The Fletchbourne and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fletchbourne and Hayley, two minutes past six.
Hawke's Bay.
Hawke's Bay, you naughty, naughty Hawke's Bay.
Very naughty.
Rugby team.
I know.
Breaking the Ranfurly Shield.
That's a big deal, the Ranfurly Shield.
So what, they want a caretaker.
This would be someone
with the shield
who would be with it 24-7.
So in the changing rooms.
I mean,
I know there's a lot of history there,
but it just seems ridiculous
that adults can't be trusted
with a trophy.
Yeah.
Because it was, oopsie, it got dropped on the floor
and we were all like, bullshit.
We know rugby players.
We all know young, jacked up alpha males.
Some help the back of the victory.
Who wins the Rand Philly shit?
Like, what kind of rugby is it?
It's regional.
Yeah, regional.
Yeah, so it's not.
The NPC plays for it now.
It's not super rugby.
Yeah, yeah.
And not every... For some reason, I thought it was high schools so it's not. The NPC plays for it now. It's not super rugby. Yeah, yeah.
And not every... For some reason I thought it was high schools.
It's not.
Nah, they've got multiple ones around there.
There is one for high school all over New Zealand,
but there's also regional high school ones.
So somebody also drove their car into a fence
and got done drink driving.
It's quite a wild celebration by the sound of things.
But there were some lines
In a photo spotted on the Ranfurly Shield
And we're going to deal with this
In the top six
White powder
On all the news stories
It was like a unknown white powder
Well I've got the top six white powders
That could have been on the Ranfurly Shield
Let's not rush judgement
They could have been anything
Could have been just Ritalin
For the ADHD sufferers Exactly I don, it could have been just Ritalin for the ADHD sufferers.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I don't care how you
take your Ritalin.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, exactly.
I mean, I'd probably
take an Impel form
just for...
I mean, generally
that's how ADHD
sufferers take it.
You shouldn't be railing.
I don't know if you
rail your Ritalin.
At that time of night
you'll be up all night.
I've got the top six powders
that could have been
on the Radfuli Shield soon.
Your chance to win some cash this morning again at 8 o'clock with our Cash Catcher.
Make sure you listen out for the Activated just before the news at 8 o'clock.
Next on the show.
Christmas is coming.
We're all thinking about what we're eating for Christmas,
but one woman doesn't have to think about it.
She's prepared.
This is the mankiest story of the year.
It's manki to me.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
I don't know why, I'm not against freezing food.
In fact, I think it's, especially in a time like this
with the cost of living being so high,
sometimes it's smart.
You see a bug and you've got to freeze it.
Yeah.
But there's a woman who prepares for Christmas lunch or dinner.
Yeah.
From Boxing Day.
Right.
She does this.
So here's her freezer so far.
It's all in like blue bags.
She's just come off the end of a Christmas.
What does she want to start thinking about the next Christmas for?
The next day.
So she doesn't have to think about the next Christmas on Christmas.
But she's got 364 other days to think about.
I know.
So she doesn't do all of it on Boxing Day.
She does like parts of it.
Right.
So what she does is she goes on Boxing Day
and she gets a whole bunch of like deals on Christmas decorations,
Christmas gifts for the next year,
Christmas food like Christmas mints, pies and all that kind of stuff.
And freezes them.
Which is all heavily discounted the next day
and freezes them for a year.
And then throughout the year she does things.
So she like peels potatoes and freezes them.
She has all of her veg ready and done by September
so that on the day all she's doing is reheating Christmas food.
Yuck.
All the meatballs she has with sweet and sour sauce, that's frozen.
Meatballs with sweet and sour sauce on Christmas.
Interesting.
I love sweet and sour meatballs.
Yeah, same.
I've never had sweet and sour meatballs.
It was a patsy classic.
It's not a...
With pasta.
It's not a Christmas with pasta.
Sweet and sour with meatballs with spaghetti.
And a traditional tomato sauce. You've mixed three dishes there. I know. Sweet and sour with meatballs with spaghetti and a traditional tomato sauce.
You've mixed
three dishes there.
Sweet and sour chicken.
Patsy would make
a sweet and sour meatballs
with normal spaghetti pasta.
Was it a Maggi packet thing?
No, no, it wasn't
because she's given me
the recipe before.
Were they beef meatballs?
Beef meatballs.
Pineapple.
I mean, she was a very busy
LJ Hawker real estate agent
in the 90s.
She was out there
flipping houses.
If I put all my effort
into preparing you
a post-school charcuterie board,
I wouldn't be bothered
cooking a full meal.
Oh, no.
I also got a cooked dinner.
A full cooked dinner.
Oh, no.
A whole meal.
She's second to none.
So she's already done red cabbage.
Her apples are peeled.
But the stuff she's freezing right after Christmas,
like on Boxing Day, that's not going to last.
No.
Even Christmas mince pies are not going to last.
You look when you get a freezer,
it'll tell you how long things can be in the freezer.
Yeah.
Not a lot of things are 12 months.
No.
So apparently she was inspired by a Mary Berry
who is one of the judges on the Great British Bake Off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Legendary British chef.
Yeah, a legend.
She wrote a book in the 70s, it looks like, just from looking at it, called Freezing for Christmas.
And it's all about getting prepared.
And so this woman who follows this book said that she reckons she spends half of what normal people would spend on a Christmas.
She's got a big family, so she's like.
Yeah, right.
I don't have money to just spray around on Christmas Day.
She's got a YouTube and an Instagram if you want to follow her.
No.
Right, no.
Good, thanks.
I just want fresh food of any day of the year.
It's Christmas.
Yeah.
I want fresh, delicious food.
What if you forget to get something out on the 22nd
and you get it on the 23rd
and it hasn't defrosted properly?
Oh, I know.
You can just tell
when something's been reheated.
She makes mackerel pate
and freezes it
and then,
no, you don't defrost pate.
It's a no.
Fish paste.
Sounds like a gross Christmas.
Yeah.
No, I don't want to go
to her Christmas.
11 past six.
Next on the show.
I will tell you
while big penises,
why big,
I'm a little flustered,
why big penises
are overrated.
Okay.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Um,
how big's your penis?
Come on.
I knew you should have
taken this story.
Let's do a whoop around the room.
How big is your penis?
How big is Aaron's penis?
Mine's very, like, average to slightly on the smaller side of things.
I knew you should have taken this story.
You should have taken the lead on this story.
We left it to him.
Does the job.
This side penis story, if I may.
I'm playing a game.
What?
I think you should tell people
why we're discussing this.
No, no, I'm playing a game
called Baldur's Gate 3.
Right.
Now, I won't stay on it for too long.
It's a Dungeons and Dragons based game.
Oh, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You get to decide.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
This could have been a fun,
exciting article about penises.
It's penis related.
It's penis related.
I'll bring you back with some penises.
There is a stat, what, that 76% of women believe that large penises are overrated.
I was going to get to that.
You can't serve them the main without giving them a little entree.
You've lost so many people now with Dungeons and Dragons.
You've got to build your character at the start.
My penis is getting smaller with you talking about Dungeons and Dragons.
You've got to build your character at the start.
Right down to the penis.
You have to pick what kind of genitals
you can give them. Really?
Because they can be anything. They can be non-binary.
They can be anything. A very
diverse world. The world of D&D.
But can you choose the size of their penis? Yes, you can.
So I was choosing my dragonborns.
He looks like a dragon.
Wouldn't all men just be like, mercy!
No, but that was the thing. I was picking his penis and I was like, well...
You've got to think about aerodynamics.
Yeah, you do.
That's in the way.
If it's a dragon.
If you're running.
Yeah.
It's fapping about.
It's fapping about because I don't know what undies are like in the world of D&D,
but I picked a small penis yesterday because the kids are away on holiday.
Too small.
I know you can undress the characters.
So I was just playing and I was like, hey, check this out.
And I said to Shade, and I was like, this is my guy.
She's like, oh, God, he's got a small penis, isn't he?
Because I undressed the other characters.
There's a couple of characters in there with massive wangs.
Right, okay.
And she's like, you gave him, and I said, yeah, I gave him that penis.
She said, why did you give him a small penis?
I was like, ah.
Just to make me feel better.
Just to make me feel better.
There's other people rocking around there.
Yeah, okay.
Also, interestingly enough,
men's penises have grown by a quarter in the past 30 years.
I know.
I remember reading about this.
Because this stat was out of Australia, right?
Where they asked women, they were like, what do you think?
Is it like one of the most important things?
And yes, 76% of respondees said big penises are over-related.
Over-related? Over-related? Don't say related. Especially big penises are over related over over over related
don't say related
big penises that you're related to
yeah
super overrated
she said they were overrated
there's a line
well there's a
underneath the penis there is a line
there's a
there's a line they're not Yeah. There's a lion.
They're not all that.
Where it gets to a point, what do you mean the lion?
It gets to a point where it's just too.
It's not comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
You know, you've got to.
And everybody's lion's different.
Yeah, totally.
Tell you who loves a big penis, the gays.
Which is weird because.
Tide of chasm.
No, that's what I'm saying.
It's a small area.
Are we in trouble today?
I think it's 18 past six, already in trouble.
Well, you are.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Still waiting on an answer from this guy.
Next on the show, the top six.
Yeah, the top six.
Oh, man, if we'll get in trouble already,
we're in real trouble next.
The top six powders that could have been on the Ranfelli shelf.
I mean, we're not as much trouble as the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union.
No, not at all.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley from the Panoramic ZM Think Tank.
This is the top six.
Hello.
Hello.
To everybody.
Except the person that broke the Redfellowship.
How?
Like yesterday, on Sunday night when it was like,
Hawks Bay, congratulations, you've won the Redfellowship
and I think keep it for summer.
Because you've got to defend the Redfellowship at home, right?
Yes, away games don't count.
Away games don't count.
So they've got an away game against Bay of Plenty,
but it doesn't count because it's not for the Ranfelli,
which is good because they broke it.
Now, last night on the news,
they had the guy on that made it
because this is the original Ranfelli shield,
like legendarily old.
And so this year they were like,
actually, let's get another one made
that can go around
because this one's kind of reached this status.
Scotty Stevenson called it on the news last night.
Toanga, like a treasure.
It's been around for so long.
And Scotty Stevenson was very emotional
on the news last night about it.
Was he?
Oh, yes.
Oh, big rugby man, big fan of history.
Yeah.
So a guy made another one.
Now that old fellow was on the news last night
and he was really like,
bloody kids.
He stopped himself just short of saying that.
He's like, this wood, the grain that we use and everything,
just would not break.
Like something astronomical has happened to that shield.
Really?
He's like, it's strong wood.
And he's like, the part was picked because it was strong.
So the photo that was of the shield in half with the
mysterious lines on it.
That was the one that went around second. The first one that
went around was just a guy with the shield and
someone was kind of laughing, which they found
insulting. The second photo that
surfaced was a Snapchat because it had the
words across it
in a text box. But that was in one of our group chats
on Sunday night, wasn't it? Yeah, so they started doing the
rounds. Yeah.
And it had some lines of white powder on it and it rolled up summer summit.
And it was only a matter of time before that hit the news headlines and boy, it didn't take long.
So.
What is that mysterious powder that everyone just kept calling a mystery white powder?
Well, these are the top six powders that could have been on the Ranfeli Shield.
Number six, Colour Free Raro.
You need your electrolytes after a game?
You do.
Yeah, you do. You need to bring them back a game? You do. Yeah, you do.
You need to bring them back up. A good hit of fast carbohydrates.
Yeah. That's the stuff. And they might have
just mixed the Raro on the shield
and some fell out the side of the jug and went round the bottom
of the jug and that's what looks like a lime. You know what, actually, that's
probably it. I reckon that's it.
It could also be number five on the list of the top
six powders that were on the Ranfurly Shield.
Talcum powder. Yes. Helps with
the post-game chafe. Oh, yeah.
Have a shower. Yeah. Talc the balls.
Yep. And there could be a bit of talc.
Thighs. Oh, they... Get thighs.
Pop the talc on the shield and the powder
settled in that line around the base of the talcum bottle.
So I thought, is Producer Jared still talc-ing
the balls every morning? Oh, yeah.
Because, you know, they did have that multi-
bajillion dollar claim against talcum
powder. Nah, cost of living hit pretty hard.
Oh, no.
So you just roar as anything down there.
Just roar.
Oh, my God.
Carlin's upset that we said this.
Someone's got a birthday coming up.
Yeah, that's true.
A big 3-0.
Yeah, right.
He's going to be 30.
Should we chip in for a talc?
Let's get him a matching talc body wash comp.
When you were a kid, did you have crossbones?
Yes. Yes, I remember crossbones. They're little kits. Yeah you were a kid, did you have crossbones? Yes.
Yes, I remember crossbones.
They're little kits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They were for young men.
Yeah.
It was before Lynx.
It was before Lynx.
Okay.
You'd get crossbones, and it was talcum powder, body wash,
and like an aftershave.
Maybe we could give him a Lynx body wash pack with talc.
I'll look up some talcum good packs.
Oh, well, let's not spoil it.
Let's not spoil it.
Yeah, let's not. Keep it spoil it. It's not December yet.
Number four on the list of the top six
white powders that could have been on the Radfriley Shield.
Chalk. I've seen it at the gym.
People put it on their hands for a little extra grip.
They could lift things.
They could have just been lifting
and then as they put their hands down, two
incredibly formed lines
just happened to appear. Cup, cup your hand, look.
Line there, line there.
Yeah.
That's what it was.
That's what it was.
Like that.
Yeah.
That could totally be it.
Number three on the list
of the top six white powders
that could have been
on the Ranfelli Shield,
cornflower.
Yeah.
They could have been
trying to make some oobleck.
Could have been
trying to make oobleck.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Do you know what, guys?
When you just put your finger
in it slowly, it's liquid,
but if you tap it,
it's like a hard thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's like a Newtonian liquid.
Because that's what I'd imagine a lot of rugby players
want to talk about after a big game.
Yeah, Newtonian liquids.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six powders
that could have been on the Ranfelli Shield.
Milk powder.
Times are tough.
Milk's expensive.
Yeah.
Powdered milk.
It tastes the same.
Lasts for longer.
Yeah.
Can take it anywhere.
I could have a powdered milk at uni.
It's the only way I could keep up.
Yeah, I always had powdered milk.
I don't know why.
You didn't do it too for Dairydale.
No, I didn't.
Okay, interesting.
Yeah.
Powdered milk just reminds me of lambing season
where you'd have to mix up,
or calving season,
you'd have to mix up some powdered milk.
Big powdered milk.
Yeah.
And number one on the list of the top six powders
that could have been on the Ranfula Shield.
I've never heard of this one, but I googled what is this white powder.
Yeah.
Cocaine?
Cocaine, yeah.
Cocaine.
Cocaine.
Cocaine.
Yeah.
I've never heard of it. Yeah. Nah. Never heard of it. Cocaina. Cocaina. Cocaina. Yeah. I've never heard of it.
Yeah.
Nah.
Never heard of it.
Sounds Mexican.
Oh.
Don't know if you can say that.
Anyway, I'm going to go and do some more research on what this.
Yeah.
Cocaina.
And again, good luck to the Hawke's Bay.
Is it Hawke's Bay?
Yeah.
Hawke's Bay comms team today.
Yeah.
That's probably just someone fresh out of uni who just wanted a job.
Oh, no.
And they're probably also in charge of their social media, their comms, their PR, their advertising,
and dealing with all the sponsors.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Man, good luck to you today.
Tis the school holidays at the moment.
Roads are quiet.
I'm enjoying that.
I went to the mall yesterday.
Not enjoying that. Didn't enjoy that.
Yeah.
So take the good with the bad.
It's also the school holidays in Australia.
And this comes from New South Wales, which is your Sydney.
Yeah.
Your Sydney region.
Yeah.
The health authorities in New South Wales have issued a warning
after the school holidays have led to a spike
in children suffering burns from instant noodles.
I'm talking your mega rings.
I'm talking your two minute, your magis.
Is this because mum and dad aren't home
Mum and dad aren't home
Or there's a babysitter
And you make your own noodles
You've got to fend for yourself
Or just
Your parents are just like
Make your own bloody noodles
You're old enough
Wow
Oh my god
So I would have thought
It would have been like
Maybe they'd make it in a pot
Yeah
Because we used to make it in a pot
Rather than just pouring hot water on it
But you just also could microwave them
Do your microwave
I always ended up microwaving them because it was easier.
I never ate it.
I just never ate two-minute noodles as a kid.
Yeah, but you went to a private school,
and your mum would make you a charcuterie board after school every day.
Exactly.
I'd much prefer that.
Beautiful, sliced, fine cheeses from France.
The truffle egg fried rice.
Oh, my God, the truffle cheese.
It was delightful on an Oaty cracker.
Delicious.
The rest of us
didn't have that, Hayley.
My mum used to peel
my mandarins for me
and have small segments
across the board.
Lovely.
Now, the most common injuries
that they're experiencing,
because I would have thought
there would have been
like water from the pot
when they're pouring
into the bowl,
are injuries to the thighs
or genital areas
after they've rested
a scalding bowl of noodles on their laps.
This is why.
What, they say it?
Like, my parents said it before me.
Would you eat that at the table, please?
Yes.
Eat that at the bench.
When I see my kids carrying, like, a cereal from the kitchen to the lounge,
I'm like, back into the kitchen.
Not on the carpeted area.
Yeah.
Because you're going to spill that.
They still think they can get away with that. Taking it into the lounge. Not on the carpeted area. Yeah. Because you're going to spill that. I still think they can get away with that.
Taking it into the lounge.
Holy goddamn row units.
So cheeky.
Yeah.
So someone from the burns unit.
Yeah.
This is terrible.
Has said that boiling water in a hot noodle container, you know, the ones you'd pour it
into the actual cup.
Yeah.
Can take an hour to cool down to a safe temperature after cooking.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Whereas like you just boil it, put it in,
and then be like.
And then so they're sitting on the couch
and it's spilling onto them
and they're getting third degree burns.
Yeah.
And they're saying they can cause long lasting injuries
and lifelong scarring.
People are getting that burnt by this.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So they're just saying don't, don't do it.
And if you're going to do it with boiling water,
just don't make it that hot
it doesn't need to be that hot
yeah
or just microwave
but I guess
you must be talking about
the in the cup ones
right
where you just add water
yeah
that's what I had for dinner
last night
and I just turned the
I just turned the
jug off early
yeah
sad eh
well so you've kind of
done it opposite
to how Vaughn and I did it.
When your mum's not around,
you have to make your own noodles.
Yeah. You have to fend for yourself, you go noodles.
Yeah. Right, okay.
I'd go crazy
if my parents weren't around, though. They'd come home
and we would have, like, microwaved the
frosted steak. Yes!
And then, like, pan-fried it,
not knowing. Great.
Yeah.
On a low heat.
Which is why I'd turn tomato sauce over.
I never went steak or meat.
I'd always just make icing or eat jelly crystals.
You would make icing.
I'd do a loaf of bread.
Just bread.
While we're waiting for our steak to cook,
and sometimes we would let it cook for about an hour,
we would have a scoop full of raro waiting.
Yum.
Yes.
Into the mouth and just like.
God, the weird stuff we ate, hey?
Yeah.
I used to do microwaved bread, like bread with cheese.
With cheese, yes.
And microwave it and the bottom would be wet.
And the crust would be like.
Yeah, yeah.
Ew, yuck.
But yum though, hey?
Yum though.
Yeah.
Play. ZDM's F? Yum though? Yeah. Play.
ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughan 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.
Today's silly little pole.
I'm just looking at the x-ray and like surgical procedure pictures of leg lengthening.
It's becoming more and more popular.
I feel like I'm reading more articles about particularly men.
Yeah.
Most always men getting leg lengthening surgeries.
Jefferson Cosio from Colombia.
Colombia.
Acquired four inches in height from a painful limb lengthening surgery.
Yeah, because I've heard it's really painful.
Yeah.
Because they basically, what, extend your leg bones?
Yeah.
They break them and then put an extension in them, right?
It's not worth it.
Two years ago, I had an issue with my legs,
and I don't really want to talk about it because it's very personal,
he said to his 10.9 million Instagram followers.
I don't want to talk about it.
It's very personal to 10 million people.
There was a lot of speculation and conspiracy type theories,
which I don't really care for, but one of the things
that had the most impact on me was to do with
leg stretching. I looked into it, met
some people and found that yes, it exists. It got
into my head that that was something I wanted to do.
Your skin would, you'd get quite,
you'd get a lot of stretch marks, wouldn't you?
What about the skin? I never thought of the skin.
Over the course of a day.
And the muscle would stretch so it would be small, like thinner.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh, just don't bother, you know.
We stan a short king.
This is what we asked for silly little poll.
Like, if you could pay, would you do it?
Would you get surgery to become taller?
6% of people said yes.
Small, small amount of people.
And 94% said no way.
So, just to
clarify, I was just reading this,
so they put in a rod that's
extendable, and they extend it an inch
over the course of, you know, extend,
extend, extend. So they don't just go in
and rip your leg apart. No, so they're jacking
you up. It's a torture device. They're torturing
your leg over a period of
a few years. This is making me feel queasy.
Yeah, it sounds painful.
It does.
Get some platform shoes.
You're not on earth for that long a time, really.
You don't want to be given years of it to not being able to walk around
probably because of the stretchy legs.
I want longer legs, says Courtney, so I'm guessing she must have said yes.
Okay.
She wants longer legs.
Yes, so do I.
Brett said,
I love being a short king.
Also plays well into the golden retriever
boyfriend narrative.
Yeah, great.
Okay.
We love a golden retriever.
Does he ride his golden retriever?
Yeah.
Into battle.
Like that fox on the labyrinth.
I imagine he's riding
his golden retriever
around the dog park
and just picking up chicks.
Yes.
Yeehaw.
Hey, you want to hop on? Oh no, that's too much for a golden retriever. Just put park and just picking up chicks. Yes. Yeehaw. Hey, you want to hop on?
Oh, no, that's too much for a golden retriever.
Just put on the back.
Yeah, not two, people.
Just one.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Oh, I've got it wrong, have I?
I mean, no, you're golden retriever loads.
Yeah.
Small, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny foxes.
Right.
Yeah.
And a far off land ruled by the Goblin King.
Sam said, I'm a short king and economy is like first class, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm on board with that.
So, yeah, because my kids can do the sky couch.
Yeah.
I can't do the sky couch.
Oh, my God.
You'd be able to do the sky couch.
You'd be able to do the sky couch if you were short enough.
Yeah.
Have a little snooze back there in economy.
Julie says, yeah, if it was free and painless.
Well, that's not our question, Julie.
Our question was, would you pay for it?
And apparently, very painful.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's like saying, would you skydive?
Yes, as long as there was absolutely zero chance of death.
Yeah.
You know, there's risks in life, Julie.
Hannah says, not worth the pain at all.
Yeah.
Speaking from experience?
Do you think Hannah's
had the
I don't think many people
in New Zealand
would have this
no
as long as it was safe
I'm just shy
of 1 metre 60
and I'd love to see
slash reach
the higher shelves
let me just get
a little step ladder
get one of those
pincer
pincer things
it's weird in a century
where we're metric
but all of my height
that I'm familiar with
is foot in inches.
160, so she's that tall.
That's not even short. That's not even short for
a lad. I could put my chin
on your head.
I've seen shorter.
Kevin says, I'm 6'3", but if I
had an ungodly amount of money, I'd consider
going to a solid 6'6".
What? He'd go higher.
No. Being 6'6 is not good. It's not fun. 6'4 is What? He'd go higher. No.
Being 6'6 is not good.
It's not fun.
It's on,
6'4 is about,
that would be my maximum.
6'6,
you can't buy pants in a store.
Yeah.
And you're ducking
through doorways.
And you can't fit
in a plane seat.
Yeah.
Now, Kevin,
you'd be happy
with what you've got there.
You've been given
six foot three inches
of God's gift.
God, that's a good height.
It's a great height, Kevin.
That's a hot height. Yeah, it's just under 6'4. It's easily over a good height. It's a great height, Kevin. That's a hot height.
Yeah, it's just under 6'4".
It's easily over 6'.
No one's going to look at Kevin
and be like,
that guy's under 6'.
Yeah.
No, no.
Gemma said,
I'm 5'0",
and just a few more inches
would really help
with clothing lengths, etc.
But also,
only if it was pain-free and cheap.
But that's, again,
that's not the question.
It's not.
It's more if you had the money.
Yeah. Yeah. That's not from the Gemma not though it's more if you had the money yeah
yeah
that's not from the Gemma Rhino
who's just about 5 foot as well
Gemma's short
not all of them
do you know any tall Gemmas
Gemma
McCaw
McCaw she's tall
Gemma Chan the actor
she looks tall
but that might be deceiving
I don't know a lot of Gemmas
to be honest
I think you'd be surprised
at how many Gemmas
you know
yeah you'd know a lot of Gemmas
I'd have to think
yeah there's a lot out there.
Have a think.
Ah, that is, say a little pop.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, the 1st of October, I didn't know, but it was National Coffee Day.
Oh, good morning to our coffee drinker listeners.
Happy National Coffee Drinker.
Remember when you didn't drink coffee?
Well, I still kind of don't, but every now and then in the sort of second half of the year,
I've been having a little
coffee, but I couldn't possibly have
more than, say,
like three a week.
That's mild.
That's a low-level.
I wouldn't even say I'm a coffee drinker.
Espresso martinis?
Actually, yeah, I'd probably drink quite a few a year.
Yeah, when you add up your espresso
martinis. Yeah, that's added my numbers up.
Well, they did some research, and this is based on Americans,
but the average American, and I thought this was quite,
this made me think about how much coffee I drink.
The average American drinks 460 cups of coffee every year.
I think they're writing that like, oh, my God, that's so much coffee.
That's like one and a half, one and a third a day.
Yeah.
But we're like, pfft.
Three?
I'm three a day.
You're three a day?
At the weekends, maybe two, maybe three.
I have more on the weekends.
Do you?
I think so.
Oh, because, yeah, nah, probably not because I have three a day.
I have two here and then one at home.
And then one in the afternoon.
Yeah.
You have one in the afternoon.
Why would you do that?
About three o'clock, I have a cup of tea and a bed.
A cup of coffee.
Yeah, I just, I've got to find my afternoon energy.
But you won't, does it impact your sleep?
No.
I sleep better on the tail end of a coffee than I do if I don't.
Oh, interesting.
And your mum, and we've talked about this many times.
My mum has a coffee before she goes to bed
and then complains that she hasn't had a very good sleep.
So South Africans that I know, apparently, that's a big South African thing to have a coffee before she goes to bed and then complains that she hasn't had a very good sleep. So South Africans that I know, apparently that's a big South African thing to have a coffee before bed.
Is it?
Well, some people it doesn't even touch the sides, does it?
Yeah.
So three a day, which is like, there'd be the odd day I'd go over, but there's also the odd day I wouldn't do it.
That's $1,095 a year.
Or like if we go to the diner down the road, they do bottomless coffee.
And you'll have three in about 20 minutes.
Yeah. And then you've have three in about 20 minutes.
Yeah, and then you've already had like two at work.
Yeah.
So that's like five.
You're having five in one day.
Yeah, true.
But haven't they worked out that it's not bad for you, right?
Coffee. I don't think so.
It's an addiction, but you get addicted to it,
but you're addicted to something that's not particularly bad for you.
Out of all the addictions, it's low down, right?
And so according to this research-
Is it a bubble below meth?
It's just under meth.
Simmering.
They interchange.
Oh, okay.
One or the other.
Meth, Siggy's coffee.
Right.
Right.
Chocolate.
Who would his booze fit in there?
Right, it's up there as well.
It's at the bottom.
So as well as finding out that the average American
drinks 460 cups of coffee a year,
they also found that for 81% of people that responded,
getting up out of bed is what motivates them for that coffee.
Getting that coffee gets them out of bed.
That's what they get out of bed for.
That's what they get out of bed for.
Helps you poop as well if you want a morning poop.
Keeps you regular.
Yeah.
I remember when I, I think I tried being a coffee drinker
when I was at university.
And that's when I also was a smoker.
Right.
And I'd wake up and be like,
oh, coffee and a cig.
Wouldn't finish it.
I'd have to abandon it.
Abandon the coffee.
Run to the toilet.
What about the cig?
Oh, just take that inside.
You got two bowel cleaners there.
Because people who smoke cigarettes
reckon that morning cigarette gets them going.
Yeah, I know.
Relaxes everything.
Yeah.
Someone said four adults in our house and we all drink seven plus coffees a day each.
Seven.
That's a lot.
That is a lot.
Are they sleeping at all?
No.
That's a lot.
I don't think so.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
There's an Airbnb host.
She has a two-story house in Miami.
Go Miami, hey?
Nice.
Miami.
And it houses 15 people.
And it's basically set up to be a party house.
She's got a dance room with lights and stripper poles.
Because normally you have to lie on Airbnb and say,
oh, it's just a really quiet weekend with really well...
Catch up with old friends.
Yeah, it is a hen's do, but it's just high tea
and there's four of us.
It's got pool tables, a wine cellar.
It's set up for the good life.
Yeah, nice.
So lots of party groups hire this house.
And then this woman, Juliana
is her name, not Guiliana
has been
sharing on her TikTok the weird
things that her guests leave behind.
There's all sorts. I mean, there's a lot of junk and a lot of people
like trashing the house, half-eaten
cakes, ice cube
tray with rosebud shaped ice
moulds,
an exercise hula hoop that would vibrate
and you get a little like this.
Quite a few penis cups.
Oh, yeah, so hens do.
Hens do.
So you've got a few, sort of a number of those.
A lot of like hats with bride on it
and sashes and that kind of stuff.
A deck of Uno cards, massive bong.
Big old bong. Wow, okay. Biggest bong big old bong
wow okay
biggest bong
I've ever seen
do you think
purchased locally
and then just like
purchased for a gag
and then it's too big
to take home
leave it there
to be safe on the plane
yeah
look at this thing
it's huge
it's massive
uh
what else she got
she gets a lot of
unconsumed alcohol
which she keeps
including bottles
of verve clico a lot of unconsumed alcohol, which she keeps, including bottles of Verve Clicquot, a lot of champagne,
but anything that's even been cracked at the seal,
she has to tip down the sink.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to say, would you take like a half a bottle of Votties?
No.
No, you'd have to get rid of it.
Only unopened.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
It just feels like they might have laced it with something.
There's a couple of like cleaners or maybe other Airbnb owners
that have gone viral for all the food they get that people leave in Airbnb.
Yeah.
So she says anything that's in the fridge goes in the bin,
but a lot of people leave dry ingredients.
They've got all the intentions of cooking while they're there,
and then they just don't, like pastas and flowers and all that kind of stuff.
She keeps those.
A floor baby booster
was found in the rubble
of a hen's doo. Like, you know,
those little ones you put them in and they wheel around
little babies and stuff.
She was like, oh, I hate to think.
A pair of false eyelashes
neatly stuck side by side to the wall
next to the bed.
While they were sleeping.
Oh my god.
Like, peeled them off. Someone wanted to put those on in the morning. Oh my God. And like peeled them off.
Yeah.
She says a lot of it she keeps.
Once she found a pair of Christian Dior sunglasses,
she kept those,
and a Marc Jacobs handbag worth $1,000.
Oh, wow.
And she said she even like reached out to the person
and was like, hey, you left this year.
And the person was like, just have it.
Just have it.
Just have it. What a hangover, right? If the person was like, just have it. Just have it. Just have it. What a hangover
if you're like, I just
can't. Just have it.
I'd better go to the airport. You keep this.
A lot of what you read out was hens,
not stags. If you
owned a party Airbnb, would you
rather have a hens do or
a stag do?
Is neither an option.
No, you have to have one. Hens.
Hens.
They're more likely to clean up afterwards.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, you're right.
Less likely to be so
aggressive. Broken chairs.
It'll just be like a wipe-up
mess. And a lot of penis
stuff. Yeah. A lot of penis stuff.
A lot of dick straws.

A man in the UK has discovered a price glitch, which feels pretty good.
I love that.
Yeah, I love that.
It happens very rarely these days.
If it does happen at the supermarket, it's always the old price, not the special price.
Yes.
And you're always like, I swear these avocados are a dollar cheaper.
And then you're like.
If you bring it up, they'll honour it.
But yeah.
It's a lot of effort.
It's a lot of effort.
Yeah.
So this fellow is at the Sainsbury's using the self-serve checkout.
And he scans a 10 pack of Peronis.
Now, these are supposed to be 11 pounds of the nectar card,
but after he scans through his nectar card, it drops to six pounds.
So he's like, well, that's half price.
Well, that shouldn't be.
That's way too cheap for beers.
I'll go get more beers.
And you just say Peronis.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
That's about a dollar a beer.
Yeah, that's pretty good, isn't it?
New Zealand price at a dollar a beer.
So he goes back and he gets more. He ends up buying 540 cans of beer. Yeah, that's pretty good, isn't it? New Zealand price at a dollar a beer. So he goes back and he gets more.
He ends up buying 540
cans of beer. So
54 10 packs. Cans to Peroni's coming
to you. Yeah, because that's what I thought was weird
but then I'm looking at a picture now and it is. It's a Peroni
in a can. Odd.
Peroni's a bottle.
It's a great tap
beer. Is it?
It's on tap at a pub. It's a great tap beer. Light it? Yeah, it is. If it's on tap at a pub, it's a great tap
beer. Light.
I'm more of a raspberry cruiser on tap kind
of guy, you know? Yeah, same.
That's ridiculous.
Do you do your beer? Do you stop being silly?
I'm on a mudshake on tap,
you know? I've never even seen a mudshake on
tap. Sometimes you'll see
something on tap and you'll say, you have
no business being on tap. Like, I know there's pals on tap in places. You're like, no, no, no, no'll say You have no business being on tap
Like I know there's pals on tap
In places
You're like
No no no
You got no business being on tap
An espresso martini's on tap
No no no
No no no
It's a no no no
They're cack
Rubbish
Make me one
Yeah
Yeah
Not on tap
So he's like
Well I'm gonna do it
And so he did it
And nobody pulled him
Nobody ever pulled him up on it
Did he do like several trips back or did he just go straight back
while he was there and he was like, well, I better take advantage of this price.
Well, I think he got to the car and then he was just like,
he called his mate and his mate's like, it sounds like a great deal.
And they came down and they sorted it out.
So yeah, he said, I've got a bar at home, so this is great.
And then there's a picture of how many boxes he's got
and it's all over his bar.
So he's going to need to find somewhere to stack those.
And has the supermarket come out and said,
oh, we got that price wrong, gives us our beer back?
Nope.
Oh, okay.
Sweet then.
Sweet.
Nope.
Sainsbury's haven't said anything about it.
I would imagine they just changed the price back.
Yeah, I'd take advantage of that.
Hell yeah, I would too.
They must have cleaned them out though.
Yeah, because they don't have pallets of it, do they?
They have to be a big Sainsbury's. So they might have some more out the back, but they're not going to have it all out, though. Yeah, because they don't have pallets of it, do they? They have to be a big Sainsbury's.
So they might have some more out the back,
but they're not going to have it all out in the front.
And then if you ask them to go get more from out the back,
you're really going to raise their attention to it.
So we were wondering if you've ever had a price error in your phone.
Maybe it came to an online checkout and you put in the code
and they'd done the code.
Oh, yes.
All wrong.
And it gave you some horrific, not horrific because it's good for you,
horrific for them, discount on the product.
Oh, the poor supermarkets.
Oh, I know.
I don't feel so happy.
I feel terrible for them.
They're going to run into loss that year probably.
Other businesses.
It's probably more likely to happen to smaller businesses.
I know.
I'd feel bad if it was a small business.
I probably wouldn't.
I say that now.
But when there was a price glitch and you were just like, I'll take it.
I love when someone puts something on a $1 reserve on Trade Me Light.
Yes.
And this will cause a firestorm.
And then for some reason it just doesn't hit the...
Yeah, they don't get the views.
Yeah.
And someone swoops in and they have to sell it for a dollar.
That's when the other person starts up, the person selling starts up a second Trade Me account
and starts putting it against you.
And you can tell it is because it's a brand new Trade Me account.
Yeah, 100%.
You know, we should talk about this soon.
Hayley's purchased something from Trade Me.
That'll fit.
I think what we should do is put up a photo now on Instagram
of your car and the chair that you've purchased,
and then we do a poll.
Will this fit in a Mazda 3?
Because I don't think it will.
I don't think it's going to fit.
You're going to drive 45 minutes.
It's not going to fit.
It's just an awkward shape and size in your cars.
You've got such a thin car, babes.
Yeah, you do.
You've got a skinny car.
Thank you.
We'll get into this soon.
But right now, we want to know when you've had a price error in your favour.
A man in the UK went to a supermarket
and the beer scanned at half
the price, which was an error.
And so he was like, well, I'm going to buy
500 cans,
as you do. I would.
100%. I would too.
Let's take some calls. Jess,
when did you get a price glitch in your favour?
Shopping
online at Bras and Things,
I got a bra that was $180 for free.
Oh, my God.
How?
Just because they hadn't put the price in right.
Yeah, I just put, like, the cheapest bras,
like, lowest to highest,
and it says $0 down from $180,
and I thought nothing was going to show up,
and it was my favourite bra.
Wow.
Jess, this comes purely from a financial standpoint.
Did it make your breasts look $180 better?
I've never felt hotter.
Yeah.
See?
Yeah.
So when that one's kind of done,
do you think you'll buy it again in that brand for the full price?
No.
No.
She's had a free woe to pay.
Exactly, exactly.
Hard to justify.
Amazing.
Thanks, Nicole.
Lily, you're on the other side of this.
You actually worked at a place
where your workmate stuffed up the price.
Yeah, so we used to do our own signs through mail merge
and she didn't quite correct the price on the ticket and was
selling a brand new Bosch
oven for $314.
Oh my gosh. Oh, those are like
thousands of dollars. Bosch.
Bosch. Bosch darling.
He came in and I thought, cool, got a customer
and he was like, I'll take that one.
And I thought, oh my God.
And we had to honour it because
that's what... Oh my God, you do. You. And we had to honour it because that's what- Oh my God, you do?
You do, you have to honour the advertised price.
Yeah.
300, what did the boss say about this?
So he wasn't very happy, obviously,
but we had a big meeting afterwards
and then we had to get like double checking done
on all our signs that we were printing
and had to get somebody else to go through them.
But yeah, no, he got a good score that day.
Oh my God.
Oh, that guy would have been stoked.
Because how much was it normally from $300 to what?
It was probably around, I think it was like maybe four, four and a half.
And we had marked it down.
So yeah, so we used to mark them down to like, if it was like on a big special to like just
above kind of cost.
And then, yeah, this guy got it for cost minus.
It's very costly, but he boshed it up, didn't he?
Yeah, but he boshed it.
I bet he's cooked a few roasts
and every time he cooks a roast, he thinks,
300 bucks.
300 bucks, mate.
So good.
Lily, thank you.
Some messages in.
Our local countdown had a display of Carlsberg beer
and the sign said $12.99 for a dozen.
And I was like, that's cheap.
And that was the price for the six-pack,
but they'd accidentally put it out for the 12-pack as well.
Must honour, must honour.
Must honour.
Bought 15 boxes.
Yes.
I bought six bottles of G.H. Mume.
Oh, yeah, yeah, Mume.
For $35 each account, and they scanned it 70,
but I got the manager and showed him the price label,
and they had to honour it.
Oh, my God, yes. They do, they've got the manager and showed him the price label and they had to honor it. Oh my God.
Yeah.
They do.
They've got to honor.
Grabbed another couple of boxes.
Yeah, so did I.
My friend told me that the warehouse had a listed price of Samsung S10s for $100 instead
of $1,100.
I bought three of them and soon after they removed it from their website, had an email
saying they would honor it.
They would honor it because they had it listed their website, had an email saying they would honour it. They would honour it
because they had it listed at that price and
friends and me ended up
with multiple latest smartphones and
we sold the other ones for profit.
Literally $1,000 profit each.
Wow. At Countdown
in Cambridge a few years ago,
I got a whole beef
eye fillet, so the whole fillet
for $2.79. Oh my God. It was so huge. I got a whole beef eye fillet, so the whole fillet, for $2.79.
Oh, my God.
It was so huge.
I made a lovely large beef wellington.
The lady at the checkout said,
congratulations on profiting from the epic muck up in butchery.
Yeah.
I wasn't even looking at it.
But when I saw $2.79, I was like, oh, let's go.
Was it meant to be like $26 or something?
Yeah.
Oh, here's one for you guys.
Ordered cocktails at a bar on one of those QR scanning apps. Fancy espresso martinis, not on tap. Yeah. Oh, here's one for you guys. Ordered cocktails at a bar on one of those QR scanning apps.
Fancy espresso martinis,
not on tap.
Yes.
Were listed at $2
instead of $20.
Three rounds of espresso martinis
later and the bar staff
never noticed
because they don't,
they never see the amount
that's all taken care of
behind the scenes.
This happened at a bar
that I went to as well
and someone told me
that that had happened
to them as well.
Oh my God,
$2 espresso martinis?
Oh my God. And why did they stop at three rounds? I know. Oh my god, two dollar espresso martinis. Oh my god.
And why did they stop at three rounds?
I would keep drinking until I shit my pants.
Yeah, same.
We're upset. There is news, if you're voting in this election, that you may not get a sticker.
No, you're not. They're not doing them.
You're not getting a sticker.
What did the sticker say?
Last time I just voted and it was the orange guy and the dog?
Yeah.
Or is it an envelope going into a box?
It's not a leaflet.
It's your voting paper going into the box.
It's not a leaflet being delivered in the mail.
And then there's a sideways, there's an upside down mailbox
and someone's putting a pamphlet in.
Something close enough.
It looks like that.
Now, you can go on
twinkle.co.nz
and you can buy your own.
I don't want to.
But they're not giving them out.
Apparently the reporter
overseas just had one on
but that's probably been
sitting in the basement
of the New Zealand consulate
for like three years
since the last election, right?
There were some leftovers.
You'd imagine
they've got a few rolls.

Kia ora.
We will no longer be providing stickers.
So that's official.
They have not made stickers.
Yeah, but you can, they say,
providing stickers at elections.
However, you can use the digital ones from Giphy,
or if you would like, giphy.com slash voteNZ
or search voteNZ in your GIF selection tool.
Is this because of the lame environment?
Yeah, it might be actually.
The environment is like a kid. It loves
stickers. Yeah, I don't care
about the cost of the environment. I want a sticker.
I want a sticker. Are we doing pens this year?
COVID election, we're allowed
pens because it was like, maybe you don't want to touch it.
The pens are the people who touch. Oh yeah, maybe.
I've still got that pen. Or you can BYO pen.
I might BYO pen. Yeah.
I've got a nice pen. It hardly ever comes out the box.
Yeah, I've got a nice pen too.
Pop it in my top pocket and I better lose it.
And then I'll be like, I lost that nice pen.
I've got a nice pen from when I was a celebrant once.
Oh yeah, good. Not renewing my licence by the way.
I'm glad as a celebrant you had a nice pen.
Do you have a nice folder? I had a lovely folder.
Good girl. Black leather. Yes. I'm not standing there with a clear had a nice pen. Do you have a nice folder? Had a lovely folder. Good girl. Black leather.

So no stickers.
Oh, this is disappointing.
No stickers.
I'm not voting.
No, I'll vote.
You got to vote.
Got to vote.
Got to vote.
You say, but you're not getting a bloody sticker if you do.
Or a pen.
It's disappointing.
This year's been crap all round.
Probably still get to have a bit of a look around
like a school or something though.
You know, it's weird going to a school.
Oh, I love that.
It's always at a school, you're like,
let's have a look around the school.
Weird, they do that this way.
And you say things about the school like,
didn't have these in my day.
So apparently in lieu of stickers,
there's GIFs
that you can take a photo
of yourself and say
I voted
and then use a GIF.
But you can't take photos
where you vote.
They were always like
no phones,
no photos.
Okay, there's a photo
of myself.
They always say no photos
but you're allowed
as long as you're not
showing your voting papers
on who you voted for.
I'm just looking up
these GIFs.
NZ election.
It's just not the same. Oh yeah. Just Princeton stickers. No'm just looking up these GIFs. NZ election. It's just not the same.
Oh, yeah.
Just Princeton stickers.
No, they're quite cool GIFs.
Somebody said I voted yesterday.
Someone messaged and I voted yesterday and actually said to them,
is there stickers?
And they said not this year and I was a bit disappointed.
Yeah, see?
Yeah, the people are upset.
People are upset.
Bring back the stickers.
You've got three years to sort this out.
Yeah.
I have bought a leather recliner and footstool.
How have you not?
You're always buying.
Is there ever any selling?
Yeah.
I sold a shelf.
I've got a lounge suite of yours in my garage.
Are you buying more furniture?
I think we need to address the fact you've got a problem.
I actually don't.
I may need to store this at your house if possible.
You know what?
You can't.
As long as you can store it inside, it looks like a bloody good chair.
Yeah, I don't want you sitting in it.
I can do some real thinking in this chair.
I love this.
You showed me and I was like, I want this.
It's mid-century inspired, but I don't know if it's genuine.
I can't remember which category I found it in,
you know, whether it was just furniture
or if it was retro.
It looks posh.
So it's a secondhand.
It's from Trade Me.
From Trade Me.
I paid more than I wanted to,
but I got it.
Yep.
And it's quite tall and it like reclines.
Now, I don't know.
I just, I remember today today I have to pick it up
The guy's sick of my shite, you know
Oh, you're not, no, you're not one of those people
No, I'm not, it's just that the sale went through
And then I paid and then I went away
Oh my god, you are a push
Can you come and get this place?
You are the reason I hate trade me
Yes, I hate it too, I sold something this week
And now I've got to organise a herd to come get it
And I'm like
And then she'll come round and chew your ear off me As Doja Cat once famously said I sold something this week and now I've got to organise a herd to come get it. And I'm like, yeah.
And then she'll come round and chew your ear off. As Doja Cat once famously said.
So, and then I just figured today, I just remembered now.
And I've got a car that's like, I've got my laundry in there.
I was going to go do that today.
It's just a mess.
So you're driving the Maz, the Mazda 3.
And you showed us a picture of, and this is on our Instagram story, the picture of your car, Hayley,
and the picture of the chair that you've bought.
Yeah.
And I don't think it's going to fit.
Well, what do the people say?
Let me have a little looky-poo at the poll.
We'll see the latest result.
Do you want to borrow the chimney?
Will Hayley's new chair fit in her car?
My car is so much bigger than the chimney.
Yeah, that's so tiny.
It's really not.
I've got the height.
You've got the roof rack, so.
I've got the roof rack.
You could tie it on.
Well, on my own.
No.
I've got some straps.
I've got some load straps in the car.
I always carry load straps.
How ambitious is a little Jimny carrying load straps?
Never know when I'm going to need to strap something down.
Never know.
Will Hayley's new chair fit in her car?
For sure or no, you're DeLulu Han.
Now, I had to ask.
DeLulu means delusional. Yes, it does.
58% of people think that
it's going to fit. 58%.
But the fact,
Not enough to form a government. I know it is enough
to form a government. It's not like you drive
10 minutes down the road and if it doesn't fit
you can go get Aaron's ute.
It's an hour away and then
an hour back and then if it doesn't fit
there's another two hours that you have to.
I always do this.
When I buy something on Trade Me, I'll say Auckland only.
Because that's where I live.
And then I never look.
Gulf Harbour should not be counted as Auckland.
It should be counted as Whangarei.
I'm nearly going to bloody Poohoi to get this thing.
Yeah, you might as well get some cheese while you're up there.
Go and see the old wire wearer. I might pop to Poohoi. Why not? It's a beautiful place. You're going to have to pay a toll to get this thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might as well get some cheese while you're up there. Go and see the old wire wearer.
I might pop to Poohoi.
Yeah.
Why not?
It's a beautiful place.
To get there, you're going to have to pay a toll?
No, it's pre-toll.
Just pre-toll.
Is it pre-toll?
Just pre-toll.
Yeah, it's pre-toll.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know because I would always head up to Dargaville that way.
It's pre-toll, but God, it's close to toll.
Very close to toll.
I might as well go to Matakana for the day
and just have a beautiful afternoon on my own.
At the market stalling.
At the market stalling.
At the market stalling.
On a Tuesday, you damn fool.
Well, wish me luck.
I shall try to document it as best as possible,
unless it goes wrong, in which I have an absolute tantrum.
Is this person going to relist this item
if you don't pick it up today?
Like if you have to come back another day?
You paid for it, you said it.
I've paid for it, and I want it.
And I've stuffed them around a bit, so I've got to go and get it. So if you see to come back another day. You paid for it, you said it. I've paid for it and I want it. Yeah. And I've stuffed them around a bit.
So I've got to go and get it.
So if you see a bloody Mazda.
With the boot open.
Mazda with the boot open.
Do you want to borrow my strops?
So you can put it on the roof, strop it on.
You have to drop your harness off.
Your harnesses.
Your what?
Strops.
Strops.
The load strops.
I don't need to borrow your bloody six swing.
What good is that going to do for me?
How's that going to help me?
That's not going anywhere Which is what you also say when you strap someone into a sex swing
That's not going anywhere
I love a wedding
You know me, I love a wedding
I love attending a wedding
I love getting dressed up
I love the ceremony
I love to cry
I love a wedding. I love attending a wedding. I love getting dressed up. I love the ceremony. I love to cry.
I love love.
And... Well, imagine Bourne and I
when we're at your wedding.
Oh, my God, imagine.
We are so excited.
I cannot imagine.
For 2024?
Yeah, wow.
Well, you know, let's not put a date on it, you know?
Let's just see what's happening.
Floating.
Yeah, it's floating.
Okay.
But I'm always curious about the food.
Sometimes you go to weddings and there's like a buffet or a bit more formal.
I've gone to a few like really casual weddings with potluck
and they were awesome.
A potluck wedding?
Oh, yum.
There was so much food.
So you've got to get dressed and think about what to make.
Yeah, but no gift.
That was the thing.
Oh, my God, it was so good.
And everyone like brings their best thing.
But then what if
you end up with,
the balance isn't
right.
Is it like bring a
salad and a meat?
Oh, there's like an
online form.
Okay, of what you'll
do.
Breads, meats,
salads.
Okay, I like this.
Like a gift registry
except a potluck
registry.
Okay, well if you
do a potluck,
I bags bring in
the Mama Fiorale's
garlic bread.
You are not
invited to the wedding.
You're on it.
You're on it.
Thank you.
How much Mama
Fiorale's garlic
bread is he going
to have to bring?
Enough for
every order. I'll bring five. Five? No, five twin packs. I'll bring five the wedding. You're on it. How much Mama Fia Rowley's garlic bread is he going to have to bring? Enough for everyone.
Five. No, five twin packs.
I'll bring five twins. So ten loaves.
How many people are at this wedding?
Like no one.
Not even you guys.
Wow, okay. But at that wedding you
went to? This wedding I went to,
her uncle went to the local
Indian takeaway and got two bay maris
of butter chicken. Yum. It kicked. It was awesome. Then you got a bit of got two bay maris of butter chicken.
It kicked.
It was awesome.
And then you've got a bit of ceviche and a bit of nachos.
Yeah, what a weird mix of food.
Okay, I'm on board.
That sounds so good.
Anyway, there's a couple that's gone viral for having their wedding catered by McDonald's.
Yes, and I'm here for this.
We're talking your nuggies, your burgers, your chips.
And when I think about weddings, I'm like, man, I've been drinking.
I've been drinking since 2 p.m.
There is never enough food.
Nah.
I've been starved at weddings.
Vaughn has been to weddings recently and he's not been happy.
Here's the problem with them.
They've also been in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah.
It's very hard for me to just nip away for a snack.
Yeah. It's very hard for me to just nip away for a snack. Yeah. Which I'll do if it's like at an event place and there's like,
it's in town or an area where I can just sneak away,
get somebody to come back.
I'll take care of myself.
That's fine. But if you're in the middle of nowhere,
big daddy's got to be fed.
I get so hungry.
Maybe you've got to start taking some snacks,
a little lunch box.
That's not a bad idea actually because yeah,
the gays have starved me out two weddings in a row. The gays because, yeah, the gays have starved me out two weddings in a row.
The gays are the worst.
The gays have starved me out two weddings in a row.
Yeah.
I'm just like, let me eat.
Is it because they've gone too fancy with the nibbles
and so they're quite petite?
Little petite-y things and then...
Hors d'oeuvres.
Yeah.
And then the food, it kind of dribbles out.
The key is...
You want a gushing torrent of food.
I want to open my mouth and just have food fly in.
Yeah.
And I want it constant.
You've also been on the other side of things
where you've had a wedding
and you know how much food costs to cater at a wedding.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
And our dinner was a little bit late,
but we'd fed everybody up.
We had those boards circulating.
Yeah, right.
And I said, the people must be fed
because these people will get too carried away on the
bubbles and the wines
and the free drinks. These people
need to be fed or we're going to have a blowout
later on. Yeah. So now we did.
We fed them up. Dinner was late. The blowout was
pushed right later in the evening.
That's how you need it. This is where you want your blowout. You can't
go wrong with some big giant charcuterie
boards. Yeah, totally. Some planets and
nibble kind of stations.
Just anything in the afternoon.
Anything.
Like sliders.
Just lots.
Or if McDonald's is catering your wedding, maybe just some nugs.
Yeah.
Nugs.
Cheesy bees.
They show a delivery person showing up.
Hordes of McDonald's.
How delighted would you be?
Yeah, you'd be so.
I'm going there on the way home anyway.
Bit of parsley on the top.
Oh, my God.
It's bougie now.
Is that a wedding quarter?
You've garnished it.
A wedding cheeseburger.
A few people have commented saying like,
oh, you know, it's not bougie enough,
or, you know, for your wedding day.
Hell yes, man.
People would remember it.
People would remember it fondly too.
And they won't be upset.
Yeah.
100%.
Oh, my God.
I want to go to this wedding.
If I ever had a wedding in New Zealand,
holy hell.
Potluck.
Oh, yeah.
Potluck would be awesome.
Potluck would be awesome.
As long as someone brings two Baymarys of butter chicken.
What is a Baymarie?
A big serving platter?
You know, the big catering.
Oh, the big steel things that you put over.
The hot water in it.
Hot water. Oh, yeah. Like the that you put over the hot water and it heats it up.
Oh yeah, like the buffet trays.
Two of those of butter chicken
and some nuggies on the side.
I'd be in the butter
chicken sauce with the nuggies.
I want to dip a nuggy
into butter chicken.
The curry sauce was sold. We went to Macca's
the other day. The girls got nuggies and it
popped up. What sauce do you want? Curry sold out, it said.
That's good stuff.
That's good stuff.
We need to go to a mall and we need to get a mall curry and a mall nuggy.
Yep.
And dip.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip.
I don't know if people can hear me dancing, but I'm dancing.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
I just found tomorrow's fact of the day for Sesame Street week.
I saw you do a little wiggle.
I got very excited.
It's one of my favourite.
I want to talk about hands today.
Okay.
For Sesame Street.
Hands.
Cookie Monster and Ernie are the only left-handed Muppets.
Shout out.
And they made them specifically to represent the left-handed community.
How do you feel about that, Hayley, being a lefty?
Represented.
Yeah, they were like, we need left-handed Muppets because they're a left-handed people.
And children who are watching need to be represented. Righties won't notice it,
but lefties will notice. I remember those early episodes where they'd try to beat it out of
them with a roller. Yeah. No son of mine.
A left-handed fairy.
Whenever Cookie Monster
wrote with his right hand
they gave him a cookie
as a result
and Gon was writing
with his left hand
but he picked up
a very bad
food reward program
yeah
he was rewarded with food
he became addicted to food
he developed an unhealthy
relationship with food
yeah
do something good
get yourself a treaty
we talked about it
on the show yesterday
all of us
yeah
so Cookie Monster
and Ernie are the only left-handed Muppets.
Cookie Monster and the Swedish Chef are the only Muppets
with five fingers that all move.
Oh.
Every other Muppet has four fingers.
Have you ever seen how the Muppets with two hands work?
Like your Cookie Monsters, your Ernies, your Swedish Chefs.
There's two people, isn't there?
There's two people, yeah.
One person operates the mouth
and the same person operates one of their hands.
Now, so in the Ernie and the Cookie Monster who are the left,
the puppeteer would operate the mouth with his right
and the arm with the left.
Oh, yeah.
Meaning they could do that
and the other person would operate the right hand.
Right.
Individually.
Ernie does have five fingers.
Yeah.
No, he doesn't.
He's four. No, no, no, not Ernie does have five fingers. Yeah. No, he doesn't. He's four. No, no, no, not
Ernie. Oh, sorry. Cookie Monster
and Sweeter Chef are the only Muppets with five
fingers that all move. Oh. Cookie Monster and
Ernie are the only ones that are left-handed.
He does have five fingers. I don't know
why it looks weird that he's got five fingers.
Yeah. You're just used to them having four.
Some of the other Muppets have five fingers
but they don't move because they're the Muppets that
are controlled with like the sticks and the wires for the hands.
They're not articulated fingers.
Interesting.
Now, it was during this,
I just went to check something about the Swedish chef
that will bring us to Morris Factor the day for Muppet work.
I think he's one of my favourites.
Dude, the chaos.
When I was a kid, I loved Animal. Yeah. I loved think he's one of my favourites. Dude, the chaos. When I was a kid, I loved Animal.
Yeah.
I loved, Animal was one of my favourites
because it was just like chaos.
When he was playing the drums, it was chaos.
Swedish Chef because it was pure, unadulterated madness
that I just was just like, I love this, I love this.
And Fozzie Bear because he just couldn't do it.
He bombed every time and that was what made him great.
And you know what?
He never quit.
He never quit.
He got out there and he gave it another go.
What a beautiful message.
Yeah.
If you're a terrible comedian, just keep going.
Just keep trying to be funny.
Just keep going.
And try harder and harder and harder and harder.
Push.
Push.
Really push.
Yeah.
Live in the awkwardness.
Even if you weren't born with a sense of humour at all.
No.
It's very important you keep going or get into politics.
So today's fact of the day, Sesame Street hands,
Cookie Monster and Ernie are the only left-handed Muppets
and Cookie Monster and the Swedish chef are the only Muppets
with five fingers that all move.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. So a number of different celebrities are announcing that their children will get none of their inheritance.
Mick Jagger's just done it.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.
Just a little bit.
None, my darling.
I'll feed you.
I'll feed you.
But you're not getting that.
It's like, you know, so they learn the value of hard work.
Boo value.
Boo.
Boo value.
Man, if I had a rich daddy, I'd be living it up.
Completely.
Hell yeah.
If your dad was Bill Gates,
if your mum and dad were Bill and Melinda Gates.
I'd be Bill Jr.
Call me BJ.
No, if your dad was Bill Gates, you're not getting any.
He's another celebrity who was like, no.
All these celebrities have come out and said,
you're not getting my 500 mil or my billion dollars or whatever.
But are they getting like a million?
Am I getting a car?
Are you going to buy me a car?
Surely they're getting a couple of million, right?
Or they're getting nothing.
Well, they're not inheriting it.
So, for example, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis,
dual worth is 421 million US.
Always forget their worth because he invested a lot in a lot of like Uber and tech startups and stuff.
And they've been going since they were like kids.
Yeah.
And still have quite successful careers now.
None of it.
None of it.
So I guess like, you know, because I'd live in nice houses.
Yeah.
And you get to live as a kid in nice houses, probably have nice clothes.
And you'd be flying everywhere in a private jet on holidays.
Yeah.
But when it comes time to you getting out of the house,
see ya, you're on your own, you need a job.
But what if they were like,
Dad, I really want to start a business,
and here's my business plan.
Then they'd probably give you money for that.
And then, yeah, he's like, here's a million dollars.
I don't know.
It feels that it goes against their whole nepo baby thing
that they don't want to do.
Anyway.
I would happily, for the record, be a nepo
baby. Yeah, also it's
oh my god, same. They should just give their kids
all the money because they already
wrote a character reference for Danny Marsden.
Yeah.
That reputation's tarnished. No one's going to remember
if you gave your kid all your money after.
I know. We're giving it all to charity.
Don't bother now.
I want to know if this is sort of your circumstance,
is your family rich but you're not?
And what was the decision around you not getting any of your...
Or maybe you fell out with your rich family
and you don't get any of it.
Maybe you left.
Yeah, maybe you were written out of the will.
Or maybe you've just got parents that are like,
no, you don't get any of this.
Yeah.
You've got to make your own.
Because Rich and Branson did the same with his kids as well.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure he did a while ago.
Someone's got to inherit that island.
Yeah.
He's got a whole.
You get the island.
Although in a few years that island will be underwater anyway.
Yeah.
But, you know, get all the spaceships.
One good hurricane and planes and stuff.
He has spoken out
saying he hopes
he'll help his children
carry on his charity work
because he does
a lot of charity work.
Yeah.
He hopes he'll help them
by putting money
into the charities
and they can run it.
Other than that,
nah.
Only in warm places though.
He just can't wear
a white linen shirt
open to the naval
and two-fold economy.
Oh, he won't put on a jacket.
No. Or shoes. He's going to stay between the won't put on a jacket. No, no, no.
Or shoes.
Or stay between the tropics of cancer and capitalism.
Yeah, yeah, beautiful.
Absolutely.
Anyway, however it's happened, whether you've had a falling out or your parents have just
taken a stance and said, no, you have to have a job, is your family rich?
But you're not.
I do love when parents do this because, yeah, it teaches you.
But God, it must suck.
It'll make you a better human being, but yeah. Yeah, if your parents are like multi-bajillionaires. Give, it must suck. You want to make a better human being but yeah.
Yeah,
if your parents are like
multi-bajillionaires
Give me a little bit.
Give me a little bit,
Would you always be like,
I've learned my lesson.
Little bit of money please.
I've learned my lesson.
I got a job.
I've learned my lesson.
Yeah,
I mean,
is there anybody
I want a new dress.
It's almost an impossible
phone-in topic,
maybe.
Yeah.
But are you in this situation?
Are your parents like
stupid rich and you're not?
Well, they don't give you a single bit of it.
Oh my God, Nigella Lawson.
What?
Is she a nepo baby?
She's not giving her children nout.
Because she's going to blow it all on cocaine.
She said it ruins people to not have to earn money.
Did Nigella come from money?
Didn't she come from money?
But mummy, I'm a chocolate lover. You also said though that
you would work even if you won lotto.
Yes, I would. But that's
not because my father told me about hard work.
It's just a personality trait that I can't stop
busy brain. We're talking about, because
a lot of celebrities are cutting off their kids
and saying, you're not going to get my millions. You're going to
have to work for it.
We're talking about with... I just want a my millions. You're going to have to work for it. You'd be like, ma'am.
Ma'am, I just want a nice car.
We're talking about whether or not,
why you aren't rich if your family is.
If you've got rich parents and they're not giving you money.
Yeah, maybe you've been cut off as well.
Becky, your grandma was cut off.
She was.
So her parents were sir and ladies in the UK.
And they considered her a spinster.
So they sent her out to look after her grandparents in New Zealand.
Wait, she was a spinster, they said.
Yeah, she was 27 and unmarried in the 50s.
Oh my God.
Fair enough, she was a spinster.
Disgusting.
So they sent her out to New Zealand and she met my granddad on the boat,
and he was a Catholic, and they were Protestant.
And because she didn't want to be a spinster, they said,
well, if you marry him, you're done.
You are cut off.
So were they like, you're a spinster, and you're cut off,
or you marry a Catholic, and you're cut off, or you marry a Catholic and you're cut off?
No, because she's coming to look after her grandparents,
who are quite wealthy as well, so she would have been fine.
But, I mean, she chose the poor life.
She chose love.
She chose love and the poor life.
What is love?
Oh, no, no, she didn't love him, trust me.
She paid to get rid of him, she told everyone.
And she divorced him.
So it was a loose, loose situation in Brussels.
Wow, okay.
So how rich were her family?
Well, her uncle was a lord,
so I mean, they were fairly wealthy people, yes.
Wow, and then, yeah, chose, yeah, okay.
Amazing.
Becky, great story.
Great story.
Some messages in.
We want to know if you're in this similar situation,
like all these celebrities cutting off their kids.
Does it count if my kids are rich and I am not?
They're in primary school and each have an inheritance
of $2 million waiting for them.
My husband and I are absolutely working class.
How is their biological father, not my husband,
their biological father has very wealthy parents,
hence the inheritance, skipping us, going to them.
Whoa!
Oh, my God. But if you're that wealthy, you're going to them. What? Oh my God.
But if you're that wealthy, you're going to have it all tangled up in a trust sort of thing, right?
I feel so envious of these kids.
They're like millionaire kids at like what, primary school?
Yeah.
Is it not fair?
And I'm like, ma'am, can I have some money for Roblox?
You cannot have any money for Roblox.
Well, I've got $2 million in one day and you're not getting a cent of it because you didn't pay me for Roblox.
What would that do to you
oh my god
would you work hard
at high school
would you go to uni
it would be best
not to tell them right
I wouldn't tell them
yeah no you wouldn't tell them
and then on their 18th birthday
be like
no no no no
25th
20 yeah
I was gonna say 21st
but then I was like
no
god could you imagine
turning 18
and having like 2
and by the time they're 18
it's probably 3 million I'll just be you imagine turning 18 and having like two, and by the time they're 18, it's probably three million.
I'll just be on a boat somewhere.
You'll be on sail Croatia.
I have too many champagnes, I'll go over the edge.
Lynch, stand up.
Stand up.
You just said, remind me to get my stand out.
Oh, piss off.
You've got to move.
No, you can just stand.
No, it doesn't.
Stand and while you're talking, move your arms.
No, that's cheating. Yeah, it's not. Stand and while you're talking, move your arms.
No, that's cheating.
Yeah, it's not.
I'm trying to close the range.
Can we radio, please?
Sorry.
Thank you.
We're talking about if your family are rich and you are not.
How does that work?
What's happened?
Yeah.
Now, this is the sort of one
I can kind of...
I've been working for the family business
my whole life.
I'm an only child,
but my dad wouldn't let me
inherit the business.
I had to buy him out.
It took me six years, but now I'm the girl boss.
Your dad's taught you a valuable lesson there.
He built that.
I was assuming.
Yeah.
He built that thing from the ground up.
He's not just going to give it away.
No.
That's not how the real world works.
Oh, so he needs to get his money out.
Yeah.
When he leaves.
Wouldn't he rather stay on in some sort of cushy consulting job
and just take a drawer of wage?
A bit of a salary.
A nice wage from the company.
I hope he did you a good deal, though. Not an inflated price. Yeah. some sort of cushy consulting job and just take a, draw a wage, a nice wage from the company.
I hope he did you a good deal though.
Not an inflated price.
Yeah.
Oh,
damn he did.
No,
well,
he's a hard businessman.
He probably inflated it.
My dad didn't leave me this business.
I could be running bloody Pioneer Finance right now.
But oh no.
You would have pissed that away years ago.
In the nicest possible way. What time is it? In the nicest possible way.
In the nicest possible way.
You're a train wreck.
Giving you access to finance is a terrible idea.
Giving you access to a company work credit
card with unlimited lunches
is a bad idea, Hayley Sproul.
Well, you wouldn't be here. You'd currently be in court
defending yourself on a Ponzi scheme.
I can get you great returns. See? Great returns.
30%. See? Two weeks. 30%. See? Two weeks.
30%.
See?
This is kind of me.
Mum has set up a trust for education for generations to come.
Oh.
We've all had our education paid for.
Oh, yeah.
But then what if you've got someone that don't want the education?
Or they don't want kids.
I mean, I know it's not free to go through trade school.
Yeah.
But then that's the deal.
This is that old school thinking of give me grandkids.
Yeah, give me grandkids and then give me grandkids.
But then if they all do, there's too many of them
and then the money gets very thin at the end.
Yeah.
And we've got access to the batches.
So don't get me wrong, we're very spoiled brats.
But no dollar inheritance as such.
Just a little update from the text earlier of the rich dad
for the kids with two mil.
They don't know.
And they're not going to be told.
And they're not going to be told.
That's a good way of doing it.
That's a good way of doing it.
Because I would have been a brat as a teenager
if I knew I was a millionaire.
Yeah, but if I had my 48...
You were a brat and you were dirt poor.
I know.
We can only imagine money would have just made you a hyper brat.
I know, yeah.
My dad's done very well in his engineering career and retired at 55.
He told my sister and I that when he dies, we'll inherit,
but it'll be in a trust until we're 50.
What?
You could die by then.
Oh, no, no, no.
Life's for living in your 20s and 30s.
I'm nearly 50 and he's still alive,
so I better make it to 60.
So he'll make it 60 now just to be a dick
because he's still alive.
But you'll die.
Because we were true to inherit it at 50,
but he's still alive.
You've got to enjoy the money.
If it's there, there's no point locking it up.
Yeah.
Also, if what you want to do is buy a house with it, right,
it makes more sense to buy the house now
because the house is just going to be more expensive than 10 years.
Fingers crossed.
As a homeowner, fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed I don't keep going down.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed those interest rates come down.
They won't.
Fingers crossed.
What, what, what, what, what, what, what?
They'll go for a while.
We've been told they won't.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Can I get in on her dad's inheritance?
Marry her.
Sorry, sharts.
Yeah.
You out.
There's no need to get rid of shart, eh?
You can just do three.
Oh, yeah.
Polygons.
Polygons.
Polygons.
That's actually four,
so we're going to need a fourth if anyone's interested.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Listen to this.
Growing up, I just knew my dad worked in an office
and travelled a lot. I found out at 16
he was a CEO of a multi
million, and a multi
millionaire. I asked if he could help me out
financially for uni, he straight up said no.
I couldn't get the student allowance because he
earned too much, and now I've got a $50,000
debt all thanks to his tight ass.
Wild. Wild. That is wild.
That's wild.
Crazy.
Just pay the fees.
Or make them finish uni and then pay off
if you're worried about them going for a couple of years
and mucking around and then coming out with
nothing and no qualifications
and a debt. Say finish uni and I'll pay for it.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Great stories.
Shivers, guys. 10 out of 10 podcast.
That one? Yeah. I think two of us were
10 out of 10 and one of us wasn't. Or who was that?
Which one? We'll just leave that. We'll just leave that there.
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us
a rating and review. Please do. Unless it's
a bad one. Oh yeah, don't bother.
Yeah, no, don't. Don't bother.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
