Starting point is 00:00:00 From the ZM Podcast Network. This is Fleshwin and Haley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse. The biggest brands are the lowest prices. Fletch Fawn and Haley, happy Wednesday. Brad Olson's coming up. Yeah, Braddy. As he knows, he's on the phone.
Starting point is 00:00:16 He's coming in via the phone. You didn't let me finish. You interrupted me. What I meant to say was Brad Olson's coming in via the phone line. Yeah, and I'll tell you what, he's got some bad news, because Petra was going to go up, and now Kiwi Sav is going to go down because of, The shenanigans in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:00:32 That's a great way of putting it actually. Middle East and shenanigans. I've been hearing from some of our Middle East and listeners. Kiwis in Qatar, Kiwis in Doha, Kiwis in the United Arab Emirates. It's thoughts and press. It's horrible over there. I was just messaging, let me find one of my West Auckland semi-locals who's in
Starting point is 00:00:53 court is her name. Qatar. Qatar. She said, listen to the podcast, currently living in Qatar. of dairy farm in Hallinsville. And she said, I said, what's it like? What's happening? She said it's like COVID lockdown here, online learning, staying indoors about teachers, her and a partner.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Yep. Just as we're going to bed a few bangs overhead. Good stuff. I said, how do you get out? Like, say you're just like, no, I'm going home. Airspace is closed, so you need to get a Saudi visa, drove over the border, boat to Egypt, and fly out from there. To wherever you could possibly get a flight.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Well, yeah, none of the flights are going over the Middle East as well. Yeah, it's crazy times. We're going to catch up with somebody who's living in Dubai. Yeah, Emma was another person that was messages. She's just skydiving in Dubai. This is why. It's so wild. Yeah. Airspace is close, so you can't go skydive.
Starting point is 00:01:45 You guys have been skydiving in Dubai. I have a flatger. You did. Incredible. Imagine going skydiving and a bloody scud missile raps past. It was like the opening scenes of, or it's like watching Masters of the Air. Yeah. That Apple show.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yeah. The flack. It's pretty wide. No thanks. No thanks. The top six is on the way. Yeah, there's calls for every prison cell to have a phone in it. Like a landline.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Oh. So I've decided if they want a landline, they've got to have the top six other 1990s features. Of a bedroom and their jail cell. Coming up, four minutes past six next on the show. I've had a shocking season for tomatoes. Have you? Oh, Patsy wants a little update on the rhubarb.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It's alive. Okay, that's not thriving. It's not thriving. It's alive. with gardening? You were starting the show with a little bit of gardening because there's some horticulture news.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Tomatoes that smell like dot dot dot. I'll tell you what tomatoes smell like this. Tomatoes. What do you sort of are sicky? I love the smell of tomatoes. A few tomato leaves.
Starting point is 00:02:45 What have they been engineering engineering tomatoes? Yeah, we've had an engineering tomatoes engineering situation. I didn't think tomatoes needed an update. I didn't either. I'm a huge fan. I hate them.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I hate them. Do you guys hate tomatoes? I'll put up with them. I'll put up with them. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod I've noticed this. A fresh tomato picked straight from the plant
Starting point is 00:03:08 smells significantly different to a tomato that you purchased from the supermarket. Well, yeah, because it's been hanging out in the back of the supermarket, isn't it? Yeah. It's like fish and... And refrigerated and transported.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Well, apparently the fragrance of tomatoes is the first thing that goes. What does it smell like a fresh-off-the-vine tomato? I don't know. What can compare and ordinary... It does. It just smells like intense tomato. Yeah. Yeah. Well, apparently the
Starting point is 00:03:35 fading flavor and the scent goes first and then the flavor follows. Because that's what, true, picking a cherry tomato, I love cherry tomatoes. I think of a cherry tomato straight off the plant and chocolate and the gobs are sensory experiments. I can't stand tomatoes. They're all right when they're mixed in with food. Yeah, where they're like in the
Starting point is 00:03:51 midst of a salad. Or tomato sauce. Or a pizza, maybe in a sandwich but I'm like okay without. I'll take it out of burgers. Will you? Or sandwiches, yeah, every time. I just hate them on their own. The texture's god-awful.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Really? And all the little goop-y stuff. Sogs your sandwich. Sogs you up. Oh, we've got some real tomato haters on the show. So, well, Chinese scientists have developed a new tomato variety that holds onto its flavor and scent for longer. However, it smells like popcorn.
Starting point is 00:04:27 I love the smell of popcorn. It's been described as like. like a nutty. I don't like eating popcorn unless it's covered in caramel. But it smells delicious. Is it because it reminds you, it automatically takes you to the movies?
Starting point is 00:04:39 And when you're a kid, the movies like a real treat. I got popcorn of the movies the other day. Buttery popcorn. It's good. In the Chinese... We're like fussy children. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Oh, fussy little bastards. Yeah. In a Chinese laboratory, they identified the genes that are involved in how long it keeps it sent for. And they use that CRISPR machine?
Starting point is 00:05:01 You know that genetic, the thing that can alter DNA? Switch on and off switches. I hear you talking about the Ninja CRISPR. The Ninja Krispy. Same like a dehydrator. So you've got the Ninja Creamy, you've got the Ninja Slushy, and you've got the Ninja Krista. Which just sits on your bench.
Starting point is 00:05:15 It takes up a bit of room, but it can genetically modify things. And lastly, you're switching it off on. So they found the specific genes in the tomato that act as aromatic super, and they just basically flick the switch on him and now, It'll last for longer. Popcorny tomato. Well, at least it's not another pandemic, you know. Is it, though?
Starting point is 00:05:34 In the Chinese lab. Isn't it, no? Yeah, is that going to, yeah. The tomato virus? Oh. Where we all turn into red. We're all turned into mush. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So they've done like... It turns your inside into soppy wet mush. They've like flipped other ones in the DNA breakdown of a tomato. And but it had like all of a sudden and they were like really sweet. And then it's like, so... Why go popcorn though? That's weird. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:57 They haven't done it on purpose. Oh, right. Just by cranking it, just by cranking it, that's now what the scent right is more like. Resembles. It's more nutty. They said it's a nuttier smell and it's not exactly what you'd expect from a tomato. And people are like, I smells like popcorn. Still not a fan.
Starting point is 00:06:17 It's still like, if you could get away for the middle to be firmer and less seedy. More like an apple? Or no, more like a melon? I just think, I just think I'm just done with them. Yeah. They're slops. They're a mess. When people ask me what a persimine taste like,
Starting point is 00:06:33 because I've got a persimmon tree, they're like, what does that taste like? Those orange things. Yeah, it's a carrot apple. Carrot apple. It's a carrot apple. Again, it's a no from me. It's a no from me.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Are you a no one on a persimine too? Yeah. Fussy little shits. Yeah, we are. Well, you're going hungry because your mother and I only got persiments. No, but I don't want persiments. Or nuggets, Dad.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, no nuggets. There are no nuggets. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod. From the unmoderated comment section, This is the top six. Where is it? Calls for prisoners to have... It's in your email.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I know where's my email? It's in there. Someone replied to it. Yes, I knew that would cause a problem and I was going to address that today. How it's been addressed now. Wow. There's calls for a phone in every jail cell
Starting point is 00:07:23 so that prisoners can call loved ones. Stay connected. Stay connected. Yeah, because what is... Like your standard New Zealand prison cell, is it one each or do you bunk with someone? Is there a TV in there? You've got to be bunking.
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's been so long since I was in there. When I was there. Oh my God, you just told everyone you're in prison. I have a criminal pass. Yeah, sure. I don't know. We all just imagine it from the movie. What does a in prison look like?
Starting point is 00:07:51 But like... Text in 96696 if you've been in prison. Yeah, what was it like? What did you have? I mean, this is the argument that, you know, you lose your freedoms, because you've broken the law and you do your time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But then I guess the other argument is like, you know, people... Being completely isolated like that. Yeah, then what does that do to human being? And then if you... Should they be able to talk to their family and friends and loved ones? Okay, so I just googled in it said New Zealand prisons, more modern units, can have sensory gardens. Oh, a sensory garden?
Starting point is 00:08:23 A sensory garden? What, like Changi Airport with a waterfall in it inside. I don't have a sensory garden. That's not fair. That's not fair. I pay tax. But if you murder someone, you'll get a sensory garden. Oh, is that all it takes?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Yeah. But I don't want to murder someone. I want to bury them in my sensory garden. Oh, wow. Individual nine metre square cells. So that's a three by three. Now, is that bigger than your apartment, Shannon, at Meth Towers? Three meters by three meters.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Just the room. Just the outside stuff as well. Not your kitchen and they don't get a dairy that sells chicken. My entire apartment's 37 meters squared. Okay. So I don't know. But my bedroom's the size of a double bed. plus like 30 centimetres on each side.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Plus scoge room. Yeah. You can walk and my hallway you can't put your arms out like you can't carry your shopping or anything. Your entire apartment is four New Zealand prison cells. Yeah. I mean that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:09:15 So do you have a sensory garden? Do you have a sensory garden? Sometimes when it's real windy stuff blows inside. There you go. And you get to rake it. Good way of looking at things, Shannon. You've made that wind and horrible into a sensory Garden.
Starting point is 00:09:31 A quip, positive. Toilets, TVs and desks. And now there's calls for it to have a telephone in each individual prison cell as well. Would you have an individual phone number? No, I reckon you go through the directory.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Also, like, you're going to have to have one of those things mum had growing up, like a roller decks for all the phone numbers. Yeah. Because I can't remember numbers. No. Maybe a modern landline has some programmable memory. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Favorite. Yeah, yeah, your favourites. Well, I've got the top six other 90s features I think jail sales should have. Yeah, if they're going to have a landline. That's very 90s bedroom. Mom, I want a landline in my room. I want a phone.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Well, we've got a union court list. My one's at a bedroom's, and I can't leave it in my room. Top six other 90s features, jail sales is going to have number six on the list of Jonathan Taylor-Thomas poster. Is he the only one that has been arrested from that show? The others have faced arrest. I don't think the mum's been arrested. But wasn't he deeply Christian?

Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah, right. Play out with their big blinky eyeballs. Yeah, and in the middle of the night, it'd be like, blah, oh, well, you should have a little bitty-bid-di-bdi-bid. You'd be like, not today, Furby. You'd take the batteries out and would still work. And then it haunts you. Yeah, some said, each Furby came with the soul of a child that died in the 1600s.

Starting point is 00:12:28 those big fat TVs, pubs and put them on the wall and they were like, yeah, on a brace. I'll tell you what, kids these days will not know the sheer panic that you had at the dentist, seeing one of those giant TVs hovering above your head. And you're just like, have they fixed that to the roof enough? Yeah. They just got the nurse's, like, husband to come into it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:49 I think you're going to say kids wouldn't know the sheer panic of being in your bed and there's a small television that you're watching something wildly inappropriate on in your bedroom and you hear your parents get out and they're coming to the room and you've got to dive up and turn the TV because you're not supposed to watching the TV

They can have a dream catcher. But the dealers, they've got to make it themselves. Oh, lovely. Just love making dream catchers.
Starting point is 00:14:58 We did electives at Intermediate. This has really turned into a nostalgia break, and I'm totally here for it. We did electives at Intermediate. Did you do electives where it was not like a learning thing, but you would choose. And if you were there on the day and you got first choice, you'd always choose chocolate making.
Starting point is 00:15:13 But then... Oh, yeah, I think we made a movie. Yeah, so electives, you got to... One of our electives was dream catchers. And the woodwork teacher, shout out Mr. King. He took dream catching. And we made dream catchers.

Love that.

Starting point is 00:16:19 That is today's top six The ZAN Podcast Network I have a storage lot Oh, never. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had one of those are four pretty cool. Yeah, you've had one. Beep, beep, beep.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Grew, gate opens. You put in your little code. Gate opens. Drive up to your garage door. What's in all of these ones? What's in all of these ones? I like my last one. You could see over the top.
Starting point is 00:16:41 You could almost see the other people's units just over the top. There was like a little gate grill, I guess, for ventilation. Because I only know storage lockers from movies and TV shows. Yeah. And nothing, nothing wholesome ever happens in a store. storage locker. Dead bodies and meth labs. Either hiding dead bodies.
Starting point is 00:16:59 They're either escaping or the police are raiding it or nothing good. No. Well that's not what you're going to do with your storage unit or is that what you're admitting here and now? No, because I'm renovating and so everything's moving out into the storage locker for a couple of months. And I'm just
Starting point is 00:17:16 excited. I don't know why. No, they are fun and they really make you feel like an adult. Yeah. Look at me with my things. Yeah, because I've got things. Yeah, I've acquired these things. Yeah. So I had one for a time and you had to hire it by the month, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And all of the stuff was pretty much moved out. And I still had the storage in and I went and sat in there for a bit. I've had some drinks. Back to the car and shut the door. I was thinking like for the price. And ran a bike. No, no, I turned the car off. I didn't leave the car running.
Starting point is 00:17:48 It wasn't a cry for help. Because people hire them to store like classic cars. Classic cars. Yeah. But no, I'm very excited. excited about this. Can we have a little friendship hang in your storage unit? I mean, I was kind of thinking
Starting point is 00:18:01 like if you couldn't find a flat, like this would be a hundred bucks a week. I think. For a big one. Yeah, but there's no toilet or running water. Well, there's a toilet. Or there's a toilet. You just go to Maccas. As you're on close to a Maccas. Well, not really. Or is a gym nearby? Because I went to the gym yesterday. Yeah. A different gym
Starting point is 00:18:17 to usual. And I was going to the bathroom and I something caught my eye in the bin and I looked and someone had had two of those alcoholic lemonade. Now, my thought, is that's not someone who's pre or post workout. That's somebody who's using the facilities at the gym come in, shower up, get ready after hours
Starting point is 00:18:35 when the office people aren't there and having a bit of a preload. Have a couple of shower cans. Yeah, I mean, if you're absolutely welcome to hang because it's my locker. But how far away is it from amenities? Because if we need a wee, there's nothing right next door. Oh, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:18:52 A wee bucket with a lid. Yeah, yeah, no poops, just wee. I'll pose if it needs. On the moment. How far's the walk? Okay, you are not doing that. Can we come have the little drinkies? We should live.
Starting point is 00:19:04 We should live in it for a week. Can we stay in it overnight? I haven't read the, I scroll down when it's like sign this contract and I was like, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, sign. I didn't read any of it. But I'm pretty sure in there there's a clause about not living in there. I've got a big king-sized airbed mattress and I say the three of us do a night in your storage unit. A storage sleepover.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Oh, God. How fun. I always ended it with three-point wheeze, so that's not happening. Me too. There was a guy when I had one who were playing drums in it. Yes, same. What? Did you have one at the same unit as me?
Starting point is 00:19:35 No. Oh, okay. Because I had mine on... In QMU. No, I had mine on the side of the north-western motorway when you're going west, it's on the left. That one you can see from the road. It's massive.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And there was a guy... Same. Yeah, because nobody wants that in their house or next to their house. He would just practice for hours. Almost every time I was there. Yeah. This drummer was there. God.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Should we start? a band in your storage unit. They start a storage unit band. Bring them a keyboard out there. And we'll call it storage. Or it could be a death metal band that can be it store rage. What about S unit? Instead of G union.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And we just do gangster rap? S unit. The Z&P Podcast Network. Play ZEMS, Flash Foran and Haley. There's a British father and son. Their name's a Joshua and George Kohler. They are cycling around the world aiming for a father-son,
Starting point is 00:20:21 Guinness World Record. 24 countries. big cycle, you know. We're cycling and our light ring. We've been everywhere. We've been everywhere on our bikes. And they have claimed their review of New Zealand. They have claimed that we have the most agro drivers.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Wow. In the world. So because they're kind of finishing up their world record here and they've been everywhere. And so they're not wrong. They've been to 24 countries. In New Zealand, they spent 17 days. cycling 1,500 kilometres.
Starting point is 00:20:56 That's almost top to bottom, isn't it? Wow. And they claim they received daily abuse. Including close passing. Yep. Shouting, get off the road. Oh, that's not on. A scary near miss happened near Murchison,
Starting point is 00:21:13 where there was a car towing caravan, overtook them on a blind bend. Oh, you'd South Island roads. I mean, I... I love a bit of cyclone. but I, yeah, I would never cycle on some parts of New Zealand roads. Like, you've just got a death wish, especially around some of those places. Yeah, they said New Zealand had the most beautiful scenery of their entire trip.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Yeah. But the most aggro drivers, they also had lots of drivers giving them the finger. And I just saw on TikTok, we're not doing that. Why, what are we doing now? Thumbs downing people. And think about how much more that hurt. And I would, like, if you drive past someone, rather than flipping them off, which, like, shows that you're, you're aggressive and you're more,
Starting point is 00:21:53 impactor. Just, boom. Give them a bit of this. So, yeah, boo. I've always laughed at people that get agro. I wave and smile. Same. That makes it even worse.
Starting point is 00:22:02 We just said this, right? We just said it. And we said, yeah, it's crazy. And I was about to say, I think cyclists are treated terribly on the roads. We're already getting text messages back. No way. They were probably biking in the middle of the road. All right, but we're cycling side by side and taking up the whole road?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Oh, my God. See, I hate that. I hate that. I mean, I don't cycle a lot. I'll cycle around the city, but like I'll be... I'm not going to be side by side next to someone. I'm not going to be in the middle of the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Sometimes you can see why the agro happens. Well, if you are a cyclist and someone, one of the Kiwi drivers, gives you some agro behavior, rather than flipping the bird or losing your call, just look at them, shake your head and thumbs down. Play Z-Ns, flesh, one, and haley. There is an influencer who did not read the influence. instructions. Oh. No. And I feel like I don't know how he's done this without seeing it. So I drank like four drinks with the straw. The cleaning brush is inside the straw.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Do you think I knew that the cleaning brush was inside the straw the whole time? I sipped four drinks with the brush like that. So you know when you buy like a metal or a glass straw or something and it has those little tuby things you can clean it and get your smoothie stuff out. Which no one uses, right? What? Occasionally, even now and then love a good cleaner. It's only when I can see the spitsy seeds of, you know, raspberries and
Starting point is 00:23:34 stuff around it. But I want to know what drinks he put through that thing, because they would have been like kind of almost filtered through the bottle brush. Yeah, and he would have been like, oh, this straw sucks, it doesn't have a lot of suck. Something's obstructing my beverage. But I don't
Starting point is 00:23:50 know that... Especially if it was a thick drink. Yeah. For a fat straw. I don't, I don't tend to read instructions. I mean, my dad's always said, you only read the instructions when something goes wrong. Yeah, totally. I'm definitely like, flat pack furniture, you tip that out and you're like, I mean, it'll all make sense.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And then, you've done one of these before. A couple of screws at the end left over. I need an Allen key at some point. Yeah. No, I don't read instructions. Even on tech things, I'm just like, I'll push that button. That feels like the obvious one to turn it on. Because you just, if you get something new, you just want to set it up, or you just want to use it straight away.
Starting point is 00:24:22 know when your phone updates and it's like, do you want to tour through the new and you're like, no, I'll just feel it. Yeah, I'll find out later. But I do feel like, yeah, sometimes you learn a hard lesson. Well, that is what we want to know this morning. 0,800 dials at Amazon number. You can text through as well, 9-696. See, the first text in, we don't do that with hair dye.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Read those instructions. No, okay, there's some things you definitely read the instructions for. Oh, the word burns in there. Oh, okay. Oh, 800,000 M is already coming through, 9-696 to text. When didn't you read the instructions? Right now, when didn't you read the instructions? And probably live to regret it.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Crystal joins us. Good morning, Crystal. What, you didn't read the instructions is when it came to hair dye. Another one of these. Yeah. Yeah, I just, it was supposed to be the test patch. Not leave it in your hair for 60 minutes. We don't do the test patches, though, do we?
Starting point is 00:25:15 I never do it. When it's like when you're trying to get a stain out of something, and it's the little stain stick, always says, try a test patch first. In case I'm just a discaroration. I'm like, nah, nah. Yeah, no. So how long are you meant to leave hair dye in for? 20 minutes, 25 minutes. Oh, wow. Crystal, why did we leave it an hour?
Starting point is 00:25:31 It's like when people don't read the instructions of hair removal cream. Oh, the VE will get you. It'll remove your hair and your skin. And your skin. So, Crystal, what happened? Well, I just, again, put the hair dye in, left it. You know, it's like burning and itchy. I'm like, oh, it's obviously working. Washed it out. It was still burning. had a glass of wine
Starting point is 00:25:52 and then my now husband was like your face is like kind of swelling and you're like a little glass of wine you look like quasi-modo I'm like that's not very nice and went to the A&E
Starting point is 00:26:09 and they said yeah you're you know you're in anaphylactic shot it will spread down to your lungs we need to give you a steroid injection in your butt oh no that's good And then she's like, how much do you weigh? I'm like, rude.

Starting point is 00:26:36 Yeah, no, like, that's really, like, not working. Like, and, you know, and then they're like, you need to tell us your correct way. Otherwise, you're going to, like, not wake up because it will spread to your lungs. So, yeah, I nearly died. Well, so you nearly died because you nearly died because you took. 10 kGs of your wife. And it wasn't enough of a dose. They underdose you. Because you wanted to be skinny with a different

I love someone just text, just text in, what is this thing you call instructions? We just don't read them. I didn't read the instructions on how to prime my we govi pen. I wasted a whole $140 dose.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Wait, what do you mean primate? I don't know. I've never, like, do you have to like take the top off or you have to 3, 4, 3, if you could let us know how you prime or go over it? Or is it like, you know, when you're going to start the lawmower and you have to press the pump button to pump the fuel into the fuel line. Yeah, yeah, like a

You check your fill. Air bubbles. I'm about to check my flow. Oh yeah, well, air bubbles and injections famously don't go well.

Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah. Wrong workplace. I sent to the husband to read the instructions before you put together the David Trubridge Light. Now I've Googled what a David Truberidge light is. It's those wooden ones that are all like plaited together. I know those ones. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And I thought those came assembled. That sounds like a nightmare to put together. Yeah, it does. But anyway, they only cost $5,000. So you think they'd come pre-a-old. assembled, but anyway, he had to restart a few times, and he ended up reading the instructions. Yeah. If I pay $5,000, which I would never do.
Starting point is 00:29:24 No. Ever. I'd read the instructions. I'd buy a $5,000 house. I love some of a message. I didn't read the instructions to the parenting book. I just moved the bookmark forward every day so that my wife thought that I did. Kids turned out okay, though.
Starting point is 00:29:37 I was accused of not reading the instructions, but I pointed out to the service person who came that nowhere in the manual that it said to remove the travel screws on the washing machine. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you've got to remove the travel smoke. It holds the barrel. But you've got to take them off before you use the washing machine. Also, that's everywhere in the manual. But they said it wasn't, and they showed it to the buy.
Starting point is 00:29:55 They even got their money back. Oh, really? Because it wasn't in the manual. Okay. Somebody said, I've never played a game where I've watched the tutorials or how to do the controller instructions. I just skip straight past it. And then I'm like, well, I don't know how to play this game.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Make up your own rules. Just running around a village. Just axing people because it's the only thing you've got to do. Killing your teammates. Tarr. Tah. Play that ends Flash forne and Haley
Starting point is 00:30:18 Now Sunday is my run day And I'm doing 8.5 If you've just joined the show I'm not a runner I've never have done a run I'm doing round the bays in Auckland You've got your Kmart running vest I've got my Kmart running vest
Starting point is 00:30:32 My Kmart wrap around running Sunnies But the outfit was not complete Because Oh God oh God I'm running as part of a team A friend of mine their workplace was doing putting together a team. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And so as part of running with this team, we're all getting t-shirts made. Oh yeah, this is a big thing because a lot of it is for charity. Yeah, and it's for a company. Yeah, yeah. So like a workplace will make them. So I've joined a workplace as running team. Right. And it's the workplace is red badge security.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And if you don't know them, you'll recognize them. They're the ones in the yellow vests at the concerts. Tackled the... They tackle... Yeah, they're streakers. They're rugby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they're pulling you out of a mosh pit at all.
Starting point is 00:31:22 These people are risking getting a doodle in their face every day, I would. You tackle a streaker, you know. And some of us might think that's a fun way to spend the evening, but these people aren't they're not choosing that life. No, they're not choosing that life. No. They didn't choose to protect the innocent, uphold the law and get a doodle in their face.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Yeah. They're there to protect the players. They didn't come for a doodle in the face. Right. So yesterday, my friend, came over and said, whatever. It's off launch. It's off, semi-hard.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And he was like, I've got your T-shirt for the... Oh, God. For the work group. You're going to look like you're standing at Eden Park. Well, hang on the... Oh, she's getting it. By the billboards. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Waiting for a streaker. It's going to be a doozy. Let's just say, I just want to say, like, the fronts... That's also not a running... That's not running material, is it? Yeah, no, it is. Oh, no, it is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Okay, so Southern Cross, round the... bays, Wellington Crusher at Auckland, that's fine at the front, I've gone oversized. Wait, what bays are they running in Christchurch? Where do they run around the sick bays? No, do they go out to Littleton or something? The Ture Bays. Maybe. I guess there's bays they can. I don't know. It's just like Wellington's
Starting point is 00:32:30 got a bay, you know Auckland's got a proper bay. If they're running around Havlock North and they're calling it around the bays, I won't stand around. No, sorry. Hagley Park. Hagley Park. Maybe you could just go to the Sumner, I guess. But would you call that a bay? Straight Beach. Staying the corner of Humphrey's drive in Kite Lane near the Christchurch Estuary
Starting point is 00:32:48 and ferryman and finishing at Thompson Park, New Brighton. That's a bay. That's a coast. That's a coast. That's around the estuary and a coast. That needs to be changed. I think we should get in touch with the organisers. And call it along the coast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Around the base.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Along the coast. There should be differentiation. Anyway, so this is fine. Wait a minute. I'm pulling up a course map. Okay. There's no, there's nothing. There's no bays. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It's estuary. Round the estuary doesn't sort of... Do you think we could take... It's Abe on Heathcote, Estuary. Do you think we could take legal action against around the bays, crunch it? I think we should sue them. There's not a single bay involved here. That's straight onto the ocean front. Yeah, that's a flat beach.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It's a flat line. It's a flat line. That's not around the bays. I mean, is it technically a bay, though? Because it's an estuary. Wellington you run bay to bay to bay. Yeah, exactly. You're undulating and it's around.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Okay, listen. What quantifies a bay? We'll ask chat. I will. You, I love Chach Chitipiti. Do you use AI? Anyway, aside from that. So the front's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:51 It's navy blue. That works for me like a dark colour. The front's fine. There's the round the base. It's the back where we have the issue. Oh, God. What does it say? Because there's this company that I've joined the team for,
Starting point is 00:34:00 and I'm grateful to be part of the team. They have... Are you raising... Can I just, before you reveal this? Are you raising money for, like, sick kids or something? Yeah, but I can't remember which sick kids. Because it's kind of weird. Like, you've got this platform where, like, listeners could probably
Starting point is 00:34:13 like donate and help out a charity here. And you just don't kind of care. This is the whole reason people do around the bays. Yeah, yeah. Or around the coast. Around the bay. A bay is a wide curved indentation in the coastline where the land wraps partly around the water.
Starting point is 00:34:28 See, there's no curve. Key features are broad and open to the ocean. Provide some shelter from waves can contain beaches, harbors or estuaries inside it. Oh, okay, so they've got you there. No. Inside it? Inside it. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:42 For example, Hawks Bay. Okay. A harbour is a sheltered body of water where boats can anchor safely. I'm just trying to look to see who we're supporting. A beach is a strip of land made of sand pebbles or rocks. And an estuary is a place where the river meets the sea mixing fresh and salt water. You've lost title. I'm just a stickler for the name.
Starting point is 00:35:00 If you're going to call it around the bays, there's got to be bad. No, we'll force them to change it. Simple terms, Bay is big curved coastline. Yeah, okay. Okay, anyway, so here's my polo. Yep. And what I didn't realize was by taking part of this team, I would have to, where their chosen motivational motto that they put on the back.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Oh, no. Oh, God. This was not information passed on to me that this was going to be on the back. So remember, Red Badge Security. Yep. Here's the logo. We usually trace trouble, but today we chase personal bests. Oh, that's bad, isn't it? What, even the font choice before I could even read it?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Yeah. Like, it's a spacey font. Hold it up again? I would have gone all caps. I would have gone all caps. If you're listening from Red Badge, we're just, if you want to receive feedback. We usually chase trouble. Today we chase personal best.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I would also like to note that my personal best will be, this is not a personal best. No. Technically, it's your first. It's a baseline. So it will be your best. And worse. I would, if I was in, we usually change our nude streakers. And today, we are streaking nude.
Starting point is 00:36:05 No, because they got the tuesday on. It doesn't work. We usually, we usually guard. No, today we are. We usually chase streakers. Today we are streaking. No, because they've got... But then they just have my pants off.
Starting point is 00:36:18 But it's a figure... It's figuratively not actually... Well, I don't want to take my pants off for this run. My thighs will chafe. I can't be having it. Well, good luck.

Now, Fletch and I have not seen any of days, but Vaughn has been reading through them. I've got too much going on. So, and now I'm way down. Some of these are in tens.
Starting point is 00:37:13 So the reason we ask you is because the University of Melbourne studied a bunch of people and they found that the average person has nine deep dark secrets, which is insane, right? Deep dark secrets. Dark secrets to me, how do you, I know, like, keep secrets, but the minute they're just be like shame or a secret, you know, like it doesn't have a heavy. No. You killed someone? Well, I'm not listening all of mine. That's at the absolute top of the deep dark secrets.

I reckon if you were, me with absolutely no basis of saying this, but if you were to walk away from your marriage, you don't want to be a wife anymore and you don't want to be of this person, I think you'd be happier and maybe that would renew your happiness within your motherhood.

I know he's been having an affair for the last four years or some S-L-U-T from work. So you haven't said anything to him? Why not?
Starting point is 00:42:50 He doesn't know that you know. I always wonder about people that don't say anything. Like, is it because I don't want to upset, like, life's great otherwise? Because then you have to, like, face it. You've got to start again. Once you say it out loud, it's really true, and then you've got to deal with it. But also, if you're okay with it, then maybe... But then maybe they're not.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Not okay with it. Maybe you need to read the book. But they're going to be less okay with talking about it. Oh, that's horrible. What a situation. I'm not sexually attracted to this. We've had some text messages and people just want to get these dark secrets off the chest. I'm not sexually attracted to my partner anymore of 13 years.
Starting point is 00:43:30 That happens, isn't it? It does happen. Like, what would Morgan, our sexologist friends say about that? You can reignite it, I think. But it'll take work. You can't just ignore it. I don't know. Um, my deep dark secret is I was always going to go back to my ex-partner,

Starting point is 00:48:24 When you were you a wopper? I don't think people know that, Vaughn. I know it in pounds. I was like nine pounds something. Well, Vaughan had a massive head and they had to get tonged out. Yeah, no, I didn't. I had a massive head, but I didn't need no tongs. I just came out.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I didn't need the baby chains or read it. Didn't need no tongs. I didn't need no tongs. Now, someone's just messaging, can we get back to the chain. Sautil situation. I'm the late 1700. I'm trying to do. John Aiken, who's now I'm married at first sight.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Yeah. And he looks wonderful for a man approaching 300 years old. Crazy. John Aiken and James Jafray developed a small hand-cranked chain and blade device. So it was like the precursor to the chainsaw. And where are you putting that in me? What we're doing is we're chainsawing up your pelvic bone to open you got to open you up a little more. Okay, that's enough of this fair.
Starting point is 00:49:13 And then how is my pelvic bone getting put back together, or I don't matter anymore? Look, chances are you going to die anyway, love. Do you want this baby out? At the cost of my own life? Because you're going to die, your husband's going to matter. Oh, no, and then your sister is going to come and marry your husband because that's how things work.
Starting point is 00:49:27 You're 36, you're about to get the black plague and die anyway. Yeah, it's at the end of my life. You're at the end of your life in the 1700. I will cut away. Yeah. Cut away and good luck for the baby. Also, I will remind you, these were used before anesthetic. Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Blood transfusion, antibiotics. Or sterile surgical. environments. But anyway, after that, someone is like, that would actually work really well for... Well, Shannon's just called me on the plague was 1350. There would have been a history buff. There would have been after. There would have been something.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It would have been... She would have stepped out of the hospital into a plague of locusts. Jack the Ripper would have cut you open. Don't come back to that. The plague is one of my specialty subjects and I was watching a docker the other night. It started 1340-ish, but we really hit the peak in the 15s.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Okay, but what would have killed Hayley... What would have killed Hayley? in the 1700s. Cephalus. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We were talking some gauis. She would have been riddled.
Starting point is 00:50:23 No offence. None taken. So then they saw this chain going around on the blade and they were like, that would actually be really good for forestry. But the hand crank slowly to put a motor on it so they were gas powered
Starting point is 00:50:37 and some of the early ones even powered by steam. That's how we have chains used. So today's fact of the day is it started. out in the medical field is the chainsaw. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day,
Starting point is 00:50:51 yeah. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. You may remember when we caught up, cured up with Lily Allen, friend of the show, dear friend of the show, that, uh, Vaughn, you in particular asked, She comes to New Zealand, is she going to hit us with the old? Even though I found it afterwards, her tour is literally called Lily Allen Place West End Girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:21 I mean, that's like, bad question, Byrne. Like she said in the interview, that that would be 30 minutes. Yeah, yeah, yes. Because all songs are like two and a half minutes now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For streaming. Which brings it very hard for radio presenters to go to the toilet. Yeah, it's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:33 We've been doing it tough. She gets to the end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's out, I'll start from the top. We'll just run it through twice. We'll just go through twice at an hour.
Starting point is 00:51:42 She did tease that she was. was going to, there was going to be little extras and stuff to obviously beef out the concert. But now there's been something that she's just revealed that they're calling it an unorthodox move because fans do want to hear the old songs. Yes. Now apparently at the beginning of the concert
Starting point is 00:51:59 there's going to be a string quartet instead playing the old songs, you know, orchestral versions of, with the lyrics in the back where the audience will be encouraged to sing the old songs. By the way, she's not on stage.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Wait, so she's crowdsourcing before she comes out. A covers band. She is. So you're going to go see Lily Allen and also a Lily Allen covers band. Yeah. So she's done her first concert of this tour already. And this was what was surprising to fans that this was her approach of kind of ticking
Starting point is 00:52:32 off the old songs like this song. So she didn't do any old songs? No, I don't think so. She had an orchestral group performing instrumental versions of 10 of her biggest hits from earlier in her career and then had the lyrics so that fans could sing along. Then after a little break after that, so it's like the opening act for her.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Then she goes on to sing a little break and then she comes out. And does her, we sing girl? Yeah. Is there any video? So they did 10 songs, The Fair London. Come on there, Not Fair 22, Alfie. Who'd have known? own heart at hair smile and FU.
Starting point is 00:53:13 And so they were all performed by the Dallas Minor Trio. Yeah. And then she... And they're looking at her set list. That's nuts. It's all from West End Girl and then a few kind of little extras but not. She doesn't end with like an encore where she comes out and
Starting point is 00:53:29 performs one of her hit songs. Fruitie Loop is her last song on this set. Some feedback from people who went. This is like a primary school assembly sing along. Let's get something else for the arena tour. So you're telling me Lily Ellen will be on stage for 45 minutes, just so I've got that straight.
Starting point is 00:53:45 As fierce as it is, that Lily Allen's touring again and the show looks fierce, I cannot wait to go. I just can't help it feel like a trio of people playing her hits on stringed instruments and not her singing them, but the crowd singing along isn't going to help in an arena. Yeah, and also it's not going to help ticket sales going forward if people are like, well, I want to hear her sing the old songs as well.
Starting point is 00:54:04 I get the artistry of it. You know, the album is a story piece, and we want to hear it in its whole. I get that. But like, I've been to concerts before with, like, legendary artists that only played new stuff. And it's so disappointing. Yeah, I know. You're just like, I get that you don't.
Starting point is 00:54:20 You're like, oh, I've moved on. But, like, we haven't. No, radio. And this is why we still like you, ACDC. Yeah. Yeah, no one cares about your new album. But, I mean, this album, I don't mean that with Lily. Like, this album rules, but sun is in the sky or Y or Y.
Starting point is 00:54:33 You know what I mean? Yeah. The Z-M podcast network. Play Z-Z-Ns, Flesh, One and Haley. If you have listened to my podcast with sexologist Morgan Penn, season two, Morgan goes to a club, a adults-only club, and partakes in some sexy wrestling. Now, I thought this was a very niche event,
Starting point is 00:54:59 but apparently Gen Z are all over this trend and are attending nights around the world called Wrestling Speed Dating. where you get into the ring with another potential single and you tussle. And if you feel a connection, then you have a little chat afterwards. Wait, I thought this story was they were going to wrestling games and like in the crowd like...
Starting point is 00:55:24 No. Because it's a fun night watching wrestling. No. They were meeting people that way. No, they are partaking. No, they are partaking. What kind of wrestling? I'll be talking Greco, Roman wrestling,
Starting point is 00:55:36 that you're, you're, a lot of wrestling, or are we talking? WWE. I think it's just tussling, some sensual tussling. Like, could you grab the table and chairs and smash it on the head? I don't think we're doing, yeah, I don't think we're doing sort of like elbows into ribs and whatnot. Right, okay. But it's, uh, in a, uh, wrestling speed dating is a company that's started it.
Starting point is 00:55:54 This is in the States, but it's spreading around the world, an attempt to bring the romantic vibes from dating apps back to real life, pushing people together in a more loose and fun way rather than like a rigid, and stunted app. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they have these silly nights where you can get dressed up, you can wear your masks and your bikini tops and your shorts and whatnot and really get to know something.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Yeah, I guess you'll find if you've got a connection pretty quickly, won't you? Yeah, we did something kind of odd like this at drama school where we met each other, you peer yourself up with a stranger in a movement class and you had to sort of roll around, on and within each other to sort of connect. Right. So I sort of get the idea that you're like,
Starting point is 00:56:43 oh, you're sort of touching and rolling in a bit of playful tussling. Yeah. Well, long-time listeners of the show will know that your brother met his now wife at a wrestling chat room. Chat room. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:55 So maybe there is something in the whole wrestling thing. So it would be, that would be the next step up is not just like we're enjoying watching wrestling, we're enjoying getting in and just sort of having a little play. A precursor to a dry hump. Yeah. Now this person, there was someone wrote an article, like a journalist went along to one of these nights
Starting point is 00:57:10 and said it was like a lot of fun and there was lots of like sparks because everyone just found the whole thing quite silly. But you have a little wrestle. I mean, obviously you don't want to like punch them in the face and take them down and, you know, make them black out in a head grip. But I mean, people will try anything for love once. The ZM Podcast Network.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Play ZM's Flash for Hon and Haley. Okay. Just be have fun with us. I missed the blood noon last night. I set an alarm for the blood noon. No, no, no, no. I miss me, no, no. Just having a bit of fun with this break.
Starting point is 00:57:43 I set an alarm and it went off. I was like, no. What? For midnight. Yeah. You're mental. You're bloody mental. You can't say mental anymore.
Starting point is 00:57:52 I were mental yesterday. You went mental. I just had this moment where, and I, by the way, I've finished my menstrual cycle. You know, I've finished that. So it's not, thank you. I was going to say another ripping season. Another successful evacuation of the womb lining. Do you know it all can come out as one?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, I know. It's not good for you though. It's wild. Yeah, I know. Anyway, so this mood, I'm heading on an upwards trajectory of my mood, but yesterday came plummeting down. Oh, no, I was about to say, lacu-caracha, lacqueracca da-da-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-d. So you're now going to blame...
Starting point is 00:58:30 No, but this isn't just, this isn't a one-off. Okay. And I feel it. And particularly women will be like, we be acting crazy. Like yesterday I said, I looked at my friend in the kitchen, I said nothing will make me happy today.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Oh. I said, so don't even bother trying. But then I turned around. It was fine. And then I saw the moon and I was like, oh, there she is. Like, this is why. And women say this all the time.
Starting point is 00:58:53 You just start acting crazy. I want to know from our listeners right now. What are you blaming on the blood moon? 9-6.96. Now we have had some messages in. Let's go through those My partner has casually mentioned my foul mood So I think I'll blame the moon
Starting point is 00:59:07 Why not? Yeah, blame the moon Yeah, rather than telling With the bigger issue of hand Honestly If your menstrual cycle sinks up with the moon Run For the hills
Starting point is 00:59:16 Yeah, because of the bears Yeah They can Yeah They'll eat yeah Heidi said I got a speeding ticket Last night at 11pm I gave the reason for speeding
Starting point is 00:59:27 As the Blood Moon He didn't work No Right Probably haven't heard that one before though. No, yeah, sorry I was speeding. The Blood Moon's made me crazy. May said my dog digging holes in the
Starting point is 00:59:37 F-in front yard. I'm going to blame that on the Blood Moon. Yeah. How of dog is it? Just got a text and I invited my ex over last night. Must have been the Blood Moon making you crazy. What a terrible choice. What a terrible decision. We don't know what we're doing. It's the blood moon. There's a lot. I know. Hundreds. Yeah. That's not.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Thousands. But the Blood Moon made you do it. The Blood Moon made you do it. So you don't have to carry that guilt today. Yeah. That's the Blood Moon. Same of that. I'm currently running late for work and I'm taking time to respond to you guys. I'm going to blame this on the blood moon. Yeah, that's fair.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Actually, your poor time management, but sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people messaging in that their babies were very restless. Oh, okay. Babies have that sense. Babies no moons. Blood moon. It's because babies are 70% cheese and as is the moon.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I don't think that's, I don't think either of those facts are true. Who went to Otago Medical School? Not you. Me and you. Me and Haley. And not Fletch. You just joined us on the show. We're not only silly billies on the radio, but two of us.
Starting point is 01:00:31 We're a doctor people. But we chose entertainment. Yeah, you gave away that career. Laughter is the best medicine, they said. Yes. And so we said, we say no more. And then everyone laughed and no one had anything wrong with them. So I was like, I guess that's all the proof I need.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I thought it was antibiotics. No, no, no, no. Turns out it's gags. That's silly. That's round earth speaking. My toddler getting chicken pox. I'm going to blame that on the Blood Moon. You know there's a up the nose now for that.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Vaccination. Yeah, there's like a vaccination. you can get your kids not to get chickenpox. Oh yeah. I'd recommend that. Yeah, that's the way that they reckon lots of vaccinations are going. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Up the nose. Because so many people are scared of injections and that puts people off. Yeah. I'm sick on my birthday week and I'm definitely blaming the blood moon. It's a great idea, guys. Well, no, don't think I think the moon.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Happy birthday, though. Oh, happy birthday. Happy birthday. That's a blood moon. We've got a fellow Pisces. My mum's birthday on Friday. She said, I'm no longer going to be going to be 6-7. That's what she said.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Oh, no. So it's reached there. It's reached there. It's reached there. I reckon it was definitely not reached there. We're definitely done with that then. If none is doing six-seven, we are. The Z&M Podcast Network.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Play ZDM's FlashForn and Haley. Still a little poll today. When taking photos, do you have a good side? Yeah. We've had a few interviews with celebrities before and they're like, no photos until they're ready. Like, their management will be like, no photos without ready. And you always see them like pick their sign.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I always remember just before we interviewed Arianna Grande in Sydney, there was a big news story about how she always had a side. Her side, yes. And then I noticed that she did. She did favour a side. And Baby Rexa. Oh yeah. Was another person who famously had a side?
Starting point is 01:02:31 Yep. That they like to be photographed from? But I don't know. I don't think so. I don't have a lot-sided face. My face is like symmetrical, so it doesn't matter. I've just got this one tooth that like sits back a bit. And if you get me from this side, sometimes it looks like a shadow.
Starting point is 01:02:45 So you've got to go that way. not minga right does that work for all of our photos you're always on that side yeah yeah so that works that's the presenting side what about you vaughan mong mong mong yeah minga all round you don't like photos do you
Starting point is 01:03:01 oh 360 minga 360 looks like you're not good at sex despite the despite the rumours that you are you've got a face it makes it look like you're not so it's my face because I'm trying to get to the bottom of this problem yeah right what exactly about me
Starting point is 01:03:14 looks like I'm not good at sex. It's sort of a combination of the eyes, nose and mouth and jaw and ears and stuff. So if I cover one, does it like...
Starting point is 01:03:26 It's gotten worse. Oh no, yeah, that's worse. It's covering the eyes is worse. Yeah. No. Covering the nose. It's just the combo. I think just move on.
Starting point is 01:03:34 We'll never know. I do really want to know. It's just an essence. Yeah. It's an essence. Jeez, Louise, you can't change your essence, can you? No. When taking photos, you have a good side,
Starting point is 01:03:44 58% of people said no. 26% of people said, yes, it's my left side, and 17% said, yes, it's my right side. Wow, okay, so a lot of people do have a side. Yeah. Was my right side until my boyfriend's lazy eye started acting up, so I switched to my left. That's how I knew I loved him. Change something so important without even thinking twice. Wait, so what?
Starting point is 01:04:08 So she's like, turn your face away so now I can see your lazy eye, and I'll sacrifice my better side so no one sees your lazy eye. You're saying that like you're a good person. No, but that's love. She is a good person. She's hiding. You're saying hide your lazy eye to the person you love. Yeah, but if we're taking a photo,
Starting point is 01:04:25 you know. I wouldn't do it. Until my boyfriend's lazy eye started acting up. The poor guy's like, man, I've got this eye thing and I'm not feeling great about it. And she's like, it's acting up. I can see it. You're a minger.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I don't know. I just, it sounds like she wanted to come across as a good guy. I think she's the villain. I just let the lazy eye out. I'd put my good side out there. Yeah, same. Yeah. Because actually, if you're looking not your best, I'm looking even better.
Starting point is 01:04:48 You're looking even... All right. Because do you do that thing in a group shot where you only look at what you look like? That's what everybody does. Yes, and you have uploaded abhorrent photos of me before. Excuse me. Because you're all looking tanned and bustle or something. I am hosting a video on my main grid of your nungers.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yeah, that's right. You both got my nungers in your main grid. Because you made the profile of that shared video, your nungers. And it's really putting off the grid. Yeah. Well, could it be argued that's her good side. The good side of my face is my nungus. Yeah, it's the underside.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Ange says, front on, baby, that's my good side, but also slightly from above, as the girlies all know. And the boyfriends of Instagram simply must learn. Slim the door. Carol said, I've got a bigger gap in my teeth on the left, so I tend to favour my right. But really, if you look, but really, if I look like I've only got one chin,
Starting point is 01:05:38 then I'll consider that a win in a photo. Yeah, me too. I'm always the one behind the camera are taking the photos. Oh, you've got to be in there. No, you've got to get, yeah, that's the worst. You're going to come home from a holiday and you've got no photos of you.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. I'll always if I'm out somewhere and I see a family and dad's taking the photo or mom's taking the photo. Do you want me to take it? Same photo. Because it's like, get in the photo. Like, you don't want a photo of the family holiday
Starting point is 01:06:03 or the friend group and you're not in it. Handy for after the divorce though. The good call? Handy after the divorce. Just mom, just dad. Yep. Leave the kids. in both photos.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Maybe get rid of the kids as well. Is that a hard launch? Divorce really ruins photos. Oh, you've already launched that? Yeah, I already launched that. Really ruins the family photos. That professional shoot you had. Left,
Starting point is 01:06:29 says Joanna, only for my good eyebrow. My double chin is still there no matter. A lot of double chin reports. Good eyebrow. My good side is my back side, says Carl. I find if you've got double chin, a drone shot from above is really good. and far away.
Starting point is 01:06:45 My space was really my time. Great. Hard to get the double chin from that angle. My face is so asymmetrical that I looked like different people from each side, says Hannah. That's good. You're a two for one.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Yeah, facial recognition is sort of trouble with you. Yeah. Also, like, your partner could switch your face side. It's like seven to three way. Ruben said, no, I'm a minga. Another minga 360. Oh, Kilda. A minga from all sides, says Ruben.
Starting point is 01:07:09 You are welcome here. I just had to look in the mirror to confirm it's my left. side. I have a millennial side parting which looks odd from the right side, so go from the left side, says Asia. But is that your left or the mirrors left? You might be... You're right, you're nominating your less side. And Jess said, I can't
Starting point is 01:07:27 believe most people don't have a good side. Left side, I'd be pushing maybe a 4-8-10, but then right-side them at least a negative 3. Oh, now, come on, I doubt that. We don't have a 360 minga there. Yeah, yeah. 3-60 minger. So for us, a little poll today, we asked when taking photos, do you have a good side? and 26% of you said, yes, it's my left.
Starting point is 01:07:44 The ZAM Podcast Network. My mother made a purchase. Now, she doesn't usually do this, but she visited the Wonderland that is Temu. Oh, wonderful. Yeah, yeah, Temu. And she got a collection of things, one of which was those,
Starting point is 01:07:58 and you would have seen these advertised, the proper ones, nose magnets for snoring, where you, like, put on a sticky pad on one side, put on a sticky pad on the other, you put on this little bridge thing that has the magnets, and as soon as they lock in, They sort of suck your nose apart.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Oh, okay. So we were having a little play around with them yesterday. And I tell you what, I don't, I don't even know, you don't have to be a snorer and I would recommend these. Really? It was elite breathing. Elite breathing. Elite breathing. Top-tier breathing.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It was, it led in so much air into my nose that I got dizzy really quickly. Have you got small nozzies? Small nostrils are a deviated septum perhaps? No. I think just Oh no that It's a clog No you've got something in there
Starting point is 01:08:44 That sounds like a ratly flannel Yeah like when you go in When you breathe in This is me Yeah there's something Something ratlin Okay this is me This is me
Starting point is 01:08:53 You've got a same rattle Okay this is me Vaughn Better You're the best No you went all This is me going Okay this is me Oh yeah your sounds
Starting point is 01:09:04 Flappy It sounds clogged It sounds clogged and flappy I'm flappy Famously So When you do this, it like pulled it apart. It makes it give you a wider nose appearance.
Starting point is 01:09:16 It was elite breathing. Literally I was getting too much oxygen. I had to sit down. So is this a problem for you sleeping and snoring? Oh, I've definitely become a snorer. Do you know the other day I thought I heard my tummy rumble when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. And I heard this like,
Starting point is 01:09:30 I was like, man, my tummy's going for it. And then as I left, I passed my mum and dad's bedroom. I was like, oh, yeah, it's my mum. You've got a mum snorer. And I remember, she never snored when I was young, but I remember my nana was a roarer. Yeah, really? The whole of Dargival heard her.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yeah. And so I think I'm just, I might be slipping into that female role in my family. Oh, no. I'm sorry. Uh-oh. Thank you, yeah. The matriarch of snoring. I literally had a hook up last year in the morning, kiss me on the cheek and say, get a sleep apnea mask.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And let me. One of those little seatepat machines. One of those little nose masks. It was like, all right, darling, you need one of these. Not my proudest moment. The nose magnet, have you tried it at night? No, I didn't like the feeling of the sticky. Does it happen further back?
Starting point is 01:10:20 I think it's in my throat. There. Yeah. It's there. Not great. Not hot, oh. No, not at all. Hey guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough.
Starting point is 01:10:31 They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends. So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the best. the shitter podcast that the company makes. Yeah, same. You know, the real losers out there. Same. Yeah, like, no, no, we'll just...
Starting point is 01:10:45 Yeah. Maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Oh, no, but only after ours. Yeah, nah, no, don't do that. And not more than ours. Give us a sexy little review though.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
