The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's.
Great things are brewing.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Uh-huh.
I've got a lot of paint in my engagement ring.
I just see you picking out the paint.
Picking out paint.
Take it into the jewellers and get it cleaned in that
shaky machine. Yeah, I do need to take it
to the jewellers. Why do you wear all
your, you've ruined so much stuff
painting. Your Birkenstocks are
ruined. Jewellery's fine
because you can get it off easily, but yeah,
I know. It's just because you start something
and then you're like, oh, shit, I wasn't wearing that.
I'm wearing a nice t-shirt. Whoops.
That's a Renault tee now. Yeah. How are you, my boys? Really good. Yeah, oh, shit, I wasn't wearing that. Oh, I'm wearing a nice T-shirt. Whoops. That's a Renault T now. Yeah.
How are you, my boys?
Really good.
Yeah, good?
Okay, thanks.
Okay.
I feel wet.
Why?
It's humid.
I feel like it's so humid,
it feels like I ran through a bit of a shower to get to work.
Ew.
Yeah, like I feel humid.
That's quite gross.
That's quite gross.
I spent a lot of yesterday wet
because it was raining
And I was getting stuff done
Right okay
And North Face
Didn't fly me a jacket
Oh I know
I guess I'm not cute enough
They did not
No
The top six is coming up
It is
I wrote it last night
I can't remember what it was
This is a club
I believe in Brisbane
Correct
Yes
Yeah
That I said they were
Going to be staying open
Until 9am in the morning
I think it's on the Goldie I think it's on the Goldie.
I think it's on the Goldie. 9am.
Nothing good happens. That's what I'm
That exactly. Nothing good happens after
what time? 2 o'clock? No.
I would dare I say midnight. Yeah.
But of the top six things that happen in clubs between
3am, the usual shut time
and 9am.
God, I can't.
I just know. Do you remember
the days when you'd be like walking home and people
were going to work and you're like, ugh.
That's only happened to me a couple of times.
You get home as the sun's coming up.
Horrible feeling. There was just one
bar in Wellington that stayed open until I think
8am or 7.30 before the laws
changed and it was horrendous. I even see
people sometimes coming, it'll be Thursdays
because I think Wednesday's student night is a big night, Wednesday.
So on Thursday going to work, there's always people getting kebabs,
and I'm just going to work.
I've just woken up.
I'm just like, what is happening?
And you're like, I'm a bit better than you.
I'm a bit better than you.
Slightly.
Although a breakfast kebab does always look appealing on a Thursday morning.
Next on the show, why you should say good morning
and why you should chat to strangers.
I do this.
I do this every day.
I make friends very quickly.
I feel like I do it more when I'm like travelling
or I'm just in a new place.
I'll be like, hey, or I'll talk to people and ask for directions.
But when you live in, I don't know, I just don't.
Okay.
Well, apparently, according to you, you should,
and I'm looking forward to hearing why.
Me too, Vaughn.
It's, well, a huge study of 60,000 people,
included a lot of people from Britain,
and it basically has found that talking to strangers,
chatting with people that you don't know,
gives you a major happiness boost.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I'm imagining only just like scratch the surface of a chat
because otherwise you're going to find something you don't like about them.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
You're not like, oh, how are you?
Good.
Oh, what have you got there?
Oh, it's a baguette.
Oh, yum. That looks good. Yeah, except%. 100%. How are you? Good. Oh, what have you got there? Oh, it's a baguette. Oh, yum.
That looks good.
Yeah, except those bloody French.
Oh, wow, yeah.
What are you saying about the French?
Although they did, like, really go to town on our coral atolls
testing their nuclear weapons, so maybe they've got a good point.
Carry on, sir.
The anti-French.
The rainbow warrior.
Remember that?
Yeah, actually, you know, this guy, he's got a good point.
Best friends.
The bloody French.
What are they saying?
How long does it take you to make an impression of someone?
It's like, it's seconds, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
Well, they-
I like my Make America Great hat, dude.
Sam, I like the way Slogan tees that come up.
Oh, God.
No way.
It says, the man, the legend.
Yes.
Pointing towards my penis.
So the team analyzed data from two groups that had been asked about their
interactions with people they didn't know.
And the results,
which were published,
said that those that had conversations with strangers enjoyed greater life
satisfaction.
Yeah.
So talk to people you don't know,
say hello.
But then I feel it's a fine line between that.
And then someone thinks you're a creep just to saying hello.
Yeah. Yeah. It's how you do it.
I feel like chewing your hair off.
I love that.
I always make friends with people wherever I go,
and I do.
I get a little mood boost.
I'm a happy person in general.
I like to have little chats and yarns of strangers
and find out what their day is.
We always have a nice little interaction
with our security guard every morning.
No longer a stranger, but he tells us what day it is. Yeah, that's not security guard every morning. No longer a stranger.
Yeah, but that's not a stranger though.
That's a friend.
That's a friend slash work colleague.
So do we stop teaching our kids about stranger danger?
And just let them tell anybody.
No, still teach them about stranger danger.
Yeah, right.
But yeah, I don't know.
I just feel like people less and less are just talking to other people that they don't know.
Yeah, definitely.
I found that in the lockdowns when you go out walking.
Man, I used to get so annoyed when they wouldn't say hello.
Well, that's because they didn't want you spitting the disease on them.
I'd be like, what's up?
What's up, guys?
And they'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'd be like, God, you're rude.
So.
Achoo.
Achoo.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Yesterday we put on Home Alone because we got a Christmas
tree and we started
decorating and the girls were like, remember it's our tradition?
It's not.
I love when kids say that. It's a tradition.
It's not. They've seen some
family on YouTube or something
that do it. Remember it's
our tradition? It's like, no. It's their time of the year though. We watch Love it. Remember it's our tradition?
It's that time of the year though.
We watch Love Actually.
Well that's going to be on TV soon so I'll watch it with the ads.
Thank you very much.
Well thank you for supporting the advertising industry.
You're such a traditionalist. I'm a traditionalist at Christmas.
You watch it.
And I always forget to watch TV on Christmas Day, the day where there's no ads.
Yeah, you've got to have sound and music.
Sound and music rules.
Aaron's family's Christmas is sound and music every year. TV on Christmas Day, the day where there's no ads? Yeah, you could have Sound of Music. Sound of Music rules. Oh, yeah.
That's Aaron's family's Christmas is Sound of Music every year.
Right.
Turn it off before the Nazis get there.
That's their favourite bit.
They're quite a fan.
They like where the Nazis stomp in.
Well, Home Alone's a classic Christmas film.
So good.
It went on yesterday and this happens every year. They'll be like, how did Kevin's dad afford that house?
Macaulay Culkin and Catherine O'Hara reunited.
He got a star on their Walk of Fame.
It's just weird.
He only just gets it now, but then I always forget that they have to pay for these.
Yes.
Someone has to.
Someone has to.
Someone has to.
Someone can pay for it for you, but someone has to pay. Really has to. Someone has to. Someone can pay for it for you but someone has to pay. Really?
Yeah. It's not
just like some thing,
some organisation that are like, okay, let's
honour some actors this year. Like an Oscar.
Yeah. Yeah. That's why
so many, if you've ever been in Hollywood, there's just
random stars for random people and you're like
what? Yeah, how'd you get that?
You've had the star all this time.
Yeah, they buy them. Yeah. Are you Googling now? Should we buy one? No, I think you've still got You've had the star all this time. Yeah, they buy them.
Yeah.
Are you Googling now?
Should we buy one?
No, I think you've still got to have...
Fletch, Fawn and Heinle.
You've still got to have like a work of...
I'm having a sheer one.
We don't need one each.
You've got to have a body of work behind you.
Like movies and...
There are radio ones.
Got a lot.
Are there?
Yeah, because when we were there in July,
we were walking down and we were like,
that's what that symbol is,
that's what that symbol is.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then there was like,
Casey Kasem had one for radio.
Yeah. Gazey Gaze of radio.
I can't wait till there's YouTube logos.
Oh, TikTok logos.
They might already be there. Punishing, punishing
TikTokers getting a star. It was,
the other thing about Home Alone was Catherine O'Hara
was 36 when she played Kevin's
mum. Yeah. And that was what people, she's 69
now. Nice. Nice. And
people are saying like, that was wild that she
was 36, mother of five.
Yeah. Living in that massive house.
With that haircut. If you're a 36
year old mother of five, you're not living in a nice
house. No. No. Because the cost
of those five children have absolutely
depleted your bank account. Well,
it's Kevin's shopping
list that is being examined.
Okay.
He goes shopping after he's left at home and he buys a TV dinner, a loaf of bread,
frozen mac and cheese, cling wrap,
half a gallon of milk, tied laundry detergent,
toilet paper, half a gallon of orange juice,
a pack of army men and some dryer sheets.
Yeah.
He hands over a $20 bill and a $1 voucher
for the orange juice and it comes to a total of $19.83.
Why is he buying
dryer sheets and stuff? You're a kid. Buy some
lollies. Well, that's what the other
person said. It's also wild that an eight-year-old would buy
anything that wasn't lollies. Yeah. So
somebody did, if it cost
at $19.83
back in the day,
they wanted to know how much it cost now.
$92.70.
Yeah. That feels right. Yeah $92.70. Yeah.
That feels right.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Okay.
Yeah.
And someone said Kevin was so responsible with his budgeting in the first episode, in the first one.
Yeah.
But then when he went to New York, he ran up a $900 room service tab.
Yeah.
Because he has dad's credit card, eh?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And everybody, that was one of the best-selling Christmas presents that year,
that tape recorder he had where you could slow it down.
Oh, yeah.
The Talk Boy, was that what it was called?
Yeah, and you push half in.
Record in and then,
this is Mr. McAllister.
So that was $900, but yeah, he spent $20 on the first one,
but now it would come to $92.70.
And that's Australian, by the way,
so I would imagine significantly more.
Yeah.
So I've just looked up.
It's $75,000 for a star on the Hollywood.
75?
75,000.
Now, that is the current price.
It's collected.
You pay for the creation, the installation,
and the general maintenance.
Oh, right.
Also, the criteria,
you've got to have a professional achievement,
longevity in the category of five years or more.
Five years?
So you've got to be done around a bit.
You've got to have contributions to the community
and a guarantee that the celebrity will be there at the unveiling.
Oh, right.
You can't just sort of have it pop up.
We can go to LA.
You know, I think we should get one.
I think we should start a give a little for us to buy it.
Of all the things happening in the world, I think that's the best thing people could give their money to.
It is time to honour us.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello.
Tempo Nightclub on the Gold Coast have announced they will be staying open until 9am on Sunday morning
and at Queensland first.
Oh my God, that is ridiculous.
I cannot imagine that.
It has been given the go-ahead for guests to party all night.
And they're celebrating.
Oh, okay.
I haven't read this part.
Celebrating in a very raunchy way.
Tempo Nightclub, their self-described home of Latin house and techno on the Gold Coast,
will be allowed to trade until 9 a.m. on Sunday starting December 2nd.
They'll be throwing a kinky BDSM-themed party where no phones are allowed.
Oh, okay.
I could get my harness out.
Oh, now you're interested. You've hooked me
actually. Hoist me up.
Hoist me up. Scotty. Literally,
a guy called Scotty's about to hoist you up
with my harness.
I've got the top six things that happen in nightclubs between
3am and 9am from a guy
who has not been there. Number six on the list.
Nothing good.
Nothing good.
What about some hot pashes though? Nothing good. Are you nothing good? What about some hot pashes, though?
Nothing good.
Are you telling me you're having a hot pash at 2.59am
and then you've got to leave?
No, it's...
The hot pashing is not...
It's not hot, despite what you think.
Humala, humala, humala.
Yeah.
As someone who has seen a photo of him
engaged in what I believed at the time to be a hot
patch.
A hot patch.
It wasn't as hot as you thought.
Have you?
Oh my God, I would never want to.
I don't want to see that.
It was not nice.
Number five on the list of the top six things that happen in clubs between 3am and 9am.
A lot of up close, right in your ear mansplaining.
Yeah, you're great.
He's right in there.
You feel the heat of his breath.
You can smell the booze.
Oh, man, that's just how it is, you know.
You've got to get on sharesies.
You download it and put some money in,
and I'll show you what ones to invest in.
Have you got some hot tips, do you?
Yeah, I've got some hot tips for sharesies.
I do.
Set up an automatic payment every time you get paid
for a little bit of money to go into shares
and then never invest it.
And then you forget about it.
And then six months later, you'll log in and be like,
look at all that money.
Yeah, I made 60 cents.
But you just forgot to invest it.
So you've actually not lost money.
You used to be a hot shares trader back in the day, Vaughn.
What's happened to your game?
It's just sitting.
It's just sitting.
Number four on the list of the top six things that happen in the clubs between 3 a.. What's happened to your game? It's just sitting. It's, yeah. It's just sitting. Number four on the list
of the top six things
that happen in the clubs
between 3am and 9am.
The sun literally comes up.
And like,
on the Goldie,
doesn't it come up
at like some ridiculous hour?
Have you been on the Goldie
when the sun's come up?
It's like 5am or something?
In the height of summer,
it would be,
it still wouldn't be
as early as New Zealand
because the sun goes right south.
442 is the current sunrise time on the Goldie.
No.
Yes, it is.
How?
Every time I've been there, I'm always like,
why is the sun up so early?
Kind of sleep, son.
They're more north than us, and we're heading into the summer.
I don't know how it works.
Daylight savings hours or something.
Current Auckland sunrise.
It'll be like six, won't it?
5.55am.
5.55, yeah, so it's an hour before us.
Oh, it's because they don't do daylight savings.
Yeah, that's why I said daylight savings.
I didn't hear that, sorry.
I wasn't listening to you.
I changed you out.
We ran around a bit of a circle.
You were mansplaining to me how time works.
Oh, I'm so sorry for mansplaining.
It was.
Is it mansplaining if I'm explaining to another man?
It is.
Oh.
I think it's just become splaining.
I think it's just splaining.
It's just splaining again.
Okay, thanks for splaining that.
Number three on the list of the top six things
that happen in the clubs between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m.
Naps in the boots.
You know someone's having a little night off.
They put their head back.
Yeah. In the bounce room and they're like, yeah.
In the bounce room,
they're like,
hey mate,
if you're asleep,
you gotta leave.
I'm not asleep.
I'm not asleep.
I'm just resting my eyes.
It is 4.45am.
I am just resting my eyes.
Number two on the list
of the top six things
that happen in the clubs
between 3am and 9am.
Don't tell me
they don't start
watering down the booze.
100%.
No, watering it down.
Handy.
Little spritz of vodka in your soda.
Yeah, exactly.
Enjoy your soda.
Thank God.
Weird, though, at that time of the morning,
hardly anyone seems to be on the booze.
But they're still wide awake.
It's weird.
Yeah, it is weird.
How are they going?
They're just drinking water.
It's hard.
Just the water, I think.
Yeah, I was going to say,
it's hard to drink around the gum.
No chewing.
Yeah, right.
Okay, that'll be it. Just water, mate. Just water, is that a thing? Yeah, I was going to say it's hard to drink around the gum. I'm not chewing. Yeah, right. Okay, that'll be it.
Just water, mate.
Just water, mate.
Go and have a couple of round of waters.
Can I have another water?
Can I have another water?
Can I have another water?
Number one on the list of the top six things that happen in clubs between 3am and 9am from
a guy that's never been there, there better be effing breakfast.
I want eggs, I want bread, I want some goddamn bacon and a black coffee.
Imagine going to a club and then getting...
No, it'd be bad brekkie.
Yeah, it wouldn't be good.
It'd be a rough brekkie.
Oh, yeah, it'd be rough, but I still reckon it'd be better than nothing.
Soak it up with a little English muffin.
Yeah, get a little something in your guts before you head home for the day.
Or straight to work.
I don't know what you've got planned for yesterday.
Maybe church.
You probably need to go to church.
Yeah.
Just for a bit of a spiritual cleanse.
That is today's top six.
Have you ever left anything at an airport?
Yes.
But I went back for it
or had them send it to me at my own expense.
I've left my noise cancelling headphones on a plane.
Yeah, I left my cell phone on a plane.
Luckily, they found it, I guess, when they were cleaning the plane.
Yeah.
And it was easy to get back.
I could just go to the property office in New Zealand.
They were great about it.
I haven't left anything major.
I have a friend who left his whole MacBook at an airport
and then couldn't get it back,
so then had to do a police report for the insurance thing.
But that's gone. I know people
because your head's just in a different space when you're
travelling. You could be tired,
you could be jet lagged, you're rushing
and then it's gone.
You leave a laptop or an iPad somewhere
you're not getting it back.
So Brisbane Airport,
they've done the...
Meow.
Meow.
Meow. So Brisbane Airport They've done the So Brisbane Airport have done this for a few years now And they're doing it again
They, after a wait time for lost property
They'll try to, you know, get stuff back with owners
But after a wait time
They sell all of the items left behind
That are worth anything
Anything like, I'm guessing clothes, cheap clothes,
they just donate to local charities.
But the lost property auction last year raised $71,000.
That's good.
So when you say raise it, they give the money to charity?
I think so.
I think they do.
I think they do.
There's a company. So this year, loads of items, 673 lots will be auctioned off by Lloyd's Auctioneers.
And there's a link on this website.
So I've gone to the link.
Man, there are so many.
I know you've had to buy a new one of these.
Were those Apple pens?
Oh, Apple pens, yeah.
Are they for iPads?
Yep.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So many of them left behind.
Also, like, there are iPhones and iPads? Yep. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So many of them left behind. Also, like, there are iPhones and iPads,
but can you buy an iPad or an iPhone if it's locked?
Locked.
And even use it?
Don't know.
If someone's like, because, you know, when you lose your phone,
you can go to find my iPhone and you're like, lost mode,
or erase everything and lock it,
so it becomes completely useless to anybody.
So, yeah, I'm not sure.
You'd be wanting to do that, eh?
Erase everything.
Just get it gone.
Get it gone. Me? Put it in the bin.
Yeah. There is a purple
BMX bike. Cool.
Is that the airport? Yeah, I don't...
So apparently as well, it's not just people
leaving stuff at the gates. It's people that
go to check in and they're oversized
and they're like, rather than pay
hundreds of dollars
for excess luggage, they just leave it next to a bin.
Yeah.
And the airport then get it,
which I'm assuming is maybe what happened with this bike and some kid.
Same with, there's a few scooters as well.
Oh, wow.
Loads of UE booms.
So much jewellery.
Why are people, like, look at all these lots of jewellery.
Are people just taking them off and...
Do you take them off for the beeper?
Maybe.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe some things have a bit of metal in them, so they're...
I've got one bracelet and I don't know which one.
I wear four bracelets every day.
I don't know which one sets it off,
so I always take all of them off.
Yeah.
If I can be bothered.
I don't feel like a rubdown.
So many laptops, so many shoes,
so many designer goods as well.
And, yeah, you can... I want. And yeah, you can bid on it.
I think Auckland Airport should do this.
Yeah.
Because surely they'd have just as much stuff.
Yeah, totally they would.
But yeah, there's a link online.
The NZ Herald has a story if you want to start bidding on some of this stuff.
Then you're going to get postage here.
Or if you're going to Brisbane to pick it up.
But then ironically, you'd probably leave it at the airport. Yeah. That's're going to get postage here. Or if you're going to Brisbane to pick it up but then ironically you'd probably leave it
at the airport.
Yeah.
That's called
the circle of life.
Yeah.
You go and buy something
that someone left
at the airport,
you take it on,
then you leave it
at the airport
and someone else gets it.
These things don't want
to be owned.
They don't.
They're happy with
their freedom.
Please just let me roam.
Yeah.

And actually clean.

Not soaking your own filth.
But I love, like I've had baths.
A relaxing bath.
I love a relaxing bath.
Love watching something, a little bit of candlelight.
If I'm ever at a hotel and there's a bath,
I'm jumping in. Well, see, hotel baths
are always... But they're feral.
A hundred people have been in that in the last
week. Yeah. Oh, you give it a wipe.

Shelly said

I enjoy a soak In a relaxing bubble bath.
Most nights?

So you.
That'd be good for your body.
Yeah, it would be.
Victoria says, I'm so short that when I'm in the bath, I slip down and it's uncomfortable and I don't want to drown in my own bath.
I've got the opposite problem.
I was just literally talking about, because we've got a short bath.
Yep.
I just never have a bath in there.
It's a short little bath.
It was made to fit in there.
Do you need to borrow some money?
You're right.
Yeah.
Do I have to give it back?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
I don't want that.
Oh, bugger.
This is more of a loan.
Oh, yeah, I don't want the bank.
It's not embarrassing.
Got a monopoly on that.
It's not embarrassing to get a bath extension.
Just add a couple of more inches.
There's no room. Okay. It was literally made to fit in the gap. Just add a couple of more inches. There's no room.
It was literally made to fit in the gap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love seeing Aaron in people's short baths.
Tiny baths.
He's got the longest legs you'll ever see.
It's funny.
Yeah.
Well, we were talking about it, and my mate, his partner's really short,
and he said that's her big fear is that she doesn't like long baths because she slips.
Yeah.
She's got a brace against the end. Oh, my God. said that's her big fear is that she doesn't like long baths because she slips. Yeah. And she's going to
slip down, yeah.
Oh my God.
So she's got to like
wedge herself against the sides
to stop herself
from slipping down
in a long bath.
Never thought about that.
I never thought of that.
Short people in baths.
But you think
when you were a kid
and you were mucking around
in the bath
and you slipped
and you were just like
and the water was like
splosh, splash.
Yeah, that was fun.
You used to get
told off so much
when you were out
of the bath.
Tegan said,
it's got to be showers.
F lying in your own filth.
Oh, okay.
Livvy says,
ooh, bath's a disgusting
thing lying in water
that's been around
and up your bits
and butthole.
Especially washing
your face, hair, body
with that same water.
It's a big no thanks.
I try not to think
about that when I swim at the public pool.
No, that's got chlorine. You're right.
Yeah, true, true. That's the smell, though.
You can only smell chlorine when it's reacting to the
bacteria and the filth
that it's trying to kill.
Takes too long to fill a bath, says Linda.
Damn right, Linda.
Showers all the way, washes away the daily
failures. Who wants to soak in your own
failures? That's what Christmas with the family is for.
That's from Mason.
Right.
That's all right, buddy.
Wow, wow.
That's all right, buddy.
You're doing great.
You're doing great.
Try doing an everything shower
in a bath.
What's an everything shower?
Oh, like shaving legs,
pits.
Shaving legs,
washing hair,
washing face,
doing a mask.
Oh, the hair will be
floating around you.
Yeah, I've shaved my legs
in a bath
and then when you drain the bath, all the little hairs.
Oh, stuck to the outside of the bath.
Like a little ring around the tongue.
Gross.
Courtney said, shower 100%.
You can block the plug and make a mini bath.
When did the shower, like, happen?
When did it become a thing?
Yeah, because back in your oldie days, it was just baths.
It was just the bath.
You'd pay 25 cents.
I watch a lot of Westerns.
They would pay 25 cents to have a body of water heated in an old tin tub.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
And then wash off their day's sins.
Yeah, right.
1767 was the first patent for a shower by William Fetham.
Right.
A stove maker.
Wow.
Yeah, it's like a cage.
Like, would it have been the 70s, 80s where it was?
When did humans start showering?
You know those shower mixes that are famous?
You know those red
Did you see it on Time Spanner or something last night?
I did, yeah
The Felton, no, what was it called?
No, even in the late 1940s
Baths were still the preferred
Yeah
All my grandparents were big bath people
Yeah You're saying, my mum baths were still the preferred. Yeah. All my grandparents were big bath people.
Yeah.
You're saying,
my mum,
mum loved the,
I'd say mum had a bath just as much as a shower
when we were growing up.
I always remember seeing,
walking in and seeing
your dad in the bath
and being like,
the willy bobs.
And floats.
Floats.
That was when you said before
about Aaron in a short bath
and I'm like,
his penis would definitely
be out of the water.
Bobbing.
Yeah,
bobbing around there. Bobbing around water Bobbing Yeah, bobbing around there
Bobbing around
Bobbing and jobbing
Sophie says
I have endometriosis
and a scorching hot bath
is the only thing
that helps some days
Yeah, like period pain
Yeah, hot bath
Oh yeah
Yeah, that's a hot bath
Maybe just get the hot shower
Singe your ovaries
Yeah, really let them know who's boss That is Silly Little Pole Maybe just get the hot shower. Singe it over his head.
Really let them know who's boss.
That is Silly Little Pole.
I think we all remember when former Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, hammered in a nail into a fence.
Do you remember that?
He did this and the nail
was there and there was a close up
and it went whack above, whack below.
He was putting up a election billboard.
Yes, whack to the side and everyone
went, oh. And that was why
Christopher Luxon used an impact driver.
Yeah, right. Line that up
straight in. Because he's like, fool me once.
Well, the Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom has, United Kingdom? Prime Minister of. Well, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has...
United Kingdom?
Prime Minister of...
Who is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?
Rishi Sunak.
Yeah.
Rishi Sunak.
They went through a lot there.
Yeah, no, they did.
I just cashed my chips.
No, but I was like, United Kingdom, that's what you'd call it, isn't it?
No, I know you were thinking, is it the...
England.
Is it England?
England or the...
Yeah, it's the UK.
It's the UK.
It's the whole UK.
Thank you for clarifying.
I stand for Scottish independence.
Good for you.
Just going to chuck that out there.
Let's not get too political on it.
Well, he was caught in a very similar situation using a hammer
as, you know, one of those things like,
I'm taking part in a fun sort of crafternoon with something.
Yeah.
And everyone was like, what is happening here?
Now, you all know the hammer has a head and a sort of a hook bit.
Yeah, a claw.
A claw to get the nails out and you use the head to hit the thing.
No, not old Rishi Sunak.
He's hit it on the side, sort of like a wide,
using the wider part of the side plate to whack in it.
That's odd, isn't it?
That's even someone who's never used a hammer
would probably figure it out.
It's one of the oldest tools of time.
Yeah.
And he's been caught hammering on the side.
Was he like, maybe, I don't want to miss.
So he used the wider part.
I'll use the big part so I definitely hit it.
Is that his thinking there?
But I think it would be harder. Yeah. It's a big part, so I definitely hit it. Is that his thinking there? But I think it would be harder.
Yeah.
It's a weird bit.
How is he not using?
Yeah, that's odd.
How does he not know how to use a hammer?
What was he doing?
Hammering?
Just a nail.
Just a nail?
Yeah.
Just trying to play devil's avocado here and see maybe there was,
and it's not like a special hammer.
It's just a standard hammer.
There's no thing on the side.
No, there's a.
Nothing, nothing.
There's a head and a flat bit at the end.
Why would he use the side?
That's so weird.
It's so weird.
And then everyone, like, no one cared what the situation he was trying to promote was
or what the news story was.
They were just like, hammer, hammer.
You're using the hammer wrong.
And again, if it was a complicated tool.
Yeah, it's gone crazy online.
It's gone viral.
Everyone's like. The longer video clip shows the Prime Minister was told to use the flat part of the hammer What?
What?
Who told him that?
That's just spin
I reckon publicity's come around and been like
No this is a particular type of hammer
And he's been advised to use it as such
He's not a fool
Vote for him basically
Anyway I want to know because I always find it funny
when you watch people who just don't know how to use things.
Well, I hear because politicians always do this.
Like they'll visit a farm or they'll visit a factory
and have a go at something.
You're like, oh, just don't.
You look like a child at like manual in primary school.
I want to know what you don't know how to use.
Is there a simple everyday item that you're like,
I just can't figure it out?
Or maybe you were using it wrong until someone told you,
actually, that's not how you use it.
I definitely used a peeler, a vegetable peeler wrong
because there's a particular way you're supposed to do it.
I used to be like, man, peeling vegetables is really hard.
Yeah, but then those peelers came out that could do both ways.
Yeah, right.
Those were rad. But the one-way ones that could do both ways. Yeah, right. Those were rad.
But the one-way ones, I was always going the wrong way.
Yeah.
And it would be like chip, chip, chip, chip, chip.
And I was like, Nana Peel's the Kumita different.
And you never thought to, like, go the other way or change it up.
Well, then eventually you figured it out and you were like,
well, this makes a lot more sense.
Yeah.
There's always those weird items.
But is it Shannon?
Do you know how to ride a bike?
No, Shannon doesn't know how to ride a bike.
Yeah, nah.
What happened there?
I grew up on a golf course
and we just didn't have a place to ride them.
Oh, because I've ridden a bike on grass before.
It's weird.
It's crazy.
They're sort of multi-terrain.
I grew up on a farm.
I still found a place to ride a bike.
I tell you what,
you might want to try this thing called roads.
Can you imagine my dad is a greenkeeper.
If I drove on his expensive grass,
he would be so mad at me.
And the road we lived on was like a 100K road out in Far Auckland.
Yeah, right.
Far Auckland?
Yeah, I don't know why I said it like that.
Far Auckland. Okay, so there we go. Not central Auckland. Yeah, right. Far Auckland? Yeah, I don't know why I said it like that. Far Auckland.
Okay, so there we go.
Not central Auckland, far Auckland.
Far away Auckland.
Yeah.
Okay, well, let's add that to the list then.
Shannon doesn't know how to use a bicycle.
Yeah.
Everyone, a few people texting in reminding how the Aussie PM,
what's his face?
Was it Skoma who did this when he was welding something?
And as he went to weld, he lifts up the welding.
To be able to see where to do it.
Helmet.
Idiot.
It was like, hey, that's the opposite.
Okay.
Let's take your calls.
We want you to join in and admit maybe there was something you were using for a while the wrong way.
What don't you know how to use or didn't know how to use for a while?
Have you figured it out now maybe?
0800 DALS at M is our number. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. What do you not know how to use for a while. Have you figured it out now, maybe? 0800 DALS.M is our number.
Give us a call.
You can text through 9696.
What do you not know how to use?
We want to know what you don't know how to use
because the UK Prime Minister doesn't know how to use a hammer,
it turns out.
Using it on the side.
You know what?
I'm going to come to his defence.
I just watched the video.
The jeweller definitely tells him to use the side of the hammer.
Really?
It was edited.
It was edited to make him look like a fool.
Like a fool?
Are you saying?
She said, use the side of the hammer.
He said, what?
The flat part?
She said, yeah, you just use that because he was doing like a specific thing.
Oh, yeah, but that's no fun.
Now we were making fun of him.
I won't have your misinformation spread around here,
regardless of what political side of the fence I personally sit.
Well, he looks silly. I'm better than you is what I'm saying. I personally sit. Well, he looked silly.
I'm better than you is what I'm saying.
I am better than you.
He looked silly doing it,
and they needed more explanation around the fact he'd been told.
But that's the problem.
But 100% edited to make him look uncomfortable.
But that's the problem about the times we live in
is that nobody is actually delving into the full video.
They're just seeing this tiny clip of him not being able to use a hammer
and they're saying he can't use a hammer.
And it works.
He does.
So we all know what you don't know how to use.
Yeah, because people are actually
straight up using things wrong here.
Even if there is a full video to back the...
I mean, it's just going to ruin the whole break,
hasn't it?
Well, I won't stand by and let you
handle this left-wing nonsense.
Mikey, what do you not know how to use?
I don't know how to use a knife and fork.
So, one is a pokey pokey,
and one is a slicey cutty.
Yeah, but, oh,
do I just hold them with, like, you know,
with my whole fist and upside down,
and then can't cut your food properly? like, you know, with my whole fist and upside down and then...
Nope.
Can't cut your food properly.
No, you don't stab like that.
What do you eat with?
Oh, sometimes my hands.
You sound like a hand eater.
Yeah.
No offense.
That's a high praise.
How have you never...
Have you just never been taught?
Did your parents just not teach you?
No, they did teach me,
and I even went to a private school,
and I probably should have learned there,
but it just didn't really click.
It just doesn't click with you.
Are you a left-hander?
Because I'm a left-hander, and you've got to switch them.
Maybe you haven't switched.
No, I'm right-handed.
So put your knife in your right hand,
your fork in your left hand.
Unless you're not using a knife,
and then switch the fork over to your right hand.
It actually is more complicated than you'd think.
Oh, oh.
I'll get off.
I'll try tonight.
I'll try this next time.
What about a...
You could just transfer to chopsticks.
Well, you might be ambidextrous.
Are you ambidextrous in anything else?
No, it sounds like he's lacking in dexterity.
He's got no dexterity.
He's no dexterity at all.
He's no dexterous.
Maybe a spoon is the best option, Mikey.
Oh, probably.
A spork!
What about a liquid diet of smoothies?
That could also work. Do you know how to
drink things?
I've tried that.
Or just put everything in a sandwich and eat it.
I think you're bound
for a life of smoothies and sandwiches, Mikey.
And that sounds like a great... smoothies and sandwiches, Mikey. And burgers.
And that sounds like a great.
Yeah.
I'm not mad at it.
Amazing, Mikey.
Thank you.
And we wish you well on your journey, Mikey.
Good luck.
I mean, there's nowhere to go to learn how to use a knife and fork, right?
Etiquette school.
We're talking about not being able to physically use something,
but there are a few text letters, and I appreciate it.
Someone said, I don't know how to use my emotions.
I'm 30 years old and I've got a block of concrete.
Yeah.
You just keep pushing it down.
Why don't you guys give this messenger some tips on how to use your emotions?
Oh, okay.
Because you guys are so on top of it.
Because we're so emotional.
Yeah.
No bricks here.
Well, Vaughan, you're very good with your emotions.
Why don't you just go and have a vent, have a cry.
You just cry.
That's good.
Watch Marley and me. Have a cathartic cry. No, no cry. You just cry. That's good. Watch Marley and Me.
A cathartic cry.
No, no, no, no, no, too sad.
Watch Marley and Me.
No, no, no, no, too sad.
Watch Schindler's List and Marley and Me and then we'll just get it out.
No, no, no, I was thinking an up.
Oh, right.
Gets you right at the start of that movie.
Watch one of those X Factor auditions where it's a child who's like, I'm shy.
Or a family being reunited with their father who's home from Afghanistan
and they weren't expecting him to be there.
I did.
That'll ruin you.
It will.
It's beautiful.
I'm crying.
My mum banned me from using them as I always broke them.
I think it was being left-handed that made it super complicated.
They're not made for us.
Yeah, they're not made for us.
I can't use those tyre pressure machines at gas stations.
I always feel like I'm letting out more air than I'm putting in. Yeah, same. And I think they're going to explode even though I know they're made for it I can't use those tyre pressure machines at gas stations I always feel like I'm letting out more air
than I'm putting in
Yeah, same
and I think they're going to explode
even though I know they're not
I can't
Someone said
I always like watching people
with the automatic clip
on petrol pumps
They'll stand there holding it
Oh yeah
and not putting on the clip
It took me years
But some cars
Some cars
Whose cars are filling up?
And it just would not
let me clip on the thing.
It's the angle.
No, no, no.
Oh, the angle's wrong.
Oh, yeah, and you go upside down.
That's what you do.
If you put it in an ordinary way and the clip won't work,
try putting it upside down.
All right.
Yeah, it's something to do with the air blowing back
and it disables it so that the gas doesn't just pour over it.
So what you're saying is disable the safety feature there
by putting it upside down.
No, it doesn't disable the safety feature.
It re-engages it.
Go, why don't you light a cigarette while you're pumping your gas?
No, no, no, don't do that.
Check your techs as well while you're there.
Yeah, check your techs.
You can do that.
Mythbusters blew that wide open.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
My office has a proper coffee machine for us to use.
For months I tried to use this thing
and the milk truffle would scream at me.
The entire office can hear this.
Two stories of old people ended up just going to black coffee only.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the way up just going to black coffee only. Yeah.
Yeah, that's the way to go.
Just remove milk altogether.
Someone said, turns out, Satisfyer pros are quite complicated.
Yeah.
Someone said it wasn't until I was chatting to a gal pal
and she said something about using it and I was like,
oh, I haven't been using it like that.
Now they don't go into how they were using it wrong.
How difficult are they to use?
Well, there's a bit and there's a real clear instruction
of where that goes is the AirPod bit.
But the actual buttons on it, because you push for on
and then up for up and then another thing for that.
So there are some controllers there.
It doesn't go, if you'll excuse me, it doesn't go in though, does it?
No.
Oh, no, Han, if you're putting it in.
That's what I imagine.
That's how you lost your wife. Oh, no, she's're putting it in. That's how I, that's what I imagine. That's how you lost your wife. Oh no, she's got a broad head.
That's how I lost my wife.
Now sir, I will
please ask you to, are you saying I
lost it inside myself? Yes I am.
That was my, yeah that was my,
don't put it there please. Well he says it in chest because
I would of course use a safety string.
You would tether.
I would never judge. I would tether
I would tether it to the device and I would tether it to the device
and I would tether it to the bed leg. Of course.
So that if something goes wrong, all
I have to do is waddle away and the bed
leg will do the rest. Because I'm not
an idiot. I'm not an idiot.
Well, I
don't want to use the word useless because
that's not true of our beautiful Shannon.
She has many uses, but sometimes we...
Her social media prowess is unrivaled.
Unrivaled, but sometimes, gosh, we worry for her
and her health and safety
and her ability to look after herself.
And I believe yesterday, Shannon, sweet Shannon,
you were innocently just trying to cook yourself a meal?
Yeah, some garlic bread, some Mama Fiorelli.
And the superior garlic bread of all time.
Yeah, superior garlic bread.
Other garlic breads are just too dry.
Yeah, thank you.
It's so good.
And I've been demolishing a whole roll by myself.
I don't know if that's the recommended serving size, but it's a lovely lunch.
No, it's one serving size per log.
You're right.
You'll find it is the whole bottom of the food pyramid is a Mama Fiorelli's garlic
It's just one log.
It's one log.
Yeah.
Yeah, it feels good.
But yeah, I was cooking it and then I had to do the like tray juggle, you know, like
a big flat tray.
You've got to move it around.
You've got to put something up on the top.
I was having a moment and then as I put my tray of Fiorelli's which was done up on the top a
bottle cap fell into my
oven.
Wait where did the
bottle cap come from?
A bottle of gin.
Okay.
So she's drinking
and she's cooking
Mama Fiorelli's.
yesterday it was just
open.
Oh right okay.
Wait you left a
bottle of gin open?
Yeah well no one's
going in it.
Yeah it's fine.
You put the cap on so
things don't go in.
I know.
Do you know what I mean?
But it could evaporate.
Dust?
Could it evaporate?
It was like a day.
Not at a great rate.
Not at a great rate.
But you don't want bugs or dust going in.
You put the cap on.
Who doesn't put the cap on a bottle?
I didn't realize this was the problem with my story.
There's only one part of it.
So bottle cap falls in the oven.
I start panicking.
I'm like, it's going to melt.
Upon reflection, it was metal, but it felt like get it out real quick.
So then I put my hand in an oven mitt and I try like,
like swoop it back.
Like a cat paw.
Yeah, a cat pawed it.
But as I did that, the bottom of my arm hit the bottom of the oven.
I can see that.
And I blistered the bottom of my arm.
Panicked because I burnt myself that I then hit my arm up
and then burned the top of my arm on a tray.
Look, and you've got like three burns on you.
So the top one where I hit a rack is not as bad.
Like I can touch that.
The bottom is blistered.
And I panicked because I'm not good in these situations.
Oh, this may shock you.
She's somewhat of a panicker.
So then I just put Vaseline on it because it felt like I needed to.
Have you never had a burn before?
No, I haven't.
I just put Vaseline on it.
Water, cold water.
You've got to cool down the skin.
Well, I said this, yeah, and you guys have told me this is wrong,
but I just thought Vaseline meant for everything. Because your skin is baking. Cold water, you've got to cool down the skin. Well, I said this, yeah, and you guys have told me this is wrong,
but I just thought Vaseline is good for everything.
Because your skin is baking.
I literally put, do you put V and Vaseline on a burn?
See, others think this.
You may put a thin layer of ointment,
such as petroleum jelly or aloe vera, on a burn.
The ointment does not need to have antibiotics
and some antibiotic ointments can cause an allergic reaction.
I know, but after you've cooled it down.
You have to do this after you've cooled it down.
I would assume you cool it down.
Because then it's giving you a protective layer.
Well, so then I got two ice packs after that.
That's good.
And I sandwiched myself,
but then it got really cold,
so I just took them off.
Too cold, isn't it?
Don't they encourage you to just cold water,
just tap water?
Yeah, tap water.
Or a little...
Well, then you're going to give yourself freezer burn.
Yeah, because then the Vaseline went all hard.
Now I'm at, yeah, we'll do that when you cool it rapidly.
I'm now at the National Library of Museum that's saying Vaseline
should not be used as first aid for burns.
And also ice cubes shouldn't be used as first aid for burns.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, because they just get all sticky and gross.
Well, now the blister's real hard.
I also didn't have a plaster on it.
That's what we call crackling.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Put a bit of bloody sea salt on that, actually.
Yum.
Get a bit of applesauce and gravy.
I've had it uncovered, and then I kept complaining
it kept hurting on the desk.
So, Carwin recommended I plaster it.
So, now it's protected, at least.
Plasters are one of those things.
That's what I always remember.
Your mum would give you a plaster to just
shut you up, right? You'd be like, I need this.
And she'd put a plaster on it. And then after a day, my mum
was always like, get that plaster off and let it breathe.
You've got to get it scabbed.
Heals better, yeah. Yeah, you've got to dry out because it doesn't
dry out under that plaster. And then you've got to pick the scab
every day.
You've got to pick that scab.
You've got to pick that scab. If you can resist to pick that scab. Pick it. You've got to pick it. Let it scar. You've got to pick that scab.
If you can resist it until the point where you can get it off as one,
you've done well.
You've done very well.
You've done well.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Jack.
I need to sneeze.
Pineapple.
Do your thing.
Pineapple.
No, I want to sneeze.
No, we took it away.
It was one of those ones that started building up right in the back
and it started swirling around.
It felt like it was really going to be good.
Wait, so you're sneezing and you've got a sore throat.
Yeah, dude, I've definitely got COVID.
Stay away.
Stay away.
You are not getting a sip this late in the game.
Nah, I sip glass away.
I just think it's bouncing back because I didn't have a quiet weekend.
No, you hit the clubs.
Don't you do this to us.
I want to talk now about North Face.
Yes, the jacket people. The jacket people. I don't know what else North Face. Yes, the jacket people.
Mm-hmm.
The jacket people.
I don't know what else they do.
Well, the outdoor clothing brand.
You rock a bit of North Face, Fletch.
I've got a North Face jacket.
I don't have any North Face.
Strictly South.
South Face.
You're more of a Catmando gal.
You've got lots of Catmando and a Mac pack.
More of a Catman, Macman. Yep. More of a Catmando gal. You got lots of Catmando and a Mac pack. More of a Catman, Macman.
More of a Macman.
So this American, she does travel.
She travels around and does lots of different areas.
Is she a travel fluencer?
I think that's kind of what she's aiming for.
Right.
She was hiking in our beautiful country for her birthday and she purchased a North Face jacket.
It says North Face with dry vent fabric
and it's like rain
jacket, but looking at it, you're like, ah, that's
more of a drizzle jacket.
You wear that, yeah, if it's drizzling and you're
walking somewhere. A woodbreaker, light
bit of drizzle. She said once the rain
started coming down, it wasn't waterproof
at all. I've got a bone
to pack. It wasn't a waterproof
jacket. It was a rain
jacket. Yeah. Yeah, but she did
say it's a black waterproof rain jacket.
I'd say it's more of a windbreaker.
Yeah, it does look more sort of for your hikes.
Yeah. Your walks. A little day hike.
A day hike. Not a mountain hike and not
a rain walk. Well,
North Face jumped
on it. And she posted
didn't she? She posted, yeah, and it went crazy.
And she was soggy.
And they knew where she was,
so North Face got a helicopter and flew it to her.
A replacement jacket.
An actual waterproof, one of their big red waterproof jackets.
I've got one like that.
They're amazing jackets.
But this is brilliant marketing from them. Yeah, they went one like that. They're amazing jackets. Yeah.
But they, this is brilliant marketing from them.
Yeah.
They went to the top.
Like, amazing.
Because it highlights our beautiful country.
It's everything.
It's good for them.
It's everything.
It's perfect.
Because her video, because she did it,
it was like a little TikTok about being like,
I've got beef with North Face.
I am soaking wet in my waterproof jacket.
And their response is just so good.
I believe it was dropped off by Jossie Wells.
Yes.
Yeah.
The free skier was the one that took it up to her.
Right.
Because he skis and is sponsored by North Face.
Oh, okay, right.
In a chopper.
Good from them.
Yeah, great move from them.
Great move from them.
This is so, I'm just watching the video now.
It literally looks like they're in real time responding.
They dropped in a helicopter, literally like biff the jacket at her
and get back in the chopper and fly away.
Because my Porsche isn't waterproof.
I bought a waterproof, what I was told was a waterproof Porsche.
Oh my God, that's so crazy.
I used to put the roof up, but I get wet every time it rains.
Right.
So you're just hoping they're going to bring you a porch.
I am just saying.
Do you know what's wild?
If you wanted to bring me another one.
My spa pool's not waterproof.
It's so crazy.
You don't even have a spa pool.
I know.
And therefore it's not waterproof.
It's not a waterproof spa pool.
I think what you're missing here is-
What you're going to do, hot spring spas.
I'm going to say it.
I think she got this because she's hot.
She's hot.
She's so hot.
At the end-
She's so hot.
She smiled and I was like, damn some expensive teeth think she got this because she's hot. She's hot. She's so hot. She's so hot. She smiled and I was like, damn, some expensive teeth.
How do you think she's...
Well, let's put it this way.
If you were stranded in the middle of a mountain
and you were like, I've got beef to pick with a jacket company.
Me specifically.
You.
I think you'd still be up there with a windbreaker.
You'd be sitting there waiting and be like,
in a minute now.
Well, the proof's in the pudding, Porsche.
We'll see if you support ugly people
as much as you support hot people.
While the Cosi Livi cry continues,
no sign of stopping, really.
It's going to be a slow crawl back to,
what would be the opposite of a cost of living crisis?
Cheap as life
on the fly. I don't know, it never seems
to be the opposite of it. It just always
seems to be deeper.
Like it'll go not as
bad and then worse. Yeah. And then
two steps forward and three
steps back. Well and even when
we talked, remember we talked to Bad News Brad
economist and I saw another interview as well.
Like, prices aren't going to go back down.
No.
No, they're just going to stop climbing up.
They're just going to stop climbing up.
They're not going to get,
unless they're on special, like, occasionally.
We're going to flatten.
Yeah.
Not go down.
That's just some good news for you today.
I hate to break it to you.
We are not going back to the way things were.
We're just going to stop getting closer and closer
to the doom of hell
that is the cosy living crime.
What a positive note for Tuesday.
Anyway, one sort of, what would you call it, a sacrifice, I guess,
that people are making is dating,
which is only going to further extend your loneliness.
And that body clock, that's ticking for the womb owners listening as well.
But apparently-
God, how many people are going to be having
that conversation at Christmas when they go home
and mum or grandma's like, your body clock?
Yeah, well, I don't have any grandmas anymore
or grandpas, but I am 34
and that is a great age for that chat
to really be like, well, if you're going to do it,
you want to have been doing it four years ago.
But yeah, people aren't dating
because it's just too expensive.
People are saying, you know,
a lot of people going on dates,
average respondent has gone on a number of dates
that have cost around $189 each.
What?
Now, if you think about that,
you're like, that's so much money, but no.
It's not.
Dinner and drinks.
Yeah.
That's $180.
Easy.
Perhaps an Uber.
Or a taxi to get up there and back.
Yeah.
Fanny wax.
Try a fanny wax and then that's $60.
Well, because you don't know if it's going to go more than a date.
Your time's ticking.
Yeah.
You know, and we need to get going.
We need to get mating.
I'm going to get the fanny wax.
So because of that.
I might be wrong here, but I heard the bush is that I might be wrong here But I heard the bush is back
Is the bush back?
I heard the bush is back
Well I guess
If it's expensive
No it's not an expensive thing
I just heard the bush is back
As a fashion trend
I had Dolly Doctored
Is this a huge trend up there?
The cream
The girlfriend sales section told me
They told me that bush is back
The bush is back
Bush is back
I heard the bush is back
What about all those poor buggers that lasered it off permanently?
This is why you don't do anything permanently.
Oh, God.
Because you never know.
You don't want to be out of pubic fashion.
Because the Bush is back.
Oh, no.
It's just what I'm being told.
Well, it's great news.
That's a money saver.
That is a money saver.
You could literally shave the cost off by not shaving the pubes off.
We've talked over the year or two, the last year or two,
about people going on like hiking dates and yoga dates and free dates.
Do you think there's just more of that happening?
There's more of that, but in general, people are just dating less.
It's too expensive to frigging leave the house.
It's too expensive just to live.
Sit on the couch, drink your water, watch your free-to-air television,
listen to your free-to-air radio, and eat an egg.
That's the future. Have you seen how much eggs aren't cheap?
Eat a can of rice, I don't know. It's time to reveal today's

Now, how many rolls of Christmas wrapping paper are needed to wrap
a 50% off mattress? Jeepers.
Quite a few. Quite a few. Good news is, though,
not many required for a block of butter.
Oh, yeah.
This is the wild part, I suppose,
about your country. We've gone
to war, as New Zealanders,
but it's never really come too close to our doorstep.
No.
When we think about our remnants here in Aotearoa of World War II,
it's like artillery placements or like at the mouths of harbour,
they'd build those concrete pillars and tunnels and such,
you know, prepared for an invasion, but it never really happened.
But when, like in Germany, it still happens all the time.
They'll be doing renovations on a building or building a new building.
They'll be digging and they'll be like, oh, bomb.
Yeah, true.
Or they'll just explode.
Yeah.
Because they hit a mine.
Farmers will be tilling the field and it just happens to be the, you know,
one sunk in the mud or whatever.
And then this was the one time that the plough hit it,
and a boom blows up.
Wild.
Well, it happened in England.
A couple moved into a home decades ago,
and in their front yard was what they believed was like a dummy missile,
like a shell, just an empty shell,
that maybe never had anything put in it.
Right.
Because they lived near the sea
and apparently there was like a military training ground nearby
back in the day and it was just in the garden
and they're like, cute.
Cute, cute.
It's a garden ornament.
Cute.
Chuck it in the garden.
That's pretty, pretty cute.
And it's been there for, since World War I.
Oh, wow.
They moved there in 1982.
They're like, it's been there since,
it's already been at this stage there
for over 60 years.
Yep.
So,
what's the harm?
We've got a funny little garden ornament
great for yarns.
Yeah.
For some reason,
somebody saw it and was just like,
have you ever checked that?
And the owners are like,
no.
It's always just been here.
Oh, no.
So they report it and there is like a government department
that deals with this sort of thing.
It goes around and it looks at them and it's like, okay,
so this looks exactly, according to our records,
exactly like live, can we check it?
And the couple are like, yeah, of course, just have a look.
It is a live World War I bomb that has literally been sitting
at their front door since they moved in in 1982,
live and ready to go.
I hate that so much.
Because if their grandkids weren't,
because this is the sort of dumb shit you do when you're a kid,
with a hammer.
Tong, tong, tong, tong, tong, tong.
Or even like playing soccer in their front yard or something,
kicking a ball and it smacks it.
I don't know how bombs are detonated like that.
Is it just hitting it, shocking it?
I don't know.
I guess after all that time it would be quite unstable too, wouldn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
So it could just go off at any time.
This is a nightmare.
Then they looked into the records of how it got there.
And it turned out that during World War I,
this guy who delivered lemonade
saw it and was like,
that's cool,
and picks it up,
puts it on a horse cart,
takes it miles back up the seven mile road,
which at the time on the back of a horse cart,
very bumpy.
And it's just like perfect.
Plonk, puts it in the garden
and there it sat. Plonk, pl it in the garden and there it's sat.
Plonk, plonk, plonk.
Yeah.
What?
He just wanted an ornament.
Oh no.
That is wild.
I don't want that.
I don't want that.
And so obviously they don't have this on their back doorstep anymore.
No, it got removed.
Yeah.
And it got destroyed.
Thank God.
For the best.
Yeah, it's for the best, guys.
They're like, oh, really made our garden look spectacular.
Well, we this morning would like to know if you've been close to danger
without knowing it.
Again, we're not expecting World War I, unexploded World War I.
I am.
You're expecting unexploded World War I?
I'm expected unexploded.
Don't call it if you've got anything else.
That's all we want.
Explosions.
World War I only.
But you hear about people who...
Oh, I'll accept grenades.
Someone else comes home and they're like,
can you smell gas?
And because the person's been in the house
the whole time with the gas on,
it's just like a frog in boiling water.
They don't know because it's been slowly leaking.
Or their nose is blocked
because they've got the flu or something.
And they're sitting in a house full of gas.
Yeah.
Or your car's leaking petrol.
You're sitting on a bomb.
You've got to do some renovations and you pull away the wall
behind where you've been sleeping and there's black mould.
You have a little bit of touch of mould.
And you've been breathing that in.
But the good news is, because that sounds like you're telling
a story of your life.
Yes.
The good news is the asbestos that was also flaking from the ceiling
would have neutralised the black mould.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, it would have.
It would have put a nice coating on the lung.
Yeah.
So just when you were so close to danger, but you had no idea.
Until, yeah, until after.
Until you discovered it.
Until later.
Oh, I like this.
Oh my God, that was, I was close to dying there.
I was teetering on the edge.
Like, speaking of which, there's even a story about at the moment, there's some explosive
railway detonators stolen from a railway yard in Frankton, Hamilton, and there's a picture
of them and it's like, just keep an eye out for these.
Now, if you've got a rat bag in Hamilton and check under their bed.
All I'm saying is there might be a railway explosive under there.
An update on that story.
Apparently, the lady used to bang her trowel on it to get dirt off when she was gardening.
She'd be like, dig, dig, dig.
You do.
You do.
Whenever you're in the garden
and you want to get dirt off your spade,
you whack a rock.
Oh my God.
That is so good.
We are asking you how close you have been to danger
and perhaps you didn't realise it
because there was an old nan
who had a World War I missile, was it?
Yep.
In her garden as an ornament
which she banged a tree on every day.
It was right by the back door, like the garden, the back door and she'd bang her spade on it. And it? Yep. In her garden as an ornament, which she banged a trowel on every day. It was right by the back door,
like the garden,
the back door,
and she'd bang a spade on it.
And it was live.
Yeah.
She recently discovered it was live.
They had to like evacuate the street
to remove it and everything.
Yeah.
For safety's sake.
Now, a lot of calls and texts coming in.
Jamie,
how close were you to danger
without knowing it?
Actually, it was.
It was my great uncle.
Yeah.
We passed away a couple of years ago
at like 97 years old.
And when we were clearing out the house,
he had three cases of gelignite under his bed.
Oh, jeez!
Gelignite.
Gelignite's like dynamite and it sweats, right?
Yeah, it was sweating.
It was leaking.
It was all soppy.
Because they used to use it to clear the farm,
clear the boulders off.
They'd dig a hole, stick it under a rock,
and just blast it so they had, you know, smooth pasture.
Why did he keep it under his bed?
That's no good.
I was sleeping in the room next door to it.
I don't think there would have been much left of me
if something had gone off too.
No.
Oh, my God.
No, dude, I don't think you would have.
I think there would have been a hole where the house was.
When it's sweating, it becomes, like, wildly unstable, too.
Right.
What did you do when you found it?
Did you call someone or did you just chuck it in there?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, no.
We called someone from the army was up there,
demolitions expert or explosive expert,
and they came and cleared it out.
We had to leave the property, so I don't know how they did it,
but we were miles away while they did it.
How would you do it?
You just keep them in an explosive shed
like down the farm.
He's like, no, you want to keep it warm.
Under your bed.
Under the bed.
That is absolutely wild.
Jamie, thanks for your call.
Anonymous, how close were you to danger
without knowing it?
Oh, I was right there.
Okay.
For the full disclosure,
I realise now how completely dumb it was. So, full disclosure. Okay. So, I was right there. Okay. But the full disclosure, I realise now how completely dumb it was.
So, full disclosure.
Okay.
So, I was first on the scene of quite a bad car accident,
and the car had hit a power pole and knocked it down.
Now, I always thought that to get an electric shock,
you had to touch the power lines.
So, I just hopped over them to get to the car,
and it wasn't until afterwards talking to one of the fire brigades
that they pretty much told me how completely dumb I was.
Stupid that was.
And that they arc and they surge,
and I could very easily have been electrocuted.
Oh, my God.
To such a big scale as well.
Yeah, it's one of those moments, you know, you're not even thinking.
You think, right, I've got to get to this person.
I've got to help them.
Yeah, well, you were just trying to help, weren't you?
Yeah, yeah.
And I just thought, if I don't touch them, I'll be fine.
Yeah.
Nope.
Yeah.
Jesus.
So what do they do?
They have to wait for someone to turn off the power lines,
and then they can rescue them.
Yeah.
Yeah, correct.
Crazy.
And you just willy-nilly hopped on over there.
You must have a good high jump.
You must have a good high jump.
Yeah, you must have a large gait.
No, but I landed on the ground.
It was fine.
It wasn't too high.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
It is crazy.
Lucky to have you here.
Thank you, Anonymous.
Steph, how close were you to danger without knowing it?
Yeah, I was pretty close as well.
So we were having a family barbecue.
I would have been a toddler all of two or three at the time.
And for some reason, I kept wanting to go over
and sort of be around the barbecue,
and my mum and dad kept shuffling me away.
And then while all the adults weren't looking,
I went back over, of course, because, you know,
curiosity at that age.
And mum must have looked up and spotted me
and just yelled at me.
So I ran towards her, and as I ran towards her,
the gas bottle exploded.
Oh my god.
What was causing that to
explode? No idea.
Faulty leak or something, I'm assuming.
I have no idea.
But yeah, we had a small fire.
Thankfully they had the fire extinguisher there.
They were pretty safe parents.
But yeah, it was definitely a close call.
You nearly got blown to smithereens
by a barbecue gas bottle.
You know, summer's coming up.
Gas bottle safety, everyone.
Gas bottle safety.
Gas bottle safety.
I don't know what gas bottle safety is.
You check for rust.
They won't fill it up if it's got rust around it.
They've got an expiry date.
There's a whole lot of stuff.
They put a bit of soapy water around the top
to make sure it's not leaking gas anywhere.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, there you go.
You don't want to blow yourself up.
No.
No, no.
I mean, this was 30 years ago,
so who knows what the safety was like back then.
It was a bit loose.
Oh, loose goose, mate.
That's how it was.
It was loose, wasn't it?
Steve, thanks.
You called some messages in.
Somebody said you guys should get the guy on the phone
who I just passed standing next to his burnt-out Dodge Ram
on the Auckland motorway because he's alive.
And that must have been a close call given that his car is not.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, how exciting.
Maybe he'll be late for work.
Yeah.
This is our message to his boss.
That person's going to be late.
My 24th, 25th birth, 24th birthday on the Gold Coast.
I got totally ripped on Southern Comfort and burly heads.
I was woken up by a tooting car asking if I was okay.
I was asleep balancing on the edge of the road
and beside the road was a steep grass verge
that rolls down into the mouth of a river
that is a well-known bull shark infested waterway
on Chevron Island.
Oh.
Australia, everything is out to kill you.
Oh my, literally everything wants you to die.
Yeah.
Even the bull sharks? Yes. The bull sharks. Yeah, my, literally everything wants you to die. Yeah. Even the bull sharks?
Yeah, the bull sharks.
Yeah, they do.
Sharks are right on the list.
My family was in a camper van and my son fiddled with the heater
and we all started to feel a little bit sick.
And someone went outside and came back in and said,
oh, yeah, it definitely smells of gas.
And you'd fiddle with the heater but turn on the gas
but not the pilot light.
So the gas was just like...
Tried to kill you.
Filling up the camper van.
Mm-hmm.
So there's some insane stories.
Can you read the one about the budgie?
You read the one about the budgie?
I haven't seen the one about the budgie.
Let me find it.
You keep going.
Okay.
I work in the New Zealand Stunt Guild.
Was on set doing three-story high falls into an airbag.
First two rehearsals went fine.
Third time, my mate and I landed and said,
oh, I think we fell a bit further than before.
And we climbed up through our fourth jump.
The coordinators were like, hold on, let me check the bag.
And it turned out there was a three-meter rip in the bottom of the bag.
So that third one, when we felt the ground,
it's because it had lost all of its pressure.
Oh my God.
If we jumped again,
they definitely said
it would not have filled up
any more than
just for looks
and they would have
hit the ground
and probably
very, very badly hurt.
Dad had a World War II grenade
casually sitting
on our bookcase for years.
We always thought
it was safe,
but it simply had
its detonation pin
glued shut.
My sister and I
used to play with it a lot
and chuck it around
in the 80s.
Terrible.
It is loose.
Here's my favourite.
We went to the supermarket and when we got home,
my mum had left a pot of sausages on the stove.
She forgot about it.
Gassed our entire house out and killed my budgie.
Must have been close to setting our house on fire.
Oh, my God.
The budgie got gassed out.
My family and I were On holiday in the UK
My younger brothers
Were throwing around a rock
I went over to join in
And when they threw it to me
I noticed it had a bit of brass on it
I was like that's weird
I took it over to the lifeguard
And I have never seen someone
Turn white so quickly
It turns out
It was an unexploded shell
The bomb squad had to come
And they put a thing over it
And blew it up there on the beach
Because it was so unstable
Oh my god
It was so unstable
They didn't even think
They could get it back To their headquarters They did it then And there on the beach And it was so unstable. Oh, my God. It was so unstable they didn't even think they could get it back
to their headquarters to buy it.
They did it then and there on the beach.
And my brothers were just like, wee!
Oh, my God.
We're just playing fast and loose.
We're just saxophones.
Love all these stories.
Pause the song.
I was working at Mozambique.
Pausing the song.
There's so many good ones.
This one needs a – oh, this could be our finisher.
Okay.
I was working at Mozambique and stopped for a bush bathroom break.
Oh no.
Ended up walking into the middle of a minefield.
The locals started shouting and alerting me.
I had walked 150 meters
into the middle of an active minefield.
And I had to walk back.
And you didn't set anything off.
And the exact steps that I walked through it.
Oh.
So as to not explode myself.
Those are the moments that you
start to pray to someone you didn't
believe in anyway.
Yes.
Play ZM's
Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Fact of the day
day day day
day.
Yeah.
Today's fact of the day is about bicycles.
Okay.
Just looked up a song you could play in the background.
I thought we wrote songs about bicycles.
Queens.
Queens song is the most popular song. What. I heard a song's about bicycles. Queen's. Queen's song's the most popular song.
You got a better song about bicycles?
Hey mama, ride that bike.
Ride it down to town, do what you like.
You know that song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mama, mama.
Mama, ride that bike.
Mama, ride that bike.
So this week you're doing the most expensive.
Yes.
Fact of the day.
Yes.
Is this the most expensive bicycle?
This is the 10 most expensive bicycles in the world.
Because there are some ridiculously expensive bicycles,
like road bikes.
Some of them are more than cars.
Like brand new cars.
It's insane.
I didn't realise how expensive bikes were
until I went to look to buy an e-bike
and was like, let's buy a car.
I'll just get a vehicle far faster.
Yeah.
Here's the most annoying thing about it.
Most of the bikes in the top 10 most expensive bikes
aren't practical bikes,
aren't bikes that you could ride the Tour de France on.
What kind of bicycles are they?
Annoying ones designed by Gucci.
Oh, okay, right.
There is a Lamborghini bicycle.
Stick to the trousers, Gucci.
There's an Audi sports bike.
That's an actual bike that you could ride.
Okay.
That goes for $18,000 US.
There's a Chanel bike that looks like a Dutch street bike.
Oh, yeah.
That would go for $18,000 US.
Why would you buy a bike like that?
Someone's going to steal it.
Yeah.
As soon as you put your dodgy lock on it.
Totally.
So in 2009, the closest
and the most expensive bike
for actual functioning
road bike was ridden
by Lance Armstrong in the 2009
Tour de France. Right.
It was powered by horse steroids.
I was going to say.
And blood filtering.
Do you remember everyone was wearing those orange,
I don't know, those yellow wristbands?
Wristbands, Livestrong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a bit earlier.
That was in your Lance Armstrong heyday.
I think in 2009 people had questions, didn't they?
Yeah.
And then people slowly started taking those off, didn't they,
when he got back from that?
Yes.
So the Butterfly Trek Madone bike sold for $500,000 at an auction.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah.
It did have significant opposition from animal rights activists
as it used real butterfly wings.
What?
On the bike as decoration.
That feels a bit off, doesn't it?
They had drawn the frame and wheels and then were coated with a resin.
That feels like it could have been a sticker.
It feels like it could have been a sticker.
It feels like it could have been a sticker.
But the most expensive bike is the pure 24-carat gold extreme mountain bike called the Beverly
Hills Edition, and it is worth $1 million.
Whoa.
Yep.
750 hours were dedicated to hand crafting this mountain bike.
It has a coating of pure 24 karat gold.
It looks absolutely ridiculous.
It has a chocolate brown alligator leather seat and the water bottle that comes with it, free.
They'll chuck in the water bottle.
Also gold.
Oh, wow.
It's ugly.
It sounds like it.
It's horrible.
It's tacky.
Why are expensive things often ugly?
I know.
It's just so tacky.
Money can't buy taste, you know.
They do say that.
Yeah.
I'll show you this bike.
I'm just pulling up the picture of it there.
Oh, yeah, that's hideous.
Yeah.
Ugly.
It's a huge fat tyre Like beach tyres
Yeah, beach tyres, right?
Yeah, not even like
Problem with mountain biking tyres
But fat ones
Just for some rich person
To ride it around their private island
Probably
Probably
Okay, probably
If I had a billion
It's got Richard Branson
Written all over it, isn't it?
If I had a billion
I might spend a million on a bike
No, I still would
I just simply still would
The more money you got on a bike
That's ridiculous
So today's fact of the day is the most expensive bike ever sold
was a $1 million 24-karat gold-plated mountain bike.
Fact of the day, day, day, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, They're moving back to the UK to be with family. Yep. Wait, they're just ditching the whole... That's just what they told you.
They're breaking up with the whole country.
Yep.
Wow, ouch.
Yep.
Ouch.
It's not the best version of itself at the moment.
Anyway.
Yeah, but it's the UK.
That's because that is England.
I know.
No, no.
The better of two evils.
But they left yesterday afternoon.
I cried.
And I was like...
Did you?
I thought that I would cry over Neighbours,
but these are special people.
Neighbours.
I knew you were going to sing that.
Everybody needs good Neighbours.
Anyway, we'll leave that there.
Anyway, so they've got big shoes to fill, the new Neighbours,
and we've been following the sale, like tell us anything about them
and we don't really know anything and I know that they'll be arriving today.
And it's important to me that we get along
because we're losing great neighbours
and, you know, we share a fence
and I want them to like me.
And then, you know, then I want to like them.
Well, it's hard because you've driven away
these latest neighbours.
Well, I don't know, we drove them away.
Well, you drove them out of the country.
A year-long renovation, you've driven them out of the country. A year-long renovation.
You've driven them out of the country.
Oh, yeah.
We definitely ruined their last couple of years
living in New Zealand.
For sure.
But no, we're very close.
Because you'd go over and drink with them and stuff, eh?
Yeah, they're party animals like us.
Okay.
And once we got together, there was no stopping us.
What do you know about the new people?
Because what if it's a family and they're all boring?
I know they want to renovate.
And that just feels like karma.
And that's okay.
That makes me happy.
Raise the value of my house, I dare you.
I know that they are older than us.
Okay.
And that's it.
Right.
That's it.
That's all I know.
So I was thinking, give them a day.
Like, don't go over today because they settled yesterday.
And, you know, I think they'll be visiting for the first time today.
Hectic.
Leave them be today.
But spy through your side window to see what they look like.
Well, our house is really, we look down on their house.
So we've got a good view.
I can have a good look.
Lord and lady next door.
Yeah, in the cathedral next door.
Yeah, in the elevated palace. King of the castle. La, la, la, la, la. And that's a a good view. Okay. I can have a good look. Lord and lady next door. Yeah, in the cathedral next door. Yeah, in the elevated palace.
And the king of the castle, la, la, la, la, la.
And that's a Borat reference.
So I won't do that.
And then I thought, no power tools today.
Okay.
Do you know what I mean?
In our house.
Yep.
We'll keep the work quiet.
Yep.
Then I thought of making my mum's crunchy top lemon muffins and popping them in a basket.
Yum!
We've never had crunchy topped lemon muffins.
I love lemon.
You've never had Patsy's crunchy topped lemon muffins?
I've never.
So I thought I'd make them with lemons from their own tree
that hangs over in our property.
Wait, so you're going to steal a little bit of a trimmy tree?
No, but we share all their citrus because it explodes over my face.
What if the new neighbours don't want to share the citrus?
What if they're citrus intolerant and you give them an anaphylactic shot?
Is that what it's called?
They won't eat the lemon.
They'll know their own phylactics.
Yeah, I know.
But, you know, every day everyone's like seed-free, grain-free, gluten-free,
and I'm like, oh, I don't know.
I'm thinking crunchy, Patsy's crunchy lemon top muffins
in a basket with like a fancy tea towel,
maybe a Fletchford and Hayley tea towel.
Just let them know I'm a bit famous.
Just pop that there.
It's good they know.
Do you know what I mean?
It's good they know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's good they know.
You're out of control.
Just pop that there like that.
Yeah, okay.
And then I'll open the door being like, it's me.
And then maybe a bottle of wine that I want to say costs $30.
$30?
But again, what if they're recovering alcoholics?
I know, and I break their 10-year sobriety.
Yes, yes.
Because they're like, I could say no to a 20.
Not a $30 bottle.
And it does have a few gold stickers on it.
Because in an ideal world,
and we made friends with those last neighbours,
we had a great social life with them.
In an ideal world, I want to sort of, you know,
seed that.
Don't push your socialness
on other people.
We're social people.
You know,
we're social people.
Any other tips,
any other ways
of making them feel welcome
to the neighbourhood,
you reckon?
Do you think a wine
and crunchy top muffins
are too much?
Nah.
What about a song?
I like producer Jared's idea
of,
because it is always weird
moving to a new neighbourhood
and not knowing which one's the best fish and chip shop.
We don't have any fish and chip shops.
His idea was you take around all the flyers
of the local takeout places and be like,
these are the best ones.
I'm going to assume they've got the internet.
I'm going to assume dropping off a bunch of junk mail.
I'm going to assume, Jared, it's not the 1990s.
I'm assuming, Jared, they've got a Google search engine.
No, no, I get it.
You want that personal recommendation.
Sometimes the Google reviews, they don't have an actual menu.
They've got like customer photos of the fish and chip shop.
Where I live, there's two restaurants, three restaurants.
That's sort of it.
Yeah, okay.
So you know what I mean?
Maybe if you lived in a hub of culture and food,
but we don't have a fish and chip shop.
I can't wait to see how this goes,
because if they don't like you,
this is going to be very entertaining.
Well, you know I have a history.
In the history, you do have a history of...
With not loving neighbours,
and then not loving us.
Like those neighbours that urinated on your car
through the vents. Through the vent, and then my loving us. Like those neighbours that urinated on your car through the vents.
Through the vent and then my car smelt like puss.
Well, wish me luck.
That's why I'm trying to set the tone early on.
We're fun.
We're not too fun.
Bring in some muffins.
Bring in some crunchy top muffins.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
The game is called Mints or Mints.
And it's gone viral on TikTok, Instagram and the likes.
Someone made an app in November.
Yes.
So I feel like you're saying you've been playing this for years.
Yeah.
You have missed out on a money maker here.
Stupid, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We first started playing this game when I worked for our friends,
Jono and Ben, in 2017 called Mints or Mints.
And the game is, I'll say to you, either mints, as in the breath mints,
or mints, as in the beef or pork mints.
And you have to try to figure out which one I'm saying, mints or mints.
Gotcha.
Now, a lot of people are now playing this online and through this app,
and so the game Mints and Mints is back in the news.
You should have traded me.
I know it's too late.
You could have been a millionaire.
Do you want to play Mints or Mints?
Absolutely.
All right.
So then do I say Breath or Meat?
Breath or Meat.
Breath or Meat.
Mints or Mints. Fletch, you're up
first. Yes. Wait.
But are you gonna like write down
because you could just change your mind.
You could change your mind. Do you trust my integrity
as an honest woman? No. Okay, neither.
Okay, I'll write it down first. Okay.
Okay. And you can't look.
Okay. You should rip the paper in half
and write mints on one side and mints on the other and then pick one and hold it. We obviously can't look Okay, you should rip the paper in half And write mince on one side and mince on the other
And then pick one and hold it
We obviously can't see either piece
But just so you can't change your mind
Okay
No, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna write
I love that
Game one, and I'm gonna write either M or B
Okay
I love that both of us did not trust you
I only saw in you The possibility of what I would do Okay. I love that both of us did not trust you.
I only saw in you the possibility of what I would do if I was in charge. Oh, yeah, 100%.
And I saw me trying to diddle somebody out of some points.
I'm going to give you each three chances,
and whoever gets the most points wins.
Okay.
All right.
Fletch.
Yes.
Mince.
Meat. Correct. Yes. Mince. Meat.
Correct.
Yes!
I was going to be my guess too.
I'm great at mints or mince.
I'm guessing a different mince.
Yeah, here you go.
Vaughan.
Yeah.
Mince.
Ah, breath mint.
Meat.
Oh!
I heard a T, I heard a T.
Okay, Fletch.
So good. Yes. I heard a T. I heard a T. Okay. Fletch. So good.
Yes.
Mints.
The meat.
Correct.
Yeah.
I could tell though.
She said it differently when she said it to me.
No.
Oh, I don't think that was a spoiled sport.
I heard a T.
God, you're a sore loser.
Ready?
Yeah.
Such a sore loser.
Mints.
Breath mints.
Correct.
Yes, that was why
I was going to go
for that one too.
So far,
we've got Fletch on two,
Vaughan on one.
Fletch.
Is it first to three
gets $1,000?
Sure.
Thank you.
Company money, right?
Okay.
Okay, I'm going to write it down.
Fletch.
Yes.
Mints.
The meat. Incorrect. Whatletch. Yes. Mints. The meat.
Incorrect.
What?
No, you said mints, like mints meat.
I wrote B.
Look at that, even the producers are like,
yeah, but you wrote it down, but you're saying it like...
I am a trained talker.
I would not do that to you, okay?
Mints.
Vaughan.
Mints.
Mints.
Ready?
Yep.
Mints. Breath mint. Yeah, it was breath. No, that'since. Ready? Yep. Mince.
Breath mint.
Yeah, it was breath.
No, that's me.
What?
No!
Really?
Yeah.
Mince.
Okay, if you get this fletch, you win.
Yep, okay, go.
Mince.
Breath.
No, the mint.
Damn it, I was about to say meat, but I was like...
Vaughan? mint. Damn it. I was about to say mint, but I was like... Born.
Okay.
Mints.
Someone just sneezed in the background.
I missed it.
I missed it because of the sneezes.
Put me up one more time.
Go again.
Go again.
Mints.
Breath mints.
No.
No, that was babe.
That was babe.
You knew it.
Okay.
I knew it
Fletch here is your chance
Okay
Fletch
Mints
Breath
Correct
Yeah
Yes
Someone said I used to play this game
With bear bear and beer
Oh
With three bears
Because I think we have an argument
About hair hair and hair
And we always say like
No it's hair.
And you're like, you don't say it like that.
We could just do this a different segment each time, like fairy and fairy.
Yeah, this is great.
Am I saying?
I'm getting on the, okay, which one is this?
I'm getting on the fairy to pick then.
No, well, it's fairy.
You just have to say it.
You can't get on the back of a small woodland creature.
You're too heavy for her.
She's so petite. Wow. How big's woodland creature. You're too heavy for her. She's so petite.
Wow.
How big's a fairy?
We're all too heavy for her.
That magic, though.
Okay, I got some really overpriced chips on the fairy.
No, you just say the words.
We work out the context of chips.
That's not how it works.
Okay.
I'll give you a beer.
Okay.
Beer.
A drink.
No, naked.
I love this game.
I love this game.
Okay, Fletch,
I'll give you a hair.
Okay.
Hair.
Animal.
The rabbit.
Yeah.
The rabbit.
Yeah.
Yes!
I rounded it.
I rounded it. I'm really good at that. I rounded it out.
I'm really good at that.
I think it's just I'm really, yeah, really good at this game.
But we can't call it.
Their family does it with two.
Two.
Two, two, and two.
Two, two, and two.
Okay, Vaughn.
Yeah.
Two.
Just T-O.
No, the number.
Yes, Colin got it.
So dumb, eh?
Okay, I'll give you a two.
Okay.
Two.
Like you two. Yes. Two O we've got it. So dumb, eh? Okay, I'll give you a two. Okay. Two. Like you two.
Yes!
Two O, two double O.
See, I just know I've got a feeling.
What do we call this game, though?
Because we can't call it Mints or Mint.
It should be Am I Saying.
This or that.
Am I Saying.
Am I Saying.
Nah, it's got to be catchier.
Mints, Mints, Here, Here, Two, Two.
What was the game on 30 Rock
Remember the TV show
30 Rock
It was like
Alec Baldwin's character
pitched the game
It was something like
Homophones
Yeah
And it was words
that are said the same
but spelled differently
Oh right
Was that what it was called
I think I just added this
when you said
what should it be called
Well let's just give that a working title.
Yeah.
Working title, Mince Mince.
Mince Mince.
Mince Mince here, here, too, too, there, there.

Not the W-H.
Hmm.
Great game.
This is great fun.
George is up next.
She's got some pig marks in her clothes.
Yep.
And she's trying to eat our cake.
Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast.
I'll tell you.
What?
It's a podcast.
You are allowed to listen to it while you're wheeze.
There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast.
It just says here I'm busting for a wee.
I read it, okay?
I read it.
Give us a review.
