The top 6
In New Zealand
Have said
We're going to have
Some new uniforms
Yes
I've got the top 6 Quintessential pieces Of New Zealand clothing said we're going to have some new uniforms. Yes, I've got the top six quintessential pieces of New Zealand clothing
that simply must be part of the NZ uniform.
Well, they're asking for designers.
Who would your pick be?
Moochie.
Moochie.
No, they should do something like quintessential.
Because Tralee's Cooper was great.
And before that was Barbara Lee.
Who's Barbara Lee?
Barbara Lee did my school uniform.
Oh, must be nice.
She's like a high-end uniform maker.
Oh.
They should do something funky.
Barbara.
Barbara Lee.
Who did Morrinsville College?
Warnocks.
Do you remember Warnocks?
Yes.
It used to do all the school uniforms.
Yeah.
Oh, Harry Sones, actually.
Shout out to Harry Sones.
A small Waikato town's clothing store that has been open since the 1930s.
And it hasn't been-
And never sold out.
Oh, good.
To, you know, big brands that would have come in and then just been like, nah, let's just
run it all out of Hamilton.
Yeah.
Named after Harry, who opened the shop.
Yeah.
Bloody legend, Harry was.
Well, get him on the New Zealand uniform. Harry Sones. Yeah. Named after Harry, who opened the shop. Yeah. Bloody legend Harry was. Well, get him on the New Zealand uniform.
Harry Soans.
Yeah.
I reckon they should do someone like Zambezi and have everyone sort of like oversized and
quite gothy, like down the aisles.
Yeah, but that's not going to age well.
Like, this uniform's been around for what, like a long time?
And it's awesome.
It's such a...
It's very purple.
No, no, but everyone looks great in it.
I've never seen a body that didn't look great in it.
Well done to Lex.
She's out of here.
Well, the top six are options soon for the new Air New Zealand uniform.
Absolutely.
Also coming up on the show.
Well, for what goes under the uniform,
apparently there is a magic number of brassieres that women should own.
I'll tell you the number and I'll cross-reference my own undies drawer.
Because I rock about two on rotation.
And I don't even want to know how many times those get washed.
Next on the show.
Your boobs don't sweat.
Not at all.
Harry Warner, let's discuss next.
Play.
ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
What? Mm. Huh? and Hayley Hey Over to you
Shortland Street
They've replaced Harry Warner
What year is
What year are we in of Shortland?
1992 it started
So yeah, 31
31 year
This is the 31st
Remember the big 30th
Last year
Yeah
Yes
So
Please tell me this is not your penis
2017 Blew my mind I thought it was 2019 The iconic scene Yeah Last year, yeah. Yes. So, please tell me this is not your penis. 2017.
Blew my mind.
I thought it was 2019.
The iconic scene.
Yeah, where Harry's sending his junk to her,
but all their Apple appliances are all linked,
so he takes a photo and it goes onto the family iPad.
Yes.
And Chris Warner has to tell him off and say,
please tell me this is not your penis.
Now, soon after that, Harry left
Shortland Street, but not, I don't
believe, long enough to have attended a
full stint of medical school, because he's back
baby. Except we've
got a brand new actor.
I hate that.
Lucy off Neighbours. This was the big
one when we were kids. Lucy off Neighbours
changed about six times.
They'd be like, oh, Lucy's going to
spend summer in Adelaide. She'd come back
and she'd be like, hi everyone.
Lucy's changed. Lucy's, yeah, gone
somewhere. Lucy's on the sick end.
Lucy's taken off smoking when she's
in Adelaide. Mine was
the mum off Fresh Prince of Balea.
Oh yeah, Aunt Viv. Yeah, Aunt Viv.
Aunt Viv. Between season one and season two.
She got, she changed because Will Smith didn't like her.
And then when it came out,
it just like, it just like jolts your perspective of it.
Yeah, and they were just like,
this is how it is now.
You have to like it.
Yeah.
Yeah, we had no choice.
But it's a different actor.
Yeah.
There'd be a few,
remember Hogan's Heroes did this.
Remember Hogan's Heroes? Harry Potter did this. Yeah, I loved Hogan's Heroes did this Remember Hogan's Heroes
Harry Potter did this
Yeah I loved Hogan's Heroes
Yeah they did it
Who did they recast?
They just recast the African American guy
With another African American guy
Oh no
I thought we wouldn't notice
I thought we wouldn't notice
For God's sake
I didn't notice
Well Vaughn didn't notice
I haven't watched this as an adult
I watched it as a child
I didn't see colour
I didn't see colour as a child
No no
He's so innocent
Yeah Richard Harris in Harry Potter He died And so they replaced him child. I didn't see colour as a child. No, no. So innocent.
Richard Harris in Harry Potter.
He died. And so they replaced him. Oh, Dumbledore. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But would you rather they replace him so the character
continues? Or I guess it has to.
Definitely, if someone passes away. You don't want to kill
someone off. No. We couldn't kill Harry
Warner off. That would be a devastating story.
It's happened in heaps of shows
so I'll add. Oh, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And movies
and yeah, it happens
all the time. But they've recast, my
problem with recasting is when you recast it with someone
who looks completely different.
Yeah. Completely different.
And about three foot taller.
Not that the guy that used to play Harry Warner was
short, but he was just about
taller than Chris Warner and now he's
gone to medical school and he's come back and he's a giant
boy. Yeah. How old's the character
supposed to be now? Well, I guess if he's
been to medical school, he's got to
be at least 20, right?
But
yeah, Xander
is the new actor playing Harry
Warner and Harry Warner's back and he's
a doctor. Nothing against the new actor. No, no, no.
No, no, no.
But I saw the promo and I was like
oh, a bunch of new
like intakes, new
doctors and that. And then it was like, hi
dad. And I was like, what?
Chris Warner's got another
illegitimate child? But it wasn't, it was Harry.
It was Harry, yeah. He's got a lot
eh? Harry. Chris Warner bloody gets it around. They need to bring back Phoenix a child but it wasn't it was harry it's harry yeah yeah he's got a lot eh harry chris warner
bloody gets it around they need to bring back phoenix because he was older again yet he's
probably retired now he's probably living in a rhyming the way that they kind of just jilted
disjointed aging process i haven't watched it for a long time the actor who played phoenix is a good
friend of my friend and whenever i talked to I was like, would you go back?
He's like, I don't even know what happened to Phoenix.
Like, where is he in the world?
Because I've just actually searched Chris Warner and children.
How many does he have?
Apparently six.
Okay.
Apparently six.
I'll search Phoenix.
Every time they need another storyline, he has another illegitimate child.
He comes back.
All right, next on the show, our silly little pole, Coriander.
Now, some people are wired, like physically wired to...
I don't know, because I thought I had that gene, the Coriander gene,
where you're like wired to think that it tastes like soap.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
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.
Is there a more controversial herb than coriander.
No.
Cilantro to our Latino friends.
There's no more controversial herb.
Well, no, because some people think it tastes like soap.
Yes.
Their bodies are wired to think that way.
Parsley.
Delicious.
Definitely your parsley is delicious.
Yeah, but also sometimes that could be a bit earthy.
You know, it's got to be small.
You've got to cut it small.
But like a beautiful garnish.
Fresh coriander and a taco.
Oh, yeah.
On a curry, on a dish.
You don't need to convince me I have it on anything.
Yeah, it's delicious.
I have it on eggs on toast.
I put eggs on toast and I put like a handful of cilantro on it.
Oh, see, see.
And then I'll dose it in chili oil and make a spicy bloody egg on toast.
Oh my God, yum.
Welcome.
No my hearty my welcome.
Well, I googled what is the most controversial herb, and all I got was articles on cilantro.
The most controversial herb.
If that was one of the 11 secret herbs, people would know why, because they'd be like,
They'd be like, KFC's a bit soapy.
So we can rule that one out.
I'm just saying.
Maybe we can.
If there's an investigation, maybe we can.
The world's worst kept secret.
So the salat opal, coriander, yum, indifferent or yuck?
Okay.
You can't be indifferent.
No, no, no.
You're either passionate or you're very against.
This very much surprised me.
23% of people indifferent.
Okay.
Nearly a quarter of people are like...
Sure, put some on.
Yeah.
Okay.
30% yuck.
Yep.
47% yum.
Okay, so the majority would,
if you combined indifferent and yum,
would eat it.
But I would still,
like I still,
if I'm cooking for people,
no matter what the cuisine is, I'll pop a coriander and everything.
I'll always check.
No, no, no.
I never ask if there's any dietary requirements.
Because I don't want to be friends with people who eat different.
That's why you've got so many EpiPens at your house.
You just roll the dice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're just empty.
Peanuts.
They're empty.
Cilantro.
It's just to make people feel better.
Oh, they're empty?
Yeah. Oh, okay. You just jab them and there's like no needle. And they're like, oh, I feel better. They're empty. Cilantro. It's just to make people feel better. Oh, they're empty? Yeah.
Oh, okay.
You just jab them and there's like no needle.
And they're like, oh, I feel better.
And I was like, ha, we've got a liar on our hands.
And then if they die, unfortunately.
That's just nature, isn't it?
Weeding out the weak.
Yes.
I joke, I joke.
Hey, Jets.
We speak in Jets.
Don't come at me.
We speak in Jets.
Jets and jokes.
Jetski 34, hell of a name. Jests and jokes. Jetski 34.
Hell of a name.
Yeah.
Are they a jet ski?
They are a jet ski.
Oh, okay.
They're a Yamaha jet ski.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, they... Good morning to our jet skis.
They'll wrap down for the season.
Yeah.
It's a little cold.
Yeah.
It's delicious.
Brings a freshness to Vietnamese.
But why jet ski?
Oh, Vietnamese.
Limited to Vietnamese.
Yes.
Vietnamese would be nothing without coriander.
Yeah.
Coriander and mint.
Yes.
In Vietnam.
A hell of a combo.
Mint in a salad is just a nice surprise.
Any salad I make always has mint and coriander.
That's nice.
A bit of mint in.
Yeah.
That's nice.
What about chives?
God, I love chives.
Nah.
No, I'm not big on chives.
Chives could just tear off the face of the earth.
Are you kidding me?
Same with parsley. I wouldn't miss them. Chives and parsley, a hell of a combo. Nah. Nah, I'm not big on chives. Chives could just tear off the face of the earth. Are you kidding me? Same with parsley.
I wouldn't miss them.
Chives and parsley, hell of a combo.
Nah.
Nah.
You sons of bitches.
Nah.
Samantha says absolutely.
Well, things are getting heated.
Things are getting heated in the kitchen.
We said it was a controversial herb.
Yeah.
Chives, we're.
Chives, it's so good.
A little cut with the scissors.
I'm going to say Chives Schmives.
Yeah, Chives Schmives.
You like sour cream and Chives chips.
I love...
I'm not saying I don't like Chives, but I won't.
You said Chives Schmives.
Yeah, but I'm not going to die for some Chives.
I'd die for coriander a minute.
You'd die for coriander.
Yeah.
Absolutely not, says Samantha.
Why?
How come you're enlisting?
We're fighting for coriander.
We're fighting for coriander.
We're fighting for coriander.
I'll wave the coriander flag
Yeah
Al-Qaeda is coming for the coriander
Al-Coriander
Al-Coriander
Which sounds more like
A beautiful Spanish village to me
Or like a
Or a nice Mexican restaurant
Yes
Oh god I'm hungry
Should we go to Al-Coriander
They call it Al-Cilantro
Al-Cilantro
Yeah
That's their name for it
Si señor
Si papi Samantha Si, papi.
Samantha says, absolutely not.
Tastes like soap.
That little bugger hides in so many meals too.
Face.
Yeah.
Danielle, absolutely no need for it.
Evil asshole of a herb.
Whoa.
I'm 34 and I don't know if I've ever tried it.
I avoid it on purpose now just because I'm scared it will be foul.
Chelsea. Chelsea. You will've ever tried it. I avoid it on purpose now just because I'm scared it will be foul. Chelsea.
Chelsea.
You will have definitely tried it.
Yeah.
Because there's two people ago who whinged about it.
Samantha, whingy Samantha, a couple of whinges ago.
She said it hides in so many foods.
So you will have already had it.
Yeah, you would have had it.
And it's strong.
Yeah.
It's a strong herb.
I used to hate it, says Kat.
And then one curry night 10 years ago,
my friends were saying how they don't know how people don't like
it because of how delicious it is, etc, etc.
So as to not to feel left out, I just ate
it and now I genuinely love it. Yeah.
There you go. A fellow convert.
Take a leap into a curry.
Emma. Leap on in. Says yum!
Just adds that extra sparkle to
every dish. It does. It is sparkly.
Disgusting,
says Melanie.
Although I recently had a cardamom pod in my mouth and I may have to say that is more disgusting.
Oh, yeah.
When you get the star anus
and they haven't pulled it out of the curry
and you're like, good lord.
Far out what I just bit into.
When my mum used to make a corned beef
with cabbage in the crock pot.
And she used to put in six peppercorns. And she'd say
watch the peppercorns!
But that was literally just pepper.
Yeah. Like, she talked
about them like they were a landmine.
Like they were the hottest shell. Like they were just galloping through a field
in France, sort of post
World War I. Yeah.
But they were like, it was a chili bomb.
But it wasn't, it was just a little bit of pepper that we would
later grind onto our food.
Watch the peppercorns.
And yeah, that's that silly little poem.
Emily Blunt is this woman's name.
What?
Like the actress?
So not Emily Blunt, but Emily Blount.
Blount.
B-L-O-U-N-T.
Blunt.
She is the CEO of a lingerie company.
Okay.
And she has revealed the sort of magic number of brassieres
that every woman should own, what kind of bra,
and how many they should own.
Okay, so how many do you own?
Well, I own a lot, but none of them fit.
Oh, okay.
Because you have massive honkers.
Oh, my honkers got... In thekers. Oh, my honkers got...
In the last 12 months, my honkers have just...
Massive man.
They're good fun.
Tell you what, sometimes they're a pain in the butt,
but sometimes they're like, wow.
But I haven't thrown out my old bras,
and I haven't done a full new bra shop,
because I don't know if they're here to stay.
This would be me if I was a female
because,
you know,
at the moment,
because I've got like
three or four suits
and I,
You're a fluctuator.
I'm a fluctuator.
Yeah.
And so at the moment,
there's one suit
at the moment I can fit.
Yes.
Which is great
because I need a suit
this weekend.
Yes.
I'm a fluctuator too.
But this would be me
if I was a woman,
I would have to have like
so many different sizes of bras.
Because they're so expensive
as well,
like for good bras and yeah, for a lot of like for me when I put on weight it goes to the
boobies first no complaints I mean you know there are some worse places that the weight could go
yeah so I yeah I've got lots but I probably rotate between two because I gave up on the
underwire life's too short for the underwire.
I might...
What does the underwire do again?
Just stretch.
Well, it's just kind of like
hard and up
and kind of puts them up and stuff.
But where does the wire sit
against the rib cage?
Yeah.
So then are there wires that come out?
They can be comfortable.
You've got to get a proper bra fitted.
And I haven't done that for ages
for the Nuka Hongas
because, again,
life's, you know,
moving at a fast pace.
How long are they here to stay?
Would it be fair to call them
a couple of Aougas?
Aougas?
We could call them Aougas.
A couple of Aougas.
Yeah.
So I reckon I've got a couple
but I've got a draw full of
nice ones that are
a little too small now.
We'll head over to the other,
the breast owners
in the team.
Boobies, boobies.
Carween, how many bras are in rotation
for you? Look, I'm the opposite to you and I recently
did the decluttering. Oh.
So I only have, I'd say
like four proper bras and then maybe
like five sports bras. And what is, oh yeah,
I'm not counting sports bras. I've got a ton of those.
But do you,
like what kinds?
Have you got like your everydayers
and then maybe a nice one?
Yeah.
Couple of,
like one that's really secure.
Yeah.
Oh God,
your hoist them in.
And then a couple of pretty ones.
Yeah,
a couple of pretties.
I thought that's what
the sports bras were for.
Oh my God.
If you're not wearing
a sports bra every day,
like under a cute dress.
Oh, you couldn't do that?
No.
No, because if you've got bigger boobs as well,
just in your general life,
you need them to be secured.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
This I'm learning with the new Ouga Ougas.
Because I've always been a very petite breasted boy anymore.
Are Chanelette pyjamas?
Yeah, I think if we're not counting sports bras,
probably two or three nude and like event ones,
then maybe like...
Hold on, what are you talking about?
Yeah.
Like you need like the shaping ones.
The colour.
You need like smooth ones that you could wear under anything
that won't have like a pinging bit or like a lacy bit.
And the bra's a little bit longer at the bottom.
So if you did some Spanx, there's no.
There's got to be connection.
You need it to basically.
Okay, producer Jared.
No, I've commando.
Yeah, I thought so. I was going to say, but they're going to get saggy, Jared. They're going to get, basically. Okay, producer Jared? No, I've commando. Yeah, I thought so.
I was going to say,
but they're going to get
saggy, Jared.
They're going to get saggy.
He's a slight girl.
He's a slight girl.
Well, this woman,
Emily Blunt,
Blunt,
she said that the key number
is you should have
three everyday bras.
That'd be your smooth
sort of t-shirt bras,
something comfortable,
something that like
supports you enough.
Three sports bras, she's saying.
A couple of
loungewear bras and
a couple of dressy bras
and one of those dressy ones should be a
strapless. What's a lounge
bra? Probably like what I'm wearing
like a comfy kind of stretchy
thing. A comfy
sort of stretchy thing with a you know, a nice band.
But she doesn't then dip into how many sports bras one should have.
Yeah, three.
Oh, so that was sports bras.
Yeah, so she's saying around 10, but you should wash them,
like you should wash them quite regularly, which I do,
and aim to replace them every six to nine months.
We made it, honey.
These are so expensive, especially, oh my
God, like friends of mine that have like
anything bigger than like a
double D,
so expensive. They just get outrageous.
Right, and so you just wear them until they die.
Yeah, man, I haven't
replaced my bras in years. $100
a bra?
Like at least. Those are the sexy ones.
Well, no, those are ones that will like hold you.
Are the sexy ones more expensive than the standard like?
Oh, sometimes. So practicality
plays no part in cost because
the sexy ones are literally like. But it
does because if you had like really big
boobs, there's more to the
bra. Right. Do you reckon you'd have good
boobs? I don't know. If you're
a female? I deny. I
sort of feel like you would have, Vaughn,
you would have like really round, juicy cojongas.
Yeah, I think, I mean, that's a high praise.
And Fletch, for some reason, I feel with you,
you would have like little pointy bees.
Yeah, Fletch would have pointy bees.
And a fat ass.
Dude, I honestly think if you were a chick,
you would be all about squats. I'd have a good dumper. You'd be really fat, yeah. Dude, I honestly think if you were a chick, you would be all about squats.
I'd have a good dumper.
You'd be really athletic, little titties,
and a huge, a huge fat ass.
And when you walk down the street,
people would be like, damn.
Yeah.
The kind of little pointy titties
that you don't need to wear a bra on.
Everyone's just like, look at you go.
Yeah.
Nice.
And you would swim topless at the beach.
Hell yeah.
You're a real European. You're a real European. She at you go. Yeah. Nice. And you would swim topless at the beach. Hell yeah. You're a real European.
You're a real European.
She must be European.
Yeah.
And then you get out and you're like, hi.
And they're like, oh my God.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Haley.
Play ZM.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Air New Zealand looking for a new uniform.
Who is it?
Traleece.
Traleece Cooper did the last one.
Yep.
They're looking for an update.
Kind of throwing it open, I think.
Yeah.
It's a bit of a competition.
Like looking for a New Zealand designer.
What if they would get like a young up-and-coming designer?
Who are our young up-and-coming designer? Who are our young up-and-coming designers?
Jennifer Perpetua.
What?
Jennifer Perpetua.
Jennifer Perpetua.
I'm wearing her now.
Are you wearing her now?
Yeah.
So, Traleece Cooper's uniform was 2011.
Oh, my God.
Wow, it's been over a long time.
Yeah, so that's a long time.
Little pinstripes and the little koru
shirts and stuff.
12 years and other, News Article says, have been worn.
So yeah. New Zealand fashion designers
young, because they did
um...
There's one called Fanny Bus.
Fanny Bus.
I was reading this morning in the New Zealand Herald
the Viva pullout.
Viva Las Vegas.
That's exactly the song.
That's their theme song.
They actually had a big run through of all the designers that it could be.
Paris Georgia on there.
Wynne Hamlin.
Maggie Marilyn.
Yumei.
Harris Tapper.
Harry Weir.
Emma Jing. Georgia Ellis. Frisian Nitz,
Karen Walker.
We all know Karen Walker.
You broke her body.
I'm reading an article on up and coming.
Great personal friend of mine.
Up and coming New Zealand designers.
So there you go.
They could all be on the list.
But I've got the top six items that simply must be part of the new
Air New Zealand uniform
in at number six for those
wet days where you're loading people on
on the ramps or the stairs on the tarmac and you're standing
outside, red band gumboots.
Unbeatable
with the protection. Yeah, but they have the
Air New Zealand logo on them. You bet. Yeah, good.
Yeah, they'll be black. Yeah.
Cool. You bet. Could they have a little pocket
on the side for lollies?
They could do.
You could fill them up with lollies.
You could slip them off into something a little bit more comfortable.
Okay.
Such as number five on the list of the top six items that simply must be part of the
New Zealand uniform, socks and jandals.
When you've loaded the plane, you take your red bands off, you leave them at the door
and you slip, you leave your socks on,, you leave them at the door and you slip.
You leave your socks on, but you slip into some jandals.
Okay.
Yeah.
Number four on the list of the top six items that simply must be part of the New Zealand uniform.
School leavers jersey.
Why not?
Say what school you went to and what year was your final year at that school.
Yeah.
Great conversation starter.
Yeah.
Great conversation starter.
I don't know if it's very business looking.
Oh, Judith, I see you went to Hamilton Girls High and you left in 1967.
Oh, dear.
That'd be a pretty raggedy jumper at that point.
It'd be raggedy.
They might give you a new one, but just reprint the design on it.
Yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six items that simply must be part of the new Air New Zealand uniform,
wonky Ugg boots.
Oh, yeah.
You know, worn out on the inside
for all the walking
they've been doing.
Comfortable, though.
It's stuffy.
How do those flight attendants
wear high, like,
a heeled shoe
up and down,
up and down?
Oh, they're horrible.
Stand up, sit down,
stand up, sit down.
They should be given
an Air New Zealand croc,
which is not on the list,
but that's totally
a great option.
They do slip into a more comfortable
shoe. In long haul,
you've got your heels, and then you go
into a flat, and then you slip
back in your heels for take-off and landing.
This flight I was on recently, this woman was in these heels.
I noticed when I was getting on the plane, I was like,
damn, those are high heels, and she stayed in them all
not stiletto. They were
a fatter stump. She wouldn't be able to wear those on the emergency
slide. She'd pierce it. She'd on the emergency slide. She'd pierce it.
She'd pierce the slide.
They'd all die.
Number two on the list of the top six items
that simply must be part of the New Zealand uniform.
Rugby shorts.
Comfortable pair of rugby shorts.
Yeah, they should just do a rugby uniform.
Yeah.
That'd be good.
I know they want us to talk about it.
But if you've been on a flight lately
and all the lollies are blackcurrant flavoured
and it says something about black and you'll find out why, I know they want us to talk about it. But if you've been on a flight lately and all the lollies are blackcurrant flavoured and it says something about black
and you'll find out why,
I know they want us to talk about it.
This was the very idea of making all of the lollies
blackcurrant lollies.
Somebody do it with the all blacks.
Oh, no, I haven't flown for a while.
Yuck flavour.
Well, we're flying tomorrow, aren't we?
Yes, you'll see.
I normally say no to the lolly.
I always say no to the lollies.
But you shove the basket in your face like you're
in Catholic church and they want your money.
And number one on the list of the top six items that simply must be part of the new Air New Zealand uniform.
Those bright camo ridgeline polar fleeces.
Oh, yeah, they're great.
My sister's kids have got them.
Really?
Right.
Yeah, very much the rural New Zealand uniform.
Team that up with a mullet.
Oh, yeah.
Some rugby shorts. Yep. And some red bands. And you got with a mullet. Oh, yeah. Some rugby shorts.
Yep.
And some red bands.
And you got yourself what I would describe as a little bastard.
Caden.
Caden, you little bastard.
That is today's top six.
Queenstown's getting some new grit and snow plows.
These are the trucks that go up over the Crown Range
to clear the road and put a bit of grit down
so you can drive over it too.
Isn't the snow plow what bloody ran over Jeremy?
That was a full-blown snow plow.
That was like a tract.
That's like what they have up the mountain.
To groom the slopes.
Yeah, grooming.
Groomers.
But he had one
because
he lived in a place
that was so prone to snow
that he needed it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's wild
when he's describing
being run over by it.
Being run over by the snow plows.
It's amazing he's even alive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So Queensland Lake District Council
have purchased
two new grit trucks,
a plow truck and a CMAMA truck What's a CMA truck?
A CMA truck, that's probably where the grit goes
Yeah, crunchy mulch
Agri-Irkana
Irkana A stands for aggregate
Crunchy malt aggregate
We've figured it out
You don't even need to Google
Are they going to need to be using these this weekend
When we're on our way to Wanaka for this
wedding? They better not be because we're in a mini van
and I don't believe it's a four-wheel drive.
Do you know we've hired a Gloria
Vale people mover? Yeah, I know.
It's going to be cute as hell. For the wedding.
We're going to look like a family of brethren. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing
but that's alright. No, it's great. I'm excited.
Yeah.
I can't find what CMA means. No, I'm looking too.
It's driving me crazy. Okay. All the stories are just about, if somebody's listening,
could you message in and let us know?
You let us know.
What does CMA stand for?
Maybe you work in the CMA industry.
They are looking for names for these trucks.
So, I mean, when did Boaty McBoatface happen?
Oh, yeah.
I want to say 2016.
Was Boaty McBoatface the first?
It was the David Attenborough ship, wasn't it,
that they were trying to name?
2017 it was launched,
so that means the naming competition was probably 2016.
Right.
And that kind of started every naming competition
had to have a McFace.
Yeah, Mikey McMikeface to name our microphones.
Because Bodie McBoatface actually won, didn't it?
Yes.
By the end of the poll on the 16th of April 2016,
Bodie McBoatface had 33% of the total vote.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then they were just like, don't be so strong.
And then people have taken the joke too far.
You've got to stop it now.
We must.
We must.
So apparently it was an homage to Hootie McOwlface,
which was an owl that was named by people through a Dr. Bird program in 2012
that was popular on the internet.
Okay, so Boaty McBoatface didn't even start it.
So Hootie McOwlface, which is a great name for an owl.
It's a great name for an owl.
They're all about the face as well, the owls.
Yeah, big faces.
So they're doing a naming competition or they're just after names?
They're after names.
Grittney Spears. names. Britney Spears.
Britney Spears.
Because that spreads grit.
I like that.
And Spritty Mercury.
Oh, I like Spritty Mercury.
There's another one.
Just done.
Go with those two.
Those are brilliant.
Those are only the two.
Ploward Stern.
Ploward Stern works.
Yeah.
Because of Howard Stern.
But maybe there's another Howard that.
Sir Ploward Morrison.
Yes. Because there's done. But maybe there's another Howard that... Sir Ploward Morrison. Yes!
Because of the New Zealand tie there.
That's great.
That works.
Done.
And we don't know what a CMA truck is.
The jury is still out on what a CMA truck is, so...
Concrete mulch aggregate.
CMA is a non-corrosive and is biodegradable.
CMA is acetate-based.
It has a unique performance characteristic.
It'll be just the trunk that they put all the shit in.
It reduces ice formation and snow bonding to the road,
so they put it on beforehand.
Oh, okay, right.
So something goes on before the snow to avoid the snow.
Wow.
Well, I just hope our breather and people move
and get over the crown range.
I can comment on the story.
I'm going to say Sir Ploward Morrison.
Yeah, that's a good one from you. Sir Ploward Morrison. Yeah, that's a good one
from you.
Sir Ploward Morrison.
Well, I mean,
you said Ploward's turn.
I just adopted that.
So it's really Hayley's idea.
No, no, it's not at all.
I planted the seed
and you...
Well, it was a team effort.
Reaped the reward.
I laughed.
So can I
say my name?
Sir Ploward.
No, you're not part of it.
I don't think you did
anything actually.
Yeah, you were very
passive in this.
Nicotine's an interesting thing,
because I always thought smoking,
the part of smoking that was really bad for you
was all the other stuff.
And the fact that it was being delivered to you
in smoke form.
It was always like rocket fuel.
That's what you could say.
There's 10,000 chemicals in this durry.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not great.
The smoke is definitely not good for you.
Yeah, and that's why I thought the deliverable aspect of the smoke,
smoking your lungs isn't great.
Well, no.
They're famously terrible if you're in a house fire.
Is nicotine bad for you?
So that's what I wanted to know about nicotine itself.
As nicotine enters the body, it causes a surge of endorphins.
So far, so good.
Delightful.
Which are the chemicals that help relieve stress and pain and improve mood.
The body quickly absorbs the nicotine into the bloodstream so
it can reach the brain and
then the reward
is short lived. And we want it more and we
get addicted. That's how we get addicted. It also increases
levels of dopamine and neurotransmitter and
part of the brain's reward system creates feeling of
pleasure and reward. So then
you've been like, I
don't feel stressed and now
I've had a little hit.
I feel rewarded.
So what's the addiction part?
The side effects of nicotine is headaches,
changes in blood flow, sleep disturbances,
dizziness, all the bad stuff,
increased blood pressure,
increased risk of blood clotting.
And that's not necessarily delivery through cigarettes.
This is also other ways.
Right.
So that's why you've got to slowly wean yourself off.
Well, big news, Australia are clamping down on vapes.
And it's got kind of everybody in New Zealand kind of like,
oh, okay, is this happening here next?
And it's the first time I've heard the term recreational vape thrown around.
As I would have believed, all vaping was of a recreational.
There's no medicinal vaping.
Yeah, same.
Unless you were using the vaporizing system to take on marijuana.
Marijuana, yeah.
Hashish oil as a painkiller, because then that is medical.
Yeah.
But all other vapes would be recreational.
But there are, like, prescription vapes for people who need to slowly
wean themselves off smoking.
So they go from smoking to a lower and lower amount of nicotine to eventually get off it.
Now, as a non-smoker or a non-vapor, it just seems like the Wild West out there at the
moment.
Oh, I know.
We used to think smoking was good for us, you know, back in the bloody 40s and 50s and
stuff.
Because it was stress relieving.
Yeah.
And like the Great Depression and straight after a horrendous war
people would smoke to relieve the stress
and the PTSD and all
the things that were involved, the financial hardships
and people were like, you feel better after a cigarette. But then
it came to the lungs
and the coughing and the emphysema and the
cancers. So what are Australia doing
exactly? Just saying. They are
aiming to ban all disposable
vapes.
The one-off, your little stickies.
I kind of think it's good because you see those everywhere on the ground.
Yeah, they're the new Nangs.
They're the new Nangs.
They're the new Nangs.
Yeah.
The little silver creamer canisters that you might be thinking,
man, someone around here is whooping a lot of cream.
Well, yeah, but don't.
I'll use those for whipped cream.
Oh, yeah, you're always whipping.
This guy loves a bit of whipped cream.
A Lamington, because I love a Lamington.
Loves a Lamington, he loves a Pavlova.
You've got to do real cream, not that fake stuff.
Yeah, you've got to whip it.
You've got to whip yourself, not whip cream.
Can't use a beater, though.
You've got to use those little nangs.
Yeah, I do feel like a bit of a criminal
when I have to go to the dairy and ask for nangs.
For your whipped cream.
A box of 50 nangs.
A box of 50.
And also, the cream I'm whipping is for a party.
So have you got any balloons?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's it?
It's a birthday.
It's a birthday.
So they want to ban the import of non-prescription vapes
and limit nicotine levels available in vapes,
aiming for the sale of vapes to be confined
to only helping smokers quit smoking.
The lesser of two evils.
Because I didn't know,
but there's different levels of nicotine in the vape.
Correct.
Yeah, you can go super, super low.
Aaron vapes and he's on the lowest amount.
But would that just mean you would vape more?
Yeah, I mean, but the thing with the vapes,
they're so convenient now.
Like, you just sort of toot on them all day long,
a lot of people.
Yes.
Now, what was the stat about?
Because this stat blew my mind about the year 10s.
How old are year 10s?
Year 10s, 14-year-olds.
Second year of high school, traditionally.
So there are more
year, now is this, correct
me if I'm wrong, there are more year 10s
vaping than there are adults vaping.
In Australia.
Percentage wise, yes.
22% of all
Australians aged 18 to 24
used a cigarette or a vaping device at least once
and it was higher for high school
kids who had tried it, had a little tooth.
That's pretty crazy.
Because you do see, when I was at Rainbow's Inn,
there were a couple of little vaping tweens.
Yeah.
Well, you hear about kids vaping.
I remember having a cigarette in the bush
before going to Queen Margaret College when I was 14
with the goths.
They were the high school goths
and I wanted them so badly to let me into the goth circle.
And they were going for a cigarette under the bridge on the walk to school.
And I was like, oh yeah, I'm absolutely gagging for one.
And I went and had a little puffy puffy.
And then coffee coffee.
A little coffee coffee.
Did you take a mouthwash for afterwards?
No, I think I came in and I wanted people to know that I've been through a cigarette.
What about the teachers?
You wanted the teachers to know
you'd smoked a cigarette? Yeah, man.
Authority meant nothing to me, bro. You're a bad girl.
You're a bad girl. You're not a girl.
It never appealed to me, eh? I've always
like, ugh. It's just a real,
yeah, I don't know. It's the scene thing,
isn't it? Depends on what scene you're
in. But they're so accessible
now, the vapes. Oh, they literally, there's a
vape store, more than alcohol stores.
And you can't smell it. It's like, you can just
get away with it. Dairies renamed themselves
like, they used to be called
the, I don't know,
name a random place in New Zealand. I don't want to
throw anybody under the bus. Matakana. Matakana
Dairy.
Creamery and ice creams.
And now it's the Matakana Vape Shop.
I know, you've always got a vape shop. Because they had to put vape in the name to get around.
Oh, okay, right.
It's wild, isn't it?
Yeah, it's crazy, man.
Ashley Madison, is that a website that we have in New Zealand?
It's a website that sort of facilitates affairs.
Yeah, we've talked about it before.
Yeah, you sign up if you want to chase.
Have a little extra marital thing.
Do you know what they call it?
Extra dyadic romantic experiences.
What does dyadic mean?
Infidelity and affairs.
That just makes it sound like it's scientific so you can get away with it.
I was doing a science experiment.
Are you cheating on me?
No, I'm having an extra dyadic romantic experience.
A relational function having an arity of two and logic.
So it's outside of your two.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Well, they conducted a study looking at cheating,
because that's what they facilitate,
and why people do it and sort of how they feel afterwards.
And it was really, really surprising.
This is mostly men.
Found that one of the
biggest findings was that quality
of the relationship that they're in, their
main relationship, say their wife or their
partner, the quality of
that had little impact on
why they chose to cheat. So people
weren't cheating because their
current relationship was suffering or
really bad or that they loved that person
less. In fact they did heaps like questions and surveys with them and they were like, a lot of the
people using Ashley Madison reported a very high level of love for their partner.
Which is wild, right?
It's so wild because you're like, what are you looking for?
If it's not an open, it's different.
We're talking different to like an open relationship.
They are actually cheating.
Yeah, where you say like, oh, I would, you know,
I'd like to go and explore something.
This is like behind the back infidelity.
But they're not out of love with their partner.
Yeah.
They're not unhappy.
And they say that people who commit infidelity,
it doesn't impact the quality of the relationship,
their primary relationship over time either.
And that most people who engaged in a little extra, extra.
Until their partner found out about it.
Exactly.
And immediately degraded the quality of their relationship.
Yeah.
And people who did that, I forgot what I was going to say.
It's gone.
You're okay.
Is it because men, do you think men.
Oh, they have got very little remorse.
Yeah, right.
But men can do that and then be like, well, that's done now.
It's, and then go-
Like you can separate it.
Yeah.
It doesn't actually impact how I feel about you.
There's no emotion in the cheating.
Yeah.
So they're just like, I mean, I'm not making up excuses for them.
No, of course not.
It sounds like I am.
Sounds like you're delivering the speech for the second time.
So even though infidelity is...
It meant nothing to me, baby.
Even though infidelity is the leading cause of divorces,
in spite of that...
I thought it was Playstations.
That's second.
That's a close second.
Estimates say that around one in five married people
will cheat on their partners
Wow
And that rises to one in three
In young adults
In dating relationships
Young adults in dating relationships
Yeah so you do your boyfriend
Not your husband
That's one third
That's a lot
That's a lot eh
A fifth of married people
Are just having a little
A little on the side
I couldn't be bothered
I'd just ask.
What do you mean?
I'd just say to Aaron, like, I like this person.
And do you think he'd be like, sure, go for it? I think he'd rather that than me being on some grungy website
having an extramarital affair and keep hiding it.
But what if he said, I like this person too,
so while you're there, I'll...
I'd be like, why?
What am I...
Finger there, that's there I What have I done?
What have I done?
I'm lucky to have you here this morning
Thank you, I could have died last night
We had the New Zealand premiere
Guardians of the Galaxy
and so I was like, well I'll just quickly eat before I go.
Mints.
You got some mints in the fridge.
Always mints in the fridge.
No, last night I just had a chicken stir fry.
It was real quick.
It was easy.
Was it?
I was like, I can make this quick.
A bit gluggy?
Did you make it in a wok or just a fry?
Yeah, no, I had a wok.
Obviously a wok.
Did you have some pouch goop?
Yeah, pouch goop.
What pouch goop did you get for?
Pouch goop. I did a lemon chicken last night. Yeah, pouch goop. What pouch goop did you get for us? Pouch goop.
I did a lemon chicken last night.
Yeah, beautiful.
And it was divine.
So you've got chicken.
Yep.
No additional lemon.
The lemon is taken care of by the goop.
The lemon is taken care of by the goop.
Oh, very much so.
Took me through your vegetables.
Just frozen because I was in a rush.
What kind of frozen vegetables?
A mix.
A frozen stir-fried mix.
A mixed Chinese.
Carrots.
A mixed Chinese.
Oh, God.
I thought you meant like peas, carrot, corn.
I was like, that is how embarrassing.
No, no, no.
Do you want to borrow some money?
No.
Wait, so.
No, it was one of those like.
Broccoli.
It was like a stir-fry frozen vegetable pack.
Like a bean, a mini corn.
Broccoli.
There was some bean.
Mini corn?
There was some capsicum.
I've had a mini corn for y'all.
Carrots.
Yep, capsicum.
Yep, that's what I said.
What else?
Mushroom
I've added some mushrooms
Oh I don't like mushrooms
You added mushrooms
Yeah I added mushrooms
Anyway
And then I'm like
In a rush
So I'm like
Well I've got
A couple of those
Microwave rices
You know those little
Pottles
Really great for the environment
Yeah
Really good
Every time you're getting
Less than one cup of rice
You are using
A horrendous amount of
Probably non-recyclable plastic.
To be in my defence,
I don't normally buy those.
I'm an Uncle Ben's bag,
but that's too much for one man.
I normally buy a bag and just use half.
I know.
Why do I need that much rice?
What do you do with the half that you don't use?
I just put it back in the fridge
and use it the next time.
I was like, even better for the environment.
But anyway, so I put a minute 20,
I think these can't,
because I don't know because I don't have the packet. So I'm like a minute 20 on the environment. But anyway, so I put minute 20, I think these cut. Because I don't know because I don't have the packet.
So I'm like a minute 20 on the microwave.
Yeah, they're usually 90.
Yeah, 90 seconds.
90 seconds.
But I've got my microwave.
He likes his rice slightly underdone.
No, my microwave's a 1200 watt.
Oh, he's got a big, powerful microwave.
I've got a powerful microwave.
He's got a throbbing microwave.
Sorry.
I'm sorry to flex Sorry I'm sorry to flex
I'm sorry to flex
That my Panasonic microwave
Is a little bit stronger
Than the average microwave
You're really shaming my 900 watt
Yeah
I know
He's only got a
Mine's 900
He's got a 9
I've got a 1200
Anyway so I normally find it's a bit
Anyway
So I like
Press play on the microwave
Press play on the microwave?
Press go?
I think you mean go
Or start
Same thing
No one presses play on the microwave It's in a 1990s V mean go. Go or start. No one presses play on the microwave.
I call it pressing play. It's in a 1990s VCR.
You do pause and record at the same time.
It's exactly from one microwave to another
microwave. I'm steering the walk because, you know, it's all
go in the kitchen. And it sounds all go in the
kitchen. So many things are there. One pot
and one microwave. Boy, this kitchen's
chef! Yes, chef! The microwave's
like beep, beep, beep. It's finished.
I turn around and the rice container is sitting in front of the microwave
and I just press play on the microwave with nothing in it.
Nothing in it.
What happens?
And I was just like, ooh.
Can you microwave?
I pressed open the door and it came open and just like this waft of steam came out.
Superheated air came out.
Superheated air came out and I was just like.
Running a microwave while it's empty may cause damage to the unit.
Oh, not the 1200 watt.
You're going to take that down to a 900.
Not the 1200 watt penny.
I don't think we call the Panasonic's pennies.
I don't think that's a nickname.
But I was like, have you ever done that?
Like that's a real moment.
I was just like, what?
I just microwaved nothing.
Oh, according to...
If you only run your empty microwave for a short amount of time,
fewer than five minutes, you may be fine.
No big deal.
If you run it for a longer amount of time, it will overheat,
maybe burn, and then shut itself off.
How did you forget the rice?
Dunno.
Just got too excited with the timer, I think.
You heard what a crazy all-go.
You heard how crazy my kitchen was all-go.
They were waiting for entrees.
You've got to put the goo pouch in at the perfect moment.
This guy's had a big afternoon of doing nothing with no responsibilities.
The guy that's really got to get out of here
because he's got dinner in eight hours
had had a big afternoon of nothing.
Just because I don't have kids that are so annoying that they need you all the time
to look after them doesn't mean I'm not busy.
Doing what?
Just swimming.
I did do some swimming yesterday.
And the gym, yep.
Very busy day.
Swimming and gym, yeah.
Very busy.
And then I had to get home and make the goo pouch.
Seriously, very stressful and takes a long, long time. So we finish a gym, yeah. Very busy. And then I had to get home and make the goo pouch. Super. Obviously, very
stressful and takes a long, long time. So we finished
work at 9am. You've got to go to the gym
and get ready for dinner.
I've got to get out of here. I've only got nine hours
till I need it. Oh no, nine hours till bedtime because this guy
eats at like 4.30 in the afternoon. Yeah, it was about
four o'clock. You guys are brushing
over the fact that I could have died yesterday in a microwave
explosion incident. Oh, we're grateful you didn't. No doubt.
Thank you. Thank you.
I mean, at least you would have had lots of
time to recover because you do nothing.
Has he ever been injured? Is he getting enough
bed rest? Oh, he had literally zero
obligations. He needs less.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Now,
yesterday, because, you know, we've just spoken about how busy my days are.
Oh my God, packed. Jam-packed.
I want to ask a question now to people listening.
Is there a store that gets you good every time?
Like, you go in for one thing or one or two things,
and then you come out and you've spent way too much money and...
What got you?
The chemist's warehouse.
Oh, yes.
Hell, yeah.
Go in for some bloody zinc.
Yeah, you go in for like some Centrum, some multivitamins,
and you walk out with a basket full of stuff.
Yeah.
There's a mouthwash because that's on special.
Oh, God, yeah.
And then there's other.
There's just everything.
Always something kind of creative and weird, like, you know,
like a sort of head massager that you're like, sure, that looks good.
I'll give that a go.
I always leave with like clips.
Have you ever seen me wear a clip?
No.
I'm a scrunchie girl.
No, I've never seen you wear a clip.
This is what I wanted to ask because there's always those stores that get you good.
Mine's like a Japan mart or a Daiso, you know,
and that's always like you go in for like,
I need a little notepad or something.
And then you're like, I've left with like some weird appliance.
You know why?
It's because the Japanese are so organised.
They're so organised and they always have something for everything.
So if there's a problem like, oh my God,
are your poached eggs too watery?
Here's a poached egg drainer.
And you're like, well, I have to have that.
I didn't know I needed that.
Makes perfect sense though.
We only have a pencil.
Those stores are good for like travel stuff.
So good.
Like little travel signs, bottles and packing dividers.
I mean, I'll often go into Mochi for a t-shirt and leave with a thousand dollars worth of dresses and stuff.
Mine's slightly more niche.
Yeah.
I don't know if many people have heard of the supermarket.
Oh, really?
Okay.
What makes this market so super?
Well, it's got everything, you see.
Food.
Oh.
That's just got food.
Yeah, food.
That's just got food.
That's why supermarkets put the bread and the milk at the very far corner.
Yeah.
You've got to go through it.
You have to walk past everything.
Yeah.
And I think every time it's weird.
Do you hear certain people's voices in your head when you see certain products?
Like what, for example?
I hear a girl I went to high school with in my head every time I walk past the toothbrushes being like,
you should change your toothbrush with the seasons.
She was rich.
Oh.
Well, that's what rich people do.
Yeah, you just go until the bristles are sideways.
I'm like, when did I last get my toothbrush?
Was it summer?
Well, it's bloody winter.
I just do it once my teeth start hitting the plastic
through the end of the brush because it's so splayed.
It's splayed, it's pushed right back.
Yeah, I'm an aggressive toothbrusher.
But then I'll be like, I need a toothbrush.
It's shocking.
I can't go to a supermarket shop.
I can't be trusted.
Okay, I can't be trusted.
You'd be terrible because my brother-in-law just texted
and sang Mitre 10 all the way. Oh, Mitre 10. I mean, that't be trusted. You'd be terrible because my brother-in-law just texted in saying Mitre 10 always.
Oh, Mitre 10.
I mean, that's a given.
Go in for a bloody...
They've literally got bags
at my Mitre 10
that said I only came for nails
but they're like,
that's a really big bag.
Ending with a drop sore
and you're like,
what the hell is this?
Well, this is what I want
to ask people listening now.
What is the store
that gets you real good?
You go in for one item
and you leave with
heaps of stuff
because it's so good. Like the dairy. People love stationary stores. Yeah, go in for one item and you leave with heaps of stuff. Because it's so good.
Like the dairy.
People love stationary stores.
Yeah, go in for a bloody water and you're like, I'll get a protein bar.
A few lollies.
A couple of lollies.
Maybe a flavoured milk of kinds.

For me, it's Kmart.
You go in to buy one thing and then there is like,
oh, this looks nice in my house.
Yeah, hell yes.
And you're like, it's only $2.
I go in for like those three packs of
socks that are like $5 or something.
You end up having to
use Afterpay for everything.
Because you've got a massive trolley load
of stuff.
How much is this?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We shouldn't be.
Impulse shopping and Afterpaying it.
Lydia, thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
The stores you go into for one thing,
but they get you good.
Somebody said hunting and fishing.
Oh, yeah.
Went in to buy a $20 box of ammunition
and came out with a new rifle.
Jeepers.
That'll happen.
That'll happen.
No, no.
Ammunition's a fat load of good without a rifle.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Probably both.
Kmart. Lots of Kmart, yeah. Ammunition's a fat load of good without a rifle. Well, yeah, exactly. Probably both. Kmart.
Lots of Kmart, yeah.
Deadliest store.
I go in to get a jumper and some shoes for the kids.
$600 later, it's lethal.
$600?
They know what they're doing.
You've bought, like, a workout machine, a new bedding.
You've got to redesign your whole kitchen.
Yep.
Keeping it coming through.
You're talking about the stores you go into for one thing,
but they get you good.
And you just leave with arms full of stuff.
Briscoes has got to be another one.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You're like, I need a fresh set of steamers,
and then suddenly...
The cutlery's half price.
Yeah, the cutlery's half price.
Oh, well, maybe I'll get some new utensils.
I need new towels and also a vacuum cleaner.
Belinda, what store gets you good?
Mine's more of a service that the nail salon.
I like go in for a basic beige colour
and I walk out with a treatment that I didn't need.
Yes, and like a pomade that I didn't ask for
and then like they tell me.
Yeah, they get you good.
You've got to have sold your silly goose.
Yeah, and then you've got like glitter nail art on
that's like tacky and doesn't go with anything in your wardrobe.
You're like, how did this happen?
It happened to me.
Yeah, and all of a sudden my $40 nail appointment's $520
and I don't like them.
Yeah, and I have to go to another salon to get them removed
and done again.
But every time this happens, you've just got to be strong.
It's a trap.
It's a trap.
I know, but I feel guilty.
I'm like, oh, yes, they're really brittle.
Yeah, yeah, put that on.
That sounds good.
Well, they see you coming.
Belinda, thanks for your call.
Addie, what store gets you good?
The Kmart for me.
Again, so many Kmarts.
Many reports.
Is there a particular area that absolutely juices the bank account?
The container area.
Organising is just my thing.
Yes, it's like how you say you love Japan, Ma.
Like, it's the organisation.
Organising, yeah.
It's sexy, eh?
But how many trays?
How much organising stuff do you need?
Surely after a couple of trips, you're taken care of.
Got to do the bathrooms and the bedrooms.
Yeah, because you think you're done,
and then you're like, well, I haven't organised.
There's so much left to organise.
Addie, thanks.
You call a couple of messages to finish.
Posty Plus.
Oh, okay.
Someone said you go in.
Yeah.
You go in for one thing.
Yeah.
You never walk out with one thing.
Nah, they get you.
Posty Plus, okay.
Many, many Kmart stores.
Many, many reports of Mitre 10.
Someone said my partner went into Mitre 10.
She said she was just going to be a minute.
An hour later and after the dog had shat in the car.
I see her trundling out a huge trolley full of plants.
Oh, yeah, the plant shop.
Yeah.
Going in for a fertilizer.
And just so many people say in the supermarket. And they know, they know, They've spent decades perfecting the maze you have to get through to get the essentials.
Yeah.
We need to put our blinkers on.
And we need to only spend what we need to spend.
Oh, listen to how the sound has changed when I put my hands up beside my face.
That's quite cool.
It's like we're in a tunnel.
A little bit tunneling.
It's like we're in a tunnel.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to our bunker.
You guys are also blocking your noses.
You don't need to do that.
You just need to put your hands around your mouth.
Why are you blocking your noses? Because we't need to do that. You just need to put your hands around your mouth. Why are you blocking your noses?
His new album is out soon, the 19th of May.
He plays Auckland's Spark Arena the 18th of July.
The next day at Wellington's TSB Arena, the 19th of July.
And here he is.
Lewis, good morning.
Hello, good morning, good afternoon and good night.
How are you, darling?
I, you know, just passing, getting by.
Yeah, I was like, that's a really big question in general.
It is, it is.
We're an open, honest workplace here and we can share our feelings.
We can do a little session if you want or. Well, I'll open up to you guys.
I'll spread my butt apart. Who knows?
Spread your butt apart?
We got straight in there, didn't we?
That's the problem. We're going to need a proctologist.
If that's what's got them worried.
Got them on edge today. How are you?
Good. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
I'm fine. Don't need a proctologist
or a session or anything. Absolutely
creaming along. Creaming along.
I'll say, creaming along.
I don't know about that.
Where I've had a cup of coffee, and that makes me quite jittery, Lewis.
I'm the same.
I get quite anxious after a cup of coffee.
Me too.
So why did you drink it, Hayley?
Well, I know, because I actually said to these guys,
I actually did a whoopsie-doodle-dandy and forgot my anxiety medication
for three days, and I wasn't allowed a coffee,
and then I ordered a coffee, and I've had that,
and now I'm actually pounding off the walls.
What do you have? You don't have to tell me this. I'm an anti-anxiety medication taker myself.
What are you hitting up these days? Let's get into it. Oh, mine's just a classic little
citalopram. I don't know what the key ingredient is of that. You know, it's just a little.
I'm a sertraline boy myself. Zoloft, I believe the Americans call it.
Yeah, beautiful.
Yeah, I'm actually weaning off them just now.
I'm going to go to Turkey because of the brains apps.
Yeah, it was a mistake, Lois.
I've made a terrible mistake.
You've joined us on Dr. Hayley and Lucy's discussion
of what antipsychotic medications, I believe they're called.
I don't know that for sure.
I know, I know. But good stuff. Well't know that for sure. I know, I know.
But good stuff. Well, keep on taking them. Well, do you know what? This is one of the things
I love about you is how often you talk about it. I'm pretty
similar myself. Nothing to be embarrassed about
being medicated for things that absolutely
can crush your life. I mean, you're very honest
about that. Is that a conscious thing for you
that you share that or are you a bit like me
and you share everything?
I share everything, I think.
But for me, I really had to get ahead of it
because especially the Sertrain thing
because it made me,
and I don't know if you're allowed to talk about this
in the morning, this early in the morning on the radio,
but I was struggling to achieve climax, I'll say,
and it never came down.
So I, to the female population
out there to let them know
if I happen across you
and something happens
it's not your fault
it's all me
I didn't know that was a possible side effect
so many mental health medications
antidepressants, antipsychotics
anti-anxiety, anything
total killers of the mood.
They are.
They're mood hoovers.
Wow.
Have you noticed, Lewis, like since,
because I watched your documentary, which was amazing.
I just loved it.
And it was very raw and open as well as being, you know,
about your incredible music, which we will talk about.
We have a very deep sort of Dr. Phil.
Have you noticed like a response from that in terms of your openness
about your mental health struggles?
Yeah, I think so.
People have been coming up to me
and being very kind
and very nice.
There are some people
who are coming up to me
and being like,
oh, like what advice do you have
for someone who's going through
some mental health problems?
And I'm like,
I am the last person
you should be asking
at the moment.
I now not only have panic attacks
on the regular,
I now can't get a stiffy to save
my life.
Don't ask me for advice
on that one but
it's been lovely. People have really
there's been this sort of openness with
people and I was pissed about it at first
because I didn't really, when I set
well I say when I set out to make a documentary
when the documentary was presented to me as an idea,
we were supposed to be going on this big tour
and playing these amazing, massive shows
and living a really cool life.
And then it sort of became, obviously COVID happened.
There was this pandemic.
Anyone tuning in who's three years old,
there was a pandemic that happened.
Yeah, yeah, no, it was, it became quite,
it became a lot more about me, my life, my family
than I was expecting it to.
I was kind of expecting it to be a sort of, like, pat on the back,
my life's amazing sort of thing.
But I'm happy with it.
I'm really happy people now feel that...
And I guess it gives people this sort of understanding
of where I'm coming from.
Like, if I...
Not that I've ever done this, but, like,
if I was to cancel a show, just in case the insurance people i won't do that i won't do that if i was to cancel a show because
i was like having panic attacks or whatever i feel like people would kind of be like a lot more
understanding so it's like this because of the documentary because of they've really seen it
firsthand so um because you did you did say at some point you know like the the pressure of fame
was almost so overwhelming that you were like, I can't do music.
Like, I don't think I'm going to be able to tour or make new music.
But luckily, there is new music and you're coming to visit us.
I'm going to happen across the country of New Zealand.
Wow.
I've got a boyfriend, but I mean, you can happen across some of my friends.
I can hook you up.
I just mean the country itself.
I'm not going to be an individual, but I'm going to leave a can hook you up. I just mean the country itself. There won't be any individual, but
I'm going to leave a mark on you all.
That's what I was hoping.
No, I'm excited. It's going to be great. It's been
four years? No.
Do you know what? New Zealand was one of the last places
I did a show, because I was in January
2020. Three years, actually, since I've been
there, but I'm excited. The shows were
incredible. Lewis wasn't our patient.
Zero was, eh? He might have.
Kofta. I don't
think so. Not for...
So let's talk about the new album
because it's out in a couple of weeks.
Was it last week you had...
Did you have Chad Kroger from Nickelback on stage?
Are there any duets?
Any collabs in the new album?
Oh, no, nothing.
No one wanted to.
But now that I am, I don't know, maybe next time.
But just to go back to the Chad Kroger thing,
mental, right?
Do you know what the best thing about him was as well?
He came on and was like, Andrew was standing,
and we were like, we'll do Rockstar.
We'll do a version of Chorus of Rockstar.
And then he got up there, and I don't know if he had a few beers or whatever, but he was like,
as soon as he got up there, hadn't rehearsed this,
he was like, let's do another one! And I was like,
mental, but like...
He loved it! He loved being
back in front of the screaming crowd!
He was so up for it. He was such a
legend. But no, the
album does not have
any new,
any collabs or anything of that nature.
You and Chad and Lizzo should do like a little trio song
because Lizzo is also a big Chad Kruger fan, as we all are.
Oh, unbelievable.
And yeah, I would love it.
She can do everything and me and Chad will stand side of the stage
and just play the guitars.
Yeah, you'll do the
doo-wop do-woody-doos.
We'll do the thick 30.
We'll just do like... Do the backup.
Do the Lizzo backup. I would love
to hear you and Chad saying
thick 30. Yeah.
We'll just be, we'll be providing
support for
Lizzo to shine. You're also touring with
Noah Cyrus who we also love,
coming to Spark Arena in Auckland in July 18.
Have you been a fan of her music?
You could do a little collab together
if you could be sharing the same stage.
I'd imagine we will.
Well, I hope so.
That's me being so presumptuous that she would want to.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Noah's.
I think she's incredible.
It was one of these things where
the opportunity came up to ask her.
Because that's the thing with touring.
You get like, okay, you're allowed to ask this person.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like a weird reaching out to someone random.
It's like through agents and stuff like that.
It was very thingy.
But yeah, no, I'm a huge fan and I can't wait to have her come on.
Listen, also, she really helped us shift a few tickets as well.
So Noah, thanks.
I really
doubt that you struggle
to sell tickets. Everyone loves you.
Do you request anything in your dressing
room? Do we need to have anything
there backstage for you? Oh yeah.
We don't have anything backstage
because there's catering
and I've got a problem
with
indulging.
Yep, we all have a problem to have.
Yes, we're all familiar with indulgence.
Well, coming to Auckland and Wellington,
the 18th and 19th of July.
The album is out in a couple of weeks on May 19.
Lewis Capaldi, thank you so much.
We'll see you in July.
Thank you, guys.
Speaking of Honest and Open,
I've been rehearsing my stand-up comedy show,
which opens Tuesday next week.
Didn't I just get up there and just tell us
a bunch of different stories every night?
Yeah, I know, I know.
It's all off the cuff.
It's all off the cuff.
I've just been practising walking on,
you know, the kind of mic technique I want to use.
Stopping for a brief drink of water.
Oh, water breaks and that kind of stuff.
Are you going to be sitting on a stool?
God, no, I wouldn't have the audacity.
I did a stand-up comedy gig last week
and everyone was standing up
and then the last guy headlined
who's a big UK comedian.
Marcus, is he Mick Bird or Mick?
Marcus. Wigglebott Bird or Mick? Marcus.
Wigglebottom.
Bird.
Marcus.
Birdman.
Marcus Birdman.
The eighth.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
He sat on a stool and I was like, wow, that's brave.
Is that a big thing in comedy?
Oh, it's just so like comfortable.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
You know, it's so like you're on my time.
Anyway, so I've been hiring this space in the middle of town,
which is kind of connected to a theatre, but it's very like isolated.
It used to be this dingy thing, but they've done it up
and they hire it out for cheap.
Wait, so you are in this room all by yourself telling jokes?
Yeah, well, I've had like some people come in and whatnot,
but yesterday I was on my own.
We haven't been invited, have we?
Well, I don't want to spoil it for you.
I quite like jokes.
Yeah.
Well, I'm happy to give you a private performance.
Don't want one now.
No, I want to wait for the crowd.
Be your private dancer.
Feels like it's a pity invite now.
Yeah, it does.
All right, well, screw you.
Anyway, so I was rehearsing yesterday,
and in this place, because yesterday was so muggy,
I was like profoundly sweaty,
and I was wearing, what pants was I wearing?
I was wearing a pair of pants that, let's be honest, fit last year.
I don't know why I put them on yesterday,
but as soon as I got to the place, I was like, oof,
and I unbuttoned and unzipped them and I was like, great.
Typing away at my laptop and I was up doing little things
and I could not get the air con going.
And this place is like a little windowless building.
There's like some windows along the end, but you're up really high.
So I was like, I'll just whip my pants off.
What are the rules of this performance space?
You could be practicing for something completely different,
some pants-less performance, some sort of interpretive dance.
Yeah, dance for an artist.
You're totally.
This isn't a compulsory pants area.
And I've hired it.
I've got the code for it.
So no one's going to come in.
There's no one.
It's not like you literally have to go up a stairwell
and put in a code in the door and then you're immediately come in. There's no, it's not like, you literally have to go up a stairwell and put in a code in
the door and then you're immediately in it.
What's the code?
Three, oh, do you have a pen and paper?
I can remember it.
It's 3333.
Cool.
No, it's not.
Anyway, so I whipped my pants off and I felt so much better.
So here I was in a room alone in my top.
Talking to yourself.
Talking to myself.
I've got a microphone plugged into a PA system
because you've got to practice the microphone.
When you say you're joking, no one laughs.
What are you just like, imagine people are laughing.
I'm imagining rapturous laughter.
Okay.
I am anticipating just side splitting.
I mean, the show's going to double in length when we add in the laughs.
I don't know what to do about it.
So I'll be like, guys, guys, we've got to get through the content.
Please, please, please.
You know, I whip my pants off and I felt so much cooler,
like better shoes off, pants off.
It's my happy place.
And then I was like, you know when something sort of passes
your periphery and you're like, huh.
Ghosts.
Sometimes ghosts.
You know my stance on that.
But it wasn't.
And I sort of looked over to the side and I could see this like the top of a head like passing this window.
And I'm up like two stories.
But then I forget that the theatre next to it, Kew Theatre, has stairways up to the back.
And if you were walking up, you could see into this thing.
And I was like, oh, I wonder if sort of like moving head had seen me and I was like
surely not and then like I sort of like
leant forward as they passed a window
break and then they got to the next
window break and we connected eyes and I was like
hello sir
so what they did see this
this lady in a dark room
literally staring at a mirror
because I had a mirror in front of me so I could
see yeah just talking around just in my undies and like the biggest undies you could ever imagine I love my On her own. Literally staring at a mirror, because I had a mirror in front of me so I could see.
Yeah, just talking around.
It was just in my undies.
And like the biggest undies you could ever imagine.
I love my big undies.
Yeah.
See, there's nothing sexy about it. There was nothing sexy about it.
It was called Hayley Sproul in granny panties.
In granny panties.
Yeah, it stars in granny panties.
So this poor guy.
How did you know who this person was?
No, no, no.
He didn't.
He wasn't part of the theatre community that I know.
He's just sort of a youngish dude.
Fellow.
Yeah.
Who would have seen me in me granny panties doing comedy to no one.
Any youngish dudes see you in your knickers yesterday, Fletch?
No.
I was just.
No one?
Not at the gym or anything?
No.
No one saw me.
Any young dudes see you in your undies?
No one saw me. I was reminded that one in your undies? No one saw me.
I was reminded that one of Indy's friends was over
because I had a shower.
It was so muggy.
It was insanely muggy.
Before going to the Guardians of the Galaxy
and I was like, where are my pants?
And I walked out saying that and Shado's like,
Indy has a friend here!
And that was lucky because that would have been
Dad in his undies walking down the hallway.
Yeah, that's not a shame.
Play Zed-N's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day, again, about plurals.
Okay, why are you on this plural?
I'm on a plural buzz.
No, I saw this and I thought people often like it.
Oh, who was that?
That was me.
Well, don't check it.
It was, um, no, it's fine.
It was about plurals because yesterday we learned many are correct.
When you pluralise an animal that ends with S, it can be an octopi, it can be an octopedes.
Yeah, it can be a lot.
It depends what language it originated and if it went through Latin.
And in English, you're just like, ta-da-da-da.
This better be a sexy fact of the day about plurals to have two in a row.
Yeah, I'm wanting sexy.
Yeah.
What is the plural of fish?
Fishers.
Fishies. Fishies. Yeah. What is the plural of fish? Fishes. Fishes.
Fishes.
Yeah.
Fishes.
The correct plural of fish is fish.
If you were talking about... Oh, no, there's plenty of fish in the sea.
There's plenty of...
It should actually be there's plenty of fishes in the sea.
Really?
Because the plural for fish only counts if they're the same type of fish.
So if you saw a whole lot of snapper,
one snapper or eight snappers would be those fish there.
But the minute a gurnard gets involved,
it becomes fishes because there's a plural,
but it's a different type of fish.
When I'm consoling a friend that's just broken up with someone
and I say there's plenty of fish in the sea,
I only imagine gurnard.
You only imagine gurnard?
Yeah.
Yeah, she's a real gurnard girl.
She's a gurnard girl.
She's a gurnard girl. She's a gurnard girl.
But maybe that's why she keeps getting her heart broken.
She's going to try some snapper.
She should go for a big John Dory, a big mouth John Dory.
Oh, yeah.
Or a little snapper.
Yeah.
Maybe she needs to go for a snapper because the gurnards are continually breaking her heart.
Okay.
So there are plenty more fishes in the sea.
I think that would actually be correct because there are different types of heart. Okay. So there are plenty more fishes in the sea. Would actually be correct because there are different types of fish.
Okay.
If it's just a singular type of fish, the plural of fish is fish.
But the minute different species of fish get involved,
fishes become plural.
How many fish did you catch?
How many fish?
I caught 14 fishes.
Wow.
That sounds wrong.
But it wouldn't be if you had caught a variety of fish.
I think of a fisher as a small graze or cut.
A fisher.
That's a fisher.
That's a fisher.
So then I thought, what if that applies to fish?
Does it apply to sheep?
As you would say, the sheep out there,
it could be six sheep.
It's not sheep.
But what if it's different sorts of sheep?
No, there's only one sheep. What if there's a merino and a romney? There's a whole lot of different sorts of sheep out there. They could be six sheep. It's not sheeps. But what if it's different sorts of sheep? No, there's only one sheep.
What if there's a merino
and a romney
and there's a whole lot
of different sorts of sheep
out there?
They're different sheeps.
Yeah, different breeds of sheep.
No, there's some
that are only sheep.
Some have a black face.
Some are black
and some of them are white.
Yeah, that's a South Suffolk.
Some are brown.
I don't know what
the brown ones are called
but South Suffolk
are the white ones
with the black heads.
Yeah, some of them
are golden retrievers. Some of them are chocolate labs.
You would say, but the only correct accepted plural of sheep is sheep.
Right.
But fishes is fishes.
That's crazy.
The minute it becomes more than one species of fish, you would say fishes.
Right.
And it would be a correct plural.
Drop this next time you go fishing.
Say, oh, we caught 14 fishes.
No more plural facts of the day this week.
That's a great fact
But it's a good fact
But no more tomorrow
No more fact-o-pities please
Anybody's got any great plural facts
They can point you in the direction
Mix it up please
I like when we get a little bit of a theme
Remember the paint run
We do remember it
The paint run was pretty great
Three facts about paint
About paint in a row
They said it couldn't be done
It was a stretch They said it couldn't row. They said it couldn't be done. It was a stretch.
They said it couldn't be done.
It was a stretch.
They said it couldn't be done.
But he did it.
But he did it.
Today's fact of the day.
They said it couldn't be done.
They said it couldn't be done.
But he did it.
Stop.
But he did it.
Don't encourage him.
They said it couldn't be done.
They said it couldn't be done.
But he did it.
What did he do? But he did it. Don't encourage him. No, they said it couldn't be done. They said it couldn't be done. But he did it. What did he do?
But he did it.
Don't encourage him.
No, they said it couldn't be done.
We don't have time.
They said it couldn't be done.
But he did it.
Today's fact of the day is that the minute that you pluralise fish into different species,
fishes is an acceptable plural.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yesterday, I was saying, I was rehearsing my show.
It opens in less than a week.
If you can get tickets, go have a look, but you probably can't.
Because it's so popular.
It's popular or unpopular.
All the space is quite small.
Yeah, and it's actually got an asbestos problem,
so you can't sit in that half because it's where it's flaking.
There's like, I think there's like eight seats a night.
It looks like it's 180, but it's like eight.
Eight are available.
But I'm in that, I'm just in the grittiness of like getting a show up.
And I just, it's like stressful.
I'm in like high stress mode.
There's a few finishing details and I hate doing that stuff.
I like the big sort of part of it.
So I would sit down and work for maybe
like 45 minutes and then like procrastinate and do
something else like dance and take off
my pants if you were listening earlier.
And then at one point I was like, well I have to go.
I simply have to go up
to the rock shop to get a
harmonica holder. The rock shop
is a fun shop to have a look
around. Yeah, I love the rock shop. I don't think
I mean I've always gone past it. You should pop in for a look. Any sort of musical instrument store is a fun shop to have a look around. Yeah, I love the rock shop. I don't think, I mean, I've always gone past it.
No, you should pop in
for a look.
Any sort of musical
instrument store
is pretty fun
to just have a little bit
of a look at.
You don't play an instrument.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
You can pick it up
and make noise out of it.
I can still appreciate them
or be like,
whoa,
when something's like
thousands of dollars.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Well,
I went up to the rock shop.
I got a harmonica holder.
Don't know how to play the harmonica, so that's...
At least you don't have to hold it.
At least now I don't have to hold it.
Exactly, it's hands-free.
And I was like, what's this for?
I was like, I don't know.
I was panicking.
I was stressed, panicked.
I was like, I need this thing.
So I beamed up, rock shop, got that.
And then I saw a convenience store and I was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I need.
Because I need like some stimulants when I'm feeling stressed.
I always need like constant stimulation.
Like junk food.
Yeah, yeah.
So I went into the convenience store and I was like, well, I haven't had a lot of water today.
So maybe I could find some kind of hydrolite sort of thing.
And I left the convenience store with an almond peanut slab.
Yum.
A nerd's rope.
Yum.
Which I love,
a chuppa chup,
and a
iced coffee nippies.
Oh yeah, okay. That's a good purchase.
Yeah, and then I had to
shove them into my pockets and my armpits and scoop back
down to the theatre and I saw some theatre friends there
and they're like, what have you got? And I was like,
oh, I've just got, and then I realised how
like, what a stress purchase it was,
like an absolute panic purchase to have, like, milk and nerds
and chocolate and a choppa chop.
And I was like, I know so many people do this.
When you're under stress, you just, like, crumble
and the way you eat changes.
So I thought we could take some calls of, like,
what is your stress food?
Similar food if you're, like, breaking up with someone
or you've broken up with someone.
Yeah, like, you know, like when you can't function or something
so you just have cereal for three meals a day for seven days a week
and you're like, well, I guess I'm made of flakes now.
You know, made of cornflakes.
Or maybe you're the opposite and when you're stressed
and procrastinating and really need to do something,
instead you do like a three-hour slow roast, you know,
with like gourmet potatoes or something. Oh, no, like a three-hour slow roast, you know, with like gourmet potatoes.
Oh, no.
Because you're like trying to like.
No one's doing a slow roast on their stress.
It's mostly junk food, right?
Yeah, I know.
Okay.
So you want to hear from people right now.
I certainly do.
0800 DARS at M, text through 9696.
What food do they go to?
Yeah, your go-to stress eat.
Maybe it's junk food like me or maybe you've just got something a bit weird that you're like,
whenever I'm panicking, I've got to have me.
I was going to say Maltesers,
but then I'll eat those even when I'm not stressed.
When you're happy.
Even when I'm happy.
It's a happy food, a sad food, a stressed food.
Yeah, it's an everything food.
It's a breakfast food.
Yeah.
No, I want those sort of things that you just know that you'll like fall back on
when you're really stressed out.
When you're in that mood.
You're talking about the foods that you go to when you're stress eating.
You're stressed.
Maybe you've just had a breakup.
Or if you're like me and you're just busy and so you walk into a dairy
and you think, I think I need a milk-based product.
That's always me.
I'm always like, I think I need a milky thing.
And a chocolate slat.
And a chocolate and some lollies.
Yeah, yeah.
How good's a nerd right?
I had no idea that there was so much stress eating.
I don't think I,
I don't think I've got
a specific thing I stress eat.
I'll just,
I don't know.
No, but you stress drink.
I just drink.
Whereas other people,
it keeps the stress at bay.
Whereas other people's coping mechanism
is just a nice food.
Or a bad food.
Yeah.
Like a weird food.
Becky, what is your stress eat?
It's a very controversial one.
It is a filleted fish burger with chippies in the car.
That is not controversial.
That is a go-to.
I love the Filet-O-Fish.
You're a big ambassador of the FOE.
I'm McDonald's official ambassador for the Filet-O-Fish.
Whereas I would stress eat a quarter pounder combo and some nugs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yum.
I would stress eat the drive-thru operator.
Hey, Becky, next time you go in there, add lettuce.
Yeah, trust me, mate.
No.
Trust me, babe.
Add lettuce.
I mean, they are like freshly made.
The lettuce would just be going on there before you've got it.
Add nugs.
So fresh and so clean.
Yeah, and add nugs.
Matt, what's your stress-eating food?
Top of the morning.
Top of the morning.
My stress-eating food is peanut butter cups.
The Reese's one.
Oh, yeah.
I like the white ones.
You can get a white one too, parallel.
Is it Reese's or Reese's?
Reese's. Well, Reese's. Please
forgive me. No, I'm not saying Reese's.
No, no, no. I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong.
Reese's Pieces. I thought it was Reese's Pieces.
Yeah, it is. I think there's no Reese's.
Oh, I'm with you, Matt. I say Reese's.
I say Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
It's Reese's. I don't know what they
put in them. They're like my
cocaine, but they're really hard to snort.
It's crack. It's really hard to snort. It's crack. It's crack, yeah.
Really hard to snort
but I have got a life back.
He's tried by the sounds of things
and he's got a very peanut buttery nostril.
Couldn't breathe.
They are delicious though.
100% agree with those.
I haven't had one in ages
and now I'm going to have to get one today.
Right now I'm talking about
the stress foods that you go to.
Can I also,
because my one yesterday,
part of my one yesterday was a Nerd Rope
shrinkflation, guys. Nerd Ropes used to
be like that, right? Like a foot and a half.
Yeah, 30 centimetres. You're looking at
a ruler, a standard size ruler. Oh my god,
they've shrinkflated me.
Unbelievable. Let's go to Amanda
first. Amanda, what is your go-to
stress-eating food?
Mine are those ginger kisses that you get in the bakery section,
like sort of down the end of the bread aisle.
In the supermarket, yeah.
In the supermarket.
I've demolished a lot of those in my time.
But do you know what I found out?
There's margarine in them.
No.
I think the icing's mine.
It is, yeah.
Because I Googled.
I didn't know that.
You just ruined her life.
You have ruined her life.
So what is it?
It's like a whipped butter.
I'm pretty sure it it's a little whipped butter
It's the fourth ingredient
In ginger kisses
I just googled
No Amanda
Just stay true
If you like them
You like them
I mean they're delicious
I like them
And normally by the time
I get home
I've already eaten
Half the packet
Yeah exactly
Well it's because
They're so fluffy
Yeah
Like if you actually
Squished them all up
It would only be one cake
Oh basically
Yeah that's right
Basically one cake Amanda thanks You can also yeah. Yeah, basically one cake.
Amanda, thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
This one sounds really yum.
Thai chilli Doritos with a pickle on each chip.
Yum.
A pickle.
Trapping a pickle on board.
I never even thought about that.
I'm a pickle and I'm on the chip now.
I'm on the chip.
I'm in your mouth now.
And now I'm yum, yum, yum, yum, yum in your belly.
You've got to eat that chip quick before it soaks into the...
Quick chip.
Oh, quick chip. Oh, you put the, yum, yum in your belly. You've got to eat that chip quick before it soaks into the... Quick chip. Oh, quick chip.
Oh, you put the pickle on the way in.
Yeah, because you don't want your structural integrity weakened by the water,
the pickle water, pickle juice.
Yeah, you've got to fresh on.
I'd flick the pickle.
I'd flick the...
I would flick the pickle just to get the excess saliva.
Oh, yeah, pre-flick.
The pickle juice off the pickle.
Not on my carpet.
If we're having a fun scene.
You're going to rip that up anyway.
I'll do it at the,
when are you getting rid of the,
when are you getting a new lounge suite?
This one's covered in pickle juice.
Stress Eat is a tip-top ginger crunch ice cream
with bluebird chicken flavoured chips.
Now, are they dipping the chip in the ice cream?
That's madness.
That's foul. That's foul.
That's madness.
Ginger Crunch ice cream.
Isn't that just hokey pokey?
What's Ginger Crunch ice cream?
I don't know. Ginger Crunch.
No, no, no.
It's like gingery.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know they had one.
Can't bring back all the gumdrops,
but they can make that bullshit.
Baking cakes.
I get crazy.
I bake cakes.
I made two the other day when I was a little bit stressed.
I had a piece, and then I freaked out.
I was like, oh, no, oh, no, I'm going to eat the whole thing.
So I had to like immediately do an emergency cake delivery to my family.
Yeah.
I love that.
That's good for you.
Raisins.
I have a jar of raisins in my cupboard and when I stress, I get little handfuls.
How restrained.
How restrained.
How restrained.
I'll polish off a bottle of raisin juice as well.
It's generally sort of a pinot noir raisin juice
Oh I love it
I was going to say a tawny port
Yeah that's what we call
Yeah raisin juice is tawny port
I love raisin juice
It's more of a raisin syrup
Yeah
A tawny port
Raisin concentrate
Spag bol
Really?
Because it's so simple and easy to make
You don't have to think about it
You don't even have to follow a recipe.
And then eating it is just pure comfort.
Yeah, true.
Good, okay.
Somebody said junk food, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Donuts, but the deal is you have to eat them inside out when you're stressed.
How do you eat them inside out?
How do you get inside?
So I imagine you get the donut and you tongue the hole in the donut and then start tearing.
That's inside out, right?
What about if you just kind of put the whole thing and turned it?
It's still a donut because it's still around.
You would put your tongue in the middle and start.
Do you make a hole, an initial heart to break the circle
and then eat from the inside?
Or do you fold it in half and then eat the inside?
Or are they talking about a cream donut?
They might be talking about a cream donut. How would you eat a cream donut? You would lick out the inside. Chew around. Or do you fold it in half and then eat the inside? Or are they talking about a cream donut? They might be talking
about a cream donut.
How would you eat
a cream donut?
You would lick out the cream
and then turn it inside out.
Do that and then lick out
and then get the cherry bit.
So kind of pull it apart.
Pull it apart a little bit.
Clear out the cream.
Yeah, right.
Eat the cherry.
Yeah.
Take time with that
and then eat the bun.
And then finish it off.
Finish off however you want.
I reckon we've got to go.
I reckon we've got to go.
That was pretty borderline.
