Secret Sound, $30,000. Lovely. Coming up at 7 and 8 o'clock this morning That would be a really nice little Tuesday treat, wouldn't it? It would be a nice amount of money. God, yeah. The top six born.

Yes, Christopher Luxon would like to see house prices rise. Would? Wouldn't we all? Wouldn't we all? Unless you're trying to buy one, unless you're trying to buy one, then you wouldn't.

But not everybody does, of course. I've got the top six other things Christopher Luxem would like to see rise. Say Shannon's one. She made a suggestion for the top six. Shannon said my penis. This is absolutely outrageous. 5.46 this morning.

Shannon said, Shannon, you know, our producer. Sweet angel, innocent, innocent young thing. We may have corrupted her over time. I was aghast. Because I said there's going to be the top six things Christopher Luxem would like to see rise and she said, your penis. I said. Shannon?

Excuse me. Shannon, unbelievable. What do you have to say for yourself? You know when you accidentally make a your mum joke and you're just like, why did I say that? It was one of those moments where I was just like, just slipped out. Just slipped out. All right. Sorry, Chris, Luxey.

Take that. Apologies to Christopher. Well, speaking of penis. Yes. I've got great news as winter lurks and carries on, keeping us cold every morning. Summer, surely just around the corner and that's great news if you have a penis. This is a bizarre story that you've pitched, Haley. I'll tell you all about it next.

Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. This tickles me so much. How long have we got till summer is officially here? Well, we've got to be spring. Well, it's daffod all day on Friday, so that'll be spring. Spring next month, like the end of the week. September, October, November. Yeah, December.

So getting warmer. Yeah. And so much to look forward to with the warmth, you know. Sunny days on the deck, beaches, you know, more social occasions, concerts are back, outdoor concerts, music in the park, and also summer penis. Okay. which has been deeply discussed online, not only by anecdotal accounts from penis owners themselves.

Claiming that every summer they notice a great increase to the size of their schlong. A great increase? A great increase. But some urologists and sex experts have also chimed in on the debate as to whether or not a summer penis is a thing. Well, I mean, it's certainly in winter, it's hard in a way, is it? But you get a bit of shrinkage.

She's hiding in a way. But that would be sort of an immediate response to just being outside, right? Or being... Just a warmer climate? Warmer climate, kind of. So here are some theories. A lot of people noting that their willies are bigger in the summer. Okay.

Something to look forward to. Right. Not the size matters, but, you know. It counts for something, though. It doesn't... It's a factor. Yeah. It's a thing.

So a lot of people suggesting that perhaps, you know, in the heat of summer, I find that my fingers swell a lot, a lot of swelling. No, do that? When I get hot, my fingers swell quite a bit. Do they? What, like sausage fingers? Yeah, sausage fingers. Oh, King Charles over here. Oh, King Charlesies. My rings

definitely tighter in the summer than they are. Oh, okay. My rings are, sorry, just to clarify, my rings are tighter in the summer. So people were like, is it just that, that the heat is sort of making us swell. Some experts to saying the reason that a penis may appear to be larger in the summer

could be because... Hay fever. No. Penis gets a little hay fever. Not sneezing. That because in the summer we're more active and therefore generating more blood flow, the blood flow with everywhere. No, but we've talked about this exercise penis, haven't we?

Years ago. What's exercise penis? It's like a turtle pulling back into the shell. Oh, no! Yeah, during extreme... cardio exercise. Right. It kind of tucks itself away.

And I think it might be a survival thing because you don't have that, you can't have it, wagling around. You're running from a lion. Exactly. If we go back to our ancestors in the heart of creation in Africa, when we were running from a lion, you can't have a huge whang. But then you say that, but then sometimes at the Olympics, they get excited.

They get excited. You see some hogs because they have no sex in the Olympic Village. Yeah. They're really the pop. Well, there was one, you know, urologist who was initially skeptical about summer penis when it came across his desk as a term. Then he said, well, actually warmth relaxes blood vessels, increasing blood flow and size to the penis. It could be quite spot on here.

And in general, in winter, we have bad a habit, we have badder, worse habits, we're sitting inside, we're eating maybe more comfort foods, our general health is down. Whereas summer, we're out and about, we're getting blood flowing through the body. And so actually, even though, and I will quote here, no scientific studies confirmed, that summer penis is actually a phenomenon as claimed to be with the heat testicles tend to hang lower

everything sort of pulls down we've got a bit more length to the guy summer penis right okay well it's something to look forward to yeah they're calling it a peempocholips that if summer penis is real what are we going to do with climate change

can I ask where do you find these articles don't worry about it medical journals you want to see how the sausages made I don't know I don't know if I want to be yeah exactly yeah Okay. Play ZM's Flash Vaughan and Haley. Now when it comes to temperatures in the workplace...

Oh, don't even get us started. It's a big argument. And I feel like there's always a gender divide in the argument as well. Yeah. Women run hot. We're constantly hormonally fluctuating. But I love a cold studio. And especially when you're like trying to give energy.

You've got to keep nice and frost. You've got to be awake, right? Yeah, it's the way I look at it. Nothing was in a hot office, like a corporate space sitting at a desk. I'd fall asleep. Yeah, horrible. Well, there are always these arguments over the temperature in a workplace. And I thought maybe I've found a way for people that run cold to earn a bit of money.

Okay, a bit of money here. What does it put on a jacket? I don't think we have the same law in New Zealand because in the UK, a cheesecake cafe worker has won $40,000 New Zealand dollars. She's had a payout after complaining. that she had to work with the cafe door open in winter. Okay. Because of the cheesecakes.

And so the boss, well, no, the boss was like, if you have the doors shut, the customers think we're closed, so won't come in. That's fair. So they wanted to leave the doors open. So she complained, they had a workplace WhatsApp group.

She complained, and then suddenly her hours were cut. And then she was let go. Yeah, yeah. So that's why she was awarded because they were like, well, just quietly try to get rid of her. So they, apparently,

the cafe dropped at, 12 degrees. That's cold, eh, for an insight, for a cafe. 12 degrees Celsius. Yeah. Oh, I crave it. I'd really thrive in a 12th grade. Yeah, but sometimes it wasn't windy. So apparently, she said three, she wore three layers in a thermal vest to say warm.

And they were told that staff could not use an electric heater. Do you remember, Vaughn, when we had a TV show on TV called Have You Been Paying Attention? Yep, a little bit. The good old days. Was that the one that you effectively? single-handedly got cancelled. Single-handedly got cancelled by getting drunk and mouthing off at the commissioner. That's the one.

Yeah, I remember that part. I remember that. Take that. So, I used to always wear these suits, like these polyester suits, and they run so hot under studio light. So I used to ask for the studio to be so cold that all the camera people were in, like, puffers and gloves and beanie. And I think they kept to, like, complaining and being like, it's too cold in here.

Also, probably why it was cancelled. The air-condition bill was just insane. This is an AI overview, but it says that New Zealand law doesn't set legal minimum or maximum workplace temperatures, whereas in the UK it does. Right. Apparently. Because I know it gets to a certain temperature right, and kids can't go to school. But we sit in this like Goldilocks zone of it never gets cold enough and never gets hot enough. It's just unpleasant.

I mean, I guess because it does get a lot colder in the UK, but in the UK, health and safety guidance, excuse me, says that temperature should be a minimum of 16 degrees. Minimum 16 Yeah Oh no So I don't know If you're gonna get any money Out of your boss If you complain about the temperature

In New Zealand and get fired We keep threatening our bosses To work shirtless Which for you guys would be all right But it'll be a lot from me You know what I mean Because our studio gets quite hot in the morning So we have a lot of windows

And a lot of people walking past us Oh well Get in the listeners They want more listeners Here we go Play ZM's Fletch Forne and Haley Look, everyone's trying to get more protein in their diet.

Do you know what I have for breakfast this morning? One of those little, like, baby protein yogurt pouches. A little sucky pouch. Like a little sucky pouch. Yum. And a protein bar. No time. No time, but protein.

That was the thing that I was trying to focus on. And then a while back, everyone was like cottage cheese. Oh, God. We've got to eat cottage cheese. Everybody going crazy for cottage cheese. And one of the recipes for cottage cheese that everyone was going mad about was this cottage cheese bread that they'd, they were making.

Right. Yuck. A bread. How do you make that into a bread? What about that bread I saw? The person making ficasha, but when they put the water in, they make it chicken stock. Okay, I'm sorry, that's next level. Okay, I'm bad.

Well, this is, for me, okay, fine. Make your cottage cheese bread if it makes feel good. This, for me, is the step too far. Okay. And I've got to preface it by saying I'm not a fan of tuna in general. Like, I don't... I'm not a tuna guy. I'm the same, like out of a can.

It's dry, yuck. it's like cat food um wait but are we talking like a steak a turn to steak oh my god when you go to it like i've had it forced upon me at a restaurant and i was like oh my god this is amazing no when it's cooked properly i'm so pleased you're opening up about your hardships yeah he had had it forced to get at a restaurant i had it forced to get at a restaurant by the sounds of it five star restaurant yeah it feels like it's one of those everyone was sharing plates and i was like oh my god haley he had to go to tip off Oh, he'd tap up.

Well, they do things a little differently there. He did things like, he just wanted a meal. I just wanted a butter chicken. People say, one of my plain... One of my plain meals. I know. And I was forced to have it. So, okay.

How did the tuna work? Tell me more about the dish. It just slices. But it was like so amazing. It doesn't even taste like fish. No. Like tuna steak. I just can't.

I think because... It's more like a, it's more like it just feels like a red meat of something. No, I think because it's so famous, it's made so famous by the tin. Yeah, I'm out, you know. Okay, so I'm talking about tinned tuna, which Jim Bras have long been a fan of. Now they're making two-minute tuna bread. Okay. Two-minute bread.

Two-minute bread. Two-minute bread. Oh, in an air fryer. Sorry, I'm going to struggle through this. So what you do is you get a tinder, tuna, and you drain it. You drain out the, what do they put it in? Brine. Brine.

Or you can get oil or you can get flas. Put it in a mug. Then you're going to crack an egg and go into that. So far, it's good protein. We've got protein on protein at this point. Moolie it up. We're mooling.

We're mooling. We're mooling. We're going to hit that in the microwave for two minutes. Then you sort of... Excuse me? Then you sort of thumbing it out like a sponge. Ew. I'll say some sort of tuna frittata-looking arreendous.

That's the face porn. Agree. And they're calling there. cheese in there? No, no cheese. No cheese. That's scrambled eggs. That's like an overcooked omelet. Yeah, so you're making a tuna omelet in the microwave. Just the one egg?

But they're saying it's bred because once you sort of cut it open, it's got a sort of sponge-like texture. Yeah. And then you could put your toppings on it like a salad. That's disgusting. Or something. Yeah. I mean high in protein. There's powder's for that though.

They're delicious. You know what? That would probably be a good workplace. lunch. Nope, I don't reckon it would be. I don't reckon it would stink. You can make it in the work microwave. Yeah, they'll love you.

Protein at lunch. It literally makes my spine crawl looking at this tuna protein bread. Yuck. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the

Top Sex. The Prime Minister of Old Turoa has said he would like to see modest and consistent house price increases. Now you might be thinking wait a minute. That feels like someone's pulling the ladder up behind them. House prices

have remained stuck despite lower interest rates giving first home buyers a win but leaving property owners gnashing their teeth reads this article. The Reserve Banks cut the cash rate again. It's a three year low of 3%. Great news. But house prices haven't popped up because

despite it, people don't have any money. No. And you could I would argue they were incredibly overpriced to begin with. Very much so. Some said a bubble, but it didn't burst. It just got a balloon and it got to a certain point. Then it just stayed like that. Well, that's not the only thing Christopher Luxon wants to see rise.

I've got the top six other things that also he said in that interview that he wants to see rise. Number six on the list of the top six other things, Luxon wants to see rise, his sourdough. Oh, he's a big sourdough guy. Doesn't it look a sourdough guy? He loves, he loves. He's got a starter? He gives me thin sandwich Mollenberg. He is a thin, no, he gives me thin white bread.

Yeah, he toasts with the crusts off. Sandwich bread? Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah, he toast, yeah, thin sandwich bread. As an austerity measure. Yeah. Because you get more slices out of a bag of sandwich versus toast.

And you just toast it for less time and it's just thin toast. It's thin toast. Yeah. The man eats thin toast. I'm telling you. He does have thin toast energy. Yeah. Say what you will about his politics.

I'll take myself out of that conversation. But the man eats thin toast. Number five on the list of the top six other things Luxon wants to see rise. Not the peasants. Not the peasants. He does not want to see them rising. In any way. It's a mouthpiece of the left over here.

An uprising or rising through the ranks. Peasants need to stay peasants. We're going to have peasants be peasants. For this system to work, peasants need to be peasanting. Number four on the list of the top six other things Luxem wants to see Rise are 20203's Transformers sequel Rise of the Beasts. Nobody wants that. He really wants to see that.

Rise of the Beasts. How much the money did that make? They keep making Transformers movies. I assume they're making money. I don't think they are. What movie did I see the other day made a billion dollars? And I was like, you've got to be kidding me. Really?

I made a billion dollars. You're cutting my. Number three on the list of the top second. Other things, Luxem wants to see rise. Not the minimum wage. Well, that's already risen enough. What, do you want it to keep up with inflation or something? Don't stupid.

It'd be nice. Number two on the list of the... Because you earn minimum wage, of course. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. I'd just think it would be nice with those on minimum wage. That had a real...

Wouldn't it be nice, self-reflective minute. It did. It did. Number two on the list of the top six are other things Luxon wants to see rise. People's spirit. Why is everyone so glum? I'm looking at you nurses and teachers. God, you just turn that frown upside down.

Are you saying give us a smile? Yeah, give us a smile. Right. How lucky are you to have a job? Raise those spirits. And number one on the list of the top six things, Luxon wants to see rise. The sun.

Great start to the day. I would put the scene, the sun rises a greater start to the day than not having blood in your stool. Which I always say, it's a good day if you don't have blood in your stool. It is a good day when you don't have blood in your stool. How often you're concerned about

that. I've got a hemroy that every now and then will... Oh, Jesus, Lord. Right up. Sorry to share. Can you get those gagged? Oh, no, it's an internal. Yeah, I've got some proscictal. It's a thing you've put up your bum and you squeeze it and the gel

kind of tells me of the other things. That's really good for under eyes. Is it? Yeah, it's like a beauty secret. Hemroy cream under the eyes. Reduces the swelling. Long, like long used by women. It's just that the app Okay, it's been at my ass.

You don't go straight from the anus to the eye. Give it a wash. Just go eye to anus. Don't borrow what I would have borne. I would go eye to anus. I wouldn't go anus to eye. I'd buy your own tube, to be honest. That's how you ended up with a urinary tract infection if you go to ass to eye.

You don't want to get your tubes, you know, confused. That is today's. I'm out there. I'm just speaking up for men's health. Don't be ashamed if you got a hemorrhoon. Go get some preceptole or whatever it is. From show sponsor, chemist, warehouse. That's where I got my last tube.

Just always remember high anus. Did you pick it up at the golf day the other day, the tube? No, no, no, no. I actually picked it up when I was in New Plymouth with my mother for Mother's Day. I said, I don't want to panic anybody, but I've got to go to the chemist. Okay, yeah. Again, I feel like, you know what to know much. Sometimes I feel in the mood for sharing.

Okay, yeah. Shout out to everybody who occasionally gets a hemorrhoid. And thanks, is it a hemroid or am I dying? That is today's top six. Now, ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. Now, there were some executives. Seven people, seven men have been fired from a waste water management center in the United Kingdom. Give me five.

Give me five. I'll actually take one of those as well. You know what? That's crazy. That's really shit. He's done it again. Give me another five. Come on.

Come on. He's funny, man. He's he's got it. All good things come to three. Yeah, I'm waiting for the next. I'm waiting for the, I'm waiting for the, you know, the return of the Jedi of this trilogy of jokes here. Don't Ewok.

The workplace is going down the crapper. Oh, give me five. Give me five. Give me five. There he is. International Comedy Festival, 26. Yeah. Carpet of Fletcher on stage. Yeah. So seven men have been fired from this Waste Water Management Centre in the UK

after their WhatsApp group was unearthed. Oh no. Oh, wait. Wait, wait, wait. WhatsApp groups can be unearthed. Yeah. Tell me more on how to avoid that. So, apparently... I think we do what we do and it disappears after 24 hours.

Yeah, well, these numbskulls did not have that on. And, excuse me, within the group, there was a whistleblower who alerted... A whistleblower. HR to some of the downright piss poor behaviour. Yeah, piss poor. Yeah, my boys. Up top. So in this chat

It was a lot of problematic stuff And you know Who are we to throw stones Within Glass Houses About WhatsApp groups However Some of it was very derogatory Towards their female staff

No that's an area we don't enter We don't No we don't enter that We don't So in this There was sort of some references To XYZ However one thing

That upset a lot of female staff is how they rated them out of 10. Oh, wow. Okay, we don't be doing that. Yeah, I think we should, you know, just be honest with it. No, I like to do a scale of five. You're dead right. Rating people out of 10 lose too much wiggle room.

I like to rat my woman out of five. God, but it really like chunks, isn't it, when it's just five? So someone in this WhatsApp group in this workplace was like, okay, I've got to take screenshots of this and show it around work because this is unacceptable. Alerted the company to the offensive messages, and then a disciplinary investigation was launched. Was this because they got a five or a six?

And they think they're an eight? You wouldn't blow the whistle if they were like, she's a ten. You'd be like, hey, I'm all here for this chat. Thank you. Of course I'm a ten. What would it take for you to blow the whistle? Six and below. Because you've said quite openly.

You're a seven point two. You're a seven point two. I'm being realistic. I'm attractive, but I'm not going to blow your face away. Do you know what I mean? Blow your face away. Yeah, like you're not going to look at your socks off. Yeah, blow your socks off.

Or blow your mind. I've never heard blow your face away. No. That sounds like a shotgun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A nine is a shotgun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a 7.2.

I know this to my core. Okay. I've been that for most of my life. Yep. I've, man, I've dipped a toe at 8. And I've dropped down to a 6. But 7.2 is where I sort of balance out. Fluctuating there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I would never play this game. It's very dangerous. Oh, I've already got your numbers in my head. this is quite unbelievable I mean and Vaughan have already discussed you and then me and Fletch have already discussed Vaughan

don't do you acting silly and you guys have agreed right 7.2 I like how you didn't mention Carl and or Shannon because you know that they would never they would never they would just never what our 10 producers 10 out of 10

out of 10 producers I did just see someone texting you know the ugly one complained yeah oh Shannon that's the second terrible thing you've said out loud today. No, I parroted that out loud. Well, that doesn't actually make it any...

That's worse. That's worse. You saw something you said bad and you were like, oh, I shouldn't say that. And then you did. Yeah, the penis thing was too far. I'll have been there. Yeah, it was. Look, we're all drifting around high sevens. Well, just remember, don't say that out loud or put it in the WhatsApp chat, I think, is the lesson here?

Yeah, and also, guys, there's this great feature on WhatsApp. app. It's called Disappearing Messages. After 24 hours, they're gone. Gone. Surely someone's got, Mark Zuckerberg's still got them though, right? Yeah, but Mark. What? Old Four. Old Four Zuckerberg. And that's being generous. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.

Fletchport and Haley. Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole. Do you kiss your pet? This was because there's a

Geordy Shore star Vicky Patton Patterson, I think, is her name. She had a video and it's her dog and she's like, ah, opens her gob and the dog's like, Lollah, la, la, la. That's the worst. Tone in your dog. Yuck.

Yeah, that's yuck. Like when you're, like, Like, if a dog kisses you, you, like, purse your lips and it, ugh, yucky. Yeah, and if they lick your face, you're like, get away. It's gross. But I kiss Raleigh right on the punum, but he doesn't like lick. Well, you kiss it on the mouth.

Yeah, sometimes. If he lets me, but he'll turn away. They eat their, you know, they lick their bum bum bum. They lick their bum bum's claim. Yeah. Well, don't be jealous. You would if you could. So we asked you to kiss your pet.

Yeah. You do? You don't kiss your chickens? No. I say, Job, well done. Oh, one of them laid a fairy egg yesterday. What's a fairy egg? Like, there's some sort of misfiring in the chicken

That's no cholesterol. That's a bra egg. But I wouldn't know. I'm not going to come. kiss the chickens either. Do you kiss your pet? Overwhelmingly people said yes, so let's hear what they've got to say for themselves. Yes, on the mouth, but he knows no tongue from Hannah. Okay, good. It's good when your dog knows you're, your boundaries.

We're not doing that. Yeah, we're not kissing with tongue. Fido. Why is Fido such a, why was Fido a dog name back in the day, but no one calls their dog Fido anymore? I've never met a kid called Fido. Fido Dido, the old seven-up mask. Well, there's a lot of stuff. ratling around here. I can't even remember what I did yesterday, but... It was

Abraham Lincoln's dog's name. Oh, okay. So that's why... Why did he call his dog photo? It was the first presidential pet to be photographed. Wow. And it was an Italian dog who became a public symbol of loyalty during World War II. Abraham Lincoln wasn't alive in World War II.

I know, yeah, I don't know. I don't... This is AI overview, so I think there's some gaps in the history there. The Latin verb, Fido, meaning to trust or to have faith. Also, it's the same as infidelity comes from that because the related word for Dallas means faithful and infidelity is being unfaithful.

So dogs are always very faithful. Yeah, he named his dog Fido because the faithful one. And so that was why it became the generic dog name because... Right. Yeah. Good. Man, we just learning. We're learning.

What is this? Fact of the day? Day day. Nicola said, He's just so bloody cute, a real-life German shepherd. So he's... Okay, there's no need to rub it in that you've got a real life one. She's tongue in one.

Yeah, we've got a broken ceramic one. Wow. Um, uh-oh, on the weirdo that open mouth kisses their dog, says Jane. Uh, it must have been in a small percentage. Well, that's how Jane's going to be the first one to die in a, you know, a plague. A bacterial player. Or she's going to be immune. Yes, because she kisses their dog in the mouth.

Yeah, and she's got worms. She got worms from the dog, and it turns out worms are the thing that stops you. The antedodod. The antidote. A parasitic worm. Yop. And then everyone's like, give me your worms. Yeah. Kiss me.

Kiss me on the bum. Yeah. That's not very good. Yeah. Yeah, that's not going to take off in a TV series or a movie, is it? No. The only way to cure it is to kiss each other on the bum. And millennials and Gen Zare like, yuck.

Yeah, done. Okay, sure. And all the boomers are like, I won't. I'd rather die. And we're all just like, uh, we're all just like, uh, we're, Would you? Come on, man. That's 20-25.

Neve says, little kitty cats did a mouth kiss too. They are cutie-cudies. They are cutie-cuties. Julianne, Martha loves being told she's loved with a kiss. Oh, Martha. Carlina says, no, because I've seen one literally lick its own ass. Yeah. Yep, that's what they do.

That'll put you off. Kate says, the dogs, no. The cat's sweet little head? Yes, needs a little kiss-kiss. Earl said, my dog died at the start of the year, and I don't want to talk about it. Fair enough. I'm with you, Earl. I've lost a dog, a couple of cats

Rachel said, yes, but she's 12 weeks old. She's just a baby. But yesterday, I thought she'd chat in the dining room, but no, not her poop.

She bought cat shit inside, and she was munging it back. So seriously reconsidering it. Munging it back. I can't be having that language. Thank you. You're back. Please don't use that. Well, so little poll, we asked you,

Oh, God, no, of course not. We always end up having a blow out. No. The night before the wedding. I'll tell you what. It was surprising to find a can of, was it, DB or Lion Red or something in my head? hand at one point you had a couple of cans of something

you had a couple of light Leon Rouge as we call it the night before the wedding just a couple of quiet ones you're doing it with a Leo Rouge anyway well we are in the mood for a wedding but there's none on the horizon for us but here's an idea that has gone viral online that a lot of

people are doing one woman took it to the point where she laminated it it's a single sheet where she has printed out all the sort of of headshots, shall we say, of the single attendees of the wedding on a single ready to mingle spreadsheet of sorts. Now were all the singles on board?

I can imagine there'd be a few that would like this, but not everybody. Yeah, like if somebody said, do you want to put, do you want me to put you on the single to mingle thing about, absolutely not? Yeah, I don't know if it was run past the guests. It was a masterpiece listing, all the single guests, complete with headshots, circulated like a wine list. Shots, no. So it goes out, like, with the menu.

Meant to be fun, she swears everyone was okay with it. There you go. Okay. Some guests were laughing. The internet did not. They were like, this is just disgusting. Like, how embarrassing for them. They're already sat at their own table.

Yeah. They're already been told they can't bring a plus bloody one, so they're all alone anyway. Probably, yeah. And now here they are being circulated like a bloody, you know, like a meat market. Like some kind of wedding night. entertainment. But I'm just kind of like, how else do you know, you know? I mean, let's be honest, a lot of people do get excited for a wedding because, yeah, there could be the opportunity to meet someone. Yeah, totally. Meeting through mutual friends. I mean, how often are you getting

together with your mates as an adult anymore, you know, and meeting new people? It's a great place to hook up. And then instead of having the awkwardness of like, oh God, where's their partner looking around? Yep. You refer to the sheet, the menu, the singles menu. What if somebody wants to hook up with you, but they're not on the sheet. Oh my God, you're getting hit on and you refer to your sheet. You're like, he is not on there. How interesting. How interesting.

Who do you belong to? Bit of wedding scandal, bit of drama. Yeah. No, I'd hate to be, I think I'd hate to be put on the sheet. Yeah. I'm very good at mingling in a natural way. Yeah. Not on a sort of...

But you don't want to be forced. Menu of sorts. It seems very forced. Yeah. Would you fletch? You'd you go on the menu? No. No.

I guess none of us were on the menu. Well, what if you put yourself on the menu and you were the dish that didn't get ordered? That's always... So once the menu's been... That snack's been eaten up, gets crossed off the menu. Yeah. And the menu keeps getting passed around,

with names getting crossed on. Oh, no. Yeah, see that. It's like being picked for sports. Oh, yeah. Ouch. Oh, and then sort of, it's just... It's just Jane left on the menu.

And you kind of just have to because you've got to form the teams. Yeah, there's like just one... There's just two left on the menu. Looks like you guys are. eating together. Yeah, don't make me news of your friends. No. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.

Oh dear. Listen to this. Okay. My aunt owns a lovely ranch in Spain. Oh. And 15 years ago, I arranged to spend a week there with my friend Bridget. Friend holiday. Yeah. What could go wrong?

We'd work together for years. Always had a good laugh. Got on like a house on fire, so no problem. We flew in, got a bus. while we're on the bus Bridget starts chatting to a group of three lads Uh oh Bridget on the brow

They were a little bit boozed And so this person Who's telling the story was like Hi and then just kept reading the book You know we're going on holiday But when they got off the bus The guys were sort of following along with her friend And then the person was like

Where are you guys staying He was like oh with you So the friend invites these Boozed Spanish locals back to the house. They have a huge party. The friend wakes up in the morning is like, what are we going to do today?

But Bridget has not woken up because she's with the three men. All four of them. Yeah. Having just been in Spain, I can completely understand how this could happen. Absolutely. So basically, they just go off

in this split holiday, even though they were supposed to do it together. Yeah. A week later, the woman who had booked the trip, whose house it was, was like, we've got to go, changes her flights to leave early. It was just like, well, this was nothing like what we'd plan to do. And when she gets home, her aunt is like there's quite a bit of stuff missing from the house. Tows, bedding, a pitcher.

She thinks that the friend must have stolen them, but of course it was these guys. The whole thing just turned to absolute crap. And this was 15 years ago, and they haven't spoken since. Wow. Really? Okay. So why is it surfaced now? It was just a whole threat of people sharing stories of two years ago. I took a trip to France with my sister-brother-in-law and blah, blah, blah, blah.

Took our kids, the kids fought like anything. And then the parents started fighting and be like, don't you talk to my son like that. No, that's not his problem. Your daughter did that. Big roll of the dice going with another family when the kids aren't already a really good friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Forced to sleep on pull-out bunks. Just everyone's cheering when they've planned a friend holiday

and it's just turned sour and kind of ruin the friendship. This is exactly what we want to do now is share those stories. Yes, from you, our lovely listeners. When did the friendship holiday go wrong? What happened? And did you manage to repair it?

It's always a big leap to go on a big holiday with someone you're not that friendly with yet. Yeah, or you just haven't spent enough time together. Yeah, like have you done a few weekends around New Zealand before you just do this, you know, five-week Europe trip? Yes, exactly. Do you know that you're even going to stand each other for that long? Yeah.

And you come back and you're like, oh, I don't want to be your friend, let alone go on holiday with you again. It can be make or break for couples as well. Yeah, absolutely. You see couples fighting all the time on holiday. Or you could just be with a completely mismatched person. Yeah. Someone that doesn't like getting up in the morning. I don't know.

What do you want to do today? Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Someone like that. And you're like, well, let's go, let's go. Sleeping in. Okay. Oh, 800 dials at Amazon number.

Give us a call. Now you can text her as well. 9696. When did the friend holiday turn to absolute crap? Right now we want to know when did your friend holiday go a wall or go badly because a lot of people sharing online they went on holiday with their friends and then they never spoke to them again because it was so mismatched and not good.

Like, you know, bringing home three Spanish men and they're not spending any time. Not even bringing them home sort of like finding them on a bus and inviting them back. To your auntie's house as well. You're like to stay there. Kind of like just, I guess, leaving a friend. Yeah, ditching them. Ditching them?

I'd hate to be ditched overseas. I mean, some people, like, don't like to do things by themselves. They're not very independent travelers. So, like, they don't want to go out exploring if the other person's not there. Whereas I'd be happy to be like, oh, just meet your lunchtime. I'll go check out a museum if you don't want to go to it. Yeah, totally. We're easy.

We're easy. Ooh. Okay, some messages in. Some goodies. This one. We went on a couple's holiday to Fiji with our 18 months old and then nine months. our kid was a runner and whenever we went to eat or do anything he'd just run away their nine months old couldn't walk obviously and whenever our son would run away they'd turn

to their son and say aren't you such a good boy sitting there eating your dinner such a good boy oh the holiday was a little tense we're still friends now but we can laugh about it my husband and I as their second child is an absolute bloody nightmare he's not going to run he's a swinger and a climber okay great just I don't know just you don't go on holiday with yeah kids no I I wouldn't go on holiday with someone else's kids. No. No.

I went to Europe for five weeks with my bestie of 15 years last year, have done everything to avoid seeing her since we got home. Oh, God. Why? A bestie. We need details. Because you'd think if you're a best, you were besties for that long, you would have done like weekends away.

Yeah, and just sort of forgive. But weekends away are different to five weeks. Yeah, true. In each other's face. Yeah. But you'd know surely if you got sick of that person, right? Yeah. Wouldn't you?

Yeah. God. Went on holiday with a friend at the time. She was my best friend, but we actually hadn't been away with her before. And it was on this holiday that we found out she treats workers like hospitality workers and restaurant workers so, so terribly. She was such a Karen. It was awfully embarrassing.

I couldn't believe she could act like this. She didn't know it, but it altered our friendship a lot after that, and we wouldn't go out with her. Wow. Okay. Ended up in a massive drunken fight after a night out in Greece. She changed her flight and went home without telling me. leaving me with the entire hotel bill. We haven't spoken since.

Went home without telling you. No, you can't just leave someone with the bill. No, God, no. Went home early on a night out when we were away on holiday, and my friend had the audacity to hook up with my boyfriend. It all came out the next morning, and none of us have spoken since. Wait, what?

So they obviously broke up, and then, oh, I'm like, wow, okay. Oh, no, I suppose as well, yeah, with travel, It's like there's high money investment. There's often a lot of booze. You know, there's that celebratory element. And expectations as well. Expectations, yeah. Yeah.

We did a couple's family weekend away. Local, didn't go overseas. Everything was fine until my friend's Brady Kid kept interrupting and wanted to join in the adult conversation. The mom would stop talking to us adults and make us stop talking and talk to this. This drives me crazy. Dries to the seven-year-old Brad.

I'd had enough of it. as I was brought up differently. So when she started talking to the adults, again, I completely ignored her, and that's when the argument started. I told her she's better off talking to her kid. There was a divide that weekend. Oh, it's so awkward. It's so awkward.

I love these stories. Our friend group's been close since high school. We're all in our 30s and holiday together every year, but we all have kids, but one mom has the most annoying kids on the plane. Every morning she'll wake up. On the planet, not the plane. On the planet. She put plane space tea.

Yeah. Okay. The plane tea. The plan, every morning she'll wake up and go for a three-hour run and just let them run wild with us to babysit. Like she's the only one on holiday. Every year it makes me furious. At least lock them in a room somewhere or something.

Can you do that? Yeah, some chippies in a lighter. Okay, yeah. Went away with two gay best friends. Two days into our trip in Ozzy. Didn't see them for 48 hours. They got booze and ended up joining a massive group adult fun time. Yep, that sounds like the gays.

They also douse themselves in Dior Savage. cologne. That smell still gives me PTSD of the time I didn't see my gay friends because they were a little bit of a whole weekend together. We're just so much fun and they're like, bye. Went to Brisbane with my best friend. She needed a holiday after a terrible breakup. We went out clubbing. She found a new fling and they were obsessed with each other. She ended up spending the rest of our holiday with her new

girlfriend. Lesbians. Oh, well, they must have moved on that weekend. She moved on with her. So I went and booked a different hotel. We're still friends, but now I know what kind of friend she is. Yeah. Yeah. Especially like she's doing that for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going away together for the first time soon, the three of us. We've been away, but not on a proper holiday. We go away for work all the time. You go away for work. Yeah, but not an actual holiday. We actually haven't holiday together with like no work or

I thought we have a couple a couple of big nights. Take it easy of it. A couple of big nights.

When she jumped on her scales at home. Now, she has smart scales, which I have as well, where you can create a profile. and it will, when you weigh yourself, it'll kind of store it as memory under a profile. So I guess if you're tracking weight, you'll be able to see or last time it was this and this time it was this or whatever.

Do they tell you more than just your weight, these smart scales? Yeah, they got a bit on there. But she jumps on and she saw in the digital thing, like in the number, previous weigh-in was 120 pounds. Right.

Whatever that is in KGs. you looking at up 120 pounds yeah 54.4 KGs we've got a petite woman in her hands okay yeah so she sees this previous

log in 120 pounds and she's like I don't weigh 120 pounds and my husband sure is hell doesn't weigh 120 pounds she goes into the unassigned weigh-ins and sees that at 1215 a.m.

and 12.26 a.m. back to back someone's weighed in at 120 pounds on a date where I wasn't even home I was away for work Oh my God How crazy is this Oh no

Right But he has dipped a toe in the world of infidelity before. So she weighed herself at quarter past 12. And then again at... 1226. Oh no, I've done this. Was that like eight minutes of lovemaking? And she's like, did I lose any weight doing that?

How did you discover that they were cheating on you? Yes. And maybe it was just something so out of the blue rather than just seeing a message pop up on their phone and that's sort of, you know, an obvious way to catch someone. Maybe it was something just a little bit more like, hang on a moment. Or maybe it was just really obvious

because some people are just, I don't know that. People are done. Or they just like, they're so brazen or they cheat so much, they just think they're getting away with it. Yeah, I know, exactly. Okay, 0,800 dials at M. Give us a call now. I'd love to hear your stories.

What?

Then-girlfriend, later to be wife, is how that message started. So even after this dirty weekend, can I just get it? Confirmation for engaged? Were they engaged to be married?

and I found out when I saw a notification for an app called Kick come up on the tablet that was synced to his phone. I checked out the content, and when I hit him up about it, he said, but you don't actually know if that's a real girl, as his defense. Oh, great defense, homing. He's got you there. He's got you there. I might actually be sending my nudes to a man

and he's just finding nudes of a girl to send back to me and he's getting off from the fact that he's tricking me and seeing me naked. Yeah. What do you say to that? Got you. Got you. My husband left his Apple Watch at home and I was reading all of his messages about the meeting up

when he said he was at work. Oh no. So the wrist, the watch is just going ding, ding, ding, ding. Oh, no. Busted. Busted. Some of the technology. I just had our second child who was probably a couple of weeks old

and a friend of mine said to me, it's nice to see you out walking with your husband, but where's the baby? I was at home with her two children, and he was out walking with what is now his wife. Oh, my God. That's monkey, that sounds like monkey barring.

It's monkey business. I was not going to say monkey barring, but also a little bit of monkey business. I came down with the flu after his infidelity, and I was panicking that he'd given me an STD, so I rang me at work under the guys of a caring boyfriend to go to the doctors. I refuse because I'm six months pregnant.

This is a lot. Six months pregnant. because I can't take anything away. He kept pushing. I'm sorry. Yeah, you really should have read that before. I don't know if that's my lack of reading or just a message that had a lot. Yeah.

Pretty I can't read. That might be it, Vaughn. My friend's mom caught her husband cheating when my friend was very young and they drove past a cafe and my friend said, Dadda, and Mom said, no, Dad is not here.

Yeah Do they win $30,000? No Damn You win a neat fact Hey Kimberley Hifin Clark

Kimberly Clark, a brand still in production today. Yeah, I recognise that brain. You see it every now and again. Developed a material called cell you cotton during World War I for gas mask filters, of course, mustard gas, big problem in World War I. Yeah. The Kaiser

would launch some mustard gas from their trenches, cough you out, suffocate, I could kill you. Mess with the eyes and everything. After the war, they needed a consumer product, so they cut the salu cotton into thin sheets and marketed it as a disposable cold cream removal.

but now cold cream was like makeup and such for women's cosmetics. Yep. They did this after World War I in the 1920s. Consumers soon wrote to the company saying they were using the product to blow their noses instead as it was a quick easy way to blow your nose and dispose of the thing rather than stuff in the hanky back up your...

A hanky back up your sleeve or in your bra. I loved hankies for a while. I went back to them. They're great. They're so soft and nice but then you've got to have a snot-filled rag in your pocket. And when I'm blowing my nose, a lot of snots coming out. Yeah, I'm probably only getting three or four. four blows on that hanky before it's...

You're a prolific snotter. Yeah, me too. I'm snotty. Prolific snotter. So they got letters saying we're using this product to blow our noses instead and then there was a pivot.
