Starting point is 00:01:16 For Briscoes Coming up in the top six Hmm Sell a little pole Before seven Are you social media-ing Less Or trying Are you trying To are you social media-ing less? We're trying.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Are you trying to get off social media less? No. No? About the same for you? Love Instagram. And there I shall remain. You're addicted. I love Instagram so much.
Starting point is 00:01:35 You had a good thick vein of content yesterday. It was almost like work was getting in the way. I almost sort of thought maybe I'll pop off, you know, I'll go home because I've really had a deep vein of good content. Next, so it's finally happened. You're taking off. I'm taking off. I'm
Starting point is 00:01:53 going on a medical trip. Dipping a toe into the world of medical tourism. You've always said Turkey. I've been thinking about this for a long time and the journey starts next week. Play ZM's F Flashborn and Hayley. Well, you know, I've been
Starting point is 00:02:09 thinking about taking some trips to get some medical work done. I've been thinking about that for some time. Yeah. Turkey's been on the cards. Yep. Yep. I think that's just a little nip, tuck. Nip, tuck, pull, tighten, up, up. Yep. A little bit of that.
Starting point is 00:02:26 And so that was sort of the, you know, and they call it, what do they call it, medical tourism? Yes. People are going to Bangkok to get check worked out. Who is it with the earlobes at the moment? Everybody's like, oh, she's had a facelift. Yeah. She's got saggy butthole earlobes from wearing heavy earrings
Starting point is 00:02:43 and then when you get a facelift and it pulls everything else, you can see them. So you need to kind of get that done at the same time, do you? Yeah. Like the face isn't aging, but the ears have. And so the juxtaposition of the two is jarring people at the moment. So, yeah, I have thought of, you know, the idea of medical tourism is not so obscure to me. I've been thinking about it for a while.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And Vaughan and I have said you are just so perfect and beautiful. I've been thinking about it for a while. And Vaughan and I have said you are just so perfect and beautiful. What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about? What on earth would you fix? Yeah. I'm just trying to get ahead of it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Getting ahead of its inevitable demise. But I got a call yesterday for an appointment that I've been wanting to have for a long wait time to see a specialist. Oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Like I've got a specialist appointment. I was lucky to get in on your birthday, Vaughn, on the 20th of Feb. Oh, okay. It was only last week. We're not doing something. What are you, what part are you getting looked at? Shoulder.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Shoulder. My shoulder. Not the earlobes? Wait, what? Oh, okay. Yeah, no, the shoulder. If you wanted to. While you're at the shoulder,
Starting point is 00:03:43 because right next to the shoulder, the specialist might have some knowledge of the area. What's wrong with my earlobes? They touch your shoulder as well, right? Yeah, yeah. They're dragging on the shoulder. My flesh tunnels are my 20s. They've come back to haunt me.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Get your flesh tunnels nipped. So I got a call yesterday, and it was about I need to see a neurologist in an Auckland where I am. Because of your knee. Because of my knee tingle. Tingle, nerve, neuro, neurology. I'm just trying to spell it out for this dipshit
Starting point is 00:04:08 that doesn't have a medical degree. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You never forget the uneducated. No, you don't. Yeah, I'm happy to translate to layman's terms. Yeah. So I got a call from a neurologist yesterday
Starting point is 00:04:21 and they're like, we can fit you in. And then I was like, oh, oh, oh, when? When? Oh my God, I thought I was going to be waiting for like six months for this. And then I was like, oh, oh, oh, when? When? Oh my God, I thought I was going to be waiting for like six months for this. Yeah. And they said,
Starting point is 00:04:28 oh, just when are you free? What? Wait, a specialist doesn't say when are you free? Yeah, I don't know. You're probably busy. You've got Fridays. Imagine if you'd been like now
Starting point is 00:04:37 and then they were like, hello. Hello. Wait. But what's the catch? You have to go to Thailand or Turkey or Cancun or something. It's a long journey and I am looking up local things I can do to make the journey worth it while I'm there.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Okay. It will take no time off of work. I am going. I am going for a medical appointment. Medical tourism. Medical tourism from Auckland to Hamilton. Wow. The subtropical paradise.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Hamilton neurology, not busy. Have you thought about like tacking on a couple of days in a resort? Well, I have thought about it. For example. Yeah. I wanted to make the most of the trip. Do you know what I mean? But I was like, do you do it before the appointment where you're feeling more relaxed?
Starting point is 00:05:20 And then at the end you do the medical thing because I've got to recover from just the consult. Yeah. The consult in which we'll talk to recover from just the consult. Yeah. The consult in which we'll talk about things and nothing will happen. Yeah. Or do I do the appointment and then on the way home I could stop at like Hampton Downs. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Do you know what I mean? I could stop at the Speedway. Maybe a spa in Mercer. I could do a spa. A day spa. A spa and a bacon sandwich in Mercer. Yeah. An ice cream in Pocono.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Oh my God, I could pick up some bacon. I mean, there's all sorts of things I could get on my trip. It's not really medical. So I planned out my trip because it's going to be a big day. So I have to leave or finish work, say 10 o'clock. It's an hour 26. So I've got to think about travel, like comfort, what I want to wear for the trip, what I want to wear for the travel.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah. Do I need a passport? Yes. I'll check that. Yeah. Oh, it's exciting. Unless you're a sovereign citizen, then you don't need a passport or a driver's license or a registration.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah. Or permission to build a house. Or to pay tax. Or anything you don't want. Yeah, anything really. Okay, how do I find out if I'm a sovereign citizen? I think you just declare yourself one. I am a sovereign citizen.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I spend a lot of time online going down some rabbit holes. Well, I'm on TripAdvisor currently, just looking up things for my journey from work to Hamilton. Wow, this is your first step in medical tourism. I'm really excited. I think people are really going to see the difference. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. From your local community Facebook page, really excited. I think people are really going to see the difference. Hi there, news. Hi!
Starting point is 00:06:55 News yesterday. Hi, sweetie. Hi, sweetie. Cheesy pleaser. The Briscoes group said that it's been a tough year for the Briscoes group. Well, it's been a tough year for everybody. Everybody. What did they say apart from, what was this thing on the news last night? Apart from, was it COVID? This is the worst recession we've had since 1991.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, wow. Now. It's like real bad. It's like real bad. Guys, it's real bad. I still can't get over there was a Reddit thread in New Zealand being like, I applied for a retail job at Spotlight and on Seek at the bottom it tells you
Starting point is 00:07:31 how many other people have applied for the job and it was like, well, how much was on that one? 700? Yeah. There's people on there that are like, I've applied for a job recently, it was 1,300. Someone said I can be there. That was 2,500 applied for this job that I applied for.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Crazy, eh? It's tough. It's wild. So it's going to be a tough first half as the Briscoe group records near flat financial year sales. Well, that's the thing. If you don't have a job or you're saving, you're scraping, you're just getting by, you're not replacing your fry pan, are you? The fry pan must remain.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yeah. Just add more oil. You know what I mean? That non-stick surface. That's gone. It's gone. Long gone. More oil.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Spit out the Teflon that's coming off. Yeah. Don't swallow that. Little Teflon flakes. More oil. Spit it out. Top six signs Briscoe's doing it tough. Number six on the list.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Tammy's about to lose her wig budget. Tammy, no. She is a national treasure. She's a national treasure. But if you don't know, that's definitely a wig. Yeah, put her on a banknote. You know? Actually, it's time.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Who are we getting rid of? Go on. The Queen. Yeah, the Queen. that's definitely a wig. Yeah, put her on a banknote, you know? Actually, it's time.

Starting point is 00:08:33 Tammy. Tammy. Number five on the list of the top six zones. Briscoe's doing it tough. 40% of the cutlery's been used before and just licked clean and put back in the drawer, not washed. Sometimes you can't tell. I don't think that's the case.
Starting point is 00:08:46 You ever do that as a kid? Like use a fork and be like I don't want to wash it. Lick, wipe, wipe, wipe. On a shirt, back in the drawer. Do you ever like use a teaspoon
Starting point is 00:08:55 like you might just make a coffee or just put one teaspoon or something in and you're like in the dishwasher. It just seems so wasteful. It's so wasteful. I always leave a spoon out.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I'll use that again next time I make a cup of coffee. Or I won't. But I'll grab five of them out of the sink at once. Oh, yeah, totally. I saw something on Instagram the other day that was like, why do we all do this? And it was someone using the bread knife and then just being like,
Starting point is 00:09:18 wipe on the shirt. It's just bread. It's just bread. It's not weird. It was like you're spooning dry stuff. Yeah, yeah. Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap. Wipe, wipe, wipe. Bit of a wipe. Back in the drawer. Put it back. It's not bread. It's just bread. It's not weird. It's like you're spooning dry stuff. Yeah, yeah. Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Wipe, wipe, wipe. Bit of a wipe. Back in the drawer. Put it back. It's not douchey. Number four on the list of the top six signs Briscoe's doing it tough. The flannels have mascara stains and tears on them. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That's bleak. Yeah, just. Why have these all been cried into? They're big stores, and all I'm saying is when they're empty, it's so easy to sneak a work cry in. Yeah. Get into the flannel department. Pop by the flannels.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Number three on the list of the top six signs Briscoe's is doing it tough. They can only afford one sale a month from a here on out, guys. Oh, no. It'll go all month. It'll literally go all month. What a sale. Yeah. They love their sales.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Number two on the list of the top six signs Briscoe's doing it tough. They can't afford the big sales voiceover guy anymore. Oh, no. They've had to hire me because I'm cheap. Give it a go. Come on. 30% off Manchester this weekend. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Briscoe. Jarring. Quite jarring. Far out. I can see why that garage door company let you go. Yeah, they did. Garador. I was reminded yesterday when I was programming
Starting point is 00:10:24 a new garage door remote and I saw Garador. I was like, oh, I used to be there. Used to be me. Used to be, they did. Garador. I was reminded yesterday when I was programming a new garage door remote and I saw Garador I was like, oh, I used to be there. Used to be me. Used to be the voiceover. Number one on the list of the top six signs briskos are doing it tough. The slogan isn't briskos you never buy better anymore. It's briskos you guys never buy.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Briskos you never buy. Just a bit of reverse psychology to get people back in the store. Yeah. Anyway, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. I'm going tomorrow to support. What are you going to get?
Starting point is 00:10:52 I need a new food scales because Aaron has commandeered my food scales for bleach. Why? Bleach? Weighing out bleach. Why is he weighing bleach? It's a spa pole. Ah. Weighing out spa chemicals.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah, I've commandeered, but they can't be wiped down. No, but he's putting bleach on it and sometimes I roll dog chicken on it. I don't know if he's just raw dogging bleach into the spa. Yeah, ginola. You're talking chlorine or something. Ginola. I don't know if you just put ginola in your spa. Yeah, half a tub of ginola each day.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Half a tub? Yeah. What's wrong with that? I did wonder how you were getting whiter and he was getting lighter. Yeah, edgy. That is today's Subsox. I know you were about to talk about the best days to book flights. I am.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Let me tell you a terrible day to book flights. What? The 14th of February from Auckland to Dunedin via Christchurch. But I've got a boyfriend in Dunedin for Valentine's Day. I need to go and see him.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I saw this on Reddit. How much? Before I get to that, I want to put a personal tag on it. I've got a mate who lives in Dunedin and we don't get to see him very often and it's cheaper for all of us to chip in to fly him up.
Starting point is 00:12:02 We've done it before. He flies up. We pick him up from the airport. We have a lads weekend. We drop him back off at the in to fly him up. We've done it before. He flies up. We pick him up from the airport. We have a lads weekend. We drop him back off at the airport. Pop him home. It's easy for everybody. It's the cheapest option.
Starting point is 00:12:12 But. But. That's when uni's going back, right? Dude. So, in the lead up. Wednesday the 12th, $385 one way. Which, even at that price, pretty expensive here in New Zealand. But a week and a half out,
Starting point is 00:12:26 you'd expect that. Thursday the 13th, it jumps up to $427 one way. I will remind you at this stage, ladies and gents, this is via Christchurch. This isn't even a direct flight. Not even a direct flight! Auckland to Christchurch, 45 minutes,
Starting point is 00:12:42 carry on three hours, 15 thereabouts. Oh, my God. Friday the 14th of February, Valentine's Day. Galentine's Day. Yeah. To go from Auckland to Dunedin, one way, no bag. No bag.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Via Christchurch. How much? One time you're stopping. You could be in Christchurch for two hours, by the way. It could be a two hour layover. $717 one way, no bag, not direct. That is nuts. How can you even,
Starting point is 00:13:11 how is that even possible that that's allowed? Like, how is that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Google Flights that I love using. I love Google Flights. Have you booked some flights? Have you're booking flights or you're wanting to go away this year,
Starting point is 00:13:27 set a little search, save a search, and then if they drop down in price, you'll get an alert in your email. On the, what day was it again? 14th. 14th. You can go from Auckland to Los Angeles on the 14th of February
Starting point is 00:13:43 on Fiji Airways for $548. So are you going to Dunedin or are you going to LA? You're going to go to Disneyland. It's crazy. Even Air New Zealand direct to LA one way is $866. A week and a half away. It's terrible. The students.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I don't. And I guess that's it, right? It's the Friday. Everybody's going, the students. I don't, yeah, and I guess that's it, right? I guess, but yeah, there'll be no seats. It's the Friday. Yeah, everybody's going down for uni. People are getting back in to uni. But I don't understand when they're like, there's not that many seats.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Cool, just sell them and then they're gone. Like, don't make them 800 bucks. Well, another travel tip for those that are wanting to book some flights, maybe a mid-year holiday or you're doing your OE. Yeah, Expedia, the travel website, they have gathered data through years and years of searching and you can kind of look up everything on Expedia, can't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Hotels and everything. So the cheapest day to book a flight is Sunday. Those are the days that you would save 21% on domestic, 22% on international flights, compared to if you booked the same flight on a Friday. Not the day to travel, but you're actually on your computer on that day. Really?
Starting point is 00:14:54 Okay. Sunday is the day. Because I'm looking at the travel day here from your $717, you can get the same flight on Sunday for under half that at $348. Oh yeah, you're just not going on Friday. No, but this isn't the travel day. This is the day to book. To book.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Right, to book. The best day to travel. You're going to see better deals on a Sunday. You're going to see better deals on a Sunday. The best day to actually travel, they say Friday, which I always feel like in New Zealand domestically is not the case. No, I would have thought Saturday is because people like to go away for the weekend on Friday
Starting point is 00:15:26 and then come back on Sunday. Yeah. So they said travellers who leave on the last day of the working week, leave on Friday, tend to save 14% compared to those who departed on a Sunday, which is the most expensive day to fly because that's trying to get home, right? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:15:43 You're getting home for Monday work. Yeah. So if we're booking flights, you should be doing it at the end of the week. You've got the whole week to think about it. If you're booking flights,
Starting point is 00:15:50 you've just got to book months in advance now. Also, like, what is it going to cost if you were to leave Auckland, drive down the island, get on the ferry and then drive to Dunedin?
Starting point is 00:15:59 What does that all add up to? Do you know what I mean? Is it cheaper? Well, the thing about relying on that ferry is that's the biggest gamble of them all. Yeah, right. You know, do you want to get to Dunedin or not?
Starting point is 00:16:09 Yeah. Is the bigger question you've got to ask of that. So you just have to pay the $7.50 or whatever it was. Yeah, or go a day later, I think. Go a day later. Or earlier. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Silly little pole today is are you trying to spend less time on social media in 2025? No, I'm going to crank it up. You're going to crank it up? Yeah, man. You're going to get paid for the mental health even more. Yeah. I want to scroll for longer and later into the night. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah. Blast that blue light straight into your eyeballs. 60% of people said they are trying to spend less time on social media. 40% said no. I think we all know how bad it is. Oh, it's terrible for you. It's terrible for your mental health and how you see yourself. Also, this only said, are you trying?
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah, this is true. And 40% of people were like, nope. I've got no interest in trying. I don't try. They've just given in to the algorithm. Rebecca said, yes, while I sit here flicking between Instagram and Facebook, doom scrolling. Brain rotting. Get out of it, Rebecca.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Bad habit. Facebook, I think we can kind of turn our back on. We keep it so that we can use it for login and things and chats. Yeah. Groups. Yeah. That's it. Lou said, need scroll zombie.
Starting point is 00:17:43 She used the zombie emote. Need scroll. Need scroll. Need scroll. Ben, reels bring me joy like nothing else. It's my only hobby or interest. Why would I stop? Oh, Ben. Oh, Ben.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Oh, Ben. When you're better hobbies and interests, we can pass them to you. We love reels. We love reels and we love a laugh. And it's a great source of comedy. And we will often say when we're scrolling reels, man, the internet's done it again. But we shouldn't say it's our only hobby or interest, I feel, Ben. That's an unhealthy people.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Go play some lawn bowls. Go outside and take your brother with you. Yeah, take your brother with you. No, take him with you. Get out there. Fiona said, no, I'm not coming back or even trying to. My main content is dogs and puppies. Happiness is a woofy.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah. Woofy. I mean, if that makes you happy. If it makes you happy. Yeah. Amy said, literally, would delete it if schools and sports clubs didn't use it as their main form of communication.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Serves a purpose. Yeah. Sally said, oh, I'm about to sneeze. That's not what Sally said. That's what I said. I was like, why did Sally text in?
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's ridiculous that she needs to let us know every time she's about to sneeze. Sally said, in the United States, I deleted TikTok during the short period it wasn't available. Now I can't re-download it from the Apple store. Oh, even though it's been unbanned? Yeah. I've heard that's happened to a few people. Hmm. Huh.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Interesting. Um, huh. Sarah says, bah ha ha ha, no, I'm due with a baby in May and what else do you do when you're feeding in the middle of the night so you don't impulse shop? Social. Social media.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Socials. Lisa said, Yes, I waste so much time and could be doing far better things with my life, like living my own life, instead of vicariously through others using the app OneSec, and it's working.
Starting point is 00:19:22 There's an app called OneSec. O-N-E-Sec. NotSec. O-N-E-Sec. Not the... O-N-E-Sec. Yeah. App blocker focus. OneSec is a focus app that tackles the problem of unconscious social media use at its root.
Starting point is 00:19:35 It's designed to change your habits on a long-term basis. So it's going to interrupt my social media scrolling. Yes. Why would I download that? Yes, I tap, says Alicia, after opening this poll only 15 minutes after it was posted. 15 minutes after it was posted is not too bad. It's when you're the first person to respond and you vote for it and it says 100% in your favour and you're like, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah. Jordan says, obviously not working if I'm here answering your silly little poll. Okay, don't be angry at us. That's also a good point, though. People who are trying and succeeding in using social media less won't have voted in the poll. Oh, yeah. Because they're not on social media. So the results won't be accurate.
Starting point is 00:20:19 No. A statistician would tell us that it was a flawed way of looking into it. And then we'd be like, shut up, nerd. Yeah, and we'd be like, loser, four-eyed freak, and stuff like that. Whoa. Ooh, nerd, get out of here. Get a girlfriend, you virgin, and stuff like that. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Just classic. Classic ribbing. Do you know what I mean? Light-hearted bastard. All right, pizza face, come on. That kind of stuff. She's really shooting from the head. Just going old school.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah. Going old school on it. Loser. Really reminding them what life is like. Yeah. That silly little poem. Here's a great idea. We're sick of just sitting around when we're hanging out.
Starting point is 00:20:59 You know, go over to each other's houses. What are we doing? Having drinks and chatting and then we go home and that's it. What's wrong with that? Boring. Okay. We need things to do. And I what's wrong with that? Boring. Okay. We need things to do. And I'm not, oh, I did get two new board games.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Oh, which ones? Dixit. D-I-X-I-T. Yeah. Which is like these art cards and Art cards? Yeah, and in crypto. You can't just say art cards and assume we're going to work out how the game works. Yeah, I know. There's art cards. So everyone gets little cards
Starting point is 00:21:27 and they've got little bits of artwork on them and then you have to use terms to describe it. So you may say a wintry breath. And then everyone goes to their deck and they pick one from their card that they think is the most like that
Starting point is 00:21:43 embodies a wintry breath. And you all put it out. And then you have to choose which one you think is the actual one. So it's Cards Against Humanity for Art Wanks. No, but it's fun. You'll like it. I think I'd like that. You'd like that.
Starting point is 00:21:55 And then Encrypto is the other one, which is... Right. Yeah, anyway. But that is not what is taking the internet by storm. We're done with that. Lame, lame, lame.

I would like to know from you, my humble, delicious, beautiful listener, that what are you currently gatekeeping? Now, gatekeeping, I've just looked up the definition of it, like, strictly.
Starting point is 00:25:57 The act of controlling access to information or resources. So you're going, like, I know something, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. And we use it now to be like, if you're gatekeeping something, like a little something that you want everyone to know, you've got to give me the keys to the gate. And I was thinking this yesterday because
Starting point is 00:26:15 girls are really good at this. You may remember, I was like, I found the best bra and I was gatekeeping that and then I told all of our listeners this bra and they bought it all. But yesterday do you know what? I just realised it's not doing it for me anymore. So actually everyone who I made go out and buy that bra. You might be like
Starting point is 00:26:31 it's not really actually that good. Wait, have you experienced a change in the chest? A chest change? I don't think there's a chest change I mean they are. Like a C change. They're going lower and lower every day for sure and I think maybe it's time for a bit more support. And I was like, who's gatekeeping the bras that we're buying now?
Starting point is 00:26:50 Like, surely the girls are all there being like, these are the bras. And I hit up my best friend. I thought it was by my, I don't know why I would get targeted advertising for skims. But I'm getting it. Well, you keep women in every colour posing in their underwear? You keep clicking on all those women, Vaughan. That's why they keep
Starting point is 00:27:07 coming back up. I thought she was talking to me. She was talking and I couldn't hear because it was on mute by default. I thought she was talking to me. So I clicked on it. I can't miss an opportunity. She might have been telling me something very informative. Well, because then I was talking to my best friend about this. I was like, what bra? She's like, dude, I've been
Starting point is 00:27:23 gatekeeping this bra for eight. Just let me open your world. And she sent me a link to, oh, my God, this is so terrible. I've talked about it. Now I can't remember what it is. I'll find the link and I won't gatekeep. I'll share with everyone. And then she was like, I need to find the best gym undies. She was like, oh, try this.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And we're all out here trying this. I said, mate, I've been gatekeeping these undies. And I sent her the Ola undies. They're just absolutely perfect. And I was like, we need to gatekeeping these undies and I sent her the Ola undies. They're just absolutely perfect. And I was like, we need to be sharing these things. So after they... The car. Yeah, like the cars.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Like Uber. Instead of having mints and water, they have gym jeans. They have undies. Yeah, it's perfect. It's like, Fletch, you with your lip balm. You know, and everyone's like, what's the best lip balm? I need to know the lip balm. And you're like...
Starting point is 00:28:03 The best lip balm is no lip balm. I don't want to let people know. Oh, shut up. Oh, whatever.? I need to know the lip balm. And you're like, I don't know. The best lip balm is not a lip balm. I don't want to let people know. Oh, shut up. Oh, whatever. You get addicted to it the more you use. Yeah, your body becomes reliant on it. Well, this is one I want.
Starting point is 00:28:12 We've got to help each other out. Okay. I want to know, what have you been gatekeeping? Have you got like the best this? You're like, I've got the best gym undies. Like a product that you absolutely love. A product you absolutely love that you're like, the people must know.
Starting point is 00:28:27 That you feel maybe people don't know about enough. Do you know what is always one? When people go, you know, the world of skincare at the moment, everyone's like, this is so amazing. People are like, use Cetaphil. It is the number one. Maybe you've got a product that you're absolutely loving and using at the moment and you're like,
Starting point is 00:28:42 the people must know. That's what I want to know. Okay, 0800DARLS at M. Call us now. You can text through 9696. Mint. Mint. It's meat, but it's all minced up. That's not gatekeeping, babe. No. What are you
Starting point is 00:28:55 currently gatekeeping? What is the best thing you're using at the moment? We have to know. Yeah, well, don't gatekeep. Share us. Share with us. I do. I always offer you a loz. Yeah, you do. You do. This is what we want to know at the moment. Like, what is the, like, are you sitting on something right now that the people must know?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Whether it's a product that you use all the time. Yeah. Like, what I'm looking for was, like, what are the girls buying for their bras these days? Surely we all know it. I want to know it as well. Lots of messages in for the gym undies oh yeah I mean I know you guys have your own
Starting point is 00:29:31 I just wear my shoes going on yeah but we've got tights and bits and lips you've got to get it just right now someone said posy intimates camel toe be gone is that the name of the undie or that's just their statement on it you've got to get it just right. Now, someone said Posey Intimates, Camel Toby gone. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Is that the name of the undie? Or that's just their statement on it? I don't think the name of the undie is Camel Toby gone. It would be a great name for an undie, though. It would really spell out. It would be a great tagline, I think. Yeah, Posey Intimates. Are these the ones we were talking about the other day
Starting point is 00:29:57 that have the sort of cardboard insert to prevent, oh, yeah, no, these look good. There you go. That's a good one. Jiminey's very popular. Best Jumanji for women are a New Zealand local brand called Squatties. Squatties? Squatties! Like Watties.
Starting point is 00:30:12 But Squatties. But Squatties. Yeah, and they're made in a canning factory in Hawke's Bay as well. Just like Watties. Just like Watties. Yeah, these look like great Jumanji's. Black seamless panties from Kmart. Now you know that word upsets Fletch. I'm sorry great gym undies. Black seamless panties from Kmart. Now, you know that word upsets Fletch.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I'm sorry for saying panties. Thank you. He prefers pantaloons. Pantaloons. You know I prefer... Knickerbockers. Yes, he likes to say his ladies in their knickerbockers. Yes, yes. Black seamless...
Starting point is 00:30:37 Gymnasium knickerbockers. Knickerbockers from Kmart. Square by the comfort and they don't go ugly after a few washes. The seamless... Yeah, but I mean, I guess it's individualised because for me that's, I eat those alive, if you know what I mean. Beg your pardon? Yeah, maybe don't tell us that.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I'm just saying. I never want to hear those words out of your mouth again because if I ever hear the man in the safari was eaten alive by a lion, I'm just going to be taking it back to this moment. Hey, we've got the men coming through here. Okay. Step one underwear for men, life changing. Step one.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Okay. I love this because I feel like underwear is something that once you get it right, here we are. We're going to stay there for years. I always buy the same undies. Yeah, me too. This is why we need to share these things. We can't have people out there in 2025
Starting point is 00:31:24 wearing uncomfortable underwear, whether it's to the same undies. Yeah, me too. This is why we need to share these things. We can't have people out there in 2025 wearing uncomfortable underwear, whether it's to the gym or elsewhere. Step one underwear, bamboo. Oh, okay, right. Breathable. We're talking there's no thrush. Somebody sent a smoothie cup recommendation. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Artful and sage, the long play cold cup. Okay. This would go well for my takeaway iced Americanos too. Here's one I can definitely get behind. This is, I feel like this is great. Tubular mascara. Now what you guys want. What do you mean tubular?
Starting point is 00:31:56 The girls are nodding. Right, tubular mascara. I wear tubular mascara. Maybe I've only done it for like a year. Game changer. What is it? Oh yeah, it's the best thing ever. It's the best thing. I can't go back. like a year. Game changer. What is it? Oh yeah, it's the best thing ever. It's the best thing.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I can't go back. I can't go back either. Basically, instead of removing it with makeup remover and it kind of dissolves the product, the product comes off as a tube. So you just use water and you go like this with your eyelashes and it all comes off in your hand. And it comes off in tubes.
Starting point is 00:32:19 So it doesn't come off on your eyelashes? No. No, it tubes off. It's kind of preventing pulling off your eyelashes because waterproof mascara or the likes, usually if you'd get it, it's so stuck on.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Tubular mascara. The best one, the cheapest and best one in my opinion is the Emco Beauty one. I definitely recommend that and that's at Chemist Warehouse. Tubular mascara.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Oh, she's got a seamless, she's on fire there, ladies and gentlemen. Ring the bell, that's the show's sponsor right there. Seamless creamy for the show's sponsor. That's actually gorgeous, Shannon. Well done. Bring the bell. That's the show's sponsor right there. Seamless baby for the show's sponsor. That's actually gorgeous, Shannon.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Well done. Tubular mascara. Other things people are gatekeeping? The woman's shavers with the soapy head. That's called. What? Oh, I used to use this. It's called ignition, ignite.
Starting point is 00:33:01 What's it called? We don't play our telly anymore. We don't. It's like anymore The women's shavers with the soap We don't It's like got a soap ring around the razor Ignition Something like that I just searched ignition Best perfect shaver for bald men
Starting point is 00:33:16 You're welcome Fletch and V-Doc Really? We argue a lot about our best razors to shave Because I'm a dollar shave club guy That's so sharp though when you get a new one out. Crikey, you've got to be careful. Excuse me, two men are talking.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Don't want to be interrupted by a woman. That is actually really classic behaviour from a woman towards me. It is, yeah, it is. These are the ones, you know, they've got a big soap ring around them. Those are women's. Please don't, women's plain shaving.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You will have to pay more. It's going to shock you when you come to buy a woman's razor. This is what blows my mind as well. I know. They'll be exactly
Starting point is 00:33:50 the same except one's pink and it's $5 more. I know. It's not. Ladies, buy these huckery grey ones because you're just
Starting point is 00:33:57 paying for a colour there. But we like them pink. I know you like them pink. But that's great for the men because then you're not doing the leather and the soap. No,
Starting point is 00:34:04 you don't do the leather and the stuff. What is that stuff made out of? Because I like a... He dries out. Soap. No, he dries out. I'm not shaving with soap. No, it's not soap. It's like a...
Starting point is 00:34:13 You said it was soap. Make up your mind, woman. Indecisive. Interrupting, indecisive, and woman's planning. This is actually classic female behaviour. I use a sensitive shave foam. A shave cream. Do you use a foam?
Starting point is 00:34:23 A cream. You don't want it to lather up. It dries out the hair. What do you mean a shave cream? Are you gatekeeping that people are using shave foam? You've been gatekeeping. What do you use? Asano?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Asano cream. Not the gel. Not the gel because it lathers up too much. There's a cream. The cream. It's amazing. I've been using it for years. And it doesn't lather up.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And if you're a dude that shaves your hair, when it lathers, it dries out the dome. Do you moisturise the dome? Always. Straight after shaving. Okay. Big moisturiser, the old crime dome. More Texan.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Someone wants to know the mascara, Emco Beauty from Chemist's Warehouse. My Chemical Romance. My Chemical Romance. You can get that from My Chemical Romance. Oh my god, someone just said the lady version of Mansplain. She-laborate. She-laborate! Yes!
Starting point is 00:35:12 That's so good. LSKD gym clothes, people are saying you'll never go back. Are they a New Zealand brand? I see so many people wearing those. Yeah, I wear it all the time. I don't look at what anybody's wearing at the gym. I'm not looking at brands.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Neither. I'm not looking at brands. I keep my eyes on my own gains, you know. Your eye level is well above the brand name. Kind of mid-chest. No, no. Or below the brand name because often the women's is on the waistband. I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:35:42 You're above or below? No, I'm not. Wow. What are you looking at? Why are you looking, Kurt? I turn my glasses off at the gym so is on the waistband. I don't know what you're talking about. You're above or below? No, I'm not. Wow. What are you looking at? Why are you looking, Per? I took my glasses off at the gym so I can't see anything. This is dangerous. And I just walk into a thing,
Starting point is 00:35:53 but at least I can't be accused of perving. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, if you're a long, medium, or even short-term listener on the show, you may have noticed we've got a little bit of a hot mess on our hands in the form of producer Shannon. A little bit.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Who surprises us daily. Yeah. What did she say before the show? Now, it wasn't what we're about to talk about. She said something else and we were all just like, we did that thing where it would be like if your mum said something so insane that you don't even roast your mum, you're just kind of like, huh, and move on to the next bit.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah. You go, we can't even begin. We don't have time for this right now. I don't know, this seems like something we need to discuss in detail when we've all got a bit more time. So I can't even remember what that was, but it must have been bad. In fact, it was so traumatic, I've presumed to have blocked it from my short-term memory development. I didn't know you guys did that.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Constantly. So you guys did that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, constantly. So you should take notes. It wasn't one of her conspiracy things, was it? Do you want to hear about those? No.
Starting point is 00:36:53 No. We did do that that time. We did it. Katy Perry is JonBenet. JonBenet is Katy Perry. We were like, oh, okay, mum. And we moved on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Then she told us yesterday, well Well I'll just let her tell you What did you do yesterday Because you didn't know How to do something I went on TikTok To learn how to boil an egg And well I'll just put a pin In that right there
Starting point is 00:37:13 You boil it Can I I thought you googled You went straight to TikTok Instead of googling Yeah I wanted a video Okay right Well so hear me out
Starting point is 00:37:23 Okay Every day I have eggs. I know how to cook eggs. I can do like three ways of doing it. Okay, what are the ways? Fried. Yep. Fried over.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Wait, wait, wait. That's one way. That's one way. That's one. Scrambled. Okay. How often are you eating fried eggs? Every day.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Fried eggs are a- I get up at 3.30. They're the easiest way. Crack it in a pan. I have some cherry tomatoes. Wait, so you can't poach an egg? No. Poached wasn't on that list. No, I don't know how to do that. And you don't know how to hard boil an egg? Poaching is the hardest. Well, I know how
Starting point is 00:37:54 to now. Yeah, because you TikTok'd. Yeah, because I wanted a video because I know that you can do it for different amounts of times to get a different hardness and I wanted to see what I wanted. That's called cooking. So the more you do it, the more the food changes. I wanted to know,
Starting point is 00:38:11 I wanted it like a little bit hard, but not grey. Wait till she finds out about meat. I know. I do the air fryer. Remember 20 minutes chicken breast, done. That's right. That's right. Seems a long time.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Seems a long time. So I went on TikTok and I watched the first video that popped up. And that video was titled? How to boil an egg. Who is sharing this? And how many views did it have? Oh, have a look. But it'll be millions. And I can imagine it's full of Gen Z's being like, does water
Starting point is 00:38:39 need to be in the pot? Well, because I wanted to know if I was meant to put salt in it or something. And she said yes. So I did that. How to boil an egg. I'll just find the video I watched. Hold on, pause just a moment. Have you ever put salt in? When you're boiling an egg,
Starting point is 00:38:54 it doesn't matter because it's got the skin. No, because doesn't it stop the shell from cracking? Salt? Salt water does. That's what I've thought. That's why I've always put salt in with. Oh, I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:03 The trick to doing that is before you boil the egg, you tap the... Huh? The pinpoint. What are you putting a pinpoint on it for? The butthole of the egg. Oh, I didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:39:14 No, that's when you want to blow the egg out and keep the egg shell intact to paint it for Easter. No, you do a little pinprick. I don't do this, but you do. You put a little pinprick and then you boil it and then you can peel it easy. I give it a series of soft taps on the bottom.
Starting point is 00:39:28 You'll hear a ping noise and then you can boil it and it'll peel easy. The video I watched had 50,000 likes. So 50,000 other people agreed with me because I had to like it because I had to watch it a few times over. Right. So I did it, but she recommended I put the egg in ice water
Starting point is 00:39:43 afterwards and I don't have a freezer, so I just put it in water, and then I had to wait 20 minutes for it to cool down. This is a half an hour egg extravaganza. Was that real hard? No, I did good. Was it runny inside? I wanted like a little bit of like a bite, but not, yeah. But so I did it.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Man, they take a while to peel. They do. This was like such an extravaganza. When I can do. So this was your first foray into boiled eggs. Yes. I never had them as a kid. I like scrambled, fried or fried over.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Right. The three main ways of cooking an egg. So will this be the last time you boil an egg? You're just going to fry it next time? No, so I'm going to stick to two fried in the morning and then two in the afternoon. And I realise you can just put them in the fridge. She told me. They're cheap. They are cheap.
Starting point is 00:40:31 There's a good cheap source of protein. Watch the cholesterol. I'll just watch the cholesterol. What's it like in there, Karwin? Are you okay? Do you need to go to HR? Look, with her and Georgia combined. There's a lot of high protein girlies
Starting point is 00:40:48 I will say there's a message here And this could help you with your It's a cheap form of protein We need to get Shannon a bit more money Someone said I would pay good money To watch this girl poach an egg Yeah, this needs to be This is an only fans category
Starting point is 00:41:00 On our socials Oh no, I was going to say She needs to make money from it Well I know when you poach an egg, there's vinegar, and I don't own vinegar. No, you don't have to put vinegar. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:41:08 It helps, but it also taints the taste. Yeah, no, I've never dabbled. Again, you know how chefs have a hundred folds in their hat? I've got three. Yeah. And two of them are the same age.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Fried and scrambled. Yeah. All right, well, good luck. Good luck. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayramble. Alright, well good luck. Good luck. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We talked about

Starting point is 00:42:51 And didn't realise until which I've talked about in the podcast, she got me to feel it myself. It's the human equivalent of when your dog has blocked anal glands. And they need to drain those. Yeah, but don't DIY that.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Do you know what I mean? And they say, no, don't DIY the bath all on you, sis. Don't do that. No, no, no. So I've got to have a surgery. I'm having a surgery soon. And you will miss me on the 25th of February to get it removed. Anyway, so yesterday when I was...

Starting point is 00:43:32 please. Why do you have a pimple there? I think it's because I've talked before, I vaseline quite extensively because I chafe when I run. You've got to get something better than vaseline. Nah, it's all good, bro. No, it's obviously not. It's clogging up some pores. But it just got a little bit clogged.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Okay, if this is your donut, how close to the donut is it? A finger's width apart. Because, you know, I get pimples on my butt, on the cheeks. No, this is in there. I've had it before. It's also sometimes without the Vaseline, just a bit of rub in there with the exercise. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:03 It happens. Small price to pay. Again, it's just not worth exercising sometimes, is it? It's not, eh? No. It's not. No. Now, this is the thing with these Bartholomew cysts,
Starting point is 00:44:11 is you can get them from a number of things. Yeah. Yeah. Undies too tight or summer. I mean, it's my version of thrush, you know, for summers. And it was like, we'll give you this instead. So I was reading this article about this woman who apparently she equates her Bartholomew cysts that she got to sleeping in her underwear.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Just a little warning for those that wear it. You know, not enough. Let the old girl breathe. Ventilation. Not enough ventilation. She got one and it became septic. It got so, it got left for so long that they can burst on their own or become infected. And she, it got septic. It got so, it got left for so long that they can burst on their own
Starting point is 00:44:46 or become infected and she, it got septic. You know, Nick, that's really dangerous. Yeah. And it just reminded me
Starting point is 00:44:52 how Fletch was like, why do, you know, how necessary is the surgery and is it possible you could delay it until at the Easter holidays? I said,
Starting point is 00:45:00 why don't you just do it on like a Friday? On a holiday? On a weekend. Do they not do operations on a weekend? They only do the operations on a Tuesday and then you said, why don't you just do it on a Friday? On a holiday. On a weekend. Do they not do operations on a weekend? No, because then I said to you, they only do the operations on a Tuesday, and then you said, well, maybe for a holiday. So the way these get infected, this poor girl who became sick is leaving them for too long.
Starting point is 00:45:15 So you waiting until the Easter holidays isn't an option. It just wouldn't do. I must go. In a couple of weeks. You've got 20 days. I know. Hopefully I survive. I just really highlighted for me. But they only do it on 20 days. I know. Hopefully I survive. I just really,
Starting point is 00:45:25 just really highlighted for me. But they only do it on a Tuesday. Only do it on a Tuesday. I've just been through the whole year. I can't see any public holidays on a Tuesday. So you've got to re-air, right? I've got to take the day off.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah. I'm so sorry that that's inconveniencing you. My golf ball, Bartholomew's cyst. That could lead to sepsis. Could lead to sepsis, which is very dangerous
Starting point is 00:45:46 inside the human body. Right. But luckily, I'm getting it sorted on a Tuesday. Am I the only one on the show that doesn't require some sort of day off
Starting point is 00:45:52 for a medical procedure? Because you're likely they're going to have to need some sort of shoulder reconstruction surgery. Well, maybe, yeah. We'll find out. Do they do that
Starting point is 00:46:01 on a Friday after the show? Yeah, I'll get that done on a Friday every Saturday. I think you should have to do it over Easter. That's all I'm going to say. Get it done Thursday, 12 o'clock. Take good Friday. Maybe you can't pop to Europe in the middle of the year.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Maybe you've got to pop to surgery and recover so you can come back. It's a good idea, actually. I think that's only right. For all of us who haven't been to Europe. Yeah, I think that's only fair. It's just fair. We've had two episodes so far of Married at First Sight Australia on three. For those of us who haven't been to Europe. Yeah, I think that's only fair. It's just fair. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We've had two episodes so far of Married at First Sight Australia,
Starting point is 00:46:30 on three, and three now. It's your favourite reality show, hands down. It's my number one. My number one. More than Love Island, more than any of The Bachelors. It's just, I don't know. It's mine too. Yeah. That didn't sound so good.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Can I just give you a little- Trying to relate to the demographic. Boy, I can't get enough of these shows. Can I just give you a little note from someone with an acting degree? Okay. Your tone's just completely flat. Okay. And that's making me not really believe you as a character.
Starting point is 00:46:57 So if you go more like, mine too. Mine too. Okay, but back, less, less, less. Mine too. What are you doing If you're here Why don't you show Vaughn Like what's a show
Starting point is 00:47:07 You can't stand Okay yeah Tell me Tell me Your favourite show Like one of those Gold Rush shows Yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:47:12 And can you You tell me Vaughn That a Gold Rush show Is your favourite I love Gold Rush But you're still Doing bad acting No just do
Starting point is 00:47:20 A genuine one Yeah What's your favourite show Um I started watching Um That show I can't remember The name of it just do a genuine one. What's your favourite show? I started watching that show, I can't remember the name of it, with Billy Bob. No, I'll finish that.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Landman, that was really, really good. I love that show, it's my favourite. That was really good. She hasn't even seen it. It was easy, it was not performed, it didn't look like it was rehearsed. Married at First Sight is my favourite dating reality show. Boy,'t look like it was rehearsed. Oh, okay. Married at First Sight is my favourite dating reality show. Boy, man, me too, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:47:49 It was better. And everybody listening. He's got some work to do. It was better. So lots of drama already. Last night's episode has, and this has been all actually all through the years. Is he a Nazi? Not a Nazi.
Starting point is 00:48:01 There's a guy on there. Wow, TBC. Someone messaged me and they were like, the guy that was described as the guy that wants the trad wife who lives the warrior lifestyle. It's got all the hallmarks of someone who's just going to pop up.
Starting point is 00:48:11 He's going to have been wearing a swastika around bed. Yeah, I feel like there's a deep, dark internet history to him. But anyway, I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about Tim, who's a teacher. And I want to bring the girlies in because I know that they've been watching it as well. Shannon cried. Shannon cried.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Did you cry at this? Yeah, I cried both episodes, but I just love the idea girlies in because I know that they've been watching it as well. Shannon cried. Shannon cried. Did you cry at this? Yeah, I cried both episodes. But I just love the idea of love in weddings. And so when the couples... This is not love, by the way. No, it is. It's love at first sight. And so it's like as they're describing what they need in a partner
Starting point is 00:48:38 and they cut between the two confessionals of these people about to meet and she's walking down the aisle and I just want her to be loved so much. I want her to be loved. He says he's such a genuine guy. I start crying. I know. So this guy, his name's Tim, and he apparently, I read the news before I saw the episode,
Starting point is 00:48:55 which was him saying he's not doing any interviews. He's basically turned his back on the show. He wants nothing to do with it. He is worried for his professional career. So I'm going like, what is happening? What has he said? Basically, the gist is that Tim came out nice guy, really nice guy.
Starting point is 00:49:12 And I don't really have a type. You know, I don't really have looks. You know, looks are not important to me. It's about the soul. Enter Katie, who is a huge personality and she's a curvy girl. Suddenly, Tim's not such a nice guy. Well, what did he say?
Starting point is 00:49:26 I just usually date sort of small, petite, blonde women. But then they said to him, so, okay, what is your type then? And he goes, oh, no, no, no, no, I don't have a type. No, no, no, no. She's just not what I usually date. She's not it. I don't have a type, but that ain't it, basically. He kept saying he couldn't find himself being attracted to her
Starting point is 00:49:44 and he wasn't going to give it a chance. The producer's like, you just met her. And he's like, don't care, basically. He kept saying he couldn't find himself being attracted to her and he wasn't going to give it a chance. The producer's like, you just met her. And he's like, don't care, not interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was brutal. I know. And he's a teacher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think that's why he was like... Do people not think when they go on their shows that like, do they not realise they're going to be seen by the entire country? He went for a walk off with the producer and he wasn't being filmed as such. And I think he forgot he had a mic on or something because it's crystal clear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:10 And that's when he's really like, I find petite women attractive. I think he thought he wasn't being filmed. Yeah. And then basically said to the producer, like, you cannot air that. And they're like, this is the best TV we've ever seen in our life.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Anyway, speaking of the fact that you get no say right. So there's a previous Mavs producer who was like, we've ever seen in our life. Anyway, speaking of the fact that you get no say rights, there's a previous maths producer who was like, I'll just open the lid on some of this stuff. Right. And they actually, once you sign up to the show, I don't think they quite realise how much they're actually giving away. And she was sharing some of the details of the contracts that they sign.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Regular people, when faced with contracts which basically say they have to sign away their rights in perpetuity or whatever it's called, they have to sign away the rights to their footage, their vision, their voice forever, right? So they cannot sue. The contracts are ironclad. Most people retreat at that point. Most people would think, oh, it'd be fun to go on, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:04 something could come of it. But a lot of people at that point are Most people would think, oh, it'd be fun to go on, you know, something could come of it. But a lot of people at that point are just like, you know what? It's not worth it. Yeah, basically, like, it does seem like all fun and games. And then those contracts are apparently terrible. And you just can't do anything about it. And they own you and that's it. And they can paint you however they like.
Starting point is 00:51:23 If they want to make you the villain, you're the villain. Wow, Carla May the villain. Wow. Carla, me shocked. Getting better. Was that good acting? Getting better, actually. Getting better, yeah. Getting better.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Anyway, I'm enjoying it. We're all enjoying it. I just love soaking up this trashy drama so much. It's so good. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I made a return yesterday. I'd bought a number of frocks for a photo shoot and I returned all of them that Icks for a photo shoot and I returned
Starting point is 00:51:45 all of them that I didn't use and the one I did use. Did you leave the tag on? Yeah. Back to Australia with you. Right. Yeah. I'm not even ashamed of it. I wore it for five hours.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Bits fell off it and I returned it. Anyway. So it's fell off it and I returned it. Anyway. So it's a woman destroying the economy. Yeah. Yeah. But I did buy one. At least that dress doesn't have a massive carbon footprint now.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Huge. And it's made mostly of plastic. Yeah. It's terrible. By who made it? Children in a third world country? Tiny little hens. Right. So problems from start to end.
Starting point is 00:52:24 From start to finish. But boy, oh boy, am I going to look good Tiny little hens. Right. So problems from start to end. From start to finish. But boy, oh boy, am I going to look good in that photo shoot. Okay. But I did buy one dress from a Kiwi company and I literally didn't even take it out of the wrapper and it's been sitting in my car and I was like, I've got to return it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Popped into the mall, returned it. Fantastic. Service. Lovely. Left. And then I was coming out of the mall and there was a secure, a female security guard standing outside of a shop,
Starting point is 00:52:50 you know, how they've got them now because people started driving their cars into the malls, you know, how that started happening. Yeah. And there was a young, like sort of when I say young,
Starting point is 00:53:01 I say my age. So I mean young. Yeah. She was a, there was a young female security guard standing there and, you know, not doing anything, like standing. That's part of the job is not doing much. And she sort of stood there.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Was she in one of those stab-proof vests? Yeah. But it's not a stab-proof vest. She's definitely just brought it herself. Yeah. And it says security on it. Yeah. It's like a Teemu bulletproof vest, but without the bulletproof.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Ain't going to stop nothing. Yeah. So she's standing there in her garb. Lots of pockets, though. Yeah. A lot of pockets. It looks handy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:31 It looks like a black fly fishing vest. Yes. And then as I sort of passed this woman, there was an older Pākehā gentleman. Not that race matters, but I just feel like chugging that in there. Yeah. Older Pākehā, because she wasn't Pākehā. Older Pākehā gentleman who walked past her and then just said
Starting point is 00:53:49 hello. Oh man, I would hate your job. And then just kept walking. I think that he just meant to be like, oh, you know, you look a bit bored or something like that. And when you do have to deal with something, it's horrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to deal with people throwing hammers through jewellers cases or something like that. And when you do have to deal with something that's horrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 You've got to deal with, you know, people throwing hammers through jewellers' cases and stuff like that and then running and punching and hitting. Yeah, I don't think he was trying to be malicious as in like, ha-ha, you've got a crap job. Yeah. But I was like, dude, like, say to someone, I would absolutely hate to have your life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:22 That looks miserable. Like, that's not something you say to someone. Yeah. And I could see her face go, what? Like, why did you feel the need to say that? Yeah. Anyway. Why was he even speaking to her?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah. So, like, it was definitely an accident, but she was definitely insulted. My dad loves talking to people. I got this vibe from him, too, that he was just wanting to connect. He's an old mate. A social guy. Just loves, hello, and I got this vibe from him too, that he was just wanting to connect. He's an old mate. He's a social guy. He just loves, hello, and I'm going to make your day.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Rather than saying, you're doing a great job at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or slow work day. I couldn't do it. Or I couldn't do what you're doing. Like, they don't process it like that. And they say something like,
Starting point is 00:54:58 man, I'd hate your job. Yeah. Have a good day. Yeah, I could never do what you do or something like that. It's in tone. Yeah, sometimes my dad will talk to strangers and I'll be like, dad, just, I could never do what you do or something like that. It's in tone. Man, I would hate your job.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Sometimes my dad will talk to strangers and I'll be like, Dad, just get the intention. Yeah. But it just needed a little bit of crafting. Needed a bit of crafting. Yeah. Anyway, so I messaged you guys and I was like, she was so insulted.
Starting point is 00:55:16 He didn't mean it. This is what I know. When did someone maybe accidentally insult you? It's always the old mates. Oh, yeah. Or Nan at the old mates. Oh yeah. Or Nan at Christmas. Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:55:27 And can I just say, Fletch, do you know what I love about you? Is how you just go, you know what, beauty standards screw you. Yeah. You are so brave to wear that. Yeah. I just think someone as you are wearing that, I just think go you. As I am. You know, all power to you. As I am. You know, all power to you.
Starting point is 00:55:45 As I am. It's that stuff. And they're like, they're not really meaning to insult you. Yeah, yeah. And yet here we are. With you being you, it was a very brave decision. Yes. You know, considering everything that you are, to put yourself out there.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Like that. Like that. I mean, hats off. I just love it so much. that. I mean, hats off. I just love it so much. And they never mean to insult you. Oh, I love it. Oh, this happened to, I remember this happened to me when
Starting point is 00:56:13 I was a teenager and I had a very petite friend and we were going to the beach and I said, I don't have any togs. And she said, oh my God, I've got this set here. They're massive on me. So they'll fit you. And I remember being like, you're not, you just haven't thought. Oh no, no, massive on me so they'll fit you and I remember being like you just haven't thought oh no no no they'll fit you they're like huge on me they absolutely fall off
Starting point is 00:56:32 so they'll maybe just get on okay this is what we want to hear from you this morning 0800 dials at M you can text her as well 9696 when did someone unintentionally insult you whether it was... Whether it was Nan at Christmas.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yep, yep. Or a stranger. Normally old white guys. Great. Okay, get your texts in. We'll get to those next. Oh, God, some of these are shocking. And they are just pouring in.
Starting point is 00:56:59 We want to know when you've been accidentally insulted. Yes. Yesterday at the mall, a guy walked past a female security guard and said, oh, God, I would hate your job. I would absolutely hate to have your job. And you're like, okay, I sort of see what you're saying, but yeah. Stacey, when were you accidentally insulted?
Starting point is 00:57:20 So me and my now husband were out shopping one day and brought him into the changing rooms and tried something on and came out. Oh, this is instantly landmine territory. Oh, yeah. Yes. So I came out and I was like, so what do you think? And he's like, oh, I think it looks better on the rack.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Oh. What was he? You don't say that. You just never hear darling. I just never he doesn't learn. I don't think he meant to say that. I think he just meant
Starting point is 00:57:49 like it didn't suit me. But there was a woman in the changing room as well who whipped open the curtain and was sort of like, you are incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Or an interesting mix of both. I don't go close with my husband anymore. No, he's not invited. Maybe that was his scheme all along. To get out of it. To get out of it. Could have been.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Stacey, thank you. Nina, when were you accidentally embarrassed? Hey, well, it was actually by a friend of mine who, we would just specifically use like Green Lion King dungarees that I sometimes rock. I haven't been in for a while. Wait like green lion king dungarees that i sometimes rock i haven't been in for a while green lion king dungarees yeah they're actually pretty fantastic i'm not gonna lie they sound fantastic what makes them lion king dungarees they have a sort of a motif of the animals from the line yeah it's like the original like uh animation of The Lion King. Okay. I'll say it. I'll say it. Shit, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Shit, yeah. Yeah, one time we were discussing notes and she just, or I just said to me, well, you know, you're one of those people that just wears really weird, crazy outfits and you just kind of get away with it. And it felt kind of like a backhanded compliment. Yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I made a mistake of telling my partner and he hasn't dropped it. It's been years. He mentions it on the regs. I love that. I made a mistake of telling my partner and he hasn't dropped it. It's been years. He mentions it on the rags. I love that. Oh, my God. You just wear the most, like, rogue crap. And you look really cool.
Starting point is 00:59:13 You're like, these are my clothes. I was like that? Thank you. Nina, thank you. Susanna, you were the insulter. Oh. I was, unfortunately. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Just the wrong term of words. Quite a few years ago, we were in South Africa, and they used to allow, like in the lion parks, you used to be able to go in and pet the baby cubs and lions and things. We remember the time. Dope them up a bit. You should have met Nina. She's got Lion King dungarees. Yeah, I'm getting in there for a pat of a baby lion
Starting point is 00:59:49 Simmering it all up So I was in there with my young daughter And with the Keeper I guess And she was holding the cubs And you could touch, pat them and stuff And it was just so beautiful And I said to her, your job's not hard.
Starting point is 01:00:06 And I wanted to say, like, it was more, like, rewarding, you know. Yes, yes, yes. Your job's not hard. You don't have a hard job. Yeah. And she looks at me and she just said, I've got to get up at three, you know, three times every three hours. And she said, because then they take so much work.
Starting point is 01:00:27 And I just felt awful. And also, they could eat me at any moment. Yeah, I literally am here working with lions. Yeah. I love that. I totally hear your intention. Your job's not hard. What a fun job.
Starting point is 01:00:41 What a rewarding job. Yes, yes. You don't work very hard, do you, is how she heard it. Susanna, thank you. So many messages in. So many. There's just so many. My best friend was a model when she was younger.
Starting point is 01:00:53 She was like a stunner. Everybody commented on it. She had a baby and she just got older. Yep. Now, when she applied for a job, apparently the guy doing the application Googled her and found her old modelling pics. And when she went in he said
Starting point is 01:01:06 you were quite a stunner in your prime weren't you things you don't say I love this my gay best mate literally last week said to me I've just never found you attractive
Starting point is 01:01:17 now I know she meant she'd never been attracted to me but all I could think of was that song am I not pretty enough oh god there's just I can think of was that song, Am I not pretty enough? Oh God. When I was a kid, I was really skinny and I told my mum about a dream I had
Starting point is 01:01:33 that Slender Man was watching me through the mirror. She responded, You sure you didn't just see yourself in the mirror? It's good. It was always really good when mums, you know, really concentrated on their daughter's positive body image. Yes. The decade was the 90s.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Didn't leave any issues down the road at all. Oh, God, no, no, no. We're not hanging on to that. My work gave me a Thai massage voucher as a maternity prison. I couldn't use it for ages because I had the baby. And when I eventually used it, the older receptionist said, have you had the baby? And I said, yes, I've had the baby.
Starting point is 01:02:02 And she said, how old are you? And I said, I'm 42. And she said, you're too old to be having babies. Oh, I mean, Thai, I've had the baby. And she said, how old are you? And I said, I'm 42. And she said, you're too old to be having babies. Oh, I mean, Thai women are very blunt. I walked into a clothing store in Thailand and they've gone like, no, no, no, no, no, too big. Out, out, out, out. I'd hate to have your job,
Starting point is 01:02:19 which was what got us started as the old white guy said it to the security guard that you saw yesterday. Somebody said, an early childhood education, it's either, man, your job must be fun just playing with stickers all day. Oh, yeah. Or, man, I hate your job as they pass you the brattiest kids in the world. Yeah. Yeah, because you're not doing your job at home.
Starting point is 01:02:41 I'm quite a curvy girl and anytime I mention it, my mum will always say to me, but you wouldn't be as pretty if you were skinny. That's kind of like it's close because you're saying I'm not skinny. But I am pretty. Yeah, I know this is a thing with you know, full of
Starting point is 01:03:00 figured women, curvy girls, people say, oh you've got such a nice face. That's the only compliment. You've got such a nice face. That's the only compliment. You've got such a nice face. My Indian mother-in-law bought me a full Indian outfit for a wedding. She made me try it on
Starting point is 01:03:11 in front of her and told me I looked beautiful because it hid all my fat. Fuck yeah, our daughter-in-law was very offended but just smiled through the entire thing.
Starting point is 01:03:20 My nana's pen pal from Greenland, that's a whole story we need to know more about. Or was staying with her. And we went there for tea one night when we walked in. She said, I told you I have big grandchildren. My husband's grandma saw me laying on a sunbed and said,
Starting point is 01:03:38 oh, I never realised what a bumper you are. A what? A bumper. Never heard an old person I know what it Kind of knows what it means Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:48 Oh yeah Here it is Had cancer Lost a lot of weight Next time I saw someone Said It's not Being skinny's not really
Starting point is 01:03:57 Working for you I'm sick And they said Yeah I've got cancer I didn't really have a choice In it Oh gosh But I'll assure you I'll get filled out again As soon as possible and they said, yeah, I didn't really have a choice in it. Oh gosh.
Starting point is 01:04:06 I assure you, I'll get filled out again as soon as possible. I always thought I was a fun, bubbly, vibrant person until a close friend casually described someone else saying, oh no, oh, saying, oh no, they're kind of flat, sort of monotonous,
Starting point is 01:04:21 quite like stony face, a bit like you basically. Ouch. Oh God. My flight got cancelled I got stranded in Wellington and I had to find a hotel for a night.
Starting point is 01:04:33 I had to give my ID at reception and it was my driver's licence it was about to expire so it was you know from a while back. The lady looked at my ID and then looked at me
Starting point is 01:04:40 and then looked back at the ID and said sorry but I took that as the insult. She was saying, sorry that I don't look like this anymore. And also, sorry I'm taking so long to say this is you. I've had this before on multiple occasions as a very white presenting Maori. Habi and I had corporate seats at the ASB Classic. Oh, darling.
Starting point is 01:05:01 When the porphyry started to welcome the players to the courts, the lady next to me leaned over and said, God, this is bloody pointless, don't you agree? I am quite clearly Maori. Oh, gosh. I had it at a wedding. Someone leaned in and it was a Maori, one of the grooms was Maori.

Starting point is 01:06:16 Calendar week. Lest we forget. I know. Calendar week. These are the kind of weeks we want. I might revisit calendar week. You're asking for it. No, we're not.
Starting point is 01:06:23 You're asking for it. Another week of calendar facts. Everyone is asking calendar week. You're asking for it. No, we're not. You're asking for another week of calendar facts. No one is asking for it. Everyone's asking for it. I would like to talk today about a company started by Herman, Hillel, and Henry Hassenfield. Three brothers. Okay. Henry, Herman, and Hassenfield.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Herman, Hillel, which is a name I've never heard before. It's the word hill, like a hill. Yeah. With L on the end. Hillel. And Henry H the end. Hillow. And Henry Hassenfield. Any idea what company they started? Tell us what they do now, what this company does now.
Starting point is 01:06:50 I'm not going to tell you what they do now. I'm going to tell you what they started with, and then you can work it out. Okay, go. They dealt in selling textile remnants. So textile remnants would be a massive textile company would be mass producing things made of textile. All their offcuts and stuff would be A massive textile company would be making Mass producing things made of textile All the offcuts and stuff would be more or less
Starting point is 01:07:07 Scrap. These brothers saw an opportunity for other Things to be made out of them. Chemicals They would purchase them. They would make Things like pencil cases School supplies. Great. Backpacks And stuff. Anything that required a small A lot of small amounts of textile. 3M No but 3M is another
Starting point is 01:07:24 Company that started out making stuff you wouldn't expect that it made. Or maybe Stay Chained. Maybe save that for Friday. Is it chemicals? Do they do chemicals now? No, they don't do chemicals. The clue is in the fact that they were all brothers
Starting point is 01:07:35 and their name is Hassenfield. Oh, the circus. Weber Brothers Circus. The Weber Brothers Circus. They're not the Weber Brothers, they're the Hassenfield Brothers. Hassenfield. Hassenfield. No.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Take the first three letters of Hassenfield and also brothers. Hasbro. Hasbro. The toy company. Hasbro. The toy company, indeed. Wow. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:08:01 So, yeah, they just bought up scraps, basically, from other textile companies in Rhode Island, which there was a lot of factories there. The three of them were just like, there's money to be made there, and they started making pencil cases. Then they also started making pencils, because the person that supplied them the pencil was like, they're kind of making something and selling it,
Starting point is 01:08:20 but they're not paying much for the product. Yeah, right. It's a great business model. Yeah. We'll start making pencil cases as well. And they said, well, we'll show you. We'll start making pencils. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:30 So they started making pencils and pencil cases. And then during World War II, they were Polish-Jewish brothers. They immigrated to the States before World War II. And in World War II- Not a great time. Not a great time. To be Polish-Jewish. No, especially if you're still in Poland and Jewish. Not a great time at all.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Some of them got involved in the war effort and also it was during World War II that they, because of the materials were being used for uniforms, all manner of things. Metal was used for the war effort. They were making planes, they were making tanks, they were making jeeps, they were making everything for the war effort and They were making planes. They were making tanks. They were making Jeeps. They were making everything for the war effort and bullets, et cetera. They had to find another thing to make their pencil cases and stuff out of, and that's when they came across plastic, our good friend plastic. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Never done a single thing wrong in its life other than exist forevermore. The ocean isn't full of it. No. We're not full of microbes. It's in our brains now. It's in our brains. Yeah. Yum.
Starting point is 01:09:23 It's great. So good. Their first major popular toy was plastic arms and plastic legs and plastic eyes and a plastic hat. And it was B.Y.O. Potato. Potato Head.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Mr. Potato Head. The original Mr. Potato Head. They didn't make the potato. No. They just sold the arms and the legs and the eyes and the hat and the mouth and the nose. And you just had to get one of Mum's potatoes. Yeah. And you might be thinking, Vaughan, you shouldn't say Mum's potatoes. It's going to be Dad's potatoes.
Starting point is 01:09:53 It's 1950. It's Mum's potatoes. Get back in the kitchen. They're Mum's potatoes. They're Mum's potatoes. Dad's going to give you a wrap around the arse for using a potato when he gets home from a long, hard day at the factory. He doesn't even know your name. He doesn day at the factory. He doesn't even know your name.
Starting point is 01:10:05 He doesn't care your name. He's got a bottle of whiskey to drink and 18 cigarettes to smoke. He wants to be left alone. Because he went to the war but now he can't talk about it because he's having to shove it all down because he was raised by a man that fought in the first World War. Times were tough. That's right. And that's why our fathers don't speak
Starting point is 01:10:21 about a lot of things about their feelings but it's up to us. Yeah. To speak from our heart. Break the cycle. About our feelings. And not just keep pushing it down and having strokes in our late 50s because of blood pressure issues.
Starting point is 01:10:31 That's right. And cigarettes. And a bottle of whiskey. Anyway, we're not here to talk about that. And so today. We're not here to talk about that. They also, in 1963, a little bit of Hasbro chat, introduced Flubber, which was like this bouncy slime you might remember
Starting point is 01:10:45 in a 90s movie starring Robin Williams. However, Flubber was recalled due to the fact that children who played with Flubber reported sore throats and rashes. What did they put in it? Not exactly sure. That's probably a fact of the day in itself. That would be a good one, recalled products. Yeah, it's like women's makeup with lead and...
Starting point is 01:11:03 Yeah. In 1963, they were offered to license a toy based on The Lieutenant, which was a short-lived TV series, and they said no, and instead developed G.I. Joe as the world's first action figure and termed the... Because people would call them dolls, and they were like, they're not dolls. These are action figures.
Starting point is 01:11:23 And they went on to do action figures, And, well, the rest is history. They've done, you know. The original brothers kind of all died and stuff. And their kids and stuff took it over. Of course they did. That's life. That's how life works. That's how life works.
Starting point is 01:11:33 You know what I mean? We don't live forever as much as we want to. But factual. Literally. So today's fact of the day is Hasbro, the toy maker that we've probably all got some toys of or a board game or five rammed in the hot water cupboard that they made. Why did you grow up keeping your ball games in the hot water cupboard? No, that's space for tea towels and sheets.
Starting point is 01:11:50 I think it was tea towels and sheets. We had it in the hallway sheet cupboard. Oh, poor. Yeah. Sounds like you didn't have enough cupboards in your house. We didn't have a lot of cupboards. Sounds like someone only had one cupboard. We didn't have a lot of cupboards.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Well, we had multi-cupboards. Did you? Yeah. A very cupboard-y household. Absolutely ram lot of cupboards. Well, we had multi-cupboards. Did you? Yeah. A very cupboard-y household. Absolutely rammed with cupboards. So many cupboards. More storage than you knew what to do with. So many square metres of your house were wasted in cupboards.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Oh, yeah. One bedroom. Only one bedroom. Yeah. One bedroom, one bath. Three cupboards. Three cupboards. So today's fact of the day is Hasbro, the toy manufacturer,
Starting point is 01:12:21 started out making pencil cases out of scraps of fabric. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. After the show yesterday, I went and had a delicious cup of joe. I've never said that in my life. Anyway, trying it out. A delicious coffee.
Starting point is 01:13:00 I had a delicious coffee. Yeah, had a cup of joe. Hey, bagel or a cup of joe. Bagel and a cup of joe. Just a cup of joe. Anyway, I went with Morgan Penn, sexologist, host of sex.life, to discuss exciting things.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Breaking news. I'm not breaking no news. You shall not hear the breaketh of news from these lips. But we were discussing business ventures. You do the math. Yeah. On what we were doing. And as we were doing that, you know, the conversation turns.
Starting point is 01:13:29 We bounce back and forth. How's things with you? How's, you know, we're asking the how's things in the bedroom and what are we doing? This is about the time that I decided to tell Morgan that, okay, for context, last year Morgan asked me if I wanted to do a sexy lingerie boudoir shoot for the podcast.
Starting point is 01:13:50 She's done them before, they're always great. You get in your undies and you do cute poses and stuff. A little sexy shoot. Georgia Burt, would you do this? Would you ever do this? Absolutely not. So this is what I said to her last year, Georgia. I was like, no.
Starting point is 01:14:06 No. Like, I'm not. No. No. It's not happening. I'm not comfortable. I'm not doing that. However, cut to this year.
Starting point is 01:14:13 I'm feeling myself. Okay. And I think instead of jumping straight in to do a boudoir shoot, Georgia, what I'll do on a nice holiday morning over the summer when I wake up and I'm feeling, you know you wake up sometimes, you're like, God damn. You're like, where'd those abs come from?
Starting point is 01:14:29 Jeep. No, not quite. It's not been carried away. We're not all Georgia Burt. We're not all bloody playground fans. Slightly different. Running for fun and stuff. Some of us are just trying to stop from premature death.
Starting point is 01:14:40 I work out every day to keep this mid-physique. That's what's happening. But I was, you know those mornings. You're just feeling yourself. And I thought, you know what? Yes, for myself, I'm going to set up my own boudoir shoot. Okay? Okay, this is what I did.
Starting point is 01:14:56 So, okay. So this is what's happening on this morning. So I slip into the sexiest thing I've got. And off I go. I'm having a great morning. Okay? And the photos. It's a kimono, isn I go. I'm having a great morning. Okay. And I, the photos. It's a kimono, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:15:07 It's not a kimono. It's not. Some big Bond's knickers. No, and. And a toweling bathrobe. No, I was thinking of Morgan who always tells me off my granny panties. So I was very minimal.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Pura warehouse, track pants and an old polar fleece. You know it, baby. I got my sexiest stuff. So I was telling Morgan about this. She was like, oh fleece. You know it, baby. I got my sexy stuff. So I was telling Morgan about this. She was like, oh my God. She was like, show me. And I said, yes. So I went on my phone to show her
Starting point is 01:15:34 where I remembered in a moment of clarity, I've deleted them off my phone. Because I was like, I don't want them hanging around. There's too much in there. You never know. But I had airdropped them to my iCloud and they were in a folder safe safe safe for no one to unintentionally see yeah so I say oh my god I was like wait wait wait wait wait I'm gonna show you some so I had to go in I had to go into my iCloud
Starting point is 01:16:00 on my phone find the thing and I was like I just want to show on the phone, so I'll airdrop it to myself on my phone, on my computer. I was like, airdrop it to the phone so I can easily show Morgan. I'm stressed. My, okay, my phone I have not named. It is just iPhone. This is where you've gone wrong.
Starting point is 01:16:23 And this needs to be a PSA for everybody. Name your phone. Name your phone. Because I'm at a cafe, right? I'm at a peopled cafe. The cafe near work, it's peopled. And I... This one that we always go to. Yeah, so we don't go there anymore. Because
Starting point is 01:16:39 I... Morgan's... Morgan's phone comes up in my eyedrop option. Why didn't I just send it to Morgan? Why am I trying to airdrop it to myself from this thing? I airdrop it to iPhone, assuming my iPhone. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. You know, makes that noise.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Accepted. Roop, wheel. Yeah. But where is it? Because usually when you airdrop something to your phone, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, wheel, bing, there it is. Yep. because usually when you airdrop something to your phone pop pop pop pop pop wheel bing
Starting point is 01:17:07 there it is yep and I get to show it to my friend Morgan and no one else it gets airdropped to a stranger and they've accepted that and I know it immediately
Starting point is 01:17:16 I feel it I feel it in my bones and I'm like oh no oh no and I'm get cancelled undo
Starting point is 01:17:23 there's no there's no did you look around to see who yep I looked around there was I was outside so the cafe's
Starting point is 01:17:30 very busy inside but outside there was only a couple of people there was a young woman and it's the kind of photo that um you wouldn't see it
Starting point is 01:17:38 without making a face it doesn't have to be a good face you're making a face you're either going like whoo or like wow or like oh my god I like, oh my God.
Starting point is 01:17:45 I look around, there's a young girl behind me, you know, adult, but I was like, okay, she hasn't received it. Other people are on their phones. I'm like hunting. And then I just think I've got to stop hunting and I have to leave. And I left, I couldn't.
Starting point is 01:17:56 So someone yesterday received one hell of a photo. If you were outside and it was airdrop, line of sight, it could have been anyone on that side of our building too. And the building opposite. And the thing upstairs from the cafe. Could have been Mike Hosking, you know. It could have been our boss.
Starting point is 01:18:13 No way. What time was it? 10.30, 11? No, he was at home in his hyperbaric chamber listening to Right Wing Conspiracy for years by then. It's how he doesn't age. That's right. He's an aging chamber.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Anyway, so someone's got it. Someone's how he doesn't age. That's right. He's an ageing chamber. Anyway, so someone's got it. Someone's got it. You are literally the plot of this movie. Yeah, someone's got it. Someone's got it. And it's a lot. That's all I can say. It might show up being sold.
Starting point is 01:18:39 You might make some money of this somehow. I'm not making the money. I don't know who's got it. A stranger's got it. Morgan saw it. Eventually I figured it out to show her and she was impressed. It's great for the profile though. Is it? I'm just trying to help out. I don't know what you
Starting point is 01:18:56 want to say. It's a lot. But did Morgan go it's not bad. You've got not much shocks Morgan. Wait, could you see boobies? Yeah. Well the whole part of the boobies? Yeah, do we get nipple? Yeah. HQ?
Starting point is 01:19:09 You got a headquarters on there? I thought the underwear was covering the boobs, but no. There's underwear on the bottom. Hardly. Hardly on the bottom? And the underwear on the bottom might as well not be there. So, there we go. There we go.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. we're on the bottom. Might as well not be there. So there we go. There we go. There's rumours abound that we might be getting a reboot. Well, a reboot's different. It's not a carry on. They're saying reboot. So it's not going to be like she's not training the next generation of Vampire Slayer.
Starting point is 01:19:41 They're starting again with the story of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Boofy. Boofy. Boofy. Which, Georgia Burt, you are in studio. You're a big Buffy.
Starting point is 01:19:51 You would have been at the bottom. How old are you now? 31 this year. 31. So you would have been at the bottom end of the Buffy fandom. Yeah, I was right on. I'm 35. I was like right on.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Are you only 35? No. Oh my God. Beautiful. No, I said only 35. It was an insult. I'll just give you a chance to reprocess. No, you...
Starting point is 01:20:10 You're only 35? What do you... Oh, what? Hack it. You old hack. Yeah, no, it was right on for me. He says dying of emphysema. Yeah, shame.
Starting point is 01:20:20 That's what you get because I'm a witch. You get emphysema. It was so... You were a teenage witch. I was a teenage witch. That's Sabrina. No, totally. that's what you get. Because I'm a witch. You get emphysema. You were a teenage witch. I was a teenage witch. That's Sabrina. No, totally. That's different.
Starting point is 01:20:29 This was like the vibe. I grew into Buffy. You grew into Buffy. It was sexy. A lot of leather. It was very sexy. A lot of frosted tips. Yes, lots of frosted tips.
Starting point is 01:20:37 The girls in the producer's booth are a little too young to remember Buffy first time around. And I said, even now, I think they'd like it. Yeah, they would. If you got into like Twilight or all of that kind of stuff. Dude, it was 10 times what Twilight was. Oh my God, I know.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Twilight was toilet water and Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a beautiful artisan figure. Buffy ran so that Twilight could stumble. Stumble and fall and fall on its face and fall into a big puddle of poos. So what they're redoing the whole, they're talking about rebooting it.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Wow, okay. What am I to expect from Buffy the Vampire except for vampires? Vampires. Lots of vampires. Sexy vampires. Sexy vampires
Starting point is 01:21:13 and then she falls in love with the vampire. Quite a few hickeys. There's the will they won't they. Hickeys. Mum died. Spoiler alert, mum dies. Sparkly?
Starting point is 01:21:22 Do they kiss? No, they're not sparkly. No, they don't sparkle. They kiss, they kiss. Do they like fly like in Twilight? He like spider monkeys No, they're not sparkly. No, they don't sparkle. They kiss. They kiss. Do they like fly like in Twilight? He like spider monkeys? We didn't have the effects in the 90s.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Oh, okay. For these sparkles and these flames. Angel was like the sexiest vampire. And then Spike was like the smart-ass vampire. These are such 90s names. Angel and Spike. The guy that played Spike, James Masters. I just looked him up.
Starting point is 01:21:44 62 years old. Wow. Sarah Michelle Gallows, 47. She played Buffy. So will she play Buffy again? No, no, no. She's not playing Buffy. They're going to get a new Buffy.
Starting point is 01:21:52 And they're saying reboot. So to me, reboot means a hard reset, not she comes in and takes the role of Rupert, who kind of, remember Rupert, the British guy? And they're going to have to Gen Z it up, though, aren't they? We've seen Gossamer do this, and it wasn't good. They did this with How I Met Your Mother, wasn't good. Wasn't good.
Starting point is 01:22:10 No, they did How I Met Your Father, right? Yeah. That's what it says about Gen Z, doesn't it? What? I know, they added a little too much of this and that, eh? Just go actually watch Buffy. Okay. It's so good.
Starting point is 01:22:21 Gen Z aren't the ones making these films. Calm down, I'm not directing it. Yeah, Buffy will come in and they'll be like, I killed him. And they'll be like, whoa, don't assume pronouns. And then Buffy will be cancelled. And Buffy's like, I'm just here to slay vampires. And they're like, you can't call them that anymore.
Starting point is 01:22:39 I'm here to slay two queens. Slay queen. Yeah. Hey, guys. Apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough. They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends. So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes.
Starting point is 01:22:57 Yeah, same. You know, the real losers out there. Same. No, no, no, we'll just... Yeah. Maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:06 No, but only after ours. Yeah, nah, nah, don't do that. And not more than ours. Yeah. Give us a sexy little review, though. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
