No, and I said to him, look, I've been watching Sade's Instagrams in which Vaughn pulls up a B-bag to the TV, puts his headphones in and doesn't engage with her. Don't do that to me. No, that's my gift to Sade and me not engaging with her. She has enough. Yeah. She actually asks me,

would you please play PlayStation? I have a feeling over the next year, me and Sade are going to get a lot closer. Yeah. We live like eight minutes apart. Yeah. If it happens at the same time, we'll be like, let's go.

You can join Sade for the wardrobe wine she has. And Aaron and I will get a lot closer without even needing to leave our house because we can communicate over the PlayStation. Can you connect, can you? I don't know how it works. I don't know.

Famous, though. Of course you can play other players. You put the floppy disk in and you start playing the DOS. Do you go into DOS? Yeah, you go run, run, speech mark, cat,

and then C, colon, run. You run. You get the C drive going. 100%. You're going to have to talk him through it. Coming up on the show, you may have heard Sam just mention the world's hottest September on record.

God, we're screwed, eh? Yep. Well, I'm... It's a pretty miserable December here, though. What? December. September. Oh, September.

Did I say December? I might have. Sounded like you said December. Ah, they're all the same to me. Bloody Romans. Bloody Romans, am I right? Name these months like they are in the place. Look at you said December. I might have. It sounded like you said December. Ah, they're all the same to me. Bloody Romans. Bloody Romans, am I right? Name these months like they are in the place. Look at you, bloody 604, and you're already thinking about the Romans.

Well, I'm sorry, Gregorian guy over here. I actually go by the Thai calendar. Right. Welcome to the year 2500. I want to delve into an article that I found yesterday with the headline, Travel will be extinct by 2040. Awesome. Great.

Travel's not an animal that we've developed a taste for, is it? No, I mean, those are going extinct as well. The orange travel of the South Pacific Sea. We need to talk about a new trend that we've seen on TikTok as well with butter. Oh, I love this.

I love butter. Yeah. Who doesn't love butter? But there's a new way of having it that TikTok's created that I reckon I might pull out this weekend. I'm not about this. Also on the way, the top six. Yeah, a woman online claims that humans are working harder

and longer than ever before. Okay. I don't know if I agree. No. And I've got the top six other people through history who might also disagree. Next on the show, though. There is a couple that has pulled off

one of the greatest dine-in dashes of all time. I'm not talking you're walking away from a delicious curry and getting straight in your car without paying. Think bigger. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I can safely say I have never done a dine and dash. I think I've accidentally, but I went back.

Oh, yeah, I walked down the street once and they came running out. Yeah, you forgot to pay. Yeah, totally. Whereas now you go to a BYO and they've got the, you know, the EFTPOS machine that's wireless and they just make you pay sometimes even before you order? Yeah, I know. Because they just cannot trust drunk people.

They bring you muster mung curry with the EFTPOS machine you like. Yeah. That's the good thing about that QR code too. You were paying as you went, weren't you? Yeah. Ordering the QR code. Yeah. I haven't dined and dashed since I dined and dashed

from the National Bank in 2001. Slightly different. I realized you'd give me all your money. Yeah, that's more of a heist. And then grabbed a couple of mints. Yeah, right. Hey, those on the way out. Yeah.

And then dashed. Yeah. Well, this is, you know, usually if you did a diamond dash, you know, you're starving a company of a couple hundred bucks max. There is a couple, got married. Where were they? In, um, uh, like Spainain somewhere italy italy sorry okay in italy and they were having their wedding there 80 guests beautiful you gotta think you

know italian sort of yeah yeah tuscan sort of vibes, trees and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some lovely, oh, I'll try to find some Italian music. Oh, thank you. Grazie mille. Should we see the scene? That's not what I'm after. That feels not Italian at all. Try to search Italian music. No, I want some.

What is this? This is terrible. Oh, yes, yes. Eh, eh. Buongiorck. What is this? This is terrible. Oh, yes. Yes. Hey. Buongiorno. Enjoy your meal. So they had a wedding of 80 guests, bride, groom, lavish dining experience.

Yeah. High quality food. Music, flowers, decorations. Music. Beautiful. Feels a bit Spanish. Italian and flowers, decorations. Music. Beautiful. Feels a bit Spanish. Italian and Spanish very close in music. Anyway, so after the wedding, obviously they didn't pay on the night,

but the next day they had to pay. So the guy who owns the restaurant that was attached to the venue that did all the food sent them the final invoice only to find that not only had they gone that did all the food, sent them the final invoice, only to find that not only had they gone with no intention to pay, they'd actually just fled the country. But were they on their honeymoon? Nope. They just literally did a runner.

Who's not getting a deposit for a wedding? I thought you paid up front for a wedding. I know. It doesn't sound, reading this, like they did. Did you pay up front for your wedding? You have to pay a deposit. Yeah. And then at the end

or the next day, you'd square it up. I think you had a few days, like, you know, getting a bill for me or like a seven or three or whatever day. So this couple

knew the venue owner who connected them with the restaurateur. Right. And was like, ah, they'll be all right. Right. So there was a bit of trust there. They was like, ah, they'll be all right. Right, so there was a bit of trust there. They were like, they'll pay.

Yeah, exactly. But they didn't, they fled. The bill was 5,000, no, 7,000 euro. That's not bad for 80 people. Yeah. So what, 14,000 New Zealand-ish. Oh, that's so much money. So the deadline was the Wednesday

following the ceremony. Went there, sent them. So they've moved overseas. They haven't just gone on a honeymoon. No, no, they're gone. Wow.

Yeah. They went, they went absolutely gone. You could say it was the Italian job. Yeah, he said they ate. You could say that. Did they escape

a little minis? Yes. My whole case is, I told you, I blew the bloody doors off. They ate and drank until their heart was content. They left at 10pm, but they were almost all drunk.

He said, they're drunk. This is booze. Now I just want an Aperol in Italy right now. Then he went to go get the bill. No one's heard from the couple since the day of the wedding. Especially if it's a local business. Yeah. So literally, nothing.

Yeah, it owes him money. He says, I'm going to continue to make them pay. So he's hunting them down. That sounds like a sequels in the works. Yeah, he said it's a considerable amount of money. I need to have this bill set. I have suppliers to pay, other overheads. So now the police are getting

involved. Well, speaking of travel in Italy, travel could be extinct, according to some experts, by 2040. What music would you like for that? Maybe some kind of... Like Tchaikovsky, like some big... Yeah. Some big bits.

Yeah. Some big bits. Yeah, some dramatic... Doomsday bits. Doomsday orchestral kind of vibes. You want the dynamic range, you want some slow, you want some low, you want some the dynamic range. You want some slow. You want some low.

You want some high and fast. I can do that. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, this is quite a scary article. Yep. This is a sustainable travel, a sustainable future for travel. This was commissioned by Intrepid Travel. Yeah. Do they do the travel packages and stuff? Intrepid Travel do your non-traditional travel. This was commissioned by Intrepid Travel. Do they do the travel packages and stuff?

Intrepid Travel do your non traditional travel. It's like they'll take you up the Himalayas. But more adventurous. Take you into the desert and stuff. Into the African wilds. So this report predicts key trends that will help us

with a sustainable future in travel. And travel as we know it could be on the brink of extinction by 2040. Now how do you mean? So destinations, a lot of destinations are going to become too hot. They're saying places like Mallorca and Greece. No, I love Greece. Could be so hot that it's going to make people choose holidays based on cooler places.

Wow. How hot? Over 40? I had friends that were in Europe like this summer and last summer. And it was like places like France, Spain. And it was insanely hot. Stonking. So they're going to become the new Death Valley.

Yes. Where you go, you're like, I went to the hottest place in Europe. Yes. And it was where humans have lived for thousands of years. What are the deserts going to be doing? They're probably going to be way hotter. So they're saying rising temperatures are also going to mean places like Lapland will struggle to maintain their snowy allure. Of course. Ski seasons are going to become shorter than ever and we're already seeing that.

Wasn't it by 2100 like the estimations of the places where the Winter Olympics could be was one place? Yeah. And it'll probably be fake snow, right? No, it was some place in Japan that was super hard to get to. That's the one place we can say

wolves probably still have snow. So low-lying destinations like the Maldives and Jakarta will nearly be fully submerged by 2050. And I looked up the population of Jakarta. It's 10.5 million people. Where are they going to go? Where are they going to go? Like, would you be buying an apartment or a house there now

with like a 30-year mortgage? Nope. Where are you going to go? Where are you going to go? Up. How do we? In the Jetsons, they just keep going up. 30 year mortgage? Nope. Where are you going to go? Where are you going to go? Up. In the Jetsons they just keep going up. Yeah. Well that's what Dubai, oh no Dubai's doing their long

skyscraper thing. What is it? The something mile thing? Oh yeah, that's in Saudi Arabia I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy. Yeah, we are going to go up. Oh God. Oh God. Yeah, gosh, yeah. Do your daughters, are they going to fix it? Can they fix it?

Um, are you just going to be like, good luck? Well, if Indy would get off bloody Roblox and go outside. Yeah.

She'll happily watch the world burn as long as you get to play some stupid role playing game on Roblox. God. Well,

it's all that, um, she'll be using the cloud. That takes energy. I know, that takes CO2. Oh no. They're not going to be clouds.

Or will the clouds be like acid rain, dangerous clouds? Is that what we're going to call where we keep our photos and data on the smoggy clouds instead of the clouds? On the smog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've uploaded it to the smog. Okay, let's forget about this depressing topic next. No, we can't forget about it.

Wash your recycling. Okay, you wash your recycling, and then you still get that Greek holiday. I've been recycling for at least 10 years. You deserve a Greek holiday. Thank you. I've been seeing on TikTok butter boards. So like, instead of having a cheese board or something.

No, don't get me started on this. I remember that I accidentally ate a cube of butter because I thought it was cheese. You did. But are you disappointed? Stop it. I wasn't disappointed but it looked like cheese. It did. It doesn't taste like cheese. I know it doesn't taste like

cheese. It's good for you. It was very embarrassing. Getting butter like room temp and then putting it on a platter, smearing the butter over, putting like rosemary and garlic, sea salt, whatnot, and then getting a beautiful loaf of bread and you get it and you smear it. Right? I was on board with this. Butterboards.

Very aesthetic. Loving this. It's gone a step far. It's gone a step too far, I reckon. Okay. So someone is, you know a classic cob loaf, big brown loaf, cut a circle in it, lid off, thumb out the

filling, maybe turn that into a crumb or probably stuffing or eat it in the time being. So someone's taken that idea and what they've done is they've taken a block of butter, put it in the microwave, melted it, put it into

like a candle size mould, like a cup or a jar or even an old candle. Right, like their old decoyer. Their old decoyer. Washed out. You don't want bloody French pear and frangipani rubbing off on your butter. No, no, no. Pouring the liquid butter

in it, stick in a wick, let it set. So now it's a butter candle. Then you've got your cob loaf with the hole in it. Shove the butter candle in, light the wick. Oh my God.

And it just melts into the loaf. And then you're ripping off from the cob, dipping into the top of the butter candle as it starts melting from the wick. This is, I mean. This is intense. My concern is if you're using a jar you're going to have to go, it's a thin get in the bread past the candle.

You scrape it out so it's its own force. That's what I was saying. You might be better to form it in something like a plastic cup or a paper cup so you can easily slice it inside and take it off. A silicon muffin tray. Silicon muffin tray. With baking paper so you can pull slice it a silicon muffin tray. Silicon muffin tray. With baking paper so you can pull it out, take it off, slip it in.

You wouldn't need the baking paper. But I wonder if you'd be better just to put butter into, like hollow out a block of butter and use like tea light candles because then that would melt the butter. So you just have the whole slab of butter. But then the wax could go in. But it's not the aesthetic. Look at the butter candle. I mean, it's very

festive. It actually looks like an aqua. It does. It looks like a soy wax candle. And then you just rip it into it and then you dip the bloody Because you how you make candles is you just get the wax and you put it in a thing and it gets up to 80 degrees. Yeah. And then you pour it in a thing and it gets up to 80 degrees.

Yeah. And then you pour it out and add the scent. So if you just got butter up to 80 degrees, that'd melt, but it wouldn't burn. Add the garlic. You could add garlic. What is the smoke point of butter? Okay, now we're doing it. Now we're doing it.

I just lost butter. Yeah, I think you're getting too into this. I'm also thinking I'm going to make a cob loaf today because it's Aaron's birthday. You're going to make a cob loaf? No, buy a's birthday and... You're going to make a cob loaf? Buy a sourdough loaf. There's a sourdough place... This is for a very small portion of the audience. No, I'm going to do the cheese one

because my mum and dad are in town. My mum makes... Have you had the sourdough place and the bread place in Cumbia? Daily Bread? No, in Cumbia. There's a sourdough place

in Cumbia. No one cares about your bread place in Cumbia. Is it attached to the... That's why I said it's only a beer. No one cares about the land. Is it attached to the

Whole Foods refillery? I believe so. Yes, yes, yes. That's good bread. That's good bread. That's good bread. That's good bread. You don't have time to make all this bread.

No, no, that's what I'm saying. You buy it there. You're not making it. You're buying it. And then I'm just getting the cream cheese and the cheese and the chives. We'll make a butter candle. We'll make a butter candle and let us know how this goes. Because it sounds pretty flash.

So I'm going to do a butter candle. I love the idea. Stand by. You can use the girls' candle making equipment if you want. I was getting too intense now. I'll just melt it in the microwave. And pour it and get it to reset. Yeah.

God, I'm a good girlfriend. Butter Candle and a PlayStation. I'm owed. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. I'm owed Hello there A plucky young thing Online claimed that humans are working longer and harder than ever And we're not made for it It's not what we're made to do online claimed that humans are working longer and harder than ever. And we're not made for it.

It's not what we're made to do. Okay. It doesn't feel like that, does it? Well, I could kind of, I think the wording was out because I think it's all go and it's, we're being over, all of our senses have been constantly overloaded. Yeah. And we're disillusioned with the end goal of working hard. We're all being told work hard and you'll get the rewards.

Like, what's this life for, man? Yeah. What's this life for? So, yeah, she said humans are working longer and harder than ever. And I thought, are we though? The top six humans that probably think, that would probably have something to say about us working harder than ever. And I thought, are we though? The top six humans that probably think that we probably have something to say about us working harder than ever.

Yeah. Number six on the list. The Egyptian slaves that built the pyramids using ancient technology to drag around tons and tons of rock might be like, I beg your pardon?

I worked quite hard. Imagine the Gen Z's bitching about that. Yeah. I did an hour of comedy. I haven't even seen the pharaoh this week. Does he even care what we're doing for him? No acknowledgement. I was here till 5.15.

No acknowledgement. The whips hurt, but just being ignored hurts more. Number five on the list of the top six humans that probably wouldn't think we're working more than ever. The slaves that died building the railway across America.

They might be like, go on. Wait, you get an air-conditioned office? Yeah, yeah. Wow. Because we're out here dying and then when we die, they just wheel in another one.

Little to no regard. Oh, we're also not getting paid. Oh, there's no in another one. Little to no regard. Oh, we're also not getting paid. Oh, there's no end in sight. No, no, no. This is just us until we die. But I would love to hear about having to work past five o'clock. Yes.

Number four on the list of the top six humans that probably wouldn't think we're working harder than ever are the peasants, slaves, and criminals that took 2,000 years to build the 21,196 kilometres of the Great Wall of China.

Big wall. That'd like a word. Yeah. Hey, we worked pretty hard on that. Just in an office, you say, because we were just told to just build this wall. Oh, what if we come to a cliff?

We build the wall up the cliff. How do you build a wall up a cliff? You die. Hang around and find out. And it's going to take us 2,000 years too. So that's way longer than you're going to be alive. Is that how long it took to build the Great Wall of China? Yeah.

2,000 years. 2,000 years. No. Yeah, from start to end was 2,000 years. Number three on the list. Who's that? Is that me? Yeah, it's you because you always were you.

Beanie. Beanie. And the sound sneaks out. And my microphone's like, Is that me? Yeah, it's you. Because you always were, yeah, Beanie. And the sound sneaks out. And my microphone's like, yes, give me more. Give me more. More sound. Number three on the list of the top six humans that probably wouldn't think we're working harder than ever. The Incans that painlessly slaved for 60 years

to build Machu Picchu at extremely high elevations, might stop their llama for a listen to your claims that you're working harder than they're working. Yeah. Because they knew they had to build it for the gram as well. Yeah. You know, that aesthetically. Yeah.

Come on, guys. We're on a timeline. We're on a timeline. We're on a timeline. Instagram's coming. Yeah, 2006 or something. Do you know what it was built for? Instagram.

Prior to Instagram. Facebook. Yeah. Incagram. Do you know what it was built for? Instagram. Instagram. Prior to Instagram. Facebook. Incagram. Incagram. Incagram. It was where you stood somewhere and someone else carved it into a stone tablet and then you had to take it with you. Shed it around.

And then would you walk up to people and they might hurt it? You'd be like, look. And they'd be like, chisel, chisel a heart. They'd have to tear their own heart out and put some blood on it. Do you have the actual reason? The actual reason was, so the really rich people had somewhere to escape during the end of the world.

Up? Up. Up the mountain. Good Lord. The mountains that are so high due to the insane amount of tectonic action. No train.

Oh, okay. Llamas. No train. Llama trains. Llamas. Number two on the list of the top six humans that would probably think

we're not working harder than ever before in 2023 are the druids that dragged huge stone slabs across England countryside to dig them in, push them up, lift them in, and then balance them to make Stonehenge. Beautiful henge. With God knows what as tools.

That's my favourite henge. Is it? Actually, yeah. My favourite henge is Chris Hengeworth. Did he say he was getting roasted last weekend for his kids? His kid was in first class on the plane and they were just like, who was getting roasted? The dude gets millions of dollars to do movies.

Leave him alone. He's not flying economy. He's not on a private jet. He's not going PJ. So yeah, the balance of a stonehenge. God knows what his tools. They'd put a hex on your family

for thinking that you're working harder than they worked for their ancient gods. Yeah. They were always very angry. Yeah, they were. Gods were never like,

great job, guys. Yeah. They were always like, oh, you're finished, are you? Good, next. And number one on the list of the top six humans that probably wouldn't think we're working harder than ever in 2023.

The ancient desert traders and goat herders of Jordan who worked tirelessly in the desert to get to the point of wealth where they could carve their houses out of rock cliffs just to get out of the heat that they were living in. But then literally had to carve them out of rock with ancient tools and then sleep on a rock floor and they thought that was luxury. They look pretty. They would like a word. Yeah, they did. They got better.

They were also doing it for the gram as well. Yeah. They were, weren't they? Yeah. They all knew it was coming, didn't they? They knew it.

People are going to want to stand in front of this. People are going to love this Indiana Jones or I think we'll use this as a movie set. I think we should.

Yeah. Sometime in the future. That's today silly little poll. Silly little poll. Silly little poll. Silly little poll. Silly little poll. Today's silly little poll. Don't you dare tell people how I do my magic. There's a spoon shoved into his beanie, everyone.

Don't you dare. Today's silly little poll. Are you currently looking for a job? Yeah, so Trade Me has revealed that the number of people applying for jobs is nearly twice as many as at the same time last year. Last quarter, every region had a record average salary.

Right. Salary's on the rise to try to keep up with the cost of living, I guess. They did some research saying the cost of living, like people wanting more money, flexible hours, people wanting a better lifestyle,

or just a career change are just three of the main reasons behind the surge in job seekers. Okay. Well, the results. Sorry, I can't see the results because I'm currently changing the name of the Facebook chat to Greg Gruff Day's Birthday. Because it's Aaron's birthday. Yeah. This is Hayley's fiance.

You do that and I'll do the results. No, I can do it now. But also, it was weird when I was doing that, every other text, all other texts

slacking off to make them look competent or make me out to be the ones slacking off to make them look competent. Or make me out to be the ones slacking off to make them look more competent. So yes, I'm looking for a new job at the moment. I hate that shit, eh, when people call that. The secret is getting a boss that's just as incompetent as you are. Yes, and that's why we love

Ross. No, I'm kidding. Oh shoot, I'm in trouble. You're in trouble. I shot off my big mouth. Ruby Kate says, I'm being paid just above minimum wage and I control all the customer orders for a multi-million dollar business. Burnout is real. I'm hunting.

I just like to be somewhere where I can make a difference and it's not all... Oh, that's really nice. Oh, no. And it's not all about money. We misjudged Lisa. You don't do this job for the money. You do it for the people, but it would be nice to be appreciated. That's the thing.

These people do an incredible job. These health carers, the nurses, all of them. It's an incredible job. Pay them more. I know. I'm on board with grumpy Lisa. Someone said I bought a new business instead. Be your own boss.

I can be my own boss because I just ask myself and just. Yeah, can I get. Can I go on holiday? I'm in an echo chamber of poor decisions because I don't even consult myself.

It's so good. It's the best lollipop. Or is it our secret? I know, but lollipop's a secret. It should be shared. Yeah. Lollicake. Lollicake.

Whatever you call it. It is simply the best lollipop you'll ever eat. It is. And we've eaten a lot. There's a place nearby that does it. We get that all the time. And the secret is replacing the malt biscuits with Biscoff biscuits, which are superior.

Shannon, you should do it. I know you've got a lot on your plate and you're a very busy girl, but I know you're also very good at making videos. You should do a video of you making some. Yeah, I can do that. Oh, my God, how to make lolly cake. Oh, my God, I just discovered a hack on how to make lolly cake batter. Lolly cake that will change your life.

I literally just got the countdown recipe and then swapped out the biscuits and then I did a little bit less butter because the biscoff biscuits are already a bit. I think we should take a photo before we finish the whole board. She made a double batch, the board's nearly empty. It's 7.17. Take a photo of one of the slices. We're all speaking a little bit faster. The sugar's hit, the sugar's 7.17. Take a photo of one of the slices. We're all speaking a little bit faster. Because I love it.

The sugar's hit. The sugar's hit. Oh, my God. Thank you. It is so delicious. Now, there's been a study done that the average parent will cave 218 times a year to their child's demands. We'll say every once every day and a bit. Did you have a parent that was, you were saying, yeah, I think my parents equally as. My dad was a little bit. Did you have a parent that was, that you were saying,

yeah, I think my parents equally as. My dad was a softie. Well, kind of, because then when he would, you know, mum would get him

to rock up and give us a bit of a bloody, I'll say it, a clip around the ears. Yeah. Then you'd be like, we've really upset everyone

because dad's upset. You know what I mean? Whereas mum was the one who was more the disciplinarian. But if we pushed so far then dad got shitty. There's a few times I can remember my dad sitting us on the couch and just screaming at us. All three of us just screaming

at us. Look how upset your mother is! This vein in his head boom boom boom boom. I remember getting prank calling and they got the local cop to come and tell us off. And then my dad had to come

and pick me up from my friend's house, silence in the car and then was like, when you get in there, you better go and talk to your mother. And I was,

I just remember that feeling of being like, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to. You prank call. David Robertson. Oh, so a person,

it wasn't like a store No a kid from school What were you doing When he answered Hey is David there I'm the stuff I'm the stuff So as a parent Vaughan

You must Are you the tougher Would you say You're the tougher parent I'm 100% Because I was raised By those people I've never

Never hit them No no no I just mean like Girls have a way of tugging. They're supposed to. And you do like, sometimes you'll lay it down and then you have to like leave and be like, oh God, that didn't feel good.

But like you have to. And I've explained to them, I'm trying to make you the best human you can be. So when you leave, people are like, because I said, we all know people like that, don't we? I've said that to them. We know people that don't like being around. And they're like, yeah. And I'm like, imagine if someone said that to him. We know people that we don't like being around. And they're like, yeah.

And I'm like, imagine if someone said that about you one day. Yeah. That's what we're trying to avoid. But I'm the guy who will say it and then stick to it. But Sade's like. Don't be so tough. Oh, don't be so mean to me. So she would cave.

How many times do you think she's caved this year? Well, she caved just last night. Right. August is like, I'm full. There was still dinner on the plate. And I said, that's fine because that means dad gets more or can save it for lunch today, which I'm fine with. I said, but that means there's no room for dessert.

And what a shame. Mum's got ice cream. Yum. What kind of ice cream mum get? Chocolate. Yum. And then it was like. Just chocolate.

No, it's classer. You can't beat it. I was at the bench. August was at the table. It was almost like everybody else wasn't there. And then we just locked eyes. And she's like, fine. And then crossed her arms.

And I went, great. Crossed my arms. Were you locked eyes or were you looking in a mirror, a mini mirror? Yeah, it was a mini mirror. It was a mini mirror. And then we, like, it was a, I was like, oh, no, no, she said she's full. As I recall, the F word was used. So that's fine. Give me your food and we, the F word was used. So that's fine.

Give me your food and we'll put that away for tomorrow. And that's fine. No dessert for you. And she was like, fine. And then Sade was like, go on, go and get some ice cream. No, Dad said I wasn't allowed. Oh, wow. She has got a stubbornness.

Yeah, I'm saying you are allowed. No, well, Dad said I wasn't. So I guess that's what's happening. And then Sade dished her up ice cream and put it in front of her. And I stood there and I watched her take the first mouthful and I was like, interesting. 100%. Sade's will cave.

You can't do that. And then 20 minutes later it's like, yeah, well, you've been good for approximately 20 minutes. Yeah. A quarter of an hour, you haven't been a little rascal. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. It's the final ranking.

Oh, my God. God, I love rom-coms. Today we're ranking rom-coms. I don't, I have my. I'll give you, I'll list some off. Okay, I've got limited knowledge. We've got, I was going to say Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Forget that film.

There's Something About Mary. Oh my God, because of Russell Brand. Yeah, he's a pest. Oh. Crazy Stupid Love, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones' Diary, Four Weddings and a Funeral, How to Lose a Guy in, what is it, 10 Days. 10 Days. Love Actually. Is Love Actually a real girl? Well, that's what they're sort of days. Love Actually. Is Love Actually a rom-com?

That's what they're sort of saying. 50 first dates. All you've got to think about is your bloody Adam Sandler's, your Hugh Grant's. Go out on a limb here. Have there been any good rom-coms in the last 10 years?

I've heard people on Smartless, the Will Hayes and Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman podcast, they've talked about this. How like comedies and rom-coms have fallen away. Bridesmaids, not really a rom-com. Is it a rom-com? That's just a comedy, right? Because it's more about the friendship than it is about the boy meets girl thing.

Crazy Rich Asians, you're saying, is a good rom-com. That's probably of recent years. It was pretty good, yeah. But like, it peaked in like the 90s, right? Early 2000s. Yeah, totally. Like all the... 80s and...

Rumour has it... Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks made a bunch of them. And then Matthew McConaughey came in and made a whole bunch. Hugh Grant is the king of rom-coms. Yeah. And I love Hugh Grant. We're talking about this because Annie Hathaway, where we shall call her the name she wants to be called,

was on James Corden, who we love. I thought it was done. No. Why didn't he get invited to be on the podcast with all the other Toshas? Because the rumours are true. How has he done? It must be a story from pre-writer's strike. It is. No, this is a story for a little bit,

but now it's gone online and people have been like, can we remember the fact that Annie Hathaway said this? You're right, it's from a while ago. One, her two favourite rom-coms, Notting Hill, which is very much... A rom-com. One of my favourites of all time. Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, you've got to be kidding

me, it's perfection. And then she said her second one is Gone Girl. Ben Affleck. No, that's a horrific crime drama. That's a dark drama. Everyone was like, um, what? Is there even romance in that?

She's like, it's a David Fincher rom-com of sorts. Like the couple ends together in the end. David Fincher famously doesn't write rom-coms. No. He writes thrillers. He writes mysteries. Yeah. Dramas.

No, I'm sorry. Rosamund Pike. Annie Nee Anne Hathaway. Okay. I've got my list. Bridget Jones's Diary. No. Okay.

Notting Hill is number three. Yeah. I love that film so much. Boy meets famous girl. She can't make itary. No. Okay. Notting Hill is number three. Yeah. I love that film so much. Boy meets famous girl. She can't make it work. It's beautiful. Number two, Four Weddings and a Funeral. The British one.

Yep. So funny. Okay. Someone's dead in the coffin. It was his lover. The dad's lover. Played by Peter Dinklage. It's so good.

Oh, About a Boy. That's in there. Oh, About a Boy's great. Bridget Jones' Diaries number one for me. Mmm. Mark Darcy, I bloody love you.

Is Knocked Up technically a rom-com? Yes. Really? Sure, why not? Yeah. Knocked Up's good. 40-Year-Old Virgin,

is that a rom-com? Yeah, it is a rom-com. That's a rom-com. Romance was at the centre of it. Judd Apatow does a good rom-com. Yeah, he does. He does a funny rom-com? Yeah, it is a rom-com. His romance was at the centre of it. Judd Apatow does a good rom-com. Yeah, he does. He does a funny rom-com. Really funny.

Harry Met Sally. I mean, come on. They're so good. Anyway, that's my three. I'm going Notting Hill. I'm going to really struggle. Full Weddings and a Funeral. I'm really struggling with three.

Bridget Jones's Diary. Yeah. Just pick one. Taken? Yes. Taken 2? Yes. You and John Wick.

Great movie. Yes! I think we've done it. Have we done it? Surely yours is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I love a bit of McConaughey.

You know this. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Now this really made me laugh and I had to share it. There is a single woman who has been dating as many single people do.

Married women shouldn't be dating. What? Why not? It just depends on the contract. She says when she she has shared she believes she's mastered the art

of painlessly getting out of a second date by making them reject her. So she's on a date, so I'm on a date with you and it's going along and I'm like, ugh, fine.

Just not feeling it. Not feeling it. Don't want a second date. But I don't want to say, hey, thank you very much, but I'm not interested in a second date. Yep. So her way of doing it,

of getting the person she's on a date with to instead reject her, is that she starts to talk about the fact that the moon isn't real. Man, she'd have to sell that because I would laugh. I would laugh if I was on a date with someone and they were like

what are your thoughts on the moon? I'd be like I'm interested to hear yours. So she was like, look, you know a lot of people talk about they believe the moon landing was fake. Not really a new theory. You'd just be like, oh god you could probably debate that easily. She's like, I take it a step further to ensure that they will not ask me on a second date.

I just tell them I don't believe that the moon is real. That's so good. Here's the danger. Oh, yep. He's like, oh, my God, finally, someone who sees it from my point of view. In a follow-up video to her saying this, because people are like, this is genius.

Yeah. She has shared the three statements she uses to prove that the moon isn't real, to really get them going that she's a mad woman. Yeah. Number one, if you know, you know. She said, I just think it's ridiculous that all these billionaires are going up into space.

I mean, when they get up there, what do they expect to be up there and not down here? They're going up and seeing the moon's not real and being like, oh, we'll keep that to ourselves. Billionaire Boys Club. False evidence, she says. Look, I'm just saying that if you look at the science, I love

that, look at the science of how light refraction works when it enters the atmosphere. It would bend it in a way that to the naked eye would look like solid mass, but it's not. It's just light refracting. That's not a moon. Also, at the end of the day, do you know anyone who's actually been to the moon?

I don't. Wow. Okay, yeah, at this point, you're like, this chick's crazy. I don't want a date. I don't want a second date. Oh, my God, listen to this. Number three, blame Greenland.

80% of the island is covered in ice and uninhabitable. You're really going to tell me that's not where the projectors are? Oh, so it's... Wait. Actually, now that I think about it, do you personally know anyone who's been to Greenland? Oh, that's so good. Is Greenland real?

Oh, my God, it's fantastic. The other problem you have is that you get a reputation. Like, if you live in New York or something, that's fine. You're never going to see these people or know people she knows. But you can't pull this if you live in New Plymouth. I know. Or Palmerston North. She's got a date with Moon Girl?

I wouldn't do it in New Plymouth anyway because you're likely to find someone who completely agrees with you. The moment you say it, they'll be like, oh no. But even in a big New Zealand city, it's like, yeah, you went on a date with Moon Girl? She thinks the moon's not real. And then she works down there with Thingy. Oh, the blonde girl. And she's Thing's brother. She's just like,

but she's hot, so maybe. Yeah, you'd still sleep with Moon Girl. Anyway, I want to know the excuse you use to get out of going on a date, whether it was a first date or the second date or third date, whatever. But if you've come up with a creative way of not having to go,

not leaving, but actually not having to go in the first place. So what, you've teed up a second date or you've gone on a first date with someone. Yeah, and you don't want to have another one. What have you said? How did you get out of it? Maybe you said I'm moving to another country. Yeah, or maybe you've just got a really creative way, like this

chat, of being like, I'll just wheeze my way out of it. I'll crazy my way out of it. Do you think we're asking too much? Because most people just ghost, don't they? Just don't reply. Yeah, they do. I'm sure there'll be people that have come up with better ways than just ghost.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We want to know how you've got out of a date. What excuse you've used. This woman gets out of being asked on a second date by, on the first date, starting to talk about the moon not being real and she's got a backup list of reasons including what about Greenland? So people think she's

like a complete nut job. Nut job so they don't ask her on a second date and she doesn't have to go on one. Lauren, how did you get out of a date? Well I was out we'd kind of been on our fourth date and I was just really getting the yuck. He was a little bit overly keen. I was not.

Yeah, gross. So somehow I ended up staying at his house. And I decided that I would start heavily snoring. So what, you'd be like, have your little fun times and then be like... Yeah, literally. And you could tell he was getting really frustrated during the night because he was like tossing and turning.

So you would wake up and you'd be like, oh yeah, okay, better wake myself up for a little snore. Oh yeah, well, trying to get to sleep, I was snoring. Well, I wasn't actually trying to get to sleep, I was busy faking it. But then, yeah, halfway through the night as well, I was like, oh, I'm going to do it again just to try and piss him off. You are so good, man. That is so good, I love that. I love that so much. You're so good, man. That is so good.

I love that. I love that so much. I'm no actor, but it worked. It worked. Did he ghost you, or did he just come up with some other excuse? No, he, yeah, he ghosted. That's so good.

It wasn't one I was depressed about. Wait, I think this is very bright. Can we call over the week, Lauren, please? Absolutely. Because this is genius. From one actor to another, a think this is very bright. Can we call her of the week, Lauren, please? Absolutely. Because this is from one actor to another. Bravo on the

performance. Love it, love it. Lauren, we'll hook you up. Call her of the I can never remember anything in the middle of the night

when I wake up. Shut up and let me have a joke over here. I can never remember to do anything in the middle of the night. Like it's literally

wake up, either go straight back to sleep or go wheeze and then go back to sleep. If I woke up, I wouldn't be like, better do my snoring. Time to pull up

my performance gear. Time to persevere. Yeah. Hey, our caller of the week, you won a $50 McCafe voucher thanks to our friends

at McCafe. We aren't talking about how to get out of dates. Maybe it's a second date. Maybe you're on a date and you're like, I do not want to be asked

on a second date by this person. So I am going to have to sabotage this. Sabotaging it is so funny to me. Self-sabotage. She's just like, I'm not want to be asked on a second date by this person. So I am going to have to sabotage this. Sabotaging it is so funny to me. Self-sabotage. She's just like, I'm going to sabotage this, babe. Snoring.

Yeah, snoring. Let's go to Kendall. Kendall, how did you get out of a date? I was meant to meet someone, but before I was hanging out with my sister. Okay. And I forgot half an hour before. I was like, oh, crap, I've got a date to go to. Oh, I don't really want to go. Like, he's a a date to go to. Oh, I don't really want to go.

Like, he's a bit of a weirdo. Like, I don't get very good vibes. Great. And she was like, oh, hey, no worries. Just say I've been in a minor car accident and that you need to come and save me. My sister's been in a car accident. A minor, minor.

Yeah, just a ding. And he was like, oh, hey, text me back. No worries. It's all. Yeah, just a ding. And he was like, oh, hey, text me back. No worries. It's all good. Just take your time. I hope she's all okay. How did you avoid ever talking to him again? I think I just, like, blocked him, maybe.

Yeah. Kendall. But he was so nice when your sister was in that minor car accident. He popped by the hospital, bought soup. Oh, my God. I mean, it worked. Kendall, thank you.

Some messages in. COVID. Oh, yeah. How good was COVID? Sorry, I can't make up. I've got COVID. Sorry, I've got COVID again. Man, you've had it 10 times in a row.

What about whiskey tea next week? You won't believe it. I've still bloody got it. It's lingering. You won't believe this. I've got Zika. Yeah. Oh, no. It popped back to a 2016 I've still bloody got it. It's lingering. You won't believe this. I've got Zika. Yeah. Oh, no.

It popped back to a 2016 virus. It really popped off back in the day. My now wife blew me off for a scheduled second You Behave, second date. You've got to watch where you put commas on this show. She said she had to Scotchgard the new couch. Oh, okay. And then later on I found out that that wasn't true. She just wasn't in the mood for me, but then somehow came around.

And you look at one or other. Yeah. She's got a beautiful couch. Hey, guys, all people could just be authentic and say they're not interested in a second date. Cheers. You're boring. Yeah, but where's the funny story in that? Yeah.

Give us a call. 0800 DOLLS at M if you've been authentic and open and honest. Oh, man, stand by for these calls here. Yeah, stand by. Oh, hey, guys, I'm a good human Hey, thanks for calling man, here's caller of the week Laugh out loud, I've fledged one on Hayley Not a second date

but I weaseled my way out of an early relationship He took himself as a little bit of an intellectual, so I played up being an airhead Oh my gosh He was a hydro engineer and I asked him questions like Hey, how do rivers always have water in them? Great.

And would play makeup tutorials on YouTube videos as much as possible when I was around him. Drove him crazy. And he was the one that peaced out. Very successful. Yeah, right. Or again, probably just to say, hey, I'm not into this. I'll just ghost them like everyone else. I had a guy tell me he saw a demon in his then girlfriend's eyes and

knew she couldn't handle it so. Invited it into him? Wait what? Like a spirit I can see a demon in your eyes you can't handle demons, I'll have the demon come and get in my eyes demon I need to

be some brother of a cycle bush You'd be getting out of that yeah it took me to see Wicked the musical I love musicals but this guy

I did not like at all so during that performance I was in his ear talking the entire way through it a lot of the time bragging about how I used to be in shows

in primary school and I think I was as good if not better than the people a professional cast? Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. ZM's 25K Cash Catcher.

Yes, those are the compliments I like because it's grounding.

Thank you so much. She messaged him the other day

and he replied, didn't he? He did reply and then I sent him a video and then he said it didn't come through. And now he's not talking to me anymore. But thank you, Fran. Let's finish off with another Hayley. Another Hayley. Good morning. You've got a compliment for Hayley

pre-birthday. Oh, hi. Yes. It's my birthday too today. Oh my gosh. Happy birthday. Thank you. And I just think you're hilarious and I love driving to work listening to you. Funny. I bring it up to people's

That's lovely. That's so nice. Does that wrap up the Hayley Sparrow compliment? Why? Is the bucket full? Well, the bucket is the brimming. Absolutely. Oh, I'd say it's overflowing.

Yes. My cup runneth over. Thank you, everyone. You are. I wish everyone was this easy to buy a gift for. Like, we didn't spend a single bit of money on that. This is literally all I want. Well, my cup runneth over. Thank you everyone. I wish everyone was this easy to buy a gift for. We didn't spend a single bit of money on that.

This is actually all I want. Well, Shannon did. Shannon's made me this gorgeous vest which I actually forgot because she mentioned, she said

I want to make you something for your birthday. This looks so cute. I love this. A lot of gaps in that. It's crochet.

Your nipples will poke through. I know but I've got fantastic dresses. So it's kind of perfect. Now no one rung up and that, but that goes without saying.

No, some texts came in. I just didn't know if we were doing that. No, I don't think we are. But no. Well, thank you, and they're not wrong. No. No, that they're there. Well, thank you, everyone, for my birthday compliments.

It truly makes me very happy. We could pile on, but there's quite a few texts coming through of compliments. We could carry on that way. You want to? I'll just get it. Can we get a printout of the text machine, please? No, actually. We're just saying how you love birthdays.

I love birthdays. Yeah. So it's my birthday on Sunday. Aaron's my fiancé's today. So on Saturday, the day between, we're having drinky-poos. And I had a great idea. Because tonight I'm going out to dinner with my parents in town where you live Fletch

and I was like we're going to have drinky so what I'll do is I'll drive me and my family into town give you my car we'll Uber back and tomorrow

when you come out to my house you can take my car now this is great you've just saved Fletch like a 70 a solid 70 dollar Uber

you've saved me money because I live quite far away. And you would have been Ubering out tomorrow because you're going to have drinks with me. Well, I was thinking about calling you and saying, can you pick me up? On my birthday celebrations. On your day of your celebrations, if you could drive into town, pick me up and then drive you back. She just did a 30 minute drive into town. She is asking a lot of her friends to come all the way to where she lives.

It's my birthday. Fair point. Anyway, I was like, where she lives. It's my birthday. Fair point. Anyway, I was like, this is perfect. I get a win. I get to drive into town tonight without having to worry about my car being in town and get a few drinks. And it's a win for you

because you get to drive my car back out. Yeah. And then you can have a few drinks and Uber back into town. Before we even, before the dust settles on my idea. The body was warm. This guy's on his phone ringing every Tom, Dick and Harry

saying, hey I've got Hayley's car tomorrow so I'll come pick you up. And I was like, From Mangere Bridge! Which is the antithesis of where I live. Basically the airport. It's like saying to someone, hey do you need a ride to the airport? I've got Hayley's car, tank full of gas and three quarters of an hour to burn.

That's literally what he said. One of our friends messaged back being like, oh, yeah, I'll give Hayley some money because it's her car. And then before I was even like, that would be nah.

Fletch goes, oh, no, don't worry, she's got a full tank of gas. Besides the fact that after this, I was mid-conversation with Fletch and he was looking at me and then he just picked up his phone and I thought he was referencing something on his phone in a conversation and he goes

I'm probably going to be there in about 12, 13. Vaughn's going on about his dog hose. It's a dog washing brush. You asked. He did ask. He said, what's that? How does it work? And then you kept going.

I can pick you up at 12. I know the hose plugs into it and it comes out the bristles. It's about 12 o'clock. I'm done now. The worst bit... Mad conversation. And then, right, Vaughan... So Vaughan's been cut off.

He's feeling cut off and discarded while you're using my vehicle as a taxi service because I've got a full tank of gas. I've made him money, apparently. Then Vaughan's like, well, can I get something out of this? And Vaughan says to Fletch, or maybe you could swing past my house and get me too. And Fletch just goes, oh no. We'll have

a car full by the time we get out there. I've got four people to pick up. So you would rather go to Mangere, which is 50 minutes from my house than pick up Vaughan who lives eight minutes away. Well I mean unless I drop them off and then go pick up Vaughan.

Well, you certainly will be doing that. Well, it was your guess. I'd get in the boot. It's your services. I'd get in the boot, but this bitch's car's a filthy mess. Oh, my God, it's so full. It is full. I picked up tiles yesterday.

Have you warned people about the state of this automobile? Yeah, I have. I spilled a whole box of washing powder in the back. It smells so good, but it's so gritty. Yeah, it's good stuff. Play it. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day, and this week entirely, has been Sesame Street week, and there's been heaps of little facts that I haven't been able to squeeze in. So today's fact of the day is five super quick facts about Sesame Street. Number five, Cookie Monster's first name is Sid. Yes, I knew this.

His British cousin's name is Biscuit Monster. Didn't know that. And Snuffleupagus's first name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus. Aloysius Snuffleupagus. Aloysius Snuffleupagus. What a great name. Number four on the Sesame Street facts. Carol Spinney, who was Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch,

who passed away in 2019 and was the only person until that day who had played Big Boyd, said he based Oscar the Grouch's voice on a cab driver from the Bronx who took him to the audition. He was auditioning for the voice. He had no idea what he was going to do for a voice and he got in this guy's like, what do you want? And just talked to him the entire drive to the audition. Absorbing. Trying to work out how to do his voice the best.

How did he drive a cab in a trash can? That's amazing. Hand controls. Oh, okay. Number three, the oldest Muppet. Who do you think the oldest Muppet is? One of those old guys in the box? No, technically it's Count Von Count, the vampire.

Oh, yeah. Born on October 9, 1.8 million BC. Gee. So he's old. He's very, very old. Very. Number two, Tally, the sort of like nervous, purpley monster, Tally monster.

The skinny one. Yeah. He was originally, the Tally stood for television monster, and he was called that because he liked Cookie Monster, was obsessed with cookies, he was obsessed with television, and watched too much of it. Right. And so the whole lesson to be learnt was watch some TV,

but not too much. Yeah, right. And now he's just medicated, so he watches as much as he wants. He's medicated. Potatoing out on the couch. Wow, absolutely. And number one, another Sesame Street fact. Five quick ones today.

There is now an actual Sesame Street. In early 2019, in the honour of the show's 50th anniversary and its impact on New York, New York renamed a street in Manhattan at the intersection of West 63rd and Broadway to Sesame Street. So you can actually go to Sesame Street. That's great. And the sign looks like the Sesame Street sign despite looking different to all the go to Sesame Street. That's great. And the sign looks like the Sesame Street sign

despite looking different to all the other signs around it. I love that. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Take my money. Take, I don't have enough for this, but take it and we'll work it out in post because the house from sex education, the house where the main guy lives with his mum. Yep. Who is Gillian Anderson?

Gillian Anderson. Otis and Jane Milburn. Thank you. That house is up for sale for about three million New Zealand dollars, which in New Zealand actually, for this house, doesn't seem absurd because our house prices are so stupid. I remember when I first, when I watched season one

of Sex Ed and saw that like establishing shot of that house, I was like, wow, that's nice. All I saw was a headache. Yeah, I know. I saw a leaky roof. I saw a wooden joinery. I saw an exterior cladding that would be a nightmare to match

if you only lost a bit of it. It would be prone to rot given its age. I saw an absolute pain in the ass concrete tile roof. Fireplaces. Yeah. These are a lot of things that I have In my house, which is in fact A nightmare, so there you go Built in 1912, a salmon fishing lodge

In Herefordshire, England Upper Gorge, which is very close to Wales Incredible house, five Bedrooms, three bathrooms And it is just stunning, it's got this Wooden detail, it's huge It's my cup of tea the colors did they actually film in the house because you know sometimes they'll use a house but

they don't film in it i don't think so because i'm trying to find the lounge which was the main space yeah i think they used the exterior of it okay but the interior looks too bright and kind of fun and modern for that house, from my memory of it. Yeah. Not sure. Also, is the latest season of Sex Ed worth watching? Because I got to the point where- Yes, I tapped out.

I've heard good things. End it. Really? Okay. This was the final one, eh? Yes. I've heard good things. So stay with it?

Yep. Okay. Or if you come this way, you might as well. Yeah, might as well. I'll dip a toe back with you. Okay. Anyway, so imagine being the owner of this awesome house and being like, that's my house.

It's a sale. A famous house. I remember... You could do it with a water blast and a stain. Yeah. I'm just going through picking things up. Oh my God, Dad. I remember going,

when I first started visiting Auckland when I was a teenager, going out to West Auckland for the Outrageous Fortune House. Which they've now bowled, right? They bowled that a few years back. And they put up 10,000 townhouses. Oh, moment of silence. But you were right. People would always go to that house.

It would be a pain. Yeah. I want to know, does your house have like a claim to fame? Even if it's not a bright one, maybe some notorious crime took place in your house. Or maybe just a famous person lived there. Famous person used to own it. Maybe it's been used and been on the telly. In an ad.

Maybe it's been used in an ad. What is your house's claim to fame? 0800 DALES. Give us a call. You can text her as well. 9696. Does your home have a claim to fame? The house from the Netflix show Sex Ed is for sale.

This is Otis and his mum's house. Yeah, it's so beautiful. A Norwegian's fishing home. It's a Norwegian house. So gorgeous. I'd buy it. I hope whoever buys it is a fan of using Monsanto's Roundup because the gardens are going to need an absolute spraying.

It's practical, Dad. Yeah, stop being so practical. I know. Bonnie, and we want to know this morning what your house's claim to fame is. Bonnie, you live in a famous New Zealand home. Yes, I did. I used to. I moved into a flat, and it was used for the outside shots for the flat from the Almighty

Johnson. Oh, I remember that house. Yeah. Yeah, it was in Kingsland. Yes. But they never filmed inside. I don't think so. They used, like, the front door, and we came home from work one day,

and our, like, front veranda was all set up with all their stuff. Yeah, yeah. Oh, so you moved in after they were currently using it. They were currently using it. And your landlord wasn't giving you the heads up for that? You were just turning up from work and someone was there? No, they came and asked us. Oh, okay.

But I think they asked before I moved in. Right. Rent decrease. Did they give you guys some money for the rent? Bit of pinger? I think so. I can't really remember, but they did, when they were filming there, invited us to have breakfast with all their crew trucks and everything.

Oh, yeah. You're always good catering on those sets. You're always good catering, actually. Jess, your grandmother's house was famous. Yes. My story's not as cool as Bonnie's. Hey, we're not here to compare apples with oranges. We don't compare stories to other stories.

So my grandmother's house was in Maggie's Garden show, so it goes way back. Maggie's Garden. I remember that. And then do you remember when she became a national politician? Yes. She was so nice when she was talking about flowers. She does not say the same thing about beneficiaries. No.

Wow. And so that was a real claim to fame for Gran. Well, it was for her. I was, like, I remember them talking about a photo on her office desk, which was me and my brother playing in the garden, and we would have been, like, four at the time. Oh, my God.

My friends told me that. I didn't see the serum on the episode, but my friend told me that she'd seen me in this thing, and I was like, what? Wait, so you were literally in the titles every time it played. You were there playing in the garden. Your grandma's house was there. No, it was just a one-off.

A picture. A one-off. A one-off. Amazing. Jess, thank you so much for sharing. So many messages. Your home's claim to fame. That's a bit posh.

Well, this is a bad claim to fame. My partner was moving into an apartment and saw that it was $100 cheaper than all the others in the building. It was newly renovated and he was like what's going on? Did someone get murdered? And the real estate agent was like, actually now that you've asked I am legally required to tell you. You have to disclose it. I wasn't going to discuss this. I wasn't going to, but yes, someone

was murdered here. The house from Sex Ed, the one that Gillian Anderson lives in, Otis and his mum, that's for sale. And we want to know if your house has any reputation. Claim to fame, I guess. Claim to fame, yeah. Good or bad, so I'm murdered there. A few dads have messaged me saying, send me a link to this place, I want to pull it apart too.

No. So that's what we do. We tell you why it would be a poor idea to buy it just let us have our vision so we want to know your house's claim

to fame are we also on Instagram some responses we used to own the Ardern's house in Morrinsville it was our first home

oh my gosh oh yeah that's I know where that one was yep used to what you hit golf balls at it

accidentally I'm just bad at golf but it was by the golf course. So if you sliced on the 10th, yep. If you sliced on the 10th, it would go on Ardern's lawn.

Yeah, right. And I'm a big slicer. Never hooked, not a day in my life on the course. Yeah, what's it,

big slicer. What's it, um, course, just out of Taupo, I hit some on a state highway. The hooker? Yeah,

it's right by a state highway and I, Hooker Lodge, is it by the Hooker Lodge? Yeah, it's right by a state highway. Hooker Lodge? No, maybe it's by there. Terrible place for a golf course because they keep going on the road. I was like, well, this is all my fault. There's a road there. Yeah.

There's one. Terrible at golf. Yeah, there's lots of golf courses right by busy roads. It's funny. I like when they put a golf course at the end of a runway. Like, that's not a problem waiting to happen.

Like the one at the... Nelson? Airbase. Yep. There the one at the Fidel Pai Airbase. Yep. This one right beside it. I've got to say I don't really think about golf or do golf. I mean I was hitting things

with the golf club. That's my only claim to golf. I'm sorry for bringing it up. This should have come with a trouble warning. I honestly deeply believe it whacked my face pretty. It wasn't a cute kid.

Someone said, we lived in a house where President Eisenhower lived whenever he was in the UK on official government business. This one lacks fine details.

We lived in a house in London where that short blonde spider girl, Spider-Man girl lived. Emma Stone? Is it Emma Stone? I think so

because she lived in London when she was dating Andrew Garfield. Yeah, right. She met on the set of... Short Blonde or Kirsten Dunst. Yeah, it could be either. She was Mary Jane. She had orange hair.

Should we go on to Spider-Man? No, absolutely not. That was an absolute trap that I just wandered into there. Yeah, you did. You absolutely did. I like this one. My Nana's house used to be an orphanage. Yeah, you did. It was, wasn't it? I like this one.

My Nana's house used to be an orphanage. It's not our orphanage, is it? No, stop it. I told you. Why did you sell the orphanage? I told you. Did they have blankets in their orphanage? It's so close to 50% Christmas penetration. The Christmas orphans are banned from here. The Christmas orphans are banned from here.

The Christmas orphans are banned from the show. All I'm saying is it's about to take over 50% Christmas penetration. And that's when they defrost. You might. We're going to defrost them. But we're freezing because we got kicked out of our original orphanage. Yeah, we're always so cold they cry. Ginny froze us.

We were the perfect specimens to teach Mr Fletcher just to cuddle to keep me warm. We're used to being so cold. That is our show today. No, I've got more. Okay. No, I don't. My mother-in-law brought Richie McCaw's home. Oh, okay.

That'd be nice. People come and buy her a kiss the Blarney Stone to get a bit of that rugby look. Kiss the front door. Kiss the front door. Of Richie McCaw's house. Kiss the front mat. Yeah. I don Richie McCaw's house Kiss the front mat Yeah
