from the ZM Podcast Network. This is... Fleshwoman and Haley's Big Pod. Thanks to animates. Making happy happen for pets. Have you seen how insanely cold it is on the eastern coast of America? Have you seen New York covered in snow

and the Hudson River frozen over? Yeah. I saw the Niagara Falls last week frozen. That was pretty amazing. That's cold, man. Anyway, right here, it's humid and sticky this week. It's all right. Humid.

I actually wouldn't mind a bit of snow. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stay, calm down, you calm down. Calm right down. We've just avoided an office stink with Haley trying to eat curried eggs in studio. Yum. Banished to the I heart lounge.

I've got to get some food in today. So I, yeah, last night, I was like, I'm prepping eggs, and then I was like, chuck a bit of curry powder in there. Put it on Dr. Shawnee's avocado. Yeah. On my toast with some of patsy's pickled onions. Shunny avocado. You should have come to the barbecue.

Well, I saw him on Friday, Thursday at Laneway. There was no avocados. I'm just stinking mad at that guy. Avocados to Laneway. You're not allowed to bring in a bucket of avocados. I saw it before, Lidway. He could have got some then. Yeah.

Avocados to your place. Lovely. Pre-lane way. Yeah, well, we'll see how it goes down because I do have IBS, so it does feel like pickled onions, curried eggs, on a gluten bread. It sounds disastrous. Great day for us in the studio today.

Yeah. The top six soon born, Wellington's got a pooey harbour situation. Yeah, terrible news after a deluge of water from the sky, which has a name, rain. It does, yeah. It caused an effluent situation and raw effluent is still continuing to fall into Wellington Harbour. How very Auckland of it. How very Auckland of Wellington. Well, I got the top six signs your Wellington seafood has effluent in it.

Are we a first world country? Yes. I think so. Interesting. Doesn't feel like a first world pop up. Giving big third world. Yeah, it is, isn't it? Yuck.

Yeah. I'm getting to that in the top six, same. I mean, if you're on your way now to get a feed, of Kai Moana from Wellington Harbour, I put a big Thai ho on that. Yeah, and the top six will deal with it soon. Next on the show, I want to talk about something called the Breaking Bad Effect,

which researchers, scientists have looked into and is real. Play ZM's Flash forun and Haley. Well, the Breaking Bad Effect, has been studied. Now this is based on the television show Breaking Bad. I could almost go back. It's so good. It's in line. I've got a lot of like want to go back. One of TV's greatest ever shows. Oh, fantastic. Thank you. Also has the creator, Vince Gilligan, his new show, Pluribus, Apple TV. I think I've got two X left. Has that finished? Yeah, it has nine Eps all up. I've got two to go.

It's so good. Yeah, I need to watch it. It's, yeah. I think on Rotten Tomatoes it was like 98 or 97% or something. Yeah, it was one. one of the highest rating. Yeah, that's incredible. As high as Breaking Bad. Well, Breaking Bad, if you don't know, the, I guess it starts out with Walter White, who's played by Brian Cranston, who is, gets a terminal diagnosis for cancer. Lung cancer?

And he's got a financially precarious situation. You've got to pay for this care. We've got to pay for his family in America. So he turns as a science teacher, a high school science teacher, turns to making meth, as you do. Of course. And so scientists have studied the breaking bad effect. Do people that are given a terminal diagnosis turn to crime? I think if you're...

If you were told you've got eight months to live, would you... I wouldn't turn to crime, but I'd do a lot of illegal things, if you know what I mean. Yeah, like I hear less. Like, I'm not going to rob somebody. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to make somebody else's life miserable. But I'd sort of... I'd have a bit of illegal fun.

If I was going to die... And I knew I'd be like, yeah, let's burn it to the ground. Well, researchers in Denmark have uncovered a correlation. A cancer diagnosis increases the probability of committing a crime by about 14%. Oh, wow. So it is a thing. Because you just go, what have I got to lose? I'm gone.

So they analyzed, they covered the entire Danish population focusing on 368,000 individuals diagnosed with cancer between 1980. in 2018, and they linked the health records to criminal registries. So these are only the people that were caught doing a crime, and they tracked the behaviour, and compared to those that hadn't been diagnosed. Yeah. And yeah, it was a 14% increase. Wow.

Again, just on those that were caught and charged. So that doesn't even include maybe someone who shoplifted and got away with it. Yeah, maybe I'd do a little bit of pinching. That's what I, you know, like, for a thrill, but it would have to be from a small independent local business. Right. They'd have to be some huge... And there'd be a big corporate.

Yeah, yeah, or I'd try to steal from like Gucci, you know? I've never even walked in the shop because I feel like they'd turn me away. Well, they literally have security in lines and stuff. I reckon you'd struggle. Good luck for that. Get your skanky Chuck Taylor's on. Also, you're giving just as you address right now, you're giving big shoplifter and Gucci energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a Gucci inside.

But I would, I like... I get it. Maybe I'd steal a boat for the day with like complete intention. But you don't know how to drive. And I make sure it's a millionaire's boat that they wouldn't even miss it. They'd just be able to replace it like it's not even thing. Right. How would you even drive it?

Do you know how to drive a boat? You put the key in the engine and then you just punch it. You punch it. You punch it. That's pretty much the rules of driving anything. Just punch it. Yeah, you just get in there and punch it. The Z&M podcast network.

From the Fletch von and Haley group chat, this is the top six. Kiyara, I'm currently looking at Eclipseo-science's model showing sewage pollution affecting Wellington's South Coast. The model accounts for currents, tides, winds and provides short-term forecast. And I tell you what, it starts out with a little red spot. And then the red spot spread. There's pooze. There's pooze everywhere.

So don't be swimming anywhere. Especially on the South Coast. Right. It's a bit grim in that. So it comes out, it's coming out from that little narrow neck bit where the airport is in Wellington, before Wellington goes out again. But I don't like it. It's spilling out.

It could be months until people are able to swim again. Oh, but it's summer. This sucks. I know. I know. So, yeah, it overflowed. It's probably going to be dealt with. But the top six signs your seafood came from Wellington Harbour.

And it's got some airflow in it. Number six on the list, your clam has toilet paper in its mouth like when it gets caught in your dress. It's a little bit of, like, and the clam doesn't know because it's eyes. Of course, clams's got eyes the face forward. and it's at the back on the side. Oh, no. That's where the clams' eyes are. Yeah.

You can barely see them. They're minute. Yeah. But how else are they looking around? Yeah. If you need to see where a clam's eyes are, Google Muppet Clams, because when they were on the Muppet show,

their eyes were always in front and face in the front. See, please don't tell me I've imagined that. A clam on the Muppet show. Clam C by using hundreds of tiny simple eyes or photoreceptors located along the edge of their mantle to detect light shadows and movement. See, that's the mantles of the bit. But they don't think or anything, eh?

Clams and mosques and stuff. Do they? What are they dream on? What is it? They have ambitions. He means dreams as in hopes of ambition. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Being at a really nice restaurant one day on a plate, plate it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

If I was a clam, I'd dream of being in a busk. Really supporting a piece of feta chenny. Or a chowder? I'd be, I'd dream of being in a delicious chowder. You'd really be down and out if you're a clam and you washed up on the beach and a They go. Oh yeah. That's not.

That's the past. That's no way to go. Nah. Number five on the list of the top six sons. Your seafood came from the Wellington Harbour with its effluent and overflow. Your crayfish is holding a tampon like a cigar. And his little claws. He's like, don't be flush in those?

She? Who's been flushing these? She? You're not supposed to flush those. It's not the pee. The pee, the paper. Not the period products. Not the pawn.

Not the pawn. Pong. Number four on the list of the top of six. signs, your seafoods come from Wellington Harbour, are your hokey fillets, not the traditional lovely white hokey fillet, bit yellow, piss. Oh, a bit of piss.

A bit of pissy fillet. A bit pissy fillet. Don't eat that if it's a yellow hokey fillet. Bit pissy. Bit pussy. Number three on the list of the top six signs your seafood came from Wellington Harbour. Your geoduck tastes like toilet duck.

Oh no. Do you know what a geoduck is? I don't. It's those, Google it. Google it. You'll have a giggle. It's the shell that looks like It's got a massive doodle coming out the side of it

Do you eat them? Yeah, they're always at Yomcha They're in a tank Large burrowing clam It's the largest in the world Yeah, it's got a massive wang Coming out of the side It does, it does

Like compared to its body Yeah, huge wang to body Huge wang to shell ratio It's a Pacific geoduck Okay, I had no idea Yeah Oh yuck Look at it getting killed

Yacht I'll go back and I'll say number three on the list is your geoduck tastes like toilet duck. It's a bit better. It's a bit better now that you know what a geoduck is. I hope everybody Googles GeoDuck right now listening. If you don't know what a geoduck is, if you don't know what a geoduck is, Google it now, GEO-D-U-C-K, your thoughts, 9-6-9-6.

Oh my God. How would you cook this geoduck? Wait, okay, so I looked at the photos and I'm like, okay, but look at this photo of this guy holding one. Haley. Oh, hang on, where did it go? It's any one of your drop-downs, I reckon. description and range.

It's ginormous. That's like a foot long. That's a foot long. It doesn't. Can you send me that? I'll pop it on our socials. It's so disgusting. Send me that line.

I'll pop it on our socials. I think the producers. Shannon's literally on her feet and she's flipping the bird. I think Shannon wants to take control of the socials. Too late, baby. I'm addicted. I'm addicted to the... They're going to have to log.

They're going to have to end your session to log you out of Instagram. Don't you end my session. Change the password. Don't change the password. Don't change the past. the web browser change. Okay, standby because Vaughan and his last act on our social media. No, the last act.

Well, 966, who should remain logged into the socials? I'm happy to share responsibilities. Okay. Number two on the list of the top six zones, your seafood came from Wellington Harbour. Your squid rings, your Kalamari Squidrings, they've got a poo down the middle. They're stuffed with poo. They've got a log in it. They're like, there's like ten squid rings to a poo.

Are we still 100% clean green New Zealand or whatever that? saying I was 100% pure. Clean green, tiny Kiwi. 82% pure New Zealand. And 18% pure shit. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six signs your seafood came from Wellington Harbour.

Your oyster's going to make you super horny from all the Viagra and meth that's ingested from the waste water. Whoa, pumped up aphrodisiacs. Pamped up, aggressive aphrodisiab. But the good news is, oysters will now make you skinny because of all the wegovi that went through the system as well. Oh, great. Skinny, horny and meftar.

But what a combo. Sounds like a hell of a weekend in Wellington. That's the day stop six. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Apparently in New Zealand in rural areas, we are severely lacking in GPs, general practitioners. People. Your doctors.

Yep. You're just your local doctor. Our doctor, Shawna, he's a GP. He is, yeah. General. General medicine. But in rural areas, they're just leaving. They don't want to be there. We're missing at least 130 rural GPs. across the nation.

Wow. But if you were like a rural GP, you would know everyone. Yeah. Like, wouldn't that be weird? Literally you would know them inside and out. Like, I've never, I've never seen my doctor in real life,

like in the street. I saw mine at Laneway and gave her a hug. And it was weird. It was weird. Haley's like, this is my doctor. I was like, I think I'd like to say my doctor at a music festival.

Yeah. Well, Dr. Shawnee knew. Dr. Shawnee knows her. But so, but it was weird. It would be weird seeing your doctor at the supermarket, but in a small place, you'd know everything about everyone

and you'd never be able to escape. And you'd treat generations. Yeah, you would, yeah. The whole family. My best friend's doctor, her mom went to her and my best friend's daughter goes to her, so that's a generational doctor

in a small little village. Yep. But, yeah, I do like a sense of anonymity. Yes. Rural doctor shortages are a worldwide crisis. Yeah, because... Characterised by a crime. It's a chronic worsening in universal inequity where healthcare resources are concentrated in cities,

leaving rural populations with significantly less access to care. This is around the world. And then you probably have to do a lot more work if you lived rurally because, you know, there aren't big hospitals, so you have to do more. You have to probably take things a bit further. And work more. And not be able to refer people so easily to like specialists, right? You've got to try to help them much.

And rural doctors are older, traditionally, they're an older doctor. So as they are getting closer to retirement, there's not the young gun to. come and to replace them. Yeah. But then also it takes, not everybody wants to live in a tiny town. No, so there's this man,

Mark Eager, he's a CEO of Mobile Health Group and he's a board member of lots of rural health boards. He suggests, this is his suggestion, a Tinder-style dating app for health professionals,

he thinks it could help retain people in rural areas. So like a rural Tinder, so that local GPs could all kind of get together and start dating and it might be an incentive, like a relationship, to staying in one place and not leaving.

Rural Tinder, full stops quite hard. I've dealt with a rural Tinder. Now you're reducing your total dating pool down to people with a medical degree of some sort. It seems like you've just made the barrel a lot smaller. So the big problem is that they're leaving, right? So they're the local doctor and they want to go to a bigger city. But if they had a personal connection to help keep them in the town,

And his thought was that this would make a doctor stay. Yeah, make a doctor stay. And what about paying them way more? That's what I was going to say. Do you get paid more or is it the same? Because it's cheaper to live out of the big centres. Yeah. And the big centres.

I would assume you'd get paid less, right? Rural doctors cheaper? My doctor's expensive. I just would have thought because they're like not a price. They're paid by the government. It would just be flat. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how it works.

But can city folks? like myself who was not a practicing GP I had the ability to I started in general medicine and then I moved into my specialist subjects You did an acting degree You were the only one who didn't have a medical

degree on this team But am I allowed to dabble on rural Dr Tinder when I'm in the area Say I'm on tour No you've got to be a doctor I can't go to you could at least be a nurse You should at least be able to be a nurse What if we open this up

And it's like the doctors are on there and if you're going through the town, they get to sleep with you if they want. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. That's just Tinder, isn't it? No, no, because they're based there or you've got to sort of apply to sleep with the hot doctor. But then also they won't have any time

because they're so busy and overworked. We could start an app. I want to sleep with a doctor. That's the dating app, and it's for travellers. And you go in and out of towns and you go on, I want to sleep with a doctor. And all the doctors were happy to sleep with city folk passing through.

They are on there. That will keep them living. in these tiny towns. Yeah, because they get the hot city gals. I don't think they're that busy because rural New Zealand men still refuse to go to the docker, like, even if they're bleeding profusely from all the holes.

They'll be, right? They'll be, right? You get a bit of bloody super glue in there and stitch it shut. She'll be right. Silly podcast network. Silly little poll today is do you re-watch a series before starting the last series before starting a new season of a TV show?

This was my plan for Severance because I have Severance season two ready to go and I want to watch I can't remember what happened. I know. Apart from when they go down in the elevator they can't remember what they were doing. I know, I know.

And it's such a great show. I feel like it was such a long wait for season two. I need to watch season one. At least do one of the recaps. I was going to say it's a handy recap. Yeah, there's a lot of like fans of TV shows that make these amazing season recaps. And sometimes that's all you need.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, 53% of people said sometimes, 34% of people said no, and only 13% said yes always. We were just debating if we rewatched the Night Manager, because season two has come out. Which I can't believe he says, 10 years ago. Olivia Coleman and Hugh Lorry. Hugh Lorry is in this time. Of near watch, Camilla Maroon is in this series.

Yeah. He plays a Night Manager, but he's a spy or something? He's a spy. It's amazing. It's so good. CN says Good old chat, GBT, B.T is usually pretty good for a decent recap. Sometimes I'll watch the last episode again, but that's rare now.

So much content. Sometimes it gives some of the actors six toes, six fingers. Right, so I don't trust it. Yeah, that's okay. Often watch a recap on YouTube with the key details, says Alex. Usually, user-made. Yeah. Rather than made by the studio.

Nicole said, need it to be damn fresh in my mind, so I'm not like, who's that guy when it's the main character? Yeah. Taylor, who has the time? Very good question, Taylor. Yeah. Who is the time? I barely find time to watch new content,

let alone the old content to lead to the new content. Yeah, yeah. Rachel said if it's been a long time between seasons, I might re-watch the last season or like the last four or five episodes, but that's a dying habit. Grace, now, most shows do a solid recap at the beginning of the next season,

so I don't feel like I need to remember anything else that wasn't in there. Sometimes when they do the little recants before a show, though, they give away what's coming. Yeah, totally. Blame it seen for like four episodes. Yeah, they'll throw in something random. You'll be like, why is that?

Oh, it's this episode. I'll say, yeah. Yeah, I got into the habit of watching the first episode of previous seasons before starting a new one. It's weird and it makes no sense. But I can't stop it, says Felicity. Okay. Amy says, usually do a quick Wikipedia recap

if the first episode doesn't have a handy previously on. Wikipedia, it'll probably ask you for $4. Well, that's okay. Every time, I... I see you're enjoying this art. cool, Haley. How about giving me three bakaros. Nah.

At least the last episode, if not the previous season, it's a must-to-get into the zone. Yeah. For that particular show, says Emma. Or a vibe zone check. Yeah, so for Siloilatel poll, we asked you, re-watch a TV show before the next season comes out,

and 53% of you said sometimes. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. It was the Super Bowl yesterday with the the Dunhill dust busters and the patriotic parrot dog brewery Lance. That'll do.

And they, man, they footed that ball so hard with the shoulder rams and all of the jamming and the touchdowns. The quarterbacks for me really were the highlight and all of that, man, touchdown. I don't know how American football works, but I saw a lot of people saying the game itself was a bit of a dud. Yeah. Was a bit of a me? We're not there for it.

We're there for the atmosphere. We're there for the celebrity watching and we're there for the halftime show. We are. Which was, of course, this year performed by Bad Bunny. He was the first solo Spanish-speaking artist

to ever do it because Shikita joined J-Lo one year. But she wasn't the main. No, she wasn't the main thing. Do you know, I saw yesterday he's technically more American than Donald Trump is? Yes. Because there was some 1970. Accord that Puerto Rican

born citizens were American citizens. Yeah. And so that includes back to his like grandparents, maybe even his great grandparents, and Donald Trump's mother was an immigrant. And isn't his dad German as well? His granddad came from Germany. All that Fox News,

all the right wing people being like, why didn't they get an American to perform? And everyone was like, Puerto Rico is an America. What are he doing? Yeah. That was kind of the theme of his whole show. he did a really good job of making it seem very festive and fun and celebratory while also like politically a little bit charged

about basically saying like we are the United States all of them and that the whole end he's like listing all these places and ends with Puerto Rico basically saying like United we stand you know America's a continent America yeah we're all American Make up America yeah it was brilliant wasn't I To which Trump was already tweeting like this is the worst Whistible!

and can I just say to what he's seeing Anyway, so as part of his performance, as rumoured, and as part of our ZDM office bingo, Lady Gaga, as guest, she did kind of a Spanish take on this song that she usually does with Bruno Mars. She wore this beautiful skirt.

It was amazing. All those people on the sports betting website, or they're not the sports betting, but the betting websites, that would have made so much money because that was like rumored and then went through the roof, didn't it? and then people were like, why would she be there?

Because she's Italian, right? And, like, she hasn't done a song with him. But it was such a great performance. And also Ricky Martin. Ricky Martin came out. And there's a beautiful video where, like, Bad Bunny's, like, crying at the idea of having Ricky Martin there. And just, Ricky Martin's a legend.

And then they had this whole kind of party set up with lots of sort of American Spanish actors, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pasquale. there was Cardi B like there's all the sort of like famous great people I'm trying to think about

what else happened during the show I mean there was a bit of a hard launch from Kim Kardashian That's right Lewis Hamilton Was that were they there together Yeah they were there together

And that's been a rumour for a while First kind of public outing They weren't They weren't passion or anything But they were there The the Knowleses were there Beyonce and Jay Z Knowles What is

Jay Z's last name. Z. Jay's his first name. Z Z's last name. I've always called him James. No, what's his actual name is? It's always... Carter.

Like, Cedric Bogaddy. It's Carter. Cedric Bogotty. Sean Corey Carter. Yeah, see? Bogadie. Yeah. Green Day performed.

Charlie Puth did the National Anthem. He did the anthem. I mean, nothing will ever beat Fergie's National Anthem. I'll just say that. Blay, the dog. She's so good. But honestly, I think all around this was such an amazing performance. Play ZM's Flash for herne and Haley.

We know how talented our wonderful producer Shannon is. She crochets, she knits, she makes all these amazing things. And one of the things, Shannon, you'd say that went like the most viral for you personally was your crocheted butterfly wing cape cardigan. Yes. And like when you showed us this, I was. blown away. It's amazing. Yeah, it's incredible. Thank you. Yeah, I got about between my social platforms, about half a million views. And I'm not saying that to flex, I'm saying this to set up

where the story is going. Yeah. Because obviously someone in some world saw that and thought, I need to be in on this. Yeah. So I had a listener message me. I was off sick for a week and they said, hey, do you know about this? And I said, no, I do not. And she's like, cool. So there's an account on Facebook called Brand Hangers and they are using my videos to sell seed butterfly cardigans pack of two for just

949 and then I don't know the currency symbol there I've sent it to you guys I don't know what that is either I tried looking it up and I couldn't find anything it says it's a unisex fit it says warm yet lightweight statement design It's an Indian rupee

Oh right okay How much is that in New Zealand Oh the rupee How much is $17 Oh my god. I'm so sorry. It's worth way more than that. I'm so sorry. That's $17.20. It cost me like $200 to make. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Not in India, though, hon. No. So yeah, this person is selling my crochet cardigan. Now, I tried to buy it because naturally I want to see my competition of myself. Of course. How are they going to do it? They're not doing it by hand. No. So the website keeps coming up and disappearing. So currently there's no place to actually buy it. But this video of me has quarter of a million views. on their page. It's so wild that not only have they stolen your design,

they've used your video as the model. And then the weirdest thing is, it's a video of me showing off a bunch of different things I've crocheted. I know, I saw that because then the next one's your poncho. Yeah, so they're kind of advertising everything I make. I think they've got a collection of Shannon stuff. But it is warm yet lightweight, according to them. It is good, yeah.

It is a unisex fit, all genders included here. And a statement design. I mean, that's compliments to the chef. Where's the link to click to buy it, though? That's what I can't find. So when I go to the page, there's nothing there. They've only got, like, a few followers. Like, the whole thing is very suspicious.

But what if some grandmother sees it? And it's like, well, that's clearly real crochet, because it's clearly homemade. Yeah. But I can't see how you purchase. It's not even a shop link or anything. Like, what are they getting out of this? They just want views?

I guess so. I'm going to try Googling it because a lot of these scam places. as they keep recycling their websites, you know, to pop up other places. What did they call it? Butterfly Wing Cardigan. Yeah, and the company's called Brand Hangers. I tried looking enough and it just kept coming up with like monogrammed hanging clothes. One of their other photos is the most AI generated pictures I've ever seen in my life of four almost identical white guys.

Yeah, wearing different coloured shirts. Yeah, pastel shirts. Well, okay, but I mean, as horrible as this is, are you quite like kind of, wait a bit? A little bit flatter. A little bit, yeah, except as someone who has fallen for a many scam, there's some irony that now I'm inherently scamming people, and I feel bad about it. Yeah, but it's a great cardigan, you know what I mean? Actually, I mean, you should set up a shop genuine, authentic, New Zealand made.

Yeah. Custom order. Made to order, you know, like it's, we'll take eight weeks to get to you. Oh, more than that. I can't crochet now. I'm off, I'm off the hook. Oh, that's right. You've got a blood clot in your arm. You missed the palm. Yeah, I'm off the hook. She's off the hook. Meaning you don't have to do anything, but she also, the crochet hook? Yeah.

She's off the hook. I don't know too much about crochet for that to work on me. Yeah, I'm off the string. I'm off the yarn. I actually don't think, but that's not a saying. Yeah. Look at me, I'm off, I've put down the knitting needles. I actually don't think you needed to know anything about crochet to appreciate that joke.

I think you do. I'd just be like, it's time for some other yarns. Oh, that would have been better. That would have been better. There's only one stand-up comedian in this group, and it's certainly not, yeah. The ZM Podcast Network. Imagine eating yogurt, right? You're sitting on the couch, you're eating some yogurt?

What flavor yogurt are you eating? Just a kaffir plain, to be honest, with berries, isn't it? I'm a protein yogurt, gal. Yeah, yeah. I've been having the coconut. I changed the coconut for my pot to have with my breakfast in the morning. It's a good, I'm. A nice little change.

Yeah, it is nice. Maybe you're a dairy food. Maybe you're eating a chocolate pod. Maybe you're having a vinyiny. Huh? A what? The vinyan yu. The chocolate ones, you know, vinyan y'i.

Nope, I don't know their brand. Yeah, it's like it's in the orange. It's orange and brown. Veng ganga. Yeah. They're going to get some marketing out there. Beautiful chocolate. They're got to get some marketing out there to have us

I'll get a dessert spoon into the tub. You've got a soup spoon into the tub. Yeah. Madness. Well, this woman's doing this and her name. I'll tell you her name in a second. Okay. Because she's eating this with a 17 centimetre spoon when her vivacious Hungarian

Feistler dog jumps onto her lap, causing her to rapidly inhale. spoon goes down the throat hole. Oh God, a 17 centimetre How the hell can a 17 centimetre spoon go down your throat? She's got a big gophole. She's got a huge gob hole. Like one of those sword swallowing.

Sword swallowing. Open, your relaxed larynx. So maybe you put your head back when the dog jumps on you and it just is the perfect angle for it to slide down. And the gasp would have... The gasp of a... Open it.

And just if it just grabbed the spoon and down it goes. She's 28 years old. She's from Northern Belgium and her name is Rémi Amlik, which actually sounds like the noise she probably would have made when she swallowed the spoon. So where did she, she didn't choke? She just swallowed the spoon?

It's still down there, yeah. She put an X-ray out. This is a spoon. It's going to have to be surgically removed from her stomach because they can't, like, they can't send something down and loop it and pull it back out. God, I just remembered something that happened at an airport in last month. What? I was, this old man behind me was,

when he walked through the, you know, the beating machine. And the guy was like, oh, and he's like, wait, no, no. And he opens his phone and he pulls up an x-ray of his pelvis and says, no, look, I've got plates in there and you could totally see his dick. Oh, really? What were you packing? A sausage? Or a sizzler.

Dude, we didn't want to see that. And of course, I looked, because he was like, look, like he was showing this security guy, the x-ray. And I was like that time the tennis player did it. Was it Andy Murray? Andy Murray, yeah. Put up his x-rays. And Haley's ghost flaps.

I showed you my shadow flaps. Shadow flaps, the horse, Scandhouse horse from Lord of the Rings. There's got to be, because, can you see anything on this X-ray? No. It looks like, you know when people will put up an X-ray and you can see that they need to take a poo? I think that's about the most excited. I think of this X-ray. Oh, yes.

Packed with turd. She has burbs, but you can't see the boobs. Right. But, yeah, there's a challenge is what you say. But not impossible. Okay. Because I'm a man of resource, infinite resource and imagination. straight spine though no scoliosis in this one

Or you cook something. You don't realize something's in your food. I've eaten so many bugs for sure. Solid a bug. Yes. But that's protein. You're on the protein buzz at the moment. And I'm jacked as a result.

Bra. Change nothing, bra. Okay, well, 0800 dollars at M. Give us a call. Text through 9-696. That's our number. What have you accidentally inhaled a swallow? Bonus points if you've got x-ray.

Yeah, bonus points if there's x-ray. Yeah, and we want to see it. But again, always... Cool bonus points. Always check the x-ray before posting. What did you accidentally eat, swallow or inhale? A woman's inhaled a 17-centimeter spoon because she was eating some delicious yogurt

and the dog jumped on her lap and... And the yogurt just... The spoon just slipped down the throat. If it was coated in yogurt, I reckon it might be slippery. And just a perfect angle, maybe of... the way the dog, there's an extra to prove it. It's an insane story. So, 0800,000M is the number

9-696 to text through. What did you accidentally ingest? Anna, good morning. Good morning, hi. Really good. Now, this was your sister, and you may have been to blame for this. She accidentally inhaled what? She stuck a whole dandelion

of her nose when she was younger. She's actually sitting... Oh, hi, sister. It was the, hi, my name's Yana, and it was the entire stem and all. Wait, wait, wait, your parents called you, Anna and Yana. Yeah, yeah. Are you twins or just sisters? No, it's six years apart.

Six years apart. So they had six years to come up with a name that didn't rhyme, and they still went with one that did. Anna and Yana. Yeah. Right. So it was a whole dandelion stem and all, and I didn't actually realize for, well, my parents didn't realize for two weeks

until I had like a congested nose and I had one of those like nasal clearing things and it just fell out completely in the bathtub. It's a dandelion, the one that turns into the thing that you blow and all the wishes. Yeah. That's a dandelion. I don't know.

They, the yellow ones, aren't they? Yeah, but don't they... No, dandelion's the, like, clear one. The yellow one is. Buttercup. Something out. Sounds like we need to know our flowers a little better.

Anna, Jana, give our regards to your parents, Mana and Jana. Yeah, yeah. And Uncle Barna. Of course, please we forget. Rachel, what did you accidentally ingest? No extra to prove it, but I was

playing in my grandparents' long grass paddock with siblings and cousins playing hide and seek. running, jumping into the grass, laying down heavily breathing, and I accidentally swallowed a big blowfly. Did it kind of buzz? Did it buzz when it went down?

I don't know. I was mortified. I ran inside and running, asking after my mom, like, what do I do? She was like, nothing. Nothing. Just protein, bra, protein. Bra, swallow it down. Would a blowfly show up in an x-ray?

No, it'd burn through you. It would, yeah, kind of melt down with the acids, wouldn't it, quite quite, you'd imagine? Yeah, having a good bar bath on the acids of the stomach. Imagine if you shut out an entire fly. Oh, no, that's... Undigested. Not nice. It would be.

He's like, I'm going to have a lot. I'm buried in chocolate. Rachel, thank you. Josh, what did you accidentally ingest? Hey, mate, team. It was a wooden gulfee, which is not ideal. And it was already, it was already short. anyway from using it a few times.

And I was laughing at my friend, hitting his golf ball out of bounds. And I just, you know, launched that thing back into my throat while laughing hysterically. And, yeah, he definitely got the last laugh because that thing splintered on its way out. Oh, wait, so was it in your mouth?

And then you laughed. I was holding in my mouth, like, just after I'd hit my own golf ball. Yeah. Thinking, oh, it'll be fine. and, you know, I just got into hysterics when he had a really bad shot. I thought, oh, no, that thing, where's that gone? It's got down my throat.

What do you mean it splintered on the way out, Josh? Like, it was, because it was, it already had like, it didn't come out straight, as opposed as the, you know. Oh, God, right, okay. You didn't go to the doctor or the hospital? You were just like, oh, just wait until it comes out. Yeah, just see how it goes, and eventually it came out about a week later, which is.

Oh, wait, it came out. It came out the other end sideways. Yeah, butthole. A week, that's too above par. I thought it would be five days on average. Is that a good goal joke? Is that a good goal break? Really funny.

I don't know, I don't get it, but I'm laughing. Take the sand bunker. Nice. Did you keep it? No, no. No. Fish it out of your turd and hit the course with it again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh, thank you. So Dandelion start out life as those yellow flowers and turn into the ones that you've got to make a wish. Thank you. How is one? flower capable of living beautiful two times. Just like us, as we age and change, we're still beautiful. It's just different.

It's a different. Wow. Thanks. Some messages in. What have you accidentally inhaled? My brother pulled a tooth out of his mouth and put it in his ear. Does this count? It's a hole.

He had to go to the hospital and get it removed because it got past a certain point and it wouldn't come back out. Steve, this one sounds like it would have hurt. What did you accidentally inhale? I inhaled a lit cigarette. Why'd you do that? Were you laughing, like our last caller? Yeah, same as the guy with the golf key.

I was just laughing away, and down she went. Oh, God, and did it burn? Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. It definitely burned until I got enough saliva. Good Lord. Lucky you're your dribbly boy, Steve. Very much. Wow, and did you know when that came out?

Was it a week later? I'm not really in the habit of looking at my pool. I'm not too sure. Well, you should know it would have been smoking. It would have been... Ballying smoking. I think if it was smoking

after three or four days later, you've got problems. It's one hell of a dorry. Steve, thank you. Gastroenterologist is just to... Well, I might have one more go at that. A gastroenterologist. Gastroenterologist here.

Oh. Wait, are they the people that do your colonoscopy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, are you having a day off next week? I am. I'm taking Thursday off to have my anus scraped. You couldn't have done it Friday after.

of the show? No, they do colonoscopies on Thursdays. Viginas on Tuesdays, shoulders on Fridays. I'm glad that works for you. Um, the list of things I've removed from a stomach is a gastroenterologist. Okay. A knife. Wait, I thought gastro was the, oh, it's all connected. You do it's in one end of the other. Wait, so they go from the butt hole to the stomach. It's literally mouth to, mouth to hole. No, either they go mouth to butt. Okay, so that's their zone. Don't go back. No, that's a, that'll get you sick. No. Yeah. No, not asking. But they're made in the middle.

There's not one camera that can go all the way through And they're in the throat And they're in the middle And they touch like E.T in that little boy's finger And they go Great phone home Um Gastroenterologist list of things I've removed from the stomach

A knife a fork a spoon Tweezers nail clippers batteries magnets Fish hooks and needles Those batteries are dangerous Like the babies eat those little ones Yeah the flat watch batteries And then the stomach Dries and then the stomach creates a circuit

And can burn a hole Don't that's crazy scary Now what do you think all of those were accidental or some people like to do this. What's that medical term for people that like to do this on purpose? Yeah, I don't know. There is a term, isn't there? There's a term for that.

Someone said it a stag do, the stag was doing a beer funnel, and someone flicked a bottle cap into the funnel and swallowed it a hole. Nerves waiting for that to pass. Do you think they answered the quiz on the lid? Yeah, what was the question? Who was the captain of the, you know, New Zealand cricket team in 1970s? We'll find out in two days. Down when it comes out.

My brother swallowed some money when he was younger because he said he didn't want him to steal it So he put it in his mouth to swallow it Amazing Human piggy bank I used to be in the military I was on the outer patrol base in Afghanistan Oh

I tore my pants on the outer barbed wire Just before patrol So I was quickly sewing my pants I had the needle at my mouth Drop the roll of cotton And a shock breathed in breathed in the needle That was an embarrassing medical evacuation Wouldn't you just like

Have your ass out if you're on the front lines I'm not getting out my sewing kit on the front lines of Afghanistan. I'm selling in Afghanistan's a great green day song. And also they always have weird fabrics in those sewing kits. Weird colors of. Yeah, so you've got a blue. There's a pink one.

There's a pink one. I don't have anything pink. Pink red and blue. Baby blue. You could stand out in Afghanistan. Yeah. Like you're in your sand camouflage and you're crawling around and they're just like, it's a pink stitch. Shoot at the pink stitch.

Got him. Got him. Got him. Right in the ass. So many people swung coins just by and coins. Don't put coins in your mouth for a start. They are filthy. I went to the dentist and he pulled out a tooth and flicked it up

and then we're a bit down my throat and I swallied a hole and all and said, was that okay? That's okay. That's not the first time that's happened. I'm sorry. Also, what kind of tooth is it? Because if that's a molar man, that thing's got roots. I reckon it's a molar. I would have asked for whatever the tooth fairy gives me offids a discount.

That's for sure. Yes. I'm two dollars. A child at school swallowed a drawing pin. Yes. And then said, I know how to get this out. I'll drink this purple stuff. That was methylet. spirits. So now we're off to hospital for a child that's ingested a pin and a mouthful of a mentalised spreeks. Has that child done well in life? Are they

doing a UK? I reckon we've read about them in the news. You know what I mean? It's giving big read about you in the news. The Z&P Podcast Network Play ZDN's Fletchworn and Haley. The Winter Olympics are happening as we speak and one

Canadian figure skater. I have not been watching the figure skater. Why not? I don't. I think it I haven't seen, I've only just seen clips online. I love figure skating. I know we talked about that crash yesterday. That was insane. Absolutely wild.

So, her name's Maddie. She says. She says. He says, she says. And she's 22 years old. She's gone viral because at 22 years old, yes, she is an Olympian, currently competing in Milan.

But she's also a university student. Oh, okay. And she's a student at McMaster University. I don't know what is she studying? Hamburgers? Please don't be silly, okay? This is a woman who is far better than us. Wait, they do having a cat.

Don't they have a university? McDonald's University? Let me go. I think they do. I was just googling what countries leading the medal tables at the Winter Olympics, but I've got far more important things to do. Yeah, this is way more important. Donald's University.

She's a sociology student at this, McMaster's. Hamburg University is a training facility at McDonald's Corporation Global Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. See, told you. Hamburger University. Well, that's not her. Maddie Chiat is not at McDonald's uni.

She's a sociology student at McMaster University and because she was competing at the Olympics, the Winter Olympics, representing Canada, what she didn't realize is she actually missed an assignment drop off. Oh, okay. And so she had to write an English. email, which sort of feels like, surely if you're representing your country at the Olympics, we don't have to be joined this. You get a pass.

But she got to fail, right? Because she just didn't submit it. Right. And so she had to say, hi, professor, insert name here. It's blanked out. Professor Grimmis? No. Dear Professor Grimmis.

Grimis wouldn't be a professor. Good way. You're kidding. Grimis would of course be a professor. Grimmis would be in charge of the canteen. No, Grimmis would be a professor. Hamburgler. I find that purplist of you to say that Grimmis going to be a professor.

The hand burglary is the groundskeeper, I reckon, but he's like, just smokes dourries in his shed. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It doesn't actually do any work. Yeah. I'm a student in your sociology course, and I'm wondering if I could get a short extension on this week's reflection.

I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday and thought the reflection was due on Sunday, not Friday. Okay. Meaning that she was going to compete on Friday. And then crank out a... Crank out an assignment. Go back to the athlete village and do an assignment. Yeah.

She then said, um... Proof, here is the Canadian Olympic Committee press release to confirm my participation. Amazing. Presley in Cortina. Yeah, thanks for your consideration. Now, luckily, they've emailed back. Hi, Madeline.

Wow. What a special moment. Yes, in the circumstances and extension is perfectly fine. I'd say focus on the competition right now and submit it directly to me when it's done. The triple-litz triple-toe combo is a pretty hard move to master. But you've got this. Good luck.

The whole country's spreading for you new team, mate. So she's got an extension. Professor Ronald McDonald. Now, he would be a professor. He would be a professor. He would be the dean of the university. Yeah, he would be. Norway, by the Waysley, leading the middle telly.

The ZDM Podcast Network. I'm getting a lot of advertising for articles telling you that the human body has two ages. We're at ages rapidly. Yes. And badly. Oh. And the ages are 60. That's a little wall off, not too much to worry about.

And 44, which is 10 days. away. Oh. What happens at 44 that makes you age so aggressively? Noticable shifts in the metabolism. Oh, that's already happened. It can't shift again. That happened a long time ago. That's some bullshit. That's mid-20s and then

in the early 30s. There simply can't be another handbrake in the mid-40s. Yeah. Muscle maintenance. Great. hormone balance. Leave me alone. Cellular repair. And my phone is bugged, so I don't know who smells that out, but I don't know what that's going to do with

44. Different cellular, I think. Cardiovascular risk markers, because as a dude, I know now I'm in Sniper's Alley. No, I think dude, Snipers Alley's 50 on. No, Snipers Alley's 40. I reckon Snipers, if you don't know what Sniper's Alley is, it's like you, men just drop dead of heart issues. Oh, yeah, I was listening. Oh, it is 40 to 60, sometimes up to 70.

Yeah, Snipers Alley. You're very fit. You exercise every day. No, I haven't for a little while because I've had this cold. Right. You'll be right. No, you're pretty healthy. And brain processing speed, which I've definitely noticed in the machine.

Oh, mine. Not as sharp as I used to be, that's for sure. And then there's this midacredonia the energy engines, that all becomes less efficient. Why are you panicking 10 days out from you? Slowing down. You lose 3 to 8% muscle mass per decade. My mum did see Vaughan the other day and say he's skinny. She thought I was Ozempic skinny.

She thought I was on Ozzymper. Without saying as much, she thought I was on Kilimanjaro. She was like, oh my God, has he been on Kilimanjaro? No, it was just because I was in shorts. And it often shocks people who have only ever seen me in longs. How skinny my legs is. You've got very skinny legs. Very skinny.

That, I've got a 14-year-old. When did that happen? I know, that just kind of felt like to happen on Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, so what, you're having a crisis? Well, no, I'm trying not to have a crisis. But my joints feel less stable, higher injury risk, fat gain becomes easier.

Four. Hormonal changes. Testosterone's declining 1% a year. Yeah, you're going to get soft. Get soft boy. Squidgey. Squidgey and soft. Why is this happening?

To go getting soft, really. Why don't want to get soft? Everything will be soft if you know what I mean. The joints, they get hard. Yeah. And the back gets hard. But I'm getting literally once a day in some form of social media feed it will be like,

scientists say, rapid aging at 44. I'm like, stop it. Yeah, but you're getting targeted that. Fletch is getting targeted, those Zempick. Mangearo. You got whatever. Yeah, be like, oh. Fat boy.

Yeah, I don't know why on Instagram thinks. Maybe I'll put on weight or something. Yeah, yeah. O'ie Chunky. I can sit in your face, Chonky. Are you doing things like, why am I such a fatty biscuit? No.

What biscuits won't make me fat? H-HAT GPT. No, I did Google. Can I finish these biscuits without a big of fat, fat, fat, fatty boy? I did Google a biscuit recipe at the weekend. Play Z-N's Flashworn and Haley. You know I live with my parents and so far loving it. And one of the jobs that they've absorbed from me is lawn mower.

Right. My dad mows the lawns. Sometimes mum will jump out on the wheat whacker and do the edges. I do it together. Sorry. The perimeter's the boundaries. The bushy perimeter. Thank you.

The weedy bit. Yeah, the weedy rim. Yep, great. Mom does the weedy rim, dad does the mower. Now, in my garage, for some reason I had a collection of about six to eight jerry cans filled with different petrels. Okay, yeah. I don't know.

Wait, that's a nightmare for a man that runs. a mix. Yeah. Which are mixed and which are fresh from the servo? No two-stroke max. This is the problem for one. Oh, Haley. The lawnmire has been running absolutely fine.

Craigie Bob decides he's going to do the lawnmire. Notices that the petrol is low. Yep. As he, you know, it makes sense. He goes into the garage. See he's a cherry can. Shake, shake, shakes. of sniff, that's petrol.

The old shaken sniff. Paws it in. Starts mowing the lawns. Yeah. Wait, you're not meant to put petrol in a lawnmower. No, you're not... If it's a two-stroke mower, you're supposed to put your petrol in your jericho can and then add your, like, two-stroke oil.

Yeah. And it lubricates the engine. But it's not that, it's a four-stroke. It's a four-stroke. Okay, so... What, say more oil? No, oil in a separate container in a dipstick. And he puts in...

the two-stroke mixed one. Right. So as he most... So as he... They're not labelled. I didn't even know they existed. I didn't even know

they were different. Okay. And clearly neither did my dad, Craig. Yeah. So he pours in something from the jerry can into the mower, starts mowing the lawns.

I'm not here for this, but as described to me, there was smoke, there was backfiring, there was spluttering. Yeah. And I'll say, and I say this with love to my dad,

the lawns look like shit. They look like shit. It was so bad. And so we leave it, you know, as is. I think my mum weed waxed as much as we can. We leave it, the lawns look terrible. And then over the weekend, you know, I've got my garage sale. People would have been coming up my driveway and seeing my weed patch.

And it looked terrible. And so I know I need to fix this lawnmower. Now I say to myself, I just need to take it to a guy. I'm that person now. then I'm a single unit, I'll take it to a guy, you know. But all new, no, no, no, no, we're going to save money. So here's what I did, and I'm quite proud. Okay.

With the help of Ouse, my chat GPT, I describe to Ouse what's happened. That we've put in the wrong thing and this is the thing and what needs to happen. It breaks down the instructions to me and I follow suit. one, we empty what's remaining in the lawnmower. We tip it upside down and tip it out. Now, we did just tip it into the bush, and good luck to the dogs at the bat. The bush will die. Yeah.

Bushes aren't, they don't run on petrol, they run on water and sunlight. Well, see you later. It's not in the mower anymore. Okay. Then I go to a, like a car shop, and I buy a specific spark plug. Remover. Remover.

Yeah. Because at first I just try to roll out. One I'm going to allocate. I've got to find the spark plug. I take off a thing and I think that's it. This is me. Haley James Sprout. Wow.

Yeah. Just had my nails done. They've got studs and sparkles, right? Here I am. Getting the spark plug revealed. Go to the shop. I get a like a brake cleaner or anything and I get the spark plug. I come back and I put the right fitting on and I put it on the thing and I twist it and I

remove the spark plug. As ooze, my chat GPT told me to do. Yeah. I get the brake cleaner on it. I give it a little clean. Because the oil and the two straight. would have gone on the spark plug and made it misfire or misfired. Made it misfire.

I give it a clean. This is the first step. The other one was I had to remove the sign and do all this like filter changing stuff, right? Put it all back together. Me alone, single, by myself, just doing this, taking a part of a lawnmower. Put it back together. Pump, pump, pump. A little bit of smoke as promised by oose, 60 seconds of smoke.

Normal. Clear it out. Fixed out. Wow. Great. I fixed my own lawnmower. And what did you do with the other petrol or mixes of fuel in the garage? I still don't know which ones is a witch.

All the cherry cans are all still unlabelled. Cherry cans of petrol? What are you made of money? Yeah, but what are the oily ones? I don't know what to do with them. But that's step one is I fixed my own lawnmower. I've never felt more accomplished in my life. Generally when you pour in the two-stroke additive, the oil rather, it's a color and it changes the color of the petrol.

This is what mum said was a bit pinkie. but if you add a blue and it goes like purply, that's how I always know. Yeah. I give a little poursome out for my homies on the ground and I'm like, bluey, that's already been mixed. See, now this is a thing, in general, I would say. As an apartment dweller, all of this talk of petrol powered engines. He's bamboozled. But this is a thing, Fletch though.

I checked out a while ago actually. In general, I would now be like, oh, you know, I'll just get Vaughn to come over and identify the petrol. But I feel so empowered by fix my own lawnmower. You can do it. I'm just going to do it myself. Me and Ouse. Changing the world. And fixing my own lawnmower. I'm very impressed.

Thank you. I am, yeah. Thank you. Well done. What's next? I'm going to build a... I'm going to build a garden box with wood and nails. Probably screws.

I don't know if you need Chachyapedy for that. You're just going to put it in the shape you want and the size you want. Yeah, it's a square with dirtnet. Yeah, square with dirten. But I'm going to do it myself. The Zat-N podcast network. If you've been living under a rock, there's a trend. and there's many montage videos that every time they come up

I watch all of them even if it's just a repeated one's already seen. But if you're going past a car, a light car accident. A light car accident. Or a car somewhere it definitely shouldn't be. You say... I threw a news story yesterday one drove into a pharmacy maybe. Did you see that? Yes, I did.

Where was that? Lower North Island? Yeah, somewhere. Shit, they got into that pharmacy too. That wasn't a whoopsie Daisy I've gone through or stopped. They got to the other side of the store from the window. Impressive effort. You can't part.

But you say you slow down and they obviously think you're going to show some concern and then you tell them they can't park there. It's so funny to me. Like these examples. You can't park your car here, ma'am. Are you blind? I don't think you can park there. I know I can't park there. Oh.

Excuse me, mate. You can't park there, sir. I know I can't park there. It's so good. It's so good. So it's been on the list of things I really want to. to do for a while. Yep.

I've seen a couple of cars like just in ditches on the side of the road, but nobody's there and I'll send a video to my mates, but they can't park there. But it's not as funny because it's a reaction. So imagine my pure delight when I'm driving home and I see a car that's gone through a three-rail fence. Now that's a wooden, they've gone through a wooden fence. That's cool. They've gone, imagine the noise. Yeah.

Now the car's in there. There's a few people around. there's another car stopped. It's out the driver's side window. All the elements are lining up. For this to be, lovely day, by the way, blue sky. Oh, this is perfect boy. I know.

And I'm just getting ready. I'm like, it's simply the start of February, and I'm about to tick off one of the big 2026 goals. Down goes the window. In goes the breath. As I look and I see a woman absolutely bawling, leaning against her car, like bawling her eyes out, like emotionally wrecked and ruined

probably in shock. Yeah. And I'm just like, God damn it. I'm like, pull my window back up and I didn't get to say to where you can't park. You just showed us a photo of this and she had gone like way off the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She was through through, through like rails. I know. It's perfect. And the car's bum was poking up a little bit. Oh, perfect. No one was hurt. Well, no, yeah, she was out. I don't see.

I mean, I didn't give the airbags a real good look, but it didn't look like an airbag situation. It's hard to yell at a woman who's in tears. I know, yeah. If it had been a dude, it would have been both parents. What about if the dude was in tears? Yeah, funnier, even better. Probably still would have.

The funny thing about the videos is they lull them into a hey. Hey. Like, they're just about to ask if they're okay. Hey. Oh my God, hey. You can't park there. You can't park there. That's the attitude you want to give them like that tone.

Hey. You can't park there. Confused. They are confused. Does this feel like a. once in a lifetime opportunity. Nah, I'm hanging in there that because of that, I'm going to get some good karma.

Yeah. Because the lady was upset and I didn't make it any worse. Yeah. So I reckon the powers that be are lining me up even better one. Yeah. It's going to be a guy. He's going to be in like, you know,

one of those big souped up Toyota surfs that are like super loud and high on fire. It's on fire. Maybe it's smoking. Maybe it's on fire. It could be on fire. And he's going to have a little. flat peak hat on.

Yeah. He's going to look like a real piece of shit. And I'm going to be able to say to him, mate, you can't park there. But you know what? You also need to make sure you've got clear traffic in front of you. I don't get the hell out of there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you can't get away, you're probably going to get your head baths.

It's my worst nightmare to then have him run at the car, me, pan it, floor it, smash into the car in front of him and then someone go around me about, you can't park there. Yeah, yeah. And it's just cyclical. It's a double you can't park there. And you know what? That would be absolute calmer for you. That would be. Brilliant.

I'd almost laugh. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Forne and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do do, do, do do do do do. Do do do do do do do do. I thank you for your messages of support overnight for Chess Week. And people say maybe this topic was a little bit nilip.

nuanced for these two, Cretans and Studio. Wow. It's just giving big calendar week, which historically was the worst week of fact of the day in the history. Show us these messages of support overnight. Oh, I get hundreds of messages. Show us some. Oh, they were all disappearing. Because I saw the text machine yesterday, and I would say it was heavily weighing towards this is boring.

No, it's not boring. It's interesting. Okay, well. Chess week. Well, are we all familiar with the night in chess? Yes. The one that looks like the horse? Yeah.

It moves in an L shape. It moves in an owl shape, Haley. Yes, it does. How do you know that? How do you know that? Went to private school. We sort of taught these things. Yum.

Yeah. So the L shape is like three up and one across or, you know, three across and one up. Fletcher's an owl. You're familiar with an L? No, I've tuned out because I like board games more. Like other board games. Maybe we should get a deck of cards for when we're doing Fact of the Day this week. We could do a deck of cards week.

Well, make, incorporate it into this one. No, it's not. This is chess week. Someone just messaged on a text machine. Boring. Oh, no, don't say that. You don't even know yet. It's not boring.

Okay, we'll hit us with the fact. Okay, so there is a thing called the Knight's Tour where the Knight can touch every one of the squares on the chessboard without touching one twice. That sucks. Still bored. Like, imagine going to a party and that's your little tidbit around the cooler. Yep.

Hey, did you guys know in the game of chess that the night? The night can do a thing called the night's tour. Yeah. And it goes around the board. Uh, uh, uh, uh, do it then. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, it broke computers. When they first got chess onto computers, they said to it, make the, make this move around the board, only touching one square each, but it needs to touch every square once.

Can we've had a yawn emoji? Can you talk about cheese, not chess? It was, oh, cheese week. We've had, oh, my God. We've done cheese week. Yeah, but we do it. It is a good. It is a good.

Come up with a different topic every week. I can actually read sarcasm. Oh my God, that's so interesting. Love chess week. They're not being sarcastic. You're just going to say everybody is being sarcastic. Originally known as the horse's bondage. It's still boring.

It was a test of mathematical prowess in ninth century India. Then in the 1700s, Lenhard Euler, one of the greatest mathematicians ever. Yulha. Studied it and provided like systems on way to do it. There are trillions of possible tours. there are 26 trillion distinct open tours. An open tour is where it ends and it's touched every bit,

but then it can't move back to the starting piece. That's called a close tour, and there are six trillion options for that in a standard eight-by-eight chessboard. We could have done bungee jumping week. Oh no, someone's fallen asleep at the wheel. They would be good, yeah. No, did the person that fell asleep at the wheel crash?

Because you can't park there. No, there's two. There's two crashes. Someone said, I'm falling asleep with the wheel. Someone said, I just crashed on falling asleep while driving. Hey, mate. can't park there. Someone said, dare I say, can we go back to calendar week? Oh yeah. You know it's bad when people want facts about calendars all week.

I'm actually planning on having a big old hussy fit. Well, Haley and I did give you an out yesterday by pivoting to board game week. I feel like with your support, this could have been a fantastic week. Tomorrow I want a positive attitude and you watch the whole mood will change. Someone said this is almost as good as calendar week. Well, join us tomorrow when Haley and I feign interest. another fact about chess and it will still be boring.

You think we'll do well-vorn if we really get into it. If you guys get behind it. Okay. The best thing about this fact of the day is the other two giving you shit. The other very interesting thing about the night, of course,

is the only chess piece that can jump. And it can jump all of the bits between its start position and its end position. Why don't you go tell these facts to some old man at a park playing chess? Some old Italian man.

Yeah, yeah. how they sit around in Italy. He might know them. Or he might just fall asleep. Yeah. Which would be nice. Sure. He needs his mid-afternoon, now.

We're going to get him back to the home. Someone's literally just switched over to Mike Hosking. Now, that's, that, that hurts. Well, that's, that hurts. Doesn't he finish at 830? Lazy? Doesn't he? No.

Yeah. Come on, wrap it up. So today's... You already caused eight incidents. Someone said we're losers. I mean, this is just pain. Well, we're losers by association to this. He's out of me.

They said we're losers. All of us. Oh, I'm sorry. Chess, a game that stood the test of time. For millennia. Why don't we do rollercoaster week? We could have done Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Scrabble. I feel like we've done roller coaster week. Theme park week.

I feel like we've done Fun park. Everybody loves a theme park. Lollies week. Lollie? Oh my God, Lollies. Fizzies week. Like when was the fizzy Coke bottle invented? I don't even know. That would be a fact that I would love to know.

It doesn't matter. I feel like we've talked about the origins of fizzy Coke bottles. Someone said chest week would have. been better. Chist. Pervy. First, we can't simply do that.

How do I explain to my children who are in the car on the way to school that the people have chests? I'm so impressed of chess week. I'm immediately recommending

ZDM to all of my friends. Now again, you put a sarcastic tone on it that's not the sarcastic tone. Okay. Today's fact of the day is there are, it turns out. Bullying's back,

billions. Trillions of ways that the night, the chess piece can touch every single square on the board without touching the same piece twice. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Do do-da-do-do-dood-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dip-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do-d-d-d-do. Is lifeline still 1737-37? Vorn! Just be worried of your actions. I just think maybe we should have a committee to just run through the fact before we do it. The theme for the week. We don't know what he does until literally like 8.30 every day. And now here we are stuck.

You guys are ruining chess week. Thank you. They are. Play ZDN's flesh, one and Haley. Little thread I found online. Thread? Thread? Thread.

Sounded weird. You know when I said it out loud like that wasn't a real word and I'd made it up? Thread. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Big your pardon. I'm having a mountdown.

The Petty Hills, women in particular, are absolutely willing to die on. I'm always amazed at the amount of energy that people spend, like, doing stuff like this where it just like, just let it go. No, no, no, no, no. You're going to be so into all of this. Energy well spent.

Okay, this is one my mum does. If you walk into a store and they don't immediately greet you, I'm not buying anything. Oh, no, don't worry about that. And my mum will go in it and she'll be like, well, you know, and then she'll do that like, I'll take my money elsewhere kind of vibes.

There are definitely, especially clothing stores that are like that, everyone works there is too cool. Yeah, yeah. And you can just tell. And so, yeah, I kind of get that. Refusing to surrender armrest space when in the middle seat on a plane. Like, they really know. You're in the middle, you get the armrests.

Both of them? Yes. I think so. Really? Yes. Isle gets left, window gets right. Because you've got more room on either side. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Loudly saying you're welcome when someone doesn't thank you for a courtesy. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got to the point where if people didn't give me a little acknowledgement on a zebra crossing, I'd lightly toot. That's the petty hill I'm going to die on. Or when you wait for someone to come up the stairs at the gym and they don't acknowledge you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're open for them.

Walking straight into people who try to board a train or elevator before letting you off. You know, when it opens, you're supposed to let people out first. Oh, you've got to get off before you can get on. Yeah, exactly. So the petty hill, this person was... I've actually... Okay, yeah, see I said I wasn't petty, but maybe I am, because I do this when people walk down the street,

and it's a very narrow footpath and they're walking three across. Yes. The one on the side doesn't move because they want to be chatting to their friends, and I just walk straight at them. Yeah, so that's your petty hill. And they look at me like, what are you doing? I'm like, well, you're taking up the entire footpath. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do the same.

Someone said that if a man's walking towards them, they'll never adjust their stride. You adjust for me. I'm sorry, man or woman, if you take up the whole footpath, Move. Saying the line starts back there when someone tries to cut in. Death steering loud talkers in a quiet carriage on a plane or a train or a bus or something like that. There's so many.

Calling out people who litter. Making someone, like if someone, even if there's other seats on public transport, if someone has a bag that they've put, you know, a seat where they've put the bag on choosing that seat. Yeah. This kind of petty behavior. is what I want to hear from our listeners, what is the petty hill that you will die on? Yeah, that petty stuff you always call out or just really...

Maybe it's, um, mine's definitely, if the toilet paper roll is empty and it hasn't been removed, putting down the toilet seat and putting it on top so that the next person... It's like, Haley, what is the energy here? Like, you could just put it in the bin and it's all sorted.

Yeah. But it's like, no, I want you to know that this is not my job to do this. You just put it on their side of the bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when they get into bed, they're like, why is there a toilet roll here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

And then if they don't change their behaviour after that, you put spikes on it. Well, I was going to say, just put a bit of poo on their pillow case and say, well, because you use the toilet paper to replace it, I had to find somebody to wipe with. Yeah. It seems toxic.

That's really petty. Yeah. If that's the hill you want to die on, that's fine. Okay, give us a call. Oh, 800 dials at him. Text through 9-696. Tell us the petty hill that you're willing to die on. Talking now about the petty hells that you will die on.

Yeah, a lot of people sharing online, I mean the grammatically correct people coming in here when you say me and Vaughan are going to the shops? Yes. Vaughn and I go to the shops. Aidan, what is the petty hell that you will die on? Yeah, I reckon that there's like a special place in hell for the people that try and get ahead an emerging lane. So they'll jump into the right lane and get ahead of you. I hate that.

I would like purposely sit in front of you and I'm like, nah. You stay back there. Yes. No, I'm going to get round you. I'm going to get round you. I know that feeling, eh, when you're like, this is my personal duty. To muck up your day now. Other people have that petty hill, that petty thing where they won't let in a car

because I was with our friend Mike at the weekend on the motorway. And no one would let him in, but he was driving one of those rich wanky cars. Yeah, yeah. He's got the defender. And he was like, people won't let us in. I'm like, yeah, but they'd let us in if we're in a dunger. Yeah, it's totally a thing, eh, do you do that where you're like, you don't let them in?

I don't let outies in. I'm not letting a Lamborghini in. You've got all day, mate. Aiden, thank you. Let's go to T. T, what's the pettie hill that you'll die on? Tea. Oh, hi.

So my pettie hill that I will die on is when I'm breastfeeding and someone looks at me funny and expects me to stop. Oh, no, yeah. Yeah. What do you flop the other tit out for good measure, too? Yeah, flop and boom. I would. I would.

Yeah, good on you. Good on, you love. Yeah, well, if we're going to have one out, you're trying to keep a human being alive. Yeah, you might as well to show them both. Yeah. I do this exact same thing, I reckon. And I don't even breastfeed.

I'll just get them out. She's a problem. It's a problem. It's a reason to get them out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. T, thank you. Some messages in. We asked on Instagram and some replies.

When somebody says, I could care less, I said, actually, it's I couldn't care less. Yeah. Unless you could care less. Yeah. If I wish you a happy birthday and you don't do the same, then we're no longer friends, says Martz. If someone forces their way out of a junction,

I'll speed up purposely not to let them out. That's another traffic situation. Crocs are not for adults. Oh, you wore crocs to Laneway. Yeah, they were perfect. I love Crocs. They were perfect. I love this one.

My Petty Hill I'll die on is if I see someone in the express lane, 12 item express lane, I start loudly counting their items. Got to 16 the other day, and the lady had a meltdown at me. Lydia said Audio books do not count as reading You can say you listen to a book But you can't say you read a book No they are so

I've read that book Petty hells that you will die on That's just so good I love it Merging if you merge too early And that starts backing up traffic I'll take advantage of that empty lane And zoom right up

Until that lane disappears No Yeah that's me That's me I love doing that I love doing that No you can't do that No it's an empty lane It's a lot of wasted time here

When someone says Ux not ask Oh yeah, correction. Big a pardon? I love asking people if they need a dog poo bag when they just leave the dog poo bag without picking it up. Excuse me?

Do you need one of these? You need to borrow a bag. Yeah, do you borrow one? I'm English, reads this text so we're pretty good at being petty. The other day I went to the beach, I came out with the kids in a bloke had parked right up against the car,

couldn't get a wafer thin mint between them. So I called him out on it. And the thing was there was no one parked on the other side of the car so we totally could have got in and climbed across the seat. But that's not what's all about. Yeah, I do this. If someone says a Māi word

with atrocious pronunciation, I'd be like, what, sorry, where? What? What? Taupo. Where's that? What? Taupo. Oh, interesting.

I know where that is now. Yeah. That immovable. What is the old saying about an unstoppable object meeting an immovable, an unstoppable force making an immovable object? Because I bet there'd be some old girls.

Oh, yeah. Some old boys in this country that would never attempt. You could be there for an hour. And they're just saying it over around. Wang Array. What? Wang Array. What?

Rang Array. Where's that? Up north, wangoray. Nope, don't know it. Wangaray. Oh, wang array. I love the amount of messages in for if someone tailgates you, slowing right down and ruining their day. I'll always do that.

I've always said if I win lotto, I'll just slam the brakes on. Yeah. You know, because it wouldn't matter. I'd just go buy an old car. Should have been following so close, mate. And just get a rad bullbar around the back of the car. Yes. So I can take a real high.

With spikes on it. Yeah, with spikes on it. Why don't I put spikes on it? Might not go to war in a fitness? Might not. I don't know the rules. I don't know where the VTN stands on spikes. I feel like you're not allowed spikes unless it's a post-apocalyptic world.

Not allowed spikes. That's PC madness, Mike. I know. Some other ones in here. I still give people the silent treatment until they apologize. Oh. Yeah. I mean, that's fine if we know what we've done,

but sometimes we don't know what we've done. We're not mine readers. Yeah, no, you're not. Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing's wrong. When people don't get off the plane in order. When someone whose rows back just starts weaving up the plane,

it's like, excuse me, wait for everybody else. I did that. Unless you're going to do poo in your pants and you go to the toilet. I did that. I stopped someone so the other row, the ladies and stuff, could get out because some guy was just going right down. I love the amount of people who are the petty hills are down, they'll physically put themselves in the way of someone.

My petty hill is whenever I find my kids clothes, the shoes lying on the floor, I throw them out the nearest door or window. it makes me feel a lot better and stops me spending on my turn nagging for them to pick up their crap. Throw them out the window. Then you've got to go out and get the things

because they're not going. Then if it rains and stuff. Yeah. And then you're going to have to buy the new one. When someone tries to cut in by going up the off ramp lane, oh yeah, like they're going to overtake you. I just speed up and slow down

and force them to have to use that exit. Oh, that's devious. That's so good. That'll teach you. Can't get back off, can you? The ZDN Podcast Network. What's going on? ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

660 on ZM, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. And, oh, they're in studio with us. Jai, Chris, Matthew, welcome. Morning, guys. Good morning. Morning. Chris and Jai have to share a mic. We've brought this up there.

You've got talking to the mic. You've got to talk into the mic. It's a special musician. Yeah, yeah. Now, we were just looking, we were just reflecting, Because you guys are about, are you going to be the first to perform in the new theatre at the convention centre? Yep. This is the one that famously caught fire.

Yeah. When somebody put down their blowtorch went on Smokoe. Yeah. Yes. That was 2019. And it's only just opening. God, we move fast to New Zealand. Yeah.

Break next speed, mate. They put on a hustle. Is there kind of a charred smell on the convention centre or have they got that out? I think they've for breathed it, man. They got rug doctors. They go out of rice. Yeah, they had to give a bit of incense.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. So it's, it's called the Te Pai Pai Theatre. How big is it? How many does it see in the theatre? About 3,000 in there? That's nice, that's nice. It's kind of perfect,

because Parts. Because what would the next one be? The Civic is like two, and then you're going to get massive. You're going to spark arena. And then how many... What about the town hall? How many can fit in there?

That's pretty... For us a small. I'd say 1500. So this is going to be a great venue for like mid-sized kind of bands or a bit of touring. Are you guys doing it to celebrate the opening of it? Because no offence, but you guys can do like Even Park. Not but not really doing it for that. I mean, this is on Friday we have got our album coming out.

We're going to do an album release concert. So something different, I suppose, for our fans, we're going to be listening to the whole new album. And they'll only have had 10 hours to kind of study up on it. you know. Yeah, yeah. So it is a celebration of our new album but also we're playing a bunch of the classics.

Oh, sorry, when you said, because the new album right here right now, when you said listen to it, I was like, what, are you guys just going to sit around? Put it on the CD player. A lot of people are like, you know, are we just sitting there and listening to it? Yeah, what is the listening part.

We're playing a gig. Like, this is the new show. So you play it top to bottom. Well, you know, with a couple of hits in the 20 sections in there. But you recorded the new album like a live show, right? Everything was reported at once. It wasn't done track by track or. Yeah, yeah.

That's Stebbings. Have you know that old building up on Deervois Road? Stebbings Drive Pluset? Yes. Like it was built in like the 60s or 70s. And it's still the 60s inside there, dude. It's exactly the same. Yeah.

Oh, wow. Do you ever feel, like, do you prefer as a band these intimate venues? Or do you like love the Eden Park, the huge crowds? I think we just love them all. We'd love to perform, you know, in the space of a year, we went from playing a stadium to playing the Opera House steps to playing the Chatham Islands to playing at a convention center. The Chathamarales.

Huge turnout of the Chatham. Why did you play? What was that like? It was amazing. Windy. Did you get it? Isn't it one flight in a week, one flight out a week?

No, it's daily flights. I think at peak it might be daily. There might be a time. Okay, so it's weekly. Is it no way? Yeah, I think they've got one or two a week. Yeah, okay. Is it new way?

You guys played New Way? No, no, it's probably on the cars in the future. Yeah. But, no, we just, they're all fun for their own reasons. You can be a bit lighter with these smaller intimate venues and the bigger stadiums like it's kind of clockwork. You're trying to get the attention of 40,000 people at once. So it's a bit more drilled in. Because you guys are playing the new Christchurch stadium, right?

That's in May 16. Yeah. Are you looking forward to that, Chris? I just realized you're sort of hanging off the side of the mark or just bringing you into the... I'm just chilling out of the here, just kind of getting the aura of the group. Just do a vibe chair? Yeah, no, I mean, Christchie is going to be amazing. We're lucky enough to go check out the stadium.

had a look around it. I want a nosy. It's real cool. Like, they've done such a good job. I've heard that. And, you know, it's just, it's really special for Christchurch. You know?

Yeah. It's been a long, you know, the song playing underneath us, you know, it's been a bumpy road. You know, Christchurch has had a hard time of it. And so, this is going to be a huge cell.

Oh, I'll tell you later. Yeah, I'll tell you later. It's too soon, mate. Yeah, well. One flight and one flight out. And your Princess Diana jokes. It's too soon. Yeah, but that's going to be amazing.

Because like, we win to. Isn't there in the 90s? 1997, August 31st, didn't forget. And we honour her every day. Lady guys in the corner there. R.O. Possible. But we went, like, that's so good that venue because... R.A. Princess.

We went to Ed Shearing in that kind of like makeshift. Yes. Sort of shipping container thing, which is... What's the name of that stadium? Shipping container. Ship and container stadium too. Yeah, yeah. So with a new...

Do you get tours of all? Because you said you had a tour of the stadium and you've been into the new international convention. Have you been in the city rail loop or anything else? Or is it? We could if we ask someone. That's really cool. We should play the city around, look.

That'd be great, just like a little intimate venue on the train. What would the acoustics be like in a rail tunnel? Terrible, dude. Terrible. It is funny how... It is funny the places we can go. We kind of got a key to the... We're at the very top of Skytow the other day.

Playing a couple of songs. I'm not in the revolving restaurant time. I'm talking like climbing ladders. Oh, yeah, I've done that. It's quite, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You've been able to do that and then they shut it down.

I think all the antennas there, maybe. Well, it's when you get microwave and your brain up there, you're in amongst all the satellite dishes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, really? You might want to go to an oncologist and get a scan. Because there were, this building contains asbestos signs everywhere. It makes sense actually talking to you guys.

Do you, as a band, do you talk about your goals? Because, like, you guys, you just sell out everything. And, like, after COVID, we were, like, so happy for 660, like the biggest concert in the world. Then Metallica, like, one of the greatest bands of all times. came here and covered your song. Did they do a good job? Not important.

Not important. You know, up to the chooser. But do you have like more goals as a group that you want to tick off? Yeah, yeah. All the time? Like there's no end inside, obviously. But we just want, I guess we want to, we understand like how great, like how amazing is we get to do this.

Yeah. We're doing something we love and get to make a living from it. I guess we want to do this for as long as possible. At the highest level we can possibly do. Yeah. Really, you know, at the beginning, we actually kind of, we considered things were valuable because it was like really hard and stressful. And I think it's kind of evolved into just how much joy and fun we're having in these processes.

So maybe the goal is just to have as much fun for as long as possible, as long as people are paying attention. That's cool. And aside from the New Zealand gigs coming up, any plans to go to the Aussie and Europe kind of places? There's a whole run, whole world tour being put together. I'm sure that I had nothing to do with. You just get on our plane to somewhere. That I'll get an email about at some point

and have to tell my wife that I'm leaving. We should add new A to the list. You know, you haven't been. You'll be gone for a week. One flight in, one flight out. Yeah, yeah. Well, so your new album right here right now out on Friday.

Good luck. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If you are going to be doing any blow torching, don't put it down and walk away for Smiko. Okay, thank you very much. I might just leave my heart.

I'm not just strictly no pyro in that video. Oh, you're no pyro. Leave your blowtorch at home. 660, thank you so much. Thank you. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch forne and Haley. I want to ask, what did you do with the money that you found?

Be it, you stumbled across it on the street, or maybe you found it in your house. I went to an ATM once and it was just in the money back. In the little... Yeah. How much? It was 100, I think. A true or a lie that if you don't take your money out of the cash machine after a certain amount of time, it sucks it back in. Maybe now it does.

Mine screamed at me once. That's why they give you the card first. Because most people take the money and then just forget their card. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it goes card, then money. And they, the receipt was still there. Yeah. So I went back to the bank because they only had like 20 bucks left.

Yeah, right. Because I was like, if they had like 20,000, I would have taken it. Okay, well, what about $200,000? That's mine. No, wait, we've talked about this before, right? So this was in 2021. There was a couple who went into the ceiling of their house and in, tucked within the insulation,

your pink bats or whatever it was, were these, I want to say it looks like criminal bricks of cash to the tune of $200,000. Life-changing amount of money. Yes. And since 2021, they reported it to the police and said, you know, the police said it would probably be

proceeds of crime and whatnot. It's dirty money. But this couple have been in court since then, basically, saying that they should be able to keep the money because they had no part in any of the criminal activity. Also, how do they, have the police proved it was part of... Yeah, is this not covered under 1974's Finders' Lizzers Weepers Act? The Second Amendment.

Finers' Equipers' Writers. Yeah, well, and of course, the First Amendment. No good. There wasn't enough rights for weepers. No, no, no, no, no. Really? It was actually a fine. Keepers, losers. Weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, we.

Suck it. No money. I don't know if the courts actually proved it or not. I can't see, but the thinking behind their lawyer's point of view is that they should be able to keep it. They found it. They were not. They owned the property now. They were not involved in the crime that this has come from. And if the courts rule that they can't have this, it's just going to discourage people from bringing this forward.

And then, you know, bringing other. findings for which may lead police to actual crime and whatnot. Because if you find something that's not a proceed of crime, like on the street you found $200,000 in a bag, you would get it back if nobody came forward. Nobody claimed it and to prove it was theirs. Yes. Yeah. Right.

Interesting. The lawyer also said that in a number of other countries, cases just like this, even if they have proven that it's drug money, eventually would be returned to finders keepers lose as sweepers. of 1974 Second Amendment. Exactly. What is going to happen to the money then? So, yeah, so they've ruled, the court ruled, no.

This is just yesterday the court said, no, you can't have it. So they're still fighting to be like, why not? Also, at this stage, have they spent $200,000 on lawyers? Oh, probably. Or do you think some lawyer did it for free? Pro bono. Yeah. Yeah.

Interesting. Yeah, I know. I kind of get why you would come forward because if that is drug money and someone is locked up in prison and then they get out and want their money back and they come around to your house. Yeah, so originally when they first found it, police went and they installed cameras and all sorts of security measures at their house

just to make sure that, yeah, someone wasn't like, I know where that is. Yeah, yeah. Wow. So reporting it would be the best thing to do if you found it because you might be in danger. But anyway, I don't think we're going to hear from anyone that's found something that big. But what did you do with the money you found?

Be it big or small? Yeah. Did you tell? Did you sit on it? Do you spend it? If it's just a note, you take it, right? Or maybe you took a note and then someone came after it. It was theirs.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, this happens all the time. People just drop money. Oh, 800 dials at M. Give us a call. You can text through 9-696. What did you do with the money that you found?

Give us a call, text in, sit em. Asking you right now, what did you do with the money that you found? There's a couple that found $200,000 in their ceiling in Christchurch a number of years ago. and court has ruled that they don't get to keep it. They're fighting that, they're fighting it. Because how nice would $200,000 little $1,000 dropped in your pocket?

Police get to keep it and what are they going to buy some battering rams or something? It's a crisp air. Right, like it goes back into the kitty. Well, what does the kitty get spent on? Pepper spray? Pepper spray, rubber bullets. And tasers, probably more guns.

Those expensive black boots, the cops wear, those tight little t-shirts that they wear. Actually, there's been a, yeah. the seamstress. It pays for the seamstress for who tightens those little sleeves. Now you're happy this family didn't get that $200,000. It's just a good use of money. Emily, what happened to the money that you found?

You found a wallet. We found a wallet in a store. We were on our way to our high school entrance exams. And this wallet was like so full of money. There was absolutely no way it was going to close. Like it was bursting. And we very kindly, being a bunch of 13-year-olds, to take it to the customer service.

And the guy came up and he got it and he was so overjoyed. And he said, oh, they found it and he gave us enough money to go and get some McDonald's. I mean, you weren't empty-handed. That's all you need when you're 13. Yeah. Just a bit of non-ies. It was great. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Emily, thank you. Let's go to Anna. Anna. What happened to the money that you found? I found a lot of thousands and thousands of thousands of dollars. and a phone voice outside the FBI building in the States. That's dodging.

This is the start of a movie, Anna. Yeah, no, right. And I'm thinking someone's put a cross on a lamppost so they know that the money's been dropped off. And I'm looking around thinking, I'm about to like be shot. Yeah. You know, fascination style.

I tell you not so. So, yeah, I took it into the FBI building, but I did say that I wanted someone to look after me because I was scared I was going to get shot by Hitman. It's pretty sick. They're just like, oh my God. Yeah, they're like, all right, New Zealand, calm down. I just wound him, you get shot.

Then they opened a bag and it was a travel agent who had left her banking there when she was on a phone call. Oh, my God. That's amazing. Damn it, I should have taken it. Yeah, because it's not crime. It's just some silly tart who left it behind. unforgettable. I got a really beautiful thank you card

with 20 American dollars. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, 20 bucks. I mean, you know, they probably weren't getting paid much, and it was the store's money, but I'd want at least 100. All right, but yeah, I've got to say, I've never been so petrified, but then I was quite excited.

I thought, oh, maybe I'm like a little of a drug bust and I'll be on, like, TV and... Yeah. Could be the thrill of your life, Anna. Yeah. That's the thing, though, you take that money. if you didn't know it was, you know, from a business, you'd always be looking over your shoulder, wouldn't you?

Yeah, you would be it, yeah. Absolutely. It's a little exciting though, eh? It was. Great story. I love that. FBI building made it. Yeah.

Super exciting. Thank you. Some messages in. I was waiting at an ATM, and an old lady got her money out, and she was very paranoid looking over her shoulder, then left in a rush, and I moved forward, did my thing,

got out $20, and then the tray was $300 plus my $20, so I ran down the street and passed her cash. Not a single thank you. was a filthy look. What? That is disgusting. That is disgusting. I was kicking leaves walking up Queen Street and looked down to realize there was $300 worth of cash.

Just in amongst the leaves. Oh, so it must have fallen out of someone's pocket. Oh. I saw it. I picked it all up. I gave a few hundred bucks to some people living rough nearby and then kept the rest. Good stuff. Good stuff. Really good. I found a crisp $100 note in our front garden by our front door recent. It looked like it had been placed there. We asked our neighbours if it was theirs about a week.

after a week we decided to keep it got ourselves an outdoor gazeba. Oh, lovely. Lovely. That's lovely. For $100 though, that's a take down in the wind gazebo or that's going to end up. That's going into the neighbours.

It's not a permanent, yeah. Ranch lighter, isn't it? I work in a retirement village, found a $50 a note outside of residence window. She was home. I could have returned it instead. I bought a box of beers for the shed. I was going to mention it to her.

She passed away soon afterwards. It haunts me to this day. Look. Oh, I'm sure. She wouldn't have been out of it. to spend it anyway. She would have wanted you to have a box of beers for the shed. She would have. She would have wanted that.

She's actually passed on that message to us through a minute. Hold on. She's stoked. What kind of bears did you get? Yep. That's what she wants. Actually, she's holding judgment until she finds out what kind of bears you got. Yeah, because if you say like Tuwey or you know what I mean, she's going to be like... Yeah, she's $50 by yourself a night.

$8.6.2, we need to know what kind of beers you purchased. Ethel's $50. We'll follow up with that next. Also, producer Shannon has had somewhat of a disruption to her daily routine and she's absolutely devastated. Yeah, by this news. Play. Play ZN.

Flet's one and Haley. Boxer Hinekins. Oh, 24 Boxer Hinekins is what that guy bought with the $50. It fell out of a pensioner's window at the retirement village. Only days before she passed. At least it was a 24 bag. 24 for 50. You know, that was recent.

That's not a bad. He's had a good find there. When I have a Hineken, I'm like, nothing wrong with that. You know? Yeah, it's got to be super cold. There it is. Cold beer. Got to be cold.

Now, our producer, Shannon, actually been having a bit of a rough run lately. You've been quite unwell. We've missed you while you've been away. And... Well, she's had her crochet and likeness stolen. Yeah, she's a crochet and lightness stolen. She's on a crochet break because of a blood clot in your arm.

Yeah. Soft launch. I got a blood clot. Soft launch on the blood clot. Oh, that was probably a hard launch, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah, true. But just when we think things couldn't get worse for Shannon

Oh my goodness She's actually had some devastating years I'm glad we've all gathered here to talk about this Because it's been hard for me this last week And I've been dying to chat to my good genuine friends Which won Haley and Carwin Now as you know I am a big wordal player

I spend about $90 a year On my New York Times subscription And I play all of the games Every day religiously And you never stopped Like even when it went out of Vogue and we all decided Fletch and I went first

and then, you know, Vaughn sort of tottered off a bit. Yeah, no, I'm in and I play every game I do the crossword every single day. The mini or the big? Big. Interesting, the Dr. Shawnee hasn't messaged for crossword help today. He won't message you ever again.

Oh, he was in person. Before Laneway, he was just dropping like half-finished crosswords on me and I was just like, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Oh, so he's going to message you now. You're out the door. You've been replaced. Have you been replaced?

How do I should cross-word cross-check? You could connect. I have talked about it a little bit of pot. Dr. Shawnee sucks at crosswords. Yeah, by the way, he wasn't happy about no. He was like red, irritated patch of skin, four letters starts with R, ends with H. I'm like, rash.

Yeah. Okay, that is a joke now. He was very upset with what you said about him. So I just read lightly. He's upset because it's the truth ringing the doorbell. Oh, my. Ding on. It's the truth.

And sometimes it's hard to face, pretend you're not well. This is the man that diagnosed and healed my two-month long staff. I know. He's a great doctor. Medical professional,

six letters long, starts with D, third letters to C, last one's an R. He's just like, I don't know what it is, man. He's going to come back to me. It's doctor, dude.

It is you. He's coming back to me for the crossword help after this. One of them was Irish name, often spout S-H-A-U-N, four letters. Starts with S, ends with the end,

and I'm like, it's Sean. It's you. It is his name. Well, anyway. There's been a big change to New York Times. And this is revolutionary for Wordle. So as you know, there's a five-letter word. Once a word has been the answer, it's off the list.

So people will change what their starting word is, because if it's been an answer, you couldn't get it in one. Toast is a good one. Oh, no, that's got two T's. No, two T's a horrible starting word, actually. It's a terrible starting word. Loathe. Taser Cloud Pinky are my three words.

And it gets all the vowels, get some of the good consonants. But big news in Wurdle land. She's upset. By the way, she's been in hospital for a week. This is the most upsetting thing she's faced lately. She's had extreme health issues, but she's very upset about this. This is what's upset at the most. The past answers are now eligible for a second round.

And they did this right. So the first ever answer in Werdle was the word cigar. And they said, hey guys, we're bringing back the answers. And I said, there's no way they couldn't do it, day one. Have they run out of five-letter words? Is that the problem? Yeah, basically. Oh, wow.

So it has to be a word that the general public would know. when he made it, he asked his wife every day, is this a word you know? And he's kind of run out of those words. Recently it was extol and everyone was mad because of rocked. So he brought back for the first time, since day one, cigar was the answer. And people were up in arms, including myself.

This is really, really upset me. Why not just go to six letters then? Well, don't be crazy. It's insane. Calm down. What are you talking about? Well, there's octet. Okay, Dr. Shawnee, calm down with your word games.

Oh my gosh. I just googled Who is still playing Wordle? And it says here, listen to this. Wurdle remains highly popular with millions of daily players even years after its 2021 launch. The audience size, blah, blah, blah,

player-based demographics. Here we go. Middle-aged adults, 35 to 54. Yeah, but that's Shannon's spirit. Yeah. Because remember how much she thrived on a cruise ship? You did. And remember the Challenger crash 40 years ago?

I think myself and my fellow crossword is all Had a really... Shannon, you're in the 20s. There's no way you remember the challenge of crash 40 years ago. It's had such an impact on my life that I feel like I was there.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, thoughts and praise to those... Well, stay safe out there. Cigar is off the table. So, steam, my starting word steam is back on the table. It's back on the table. So you could get a one now. Steam's brilliant.

I do meats. I do steak. But it could never be meats, Haley. Haley, it could never be meats because it can't be a plural word. It's not a plural. So he's just states way better I'm not an idiot

I just got out of Wordle at the right time which was honestly years ago 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 Yeah like no no no we'll just Yeah we won't maybe we won't say nice Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts the company makes. Oh no, but only after Alves.
