From the ZM podcast network This is Fleshwood and Haley's Big Pod Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse The Biggest Brands of the lowest prices Welcome to the show Fletch Vaughn and Haley on the 18th of December Wow, wow, two more days of work Does that mean we've got a week away?

We're a week away? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Thursday next week is Kerehemi-e-me-te. Is what? Kerehemete. Try again. It's Christmas. Yes.

I'm just still getting my stuff out of my bag. You're all right. We were just having a yarn. Bourne's been gas bagging. We're having such a good yarn. We're having a good catch-up with some old friends. We're nearly at the end of the year. Do you know, coming up, I actually fell asleep somewhere very strange for the first time ever.

We will. Tuesday for a nod-off. Yep. I had a hygienist yesterday and I was like closing my eyes. I was like, this is nice. It's nice, hey. Until they start scraping your teeth and you're like, screw you. Okay, I'm awake now.

Million dollar summer. Zetim's million dollar summer. We launched this yesterday already. We've got a few people in the drawer. So listen out for the activators this morning. They're going to play at 7 and 8 o'clock. You go in the drawer for your chance to dig for $1 million. Now, if you don't get the million dollars,

you don't walk away empty-handed. No, it's not a million or nothing. $10,000. So amazing. Listen up for the activators this morning, 7 o'clock and 8. The top 6 is coming up. And Rumba.

Rumba. The robot vacuum cleaner company in America filed for bankruptcy. Isn't that sad? Doesn't always mean it's over, does it, for a company? No, it's just tough. Tough. Rumba is the first sort of robot vacuum cleaner

gave us some hilarious moments. I've got the top six moments that Rumba gave us free bankruptcy. Also coming up, an amazing stat out of IKEA, which only just opened, what, a week or two ago. Yeah, yeah. And a world record for us New Zealanders. We should be proud.

We should be very proud. When it comes to something in IKEA, next on the show, though. It's not a Shannon's hack, but Shannon has seen a hack, and she has tried it herself. Her review on said hack next. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod.

You may have caught yesterday that producer Shannon's a little bit sniffly at the moment. She's just got one of those summer end of the year, nearly at Christmas little sniffle flus, don't you? I feel like a kid in primary school. Yeah. Yeah, snotty nose. She's wiping her nose on her sleeve and... Doing that a lot.

And that yesterday her approach to it was to try and get some spicy food to help blow this thing out. And, of course, had a bit of peri-nays on a bachelor's handbag chock. I got so many DMs of people agreeing, by the way. I bet you did. I've got a safe space. I think that led to one of my favourite phone and topics of the year. What was too spicy for you? And I think the top of things were Uncle Ben's Mexican rice.

Toothpaste. toothpaste and someone's husband's eyes up watering when he eats barbecue crackers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, barbecue rice crackers. That's insane, eh. Text of the week. But still a bit sniffly. And so yesterday you tried a, I don't know if it's viral. It is viral in terms of you've got a vibe, probably some snot and virusy snot at me

nose. Sometimes I tell you guys stuff is viral and I realize it's just my little world. Viral meaning it came across your TikTok. Yes, yeah. But a way of unblocking your. sinuses. Yes. People are getting a little a little vibe with their friend, you know? A little yeah, yeah, yeah. A little like bullet vibe.

Yeah, a little bit. Yep, okay. And holding it to their sinuses and apparently it like works. Well, there's tap zones, right? Yeah. You tap when you're all congested and got sinus. I didn't know about a tap zone. Yeah, there's three of them. There's either side of your nose, sort of halfway down your nose under your eyes. If you just touch their, like even just touching there's quite nice.

And then there's one in the middle of the forehead. And it kind of just releases the sinus. I'll always give it the old sinus tap. They're vibing. Could you use the Sanisfy a pro too? No. It's more of a light suction. Okay, well, I've never used one, so I wouldn't know.

But on the same, on the same. Get your mum's old, um, wall-powered Mitsubishi. No, God, not. It's going to say the wards are too much. No, I've done, um, the massage gun. I've put that on the sinuses before. No, that's too hard for that. I also put it on my ear and it vibrates.

No, you shouldn't do that either. That's pretty why I'm bleeding from the air a little bit. Yeah, probably. No, I saw this a while ago and then now that I'm sick, I was like, well, a girl's got a research, you know? I've got a little one in my handbag if we wanted to try this in the moment. It's got bad crumbs on it. No, it's clean in terms of it hasn't been near.

Well, you haven't used it. No, it hasn't been near. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, if you want to try, I mean, it'll be bag dusty, but don't worry. No, I think you have to try it on your own nose. Yeah, don't try it on my nose. No, no, no, I can play my son. No.

Well, while you're getting that, I can tell you about my experience. This is why, I will just say, this is why Hallie's handbag always gets some put down the other lane on the airport security as of what's in her handbag. But, you know, I tried it, clean, obviously. Yep. And it was a weird experience, but it worked to an extent. Okay. I would recommend this as like a ha-ha fun. I feel 10% better.

Right. You still sound a bit cloggy, though. Oh, I mean, like, yeah, I think I'm still a sick kid at school holidays. Yeah. Oh, it's dead. Don't use the pulse. Don't use the pulse. I accidentally hit pulse, and it was weird.

But do you put it on the bridge of your nose? I kind of went around, yeah, like you said, the tap zone. Okay, how's that feeling? Is that making you feel clearer, Haley? I get it. It sort of feels quite nice. Sometimes I just like to vibrate my brain, too. Oh, yeah, that's nice on the temple, actually.

Yes, me, forget stuff. Play Z-N's Fletchhorn and Haley Guys have got a little Good little insider knowledge here So this, by the way, this little insider IKEA factoid, this isn't public knowledge, isn't? Not yet. Hosking isn't across this.

I feel like it's definitely going to be, it's definitely going to be released. But breaking news. This is breaking news. From someone on the inside. Yeah. Shall I get a breaking news thing? Okay.

Because Mike Hosking's up there with news that everyone knows. No, he's on holiday. He's on holiday. It's a Michael Hosking. Mike Hosking has more holidays than any beneficiary I know. Like that guy works less, you know, hours than... Not me, I work less hours than time.

Here we go, here we go. Breaking news. You've got to give it, good morning. I'm Vaughn Smith. Good morning, I'm Vaughn Smith. BBC. No, LWC. Little white.

Little white. Not a big black one. That's actually not what the BB. BBC stands for it's British Broadcasting Corporation. No, it's not. Everyone knows what BBC stands for. Okay. It's big. Well, we'll leave it at then.

A certain colour. And it's down there. And it's down there. Okay, sure. Vaughn Smith, LWC, breaking news. New Zealand broke the record. I reckon medium. Go medium.

No, I like to set low expectations. I've seen you getting out of a pool before. Oh, thank you. Yeah. That was a cold pool. You're all right, mate. The New Zealand broke the record for the highest revenue in any Ikea restaurant globally and one day

$114,000 worth of meatballs consumed. And that's a record. Wow. Yeah, apparently. Breaking news. So the person that I got that information from

I said, say, what? I said, did you hear this from? Is this broadcastable? She said, I'm not sure it came from Academy management. They announced it in one of our meetings. Apparently, Perth was second. When they opened, Ikea, Perth was $98,000 of meatballs in one day.

One day. I see a little fatty fatties us. Little fatty, fatty, fatty kiwis. And Purt's only probably second because of how many Fetty, fatty Kiwis live in Perth. Yes, totally. Gobbling up meatballs. I wouldn't, I mean, the meatballs are famous and you do go there for them.

But I wouldn't have thought on the first day that's what people would have been there for. But yes. A hundred percent yes. Yeah, if you're going, you're like, while I'm here. Yeah. They're just because they have not been available to us, whether they were crap or not, we'd be obsessed with them, you know? It's like American burger chains.

They're not any better than the burgers that we've had all this time, but we get excited because we haven't been able to get them. We do, we do. So, have you tried them? Either have you tried them ever? No, I've never been to an IKEA's store. I've been to an Ikea in Australia before, but you've never tried them. I've never got the balls, because apparently can get them take away,

ha, balls. You can get them take away, like a frozen set of meatballs. Right, have them at home. Yeah, you can. think? Yeah. And maybe that's how New Zealand has got them as well to take them home. They're added to the total tally of balls that we ate on the opening of IKEA. I contributed in a different way. I couldn't make it out there.

No, I'm going to, I'll go next year when it's died down. It's got online shopping too. I've been looking because, you know, I'm going to do a little why, I don't know, small renovation next year. But it's going to be on a low budget and they do like kitchens and stuff. So I was looking. They do online stuff. Well, if you go to any Airbnb. in Europe. It's all IKEA. It's all IKEA. The spatulas, the bed, the cap of the couch, everything. But what I'll do is I'm going to get on IKEA kitchen, but I'm going to put some vintage

knobs on it. You know, so it's more. That's going to look well. Will that look weird? No, no, no, no. Trust process. Okay. Trust me. Have I failed so far? No, you know. You've done really well. Yeah, thank you very much. Play Zat M's Fletchbourne and Haley. Well, Rumba's filed for bankrupt, they're the original robot vacuum cleaner. Kind of became synonymous with robot vacuum cleaners and other brands. You'd be like, oh, that's the Rumba. Yeah, but they've been hit by tariffs. And apparently, it's called Chapter 11 in the US.

And the main manufacturer of its devices, a robotics company, will take ownership of the firm. So I guess a brand will live on in some way, shape or form. Well, I've done some thorough research on this. to get us the top six moments that Roomba gave us before bankruptcy. Right. Number six on the list. DJ Roomba, if you watched Parks and Recreation, as many did. I never did.

I didn't. Which is weird, because I think I would have really liked it. I feel like it's a show that we'd all love. And we haven't. No. Should we make it our show? Sure, we can. You know, the three of us could...

Let's watch an episode tonight or something like to get in the morning and reflect. I'm going to start Arrested Development again. I just finished season one of Arrested Development on a maybe a fifth. free watch in every time. So good. All right. So DJ Rumba is Tom Havavid, which is Aziz Ansari's character. He has a Rumba with an iPod and

speakers take to the top that played music as it claimed. Okay, right. Yeah. It was in Leslie and Ben's wedding episode. It was accidentally killed by Jerry. Okay. And his first appearance. But it was like a legendary Rumba moment. Number five on the list of the top six moments Rumba gave us before bankruptcy. Rumba's going rogue in videos of them like toddling off

down the driveway of the football park. Yes. I love those so much. Get out of the Because if people had like their garage link door, a door open and it was flat and level, they'd just make a go for it, wouldn't they? Yeah, well, they just wait for walls. Yeah. And in the app, you can be like,

find me or something, because if it gets a little bit lost. Yeah. And it's like, I'm here. I'm here. I'm over here. Yeah. And you can find out that they'd do that and it'd be taught enough down the road. I can't wait to have one when I've got a level house. I really want a lawnmower one. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I want that. I want that. I want that.

They look amazing. They look so good. Until you fall asleep in the sun and it mows your face off. And then I fall asleep in the sun all the time. You have to be very flat for it to mount you, I think. Near my baps would. I know. It would have been run up your arm. Oh, tape up my arm.

Taper up the toes. There's a fruit and veg shop out our way that has one that constantly does its lawn. Someone tried to steal it. And apparently it screams. It does. It's like as soon as he is a certain way away from its base, it knows it's been stolen. It's been picked up and it's been stolen.

and it just like lets out, it emits an extremely high-pitched scream. I would love to be the recording of that. Like, ah, help us! Help me! I sort of imagined it was more a siren, but you guys think it's a VO, a voiceover of a man screaming. Yeah, someone in the Lord. Put me down! Ow!

Ow! Take me home! Where are you doing this, Ruby? Which brings us nicely number four on the list of the top six moments rumba gave us. The screaming rumbre, a YouTube video showcasing a modified rumbre fitted with raspberry pie, you know the little computer thing, and a Bluetooth speaker that was programmed to scream in pain and frustration in a human voice

every time it bumped into an object. Ow! No! When he does this little bumper, ow! It's good stuff. Number three on the list of the top six moments

Rumba has given us. Ryan Gosling had a Rumba moment. He was doing an Alan de Generous interview. Yeah. And he said about how he had a Rumba. He said it's a complicated relationship. I feel bad because it just tirelessly cleans his house

and he wanted to buy it another Rumba friend so it wouldn't be lonely. You humanised it there. Yeah, he did. He did. Number two on the list of the top six are Rumba moments, pre-bankruptcy, cats riding rumbas. Oh, my God, the best.

Yes. One of the... I think if I get one, my cat's too heavy. It's verging on seven KGs, six to seven KGs. That'll be the machine, eh? A little half clean your house and run out of batteries. So cats wearing various costumes. There was one with a cat dressed as a shirt.

shark while writing a Rumba with the Jaws theme song that is the most watched one of a cat on a Rumba. And number one on the list of the top six moments Rumba gave us pre-bankruptcy poopocalypse. 2016, a Facebook post by a man named Jesse Newton went viral. His Rumba

ran over a fresh pile of puppy feces whilst doing its schedule clean and it just spread shit throughout his entire living room like it was paint. Yeah. Yuck, that's not good. Yeah. The manufacturer eventually responded and created new models with pet owner official promise, P-O-O-P, technology that would detect and avoid if there was a pile of pill on the floor.

Because they've got pretty smart now, haven't they? Whereas back in the day, they're just molo to anything. Follow a pattern and go and spread it everywhere. That is today's top six. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play Z-N's FlashWorn and Haley. I'm doing back-to-back days of just back-to-back appointments. Yesterday, what was it?

Where did I go at 10 o'clock? Can't remember. Can't remember. But I did, I had like hair appointment, singing. Voiceover, you did a voiceover. I did a voiceover. I did a voiceover. I did a voiceover.

I did a hair appointment. I did, today I've got nails. You did a comedy gig last night. I did a comedy gig. I did a gyno and I did a wax. Oh, wow, okay. And I did the wax after the gyno. I know.

Okay, yeah. Poor churn low, you know, poor gyno. Oh, so the, she got the pre. No, but wouldn't it be. a bit like after a wax it gets a bit red and flamed. That might have maybe raised more questions and...

Yeah, and why'd you do that for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Voiceover extensions and then wax, I know, gig, and then today I've got some therapy, a tattoo and some nails. It's like just getting ready for Christmas. Really cramming it in there. And we're tired, right? Everyone's tired at the moment.

I did a vibe check yesterday by the way at this gig. Everyone's tired. Everyone's crawl into Christmas. Regardless. of industry or whatever, regardless of the year they've had, we're all tired. So yesterday, no wonder I fell asleep during one or two of these

appointments. Which ones? Well, I will say when I was getting my hair done, more on that tomorrow, because it was quite a spicy appointment, long teas. When I was getting my hair done, I started to feel quite tired and the two coffees weren't working, so I had a whine. And I think that's what might have

influenced the next appointment where I went to the gynecologist. And I was just getting a little checker up on that surgery I had earlier in the year. Oh, yeah, that's right. She's fine. That's good. What's all good down there?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said, you can't even see it. She popped the hood. She's like, looks great. Well, I popped the hood, and here's the moment where I fell asleep, because I was very tired, and my gynecologist churned, she said to me, you know, jump in the room and we'll have a lookie. Okay.

And you get in there, and there's the bed, there's a little paper sheet, on your pop. And because this is a proper gyno, not just a pap smear, we've got the stirrups. We're up, legs slung like that. So I take off my bottom half and I sling my legs over the stirrups and I'm waiting for churn and then I was listening sort of to the humble, sort of soft humble of rumble of the room

and I just sort of wake up and churn's in there between my legs having a... I wake up to the insertion. I'd dozed off in the stirrups. Yeah, yeah, definitely the time of the air for a doze off. Yeah. The doctor didn't wake up. you up first?

Nah, no, I mean, we've known each other for years. Yeah, right, okay. She's said it a million times before. I did, I dozed off legs akimbo in the stirrups. I'll tell you, maybe there's a trick in that. Did you, um, did you kind of come to, and you're like, oh. It's an odd thing to wake up to. Yeah, it is.

Because it's not of a fun nature either, so it's just sort of like a blurt. And you're like, hey, woo-hoo. Good morning. But maybe. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good afternoon.

But maybe there's a trick. You know how, like, some positions are nice to sleep. in like you tuck on the side or put a pillow like this stirrups yeah well I was I had the hygienies yesterday and even though that was like you know it's in your mouth and I was there was a time when I was like yeah because I was shunning my eyes I was like it's the rumble yeah the medical rumble because it's always kind of quiet in these clinics yeah I dozed off getting a backwax once at this time a year even when they were ripping out there yeah yeah just kind of like then you must have been tired I didn't fall

face down, hole in the table, like the massage table. Hole in the table. Yeah, oh, and there's not. Sounds like my wax yesterday. Play. Play Z-N. Fletch forne and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley, silly little pole, silly little poe.

Okay. 38% said, yeah. I'm a bad sport. I mean, I don't like losing, but I'm not, like, I remember playing social indoor cricket and some, like, grown men acting like absolute a-hoes or, like, abusing the reft or, like, social, like, social netting. Yeah. Same, like, there's nothing social about that.

Yeah, people pack in tansy, like, I'm not going to do that, but I hate losing, but I'm not going to do that. That's what Matt says. He said, when I was younger, I was a bad sport, and then one day I saw someone acting like a total dick when they lost, and I was like, is that what it looks like? Yeah. I can't be that guy. Yeah. It is embarrassing when you look from the outside in.

Yeah. I did psychometric testing as part of a job interview once, says Abby. Are you sure that wasn't that Scientology table? Where you hold the things and they take your aura scorer or whatever it's called? And then all of a sudden you're with John Travolta giving half of your wages to some bloody church and waiting for a spaceship. Yeah. It's just on the other side of the moon, by the way. Is it?

Waiting around me. It's close. It's close. I was told I had a really low score on competitiveness. I realized that that's so accurate for me, but what I had thought was me feeling competitive in life. Like, I want this job over somebody else, was actually more fueled by me being insecure about being left behind. This is a bit deep, I realize, as I'm typing this now. But it really helped me learn about myself.

Yeah, that's nice. Sophie says, I'm a Leo, enough said. A Leo's competitive. They must be. I don't know. I don't believe in the star sign. Competitive.

Thingy. That's such a classic Libra thing I just said. Do you know what I mean? I don't believe in the star sign. A Leo ruled by the son lives for recognition and success. The competitive stems from a deep desire to be admired and respected. Oh, okay. So there you go.

She's competitive. She's competitive. Bunny said, I'm a sore one. Not bad, Bunny. Oh, because you know where. Not bad. Miss Bunny. Easter?

Not Easter. Okay. Yeah, you're doing really well. Chocolate? Lindet? Lindet? No. Yes.

It's a hot cross bunny. Honey bunny? Honey bunny. Oh, no, right. You don't say, I'd love some hot cross bunnies. No one says that. No one says that. Reference as well

I mean it was layered Yeah Bunny none of the above Says I'm a sore winner Not a sore loser If I win I rub it in their face Oh no That's worse

But if I lose I can admit defeat And respect the victor Okay Respect the victor Earl said no I just cheat to win Yeah fair

Okay Earl Tessa said I'm an adult now So I don't try That's the easy way To not be a sore loser So I just refuse to play I must win

Otherwise I'm absolutely worthless, says Marts. So I'm feeling there's a sore loser there. Only if I know they cheat. I'm an honest winner, says Brittany. Bronwyn, I've succumbed to the fact that as an adult, they suck on a lot of things. So I just take the hits with grace.

Hubby's a sore winner, though, which pisses me off. Yeah. Georgia, not always, it depends on the situation. Nine times out of ten, I'm a good sport, unless I'm playing Monopoly, because that game infuriates, even the best of us. So we asked you today for silly little poll, Are you a bad sport when you lose?

And 62% of you said no. The ZDM Podcast Network. What's going on? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, I think Survive could be a good theme, perhaps, for an award. Maybe for you, Vaughn. That's going to give myself the award for. Yeah.

Surviving. We want to know now, 0800 dial Zat M, 966, you might need to be a bit creative. If you could give yourself an award for 2025, what would the award B. This is an idea sparked by a woman who has done this for the last four years. She realized that actually going into a trophy store and buying just a blank trophy is quite cheap.

And so each year she awards herself something at the end of the year. One of them was a just get through it year. One of them was, you know, she advanced her education. She got a doctorate or something. Do you? I mean, we all have those. I mean, kind of humble brag. Oh, no, you don't do you? No, I don't have a doctor. No, I went to a polytech.

Sorry, guys. We've got a PhDs. But we don't. Okay. Bring it up that much. Yeah, anyway. But it's a nice way of going, like, if it was just one award, I'm sure you've achieved many things this year. Yeah. But it could even be something just small that you've done. It could be funny.

It could be serious. Yeah, it could be serious. Maybe you had a complete life change. I don't know what I would give myself an award for this year. It's just kind of been... I would say the supportive friend award. I say you're the glue that's how to all together. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. The glue award. For the glue. us award that to you. Okay, the glue award for sticking everyone together. For holding it all together. For holding it all together. But all the pieces were like

around you. What would you give yourself the award for this year, Vaughn? She's surviving. Okay. Survival. Putting up with some BS. Yeah, a lot of BS. Yeah, the BS gobbler.

Right. Of 2025, that's you. The gobler. Weird, though, because he was sad, but then we took you on a friend's holiday to Bali. I'm happy, but then I'm sad. Oh, okay. What do you need?

And more barley. More barley, please. That was a once in a blue moon thing, Vaughn. Don't expect that every year. When is the next blue moon? I would say I would give myself the award for most candles burned. The next blue moon is May 31st, 2026. I'm just saying, get book him.

Oh, you want a full moon party in? Right, get book him. I would say candles burned. Yeah, because you do, you need to start saying no to things next year. No. No. You're saying no to saying no. That's the first thing I'll say no, do.

Right. Okay. So saying no. And my year of saying no, first off, January 1st, no, saying no. So you're giving yourself the award for burning the candle at both ends. Yeah, yeah, the award for setting the candle ablaze, both ends in the middle from all angles. Love that. Okay. And here we are.

Fleth, Vaughan and Haley. Right. Right. It's time to deal with something that's been bubbling for a while. Oh, okay. Guys. Yes. I'm considering changing my last name to Christians.

Because... Born Christians. After a, you know, a year... Wait, Hank, slow down. Okay, I'm getting... Not what I thought your big announcement was going to be. Because after a year of not having YouTube premium... I've been invited to join another family's YouTube premium.

Sorry. I'm sorry, what? We just literally needed YouTube premium 10 minutes ago. We had it. You'll notice that music came on, no ad. And I bit my tongue at the time because I needed to make the announcement now. Wait, what? The Christians.

I invited you to mine. Who were the Christians? The Christians. Not actual Christians. Christians. The surname is Christians. Yeah. Have invited me to be part of their YouTube premium family plan at

no cost to myself. Wait, and the show can use the Christian family plan. The Christian family YouTube premium plan is now essential to the success of the show. Are you taking a handout

from a family you don't know? Who are these people? I got a message of somebody on Instagram saying, hey man, I hear on the show often we have to sit through a wix ad or you can't go and use the YouTube clip you want to use

because you're not paying for YouTube premium. This is like when you lead your car to a stranger. They said, we would like to extend to you an invitation to be on our family plan, to which I said, don't be silly. I can't. I simply can't. They said, well, what we've got is we've got the family plan which allows for four accounts and there's only three of us that have you an idle account. There's an empty slot. I said, no, no, no, no. And they said, please let us do this for you. So I... Right. Guys, I'm back. But hang on. They're going to see what you watch. You know that.

Because when I invited you to mine, I've got a single person, why not a family thing. So it would have been a shared and you would have mixed up my videos with yours. No, this is the family profile. We've each got profiles within the family. And I don't think we affect each other's algorithms. I also don't watch anything untoward on YouTube. Okay, so no, under a standard YouTube premium family plan, other members cannot see your individual watch history, likes or comment.

Everyone has a private account with their own personalized content, ensuring privacy. Yeah. Okay. Wait, so now does that mean that every time we play some, like a clip or... We've got to thank the Christian's family. The Christian family plan. But that's going to take as long as sitting through the ad. Every time we play a trap or anything.

Just before I play this of YouTube, thank you to the Christians family who have invited me to be part of their YouTube family. Yeah. Now, is this a limited time offer? Like, what if the Christian family fall on hard times? Well, that's... I'm part of the family now, so I feel like... Where is this family from?

You've got to learn more about them if you're jumping on on the family plan Yeah I do well I've got to catch up with them for Christmas now So I've got to after lunch I've got to say to my mum and dad I'm sorry I'm going to go to my YouTube family You are so embarrassing So you abandon your own family I didn't want to I'll abandon my own family

Well you know they're not paying for my YouTube premium Wait did the Christian's family have like a batch Do we know if they've got a... That's actually a really good question I don't know a lot about the family I'd just been adopted This family could have a jet ski or something I mean, what kind of family rocks a family plan?

That is it, that's expensive. Yeah, okay. To have a family plan. Let's hope there's a batch in it. Well, they could be a batch, had a little holiday, maybe a ski chalet, you know, like a hoonie. Can you bring your two-piece mates? Oh, of course.

Your family? We're family. Like, do they have another slot? Because I pay like 20-something bucks a month. Yeah, so do I. I am going to ask them if they can kick one of their kids off. Free up a slot. Screw the kids, eh.

That's on you. Right, and their kids are, they should be ready to leave the next. I cannot believe you have, I said no, three times. They were very persistent. Good from you, actually. I couldn't say no or fourth. It was just getting rude at that point.

Okay, well, fantastic. So now we can watch anything on YouTube. Maybe we should just play something and then thank the Christian family YouTube plan. Have you logged in yet? Have they given you the log in? I've got Christmas lo-fi music. Yeah, let's do that, okay. Straight in.

Thank you to the Christians family, no ads. Come on, you've got to play something more exciting than this. Okay. Fantastic. What? do you want? Or like a classic YouTube video you know, chocolate rain or something. Yeah, I could go chocolate, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there won't be

an ad. Or double rainbow or something. And there won't be an ad. It's amazing. It's a classic. Play as a YouTube classic. Straight into chocolate rainbow, Tazonde. And all thanks to the Christian family plan. Thank you again. To the Christian family plan. I don't ever want to know their full name, their first names.

I don't even want to know. They're a family. We've got to find out their names at some stage. Yeah, what about two-factor authentication? Producer Shannon raises a great question. No, they just said, what's your email? And they pumped it into the slot. Right, okay. And I'm in, and I'm on YouTube premium.

You're in? Like, yeah, I don't know. It's kind of a, it's still a bit weird to me. Oh, yeah, we don't know these people from a bar as I, but they've, it's a lovely gesture. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth? Yeah, no, I won't live to. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I can listen to the Hamilton soundtrack.

does a bastard off son of a boy and a scarpz I think you've got to buy the Christian's family some kind of chritsam present Yeah totally Some fudge or something like that But I mean there's no point of me spending

Too much money on the present Because then I could have bought by a YouTube premium Play ZDM's Flashawn and Haley Today I went to visit a friend Before heading to a gig Yeah And that sounds sketchy, isn't it? Yeah, a friend

I've got other friends outside of the studio, guys. Weird. And I have, since before I met you and I will, after I leave your lives. You know? Oh, wow. Yeah. I went to go visit a friend. What, like friends in heaven or something? No.

Well done I've let it wear out. Yeah. Yeah, now, see, now you've got to probably get it done quickly because when you go back to your sexy friend, he'll notice that you've had it. Oh, yeah. I don't think Botox made you look any younger. No.

I don't think so. I don't think I've ever seen someone with a forehead that's not moving and thought, oh, wow, found a youth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've been tired, so they've had bags and stuff. So I was really caught off guard by being ID'd. Yeah. She said, I'm going to need to see your idea.

I know. I know, I know. So then I say to the woman, I was like, oh, I was like, I don't have my license on me. I don't know where it is. Illegal, by the way. I'm driving without my license on me, so lock me up. But she's not worried about that.

She wants to give me my fizzy Prosecco. So I said, I don't have my ID. And she said, I'm sorry, you look too young. And I went, wow. Which means I'm 17. Once they get on that buzz, eh, they get pretty, like, no offence. And I said to her, so I said to her, I was like, well, thank you. Wait, are they doing that thing like, if you look under 25, then you get ID, like that?

I'll take 24, yeah, I'll take 24, I'll take 17, I'm 36. I mean, sometimes they get a bit carried away, don't they? Well, no, not yesterday. I must have been radiant. And I said to her, I'm 36 years old. I said, I can show you a photo of, I said, no. I can show you a photo of my passport. She said, no, I need the ID.

I said, I'm sorry, I don't have it. I said, I'm 36 years old. She goes, no, you're not. So she's like, complimentary, but a little bit angry. I'm pumped up. I just got glasses last week. So maybe she should have gone to spec savers. She should have gone to spec savers, maybe.

Why? She was squinting? Was she squinting when she was. No, she was open eye. She was staring me right in the eyeballs. Hold her phone at a distance to be able to read it? Not that I noticed. No, I said I'm 36.

She said, no, you're not. And I was so happy until I realized I got back in the car, I didn't have any wine because she just genuinely wouldn't serve me. Because of my fresh, fresh looks, that I looked literally 17. Were you dressed up as a schoolgirl for your sexy friend? No, no, I was in my Haley Sprout clothes. You're really trying to struggle to find out why this has happened. It's just in my Haley Scrowclothes.

The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. It's Sabrina Carpenter Tears on ZM, Fletch Fawn and Haley, it's nine minutes past eight. We want to know now, in a crisis, when you flailed, and you ran away. This would be me. I... Well, you melted down, or you just like, ah, or you froze. Yeah, I don't think I've been in a huge, huge crisis, but no way when I ever step up.

No way. Well, this has happened because there was a mugging that happened. and the boyfriend, it was a couple, boyfriend, girlfriend, the boyfriend ran away and hid. And what did she do? Did he leave her, did he? He left her.

He left her. Oh yeah, I don't know you think, I don't know you come back for that. Yeah, he said, ain't no sense both of us getting robbed. Far out. Far out. Chivalry, eh?

Yeah. Now, this happened, it was gone viral because obviously she's recounting the incident on TikTok. Happened in Columbia. Oh, great place to be mugged. Great place to be mugged. The mugging was caught on surveillance camera.

It was shared to TikTok. And instead of the boyfriend rushing to her aid, he hid behind a wall during the muggy. And you can see here, they're grabbing her bag, and that's the boyfriend there. He's like, I'm out of here. I'm out. I'm out. And everyone's like, wow, chivalrous. Break up with him sort of immediately?

Yeah, I think so. Well, because it was someone had posted this from a security camera, I don't. I don't think there's been any follow-up yet of, like... I mean, I love the ever-changing gender roles, you know? And I love women, women's independence and, you know, standing up for yourself. However, if your girlfriend's getting mugged, I reckon you don't just abandon her. Yeah. It's my general feeling.

That's literally what he's done and just hid behind a wall. And she's, like, struggling for the bag. Like, she's just not, like, giving it over. No, God, no. She goes for it. Also, in daylight as well. Like, it's crazy. Isn't the rule, you let them take it?

Yeah, you let them take it. Hell no, man. Yeah, and you don't walk around. It's deadly ponies. They're not taking that. I'm sorry, I'm under deadly ponies. Okay, but I probably wouldn't walk around, you know, like South America or, I don't know, an African or anywhere, you know, like dodgy.

The boyfriend ran away and hit behind a wall while his girlfriend fought to keep her bag from being snatched. I don't think that's a relationship that's going to last. No. No, definitely not. My husband's been a professional firefighter for the last 15 years, so he's fought a few fires.

At Guy Fawkes, we had an accident where a firework blew up in our five-year-old daughter's face. instead of stepping up and doing something useful, the only emergency services personnel present and ran in literal circles panicking. Daughter's fine, but I'll continue to give him shit about this forever. Yes, you would. Hannah, when did you panic in a crisis? So it must have been a couple of years ago. I was driving to work one day super late because I'm always late to everything.

Anyway, accidentally rear-ended the car in front of me, ended up riding off her car even though it was a little nudge. Sorry, Jesus. Anyway, popped out the car, pulled over the motorway. We were in the fast lane as well. So everyone is beeping at us, dressed out about being late to work. Anyway, I was like, let me just give you my number, and I'll put it in your phone as girl that hit my car.

Yeah. Anyway, it's been a few days now. I'm like, why hasn't this woman called me? So I go to work a couple of days later, and there's this email chain that's been going around saying, there's this girl with long black hair and a red car that's crashed into my car, and she's given me your 0-800 number. So I was running so late to work that I was freaking out,

and I put my 0-800 number for work in her phone. Oh, 800? And she's like, oh, my God, I bet she was thinking this woman has absolutely given me the run-around. Yeah, and just went away. Well, you were just in a situation and you panicked. Yeah, when you panic, you can't remember your number. I totally.

I mean, have you sorted it out now? Yeah, it's all sorted out now. I saw the email, and I called her back immediately. and I was like, I'm so sorry. I was so stressed about work. Also, everyone at work now knows that you rear-ended someone too. Worse keep secret. Thanks, you call, Hannah.

Tracy, when did you panic or run away in a crisis? Good morning, everyone. Good morning. I took my now husband back to South Africa and we went to a teeter sanctuary and I was all cool cucumber of, hey, this is like where I grew up and the Game Ranger took us into a private

part because I used to work there where the teacher was having little cups and so he just had this giant stick and he was giving us a full brief that when we're in, don't panic, don't run, you know, just stay cool and so we walked in

and my husband was just like, could we really be doing this? And I was like, yeah, yeah, it'll be fine, it'll be fun. And she started smiling and running towards us and I was I just freaked out and like flight or fight kicked in and I was like I'm out of here I'm just going to be faster than you right so wait you said I'm going to be faster than a cheater Tracy the fastest man were no no faster than my husband oh so right you're just saying the cheater's going to take down the slowest of the two yeah right okay I mean fair enough right and what happened did the cheater get you no no no he's the guy just like yelled and shouted and slated

and slammed his stick on the bush, and she stopped a couple of meters. But, yeah, I wasn't the most popular when they both came out of the cage saying, do you remember the brief of do not run? Yeah. Wow, that is brilliant. Tracy, thank you. Gina, when did you panic in a crisis? This was just recently on Saturday night.

Okay, fresh. Goodness, fresh. Yeah, fresh. So, we hired, long story short, we hired a school bus for our job. Out of Fongrow Young Farmers' Christmas do. Yeah. What a bus. Yeah.

Yeah, we got to one of the local watering holes. And everyone got their lemonade. We found an empty table. Not realizing we'd actually sit at the set of the books table. I always do it. I just move the name, reserve for Sam. Yeah, I just put that on another table. Yeah, piss off, Sam.

This is my table now. I'm the captain now. Well, no one sent anything from the group. So, like, oh, sweet ass. And we ate all their hot ships. Oh, okay. Wow. No one knew because we thought, oh, someone's ordered us.

Some hot ships would have solid. Yep. And all their pizzas came out and we're like, we're getting dinner at the next place, what's going on? And then we very quickly left. What, so you just panicked and left? Yeah, well, I was like, oh, no, and we didn't find out until we got back on the bus that Sam did us a solid and paid for all their. I was going to say, did you pay for it?

So someone took care of it. Yeah, yeah, whatever guys. Okay. But it was a little bit embarrassing. Yeah, just run away, get on the bus. Yeah, fair enough. Just turn a blind eye. Gina, thank you some messages.

And when did you panic in a crisis? When I was 12, the Brown in the oven caught on fire and I just ran out of the house leaving my 8-year-old sister in the house. oven that was on fire. I went to see my friend after surgery in hospital and when I was in the hospital there was a big earthquake and I hid under the hospital bed and just absolutely abandoned them. They were on top of the hospital bed. They're in

the hospital bed and you're hiding under it. You're hiding under it during it. Just yelling out to them. Good luck. Yeah. Hope they just stay still, I guess. Me and my missus got mugged once and I started crying and shit myself and then she broke up with me a person after it. Crying and panicking. So hard you shoot yourself is next level low.

That's a lot. That's hilarious. When my daughter was two, she was in a pram and we were watching a local rugby game and the ball got caught and I came flying towards me and I just ran away and left the pram right in the path of the ball. I mean they won't remember it. I fainted at the very early stages of the Christchurch earthquake who came to when it was all over.

Oh, wow, okay. Cheapest. Only time I frozen didn't know what to do is when I'd move to Australia, forced a stuck garden shed door open, squeezed into the shed, turn around and it was covered in red back. Redbacks. Redback spiders. Yeah, so I just stayed perfectly still and just like, I hoped they were going to leave.

Just shut down. It's their shed. It is their shed. You're in their home now. You live into their territory. Yeah. So I've been panicking because my wife and boyfriend both listened to ZDM while I'm milking the cows and I've walked into the cow shed and that's from our caller before.

That's from the dairy farm with the wife and the boyfriend. Wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. They don't know about each other. Wait, what? So I've been panicking because my wife and boyfriend both listen to ZDM while I'm milking the cows and I've walked into the cow shed and they're both there. Oh my gosh. Are we pouring gasoline in the situation? What are those?

Thruples. This could be the start of a throuples. They might use this audio in a true crime documentary. I still think it's not true, but okay. Okay, so we came across a man lying on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. I was not getting out of the car.

I stayed in the car and locked the doors and I'm going to ring the police. My two friends got out of the car. They were very concerned about about his well-being, but I was far more concerned about mine. Yeah. Yeah.

That was my dad's rule. He was like, if someone's on the side of the road and it's the middle of the night and they'd just keep going and call. Yes. I went to pull over the other day to pick up someone.

There was a man coming from out of the bush. And he was carrying a large gas canister. And it was night time and I thought, poor bastard, we're on the motorway. He's going to be walking for ages. And my instinct was to stop and pull over. And then I remembered, white woman, white woman.

And so I didn't. Or man with a gas tank Coming out of a bush Well I didn't do it Any part of these individually Is it not stop Situation Yeah

Especially that time of night And I will say I didn't drive past a car So he's either still walking Or he was planning on murdering me The ZDM podcast network Fact of the day Day day day Day

Day Do do do do do do do do do do Dididid to do it do to do, do do do do do do do, do do to do. Miss Christmas, misconceptions is the fact of the day theme this week. Things we think about Christmas and we think, oh, but maybe the origins weren't as good and they haven't always been in favor. And today, it's door-to-door caroling. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Not, it doesn't have, door-to-door caroling doesn't really happen as much. Yeah, it seems American. No. It's snowy. Get good old dressed up for the snow and they go door-to-door singing. And too many king wintlessless. Too many carolers got bit by dogs.

Yeah, like meter readers. Yeah. Well, the origins of caroling, far from the sweet child-friendly door-to-door of a Christmas carol. It comes from a medieval tradition called waste-sailing, from the old English waist hail, meaning be in good health. Oh, okay. Now, if you know anything about being good health, it just often involved a lot of drinking. So groups of people, often young men, would get intoxicated, going from door to door, singing loudly, demanding food, drink or money. Expecting hospitality in return.

So people would be giving because they were scared of what would happen if they didn't. Yeah. So they weren't like nice Christmas carols either. They were like loud mocking songs and threats of bad luck of households refused. Maybe a couple of Katie Perry songs. Yeah, fireling poorly. So, baby are a fire you work. So often the working class or the poorer villages would visit the wealthier homes.

And they would do it in numbers. So, you know, numbers were intimidated. A bit like Halloween you got the rich streets Because they have like Imported candy They might have those Gulliani sea shells And you'd go to the nice areas at Christmas time

Because they've got the Christmas lights Yeah And you see it But anyway they would They believed it was a socially acceptable Form of redistribution of wealth Yeah nice So the church is greenies back in the day too

Were there? Lefties Well they were just a working class Right Which isn't working class Yeah They were the um Did they eat the rich

Eat the rich If they didn't give them food and drink When they went knocking on the door They'd nibble That nibble on the rich So authorities and churches tried to have it banned And it was associated with drunkenness

And lawlessness And it was part of why Christmas itself Was banned in the 1600s Briefly covered that yesterday With the Christmas tree situation So then in the 19th century Victorians were like Well we can't stop them

So let's just morph it And get kids and stuff involved And they removed the drinking And the threats And they kind of put out some people doing nicer songs and such. Yep. And Carolyn became organized a bit more wholesome

and permission based and they weren't asking for anything, but sometimes taking a donation for a charity. Okay. So today's fact of the day is that caroling started out as a drunken door-to-door give us more booze

so we can keep doing this to the modern, I'll say it, slightly more boring sounding good. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. The ZDoo-Doo-D-M podcast network Play ZDM's Fletchhorn and Haley Tomorrow we've teased at our caller of the year

I'm very excited for that tomorrow. But right now, producer Shannon in charge of our social media at the social media desk, this phone and topic ended up being the video of the most watched. Yes. And I would say of all time and my time of working for you guys. Wow.

I'll tell you off here. Okay. What are you saying? They've got egg on their face. Yeah, they do have egg on their face. A double yoker egg on their face. Don't bring up the double yokeers. He's still not talking about us.

But the video got over 6 million views across all of our pages including the follow-up with his wife the next day. Now, this was a phone and topic where we asked you. When you couldn't, what couldn't you believe you spent money on? Damien, what did you buy that you cannot believe you spent money on? Hey, team, how are you this morning? Really good.

It's actually. Terrible actually. The show's falling apart now. Genuine friendship is truly being tested. Damian, how are you today? Yeah, I'm good. I'm good, thanks. And I know Bourne's going to take the living piss out of me on this one.

Yeah. Born's operating model. But anyway. Wait, whoa, hold on me. You're not one of the three that gets a roasting, Damien. Go on, what did you purchase? I'm ready. Last year, we finished renovating our house,

and we talked another story on top of our household, and we had this little bathroom in part of the renovation. A partner and I were like, oh, we want to get a mirror for this little bathroom. And it's like, oh, when I said, oh, I have the thing about mirrors that have world maps. Like prints of on them are embossed on them. So we're on trading, as we do,

and found one for a dollar reserve. And I showed it to Kathleen, and she was like, oh, that looks really cool. Do you want to get it? And I said, oh, it's a dollar reserve. What have we got to lose? So we were thinking just a normal standard, sorry, I'm worried that you'd find in any bathroom, so. What happened?

What did you go, where did you just go? Sorry, what happened? Did you almost vomit or did you trip over something? Yeah. So we've got to point, 80 bucks. $80? Okay. We were like, hey, sweet ad, my partner, she's got like a toilet at steamer.

We're like, well, we'll take that because we had to go up to my sister-in-law's to pick up a new duchess as well. So we'll pick up the mirror and the duchess in one co. And I said to Kathleen in the morning, oh, we'll just grab that piece of bubble wrap out of the cupboard and we'll wrap the mirror now and says, oh, yeah, cool, will it be bigger up? And I was like, yeah, yeah, don't worry about it. So anyway, we drove up to Kandala, which is a nice part of Wellington. Oh, beautiful, lovely. Kondala's very nice.

I know, I know, right? So we turn up, and it's a mansion-looking house, and they've got two range rovers in the driveway, and I'm like, oh, far out, this is going to be a really nice mirror. It's a mirror that you buy from the, like, bunnings or might a ten, a standard-sized mirror. Yeah.

To knock on the door, and the sky opens, and he goes, oh, you're Damien. I said, yeah, I'm here, I'm here for the mirror, and he goes, oh, yeah, there it is there. I look at, and I'm looking at a mirror that is six foot by six foot. Oh, my! For $80? What?

Okay, and you just said you had a little bathroom to put this in. Yeah, yeah, you're right, Fletch. It was real, like, it's just a toilet one, like a little spare toilet. Yeah. Okay. So how are we getting this in the car? Exactly, exactly, Haley. And I was like, the guy was like, oh, do you want a hand?

And I was like, under my breath, we did it say. No, man, I'm sweet with a six-by-six-foot-by-six-foot mirror. I should be sweaty. You had a bit of awkward, but I should be fine. Oh, my God. Who dropped the ball on that? Were there sizing? So I looked up to the driveway,

and I sort of catholic, I did the hand motion to Kathleen. Yeah. Bloody Kathleen. Here we go. I feel all over it. It's sounding like Kathleen didn't look at the mainstream.

It does sound like that. And she comes out with this little piece of bubblewap going, do you want me to bring this? Oh, Kathleen. Sweet, sweet. And he goes, who are these morons? Look at them with this little piece of bubblewap with this. Shmurra that has a world map one-to-one scale.

It's a literal reflection of the world. Oh, my God, I loved it. They walk down the driveway, we carry it up, up their driveway. Our son's in our car, because he's crashed out, and he's swat it in the back, and I'm like, it's not going to fit. Of course it's not going to fit. Dude, you're going to have to smash this thing. Dude, it's six by six.

You're not fitting that in anything, apart from a truck. I know, right? So we push Joseph's car seat forward. And we're in the third act. You can't be introducing your characters. You're a character. There's a baby in the boot. There's Joseph.

I know, I know. So we need to push all our seats forward. So I'm sure. My knee, grew up by my kids. Oh, Damien. Did you get this out of interest? Damien, how tall's Kathleen? I feel like we need all the details.

We're from this far. Kathleen, five, four. Okay, so we're all right. No problem, no knee issue. The mirror that was over Kathleen. I hadn't even thought about the fact Kathleen's smaller than the mirror. Well, yeah, because there's a photo of me standing next to it, and I'm just like, oh, gee, anyway, we're going to be late. Wait, where are you going now?

Oh, wait, you've got to go get a lot. Yeah, the Duchess. I forgot about the Duchess because it happened 20 minutes ago. Carran. Then Kathleen's like, were there doing mentions? And I was like, no.

Of course he weren't dimensions because if it were, he wouldn't have a look. Please have a look. We're driving from Kandala back to Potoni and I'm just sitting there silently raging going, I am a moron. And then Kathleen's like,

oh, bloody hell, the dementia. are in the description and the title when I was all right, leave me alone. Does it say literally six foot by six foot? Kathleen, oh my God, amazing. I'm going to be so audacious as to say this is a caller of the way. This is a caller of the bloody year probably.

Caller of the week. Damien, we are going to hook up. I can tell you on the story if you want because there's a little bit more to it. Oh, we're here now. I mean, we're here now, aren't we? Carry on, Damien. This far as late.

Not watching the Final Lord of the Rings movie. I know. It's like, we were going to pull. it. And I was like, well, it's just renovated. There's this, at the bottom of the stairs, there's like this big wall. We could put it there outside our daughter's room, Charlotte. But I was like, oh. Charlotte, welcome Charlotte to the story.

I didn't even knew there was a Charlotte. There's a Charlotte. Still reveling at Joseph. Yeah, me too. Carry on. Well, Charlotte's right next to me thinking this was hilarious as well. Anyway. Hello, Charlotte.

Hi. Hi. They can't be any longer. Charlotte, we don't have time for you, darling. Wait, where did the mirror end up, Damien? I kept going to say, okay, so you're going to put it up the wall? And I was like, yeah, but anyway, I'll go to my tent and he's got these things for elephant hooks

that can hold up to like 40, 50 KG. Yeah, because this thing's massive, as we know. It's six by six. It's going to be in the description. It was in the description. It was right there. In fact, in the part of the of Africa, if you look close enough, you can see an elephant.

You can. It's so huge. So I buy this proper, like, steel wire stuff to help hang it. And then I get the stud finder out, find the stud. And I'm like, yep, kid, I'll go there. And basically, you press this elephant hook into the, into the gym, and you twist it, and then you get a crescent or a spanner to spin it into the wall. Yep. I wouldn't be holding a mirror on those.

I wouldn't be putting a mirror in a hold. So, you know, I'm screwing it in with my hand, and then it snaps by me screwing it with my hand. And I was like, what's done? This was supposed to be 50 KGs, and it breaks in my head. So I go back to them to the minor 10 and say, hey, look, this is a... Well, we're back at minor 10. Just check the time. Thank God there's one in Patoni.

That's good, yeah. Let's check the time. We're just... We are running out of time. No, no, no. Damien, we've got people texting in saying they parked their car 15 minutes ago, and they're still sitting in their car. They need to hear the end of this story.

How did you get the mirror up? What did you do? Well, I took it back to my day. 10 and they're like, well, what do you use to think? Like, what kind of crazy? And I said, I didn't I used my hand. And like, well, do you want another one? I was like, no, I want my money back.

Hey! Damien, we need to get home and we need to know what happens is up the mirror. I found the biggest like a fencing screw that I could find it was the biggest screw known to humankind.

Right. It's hanging the biggest mirror. It's going on that right now. It's hanging on the Yeah, it's not cosmetically pleasing It looks disgusting And it freaks us out Every time you walk down the hallway

We are going to need you to send us a photo Of the giant mirror, Damien We're going to need you to send a photo Because our listeners need it Yeah, and can you stand next to it Because we know that you're about six foot For reference Could I actually get Kathleen, Joseph and

Play ZDN's Flesh for an haley. Gender roles. What is gender societal construct? And we're breaking them down all the time. And the next thing that us, us lay days are coming for. And Georgia joins us. Hello. And I believe you partook in this activity.

Just the other day, we'd be mowing the lawns we'd be loving it. And do you know we'd be loving more than just mowing the lawns? Mowing the lawns, filming it and uploading it to social media. Some of us love doing that. Oh, yeah. I've definitely set up a tripod when I was mowing the lawns because remember I let it get away on me this year

and then I had to do a triple sort of mow sort down. I filmed it. And it does it. It's very empowering. So the first time I did mine, I actually hit the house and I never heard the end of it. You mean you hit the house? Like, I don't know how you got to get the weed whacker out at one point

and kind of like do the edges. I couldn't be bothered this time. Anyway, I didn't hear the end of it. So... So you just ram the lawnmill right up against the house. And we had to fix that jib part and, like, repaint it. And it was not good. It didn't go down well.

Oh, you probably hit out. I don't think it's jib. I think it's fiberglass. What's it called? That bottom part of the house. Yeah. Asbestos, I think is what it's called. Yeah, that would do.

Spestos panel. And then, so anyway, the other weekend I was like, oh, well, Hames away, I'll just like, you know, put a bikini top on. Like, strap this bikini and my bike shorts on, and I'm a bit like a sexy chick rocking down. Yeah. He didn't even come home and see me. It was timed perfectly for when he arrived, but he never saw me.

Yeah. Was he happy with the lawns? He was happy. He was like, babe, the straight lines are no. And I was like, I don't know. It's been an uptick in social media. Huge uptick in social media of young women in particular mowing the lawns and being like, check me out.

It's pretty boss. They are usually scantily clad. I also mowed the, I filled myself mowing the lawns in a G-bang on a bikini top this year, and I sent it to a person, and then they ended up sort of go roasting me in France. See, that's weird because I thought it would be a non-sexual turn-on. Yeah, I sort of thought so too.

One time Hamer told me mine was gardening, so that's why I've started doing. He has his gardening when I'm in the garden. Because, Borny, I know you love your lawns. You love doing your lawns. Yeah, I do love doing my lawns. But if a chicky babe was to mill your lawns, you'd be like, how are you?

Yeah. Wow, don't I. Have they done? When you go around the first time on the ride on, you chuck a couple of rounds in and then you turn around and start going. anti-clockwise chucking in the grass out.

There's a way to do it. There's a way to do it that I've developed during the years. I've done good lines. You've commented on my lines before? Am I mowing? Oh, yeah? Oh, that seemed like he didn't mean to give you that compliment that time. No, no, it was good lines. Well, my lawn's not straight.

It's angry. No, it's a very, it's a hard lawn to mow. You've got it all over the place lawn, to be honest. It's crappy. It's creepy. I'll tell you, it's Kikua, and I'm happy to stand by that. Oh, yeah, no, but they all are fled. She can't, not hear. Also my mum says, she's like, oh, God, we've got to burn this off and start again.

I was like, well, it's green. I don't think you can get rid of Kikulia. No, it'll keep coming in. And if the neighbours have got it, it'll put a runner on. Yeah, I'm screwed. You should just get Astro-Turf, like, do that area. No, yuck. That's going to be a huge, yeah.

You're in charge of the buttons, and I want you to turn your own mic off. Okay, apartment. Quiet over there, please. Yeah, what, shut up, Shat up. Somebody's message, and this will be why my teenage daughter is all of a sudden decided she wants to mow the lawns for the first time. Yeah, it's social media. Because it's cool now.
