloody room for sitting with your feet up when you're on the farm and you're pregnant. There's jobs to be done. Get in there. Until the baby's head is out.

Yeah, even then you push it back in for a bit because you haven't finished shearing. Yeah, we can't leave half of them woolly. Bloody flee done. Get in there. Until the baby's head is out. Yeah. Even then you push it back in for a bit because you haven't finished sharing. Yeah, we can't leave half of them woolly. Bloody fleeces. It's summer. Yeah. I know. Okay, let's take your calls.

0800 DALS at M. You can text through 9696. What did you do while you were heavily pregnant? We want to know what you've done heavily pregnant. So many messages coming in. There's a gymnast, not a gymnast, a fencer who just competed

at the Olympics seven months. Seven months. That's fencing. That's proper prego. And that's, you've got to move around. We're not talking

driving posts into the ground and straining some wires and banging some horseshoe staples into a fence there to keep the bloody cows where they should be. We're talking jabbery pokery. Jabbery pokery.

Jabbery pokery. Fencing. Michelle, what did you do heavily pregnant? I ran a half marathon. Jeez! How many months pregnant were you? I was six months at the time. Oh, please don't have a better time than me. What time are we talking?

Pardon? What time did you get for your half marathon? Oh, I was only about five minutes off my personal best. So what time did you get for your half marathon? Oh, I was only about five minutes off my personal best. So what time did you do? Just over two hours. Oh, my God! Michelle. Michelle, people can't even run a half marathon.

I actually... Did your baby come out a bit scrambled? Like, running and it comes out as like, whoa, or it could be a good horse rider. No, she didn't want to come out at all. This actually reminds me of the time that I wasn't pregnant and I ran 5k in 40 minutes, if we're just comparing times. So then if you were to do another 5k,

it would be 80 minutes, and then 160. Right, okay. 160, not one hour 60, 160 minutes would take me. You're very impressive, Michelle. You are. Thank you, Michelle. Tracy, what did you do heavily pregnant?

Yeah, good morning. So I was a couple of days off my due date and we were moving from a farmhouse into a village and I pretty much lifted everything, done everything. My mum kept saying, slow down. And that day I also went to my son's cross country that he was competing in. And then that night went into labour and had a home birth where my partner pretty much delivered the baby

until the head was out when my midwife rushed in the room. Oh my God, you were a machine. It was on brand new carpet too and did not make a mess. You gave a tiny berth. That also says something about the carpet. It must have that kind of speckled or kind of that stain resistant stuff built in.

Scotchgard. Bit of a Scotchgard on that carpet. Tracey, thank you. Not hearing from any guys. Renee, what did you do heavily pregnant? Hi. I was heading into town with my partner. We were in a van and we approached the roundabout and we were in the inside lane

and there was an old guy on his bike in the outside lane. But he actually fell over, stopped the bike, didn't even think about it, jumped out, gave him a hand, lifted it up, turned around and like everyone's kind of looking at me in shock and then I kind of went, oh, I'm eight months pregnant. Oh, you lifted up a motorcycle.

You picked up a motorcycle. Are you usually strong or do you feel like it was some kind of pregnant strength? I kind of normally am quite strong and do things that I probably shouldn't do anyway. Right, Renee. It's coming to save the day, Renee. Love it. Yeah, someone had to help me out. So far, you save the day, Renee. Love it. Yeah, we might have to help them out. So far, you're right.

The women are doing well. The women. Smashing it. Really representing. Renee, thank you. Some messages in. I was racing motocross at 25 weeks pregnant with my first and climbed Mount Tohara near Taupo

when I was also 25 weeks pregnant with my third. Jeepers creepers. I played rugby right up until I gave birth. I didn't even know I was pregnant. I was still drunk while in labour. Jesus Christ. Because we were at the prize giving and I went into labour and everyone was like, she's just had too much to drink.

She's pissed herself. She's pissed herself. And I go to hospital, showed up two weeks later, the club was with a baby. Everyone was like, who's this? I never believed those stories of women that didn't know they were pregnant until they had the baby. And we've spoken to them over the years

on the show, people that this has happened to. It doesn't show as much. Yeah, it's wild. Somebody said I was 40 plus two weeks pregnant, so two weeks overdue. And the bloody hay bales weren't going to throw themselves on the back of the ute, were they? Yes! Trying to get out there and throw the hay up on the ute.

Absolute machine. We have our first Olympic gold medal today. The female sevens team. Joe! Beating Canada earlier this morning. But we've been very impressed by an Egyptian Olympian as well who did fencing. Did the fencing seven months pregnant.

Yeah. Insane. So we want to know what you did heavily pregnant. 39 weeks pregnant. I just wanted that baby out. I was recommended I go for a walk. Went for a 15k walk. I think they just meant a couple of

kilometres. Absolutely. They mean round the block, right? Yeah. My best friend played netball until she was seven months pregnant. She was centre. Wow. That's a lot of moving in that position. My waters broke at 5am but labour didn't start so we went pig hunting. My daughter was born later that day. I hope they named her

Piggy. Like on a forestry road in the middle of nowhere? We can only hope. At seven months pregnant I climbed down a rope on a bank with my ambulance pack to rescue someone who had fallen and broken their leg. Imagine being down there and being like, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine, it's fine, I'll wait, I'll wait. Now this feels like, this is a story from Morrinsville, my hometown. Now this does not sound at all like anybody from Morrinsville I know.

There was a lady in Morrinsville, she was at the pub. And apparently she didn't even know she was pregnant and her waters broke. And she's like, ah, God, not again. Not again. Apparently she put her handle on the bar and said, don't touch that, I'm coming back for that. Went away, came back with the baby, finished the handle,

and then went home. No, that's not true. That's urban legend. That's got to be urban legend. Urban legend. No way. Yeah. They do breed them tough in Moran's.

They do. Yeah, they do. Look at this fine example. We're very strong. The ladies double sculler both mums at the Olympics. Lucy Spores raised last year when she was 17 weeks pregnant. Jeepers. Competitively.

Wow. Jeez Louise. I was going into labour and I raged my husband to tell him we need to go to the hospital his contractions are five and apart and he said to me i've got 250 sheep to finish vaccinating you can come and help me if you wanted to hurry up now as a man that has said if you want me to hurry up you're welcome to help yep i have said that never to a pregnant woman never in fact never really loud enough so the woman I'm intending to hear actually hears it. You could come out and help if you want.

Feel free to have helped me at any stage throughout the day. Yikes. I was overdue with my son. I had to change a tyre on my car. Oh, wow. Because you've got to lie down on the ground to do it. You've got to get under there. The guy from AA does, yeah.

I always lie on the ground. Why are you lying on the ground to change a tyre? What are you doing? Bending over. I stand. You put the jacket down. I stand. And you jack it up. Yeah, but to get the jack under the little plate bit,

you've got to lie on the ground. No, the guy from AA does it, Hayley. You watch him. I'm not calling AA for a flat tyre. You get your free ones. Oh, God. I was a teen mum for a flat tyre. Your free ones. Oh, God. I was a teen mum with my first son at 38 weeks. I went from school from 8.30 to 3.00, sat my exams.

Then went to my job at Macca's from 3.30 till 10.00. That was pretty crazy. Hard money. Good on you. Doing it. I was a midwife and at 38 weeks pregnant, I was still delivering other people's babies. Wow.

It's always weird. Someone just messaged in, oh my God, I couldn't even shave my own legs when I was pregnant. These women are amazing. Yeah, they are. Yeah. It's just bloody. We're in awe of you all.

I ran a half marathon. A few of those, a few of the marathons. A lot of exercise. Someone's doing F45, 37 weeks pregnant. That shit's insane. Accidentally did a grade's doing F45, 37 weeks pregnant. That shit's insane. Accidentally did a grade four mountain bike track, six months pregnant. Baby daddy was clearly not reading the signage product

when he led me down that one. Oops. You should go and get just anywhere and it'd be like, oh, I'm not suitable for pregnant. And you'd turn around and be like, I've come all this way though. Yeah. But I really want to do it.

No, apparently it's fine, sweetheart. Let's go. See ya, see ya later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop No, apparently it's fine, sweetheart. Let's go. See ya, see ya later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there. That's copyrighted. Suzy Cato's a very good friend of mine. She's already sued me twice, so if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,

that would be great. Tell her I'll review her five stars if she does the same for this podcast, and then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
