From the ZDM Podcast Network This is... Flashwoman Haley's Big Pod Thanks to animates, making happy happen for pets. Now, I just changed my password because here at work, they've changed IT and you only have to update it once a year, but it has to be...

64 characters long. It contains three foreign language words. Yeah, 90 symbols. Yeah, and at least one sort of pentagram that could summon Satan himself, but I have updated it. Now I'm going to write it on a post-a-night and stick it to my laptop.

No, Vaughnard. No, that's no, no, we did. Why don't you text it to do on the IT video? Why don't you text it to us in our private, private chat? That was a how not to do video and that was the answer was not doing that. Yeah, so maybe don't. I sort of tapped out of those videos quite a while ago. The training modules?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, you've received an email promising a million dollars if you exchange your business's account. What do you do?

The 3G telephone network. The network that walked so 5G could run. Yeah, okay? I don't know why we've kept it around this long. It literally doesn't do anything. When you're on 3G, you're shit out of luck. I know. It's because it lost so much of its resources.

It was robbed of resource. Well, we use 4G and 5G now, don't we, so they don't need it? 4G's. 4G sucks too. 4G's on the way out as well. Yeah, right. I'll say it, bring on six. I reckon go straight to 7Gs.

That's how fast up to G is. Love that. So I've got the top six things that you did on the 3G network in 2006. Yes. Because it launched in 2005.

Bunnings Warehouse We knew someone that did that one say they worked here Yep Yeah they didn't get paid any extra No they don't get paid, nothing It's cheapy eh And they actually make you come in off your shift Oh do they?

Oh really? They can't even do it on your shift I didn't know that. I know, crazy, aye. Well, Bunnings is jumping on the old Laboooooo-Trend of the mystery box and they're releasing their own Mystery Bunnings mini-bears. Five to collect, a mystery box mini-bear.

You don't know which ones you've got. Oh, that one's in a high-vis. Yeah, dude, the high-vis. I reckon high-vis bears, that's the mystery. That'll be the hard one to get. So there's team member beer, which is your ones you see in the ads. Rain Poncho beer.

High Viz beer, the one you're looking at, straw hat beer with those hats. Yeah, a bit iconic. Unbeatable. Because, you know, I'm a lot of 10 man, but Bunnings does do this stuff well. What is this one in a green body suit? Rare secret beer.

Rare secret beer. Right. Blind boxes encourage collecting, trading and community. No, that's a flet. You're looking at the poncho beer. That's a poncho. That's a team member. That one's also very cute.

The one in the red polo with the Bunnings's apron on. Yes. And then I want to know what the mystery bear is. And so they're exactly like Laboobis. They have a keychain. Yeah, you just buy it like a little, and you don't know which one you're getting. Yep, blind box. And then you get it out.

It's a little plush kind of little mini-beanie thing, $12.50, and you don't know what they are. How long have these been on sale? Please tell me there is, please tell me there are tradies already attaching them to their tool belts. Oh, my God. If a Trady turned up to my house with a Bunnings Sparant, I'll be like, respect. Girls, producer, girl, he's of a Trady. If you saw a Trady and his, you know, big steel cap boots and shorty shorts. Oh my gosh.

I'm only trusting tradies that come with those bears now. Little boo-boo-boos. Yeah, I was going to say. Bunny boo-boos. They can't call them Lubbos, can they? They're just Bunnings' mysteries. Bunnings is on a bit of roll. Did you see their mini-buckets a couple of weeks ago?

Yeah. What's the funny bucket? So you know the green Bunnings buckets and usually they're like 20 litres? They were like the size of a cup and everyone, and Australian girls were getting them for cockytiles. Yeah. I did contemplate when I was in Melbourne like popping to her bunnings. So say if they had them, but that felt like a lot at.

Because in a straight, because we're not, like, we've got our own motor ticket. Oh, yeah, that's cute. But the Bunnings's bucket hats popped off as well. Everyone wanted the Bunnings bucket hats. Yeah. Well, they had their own moment here when those unruly Irish tourists were in the room. Yeah. What do I ever happen to them?

Are you going to collect these? I mean, I think that they're pretty affordable as well. So cheaper than a Lububo. Because, yeah, how much do you guys pay for Labubo? They're like 39 or something. Oh, my God. If you can get them. We got them for like 10 bucks.

Yeah. Yeah, but the heads and those aren't the right way. Yeah, I mean, mine constantly looks a little bit pizzy. Like, I'm still using it, though. Yeah, I'm going to touch your handbags. I do laugh, though, when I see growing adults with Lubbubu's on their bag walking around the city. But I think I'd find it more, like, wholesome if I sort of tradie with a Bunning's beer on their thing.

I think that would just be funny. Hanging from the, like, review mirror in their truck? Yes, that would be good. You know why I find it quite hot and endearing? Because tradies are themselves. But why do you find that haunted and tearing? But then you see a grown adult wearing a labo on their handbag or their gym bag. And you're just like, oh, that's for shame.

Do you think we're growing adults? When you refer to growing adults, are we there? No. You're the exception. Oh, okay. Sweet darling angels. Just small little lost lambs, aren't you? The ZM Podcast Network.

Play ZM's Flesh, Forne and Haley. This is a viral food trend that originally when I heard about it, I was like, yuck. and then I thought actually that makes everything better so why wouldn't that work and apparently tastes like something else so you get a soft serve ice cream you could go to your nonies or just your local you know

tip top dairy yep by the way excuse me I don't have a dairy with ice cream scoops now oh no because yeah Hidden's closed yeah you're a real fruity

yeah like closer but not not at my local shops yeah You could just get a two-letter tub. Keep it at home. I'm not doing it myself. That's not part of the joy. Part of the joy is going in and being like,

oh, I think I have a little cookies and cream. No, but if you've got a scoop roller, you can kind of make it close. No, no, no. It's not the same. Anyway, so say I did this, what I would do is I would go in and I would get a cone of vanilla.

Yep. Just vanilla is what you want. And then I would have to walk at home because I don't believe the dairy would provide this service. Then what I would do is I would microwave I have a huge bowl of butter. And then I would roll... Well, how much money have you got to melt away like this?

In this scenario, infinite money. Okay. Then I would roll the cone into the butter, like dip it. Wait, the butter is still hot or it's cooled down? It's melt, it's liquid form. Okay, but it's cool. Because otherwise it's just going to melt the ice cream. Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't have it straight from the micro.

You'd have it cooled down a little bit. Dip it in butter. But it still needs to be liquid. You can't have it resetting. No, no, no, no, no. So cool, warmish, I guess. Yep. Do it around that, dip the whole entire vanilla ice cream into that,

sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top. Buttered ice cream. Butter dipped ice cream. What? And people are going like, excuse you, and then trying it and being like, no, it tastes like salted caramel or like Dolce deliche or like just kind of a buttery, creamy, caramel-y thing. That's really good.

I feel like, I'm going to try this. I feel like this would be better in a bowl with ice cream. Oh, so you're going bowl and then pouring... And then butter and then sea salt. Yeah, drizzle some butter on. Yeah, drizzle the butter. Because otherwise, like, you're not going to get the ice cream home. Is it salty?

Oh, my God. That's a soft serve. So that's like, he's basically dipping it into like a chocolate. Like you would a chock-ch-ch-ch-top. Yeah, when you see them do a chalk, a chock top in a mist of whippee. And the butter kind of hardens again because the ice cream's cold. Like chocolate. Oh, okay.

I don't not get it. Also, that video. Not want it. That video shows him running back from the ice cream shop with the ice cream. With the ice cream. So that it doesn't melt in time. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, totally, totally. Okay, that's so interesting.

I want to know. Also, maybe it doesn't melt because it's soft serve. Yeah. You know, like, it's just got a slightly... That's definitely... It is funny watching him. It definitely is soft serve look. Like, you've got to have the whip, whip, whip, whip, whip.

Yeah. But I reckon this would totally work on it on a tip top. on a hard pack roll of vanilla, it would work. Although, and you could have it super cold too. It's great for you, that was it? Oh God, no. Yeah, but you're having an ice cream.

Like, it's sort of when we haven't started off, this is a healthy little tree. No. And you are, like you say, you're having ice cream as well, so. Yeah, why not dip it in butter? Why not dip? Do you know what? Next year, I'm going to be dipping my whole life in butter. As a metaphor.

As a metaphor, right. You know what I mean? Like, how am I going to make this day better? That's going to be a saying Well you know what you're going to do You're going to dip that in butter Yeah I mean pity it's just the most expensive It's ever been The ZAMS podcast network

Like one or two bars? Do we fear at the back of my house, if you're out in my garage, there's like nothing. No, yeah, I have to go out onto the deck and stand in the corner to get a, like a traditional funk. But it's still wild that these days that there'd be any, like, areas of bad reception that houses are in.

Where's all the stuff? Wasn't everyone at the end of last year being like total coverage and they were all the ads, like, I'm in the middle of the bush and I got full coverage? Yes. Where is it? Starlink. That's the teaming up with Starlink. We just quietly didn't do that.

Or RIP to the Canterbury Black Panther and RIP to 3G, that is the top six. Play ZM's Flash, Forne and Haley. Okay, I understand how when your algorithm gets into a little, you know, vibe. It's because of you. How, yeah, how it feeds itself because of your behaviours, right?

I do hate that you just linger on something. Maybe because you're not paying attention or you look away to talk to a friend and then it's like, oh, he likes this. Yeah. And no, I'm like, no, no, no, no. Yeah. So I understand that.

I understand how my algorithm broke and has stayed broken because, yes, I have then gone on to send it to people to go, what the hell is this? Yeah. Which exceeds the algorithm. It's engaging. I just don't know how we go.

got here. Now, my algorithm will not take long before it shows older women sort of flirting with the camera and then suddenly flashing

their bare exposed genitals. And I didn't even know this was uploadable on you show me. You show me one of these before I was shocked Yes so you showed us the one The lady she's holding is it a basket or something

A box in front of her They'll be holding a maker bag or a basket or something like this And they'll be like hi today I want to Show with you my new fruit Basket and it just goes whoop and lifts it up quickly And there are her And it's like not even a second of genitals And it's genitals or boobies

And of course now that I'm talking about I can't find one But if I look like that in my late 70s I'd be pretty stoked But I don't know if you're flashing people young enough To be my grandchildren on Instagram It is like every third video for me It's something's happened, it's stuck Also because like Instagram or meta and Facebook

Are so strict with like even boobies and like nipples and stuff. Yeah. They will literally take people's accounts down because they posted a photo at the beach. And you know, I was saying Granny's Winsock. But it's just like, it's like a quick little flash of Granny's Winsock. Granny's Winsock and I tell you why it's about five knots

coming from the west. I don't know how to fix it either every time. And I'm being genuine here. Every time it comes out, I go dot, dot, dot, dot. Non-interested, high posts from. When it came up last time, you showed us, and you send it to people and so that just tells Instagram

you want to see more. I know. It's, do you know why? I have a friend in Sydney and he's got a very dark sense of humour and I send these things to him all the time and because it makes me laugh the idea of screwing up his algorithm.

Yeah. But in doing so, it's really, it thinks that I'm into women living with those dolls that are like babies, a day in the life with a living doll or granny's flashing their bare genitals. Yeah, this is the thing.

You've got to be careful. Someone just messaged saying, Haley, their AI. I don't know. No, that didn't look. That one you showed us before, didn't look AI. Yeah, I've definitely seen multiple grannies, and it's definitely not giving AI. Also, you can tell AI because it's got like four flaps.

Yeah, they can only fingers or flaps. Listen, it's been a while, I know, but there are four flaps fledged in real life. Oh, there are? Oh, damn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They generally come in pairs. There was a thumb down there. Yeah, well, no, that's called something else,

but I won't say it on here. Play ZM's Flesh Forn and Haley. Let's Fawn and Haley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Apparently this is my idea. I don't recall.

There's lots of things I don't know. So there's no reason we ask this question. Did you watch that video I sent through that really? yesterday those guys having a fight on a golf course? Yes. Imagine getting your ass handed to you in public like that. How embarrassing.

He literally tosses this fellow into a lake and he comes back out for more. Every time he punches him he out, he went, bam, bam, he actually said it out loud. The guy was twice as size. Also, just embarrassing fighting as a grown adult in public. It's yuck. There's a way you can do it. You can

express yourself. You can sort of process emotions and say them in chat. Words. With words. Okay. And ears. Sometimes words can hurt more than first. Yeah. So let's be careful with them, with our little word fists or our, whatever, four eyes. A tongue, no, different. No, they're not like tongue punches?

Different. Vaughan. What? No, I'm saying it's the equivalent, isn't it? Not using your fist, you're using your tongue and it hurts more than a punch. Vaughan. Have you ever been in a fist fight? I got punched once in the face, and I got such a Friday laughed.

Who punched you in the face? I was in a club for the homosexuals. Wait, you got punched in a gay bar? And there was a girl dancer, and she was being, I don't know, she was just being very obnoxious. And I sort of laughed at her and I turned around. And then I found a tap on my shoulder. She clocked me in the jaw. I got a black eye.

It was quite fun. Wow. But it was a lesbian that hit you or a gay man? No, she was giving big hag energy. Oh, okay, right. But, yeah, I got a fright. I would never think to punch back would be such a embarrassment. well 81% of people said no they've never been in a fist fight

19% of people said yes they have been in a fist fight okay here we go Rachel's been in a fist fight with her sister for not letting me buy Burger King after a night out of Rototos and Takapuner in the 2000s and then we both call mum at 2am like we're the victim love this

night out of Rototos oh my god that's the that's retro oh my god Was Retonos the one with the balcony, eh, on High Street? No, that was on the shore. No. What was the one on high street? Not Rikinos?

Yeah, it was because it was another one of the islands. Was it Rikinos? It was another one of the islands in the harbour place. Rototos was the big one on the shore. Yeah. That's now the elephant wrestler. I think so, yeah. Is that right?

Yep. It was along that strip anyway. Yeah. Tell you what, get me down to the Pornamu Tavern. Remember that little Northcoat hotspot in the early 2000s. I do not. Yeah! Connor said,

I broke my hand in one backing up a mate And the other was because a drunk idiot Punched me because I wouldn't give him a slice of my pizza But I swear I'm a good widdle boy I never started a fight in my life Early 20s just got me thrown in the couple In the middle of a couple Yeah right, okay

Yeah totally Something you just find yourself in there Yeah, you're in the midst of it Yeah I caught my boyfriend at the time cheating on me Said Libby We were at a party I chased him at the front door And I punched him in the face

And that is when I hit rock bottom But I also learned I can throw him in punch and I knocked him on his ass. Okay, yeah, right. Okay. Good to have that moment of self-realization. Yes. Rachel said,

I was a teenager and my sister thought I was wearing her jeans. I was not. Things got heated and I smacked her in the mouth. I instantly ran and hid it in the park until she calmed down, though. She puffed in the face. Ruthless. A girl went to punch my friend, said Dana, but completely missed and punched me in the mouth.

Does that count? Oh, wow. I'd say you're actually. You've taken it to the face. Laura, on from Carl Gurley. in Western Australia. Need I say more. A Cal Girlie.

They love to throw down in Cam Guilie. There's one way to sort this out. We're going to do it the old Calgoorily way. So I messaged in, I did get punched by a lesbian. Okay. And I truly wasn't having it away with her girlfriend. I actually fancied her O the R&A. Oh, no.

Okay. So she was sort of coming in with a flirt energy. Yeah. And this lesbian got it wrong. Misread it. Right. Shout out to her lesbians. 966 if you're a lesbian.

Yeah, just 966, just say I'm a lesbian. Just a lesbian check-in? 9-6-9-6. Actually, it's important to check in on your lesbians at this time of year. Yeah, our lesie listeners. Otherwise, we have to send out search and rescue. Yeah, because we rely on you. Yeah.

Because they'll either be at one stage of the lesbian relationship. They'll be in the fascination stage where they're looking to move in as quickly as they can. In the first week. In the board stage where they're kind of looking to pack the new hall and move out again. Yeah, yeah, open things up a bit. Especially this time of year, so. Yeah. 9-6-96.

Yeah. I'm a bouncer and a female one. So I've gotten myself caught up on a few brawls trying to de-escalate a situation, said tea. Wow, okay. Tea sounds like confused feelings about this female bouncing being in the middle of it all. Just taking it in her stride.

Janelle said, check-out lady ripped my dress and my boobie fell out. So yeah, I punched her. Wow. What? Why would a check-out lady rip your dress? And this is why they have body cameras in supermarkets now. Sorry?

Why would the checkout lady rip your dress? Why I've got a boob out? And the titty fell out and you punched her. It would be weird though if you're in like a supermarket and it was just out. I've never had a titty out in a supermarket. Hand or heart, I can say it. I've had a titty out as wearing a singlet in a supermarket and maybe a little tiddy out of it. That's an upslip.

Is that a bit different? Yeah, that's acceptable. Thank you. Brooke said no, but boy, do I have some serious punchups in my dreams. Oh. I think you need to get out of your system. Yeah. Like take a boxing class or something.

Yeah, you go to body combat. And Phenelia says. Finalea. Phenella. F-E-N-E-L-L-A, Phanala. Fanella. What an interesting name. Very beautiful. Phanella Dagger. That's not a real name.

That's a fantasy name, that's a stage name, isn't it? That's a beautiful stage name. Fanella Dagger said, yes, I've been in a fist fight, you should have seen the other girl. She was fine, I was not. You should have seen the other girl. Hell of a thing to admit. Nella can't throw down. When you're called Finela Dagger, you've got to be able to hold your own.

Yeah. I really fight you've got to be able to. So today's silly little poll, we said, have you ever been in a fist fight? and only 19% of you have The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley If I may abuse my powers of radio My mum is listening from hospital this morning

Oh Patsy, how did the operation go? Yeah, good, she had a thyroid dectomy, got one half of her limb in thyroid removed And I said to her yesterday, oh, there's a keyhole or down the throat, no, they just slit her throat. Oh, yeah, they cut it open, are they? Oh, she's going to have a cool scar.

Well, she's going to hate that I said this. The surgeon did say to her, they'll try and get the scar in one of her natural creases. What the, dude? Was he trying to upsell her on the nip-tuck package while she was there? Well, try and land the scar right in one of your natural creases. Wow. Ouch.

Yeah, but mum is listening from a hospital. She wanted to shout at her nurse Stevie. Oh, okay. Yeah, Stevie said she was jumping in the car. I'll be listening. So, Shatby's finished the shift and she's... She's off, man. Did Stevie give Patsy extra jelly?

I don't know, yeah. Because she's been well-fed. Yeah, nice. Well-fed. Well, that's good. Anyway. I had another question. What about my mum's natural folds?

No. I think the scale will hide quite nicely in Patsy's natural creases. Leave Patsy alone. I know. She's doing well. All right, that's what I was going. Is she listening on traditional FM broadcast or is she on the I-heart? I believe Steve is on traditional broadcast.

Patsy's on IHeart Radio. On the app. Fantastic. Here we go. No, he's just thought I heart now. Because it's not just radio. It's all media. You can get our podcast as well.

Set them as a preset, a favourite. Yeah, yeah, lovely. Dang, dang God. We are checking up. We're in the year, baby. We are KB. Iron. You can't say we didn't tick them off. Now, millennials, gather around the cauldron millennials.

Because there is a trend going viral called millennial optimism. where, in particular, Gen Z, younger people than us, because they exist now. We're not the youths. We are, we are, the youth of the nation. That's what we used to sing when we were the youth of the nation. This is almost the aesthetic. This is the time that they are kind of glorifying at the moment.

Because you know, 90s was big for a bit, the fashion and the trends of the 90s. Now it's like mid to late 2000s, full kind of emo, 2010s, your emo vibe, you're kind of grungy, your owls. Hipsters? We really got into owls. Hipsters. I reckon hipster fashion will be next.

I reckon that's going to be... Like the mustache mugs. Oh, yeah. Apple photo booth selfies, you know, grainy, unfiltered house party photos, owl prints everywhere. Do you know my daughters are getting a digital camera for Christmas? Why? Like a low... Sony, Cybershop.

Yeah, effectively. like some knock-off brand, cheap one that doesn't take great quality photos. Yes, I keep seeing people with them. Because they want to step back into that. Yeah. And I was like, I've got a box in the garage and I'm sure it has an old cyber shot in it.

Oh, it was definitely a vibe. But now they're glorifying it and being like, they're calling it like nostalgia and like, yeah, like it was so optimistic. And all of us were like, no, it wasn't. Like no one had any money. It was... So what do they call it?

Millennial optimism? Are we yearning for a simpler time? Yeah, yeah, definitely. I was just going back to a 2006. Like, that's the selfie there. You've got to have the flash on. Yeah. For a 2006 selfie.

That's actually not quite high enough angle. That was almost... Yeah, there we go. Yeah, that's great. Is that you? Yeah, my little emo. Little emo, 2006 Sproul. Right.

I would love to see an emo revival because I... But it won't be an email to be hipster. Yeah, but it's kind of 2006 to 2016. So we're kind of... Kind of both. Kind of both. Right.

The alty kind of hipster vibe. But it's got to be very performative. I saw the luminaires are coming to town. Nothing says 2010's like the Lumineers. Yeah, Mumford and Sons are back. Yeah, they're coming back. Yeah, they're coming back, yeah. That's my boyfriend in 2006.

Look at them. Flash. I was on Sony Cybershot. Eyeliner on. He's wearing my jeans, my belt. He's got a wristband from some kind of... Ben, that's Ben. That's Ben.

The first love of my life. One of many, probably. Play ZM's Flashawn and Haley. Have you hurt yourself taking a selfie or taking a photo? Maybe you were too close to the edge of something. I mean... You're on a cliff. So, do you know, okay, there's lots of research around the stats of people who have died.

taking selfies. And between, how long are that, over a six year period, the last six years, about 379 deaths. And that's just in like, I guess, from selfies, just from news stories. Common causes drowning, falling, transportation and other, including animals, electrocution, fire and firearms.

So this story from China, this was a, like a popular tourist spot with hikers. It's like a outcrop of rock. and a guy is coming over over them and he's waiting to get a photo he's just, he's in position there, he's going to take a selfie and the rock Oh no! And basically

What's he dead? No, the rock gave way that he was standing on. He fell 40 metres. I was going to say. And rolled 15 down the bank through the tree. So the trees saved him. It's an ick to see someone rolling and not being able to stop themselves. Yeah, get a hold of yourself.

Grow up and stop roll. Be a man. Get on your feet Cheese You know the Irish Chase the cheese wheel Down the hill I'm like that running

And you're like Wow this is cool And then someone falls over And you're like Ugh I stop rolling It's so icky But like any

It's those Scandinavian Fjords Oh yeah Fjords Where they climb out on the rock Of those just absolutely not. Yeah, I know. No thanks.

It's crazy. It just looks like a rocks kind of balance there and I'd get out there and I'd be like, I'm too fat. You might not have even hurt yourself taking a selfie, you know, in a precarious position. You could have just been on a flat ground

or just taking a step backwards of a step. Oh, totally. They were just trying to take a nude photo and they put the timer on and walked back and realized they needed to get back further to fit the whole body in and they tripped over the, you know, coffee table and smashed it.

And you're naked. That's an egg too. That's up too. 0,800,000 we want to take your calls now. Text in, 9-6-96. Have you ever hurt yourself taking a photo? And we want to know now, when you've hurt yourself taking a selfie or a photo, because

a tourist was on like this rocky outcrop? Kind of a little like peak, right? Yeah, and he sets up for a selfie and the rock underneath his feet just gives way and he falls 40 minutes. He's okay. The question is, did he get the photo? I don't know.

How good it would be if it was alive. Oh, yeah. The first, like, foot of the fall. Also, he's probably lost his phone because you're not going back for that. Hopefully he's immediate upload to the cloud. Yeah. Kimberly, good morning. Good morning.

How did you hurt yourself taking a photo? Well, I was in a stage show a little while back, and a whole group of us on the last day were doing like a group photo together. outside this monument just to sort of commemorise the show everyone else was already there by this monument and me and a friend

we were running late so we were running to go to get to this photo. Unbeknownst to us there's a big metal chain right in front of it. Jesus. And neither me or my friends saw it and ran full tip into it

and got taken out by it. I've been... the last show with, like, big scratches all down our faces and bodies. Yeah. I remember I was running once at night and I cut through this old, like, service station, and they had a chain, like,

ankles, chandel. And I didn't see it. I've done that, and it is the most horrible thing ever. Yep, yep. That was horrible. And, of course, there was 100 other people sitting there watching this happen, and it was... I can look and laugh now, but I wasn't at the time.

Kimberly, I simply must know what was the show. What was the stage show? It was called The Gang Show, Auckland Central Gang Show. You never heard of it. Well, you're a theatre, girly. You should know. Yeah. I simply must like a variety show that the Scouts and Guides do.

Oh, wow. Okay. Haley was expecting you to say, like, Fattenhamers or Cats or something. Yeah, Santa. I have no time for cats. Yeah. I hope to see you on stage again soon.

Like a cabaret before, but. Oh, great. Yeah, lovely. Kimberly, thank you. Let's hook you up with the Fletch, Forne and Haley, Rock Quest, Bad Names, Calendar for 2020. We need you to stay there. I'll write your address straight on a post at night.

I love that, okay. Some messages, and whenever you hurt yourself taking a photo or a selfie. I work at a Wannery, and it was cruise shipday. A Wannery. An American lady was sitting on the side of our fountain trying to take a selfie, and she toppled back and fully submerged herself on the fountain.

I mean, that's a dream come true. I would love to see that. That's a dream. What a dream. Also, second about those low wire chain fences. I ran into one full speed as a kid flipped me over and cracked my head on the concrete. Yeah.

Bruised my brain and I couldn't sit up for three days. They're horrible. Many years ago in the Cook Islands, my partner was trying to capture a big group of stand-up paddlers on a lagoon on a full moon night. Oh, beautiful. That would have been a lovely snap. Yeah.

He forgot there was a swimming pole in our waterfront resort while using my brand new camera and tripod and fell into the pool, dislocating his ankle and breaking his tibby in his fibula. I'm ruining... I'd imagine submerging a camera's not good either. Yeah, that would ruin a DSLR.

Yeah. Cheapest. I was posing for a cute mirror selfie while getting ready, move my hand, touched my curling wand. Oh, yeah. That smells, I mean. It does smell when you cook your own flesh, eh?

Yeah. Or burn your own hair. Yeah. I took a selfie with a cute horse after doing a horse ride trek thing and as I took the photo, it bit me on the shoulder. I need to see this photo. I hope the photo is mid-bite.

Oh my good. One of my photo. favorite photos. Remember those three girls, they're on some island, they're in bikinis, and there's a stingray, like, coming up behind them, and they're like, ah! They're all freaking. Yeah, I love that. They're all freaking for the weekend.

Someone said, yeah, I've fallen out of hill while trying to take a selfie, and even as I was falling, I thought, I bet this looks yuck. I'd be here this is so ick and embarrassing right now. I'm never going to recover socially from this tumble I've taken. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Christmas gifts,

can signal relationship trouble according to experts. Christmas is nine days away, almost a week. It's nine days away. Thursday next week, right?

Yeah, oh, I've got to start getting organised. Okay, anyway, don't worry. What do you mean? You've got your tree up weeks ago. Yeah, I know, I've got to put my under all decorations. What have you got less to do?

Yeah, I've got a ham. Yeah, I've got a ham. Yeah, I've got a ham. Ham and lamb rack. Ham and a lamb rack. And, yeah, we've got veggies. Patsy's got a plan. Patty's got a plan.

Patty's got a plan. But we're not doing gifts. I'm not doing gifts at all. Anyway, so Christmas gifts can signal relationship troubles. Here are some red flag Christmas gifts, according to experts. If you receive these, it could be a bit of like a... Okay. Consumable gifts like chocolate champagne.

What's all with that? These suggest a fragile or short-term relationship. Used up, not kept. And they're not awkward if you break up. Okay, because when you said Christmas, like chocolate or wine, I was like, that's not a bad gift, but yeah, from an actual partner that is a terrible gift because that is something you'd just give a friend or a work colleague or, because that's a great gift. Your hairdresser or your whatever, totally.

But like the person that you're with, there is no thought behind it. What if it's a Terry's chocolate orange? Okay, well, now we're talking to it. But it's got to be in addition to a gift that you've thought about. Have you seen the cherries, the Terry's chocolate orange lorubrine? Now, I can't remember. They've done a Tobleron, Terry's chocolate. You buy a Tobleron, and then you buy a Terry's chocolate orange,

and you open both, and you put the wedges of orange in between the Tobleron. Holy moly. Holy moly. You'd need a couple of chocolate oranges to... So we've got Nugie chocolate, we've got orangey chocolate. Wow, that's amazing. Okay, but if you've gone to the effort to make me a Terry's Toblerone, cherry's chocolate, Toron.

It's showed effort. It's crafting. I just bought me a bottle of refino Prosecco and go on like I've seen you drink this. It's a great prececo though. It is a great prosceco. It is a great prececo.

Okay. What if the refino was packaged up with something for an apiroce spritz? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or some nice glasses. A cocktail cat. Yeah, a bit more thought. It's the thought, isn't it?

Yeah, but a pack of those, what are those seashell chocolates? Excuse me? No, the Girliani. The Gilly Gourli Goli. The Julienis, the Juliani's. The Giuliani's, those seashell chocolates aren't legit. They're so expensive.

No, no, no. Yeah, and then they've got a creamy bit in the middle. Yeah, no, no. Do you like those? I love them. Oh, my God, I love it. I always have one if someone's got a box. Do you know what's in the middle of them?

That's why Whitaker's Hazela is so good, because it's got that praline stuff. That's what they call it, yeah. Okay, well, I'm saying this is a red flag, but boy, we're getting excited about these seashell chocolates right now. Yeah, but again, like a gift from a workmate or a friend, yes. But from a lover, that's not a good gift. Okay, more red flag Christmas gifts, according to experts. Flashy or overly expensive gifts early on may signal poor boundaries are emotional imbalance.

If it's a gift that makes you feel uncomfortable, you should listen to that feeling. So if they come out with a bloody, you know, $900 handbag and you're like... Are you buying any gifts for any men friends? No men friends will be receiving gifts. No one's receiving any gifts for me this Christmas. Love is dead. No, love is a life. Love's just not commercially.

Love doesn't need a cost of fortune. No, I don't need anything. I'm just going to say, I think he might like a Toblerone Terry's Chocolate Orange combo. You did. I say we all make one of these. But I reckon the Toblerone has to be white. And then you've got the dark milk, Terry's chocolate.

Stop it. What are you? Smack him. You can buy a dark, dark. Dark chocolate terries orange. Dark chocolate terries on. I'll go dark chocolate to-toplet toblah. Toad.

Tock it's so hard. Tock it's a table, man. No, I don't know. There will be no gifts for any people ever in my life. Okay, more red flagged Christmas gifts. Last minute or reactive gifts. People who are the ones you can tell that they've quit, quite quickly scrambled. Like the service station sunglasses?

Yeah, only after they found out that you bought them something. so it's showing low emotional investment so it's kind of like quickly get like one of those sort of like you know like bathroom kits from the pharmacy you know with like a rose-cented shampoo and you're like awesome dude no gift is a red flag

after three plus dates I'd say longer especially a red flag if you have been physically intimate with them well you're telling me I have to buy a gift if you've been sort of physically intimate intimate

intimate yeah into it you've got to give it you got to buy a nobody this is absolutely outrageous the ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Flesh Fawn and Haley

You were so close. What is it, Gina? Ania. You said Tanya. Ania. Ania. Non-traditional. Yeah, it is a bit non-tradish.

I told you. It was a non-traditional name. Wow. And it's a Disney princess. Who's Anya? Ania's Elsa from Frozen. Well, no, but she's technically not a princess. She's...

No a face. Because Arna's, because Aransas's the queen. No offense. But when you said Disney princeses, as you went straight to Cinderella and Rapunzel. Aurora. It wasn't going to be Cinderella. I told you wasn't on the list.

Okay, well, unfortunately, Gina. Terrible into that. No cash new today. We will, yeah, we will hook up by Fletchwan and Haley 2026 calendar. Our Rockley's bad names. Money can't buy. Yeah, well, that's true.

You can't buy them. The ZDM Podcast Network What's going on? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, yesterday, us three friends decided to go out for a little end of the year lunch. Just three of us?

Because I had a voucher. You had a voucher. You did, that was great. We probably wouldn't have gone. No. Yeah, no, I don't think so. It was good, though. Went to our, like, favourite place

and sat up and got the yuge, didn't we? Yeah. Got the yuzes. We actually just ordered the same thing every single time. They always say, are you sure you want to order this? Oh, my God, every time, eh?

When I get this, when I get this. Was she French? Yes, you felt French. Bold of her to question us in the Vietat. I know. After the Rainbow Warrior incident. Yeah, yeah, how dare you? Bold of you, woman in French descent.

That is definitely at least the third time that Doves questioned if we've ordered too much food. And we finished every single mouthful. I could have gone a little bit more. I could have had, if we had one more little thing of people, pot stickers, I wouldn't have been mad. No, I've done. Dumblings, yeah. So good.

So we sat there and actually, Fletch was last to arrive. I was first to arrive. I arrived before the restaurant opened. Yeah. Yeah, wow. You were there just before 12. Sit. Yeah. So you weren't there when they first asked us still or sparkling. And I said tap.

We go tap. Yeah. But I, because we had the voucher, I was like, well, we should have gone sparkling. Yeah. Sparkling water is supreme. You sat down and had literally said like, I think we could go up a sparkling water. I was like, no, no.

And it's Antipides. And it was already in the glass. I was like, well, okay, tap's fine. It's cheaper. I mean, they charge the wazo for that. It's a cool bottle. It is a cool bottle. And at what point?

So we'd like finish the meal, right? Next time I'll bring my soda stream because there's no rules to say you can't bring your own soda stream because you're still buying their food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think we could have the soda stream under the table, get their tap water or just bring a full bottle

I think we bring a pre-refrigerator Oh, we'll bring a chili bin Under the table just be like And then if we're bringing the soda stream We're going to bring a couple of beers Yeah, and then Yes Yes

And then every time we need it It's under the table Right Okay but in fact business idea They should do a portable Soda Stream device Yeah they should actually Well so we finish our delicious

lunch and you know perfect ratios yeah i by the way had been with sitting at the table beside us were two um lawyers we say highfalutin they were highfalutin one kept referring to someone who worked for her as her baby lawyer i was eavesdropping as much as i could they hadn't met before because they weren't familiar with each other's family setups like kids and stuff they was a date or a legal legal a professional lunch a legal lunch somebody's client was picking up the tab. Yeah. So I was kind of having a little eavesdrop.

Both representing people in the middle of a divorce and they're having lunch together and they'll have a laugh and be like, man, we're making bag. Yeah, man, we're rinsing these guys. And I might send her an email and charge them 85 bucks. Yeah, oh my God, cheers to that. So then they got up and left before us and they hadn't finished their bottle of antipities. That barely touched it.

Three quarters full? Yeah, yeah. That had a minimal top up. I'm like, waste not or not. Do you guys want some sparkling water? I reached across and I grabbed the antipides. Yeah. And we all pour the yuck.

Let's face it, yuck tap water into an empty glass. My initial thing was we can't take their water, but then they didn't drink out of it. They didn't drink. They were gone. They just poured it into a glass. No lips. No lips. No lips G.

No lips G. So you topped up our little, you know, previously still water glasses with some beautiful sparkling antipities that we weren't paying for. Still chilled. And they looked clean, like clean ladies. Yeah. Yeah, they were pretty... Yeah, they looked fine.

Well, as I said, no lipstick. I'll be on, I think they looked hepatitis free. They gave me big hepatitis free. They were at least three of two of the main three hepatitis. That we knew. That we knew of. They might have been struck with a light B. Yeah, but B and C.

Or they might have had A, but they go B and C. They didn't drink out of the bottle. So we end up finishing their bottle of sparkling water and it was free. It was delicious. It was free. It was free. Did you check the bill? to make sure because at one point

the waitress came over to clear their table and I was like oh no she's going to clear the antipities because we put it back on their table because we don't want the remnants on our table but then she got a hands full and we're like now we're good drink up boys and girls because we've got to finish

this antipities we certainly didn't pay for Vaughn did at one stage glance at the lawyer's table when they'd left and there were a couple of big juicy pieces of meat left and I said you are not touching those I said you're not allowed to touch that that's disgusting and that's a bridge too far.

Boo, let me get. But, you know, the best part is as we were finishing the bottle of antipodes before the waitress went away, the woman returned from the bathroom and paid at the checkout and totally saw us finishing her antipities. She did.

She did so pommos. She went to the bathroom. She probably had too much antipides. And she needed to go to the bathroom and then she was coming back to her sea. Coming back to pay at the till which we were sitting by And she saw me reach her onto her table Grab it, fill up our glasses one more time

And that's why we shouldn't be allowed in nice places Really We're a bit pov-o and shame The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Flashfallen and Haley Fact of the Day Day, Day, Day, Day, day, day Yeah

Do-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. All this week, it's Chris Misconceptions. Things we think about Christmas, that maybe had a different origin or is just completely wrong. Today, Missletoe. Okay. A little smooch under the Missile-Tow. Kissing under the Missletoe. Wow, when Missletoe entered our folklore, it wasn't a romantic plant to be smooched under.

It has its origins in North mythology And mistletoe is responsible for the death Of the god of light, joy and goodness, Balder How did he die? Boy, I'm glad you asked. His mother, Frigg, I'm never guessing his mum's name. Got it. Frigg.

Frigg. My name is Frigg. I'm a woman. I'm woman. Made every object in the world promised to never harm her son, Boulder. but she forgot mistletoe thing it was too small and harm was to matter.

Oh, no. And that's where the trick's the god Loki comes in, not Tom Hiddleston from the MCU, but the traditional Nordic. Oh, I was going to say is that. Still the trick's the god from the MCO. Discovered the loophole made a spare from mistletoe and tricked Balder's blind brother Hoare into throwing.

Hoare and Frick. The family names are terrible. And Boulder doesn't have an E in the end, like E.R. So it's like Grindr and Tinder and all of the dating apps that dropped the last E. And he died. So it began its folklore life as a symbol of betrayal and a murder weapon, and the kind of story was you can't ignore the small stuff.

Right. Small stuff can still ruin everything. After that, apparently Frigg, the mum. Frigg cried tears that became white mistletoe berries, and she declared that mistletoe shouldn't be held responsible for this, and it shouldn't said be a symbol of peace and forgiveness. Not office party kisses. Not office party kisses.

So from there, it became, it used to ward off evil spirits, and people would make a mistletoe wreath and hang it on the door. Oh, okay. And mistletoe is in season in the Northern Hemisphere Christmas. Right. It grows in their winter. Oh, yeah, yeah. There's an abundance of it.

So you make a wreath and hang on your door to ward off evil spirits, protect your home from lightning and bad luck. Huh. And then, of course, it became festive, the red, the green, hang it on around that time of the year, so it became associated with Christmas. The idea of kissing under the mistletoe didn't come until the 18th century England

where it became an office party game. Yeah, by probably creepy guys, I'd say Which is weird. It's described as an office party game Because there wouldn't have been offices in the 1800s They're like we have them now Not like we have them now, no Maybe factory get-togeth parties, 18th century England

And so there'd be a mistletoe with berries And every time you walked under it And someone had to have a smooch You had to pull off a berry Just sounds like Do the old men trying to kiss their secretary as It does Bye, give us a smooch love, you're under the missile tab

Um, so a kiss was owed And as soon as all the berries were removed No more kisses were owed Probably just get a ladder And get up there and remove them If you worked with some creepers Yeah, yeah, if you didn't want to smooch You want to get out there pre-party

And pull down all the mistletoe berries Otherwise if you're into being smooch You could pop them back up Yeah You stick them on with some blue tack Pop them back up Could blue tack them Yeah

Or a hot glue gun So today's misconception about Christmas Is that Missletoe hasn't always been About having a smooch under It's a float chart goes Murder Weapon, Magical Plant Fertility charm, awkward party rule. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day.

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. The ZN podcast network. Play ZDEMS, Fletch, One and Haley. This story comes to us via the via or via. or via? This story comes to us via via. Via. The story comes to us from.

That's what I'd say. Yeah, but I'm debating if it's via. That wasn't the debate. It wasn't the debate, Vaughn. You're not throwing in which one do you prefer. If you chose via, would you say via or via? This story comes to us through the BBC. By way of, by way of the BBC website and a story about a teacher's assistant

who has been banned. Just tread lightly if you're going to Google that and just lead to the search term BBC. It was all awesome. Yes, yes. Really treed-lily. You could go via or via some very dodgy websites. Well, a former Welsh rugby player

and a teaching assistant has been banned from classrooms for two years because he told students many times that he had killed 250 people as a sniper in the US Marines. I don't reckon we share that with kids. Yes Wait so Welsh ex-rugby player

Yes Because the teacher aid now Was also a US sniper Well that's what he claimed Vaughn they were bogus claims Oh they were bogus claims He told the kids he went by the code name Kill Switch and still owned a gun

And so I don't know if he was trying to keep these kids in line By saying I wasn't on board until he had a rad code name I think he was just trying to get these kids on side By saying look if you're not If you're not well behaved I'll snipe you in the playground You won't even see it coming Cheapers

He after some investigations he's been banned from classrooms for two years. And he was not a sniper in the U.S. military, the U.S. Marines. You do think that, man, teachers must get so worn down. Oh, my God. I don't know how. I don't know how more of them don't snap. I...

Like when we were at school and our teachers absolutely snapped. Oh, yeah. When I first left drama school, I did do a small little placement teaching some... It was basically like keeping the third form as busy while everyone was doing their exams. Oh, yeah. so they put on like a little show and they got recent grades to do it and I at one point told them to shut the

up. I screamed it. I don't think you're allowed to say that. Then I was like, I'm not a real teacher. I'm here for a short time and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was like, right, shut the up. And I said the full word. And did they... Oh, miss, Miss, Wellington College.

Oh, okay. Third formers, yeah. Wow. They'll remember it. And they said miss. Yeah, miss, miss. I was like, shut up. I'm 22. Come. down. Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. Do you remember something a teacher said to you, whether it was just an outrageous claim or it's something they said to you personally that stuck with you?

And all these years later, you always remember a teacher saying it to you. Our PE teacher went through disciplinary action for telling a student she had a camel toe. Someone just texted. I reckon we just leave that. Some Instagram responses, Marie said in sixth grade, my teacher pulled me in front of their class and shamed me in front of everybody about how bad I was. was it multiplication. Oh, that's not going to help you.

No. Your brother is the talented one. Maybe just leave it to him. You could be a stage hand. Somebody said... Some people are better off the stage. You'll never amount to anything I was told. I did lighting in the school production.

Yeah, for good reason. Well, your brother's the talented one, so just leave it to him. Yeah, okay. Maybe you could be a... Scott has some pipes on him. You'll never amount to anything. I'm a psychologist now. Yeah, wow.

And do you think that's because the teacher once said to you'll never amount to anything. They're like, I need to get to the root of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That really plagued me my whole life. Our teacher essentially said that she could get her husband aroused without touching them physically. What the hell?

Sorry? How did she do it? Tell me, nine six months. Teacher told me I wouldn't be able to join the police because I'm too nice and would just smile at all the criminals. How's that going for them? I don't know if they've joined the police. They're not. Their profile picture isn't they've been the police before?

It sounds like they've joined the police, though, doesn't it? With that kind of, yeah. kind of spite. A teacher told me I was the least enthusiastic person that ever met. Sorry for being depressed. Clinically. Sorry for being depressed.

I'm at school. What was the meme I just saw? It's not symptoms of depression. It's blues clothes. I scratched my head once and the teacher yelled out, do you have lice in front of everybody? Oh, that stays with you.

To be fair, though, you want to get on top of a lice outbreak. You do, got one. If you need a knuckle down on the nits. Yeah. Let's knuckle down on the nits was actually my Rock West band name. Are we doing another calendar next year? No, it's going to be a different thing. We had inspirational quotes on horses. Yeah, we can still just keep having fun with our friends, though.

Yeah, we can't. Let's be honest, you're weak. That's what my PE teacher said in front of everybody. Oh, no. PE teachers were shockers. Yeah, they were. They were more likely to be the lads, eh? Yeah, that's a lot.

Okay, well, oh, 800 dials at them as a number. Give us a call. 9-6-96 to text in. The lovely George is in. Getting a roasting. I haven't even started yet. Well, we're talking about the things that your teacher said to you that you can...

Stick with you. Still remember. You must have been a ratbag, loudmouth show off. I was a goodie-good, but always got on my reports. Doesn't know when to stop talking. But, I mean, look at where we are. Extracted easily. Got a job out of it.

Steph, good morning. What do you remember a teacher saying to you? Morning, guys. How you going? Really good. I've got a good Dargabille store of me from Dargawaw, my school. Oh, Kielder. That's my mum went, Dargy hi.

Yeah, it's a good school. I remember back in the fourth form. Say it again, Steph, but mean it? Say it again to believe it this time. Yeah, say it, but try to make it sound like you actually believe what you're saying. Wait, Steph will take you, well, she will fight you. They're tough from Dagabildo. They're very tough.

We are. We'll fight. No, it was sports form, and I walked into like social studies, so this is a throwback. And I, you know, walked in, made a joke, la la, la ha, ha, ha. And then my teacher goes, first impressions, make everything. and that was a terrible first impression. And I was like, okay, thank you. And then, so, what, I'm 40 now.

So a few 30 years later or however long, and it was at my mum 70th this year, and that teacher was helping cater for my mum 70th. So I got to tell her exactly what I remembered and how it made this out. And she was like, oh, I'm so sorry. And I was like, it's okay, but I've never forgotten. Wow.

A teacher has a bad day. Yes. She says something immediately forgets it when they get home and smash a bottle of salve. Because they have to Because their teachers You try doing it without alcohol And they forget it

But a kid remembers it like 40 years later That's crazy. It's insane. Yeah. Steph, amazing, thank you. Some more messages to finish. I was called insipid by a teacher. Wait, what does that mean again?

I was called exasperating by a teacher. Like, in a sipid's lap. You're nothing. You're not worth of white banana. Whoa, that's wild. Yeah, insipid. My teacher's saying. Lacking flavor, weak or taste

So vanilla You could just Vanilla's nicer No but I like vanilla And it's got a spice Lovely little bit of natural vanilla In seven Um

My teacher said to me I have anger issues And I said yeah bitch So I guess Everybody had a point there Yeah bitch Um Teacher told me

No one's gonna pay me To stare out a window Well I'm a truck driver So just around Yes I as a 10 year old girl Was told I had a very masculine voice My teacher

That's that sort of stuff That's nice No What about our voice teachers that Toifakarni told my friend Ria that she sounds like a crack addict when she talks normally. That's stuck with her and then she started smoking crack and really got into her.

She didn't. I had a teacher and we were learning about geology. Yeah. And she called an underground aquifer, an underground quifer. Perfect. The uncle lost their minds. Queefer.

Now that's a talent. Aqueifer. I don't know if I can read this teacher's name and I want to have to prove this in a court of law but a teacher once told me Blondes have more fun up the front and sat me next to the boys right up the front of his class

Oh york! That's yark, yeah That's yark. I'll never forget one of my teachers telling me Haley you're making everyone wet and the girls absolutely falling apart but we were learning about rain like clouds and that kind of stuff

and I had a hose and he was trying to show us. And I had it and he was like, Haley, Haley, you're making everyone wet. And, man, I never lived it down. Still do, though. So I was just going to say that. Still got it. Hey, guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough. They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends.

So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the shitter podcast that the company makes. Yeah, same. You know, the real losers out there. Same. Yeah, like that. Oh, no, no, no, we'll just. Yeah.

Maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Oh, no, but only after Alves. Yeah, nah, no, don't do that. And not more than ours. Give us a sexy little review though. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
