The ZM Podcast Network.
The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod.
Great things are brewing at McCafe.
The perfect start to every day.
Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley.
This is embarrassing.
Yeah, mate.
Oh, it's got, it's rusting.
Yeah, there is some rust.
It's rusting.
That's really good.
This is my daughter's Kmart Stanley Cup-y cup.
It's not a real one.
So it's not a Stanley, it's a Kmart.
Nah, it's a Kmart.
It's a dupe.
Dupe of a Stanley cup.
And then her grandmother bought her a Stanley cup,
and I said, I'll take that,
because fathers hate things going to waste.
Every drink bottle I think I've ever had
has been my kid's old drink bottle.
But you had a drink bottle already.
Yeah, I don't know what I've done with it.
But that was Indy's old drink bottle
before she got a Frank Green.
I mean, their grandmothers
aren't buying me anything.
No.
Bastards.
Bucs, eh?
Yeah.
Bloody shits.
So, yeah.
Was August teased
like we were teasing you?
No, because she got
the official Stanley
just before she went
back to school.
But all the school kids
would have the fake, right?
Yeah.
Who's spending $80 on a stupid cup?
Certainly not me.
Ridiculous.
Certainly not me.
I've gone back to glasses.
Yeah, that's...
Cheers.
That's a Johnny Walker glass.
That is a Johnny Walker glass.
With water in it.
If you're having a glass...
That's a glass for a Johnny Walker glass.
If you're having that much Johnny Walker,
you're probably tagged.
Yeah, you don't want a pint of Johnny Walker.
Absolutely not.
Not all at once.
It'll get warm.
Five on time returns at 8 o'clock this morning.
The current jackpot still has not been won.
$17,000.
You've just got to say time at exactly five seconds to win the cash.
So listen out to play five on time at 8 o'clock.
On the way, the top six.
Top six things young people shouldn't have.
A ban for energy drinks, perhaps.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah, that would be a good thing, I think.
Oh, shut up.
You don't want to start poisoning yourself there.
No, you weren't pounding a four-pack of, did you ever,
man, when I was at uni, it was often a four-pack of V a day.
Wow.
I've never been an energy, oh, Lift Plus.
Yum.
I did a bit of Lift Plus.
Yeah, okay.
Because they had great advertising.
We were with the other day, there was some energy drink I'd never heard of or seen, and I picked it up, and what, there was 80, what did I say, 81 grams of sugar?
Oh, yeah, when we were in the office.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was fun.
Just like 81.
It was a new one.
And what's a teaspoon, like four or five grams? office. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fun. It's like 81. It was a new one. And what's a teaspoon?
Like four or five grams.
Yeah.
Like that is insane.
It's a bag of Chelsea sugar.
20 teaspoons?
Yeah, it was like 70 or 80 grams.
Yeah, it was.
It was wild.
Yeah.
It was wild.
Insane.
All right.
What about the top six things I don't think young people should have from a grizzled old man?
Because it's always grizzled old buggers that are saying, well, the youth shouldn't
have this, that and the other. Yeah.
Do you use deodorant if you're
just staying at home? Like if you're not going
out? I literally had this conversation with
Aaron the other day. Yeah, because apparently deodorant
sales are now on
the rise because
people are going back to work, which means
they were not using it.
You grubby shit.
I had a shower this morning.
I'm fresh.
I'm always so paranoid.
Sometimes I'll double up in the morning or...
I put it on before I go to bed.
I put it on in the morning, after the gym.
Well, the results for Celi Little Polar are in just a couple of minutes, but next on the show...
If you're a woman, and if you're in a relationship and if you like hugs
like me i've got good news
okay you i mean it goes without saying that i love a cuddle i love cuddles you got a hug out of me the
other day at the airport and it was weird he hated it because i actually straddled his thigh and sort
of sat down on him oh wow, wow. You feel the warmth?
I was like, look, you can have one of your two hugs this year now at the airport.
And I really made the most of it.
It's because I was hungover and vulnerable.
He was vulnerable and I took the opportunity for an intimate moment.
But I love hugs and they did a study, well, they,
scientists did a study about, you know,
how we receive love and how it relates
to our satisfaction in our relationships.
And if you're a woman who receives more embraces
and cuddles and touches,
you're more likely to be satisfied with your relationship.
What about men?
What about men?
No, this was just, they just studied women.
You've got your own studies.
You know, every day is men's study day.
Okay, right.
This one is just women's study.
Right.
So they surveyed women between,
oh no,
research women,
sorry,
between ages of 18 and 72.
Because after 72,
you don't want to hug them too hard.
You break them.
You've got to be gentle.
You've got to be gentle.
Fragile bones.
And it suggested that hugs and holding hands
leads to better intimacy,
better body satisfaction within yourself,
better communication with your partner.
But I just want you to keep in mind
he might be hugging you because you're soft.
Because you're squishy bits.
Because you're squishy bits.
He might like hugging the squishy bits.
So Aaron does it sometimes.
Like, he'll give me a hug and I'm like, this is nice.
And he goes like, eh, eh, on a fatty bit.
And I'm always like, what are you doing there, mate?
Yeah, yeah.
So what he did, he went in there and you got the feeling good
and feeling confident about the bod and then he squeezes a soft bit.
Yeah, and then you think that they're going fat bit,
but they're just going like, this is nice and squishy.
This is where my hands have stopped.
This is where my hands have stopped and I'm just giving it a honk honk.
A little honk honk. Yeah. A little honk honk.
Yeah, a little honk honk. Not on the boobie but on
the love handle.
That's not right.
Sort of the back bra fold sometimes. You'll get a handful
in there. What about holding hands?
Because you mentioned also holding hands.
Yeah. Do you hold hands much still?
Yeah, we do but sometimes
Aaron gives me a slack hand.
Like a little limp hand or a limp wrist. I hope you slap it but sometimes Aaron gives me a slack hand. Like a little...
Like a limp hand or a limp wrist.
I hope you slap it away and tell him to firm that up.
I do.
I'll grab it like that and then I'll rattle it about
and then hold on.
Right.
I'm like, if you're going to hold it, hold it.
And he holds it for a bit, but he loses interest.
Also, our gait's all out of whack because he's got such long legs.
Oh, because he's so massive.
And he's so big.
So holding hands doesn't always have a good rhythm.
He's kind of swinging you along.
Yeah, like a child.
Like swing a toddler between you.
That's what it's like holding hands.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little po.
Silly little po.
It is so silly, silly, silly. That the silly little po. Silly Little Pole, do you wear deodorant if you are staying in?
That's anything where you're not leaving your house or property, right?
Yeah. So apparently deodorant is now the winner in sales
because a lot of people are going back to the office
and companies that are selling deodorant are noticing an increase.
But don't you, like, I'm not an incredibly sweaty-pitted person,
but if I don't wear deodorant, No matter if I have a busy day or not
I can be like
Oh I'm a bit stinky
Yeah yeah yeah
And I find if you sit around
Like if you're at home
And you're sitting around
You do get a weird little
Pungent
Yeah
And you're always like
Oh shoot I didn't put deodorant on
I smell worse after a day of like
Just chilling watching TV
Or playing Playstation
Than I do if I've just been like
Actually doing something
Sweating properly
Yeah
Because you've just been
Sitting in your own sweat
Well it's like people Forgetting to brush your teeth During the pandemic But it's also routine Yeah than I do if I've just been like actually doing something. Sweating properly. Yeah, because you've just been sitting in your own sweat.
Well, it's like people forgetting to brush their teeth during the pandemic.
But it's also routine.
Yeah.
We are creatures of habit and routine.
So if it's not your morning routine of getting up, showering, putting it on,
like if it's not part of the routine, perhaps you just delay it to way later in the day or completely forget about it all up.
But we asked you and 81% of you said yes,
you'll put on deodorant
If you're staying in
19% said no
That's a lot
Let's meet some of these
Stinky Malinkies
Stinky Malinkies
Erin
Not a stinky Malinkie
She said
Always
Because I stink if I don't
Yeah
She's aware of it
Which is nice
Because some people stink
And you think
They mustn't be aware of it
We talked about this last week
When you were away
But we had a concert stinker.
I thought that was farts.
No, we were literally surrounded by pungent odours.
We probably smelt of gin, to be fair, I'll say.
We weren't immune.
We stunk boozy.
That's delicious botanicals.
We had farts near us and we also had a big BYR.
Yeah, that was a few rows away, but we smelt it.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It's emanated.
Yeah, it was sour.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Your concert experience was visually you were pleased,
audibly you were pleased,
however your olfactory sense was assaulted.
Taste-wise, we were pleased because of the gin.
Yeah.
What about when someone really thinks
and you can almost taste it?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It's all getting in there.
Catherine said,
yes, I cannot stand smelling like beer.
Real question is,
do you wear deodorant after you shower at night
before you go to bed?
Yes, yes.
I don't.
Because you sweat in your sleep.
Because I always shower
in the morning.
Oh, yeah.
Now, see, I don't shower, so.
I showered this morning.
Revolutionary, I tell you.
Feels good, eh?
It was really good.
She was late.
That's what sometimes you do.
You shut your eyes
and you wake up
and you're like.
My plan was.
How long have I been in here?
My plan was,
because I saw a little thing
on cold showers,
I was like, I am going to start cold showering in the morning.
And then the heat just lured me in.
Why would you do that?
No, thank you.
Robin says, good to give the body a rest from chemicals if it's not needed.
Nah.
But you can use a chemical-free deodorant.
Do they work?
Yeah.
They don't stop you sweating, but they stop you smelling.
Stop the smell.
Melissa said, you never know when you might pop out.
You must always be prepared.
And what if someone pops around?
She's popping out.
She's getting hookups.
She's getting booty calls.
Ding, ding.
Or whatever a notification on a dating app sounds like.
Chip, chip.
You always have a wipe on the way, though.
You always have a wet wipe in the car.
Oh, you could have a baby wipe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The pits and the bits.
Britt said, deodorant on after every shower.
It's just a habit.
Yep.
Good.
Felicity, I sleep with my arms above my head,
so I put deodorant on before bed every night.
Otherwise, I'd stink myself out.
So no one, the 19% weren't brave.
Oh, no.
One person said, good to have a break from the chemicals.
I sleep with my arms above my head, too.
Oh, okay.
Otherwise, they weren't speaking up too much, were they?
No.
The people that don't deodorant, they're staying at home. Well, there you go. It's a little pile. Oh, okay. Otherwise, they weren't speaking up too much, were they? No. The people that don't do anything at home?
Well, there you go.
It's a little pile.
19 past six.
Well, that was because people are going back to work.
But next we're going to talk about the bad habits you have developed
from working from home.
The ones that we've all kept.
We got a bit manky, didn't we?
We did, yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, I bloody ruined
telling you off about your silly
Stanley Cup, aren't I? Just knocked over
a full bloody pint of water.
Mop, mop, mop that up.
These microphones, are they waterproof?
Yeah. Okay, good. This whole studio's waterproof.
This used to be Kelly Tolton's.
Oh my God, I thought so. Yeah, this used to be
where the sharks used to do their podcast. It was, and then they
emptied out the tank and now we out the tank It was called Shark Tank
And then
Which because it was in a shark tank
And it was a story of life from the perspective of sharks
And then the actual shark tank sued them
Oh my god
Here's the weird thing
They ruled in the actual shark's favour
Because they were sharks in a tank
And the copyright law were like
Well actually they are sharks
It would be like starting something called Madonna Tank They were sharks in a tank. Yeah. And the copyright law were like, well, actually, they are sharks.
Right.
It would be like starting something called Madonna Tank and then being angry at the actual Madonna doing a podcast from a tank.
Okay.
So the sharks won, but just the legal costs drove them under.
Oh, that's great.
We got the studio at us still.
Yeah, which is why it's a bit fishy.
Sometimes it gets a bit fishy.
Is that why?
Yeah, you find the odd sea shell. I've got to be honest. I thought it was Fletch this whole time. No. All right, have a shower.. Sometimes it gets a bit fishy. Yeah, and you find the odd sea shell.
I've got to be honest,
I thought it was Fletch this whole time.
No.
All right, have a shower.
It's not, it's not.
Well, Fletch was the last guest on Shark Tank.
Shark Tank, right.
Okay, this is from the New Zealand Herald,
which I will admit I've just used to mop up some water,
but it's from days gone by.
Read it and then use it for whatever.
Yep, fishing chips, wiping out water.
When did they stop using actual newspaper for fish and chips?
Oh, good question.
Because they just don't do it anymore.
They just use newspaper.
No, because they'd do the one on the inside
and then they'd put the fish and chips around,
but everyone just uses actual newsprint.
But then sometimes you'd get your fish
and it would be imprinted with a Harcourt's logo.
Stop being silly.
Yeah, I know.
Wait till Shark Tank hear about this.
No, because they would always use a liner and then the newsprint.
Now they just use the butcher's paper.
The butcher's paper.
Butcher's paper?
It's just newspaper.
We've got a roll of butcher's paper at home.
No, butcher's paper is different to what your fish and chips come in.
Fish and chips is newsprint.
Where do you get your fish and chips that it's coming in butcher's paper?
They'll be charging extra for the snapper, but butcher's paper costs more than the newsprint. It's nice. Okay. You do you get your fish and chips? That it's coming in butcher's paper. But bougie. They'll be charging extra for the snapper book.
Yeah.
But butcher's paper costs more than the newsprint.
It's nice.
Okay.
You wish you were me.
Must be nice.
Anyway, this is from the NZ Herald.
This is, they wrote up a list of nine unhealthy working from home habits that we've developed.
But this will be more, I guess, your corporate people that work from home or those that still
have a good day.
Like a lot of my friends went to like four days in the office and one still at home.
So lazy.
Particularly if they've got kids.
And I'm like, but you're still supposed to be working.
But they're not, eh?
They're not.
But if they're getting done, if this is, I've got to put it this way, if they're getting
done what they're paid to get done, who cares where they're doing it?
Totally.
Do you see like all the countries that are doing the four day work week and that they've
done it for long enough now that they're like, yep, work's still getting done.
People that don't want it to happen in management,
it says to me, they're miserable at home.
Yeah, they don't want to be around this.
I don't want to be at home, so everybody should be in the office
because they like the management at the office,
but at home, they're someone's bitch.
True, true.
At home, if they're there too long, their partner's in on them
and they're like,
I actually am a miserable here.
Work,
work,
work,
work,
work.
Yeah.
And everybody else
should be as miserable as me.
Here,
nine of the habits
and a little suggestion
on how to break them.
First one,
getting out of bed too late.
So like,
if you've got flexible hours
and you're like,
why would I get up
at like 7.30?
I'll get up, start at nine, I'll get up at 8.50.
Sleep.
You've got to have your sleep.
Well, it kind of throws you all out though, doesn't it?
And it can lead to inconsistent sleep,
tiredness and overeating.
So their solution was head outside
for a short morning commute.
Nah.
As you would.
This is written by management.
So far, all I'm hearing is management.
Okay, the next one. Eating a late
large breakfast at your desk
if you've got a little desk set up at home.
Yeah. They say
it stuffs your hunger hormones
and whatnot. Plan all meals in advance
and only in the kitchen. Ah, shut up.
Look, listen to this. Take this on
board. Plan all meals in advance. The next one is
Unless that's what are we having for dinner tonight
at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's planning in advance.
Not getting up from your desk
because there's no one to talk to.
I suppose that would be a thing, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
Because usually you get up and be like,
oh, let's go chat to so-and-so or go see someone.
But you're just sitting there
because you're all on your lonesome.
Solution.
Stand up every 45 minutes
and schedule exercise with a buddy.
Meet you at 12 for a walk around the park.
Just go to the mailbox.
Go to the mailbox.
See if the courier has advice.
It's not going to close your rings, is it?
I thought advice during the pandemic was condescending.
This is like, we've already sorted these.
Okay, the next pitfall,
eating a mid-morning snack because you're bored
and it's there.
I would 100% do that.
How many times have you worked from home?
Would you go to the fridge or the pantry just to see what's there? You wouldn't even know you were there. I would 100% do that. How many times have you worked from home would you go to the fridge
or the pantry
just to see what's there?
You wouldn't even know
you were there.
Yeah.
And then the fridge is open
and you're just looking at it like,
what am I doing?
To see if some chips
have magically appeared
in the last five minutes.
Is there lollies?
I'm sure there are lollies there.
We must have a sweet treat
in this house.
We must.
We must have a sweet treat.
And you find yourself
eating the chocolate buttons
or the baking chocolate.
Yum.
It's,
baking chocolate's not, buttons rule. Yeah. Yeah. But the baking chocolate's Yum. Baking chocolate's not,
Buttons rule.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the baking chocolate's
never as good as you hope
it's going to be.
No, it's not.
Hoovering up leftovers
for lunch.
A lot of people just like
going to the fridge
and be like,
I did have spaghetti
bolognese last night.
That's what I do every day.
Yeah, yum, yum.
I get home and I look forward
to the leftovers of like,
today we've got roast lamb.
Do you?
You get home
and some roast lamb.
Slow or is it dry?
No.
It's dry.
No, no, no.
Yesterday on the show we talked about the correlation of the deeper you get into the Mediterranean,
the drier the lamb gets.
No, you came out hard saying that all lamb cooked in Turkey is dry.
Turkey is dry.
Yeah, it is.
And we've issued an apology to our Turkish listeners.
Oh, I haven't.
You're banned from the country.
I haven't.
I'll go on record. Eating while you're prepping food for dinner. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And we've issued an apology to our Turkish listeners. Oh, I haven't. You're banned from the country. I haven't.
I'll go on record.
Eating while you're prepping food for dinner.
Yeah.
Is your next one.
It's the best way to eat the carrots.
Lying in bed after dinner and doing more work.
Because if you spread out your day and you don't have any structure,
you've got your laptop on there.
No, that doesn't work for you.
I was working.
Smoking to ease stress because there's no one to tell you that you can't.
That's the last one.
Oh, because I guess at work if you were always going out for a vape or a smoke.
Everyone would be like, oh, don't do that.
Yeah, they'd be like, God, he's always going out.
But at home, you do what you want.
Just crank a window.
Yeah.
Crank a window sitting at the laptop.
Again, if they're getting a work day, who cares? I would say like 90% of these were about food
Delicious
That falls out of a positive
I don't see any pitfalls here
Just positives
Well, some airlines
And it's more the staff that work
For the airlines
Like the flight attendants Are getting getting sick of you ordering your special meals
on these flights, and then you get them before everybody else.
Yeah.
It has definitely increased in frequency.
Like, you know, if you're on an international flight,
or even just going to, like, Australia, that you would,
the meals would start coming out and
you'd see like all the special ones and there's heaps of them now they get their meal first yeah
I want my meal even though you've got nowhere else to go you're in no rush because you're on a plane
for 12 hours because they literally just ate in the airport yeah uh Carl Wayne you are a vegetarian
yeah uh do you when you're going on a on a flight and there's a meal option do you, when you're going on a flight and there's a meal
option, do you order the special meal?
Well, obviously I went to Melbourne recently.
I didn't even think about booking
it, right? And so then the day before
I was like, oh, I should try. The cut-off
had ended. You have to do it
in 24 hours before the flight or something.
But that's like a four-hour flight.
Yes, it didn't really matter.
Enjoy your rubbery sausage.
But they actually had it as one of the options that they were taking
through the whole plane, so it didn't even matter.
She did get mad at me, though, because she said,
oh, do you want the beef or the steak or whatever she said.
That's the same thing.
Beef or the chicken, whatever it was.
And I was like, oh, I'm vegetarian, no thanks.
And she's like, well, you should have ordered a vegetarian meal.
I was like, oh, I was just saying that I can't have those meals. And then she's like, well, I'm vegetarian, no thanks. And she's like, well, you should have ordered a vegetarian meal. I was like, oh, I was
just saying that I can't have those
meals. And then she's like, well, I'll get you a vegetarian.
Well, I think... Did you say thank you?
Did you slap her on the butt?
Wow.
This is an article that
appeared in The Sun in the UK
and it talks about Lufthansa
flight attendants. I thought you were going to say
the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe. The Lufthansa flight attendants. Oh, my God. I thought you were going to say the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe.
The Lufthansa flight attendants who have hit back at the number of requests
because apparently there are 11 options for meals.
So there's like gluten-free, there's low cholesterol,
there are religious meals like kosher meals.
Halal, yeah.
Halal.
And crew have said that some flights have had as many as 190 special meals.
I mean, because it used to just be.
That's insane.
It would be like meat, meat or vegetarian.
Yeah.
Meat, meat, lemonade, round the corner chocolates, mate.
That's right.
That's right.
It's not what they say.
Those would be the options.
That's not what they say.
But now gluten free, I guess like allergy-free,
but some people with severe nut allergies
have to have the whole plane nut-free, right?
Yes.
Like if it was like people that can't even be near it.
Yeah.
But then you think if a plane's got like 240 seats
and 190 of them are special meals.
Can I get a keto low FODMAP dairy-free?
They're saying that quite often the seat numbers will be mixed up. and 190 of them are special meals. Can I get a keto low FODMAP dairy free?
They're saying that quite often the seat numbers will be mixed up,
that they don't have enough meals.
It's causing delays to flights.
I feel like if you're that desperate for a special meal,
you should just have your own.
Like eat at the airport.
Eat at the airport, yeah.
Pack your own, pack a lunch. Pack some snacks.
Buy some expensive, you know, like fruit and salads at an airport.
But then remember to get rid of them if you don't eat them.
Oh, yeah, you don't want to do that.
Yeah.
Get accustomed.
I can imagine this would be a pain in the bum.
Yeah.
It would be.
And they're saying that they want the airline to charge for special meals
because then people won't do it just because they can.
Yeah.
And they'll just get what they're given.
I think when I used to fly Lufthansa.
Lufthansa?
Lufthansa.
I used to get the vegetarian meal
because some of those Scandi destinations
have a bit of a questionable meat.
Really?
Yeah, you'd be like, what the hell is this?
Whale.
Yeah.
Whale blubber, seal, fresh sealed steaks.
Never dry a whale steak though.
Too much fat.
Due to the fat content.
Oh, right. I'd like to see the Turkish try. The Turkish a whale steak, though. Too much fat. Due to the fat content. Oh, right.
I'd like to see the Turkish try.
The Turkish should probably dry it out.
Wow.
Shots fired again at Turkey.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, God.
Apologies to our Turkish listeners.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the top six.
Whale energy drinks are ever popular with the youth.
Prime, for example.
Yes.
Which tastes like yuck.
I've never tried it.
It's gross.
I'm not a big energy.
The only time I have an energy drink is if I have it with Jagermeister.
A Jagermom.
A Jagermom.
I love a Jagermom.
Let's get going. Let's get going.
Let's get going.
No, my kids haven't had the prime, the energy ones,
which caffeine levels are on the verge of toxic or something.
Like for young people, that's why the big worry was.
But there was like a hydration one,
but that wasn't very nice either.
I just think they, as adults also do,
just bought into the hype of it.
But there are some energy drinks out targeting kids around the world
that are extremely high in sugar content, extremely high in caffeine.
And the UK is looking at banning them for under 16s.
We had a similar sort of a loose goose scenario here with energy drinks, right?
It was like kids couldn't buy...
I don't know the rules.
And I know when my wife
was a Red Bull girl.
Oh, wow.
Just drop that in there.
That's hot, man.
They don't make
niggas Red Bull girls.
No, they don't.
Remember that time
you worked at Red Bull?
You had to work out the bag.
Yeah, you worked
in the warehouse.
They were like,
hey, shoulders,
lift up another case of Red Bull
and put it in the back
of the mini.
For the girls.
Put it in the back
for the girls. Where do you want the Red Bull and put it in the back of the Mini. For the girls. Put it in the back for the girls.
Where do you want the Red Bull?
Where do you want I deliver?
You weren't public facing.
She was Soviet, right?
She was Soviet, Hayley.
Yeah.
It was before my accent kind of came in.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd bring it back, I say.
God, I had a set of shoulders on me the other day.
Oh, yeah, you did.
Good for lifting.
And they straightened your spine.
They got rid of your hump.
Yeah, the hump's all but gone.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But she can still lift.
Yeah, and a lot of laser hair removal on the face.
Lots.
Yeah, lots.
But they used to be like,
you can't give it to anybody that you suspect is under 18, I think it was.
They didn't want mums on the phone.
You gave my kids energy drinks.
Oh, but people would come up and be like,
can I have one?
Yep.
Can I have one for bub?
And point to a baby in the room and they're like,
no, no, no, no.
Well, I say, why stop at energy drinks?
I've got the top six things I don't think young people
should have from a grizzled old man.
Number six on the list, boyfriends and girlfriends.
Oh, okay.
It's going to happen, Dad.
Dad, it's going to happen.
You don't need them.
It's going to happen soon, happen. You don't need them. It's going to happen soon, too.
You don't need them.
No bloody good can
come from it. No bloody good at all.
I might get a baby out of it, teen pregnancy.
No, no. Number five
on the list of the top six things I don't think
young people should have from a grizzled old man.
Spare time.
They've all got too much time on their hands.
You need it. And that's when they're getting up to their shenanigans.
You've got to have time for adventures and naughtiness.
And ram raids.
Oh.
Fit in my ram raids.
Fit in a ram raid around your after school activities.
What time's dinner?
You've got time to fit in a ram raid?
No, mum said it's going to be really soon.
I'll just do the local dairy.
Yeah.
Oh, nah. Mum said it's almost like she has soon. I'll just do the local dairy. Yeah. Oh, nah, mum said it's almost like,
she has actually asked us to set the table,
wash our hands and set the table,
so it must be close.
I'll go after.
I'll go after dinner.
I'll go after.
Number four on the list of the top six things
I don't think young people should have
from a grizzled old man,
books that aren't the Bible.
Too many books that aren't the Bible
are being read by these young children.
Harry Potter?
Oh, I don't think so.
Satan Potter, more like it.
Letting that into your house.
Number three on the list of the top six things I don't think young people should have from a grizzled old man.
Piercings!
What are you putting holes in your perfectly good body for?
I'm trying to express myself.
I can't wait until your girls get piercings.
They do have piercings. No, but like until your girls get piercings. They do have piercings.
No, but like
full-on facial piercings.
Oh, yeah.
And the cheeks.
And the cheeks.
No, no, no.
Full-on facial piercings.
Yeah, they are.
All through my ears.
Belly button.
That are trash.
And then you've got to wear
a little crop top
so you can see
the belly button piercing.
I reckon flesh tunnels
are coming back in.
No.
Flesh tunnels.
Tongue rings are coming back in.
Yep.
Snake bites.
Monroe.
Low-rise jeans, I can understand.
That's a mistake you've got to learn for yourself.
Eyebrow.
Flesh tunnel earrings.
You just go and see someone with a floppy old ear
that wouldn't have decided to get rid of them.
With a puckered butthole ear.
Yeah.
That'll put you off.
Our number two on the list of the top six things
I don't think young people should have from a grizzled old man.
Cars!
We used to have to walk and ride
our bikes everywhere. Yeah, but we live
in a big city nowadays. No.
If it's that far away, it's not worth going
to. Where else am I going to hook up with my
boyfriend? Exactly.
Number six and number
five on the list. And number
one on the list of the top six things I don't think young
people should have from a grizzled old man.
Opinions!
You haven't lived!
Not really.
You're entitled to your opinions.
You renege on that one.
Not really, but yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but no, no, no, no, not really.
But yeah, but no.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Carwen and Shannon, I believe, yesterday popped into the Mart of K
to do a little ship shop.
What were you buying?
Carwen needed a sheet and I needed company.
Just one sheet.
Did you soil?
One sheet?
Okay, that's dodgy.
Why did you need one sheet?
No, because I don't.
I only do a fitted sheet.
I know, I know.
But I wash my duvet cover every time I wash my sheets.
Oh, no.
Do you?
You're going to fade it.
You're going to fade it.
I don't care.
It's also from Kmart.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's all right then.
She's not bougie out here.
Did you see those, is it $49 dungarees everybody's buying?
Where?
Is it the denim?
I was talking about dungarees before and you didn't tell me.
They're not dungarees.
It's some big denim thing.
Yeah, it's like a top
and a skirt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's sold out.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, yeah, right.
Hang on.
Now I'm shopping.
Kmart, send it to me
if you have it, please.
I've been looking for it.
Are you sure she's a Kmart influencer?
They don't want you
denim dungarees yet.
They don't want you
influencing anything
at Kmart
when you don't sleep
with a top sheet.
Yeah, that's a top sheet. It's because I move too much in my sleep
and I kick it about
and then it just ends up at the bottom of the bed anyways.
We're sheet only at the moment because it's so warm.
We don't even have a blanket.
We're just sheet only anyway.
We'll talk about this another time.
Lost a lot of respect to you though, Carlin.
I don't care.
I know we should keep talking about everybody's bedding formations.
You were looking for a top sheet.
Shannon, you were looking for...
Company.
Company.
Just company.
Well, I needed to kill a few hours
because I was going to a hotel and check-in was at two.
Oh, that's right.
She was having a fortnightly shag-a-thon.
So you went to Kmart.
You probably needed a couple of top sheets as well.
BYO sheets over there.
Sometimes you get a BYO sheet to a hotel
get a black mark
against your name at a
fine establishment
you can talk, you literally
left, I soiled the sheets with nugget sauce
and I mean that genuinely
it was chicken McNugget sauce
so we went to Kmart
together, we went to Sylvia Park
so a little bit away from work
more towards my side of town and we went to Kmart together. We went to Sylvia Park, so a little bit away from work.
That's quite far away.
More towards my side of town.
And we went and we got quite a bit of stuff.
We went around the whole store a few times.
We were just killing time.
We were just having fun.
Anyway, so we're about to check out.
Walking towards the checkout and we hear this loud fire alarm.
We don't react and we just kind of keep going to check out
and this assistant's like,
girls, there's a fire alarm, you need to leave.
And we were like, can we just check out first?
You're mistaken, we're Gen Z.
We don't
listen to the norms.
They test fire alarms heaps at work
when we're here early. We literally look at them and go
do we need to leave? Probably a test.
And so I don't know, I think we both just were like
we've got 30 seconds to check
out, you know? So what did you do with your
stuff that you were buying? She just told us to
put it down. Abandon, abandon cart!
Yeah, abandon. Abandon Kmart.
Oh my god! And all these carts were
being abandoned. We get escorted out,
we get outside and the whole mall
gets evacuated, all of Sylvia Park,
which is a huge mall.
Goodness me.
No, that's too big.
They should just do portions.
Well, I would think so, but people are coming out
with all their food trays from the food court
and just standing eating.
Oh, my God, you're not leaving food behind?
No, I'd take the tray.
Look, that's priority.
Yeah, and people were just having a meal.
People were sitting down.
Some girls from Kmart were saying, like,
I haven't had my lunch break yet, so this is great.
I get two breaks today.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
And were you allowed back in?
Yeah, it took nearly 20 minutes.
And then we just went back and collected our little pile of abandoned stuff
and just checked out.
Was your sheet still there, Carwen?
Oh, my gosh.
I was genuinely scared someone was going to come along and grab it.
No one was going to take one sheet, Calwyn.
One fish in a sheet.
It was the only queen bed size left.
I'll get it, King. Grow up.
I'm kidding. I know your thing's too small.
Well, so you made your purchases in the end.
What thing's too small?
Your house is too small, remember?
That's why she had to downsize.
No, no. She's always had a queen.
Oh, she split base.
She split.
She split base.
Yeah.
You're really interested in Carwin's sleeping arrangements, aren't we?
I want to know when I'm standing at the foot of your bed.
Describe the rest of the room to me.
Where's the side cabinets?
Okay, so you're standing.
Wait, so you're tucked in the corner?
Don't get off topic, please.
No, not tucked into the corner.
I'm not a animal.
I'm just making sure that you're an adult.
If you're an adult, your bed shouldn't be in the corner. Oh, I off topic, please. No, not tucked into the corner. If you're an adult, your bed
shouldn't be in the corner. Oh, I know, grow up.
I had a bed in the corner once because there was
literally nowhere else to put it.
No, but you fixed it now. And you used to
roll out of bed, didn't you?
Fall onto the floor.
Anyway, let's take some calls about
your evacuation stories, because you would have
had it, Fletch. You live in an apartment.
Oh yeah, I've been mid-dinner when it's gone on.
Mid-dinner?
Have you been mid-shower?
No.
I've been mid-sleep.
Haven't been caught in the news?
Have you been mid...
Mid-sleep?
No.
Have you been mid...
No.
What's that you're doing there?
What's that you're doing?
Is that a kiss?
Have you ever been mid...
Fletch doesn't kiss.
Doesn't he?
Not at all.
Not until marriage.
Not until marriage.
Everything else. He's a man of the Bible. Absolutely. Everything else. doesn't he not at all not until marriage not until marriage everything else
he's a man of the Bible
absolutely
everything else
literally everything
it's called
the reverse Bible
wow
but what about
at the mall
like the people
with the food trays
what about the people
getting Brazilian
this is what we were thinking
like what do you come out
with
a bit of waxy residue
yeah but once
they put it on
they smear it on to the pubis.
And then there's like a setting period before they can rip it off.
What if the alarm's going then and you've got a hard wax,
you put your undies over and then come back to it?
It'd be terrible.
And then your undies are stuck to the wax.
Oh, yeah.
Ow.
Yeah, and they're like, okay, take your undies off.
And you're like, ah.
You've done it yourself.
You've done it yourself.
Or maybe getting a massage.
I thought about a mall massage yesterday.
You could be like literally...
Mid-evacuation.
Topless.
Yeah.
Mid-evacuation.
Okay, well, we've got to take some calls on this.
0800 DARS at M, 9696 to text in.
When was there an evacuation, be it fire or otherwise,
at a terrible time?
We want to know when there was a fire evacuation or an emergency evacuation at a terrible time. We want to know when there was a fire evacuation
or an emergency evacuation at a terrible time.
The girls got stuck, had to abandon cart.
It came out, you say, in Sylvia Park.
Like actually abandoning a physical cart.
Yeah.
Like, you know, you always abandon the virtual cart.
Like 90% of the time.
You're like, yes, I want this, I want this.
What are you doing?
You have no money.
Stop.
Now, someone messaged in from Sylvia Park,
and this raises a good point. Six years as a haird in from Sylvia Park, and this raises a good point.
Six years as a hairdresser at Sylvia Park.
Is it Sylvia?
Yeah.
No, it's not actually Sylvia.
Oh, is it Sylvia of Sylvia Park?
Yes.
No, I don't believe this is Sylvia.
She would have said,
I worked in Sylvia Park for six years as a hairdresser,
and one of the longer fire alarms lasted over one hour,
so all their clients would have had hair dye in.
You can't just leave it to overdevelop.
If it's bleach, your hair will fall off.
If it's dark, it'll go black.
Wouldn't it burn your scalp as well?
So we all had to continue doing hair colours and cuts in the parking lot
while everyone from the mall watched as an audience.
Run a hose from one of the fire trucks.
Just on really low level.
Lay them back.
Yeah.
And rinse it over the garden.
Lay them back over a park bench.
Yeah, and rinse it.
And hopefully it all goes down the drain, even though that it over the garden. Lay them back over a park bench. Yeah, and rinse it, and hopefully it all goes down the drain,
even though that drains to the sea.
Rosie, when did you have to evacuate at the worst time?
Well, this is a very specific story,
but I'm one of those people that gets caught in a lot of fire emergencies.
Are you smoking durries inside, Rosie?
Are you a pyromaniac?
This is not on me.
Okay.
This is not on me.
I'm just a fire alarm magnet.
Okay. But this particular story me. I'm just a fire alarm magnet. Okay.
But this particular story was during a job interview.
Oh, what kind of job were you interviewing for, can I ask?
Yes, you may ask.
A sales role.
Okay.
And so I think the great thing is, you know, with sales people, we can generally talk and
work our way through it.
And the manager found it really amusing that I
had to walk down seven flights of
stairs and of course my highest
heels that I've seen in a day.
So you get to know
someone pretty well and
successfully secure the job.
Yay!
I think they were like, she can
face adversity.
It would also make you memorable too, wouldn't it?
Because you had that shared experience with them,
walking down, evacuating.
Exactly.
We ended up in a cafe instead.
So I just think that broke the ice in a completely different way
that gave me quite a great advantage.
Bit of an edge.
Yeah, I like that, Rosie.
Well done.
Thank you, Rosie.
Sarah, when did you have to evacuate at the worst time?
Well, I was at the hairdresser, so not only with the ugly cape on,
but I was mid-hair colour.
And this was back in the 90s when they used frosting caps.
Oh, my God, yes.
It's like a rubber cap that you put on your head, eh?
And then you pull through the bits you want to highlight?
With a crochet hook.
Yeah, with a crochet hook.
You look like kind of a hedgehog.
What colour were you going for in the 1990s there, Sarah?
Blonde.
Yeah, she's frosting the tips.
Blonde.
So what colour was your ordinary hair?
Mouse.
Now what we're looking at here is a, it's called mince and cheese.
I was going to say, it feels like a mince and cheese.
Yeah.
It feels like a mince and cheese.
Wait, so you had bleach on your hair?
Yeah, they were pulling through the hair,
so the bleach wasn't on yet,
so I just had all that kind of hair
sitting up through the rubber cap.
You just stand outside looking like a hedgehog.
Yeah, yeah.
And the cape just makes it worse.
Yeah, that's just it.
I'm just showing Vaughn
so he can get an image
of what they look like
because they're like
stupid little rubber caps.
Like a swimming cap
but with holes in it
and you pull the hair through.
Yeah.
You look like Angelica's doll
off Rugrats.
Yes.
Cynthia.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Sarah, thanks.
Fletcher's got no idea.
Yes, he doesn't know
what I'm talking about.
Remember Rugrats? Remember Cynthia the doll? The doll with the He said yes He doesn't know Remember Rugrats
Remember Cynthia the doll
How do you remember Rugrats
But you never played
Duck Duck Goose
Or like
I don't know Duck Duck Goose
Like a perfect cartoon
Reference from your childhood
You're like
I remember Rugrats
We need to play Duck Duck Goose
Great game
I remember Duck Tales
Duck Tales was
Duck Duck Goose
Duck Tales was the better
Duck based
Way to spend time as a child.
Getting sidetracked.
Some text messages in.
Lots of mall workers really getting put out by fire alarms.
There was a, okay, there's a bomb scare.
Oh.
I work in a mall.
There was a bomb scare to the bank attached to the mall.
We had to evacuate.
I was a beauty therapist.
I had to ask nicely if I could finish my clients,
the other half of the Brazilian.
Oh, no. Yeah. So she's other half of the Brazilian. Oh no.
Yeah.
So she's got half and half done.
She's got a half half.
It's not,
I mean,
I'm interested.
Imagine that eulogy
to Cheryl and Tina
who stayed behind
to finish a Brazilian.
Yeah.
During the bomb attack.
Their dedication to their work.
No pube left behind.
That was Tina's motto. Yeah. And Sarah's motto was get work. No pube left behind. That was Tina's
motto. And Sarah's motto
was, get rid of my pubes!
And we'll
miss them forever.
My mum was in labour with me when the fire
alarm went off at the birthing centre. Had to
evacuate everyone. She stood outside
while she was ready to pop.
Just got back in. Oh, I was going to say,
were you born on the footpath or inside?
Just got back in.
Okay.
End of the night, well, 6 a.m.
I mean, that's the very end of the night, isn't it?
Yeah.
Arriving back at a hotel, I accidentally opened the fire alarm door
and set off the fire alarm.
The great news was I was already back outside.
That's true.
Yeah.
Someone messaged saying they were mid-fun times.
Oh, okay. They were in an apartment, just ignored it so that they could, you know, they were having fun. Yeah. Someone messaged saying they were mid fun times. Oh, okay.
Living in an apartment.
Just ignored it so that they could, you know, have fun.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to stop.
I'm nearly there.
Then the fireman banged on the door and yelled, fire, everyone out.
We thought we'd better cut it short.
So it's an actual fire.
It wasn't a drill or a false alarm.
Walked out of the room and saw all the smoke in the hallway and hastily evacuated.
Like, that's dangerous.
Imagine that eulogy.
Yeah.
They stayed behind.
She died doing what she loved.
Yeah.
My dad was getting a massage in Bali when there was an earthquake.
He was nude.
Now I must ask on this stage of proceedings,
what kind of massage was dad getting in Bali that he was completely nude for?
They always ask you to keep your underwear on.
Or they give you a little paper one.
Yeah. Oh, the paper one. Yeah.
Oh, the paper one for guys isn't good because it always pops out the side.
Does it not pop out the side?
Not a problem for me.
I was going to say, Aaron uses his own undies.
Yeah, covers it in its absolute entirety.
No, no, it all pops out.
Blink-182 played on Saturday night
I think in Auckland
and they didn't go to Christchurch
they actually said FU Christchurch
I think they explained that
so their FU Christchurch
was just they heard
Christchurch isn't happening
and they were like
I've offered no explanation
so they were like screw you
because they thought it was whatever had happened was not, you know.
So I think Christchurch felt ripped off by Blank 182.
And Blank 182 felt ripped off by Christchurch, so there was a lack of communication there.
Yeah, because I want to know why it was cancelled.
Because we were like, maybe it didn't sell.
But then apparently it sold out.
Yeah, it must have been a logistics thing.
Yeah, it could have been.
Anyway, so they played on Saturday night,
and everyone I know that went said it was like
one of the best concerts I've been to.
I'm disappointed I didn't go in the end, to be honest.
My friend that went said it was weird hearing
50-year-old dudes make dick jokes.
Yeah, they're still being bratty,
even though they're all like multi-millionaire,
like very well-to-do people.
I like that.
But obviously Travis Barker, the drummer, is here,
and his wife is Kourtney Kardashian of a rather famous family,
the Kardashians.
Heard of them once or twice before, yes.
I've heard their name chucked around.
And I was sort of excited because I had a plan on Saturday.
I sort of had some friends over and I was like,
we should go to town and try to find her.
Oh, my God.
Stop being a stalker.
Because I was like, wouldn't it be strange to see a Kardashian in the wild?
It would just be like, what?
They're so small and tight.
Yeah, I've seen Kim Kardashian at an airport before.
I could not imagine seeing her.
And Kanye.
This was Kim and Kanye days.
Bizarre. And they got whizzed around the airport in one of those little golf imagine seeing her. Oh, you know. And Kanye. This was Kim and Kanye days. Bizarre.
And they got whizzed around the airport
in one of those little golf buggies.
Yeah, I bet.
It was bizarre to see in the wild.
And we mentioned that Courtney and Travis,
because they're vegan,
they went to Wise Boys,
which is a vegan burger joint in Auckland.
That was exciting for them, I guess.
Yeah.
But, so Courtney was still here yesterday
and like put up a post
because yesterday in Auckland we had terrible weather.
Like huge downpours.
Yeah, it was like manically raining.
Do you know what though?
We needed it for the garden and the lawn.
Yeah, I know, but Courtney Kardashian comes from LA, my love.
She doesn't even know what rain looks like.
They've had a lot of rain this year.
But she pays to put a seal over her.
She lives in a dome. She lives in a dome.
She lives in a dome.
In a sun dome.
She lives in a sun dome.
A millionaire's dome.
Yep.
And so not only did she post online saying like,
great, I love rain or something.
Like, thanks for the bad weather, Auckland.
She also tagged Auckland AUK land.
Like she left out of sea and everyone was like,
you don't even know where you are do you?
Let alone the fact that like this is
what Auckland looks like most of the time.
Yeah. So she was
obviously a bit stuck and like
where she was filming like they were like in the
middle of town and if you know Auckland
it's like not a very pretty
city unless you're like at the waterfront
and the sun's shining and the harbour bridge is
twinkling and all of this or you're on the North Shore or Waiheke but she was just like at the waterfront and the sun's shining and the harbour bridge is twinkling and all of this or you're on
the north shore or why heck yeah
but she was just like in the CBD
which is like just not our most beautiful
feature. Half the shops are shut down still
Yeah yeah yeah like walking down Queen Street for a shop
you'd be like ugh. Cause like down the bottom
of Queen Street are most of our
boutiques. High end
your Gucci's, your Prada's
so if she was going for a shop
she would have been
wasn't yesterday
that really big
cruise ship in two
the one that does
the whole trip
around the world
that you live on
yeah massive
I saw it
was it
yeah
I know but don't you
feel that when you see
those cruise ships
on a day like that
you're like oh
sorry
they're not getting
the best version of it
yeah it's a bit of
an embarrassing city
actually
Auckland's got too many
people and not enough
houses as it is
we don't want people
getting the idea
that it's a nice place to live.
Actually, true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She should have popped to Whangarei
or something like that.
So this is written down.
It says,
Kourtney Kardashian dissed Auckland
is what we're talking about here.
She misspelt Auckland
and we're taking offence, are we?
No, but she dissed the weather
and she was just like, ooh.
But it was ooh weather.
Yeah.
Yeah, but still.
I'll say shots fired. Oh, we're getting a bit
territorial, are we?
We're just saying you were lucky that you were even invited.
Wow. You should be grateful
that we even invited you. So you're one
sentence away from if you don't like it, go back to
where you came from? Is that what you were both saying?
Yeah. Wow. Okay, on
record. Yeah. If anybody was wondering
what day the show fell apart
You just said the G
You just said the G
I know
But then immediately
Look at him deflecting
Look at him deflecting
From his
We're all going down
March 5th
You're going down
You're going down too
You both said
Go back to where you came from
Why we didn't say that
You said if you don't like it
I'm not going down with you
You said if you don't like it
Go back to where you came from
Those were your words.
Now, trigger warnings are a very serious thing.
People put them before very sensitive topics.
Yes.
And I think if you hear, oh, trigger warning,
and then the thing that may be the trigger warning, and you go, you probably haven't been personally affected
by something that can bring up,
you know,
very bad memories
and horrible feelings.
Yeah.
So I'm not to poo-poo the trigger warning.
No, of course not.
I think it's a very important thing.
It can avoid people's days and weeks
and times being ruined.
Yeah.
It's a protection measure.
I ran completely out of breath there.
It's a protection measure. Yeah, right. of breath there. It's a protection measure.
Yeah, right.
I forgot to breathe.
I don't think I took a breath since I started talking.
No.
Take one now.
I think you had COVID last week.
Start again.
Because you've been tested positive.
You've been short of breath, haven't you?
Oh, yeah.
I slept for three hours when I got home yesterday.
But anyway, besides the point, trigger warning COVID.
Trigger warning.
A trigger warning was issued
before a university
lecture. And
so he said, I've got to say,
I'm putting a trigger warning out here about
finance.
Oh, okay. And I'll give you a chance
to leave if you're financially struggling
and find this a hard thing to
confront, you can leave the lecture. To which I'm
imagining everybody would have been like, we're at university.
Who's financially thriving here?
Yeah, what's, I'm not quite sure.
Even the trust fund babies were like, well, I'm not as rich now as I was when I was at
home with my mummy and my daddy.
No, I know.
My allowance got shrunk a couple of K.
I absolutely can't believe that they wouldn't let me take the rolls of rice.
I had to bring the jaguar.
I know, I just tell my product to buy the new one.
I might actually leave if that's all right because I'm feeling very triggered.
I'm feeling triggered financially.
But the financial lecture covered the age-old British tradition of buying around.
Now, it doesn't go into like what exactly about it it was.
Yeah.
Like when's the best time to leave.
But it was about how this is...
One round before your round?
I'm guessing that people feel triggered
because socially there's pressure
that you've got to then buy the round.
I didn't know it was a British thing, but it is.
You buy the, like, they're big on,
you sit down at a table, it's rounds,
rather than everyone just looks after themselves.
Well, it's in Saltburn.
Remember, that's part of the early storyline in Saltburn
is he's there just making friends with the new cool guy
and then it's his round and they make a thing out of being like,
don't, no, no, no, you've got to buy a round.
And they push him to the bar and he's got nothing
and he's like begging the bartender, like, please, please, please, please.
Just let me have it.
The bartender's like, no, and then he comes and pays for it.
Oh, bathwater.
So I get the anxiety.
I mean, I've definitely shouted rounds when I didn't have the money to shout rounds.
But in fairness, I've partaken in the rounds leading up to that round.
Yes.
In which I've paid for none of my drinks.
Yeah.
So if you're in the round, you've got to be in the round.
I've never, ever dipped out of a round.
I've never dipped out of a round.
I've never dipped out of a round.
I've never disappeared dipped out of a round. I've never dipped out of a round. I've never dipped out of a round. I've never disappeared before my round.
And I have been part of various rounds where when it's my round,
like we were doing cocktail rounds once.
Oh, yeah.
I won't say where, I won't say who.
It'll give too much away.
We were doing cocktail rounds.
Feels gaggle oriented.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
This is well before the gaggle.
Oh, okay.
There were four couples and we were doing cocktail rounds.
It was happy hour.
Got to the last couple.
He came back with wine for the girls and beer for the boys.
That's not the same price.
We were all previous couples.
Yeah.
Cocktailed.
Now, you might be thinking, Vaughn, that's four cocktails in an hour.
Shut up.
We were hammering it because we were paying less for them.
Happy hour.
You got to hammer it happy hour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like literally,
someone wasn't even finished their cocktail,
the next cocktail was there
because we were doing them every quarter hour.
Me and Fletch did this when we got to Melbourne
and we'd like arrived slightly late
and I think it was like 30 minutes,
say, of happy hour cocktails
and we were like,
can we get four of those?
Yes.
And they'd be like,
for the table?
You'd be like, no, no, no, each.
Because I want,
and we'll just like paste them out
after we've paid happy hour price. It was happy hour price. It was like $10, no, no, each. Because I want, and we'll just like paste them out after we've paid
happy hour price.
It's happy hour price.
It's like $10 a cocktail.
Yeah, sure,
the last one's warm
by the time you get to it.
It's a little watery
that the ice is melting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's fine.
But it's good
because it was only half price.
But yeah, I get
there's that pressure,
that social anxiety.
Well, apparently,
it's this huge, yeah,
it's this huge.
Financial anxiety
is like one of the,
one of the most popular
anxieties of the moment.
And you think about it,
it is.
Everything costs more.
Didn't they say basic food had gone up 50%?
It was those food items that had gone up.
I literally just opened the article,
price of common foods soaring for 50% in New Zealand.
I thought this year was going to be better.
Yeah, that's not.
I think we might need a bad news break.
And then I got all excited yesterday
because they were like, great news.
One of the banks has put down their interest rates.
And it was like 0.005.
I was like, that's a start, but it's not exactly.
Yeah, that's 70 cents to your weekly shop.
How exciting.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Now, you know I finished Love Island.
Yeah.
And I've actually watched a week ahead of Married at Versailles.
I'm up to date with Australia, not New Zealand.
How did you do that?
Magical powers.
You get the screeners from the TV.
Magical powers.
You get the screeners, don't you?
I have people in high places.
Wow.
Okay, no spoilers.
No spoilers.
No spoilers at all.
I have to be quiet in the maths chat now, though,
because they're talking about this and I'll be like,
let's just see how it all unfolds.
Yeah.
Anyway, so yesterday
I was hankering for some trash
and I was like,
oh, what am I going to watch?
And I can't get into Below Deck.
I can't get into
The Desperate Housewives
of whatever,
Wisteria Lane.
I can't get into any of that.
The only one that people
keep on talking about
and I know it's trash
is Love is Blind.
So I was like, you know what?
I'm going to put it on.
I'm going to put it on when I fold the washing,
and we'll just give it a go.
I've got questions about this show.
Sade started this show because I said,
she was watching and I was like,
that doesn't look like True Detective Season 4
because she's just watched that.
Is it good?
Can you imagine going from the highly rated,
beautifully scripted, you know, wonderfully shot, modern art, True Detective Season 4
to the absolute underbelly of cesspool television
that is lovers blind.
But you've got to give, this is what I mean,
you've got to give your brain a break sometimes.
I did watch a crime documentary before that.
Right.
And then I was like, oh. How many
talk to me as a man who
yesterday just got some
uninterrupted
PlayStation time playing Helldivers 2, spreading
democracy throughout this universe.
How many episodes are there of Lovers Blind?
How many has she got to catch up on? How many
are there to go, I'm just pre-planning my
own PlayStation time? And how blind are they?
Are they all legally blind?
Legally, some of them just wear glasses.
Okay.
You can't say that.
I'm not signed into Netflix.
I don't know how many episodes there are.
Oh, they're on Netflix.
Yeah.
But the premise is, if you don't know...
Final episodes released...
Oh, that's not good news.
Final episodes released tomorrow, says Shannon.
It's fantastic.
See, now I can binge because I'm late.
Because, Shannon, you watch Love is Blind.
You're, um,
can I call you a piece of trash?
Can my man call me a piece of trash?
An absolute piece of trash.
It's my favourite show.
I'm up to date.
No, you said Below Deck
was your favourite show.
Well, they're different.
They're different.
They live in a different
favourite canal.
Well, no, when I watch,
like, a new episode drops
and I'm like, here I go.
Below Deck,
I've seen every episode
about four or five times.
That's my friends, you know? What? You're crazy, man. Because I have questions. So the premise of it is'm like, here I go. Below deck, I've seen every episode about four or five times. That's my friends,
you know?
What?
You're crazy, man.
Because I have questions.
So the premise of it is,
like,
you go,
you're dating through a wall,
you get to know them,
who they are,
you can't ask anything about that,
their appearance or anything.
I love them darting around
the question of race.
It's really funny
watching the white girls be like,
so like,
where,
like,
where would your,
like,
where would you say,
like,
your family,
like,
is from? Like, where, where say your family is from?
Like, where?
And he's like, I'm black.
She's like, oh, okay, okay.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, I thought so.
I just wasn't sure.
Like, asking what they're like.
What would a normal dinner at home be like for you?
Yeah, be like a year and a half.
Yeah, totally.
So they date through this wall, and then they connect,
and they kind of whittle it down to the person.
They get to know each other.
Then they have to propose,
mariage.
Then only then can they get to see each other
and then we follow to see the next four weeks
if they get married.
And I was like,
this is so stupid.
Episode one,
people were getting proposed.
People were like,
two conversations in,
they're like,
hey, how are you?
I'm good, baby.
How are you?
Oh my God.
I think I love you. And then
that's it. They just like, off they go.
Are they all Americans? All American, yeah.
Yeah. And it's, I don't know.
I ask like I care
or will ever watch this shit. No, it's good.
I believed you cared.
Yeah, you did.
That's the sort of question that I don't care
about the answer for. That's going to get me
35 more minutes. Yeah, right. On PlayStation, yeah, for. Yeah, right. That's going to get me 35 more minutes.
Yeah, right.
On PlayStation.
Yeah, while Sade's watching.
Someone's going to take care of these bugs.
They're spreading
across the universe.
Yeah, I know.
I don't know why.
It's addicting.
It's addictive, that show.
And I feel like
I will see it through now.
It's got you.
Another show's got you.
Just as well.
Just as well.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
I'm so excited for this. Awesome. I was
wrong. Our last five on time
was the closest we've had. Yeah.
Because the hundredths of milliseconds or something like that
and I got it wrong. So close.
So close. Okay, well your next chance to win
is coming up at eight, but
No, at four o'clock. Sorry, well, your next chance to win is coming up at eight, but the impossible...
No, at four o'clock.
Sorry, at four o'clock.
Right now, the impossible phone-in topic.
Indeed.
I'm so excited to do this.
Now, you may have seen that Tish Cyrus,
who was Miley Cyrus' mother,
is with...
Oh, no, is married to now, her new husband,
is a guy called Dominic Purcell. Yeah, he was the guy on Prison Break, the Aussie actor.
Yeah, I don't really know him.
He was the guy in prison on Prison Break.
Yes.
Did he break from the prison?
Yeah, his brother Michael Schofield got put into prison with a whole bunch of tattoos on him.
But then got laser tattoo removal.
At a later stage of his life.
Which was such a relief for the people that had to draw the tattoos on them
before each episode.
I bet the makeup team
was relieved.
Anyway, apparently
so Tish and Dominic
are now married.
Apparently
before they got married
Dominic was seeing
Noah Cyrus
Tish's youngest daughter.
Miley's sister.
Who's 24?
Yeah.
And Tish is 54 is He's 54 too
So we know this
For a fact
Or is this
A celebrity rumour
Look it's around
Okay
It's around
It is around
You know
A source close
Oh of course
A source close
That must be true
A source close
To the family
But Apparently Noah was like Ew Oh, of course. A source close, so it must be true. A source close to the family. A source close.
But apparently Noah was like, ooh, that's my ex-boyfriend.
And the mum was like, ooh, that's my now husband.
Okay.
This, be it true or not.
Was she at the wedding?
Because that would be a good. Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
Weird.
Yeah, that's weird.
Now, true or not, true or false, this has sparked within us an impossible phone-up.
And you said, I don't know if this is going to work.
And I'm normally the one that would be a little bit...
Yeah, more pessimistic about it.
But it's New Zealand.
So we want to know if you have shared a partner, not at the same time, obviously.
I don't want those stories.
Yeah. With your mother or your child.
Do you know what I mean?
You worded it perfectly, Vaughn.
Oh, I can't remember what
I said now. Oh, you did it good.
I live in the moment.
Have you shared a lover with
a parent?
Yeah, has your partner been with your
ex? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And vice versa.
Have you been with your parents' ex?
Yeah.
I don't know.
How is this going to, how would that happen?
I mean, my parents are still together.
So my-
Noah Cyrus wasn't at the wedding.
And the day of the wedding,
she was photographed wearing a Billy Ray Cyrus t-shirt.
Wow.
Elsewhere.
Oh yeah, because There's bigger family dramas
there.
So have you shared
a lover with your parent?
But not at the same time.
I reckon
this would happen all the time. Maybe your mum
dated your ex or maybe you dated your
mum's ex.
Strange. Are we sharing stories with the parent?
You know?
Are we taking it as far as dating?
Because I could get the ball rolling, not me personally,
but somebody I know.
What?
A show I made nameless.
Okay.
One evening.
One of your friends?
Nope.
Okay.
I won't go that far as to identify who this person could possibly be.
You're making it sound, Vaughn, like it's you.
It's 100% not me.
I don't have this sort of game.
Plus, I'm a one and done for the night sort of guy.
So this chap, let's say, goes home with a girl.
Yes.
Engages in what you do when you're an adult.
Hugs.
Hugs, yeah.
Hugs, not drugs.
And then is like meandering around the house looking for something to eat afterwards.
The mum comes into the kitchen and she's like, oh, I do declare.
What have we here?
Handsome young gentleman.
Have a snack on me, sir.
And they had a hug as well. And then they had a hug as well.
See?
Straight after the torture.
See?
I told you we wouldn't have trouble finding stories, Hayley.
We've already got one in.
Yes.
Okay.
Same night. Oh, 800 what? Within've already got one in. Yes! Okay, same night.
0800 what?
Within the same sort of window as well.
Yeah.
0800 DARS at MSN number.
We want to take your calls now
for the impossible phone-in topic.
You can text through to 9696.
Have you been with your parents' partner
or ex or vice versa?
And I tell you what, not impossible.
Guys! I told you what, not impossible. Guys!
I told you it wouldn't be.
Oh, I have so many text messages already.
Good.
Yes.
Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly.
Play ZM.
Guys.
Guys.
L.A.V.
I had a sore throat at the start of this, but screaming what so many times as I read messages is just horrible.
We are contemplating, are we going to push play on a podcast special?
We're pushing play on a special little bit of pod with all the content that we simply cannot read on the broadcast radio.
NSFW.
Wow.
So the impossible finding topic today, it's off the back of the broadcast radio. NSFW. Wow. So the impossible finding topic today,
it's off the back of the celebrity news.
Tish Cyrus' husband used to date Noah Cyrus,
Tish's daughter.
But why is this only just coming out now?
Because she's been married to him and with him for a while.
Yeah, I think the feud is kind of coming to light
that Noah's sort of spoken out about being like,
yeah, that's really a bit cocked.
And we just were informed that she didn't go to the wedding.
So our question was, have you been with your
parents' ex
or vice versa?
And the answer is yes.
Overwhelmingly.
It's almost like the majority of our listeners.
Do you think it's because
they're always around and so they meet
and they, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I guess, yeah, because your paths are crossing.
Yeah.
And so you stumble into their life in a certain way
and then a connection forms and off it goes.
Might I, sir and madam, offer this as an appetise?
Absolutely, go for it.
Yes, please.
Anonymous and please don't call me, ick, is what it says.
My mother slept with my ex when we were
In our early 20s
So they broke up, early 20s
Mum sleeps with the ex, I never knew
I got back with the ex
As adults and got married
My mother
Told me about this during an argument
I'm obviously not with him now
After the marriage
The mother sat by and watched her daughter Get married to a boy during an argument. I'm obviously not with him now. After the marriage. Oh my God, mum.
The mother sat by and watched her daughter
get married to a boy that she had slept with.
No.
No.
And then mum,
you could have said something before this.
No, your mum had to take-
Throws it in her face.
No.
During an argument.
Mum had to take that to the grave.
Yes, they all did.
Everybody takes this to the grave.
Everybody takes that to the grave.
If you're listening,
we are taking this to the grave. Okay? It shan't. If you're listening, we're taking this to the grave.
Okay, shan't be spoken of again.
That is wild.
And so she broke up immediately.
Do you get the impression it was straight away when she found out?
She's like, ooh.
And then does she still talk to the mum?
Message back.
Does she still talk to mum?
Do you still talk to mum?
Do you still talk to mum?
Need to know.
And was it an immediate breakup?
I think the listeners will appreciate just taking a moment to reply. It's a little bit of, do you it an immediate breakup? I think the listeners will appreciate. Just take a moment to reply there.
Yep, I walked in on my mum going at it
with my very newly ex-boyfriend on the lounge floor when I was 15.
Oh, mum!
I went to school at an all-boys boarding school in South Africa.
Hello?
I missed the word at the start.
Someone I went to school with at an all-boys boarding school in South Africa. Hooked I missed the word at the start. Someone I went to school with
in middle school.
Oh, okay.
Great, great, great.
Hooked up with the school librarian
who was probably in her late 40s
at the time.
Okay.
Her son also went to the school.
You use your imagination
to fill in the rest.
Now, that's our first
we've had where it's been
male, female, male, male.
Right.
Mother and son sharing a lover.
Okay.
I like this bit about sexuality in our texts.
Me, oh my.
Some of these need a pre-read.
And these are still coming in.
So I'm going to give them a little.
Again, I think the listener will appreciate
just the time taken for a little pre-read.
Oh.
Okay.
I was dating this gorgeous.
You read.
Yeah, I'll read ahead. You read. I think I've found a safe. Okay. I was dating this gorgeous, you read. Yeah, I'll read ahead.
You read.
I think I found a safe.
Yeah.
This girl was, I was dating a gorgeous Danish man.
Okay.
Called it quits.
Then my mother slept with him.
I was 22.
She 42.
And we were flatmates, and I heard it.
Oh!
Oh, my God, Mum.
Mum, get out of my flat!
Mum.
Mazza, Mazza!
Mazza, what are you doing here?
Did you bring me some food for me?
We're going to have a little schnapps,
we're going to have a little strudel.
What the hell?
This girl dated my brother, got pregnant, unfortunately lost the baby,
and then that kind of made their relationship rocky.
Then she decided she wanted to sleep with my fiancé.
So I left my fiancé.
Then she slept with my dad.
So that is a three-point contact there.
Oh, my God.
This person's brother, fiancé, and father all slept with the same woman.
She must have been a 10, right?
Or crazy.
Yeah.
You know sometimes a crazy's disguised as an eight and then later on you're like, it was crazy all along.
I mean it's one thing to collect all the Weet-Bix or Blacks cards, isn't it?
To collect the whole family.
Remember the person we messaged back saying, do you still talk to your mum?
Yeah.
Because the mum slept with the partner after they broke up.
Immediately broke up with the man and didn't talk to mum for seven years.
So it sounds like they've mended that.
Bridges have been mended.
Okay.
But is it ever really mended?
Yeah.
You've just filled in a big pothole, haven't you?
My auntie slept with her daughter's husband
and is still with them.
Wait, slept with the husband
and then got with the husband full time?
Oh my God.
Okay.
Are you going to read the one?
Please don't call me.
Please don't call me.
Please don't call me.
Please don't call me.
One night?
I had a one night thing with my dad's ex,
who was a female.
Yeah.
I'm female and not gay.
She was much younger than dad, a little bit older than me,
and she didn't turn out to be gay either.
Right.
We're still friends and dad doesn't know.
There's dipping a toe in the pool there.
Dip a toe, you know, have a little experimento.
Just a little dabble.
A little dabble.
In the family tree.
Yeah.
Wow.
My mum had a six month affair with her daughter's boyfriend.
That must have been one of the other daughters.
While the daughter was with the boyfriend.
Well, it says affair.
Affair.
I saw this happen in person a few weeks ago at a 21st.
The girl who was 20 was dancing and hooking up with a boy
that I would say was around her age.
Why not? A girl who was 20 was dancing and hooking up with a boy that I would say was around her age. Oh, yeah.
Why not?
An hour later, we all saw her mother, who was 52,
hooking up with the very same boy.
I was shook.
In public.
Wow.
My flatmate has slept with a guy and then slept with his dad,
and they both knew about it.
Oh, no.
My cousin-in-law, this is,
it's happening too much, New Zealand.
It's happening too much.
It is happening a lot.
My cousin-in-law was dating a guy who went out with the mum.
The daughter fell pregnant,
but we're all going to pretend it's not his baby
because it's insane and gross.
And you said it wouldn't happen.
You said we'd be struggling.
Here's one that's sort of
ongoing shall we say
I know a woman who slept with twin brothers
at different times and then slept with the
older brother so I guess only dad's
left now
why not tick them all off
gotta catch them all
we're gonna continue
with a little bit of pod
our spicier texts the ones that we can't read on here Come on. We're going to continue with a little bit of pod.
Our spicier texts.
Yeah.
The ones that we can't read on air.
Might be thinking, surely it can't get spicier.
Well, you just had Kiwi hot.
We've got Indian hot if you want to shut you down.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's, this week's fact of the day theme is things named after the place they were invented.
Okay.
Enjoying it so far.
Yesterday was tuxedos.
We learned about the origins of the term tuxedo,
which was just a different sort of dinner jacket, really,
until it became very popular at Tuxedo Park.
Today, I want to talk to you about the dog breed.
Rottweiler.
Oh, what was that dog we patted on Friday?
Leon Berger.
Berger?
Berger.
That might be. They are the cutest dogs. Burger? Burger. That might be.
They are the cutest dogs.
He was just.
I think that dog lives at the pub in Christchurch.
That cute, eh?
Yeah.
So cute.
They're really, really cute.
They're like a.
His owner wasn't bad either.
St. Bernard sort of vibe.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I wanted to pet the owner.
Really?
This is all like the dog.
Leon Burgers are the same vibe as Rottweilers.
We could do a double hitter.
Yeah, let's do that.
Double please, double please.
Rottweilers are named for the German town of Rottweil,
a southwest German town in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
It's been around for hundreds of years.
It came about in the Middle Ages,
and it was a dog that was sort of named after that because it became popular
there. They believe it was a cross between their native
dogs and dogs that were bought in for herding of cattle.
It became the dog that was perfect for herding of cattle.
There was a build up in World War I because they saw a great demand for Rottweilers as police dogs
and then they were in the in World War I because they saw a great demand for Rottweilers as police dogs.
And then they were in the Second World War as well.
They're strong dogs, eh?
They really... See, they used to pull carts.
Yeah, because they're big and they're strong and they're cute.
They are cute.
They're a bit cute.
Remember in the 1990s the DB Bitter ad?
Was the Rottweiler sitting around having a beer?
No.
You should look it up.
It's a bit of a classic ad.
They had Rottweilers,
but they got a bit of a bad name
during the 90s
and I think they're...
Well, they're very loyal
and so they might bite you
if you walk onto a property.
Well, the Leonberger
is a giant dog breed
that derives its name
from the city of Leonberg
just down the road
in Germany.
Is there a Duchenneville as well?
Because that sounds like it would be a town.
Isn't Dash Hound German for sausage?
Something hound?
Long dog.
Sausage dog.
Long hound.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
The Leonberger is just.
Yeah, they're beautiful.
David Seymour's got one, actually.
Yeah.
He sent it around Parliament.
I know.
It almost deterred me.
It really upset me. He did not strike me as a dog guy. No. He's sitting around Parliament. Which really upset me. I know, it almost deterred me. That really upset me.
He did not stroke me as a dog guy.
No.
He didn't stroke me as an animal lover at all.
No.
Do you know what?
I feel like he would have, like, parrots.
He'd have budgies.
You know, you'd walk in and you'd have a massive cage full of parrots.
Yeah.
He'd be like, I've just got to put a new seed bell in there.
He'd be like, oh, shut up.
Shut up.
What are those white bony husk things that they put in there, They'd be like, oh, shut up. Shut up. What are those white, bony husk things
that they put in there too?
Yes, yeah.
A cuddle, a cuddle.
He's got big budgie vibes.
Big bird energy.
David Seymour.
And he'd say to people,
do you want to come home
and see my birds?
And you'd be like,
no, I'm all right.
Dachshund is German
for badger dog
because they would use them
to hunt badgers.
They'd nip down
the little badger hole.
I wouldn't tango with a badger.
No, neither would I.
Brave little badger.
That's probably why
Dachshunds have got you. Sometimes you'll see them yapping andger. No, neither would I. I wouldn't tango with a badger. Brave little badger. That's probably why dash hounds have got you.
Sometimes you'll see them yapping and you're like,
you've got a lot of bravado for a little sausage.
Yeah.
Do you think I could get a Leon burger?
Do you think I could handle that?
Yeah, I'd hang around.
Well, no, you do need a big dog.
You'd look foolish with a small dog.
Oh, no, we can't have a silly one.
Yeah, imagine you're foolish.
Aaron would look like an absolute, I'll say it, twat.
Wow.
With a small dog.
Imagine him walking a sausage dog.
Well, he wanted a corgi originally.
How embarrassing.
I know, he's grown up.
He's grown up.
Grow up and get a massive German dog.
Can you please get a Leon Berger?
And I'll come around all the time.
Yes, I know.
So Batten-Württemberg is a funny word to say.
But it's a province in southwest Germany
that apparently every town's got a bloody dog named after it.
What's that dog?
And today's fact of the day is
Rottweilers are named after Rottweil, a village in Germany,
and Leonburg is named after Leonburg, another town in Germany.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There is a woman called Meg McKenzie on TikTok who shared her fail-proof, works-every-time,
pick-up move at a bar.
How she likes...
Being a woman?
To get the laugh.
You're going to play it a little bit cooler.
Being hot?
Yeah.
Is it being hot?
Is she hot?
She's pretty.
Okay.
So her move is, right, I'm at a bar,
I walk into the bar, and I see a boy that I like. Okay. Let's say I've caught eyes with Vaughn. Okay. So her move is, right, I'm at a bar, I walk into the bar,
and I see a boy that I like.
Okay.
Let's say I've caught eyes with Vaughn.
Okay.
Duh.
And then I go, yeah, and then I catch eyes with Fletch.
Okay.
You catch eyes, so you see someone at the bar that you're like,
that's nice.
Now, they've got to be a little bit close to the bar,
the actual, like, ordering area, around it or at the bar or something like that.
So you go up to the bar.
This is her method, not mine.
You go up to the bar and you wait at the bar.
You do not talk to the person that you're attracted to.
You do not pay them any attention.
Do you look at them?
No.
Okay.
Do not look at them.
Then when it's your time, the bartender's going to come over to you and say,
hey, what do you want to drink?
And then you go, you go I don't know
And then you're gonna turn to the person
Who you wanna get a drink from
And be like
What are you drinking
They'll be like
Oh I'm having a
I'm having a beer
Sounds good
And you say to the bartender
I'll just get two beers
And the bartender goes
Cool
Alright
Does that
Now while he's getting your drinks ready
Do not talk to the hot person
That you wanna hook up with
Don't do it
Don't do it
Get on your phone What if they're trying to talk to me Just person that you want to hook up with. Don't do it. Don't do it. Get on your phone.
What if they're trying to talk to me?
Just smile and don't say anything.
Because you know the ladies.
Yeah, they love to.
It's hard to hold them back, I know.
But you pay them no mind.
You get on your phone, look busy.
Busy enough that they won't disturb you.
That's getting rude.
That rude.
Yeah.
You're nagging them?
Then the bartender comes over,
say he's got you two beers
or whatever drinks that, you know,
you've ordered, and you go, thank he's got you two beers or whatever drinks that, you know, you've ordered
and you go, thank you.
Then you just slide one to the person
who you're trying to pick up
and you go, have a good night
and you walk away.
Don't say anything.
Don't, like, what you're doing there, mate,
is you're putting a little bit of burley.
Yeah, I'm just a little bit of burley.
I'm dropping the line.
Dropping the line?
You put the burley down there, you're going to go park your butt down the way.
You're going to drop the line over there.
You've just absolutely caught them off guard.
You've just touched the butt?
Yeah.
And then the whole act of walking away, it's like,
it's a little bit true to me and Kevin King.
You're walking away and you're going like.
It really is.
I don't know.
When I heard this, I was like, that's hot.
That's a big, powerful move.
But just a woman out of nowhere buying a guy a drink is just like,
what does she want?
What's the trick?
There's a trick here.
There's a trick.
She wants my kidneys.
I'm going to be on a TikTok video.
But you're telling me if someone does this move to you,
say you're single, someone does this move to you
and then they're walking off to wherever they're going in the bar,
that you're not following them with your eyes at least but you're not finishing the beer and saying hey
thanks so much can i get you another one now we're rocking a roll if she's a woman and he's a man
that's all she needs to have done exactly been assigned the right gender of birth And a man is just like, oh, they're nice. I think regardless of...
Women don't need to try when they go away.
They do.
They do still.
No, they don't.
They don't really.
Nah.
I've got a friend, she's hapless,
and she's always finding herself in the middle of threesomes and such.
Oh, I know.
Look, although I never went behind empty-handed.
She's all like, well, I don't know which way north is.
How did I end up in this MFF?
Do you know...
I don't know.
But do you know, if I was single and I was out and about.
Please don't say the initials of my cat's name again.
Very off-putting.
We know that's what it was inspired by.
No, he's a MMF.
Oh, yeah, he is.
And for good reason.
I said MFF.
Oh, right.
Okay, fuel.
But if I was out, if I went out to a bar and someone did this,
I mean, because it's hard these days, right? You're trying to hit on people and a bar and someone did this, I mean, because like, it's hard these days,
right?
You're trying to hit on people
and a lot of women are like,
oh,
I'm just trying to,
and it's like,
you've got to be
a bit more subtle about it.
This would get me 100%.
That's not subtle though.
That's a hot move.
It's a power play.
But if someone did that to me
and I didn't want to hook up with them,
I'd...
You'd just be like,
sweet,
I got a drink.
Yeah,
I'd be like,
thanks,
cool.
And you'd appreciate the power play.
I'd appreciate the move, but it gives you the decision because they're not lingering around you and be like Sweet I got a drink Yeah I'd be like Thanks cool And you'd appreciate The power play I'd appreciate the move
But it gives you the decision
Because they're not
Lingering around you
You'd be like
You smell nice
I can't buy you a drink
Does that not work anymore
No it doesn't work
I've been meaning
To bring this up
Worked a treat in 2004
Yesterday
It was so rainy
In Auckland yesterday
And I got home And I hadn't gone to the gym.
My afternoon hadn't really planned out how I expected it to.
So after I watched a couple of episodes of Love is Blind and one of Maths.
Is that why it hadn't planned out how you thought it was?
I was hankering for some trash.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to do a workout.
I've got dumbbells in the garage.
I'll go into the garage
I'll close the garage door so that the rain
doesn't come in and get all the wood that's in there wet
and I'll just do a little workout and I did
I was pretty pleased with myself and I was listening
to a
spicy book
while I did the workout
I don't know how people listen to podcasts or
spicy books when they're working out
I think I wasn't going that hard.
Like, it wasn't like a super, like, woo, woo, woo workout.
Right.
So, I was like, I'm at a good point in the book.
Okay.
Boy, oh, boy.
It was a good chapter.
Okay.
So, I was listening to this.
And then I was like, oh, God, do you know what I haven't done for a while?
It was a bit of breathing work.
Because remember I went to, like, a breathing therapist?
Yeah.
For a while.
And then I just forgot.
No, like, every, like, two seconds one goes in and then every other two seconds
one comes out.
Whereas I'm going in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out.
So I thought after my workout I'd lay down on the concrete floor
of my garage and I'll do a little breathe.
I woke up 40 minutes later and I was wearing only my
bra and my
workout leggings and I worked out in Crocs
and I was
fast asleep. She's a lifter.
40 minutes on my
concrete floor of my garage and I'd just fallen asleep.
Did you wake up cold on your back?
I was freezing. It was absolutely
freezing and I was like
what's happening because it's like an aluminium garage and the rain was like.
The original brown noise.
The original brown noise.
It was actually kind of revolutionary.
But man, I had such a sore like butt.
I was going to say, were you sore?
Because sometimes you fall asleep in your bed on the pillow.
Yeah.
And you wake up in the morning and you'll be sore.
And you'll be like, what happened? And then other times you'll fall asleep on the pillow and you'll wake up in the morning and you'll be sore and you'll be like, what happened?
And then other times you'll fall asleep on the floor
and you'll wake up
and you'll be like, my spine's never felt better.
Yeah, I know. That's why you need to get a mattress that's as hard as a floor.
No, I didn't.
Because it's like this awful
cold grey concrete.
I had a very sore butt and a sore head.
I think I sort of thrash about when I sleep.
Especially considering what was playing in my ears,
you know what I mean?
Right, so you breathed yourself to sleep.
I breathed myself to sleep.
I mean, I suppose that was the point of it.
That's how I get to sleep if I'm struggling to get to sleep.
You do the breathing thing in, don't you?
I can't be bothered.
You're seven in.
Is it seven in?
Yeah.
Hold it for eight, breathe out for four.
I don't do that when I need to sleep.
You breathe out for longer? You breathe out for longer. You breathe out for longer for eight. Breathe out for four. I don't do that when I need to sleep. No, don't you breathe out for longer?
You breathe out for longer.
You breathe out for longer.
Am I breathing out on four?
That's why you're...
I'm huffing.
Yeah.
You've got to go...
Like that.
That's really healthy breath.
Slow breath.
So it's breathe in for 0.5.
Breathe out for 20.
20? If we all do it. No, it's breathe in for 0.5, breathe out for 20. 20?
If we all do it.
No, it's too hard.
I'm going to pass out.
See you, see you later.
Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Susie Kato is a very good friend of mine.
She's already sued me twice.
So if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,
that would be great.
Tell her I'll review her five stars.
Yeah.
If she does the same for this podcast.
Yeah.
And then she tells all her friends.
And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
