Starting point is 00:01:08 I don't want to go on about it, but I do want to go on about it. And there just are not enough people witnessed this. And there was a community page post about it. And I feel like I'm stepping forward to take my fair share of the hum drum. I'm ready to, hands ready to clap. Get ready to applaud me next. The Flet's morning, Haley, big pod. We must give credit where credit's due.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Lovely Bev. Just had a delicious biscuit. Made us yo-yo's. She did make yo-yo's and a little note. What constitutes a yo-yo? Well, I think it's shortbread. Is it custard? Is it custard powder?
Starting point is 00:01:48 No, and the shortbread and then, I think. And then icing. And then glued together with icing. Delicious. Far apart, Bev. 10 out 10. I will say that some of those didn't make it from home to work. Yeah, I was saying there weren't as many as when you first sent us a picture yesterday saying they've made biscuits.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah. That's okay. So I'm driving at the weekend as... Where are we driving? I am wont to do. Home. I did some shopping. Your favourite place to drive.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's my favourite destination. If I'm headed in there, I'm happy. And I'm driving. I see a carport over on the side of the road. And my eye looks. Because I've become, I've just decided I'm going to stop and ask people if they are okay. Whenever I see a car on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You're a very helpful man. Oh, my God, you're so annoying. Get your nose out of people's business. No, it's not even about that. It's just about being offered help. As someone that's been offered help this year, I will pay it forward in this form. Ask people if they're okay, do you need a hand?
Starting point is 00:02:42 Are you all right? Is there anything I can do to help? One day someone's going to jump you and do something to you. Well, you know what? Go out of here. Shiv me. Shiv me. Shiv me, timber.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And you won't have a ranger anymore. Oh, well. I'm sure Ford have insurance to cover these sorts of them. Yeah, it's going to say, it's not even his car, you know. Yeah. So I see a car pulled over And as I look Another car is pulling over
Starting point is 00:03:03 And so I drive past And I'm like, I've got to go back So rip a fat Ui As this show does Crank a hair right Here on the show We love ripping a fat Ui Constantly
Starting point is 00:03:12 Oh Haley's ripped a fat Ui Yeah She doesn't think love is dead No she thinks love's alive and well It's what It's simmering It's a simmering life Yeah
Starting point is 00:03:20 Okay So check out after a week of no sleep See how you're going with that And what are we not sleeping this week Are you not sleeping this week? No, I don't sleep when you're dead. So, I get, and then when I get back, I'm like, what's going on? And I can see a man is in a mud bog with a sheep.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Oh, no. Well, how do you end up in a mud bog with a sheep? What's it good to do with him being on the side of the road? The guy pulled over on the other guy that pulled over on the side of the road. They're obviously doing something. And another guy is getting across over the fence and he's got a big rope. and I'm like I've got to get in on this so over the fence I go as well
Starting point is 00:04:00 Is it his sheep? No, it's the sheep in the QMew showgrounds. Right. They're just, they're owned by the showgrounds which is a community situation but it's in this mud bog that they make muddy for the mud run thing that happens. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:14 So he's in there and he's like up to his wasted mud and the sheep's like stuff. How did he get so boggy? The closest I've seen to quick sand as an adult. Is this like the quick mudder thing? the tough muddough I did that once it's like that but it's just like the local kids do it but why is it way if the kids are doing it
Starting point is 00:04:33 why is it waste deep mud and it's so dry and it was used months ago it's just stays money so he's in there the sheep's in there the other guy's walking with the rope and I get there and I'm like well we're just going to manpower this or what that's my first that's my opening line hot are we just going to manpower this or what
Starting point is 00:04:51 and then the guy was like now that there's three of us I think we can So I just grabbed the sheep and I said If we roll it when we get the leg It'll be on its back I won't be panicking, we'll just drag it out I kind of Immediately just came in and took control I like when someone drags me out by my legs
Starting point is 00:05:06 And I'm on my back On my back And I don't know I'll stop resisting It's a muddy situation where you're ready I'm like I give up I get up panicking I'm on my back

Starting point is 00:05:36 By the way, the guy who the second guy that got there stopped to help the guy who was stuck. He was up to his, like, waste in mind. Yeah, right. And he couldn't, like, pull and push himself out because he wasn't around, like, solid ground. He was just on the sheep. It was nuts. Another do-go-to just keep driving. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It's not your problem. She could have died. The man could have died. The second man could have died. We could have lost a good rope. It was a good rope. It was the sort of rope when you see a guy... Ficky, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Twist it? Yeah. It's a sort of a rope when you see a guy pull it out of a car. You're like, what are you doing with that rope? You're crazy boy? Why you bring that rope when you're getting rolled on the right? I'll stop panicking. Ken Ailey on her back and she'll stop panicking
Starting point is 00:06:15 and then you can hog tire with that bloody huge rope. But it made the community. There was a post on the community page. That was the guy that was up to his... waste and mud. Or did you not get a photo home? I didn't get the photo on them. No credit.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Wait, so everyone thinks he rescued the sheep. He did rescue the sheep. He was the original. But you rescued him. But we rescued the sheep. You rescued him. We rescued him.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Thus, rescuing the sheep. Do you know who the top comment on that post is? Who? Jules top. One of the top twins. What did she say? She didn't even know you were involved. Because Anna said,
Starting point is 00:06:46 thanks to the two cars who stopped to help Dave rescue a sheep suck and mud to suffer. Two cars. I thought you said there were three. No, he was the original car. Yeah, and two more cars. Wait, they're making out like he didn't need rescuing.
Starting point is 00:06:56 He didn't risk out there was too. He was up to his neck and muck. Jules Top said, hey Anna, because Anna posted it. Yeah. When we're on our tour, we made up the rescue name. We called it International Sheep Rescue. And if anyone of the sort of sheep in trouble, we'd call out International Sheep Rescue. And that meant we'd pull over and get our hands on deck.
Starting point is 00:07:12 To date, we've saved nearly 100 sheep because we're keeping a tally. Oh, see, now that's nice. That's Jules Top. National hero. Jules and Linda. Top twins, yeah. Park of the sensational. But they have no idea you were.
Starting point is 00:07:23 involved because they've got no shout out to warn well here it is right now I claim that sheep The Fletchborn and Haley Big Pod Well you have two young teenagers

Very much still alive and well. Yeah, I was home at the weekend and yeah, my nieces were doing it as well. They were just any chance to crowbar in like, oh, do we need some more spoons on the table?

Starting point is 00:09:17 I hate myself for even saying that, is that in an Out Burger, an employee at in and outburger and mostly on the West Coast in America. Yeah. It's not everywhere. Sometimes they do a pop-up.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I think they did a pop-up here recently in Aussie. Yeah. To keep the trademark alive and that's why they do those pop-ups. Well, an employee has confirmed that they have skipped 67. Because, you know, they give you a ticket and they're like, just when your number's called, come up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:45 It goes straight from 66 to 68 because everybody was sick to death of the number 6.7 coming up. Have you seen the videos of order 67 in court? It's like, it starts with they're like 65 and it was like ooh. Oh God. And he's like 66. Ah!
Starting point is 00:10:03 And then we're like 6-7. And it just goes, like the whole restaurant erupts. How long are we given this? 6-7? It's too. It's longer than I thought.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I think. Maybe post Christmas we'll come back. Yeah, this is what we need. Yeah. After the school, when school goes back there'll be a new thing. I think we should bring back one that it was specific to my school and maybe my area was lashed, which was the same as like suck it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Lashed? Lashed? Yeah. Oh, that never, that wasn't a thing at my school. Yeah, no, that's what I think we can crank it. We could start our own thing. I think for it to tank off it's kind of got to be kind of cool. Okay, next proposal.

Starting point is 00:12:57 Why? So that's pretty good that 53 said it's a great year. Because generally as a country we're pretty optimistic and happy, aren't we? I think, I mean, if you look around, plenty to be grateful for here. But then, I mean, yeah, it has been a tough year,

I'm actually seeing my therapist this week working through 11-knats. Sorry, how many bags am I allowed on this floor?
Starting point is 00:19:24 23KGs and one carry-on of emotional baggage. The good thing about the emotional baggage is that it doesn't weigh anything apart from everything. Yes. It's an infinite weight. Do you see Air New Zealand posts on their social media? Like, this is how much carry-on bag you should have? It's like, what are you doing here? What are you?

Starting point is 00:20:18 And the woman was like, sure. And then she weighed it and she was like, oh, okay. And it was like five or something. And the woman said to the New Zealand person, like, oh, how much you allowed? And the woman said seven, but, like, we'll allow up to ten. So. Oh, oh, okay. That's like saying the speed limits 100, but we won't pull you over if you're doing 105.

I just thought we were just hanging out. Well, don't say the things that we would say. I just forgot where we were, this is our job.
Starting point is 00:23:13 This is our job. That's crazy. That's just a... There's a highlight of 2025. Wait, because I was about to also get some floating shelves. Yeah, I want some floating shelves. Why, what's wrong with floating shells? Once love for minimalism, now replaced by freestanding statement shelving.
Starting point is 00:23:26 You're big unit. No, that's a bit of a kitchen. Not that sort of big unit? Because in the kitchen, I'm putting some. You're same. Okay, well, I'm not listening. But freestanding units are an earthquake risk too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You've got to bracket them to the wall. We live in the shaky aisles. Desktop computers are being abandoned. You've both got one. I don't have one. Sales down 26%. I love. my death. It's an eye mag so it's not like a big
Starting point is 00:23:46 town. It's embarrassing. And finally suave machines. I don't think that really made it. I've got one of those. Do you? What a what machine? A survey machine. So you know when you like slow cook meat in water in a bag and then you would seal it and you'd give it a sear afterwards. Yeah. Right. It's like reverse searing air. Okay. So you vacuum seal something and then you like submerge it in
Starting point is 00:24:09 water. Yeah. And then you clip this machine onto like a massive stop pot. And you said it at like 40 degrees And it'll just keep that water at 40 degrees Bringing the meat up To like rear And then you go sizzle, sizzle cooked Yeah, no but I don't think
Starting point is 00:24:23 I just feel like jeans and shelves And that kind of stuff It feels relevant for this A suave machine I don't think we were particularly worried about No Play ZM's Flesh Forne and Haley From the unmoderated comment section
Starting point is 00:24:36 This is the Top Six Well Children's Playgrounds Back in the day man And they were crazy. We used to have one at Qithahi Primary, and it was something like three stories tall, and I remember the fundraising effort to build it,
Starting point is 00:24:50 and all the dads just came down and put in the Mahi and built this monstrosity. Out of wood, right? Yeah. Yeah, ours was wood with a metal slide. Yeah. These massive poles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Well, playground's in the news because a kid got burnt on a playground, and they're kind of petitioning for more shade. Really full-on burns, too, like a big blistery burn after touching, a hot metal part of the playground with no shade sale over it. But this is just like playgrounds in the 80s and 90s. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I broke my left arm twice on a playground and it made me cool and stronger. All those stainless steel slides. Yeah, stainless steel slides. This thing that the kid burnt their hand on was one of those, you jump in and someone spins you around and around around around. It surprises me, they're still in there,
Starting point is 00:25:36 but yeah, the metal tread plate on the bottom was just sitting straight in the sun and the kid crawled on, little kid crawled off, put the hands on. Yeah, right. stinking hot. Jeez. But there's no exposed parts
Starting point is 00:25:45 for a kid to lose a finger in this spiny. No. That's a shame, eh? Yeah. Oh, back in the day, we just used to lose fingers will and early. Well, you fell off and you just landed on concrete or... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Skid your skin off. Well, I like the top six injuries from playgrounds in the 90s that won't happen anymore. Number six on the list is not just burning on the metal slide when you're going down on it, but also sticking to it in that weird way where you go... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:08 On the thighs, on the thighs grow. Oh, yeah. And you've got to lean back on. with the shorts but a bit of thigh hits and it's that skin grip yeah number five on the list of the top six playground injuries from the 90s are not gripping the fireman's pole right
Starting point is 00:26:22 and just falling three stories onto bark sometimes they used to have a tight children gather around sometimes they used to have a tire at the bottom so when you landed it was like soft but it was like a steel belted radio and then it was worn down and then there was little bits of steel poking through yeah
Starting point is 00:26:37 full of bark yeah that was what we had for cushioning a fall Number four on the list of the top six injuries From Playgrounds in the 90s Again, we'll go back to the fireman's pole But again, it's gripping the fire pole But not doing it right And then the same thing that happened on the slide
Starting point is 00:26:50 To your thighs now happens on the inside of your thighs On a fireman's pole Yeah, all to your balls You squeak down it And your skin's just been ripped on metal That red burn, eh? Do firemen even use firemen's poles these days? I don't know that they do
Starting point is 00:27:06 I think they don't I think they just run down the stairs Don't they? Yeah. Or they're all just on the ground level. I think that most fire stations would now just be ground level. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:16 966, if you're a fireman and you've been in a pole. Is there a pole in your station? That's central Auckland place we're used to live by. That's two stories. That's two stories. Surely that would have a pole. That's old. I think that's got a pole. 696. Let us know. No 696. Do you have a dancing pole?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah, do you have a strippers pole? Any pole? Do you have a pole? 966. Do you do pole vaulting? Do you do a strip of fitness? Yeah, are you a pole vulture, 9-6-9-6? Yes, okay, yeah, if you're a pole-voter as well. Do you a poll-based hobby? Do you take poles?
Starting point is 00:27:47 Like, ask people questions. Are you a surveyist? 9-6-9-6. Have you been to the South or North Pole? Oh, please, let us know. Anyway, carry on, Vaughn, please. Number three on the list of the top six centuries from playgrounds in the 90s,
Starting point is 00:28:02 falling out of the swing when it's at the top of its... That's how I snap my arm. So many broken arms from swings, eh? Here's the nuts thing. We had this massive frame and the swing was an old tire that had just been cut with an angle grinder.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Of course. Bless you say. Hayfiff, this isn't? It is, eh? It's kicked in this weekend. I don't even get hay fever and I've got hay fever. I don't know. Hard enough.
Starting point is 00:28:24 So much pollen. Hard enough. Have is a myth. Swing at us and it was, you'd get so high and you jump out at the apex. That's how I did it. It was like,
Starting point is 00:28:34 watch me land on my left arm. Yeah. Which brings us nicely to number, two on the list of the top six injuries from playgrounds in the 90s. Ground shock. Yeah. Have you had ground shock lately? Or like loud, when you jumped off the tram onto the... Yeah. I got ground shock
Starting point is 00:28:48 a few weeks ago. I jumped off something. I hit the ground and I was like, no. Yeah. Ouch, as an adult, it hurts so much more than as a child. Getting winded. Getting winded when you said, that's the worst. I'm never going to breathe again. And number one on the list of the top six injuries
Starting point is 00:29:04 from playgrounds in the 1990s. He's accidentally wandering into the path of the flying fox when there's an a unit on it. Oh, God. You get knocked for six. Or just losing all your fingers because you put your hand up to stop it. That's the ASTM Podcast Network. Okay, here's a debate online and I want to,
Starting point is 00:29:24 and maybe Gurley's you could get involved with this because, I mean, someone's waiting for rings, you know what I mean? And it's no one in this studio. Yep. There is a man who has sparked backlash online. I'm waiting for rings. Chatter rings. Gerger rings.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah. Num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num. Yeah. Donuts included, because they're kind of a ring-shaped. Yeah, well, they're a fat ring. If you're smeggle and you're listening, no need to message in. We know what your favourite ring is. Just sex in my precious, we'll know who you are.
Starting point is 00:29:59 So he was planning. Yeah, 96696, if you're smegel. Okay. Or gollum, whatever mood you're in today. What's your favorite ring, Spingle? So this guy has sparked to ban online. He is preparing a preparerial on Christmas Day. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Okay? Cute, family around, that kind of stuff. He's bought the engagement ring. Like when the presents are being opened and stuff? It's pricey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, okay. And he said he will not be buying his girlfriend a present, a Christmas present
Starting point is 00:30:29 because the engagement ring counts as her gift. And everyone online is like, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Christmas morning during present opening In front of both the families Is when he's going to be doing it So he was like, that's the gift I mean, it will be the most expensive gift Under that tree
Starting point is 00:30:46 Producer Girlies But do we not agree That the proposal is not a gift Sorry, we're just reading the text machine And someone's coming with a good ring option Oh, okay, hold on any of the look here This is 2025
Starting point is 00:30:58 No Oh yeah, they're right, they're arrived How do they work? What's the idea? It's got a thing at the end And it kind of, okay, it can see. Moving on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Anyway. Yes. Do you think that this is right, that the engagement ring, let's say it's thousands of dollars? Yeah. Counts as the Christmas present. Look, I get where this person is coming from.
Starting point is 00:31:19 My thought is, if he's doing this as a, like, surprise, is she not going to be like, why is there not a single present under the tree for me? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? So you've got to get a little gift as like a thrower offer. Also, his reasoning was the ring is expensive and, quote, getting engaged is definitely a gift.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It feels a little bit. That's put me off. I think you've got to get some little small token gift that's under the tree that is like, you know, meaningful to her and then also the engagement room. My issue is less with the present side of it. It's the pressure of doing it in front of the family and ruining Christmas.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Like, of course you have to say yes. And then you would be like, let's go to the hallway. And I'm just going to tell you no. But we have to pretend we're engaged. Oh, God, I know. So lots of people are saying, calling the proposal a gift implies that he is granting her the privilege of marrying her.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Wow. And that's yuck. And everyone's saying it's a bit red flaggy. And they shouldn't be considered one. But also it makes me think, like, is he just proposing so that he doesn't have to pick her a gift? Because you know what I mean? I mean, that's an expensive out though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah. Yeah, but if you couldn't think of anything and you were like, oh, we're there anyways, may as well just propose. Because otherwise, it's normally something that you just do at any time of year. it doesn't normally happen at Christmas. You know what I mean? It's not normally a gif.
Starting point is 00:32:40 You unengaged wenches, what do you call you? Spinsters. Spinser, sat on the shelf or whatever. Heathens? Yeah, because we're over 25, so I think we are spinsters. Wait, did you just say your elf on a shelf?
Starting point is 00:32:54 You're left on the shelf. Oh, left on the shelf. I think you said your alf on the shelf. I am elf on the shelf on my spare time. Yeah, sometimes. Are you lonely unengaged spinsters with boyfriends, you know, who are just treading water?
Starting point is 00:33:05 are you, would you be happy to be proposed to on Christmas Day and for your families? No, no, no way. Okay, good. Just being proposed to in front of your family. Oh my God, yeah. It's a personal thing. And are you expecting gifts from your partners this Christmas? No.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Yes. No, have you gone no gifts? Well, we're not with each other on Christmas. That made it something we're breaking up. I'm more men physically. Is he on a cruise ship doing his magic? Yes, he's in Mexico. Christmas cruise on Mexico.
Starting point is 00:33:30 It couldn't fly you to Mexico for a little Christmas patch up. Oh, yeah, that'll be cute. No. No, we've only spent one Christmas together before. No, we don't do Christmas. We do, like, I don't know, dinner. Yeah, dinner and a birthday.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Carl Wind, does your partner know what he's getting you for your Christmas, or are you involved in it? Yeah, look, yes. Okay. Yeah. She's been coy. Sounds secret. Someone messaged, and I was proposed her on Christmas Day,
Starting point is 00:33:54 and to be honest, I was in such a bubble of happiness and shock that I didn't even notice even know other gifts, but I didn't want any because I'm so obsessed with my ring. I think if your partner knows you and nails the ring, you shouldn't be looking for any other gifts. That's greedy. Yeah, but keep me. like a nice nightie or something
Starting point is 00:34:07 Oh okay mum What do you want for Mother's Day? Just a nice nighty from farmers? The Z&M Podcast Network Play ZDM's Fleshhorn and Haley Taylor Swift documentary long awaited All about the Making of the Eras Tour
Starting point is 00:34:23 You went bad blood, did you? I went bad blood, yeah It's a great song It's a great song So it's a four-part docu-series Two, five, six? Six, so two are out. Two are out.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Two coming the week after, and then the week after that, the last two. Producer Girlies, you had a cute platonic, because that is a friendship that's available, date together to watch this documentary. First of, we went to see a male stripper at a bookstore, and then we went and watched the documentary. Yeah, now, the male stripper was dressed as Santa. I saw these photos. Yeah, right. No beard, though, because I was quite confused. And a lot of people were.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Because I'm used to just seeing the Westfield Santa, you know, like, yeah, it was confusing. was sexy center but no then we went and watched the documentary it was very good now what did you think because disney paid a hundred million dollars for this yeah that's a lot of money they beat out netflix universal they they won the rights yeah paid her a hundred million for this yeah i think it was worth it i mean everyone was talking about it over the weekend and like it was very clear it was a documentary taylor swift made about her it wasn't a documentary made by Disney. It wasn't someone coming in and just filming her. She was in control of all of it. Right. Yeah. It was so interesting to
Starting point is 00:35:38 see though. One in particular moment was Florence and the Machine came to perform their song, Florida. They decided six days before she came on stage to change the set list, add in this new choreography, add everything in and just showing the process of how they did that for one show only. Yeah. It's pretty magical. I feel like the most viral clip, which we've got a little sample of here, is the moment that she realizes how much money this tour is made and she gives a lot she gives everyone a bit of a bonus
Starting point is 00:36:08 the tour has done really well thanks to all of our hard work there's cam we've traveled the world like we set out to do we've dazzled the crowds but we've missed family too my full gratitude doesn't come from a bank but here's all this just to see things What? Okay, how much money did she give him? Well, so they've kind of broken this down. We know she gave out $197 million in bonuses. US?
Starting point is 00:36:40 US? To her whole crew. So that was everyone who washed every costume, every truck driver, every sound technician. So the truck drivers, some of them did mention the truck drivers got $100,000 US dollars as a bonus. Okay. So the dancers that clip there with Camden. talking. People have worked out kind of based on the way he talks and the
Starting point is 00:37:03 timing of the blurring and based off the numbers. At six figures? Oh, $750,000 is the determined amount. Each of them. What? And that's their bonus just from the second leg of the tour. The first league of the tour, they also got a bonus as well. But imagine if she'd just charged less for
Starting point is 00:37:19 tickets. She did it in Taylor's... Her tickets were not as bad as some other concerts going at the moment. I paid more for Lady Gaga for not as good tickets. I just think we'd just pay up the wazoo for tickets everywhere now. Isn't that, that's so wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Imagine someone, you're just doing your job, and they'll already be getting paid quite well, I imagine. The dancers in particular, and the tour organizers and whatnot, and then suddenly she just drops nearly a million dollars on you. Yeah, and I think it's really cool. I mean, obviously, she was going to put that in a docker. It makes her look very good.
Starting point is 00:37:52 I do think it's great, though. I mean, if she just walked away with millions, millions, million, million, millions of dollars just herself and they were getting paid, whatever they're getting paid. And obviously she like hand wrote all these letters individually to everyone, stamped them with a wax seal. She also every stop donated quite a lot of money,
Starting point is 00:38:07 maybe like 100,000 I want to say, to food shelters in the area that she stopped at. Lots of them talked about it. That's the only reason you know about Taylor's charity when the actual charity talks about it. But also like she made so much money off of this, but they also put so much of their work and their lives into this show. They will probably have injuries from just how often they were performed.
Starting point is 00:38:29 they've been away from families it's cool that she can respect them enough to do that I totally agree I saw people in the comments of videos about the saying that one time on Beyonce's tour she just gave everyone a signed poster Wow So I mean look she probably gave them some money too
Starting point is 00:38:45 But it wasn't $750,000 was it It's crazy because I remember I took Hayley's keyboard to that show in Wellington and I didn't get anything Oh yeah well we like And it was a really fruitful weekend for me Yeah we were actually thinking thousands of dollars and I had to take it for like probably two kilometers.
Starting point is 00:39:02 It was on wheels, yes, but like didn't get anything. We were thinking, you know, like we are basically your dancers for this show. So I'm really excited for a bonus day. It just feels like a Ross problem. Do you think the mics should cut out? I think they have cut out. I think it's a Ross. Oh, the producer's mic's just cut out there.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I'll quickly sign one about calendars that we're giving away. Okay. For Carwin and Shannon, that'd be nice. Should I do that? Do you want me to just sign on your behalf? Yeah, if you could just check my initials on that, that'd be great. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley.

Starting point is 00:39:48 and then try to get the listener's job. If we do that, $100 cash. But we often don't. We have a terrible track record with this game. We're so bad at it. Terrible. Do you feel like when we've first started playing what's your joby

Can I just say, Lee, my mum's actually going in for a surgery today, and she's going under, and she's quite nervous. Any tips for nervous sleepers? I think even if I was going under, I'd be nervous as well. It's a scary environment. We don't want to hear that.

Starting point is 01:02:11 The Z&M Podcast Network. Gen Z, they are the biggest players in the AI dating game. AI is set to take over dating in 2026. We already know that like some dating apps, I think is it a hinge or whatever, have AI assistance. You know, can help you with your pickup lines and whatnot. Really? And then, so what, you're just going to end up on dating apps, chatting to people not actually using your words.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Like a player. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then meet up and be like, nice tits. Where's that beautiful, intelligent mind I was chatting with? And you just have no chat compared to what you've been using on the app. I know. So Love Honey, which is an online retailer.
Starting point is 01:02:55 They've done a bit of a forecast based on the data they've received on where we're going with AI and dating. 25% of Gen Z and 26% of millennials have spoken to AI about sex. Oh, okay. Whether tips or ideas or how do you do it or advice or tricks or that.
Starting point is 01:03:14 I'm going to, woo-woo-woo. People now turn to AI for advice more than humans, 51% using AI. You're not going to get judged by AI, right? Whereas if you ask your friend something, they could be, you know, they could be like, well, you, that's a stupid question. When it comes to love and dating and sex,
Starting point is 01:03:34 the people we talk to the least are our partners. Friends above that, AI above that. That's interesting. That's the people you should be talking to the most. Yeah, because you've got to have communication. I know. I know, if Morgan was here, that would be the one thing. It always comes down to communication.
Starting point is 01:03:49 AI increasingly being used as a sex therapist, experts warning that could be risky and create harmful feedback loops. Young men are the biggest users. Okay. 30% of Gen Z men, 34% of millennial men have also talked to AI about Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Mm-hmm. Bunker, weir-wee-or-e-er-e-er. Bunker. They predict in 20206 is going to be a major shift in how people seek guidance, validation and connection. Also, there is a trend
Starting point is 01:04:18 where there's like some cafes popping up or having nights where if you're dating AI, you are dating your AI personality. I'm sorry, what? Yours is called Al. Mine's called Ouse. I haven't given in to AI yet.
Starting point is 01:04:32 I'm not, I'll use it sometimes, but no. So you can go and have like a date with your AI, like bring your computer but like be in an environment and they be talking about how it goes? Do they institutionalise you afterwards or do they grab you at that point or what? Yeah. Because that's getting a bit much, isn't it? I know.
Starting point is 01:04:51 People want to marry the AI, right? So they call dating, like chatting, meeting, going out on dates with humans, they're calling it now analog intimacy. Which is just human connection. Yeah, but it's like
Starting point is 01:05:08 calling a cigarette an analog vape. Yeah, you know. Vap, an analog cigarette. Well, they reckon this is... A vape is a digital sig. Oh, yeah, and a cigarette is an analog vape. An analog vape.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to pop out for an analog vape? Absolutely. So they say with these extremes, now we're going to see a huge splier. it because it's going to go so heavily into AI that people like ourselves are going to be like, no, we're going to do simple meeting, inner park, basic dating, back to basics, do things like speed dating, single nights, coffee dates and that kind of stuff. That would be my biggest hope is that people get over it.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah, or that are so scared by it or find it so impersonal that they do go the other way. But then also people are embracing it so heavily that, yeah, you do read stories of people that want to date their, you know, marry them. Someone just texts in Digital Darry. A digital diary. Yeah, that's pretty good. If you will. That's pretty good. Yeah. Someone just texted if Vaughn needs a magnet for a summer project,
Starting point is 01:06:07 you know, you're not hooking them up. Yeah, I'll have a magnet. No, you're not hooking them up. I love magnets.

Starting point is 01:07:48 The Presence of the kids All right One last I'm getting too old for the shit I'm too old for this. Last Christmas, old man. The wind gets in my neck hole in a bloody freezes me. So the misconception of that Santa's reindeer are male.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Male reindeer shed their antlers in late autumn, well before Christmas. And female reindeer keep their antlers through winter so that they can dig through the snow for food. So every reindeer shown with antlers. Oh my God, that's so handy. They have like a shovel on their head. Yeah. So go.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Very handy. We need that. Or it might be a cast. Anastrated male. Oh, okay. What you would explain? Kathy's deep voice. We're going to need to see some pronouns for that reindeer.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Yep, that's so we can know. True. They, them. So the antlers are driven by testosterone. Once the mating season ends, the male's testosterone levels crash. Right. And so the antlers weaken at the base and fall off. Usually...
Starting point is 01:08:46 Don't want to weaken at the base. You don't want a weakening at the base. Strong base. Strong health. So, okay. By Christmas, males are exhausted. They wouldn't have the energy to pull Santa Slater in the world on one night. The antlers are gone and they're kind of done for the year.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Women. Women in the workplace. I don't think they either assumed the gender of the reindeer. Well, they... I thought it was a mixed bag. You thought it was a mixed bag. Yeah, well, Rudolph is a boy. But now we learn Rudolph's nose lights up because he's at his neck is knocked off.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Yeah, right. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Huh. So the winter antlers for females. to defend themselves and to dig through the snow
Starting point is 01:09:26 and they will then lose their antlers in spring after giving birth. And then do they grow back? Dancer and Prancer I thought were homosexuals. That felt. Well, I mean statistically, there's got to be a couple of gay reindeer. Dash is male, dance or prance are a male homosexuals. Do you know I say the one's called dancer and prance?
Starting point is 01:09:42 I might be there. If there was another one called Mincer, I would say he's probably the gay one. Yeah. Dasher and dancer and Mincer and Vickson. Kathy and Daffee and Daffee and D. I don't need to know about what you got up to on the weekend, Mincer. Jesus, Christ. I'm an old woman.

Starting point is 01:12:53 Oh, weekends at home. I knew you just had a weekend at home, and how good was that for you? I feel completely rejuvenated. Yeah. Like a month of hard, hard work feels reset. And I was like, huh, there's something in this. This rest thing.
Starting point is 01:13:06 This rest thing. But I also, I mean, year after year, I've failed at resolutions before. I've hit them once before. I did it quit smoking on New Year's Day, years and years and years ago. And you haven't smoked since? Oh, well, we wouldn't say that, but I'm not a smoker.
Starting point is 01:13:20 You're not a, you're maybe a party day, Oh, a party data, but yeah, I was smoking full on, so that was pretty good. Well, whatever it is, maybe a chance for you to glow.

Starting point is 01:14:29 Yep. It's taken like, honestly, probably about like five or six years of like hard savings. Yeah. But finally we did it and we ended up building a house that we love. Amazing. And yeah. And my other part was shaking off the haters was what I texted. Who was?
Starting point is 01:14:51 Who was haters? Wow, you know when you have like family members or like friends and they just kind of hang on and they're that little bit negative and then when something positive happens for you, they sort of, they really bring their ugly side to the top, you know? Yeah, get them gone, get them on. Those aren't the kind of friends you want around, eh? You find you just curate friends and you get rid of those people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Yep, and it's just a good chance to like snip, snip, you know, when they show their real ugly side. Get that snap.

Starting point is 01:16:36 We can't afford lines. Tequila. No, they're actually not too bad. They're about to get expensive, though. Then tequila, however much you want, that's the poorest choice.

Starting point is 01:17:32 I have not eaten any hot chips. Oh my God! Wow. And they're Earth's delights. There's 16 days left. McKenna, do you miss them? I do, but part of me is like, I've made it this far. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:48 Are I going to give in, or am I going to go? No, Kenna, you've just won a lifetime supply. McKenna, if I gave you $100, would you eat some hot chips out of a punnet? A hundred bucks, get real. Nah. No. No, not a $200. No. Three.
Starting point is 01:18:04 No. We're getting close to $500. $500,000, would you eat chips for $500? $5,000. No, we don't have $5,000. $12 million. Would you, okay. Final offer, a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:18:17 I reckon $500. you'd do it, McKenna? I think $500, I'd probably do it. No, McKinna, you have slaved all year and resisted temptation of a hot, hot chippee. $500 is, $500, this time of year. Yeah, come into the studio tomorrow, I'll get some hot chips. Have we got $500? Wait a minute, you were talking like it was your money.
Starting point is 01:18:33 I was playing with your money. No, it's Ross's money. Ross doesn't have any money left. Market of the budget has been completely depleted. Yeah, no, you're not wrong. Actually, McKenna, we've kind of got no money there. Are you going to do it again for 2026? Well, I thought maybe 2026.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Maybe I'd add, like, no soda to the mix. Oh, yeah, nice. No sodies. So I realize I'm just kind of eliminating, like, a whole Macca's combo meal up. Yeah, you got the burgers. Still got the burgers. Yeah, hang on. And the nuggets.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Yeah, hang on to those. Thanks for Kenna. Keep your text coming in, lots of those. We get to those next 9-6-96. How did you go with your New Year's resolutions? Play Z-N's flesh, one and Haley. Do we just make a New Year's resolution to do the Pinnacles? I think we did it.
Starting point is 01:19:15 The Hike? We're not doing the Pinnacles. Haley, you love the Pinnacles Should we stay up and the Pinnacles Hut? Oh, I'm quite, I'm quite keen I'm like get up, get down and go and live your life You can. I'm a day hiker. Yes, so.
Starting point is 01:19:28 Let's sleep up in the Pinnacles Hut. But why when the walks like two hours? Yeah, that's so busy. Are you busy, Haley? Yeah, I'm so busy. This is my favourite message we've received so far at your New Year's resolution. My new year's resolution was to get fit and strong
Starting point is 01:19:39 and a run every day, all that shit. I've gained 15 Kages. I've never loved my new body more. Curves are yum. Wait, so they've gained 15 Kajers. Because somebody else said my resolution was to get fit and join the gym. I've lost 20 KGs.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Oh, wow. Walking the Tongarero track. I think they mean Tongarero there. The crossing. Wrong. Yeah. On the 3rd of January. Oh, yeah, nice.
Starting point is 01:19:59 I love that. As long as you feel good in your own body, that's the thing. My New Year's resolution was to make my husband lunch to take to work every day, but that went out the window when he pissed me off two weeks into January. You screw him, make your own bloody lunch. Yeah. Love that. My husband has not had chocolate since December 31st last year.
Starting point is 01:20:16 It has a block of Whitaker's banana, a flake and an advent calendar all waiting for him on the 1st of January. Wow. Okay. What a niche flavour choice. I am 13. No, but just any chocolate, I think. Oh, yeah, no, but ready to go. The banana one.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Did that come out this year? Yeah, that was yum. And so that's why he's like, I really want to try that. Bank that up. True. My news resolution was dry 25. No alcohol for a whole year. I'm 11 months and 13 days in.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Holy. Well done. You should try that, Haley. I'm very pleased for those that do, but... Dry 25 minutes, sort of 25 days. It's been a whole thing. Not in a row. I told myself, 300 gym sessions in 2025.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Turns out consistency, work, smash the goal, and casually added a few half marathons along the way. Yes, I love that. It's a lifestyle, isn't it, Georgia? It's a lifestyle. Actually. Yeah, it's a lifestyle. I said it's going to go to the gym five times a week.
Starting point is 01:21:12 I somehow missed the last 200 sessions. That's okay. There's a real mix of these. I love it. I love it too. My resolution was to read 20 books, delete photos every day by date, quit smoking and buy a house.
Starting point is 01:21:24 We bought a house, but the stress made me smoke more. Read one book and deleted photos on the first and second of January. It's got some of it done. Yeah. You know, that's actually pretty good because who else has to pay extra
Starting point is 01:21:34 for their storage for their... Me. Yeah. I pay for all the storages. I think that should be an easy resolution actually. I'm made a goal to do Pilates every day this year. So far, I've only missed four days. With three small kids,
Starting point is 01:21:44 I find this a huge achievable. to be able to make any amount of time every day for myself. Yeah, good on you. Sometimes it's only a 10 minutes Pilates and other times it's 40 but I've only missed four. That's cool. That's pretty cool. Good on you.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Bravo. I signed up for Pilates remember, so that's... Yeah, you actually signed up for a lot of things. You bought a skateboard and never learned. No, that's coming. Is it? Is it? Yeah, I've found someone to teach me.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yeah, you also said that four months ago, but sure. No, I found a teacher. Tony Hawk? No, not Tony Hawk. He'd be a pretty good teacher. Nah, he'd be unrealistic. Tony Hawk's grandchild is also Kirk Cobain's grandchild. I know, that's wild, eh?
Starting point is 01:22:21 Yeah. That is the most... Wait, how? No, what? Tony Hawke's son, married, Francis Bean. And they have a baby together. That's pretty cool. Isn't that the most 90s thing ever in the world?
Starting point is 01:22:34 Are they doing anything cool, though? Like, are they just hanging out? Being in Kirk Cobain. No, like the kids, are they? Terrible news. Kurt Cobain's got a giant hole in his head, Georgia. I don't think he's doing it. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Hard to operate with that in your head, Georgia. Well, are the kids just nepo babies, or are they doing something fun? Just nepo. Do you know how to this where nepo baby? It's an infant baby. It's not done. It barely can't even sit up. Probably he's got a heavy head.
Starting point is 01:23:00 And it's already having your expectations of nepotism put on that now. Being nepo is really hard. I come from pioneer finance and my finance comes, I still have to slog every day to give out loans. So don't come at me about nepotism. So I'm not writing Craig Sprow From Pioneer Finances' Wings Okay
Starting point is 01:23:18 Do you want to talk about it later? Let's write that down I said you were To talk to the therapist about this stuff I've worked for every dollar Oh, another one in the bag It's a Versace bag as well If you enjoyed that
