Starting point is 00:00:00 from the ZM Podcast Network. This is... Fleshwoman and Haley's Big Pod. Thanks to animates. Making happy happen for pets. Thank you, Bryn. I do have questions, though, about the animals that we've lost
Starting point is 00:00:14 in the war efforts. They've little helmets. Turtles and wartime refers to... Turtles and cats. What were the turtles and cats? The cats were for pets to make everybody feel better. The turtles are little helmets,
Starting point is 00:00:24 emergency helmets and war zones. If you can't find a helmet, quickly pick up a turrets. Hollow it out. Several attempts were made using turtles to fix explosives to the underside of our warships. Oh wait, that was in 1776. So we're talking the American Independence War. We're talking to Alexander Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:00:41 No, these were New Zealand turtles. These were New Zealand turtles. No, I don't think we're in New Zealand turtles. He watches Hamilton once and he's all like, Alexander Hamilton this. Or 1776. Hamilton, that's right in there. 1776. Not my favourite year.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I'll say it. A few people who were stationed over in like North. Africa in Gallipoli, befriended turtles and ended up at the end, you wouldn't get away with this these days, and at the end of the war, brought them home to New Zealand. Oh, I mean you would. Not everybody saw Private Thomas O'Connor could only bring home the shell of the tortoise head befriended in the trench in Gallipoli after Indian troops turned the rest of into a turtle soup while Connor was elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Oh. Has anyone seen my pet turtle? Where's Thomas? They turned him into turtle soup and they'd made omelets with tortoise eggs. Okay. Okay, I'm not mad about the omelets. I actually would rock an omelette. Cheese, though.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Do we think a turtle butter chicken would be nice as well with an Arn? I tell you what, you put butter chicken sauce on nearly anything and it's delicious. A whole meal around. Oh, the poor dude gets back and his turtles been eating. That sucks, got him through the war. Well, I hope we have a moment for him in his turtle at Woodoo this morning, on Pink Pompy Day. Coming up on the show Poppy Day. Sorry, purple, oh, what's pink?
Starting point is 00:01:52 That's gay, gay. Breast cancer is during war. It's like, I'm already in the middle of war. Seriously, now I've got breast cancer, it's a whole day. The top six is. coming up? Yeah, there's Chitter, chatter
Starting point is 00:02:04 that Jacob Allorty's in the running to be the next James Bond and of course he's Australian, this would be our first Australian James Bond or he'd probably put it in an English accent he's very good at that, but I've got the top six signs James Bond is Australian.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Next on the show though, bastards of the world! Oh, one. An infographic came across my desk. That's right, I've got a desk. Wow. He came across my desk yesterday. And yep, almost said it.
Starting point is 00:02:28 I did almost say it. We don't need to say it. About babies born, outside of marriage. Is New Zealand on the list? We are on the list? Are we high up? Hey, tell you what?
Starting point is 00:02:37 We're beating Australia. Ha, suck it. The Flet's morning, Haley, big pod. Follow visual cap on Instagram. Oh, same, they're good. Infographics. Yeah. Love infographics. Oh, do I need to give that a follow? Yeah, give that a red. Do you think I like that? What's a court?
Starting point is 00:02:52 The visual cap. Sometimes they have real serious things like GDP and Oh, yeah, yeah. Things, but like, keep scrolling. Yeah. But they have some, like, really interesting infographics sometimes. Okay. Shout out. Free plug?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yeah, free plug. Yeah, free plug there. Including babies born outside of marriage. Now, with 404,000 followers. Don't know if they need the free plug. Okay. They might get a couple more, though. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Baby's born outside of marriage. I love that you've won't saw this last night and sent it to the group chat and said this. We'll talk about this tomorrow. Yeah, and here we are. This. Bastards of the world was what I. I wanted to call it. I thought it was a bit much.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You thought it was a bit much. I'm a bastard of this world. You are. Me and my brother. You were born outside of wedlock. They had my brother and then still waited three and a half more years to get married. Craig and Patsy. That's good.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I feel it and I think I give big B energy. You know what I mean? I give big out of wedlock. So the lowest countries, the lowest country is at 2.4%. So only 2.4 out of 100 babies. Yep. are born outside of wedlock. So people are married and so 97.6.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah. So there's still very traditional countries. Very traditional countries. The bottom one, 2.4% Japan. Oh, yeah. Oh, interesting. I would have thought maybe it would be somewhere even more conservative than Japan.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Turkey's at 3.1%. Turkey. South Korea, 4.7%. That's the good career. Actually, you won't catch me saying that. I actually don't want to say a bad word about North Korea. I actually want to talk about Korea later in the show. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Anong. Aung. Israel, 8.6%. So all the lowest ones are technically Asian countries on the Asian country. But then in Europe, there's a few more. Greece is at 9.7, then it jumps up to 20% in Cyprus. And you might be thinking, where does New Zealand sit on this? We're sitting at 48.4%.
Starting point is 00:04:47 So isn't that about what our religious rate is? People that say that they're half. I know a few religious people that couldn't keep it in their pants and then maybe rushed to wedding or said, you know, whoops. Well, I did always find it quite. humorous that when parachute was on that the ECP sold out in Hamilton Pharmacies. That was like a news story every year that
Starting point is 00:05:08 Nothing like slipping it in a tent Mystery Creek under the watchful eye of the Lord. Shabless. So like half? Yeah, just under half. So Australia is at 39% just to talk about, you know? Well, they're more religious enough. Well, they're just more getting married, having babies. More traditional. Rather than just having babies out of the marriage. 40% for
Starting point is 00:05:29 the United States, which surprises me. You're considering that they're so religious. So religious. It's such a thing over there. So the highest countries are all Middle or Southern American. Mexico, 73.7. Highly religious nation, though, Catholic.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Out of wedlock. Well, it can't be if everybody's getting, having babies outside of wedlock. Yeah, I know, but they're brown-skinned. Like, they can't stop shagging. Weddings or not. Because they're just so hot. Because they're so hot.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And they've had tacos. you know, margaritas. Costa Rica, 74%? Really? Yeah. Chile, 78% and 87% of babies in Colombia. Are born out of wedlock?
Starting point is 00:06:13 Colombia. You can't say no to Colombians. You know what I mean? Oh no, we're not married. We're not married. He's like, but I want kisiesies. And he kisses lead to more. Embinatas.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Kispo. Okay, mommy. I got to go to work. But I thought that was like quite a Catholic country. Very much so. In fact, all of those top four are Catholic, predominantly Catholic
Starting point is 00:06:35 countries. And it's nuts, though, they're under the top four we head into Iceland and Norway. Yeah, the Scandinavian countries are in there. They're a bit more carefree, and they've got, like, support systems in place for people who might find themselves, you know, pregnant, and then
Starting point is 00:06:49 the father, skedushes, or the mother Skadashes, that's actually... The mum's not usually Skiddle. She's not usually. That's a rarity. It's harder to unlatch, isn't it? Skidudlin. But yeah, we're sitting about in the middle there. Half heathens.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yeah. And bastards in the world. Okay, so yeah, we're half bastards. Because your parents, your parents were married Fletch. Yours born, obviously. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yours weren't.
Starting point is 00:07:10 No. If this was Game of Thrones, you'd be, you wouldn't be getting anything. You'd be at the wall. You'd be at the wall. I'd get none of my dad's finance company empire. No, you'd be at the wall. I don't want to be at the wall. It's so cold.
Starting point is 00:07:21 You'd be in invicargo. I want to be at the beach getting kisses. No, no, no. No, no, no. Cases, what are you? No. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Hello, today's top six. Jacob Alorti has officially entered the race to James Bond. According to British betting sites. One of the favourites. Yeah, he is the current favourite to be the next James Bond. I've gone to the website Odds Checker. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:55 You've always been able to do this in the UK. Like just bed on all kinds of things. Like America at the moment, and there's real problems in America at the moment with gambling. Gambling's the next white epidemic. Oh, really? Gambling on anything. I'll buy a lotto.

And he is the odds on, he's the favorite out of every celebrity listed on all of these betting sites in the UK. So those odds mean because he's so likely, if you would have bet on it,
Starting point is 00:08:26 you don't really, that's not a huge. Campbell. Callum Taylor, he'd probably be the next. That's Deerleepa's boyfriend. Yes, and maybe Theo James as well. He's right up there. He rules. Oh, I love him.

Starting point is 00:08:52 So it's not, yeah, it's not unlikely. Jacob would be interesting. I just feel like he's so. tall? But do you remember who was the really tall one that was the one of the pretty most famous James Bond? Sean Connery. He was tall, wasn't he? Is he her tall or Sean? Or was that another one that was really tall? How tall as bond? Tallest Bond. Lawsonby and Dalton was 6-2. Connery was the tallest.

Starting point is 00:09:47 Oh, wow. Okay, so he'd be the tallest bond. Yeah, they'd have to get a custom-made suit. You know what I mean? Because he could walk into a Helen Steins. Yeah. And get an off-the-rack suit with legs, like that.
Starting point is 00:09:58 He won't be able to sit in those tiny little cars. Well, I'm going to answer for that. Because I've got the top six things you'd see are an Aussie James Bondo. Okay. Number six on the list. Introduce himself as Bondo. Jimmy Bondo.

Starting point is 00:12:45 Now here is a little study. This is out of Australia. And it is about why Australians and New Zealanders are already, we're not even through
Starting point is 00:12:57 February, feeling exhausted. Feeling like. Like, we need a holiday. Is it because we have had a stressful summer? Yes. Is it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:07 You've nailed it. So they're calling it post-holiday, acute, aggravated rebound condition. Or, fuck. Now, don't you bloody come for me in the broadcasting set as authority, okay? It's P-H-A-A-R-C. Right. And people are feeling at this time of the year a bit... Fuck.
Starting point is 00:13:28 You know? Who made this up? Is it for real? It is for real. This is like a psychological term that they've given it, but I was like, I reckon we could have worked on the acronym. I reckon it didn't. What was the R stand for?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Rebound. See, I don't think we needed the R. No, but it's because we've had our summer holiday and we should, that should have reset us for the year, right? So that we start the year refreshed. But we're not. We've bounced into the year. We've had stressful summers.
Starting point is 00:13:58 In Australia in particular, they're overheated. And also, like, they've had insane rains as well. Yeah, yeah. And our weather's been crap too in like a different way. We haven't had the summer we desired. So it has left us feeling post-holiday acute aggravated rebound. Or fah. Or we're feeling a bit...
Starting point is 00:14:14 I mean, they're not wrong, are they? So 43% of people surveyed feel P-H-A-R-Ced. Yep. Post-holiday. So literally like the thing that is supposed to make us feel refreshed and not having me is, we're not feeling it. 32% of people already, February, 26, feeling overwhelmed, stressed or burnt out.
Starting point is 00:14:38 That's a fresh take on the year. That's not great. And a lot of people saying part of it is transitioning from holiday mode, busy family, da-da-da-da, maybe didn't get everything done, too hot or too rainy or whatever, straight into work mode,
Starting point is 00:14:53 has created a physiological shock that is leaving people already feeling exhausted. lost it. Isn't that terrible? Well, good news is it's nearly March. Like, when is it March in a week? Next week? Yeah. Is that right? Who was I talking to recently? It's March on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And they said, oh, they didn't have all this stuff back in the old days. And I was like, yeah, but dudes were dropping dead of heart attacks in their 50s. And we were dropping dead just because we pushed out a baby wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. So, I mean, here's the thing. And I say this, having had four hours sleep,
Starting point is 00:15:28 survival strategies to shake off your post-holiday, acute, aggravated rebound condition. Okay, what do we do? Sleep? We got to sleep, Moe, you got to fix your sleep. Free reset button. That's what sleep is. Yeah. Is a free reset. I've been, do you know, Haley won't, or we listen to the podcast, Dario of the CEO.
Starting point is 00:15:47 She won't listen to the sleep episode. Because it doesn't suit my narrative. She won't listen to the diary. She won't listen to the CEO who's writing a diary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've noticed that you will not listen to the sleep. to them because you don't want to face facts. I pick and choose
Starting point is 00:16:02 because every episode I listen to I'm always like that is so true. That is life-changing information. You know it's true. And then you see the one that is like you need and you're like... But when are we supposed to sleep? Every night, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Crazy. Like from when to when. Like seven minimum. So what happens at 2 o'clock when I've been asleep for... Well, I... So five hours. This happened to me this morning
Starting point is 00:16:29 because last couple of nights I've woken up at like 2 or 3 a.m. There's this breathing technique. Night terrors, you're having your tears against swim. I'm having my night terrors. He wakes up like that. And then Jemarra's like, meow. No, you just breathe
Starting point is 00:16:43 and there's all kinds of ways you can put your eyes side to side. That'll help you get back to sleep. Yeah, so this is the one that you swear by is you shut your eyes and you go side to side as fast as you can. And then like breathe in and out really slow. There's like loads of different techniques.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Do you know, like, so this is the, the survival strategies to stop feeling so far at the start of this year. Fix your sleep. Eat regular healthy meals. I'm having a slice of carrot cake as we speak. Move your body. It's a gym for a week.
Starting point is 00:17:09 It's got carrots. It's got nuts. It's got raisins. It's a cake salad. I did just say, Vaughn brought in the rest of his birthday cake and I said I've got a bit of a crook guts and you guys did sell it to me
Starting point is 00:17:20 as a fruit and vegetable salad. So at least I'm doing one of these things to make myself feel slightly less exhaustive. I'm eating my healthy meal. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh for and Haley. Might I borrow your ear for some silliness? Oh my God, of course.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Is it a silly little pole? It is a silly little poll. Oh, absolutely. Do you delete emails and texts after you read them? No. The only emails I deleted are our work ones because for some reason I've got a tiny little inbox. And it keeps telling me like, oh, it's full.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah. I'm like, wow. I think I had a tiny little. little inbox and I messaged him. I was like, I'm just, what do you want me to do here? Yeah, I said make it bigger. If you want me to keep getting new emails, you better give me a bigger box. Otherwise, I just won't use
Starting point is 00:18:22 this stupid email system. Find me over a Gmail. Yeah. Emails, I run a clean inbox, my personal inbox. They're red. I delete the boring, like, junk ones. I click unsubscribe if it's easy, you know, on your phone. Up to times like, this is from a mailing list. You want unsubscribe? I'm like, yes. But if it doesn't have that,
Starting point is 00:18:42 I just delete them. Yeah. Every now and then there will be too many in it. But I never let a red bubble. I've got, oh no, the red bubble people are just insane humans. But if it's an email that needs to be kept, I've got folders, I'll put it in there straight away. Oh, that's nice. And it's just organized.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Then I know I'm on top of everything. Yeah, I love that. I love that for you. Text, though, every now and again, I'll just go through and delete my inbox. What you? I just like clean. Oh, I love old texts. Yeah, I think you could have that historical reference.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh, you're so old text. Search by word. Yeah. But, you know, you always get like, verifery. verification codes or, you know, random texts from businesses. So I'll delete those. See you later, mate. Keep my friends text.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Well, we asked after reading text and email, what do you do? 82% of you leave them. 18% delete them. Wow. Is this a cloud issue? Should we be deleting them for the planet? Oh, I don't know. Actually, yeah, that's a good call.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I bought more cloud. I just get by more cloud too. What kind of psychopaths, says Aisha, Aisha, is deleting all of their text and email as as they've read them. I let them take up the space on my phone and never read them again like a normal person. But then your inbox has like thousands of... No. Yeah, yeah. I don't even know the beginning of my inbox, but it would be well over 15 years old.
Starting point is 00:19:51 I treat it like a do-lis. Because if it's an email that requires me to do something, I'll do it and then delete it. And then I know it's done. Who emails you though? Lots of it. I get lots of emails. I don't know that you would get that many. I do get many, many a day. I've got many pots on the boil. You would get a lot. You're very busy. Who emails you about what?
Starting point is 00:20:11 You're sort of done by the day. Don't you're not? I just feel like who's email and flesh? Show me the inbox. I don't think anyone's emailing him. He's clean. Well, he's not because he's to leave them out. Well, yeah, I've got like five emails at the moment.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Or five. What five are they from? Like a flight confirmation. No, I don't keep those. No, I don't keep those. Please review this holiday batch. Yeah, no. Angelus says they file emails or flag them or delete them if they're not needed.
Starting point is 00:20:39 The texts, however, keep forever. That's history right there. Gilda. Yeah, well, here's your verification code. 24472. I don't want to forget that day. That was a great code. Leave them until I action them, then delete them, says Alex.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Yes. That's a Fletch 2.0 right there. Alex gets it. But I also feel like Alex isn't getting that many emails. Lou said, what if I need to refer back to a 2017 message confirming a food order? I should probably delete these things. Well, then you can search in your bin. If it's sitting in the bin
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah And I need to want to just sits in the bin Oh no empty the bin Although if it's in the bin it needs to be empty I empty the bin Yeah I empty the bin Yeah Receits says Cheryl

Starting point is 00:21:30 Earl said I leave them but I actually have it set up So they delete after 30 days If I don't message them again It's a five-star Earl hack Yeah, that's a good hack. Briar, I didn't know Delete text is even an option. Also, does anyone have the fear
Starting point is 00:21:44 that you'll need to keep things for seven years because a business person told you to once? Yeah, well, the IRD's got a seven-year thing, don't they? I found bags of paper receipts and when I was cleaning out my garage, I'm just like... I've got years of paper receipts, but they're all... When they sit in a thing for so long,
Starting point is 00:21:58 they... They seem through. Yeah, they're just white papers. What's the idea? I'm going to be like, oh, this is my petrol receipt from 2017. They're going to be like, it's blank. And I'll be like, yeah, dude. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Have a word with one of the petrol stations. This is that, and I can't even tell you what one because it's faded. Alicia says, depends on their importance.

Starting point is 00:23:59 Somebody who, like, works out all the time and has, like, a different type of... A different type of, like, body? It's just like somebody who does Pilates every day or like someone who's like working out every day well I just go after work at the hospital every day sorry
Starting point is 00:24:14 I was very upfront about that from beginning this there was no like illusion that I was going to be going to Pilates every day I understand stop stop stop talking what does he look like well after the internet there's some memes but
Starting point is 00:24:30 one really important thing to state is she is a doctor she is drop-dead gorgeous and if I had to guess her dress size which I never want to do as a woman but just for context she would be no bigger than a size act she is a very petite
Starting point is 00:24:46 beautiful woman and she is an incredibly smart doctor God the things this guy must say about me I mean we just look at this guy yeah he looks like a douche bag but also the way like just make up a better excuse like don't sit there and be like
Starting point is 00:25:02 I usually date people who clearly look like they do Pilates and CrossFit every day. He then tried to double down by saying maybe it's the discipline of working out. And everyone said how about the discipline of going to medicine school. And now one of the other fiancés went up to him and said, what, you think you're going to find another hot doctor like her? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's also gone viral.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So, so many people, like the cast have come out with their takes on Chris's statements and they're saying he's made such a fool of himself. Like it's so obvious that he is just being a really shallow guy. Yeah, and I don't want to give away too many spoilers because the new episodes come out tomorrow, tomorrow night on Netflix. But basically he then kind of spiraled and made a fake Instagram. He then went out to an adult club after this conversation. He was posting.
Starting point is 00:25:55 He bought a bunch of followers and then got very, very intoxicated on camera. So it's a painful watch, but I do recommend it. I do recommend. I don't like this. I don't like watching stuff like this. I find it secondhand cringe and embarrassing. I find it embarrassing. Maybe on behalf of all humans.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Yeah. Sometimes it's nice to see these awful people who he's probably been awful to people in the past and they've kept silent about it. To then act this way in a public forum and then like maybe learn a lesson, you know? They never do though, do they though? These people. No. I mean, once you see the memes made about him, everyone's like AI.
Starting point is 00:26:34 him doing Pilates. It's really become this big thing now. And yeah, he was like then trying to double down that it wasn't about the Pilates, but he mentioned the word Pilates like 10 times in the conversation. I think my favourite, I've never really watched the series. I don't know why. It's like absolutely my cup of tea.
Starting point is 00:26:51 My favourite would be the girl who, when they're behind the wall, they're not allowed to give distinguish, you know, features describe themselves or give race or anything. And she was like, what does she say? She was like, I guess people have said they look a little bit like
Starting point is 00:27:05 Megan Fox. And you can see, and she's a very beautiful woman, this woman. She doesn't look anything like Megan Fox. And so when they did the reveal, you could see the guy being like, that's not Megan Fox,
Starting point is 00:27:16 that's not Megan Fox, that's not Megan Fox. Yeah, it can be a painful watch and this season is the most intense, crazy one. There's a man who, yeah, definitely give it a watch, but new episodes are out tomorrow night on Netflix. Play Z-N's, Flash One and Haley. is yesterday.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Well, now they're the British and film television awards. Yeah. Yeah. Bfta. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:42 The first day didn't stand for And Fletch. You said British British and film television. It does. It's hand. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:27:50 British and film television awards. He's nailed it there. I mean, Vaughn, look it up. I'm right. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I won't look it up. I'll just trust you blind. It's definitely not Academy. I don't know. It's British. and film television awards because they're film and television awards and they're British.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yes, so you see a British and of film and television arts. Oh, there's an O in there we didn't know. British and of film television awards. And the last day is arts. British Academy of Film and Television Arts. So the ABAFTA Awards. Yes, the BAFTAs.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Okay, so the BAFTAs were basically yesterday our time, Sunday, UK time. This is an incredibly wild story. Well, like the BAFTAs were going all good. Yeah. You know? Ellen Cumming, who's very funny, was hosting. He did a great bit where he had like a little tray of British goods, you know, snacks and treats and stuff and was giving them to all the Americans.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And he always had a really great time. And that's when Michael B. Jordan, I mean, please, please do anything. And Delroy Lindo, two very celebrated black actors. took to the stage. Yeah, I still haven't seen that movie. It's on my watch list. Apparently, it's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 They took to the stage to present the next award. I think we should play the audio of what happened. The censored audio of what happened. Oh, yeah, if you're listening and you know what happened, you're like, don't play it, don't play it. Here is the censored audio of this moment. Delaware and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Oh, dear, that, yep. We're here to celebrate. We carry on, we ignore it. So that beep, behind that beep, is the racist slur that we all know. Screamed by a man called John Davidson who has Tourette's. So this is completely out of his control. He is not choosing to yell this unfortunate word. It's such an unfortunate moment.
Starting point is 00:29:58 The irony, well, not the irony, but I guess it's fitting that this, this fella, John Davidson, is actually there because he is the subject of an indie film called I swear, which is about a man with Tourette Syndrome. And he also won an award for this movie as well? The actor who plays him, Robert Arameo, is won for best actor for this portrayal. But yeah, he does in such an unfortunate moment of silence.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yes. Yel the N-word twice towards two black actors. Now, Alan Cummings, who was hosting, he did address it. Yeah, yeah. And he thanked the audience for their understanding. Yeah, because, like, it's very unfortunate. So he left in the guy with Tourette's Davidson. He left.
Starting point is 00:30:48 He's the awards in the second half. Right, okay. To prevent any more. To prevent it from happening again. Yeah, right. Yeah, because you're going like, this is not, he wasn't, it's very unfortunate, basically. and he has no control over it. And then everyone's like, well, why would he think that?
Starting point is 00:31:03 And it's like, that's what Tourette's is. It's like, your brain is aware of the worst thing that you could say in that moment. Yes. Even though you're not thinking it, and it will just come out. But these Torets is it always swearing, is it? Sometimes it can be ticks.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Or just, yeah, like vocal ticks or physical ticks or strong, offensive language. Yeah. Which is probably one of the more unfortunate ones. But, yeah, Ellen Cumming came out and was basically like, you know, this is, it's complicated but it's also you know thank you for your understanding that this was not in his control he wasn't actually screaming I've seen that I've seen this happen I was on a train with my friend
Starting point is 00:31:38 did I told you about yes yeah you did yeah yeah and this guy that has Tourette's and I see him around the city all the time and occasionally there'll be you know like ticks or like swearing and stuff and yeah he were the only ones in this train carriage and he dropped the N word oh to my and yeah I was just like don't and I kind of explained it I was like no just ignore that I think there's some Tourette's going on there. Yeah, there is a moment where you see both the actors, Michael and Linda, going like, hearing it, and then immediately moving forward. And I'm sure when they, and then I think they presented a war to Avatar for visual effects or something.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Right. I'm sure they would have gone off stage and then been, like, you know, told, oh, that was this person who has Tourette's. And I'm sure they would be very understanding. And he couldn't even go up to the end and apologize, could he? He's taking himself away. He's taking it. Well, no, because they'd probably do it again.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Could do. Could do. It'd be the rest that you run. Yeah. That'd be horrible. It would be horrible. And there's not really much you can do about it. But yeah, so that moment was just caught on television.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I tell you everybody's going to watch this movie now, aren't they? Well, yeah. Yeah, the one about Tourette's. I swear it's called. I haven't heard of it. But you have now. I have now. The Z&P Podcast Network.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Play Z&M's. Let's want to know what you did for a job when you're a student because of this constant of an crisis that we currently find ourselves and students are apparently in the hardest position of all. Yeah, they reckon it's the worst that's been in 30 years, student jobs search is saying. They've got 4,600 vacancies listed in January and received 38,000 job applications for those 4,600. Well, that's just not enough jobs to go around.
Starting point is 00:33:21 That's an average of eight students competing for every job. Yeah. Could they share it? Do a day each. Not enough money, Haley. So also the ones that get the job say that they're applying for 30 jobs, they get a job, then they have to miss lectures because the job they've got says, no, no, no, we need you to work this time.
Starting point is 00:33:39 They're like, but I've got a lecture on at that time, and they're like, well, do you want this job or not? Because I went to drama school, which has a different structure to lectures. That was 8 to 5 every day. So we couldn't have a job, and then you'd do productions during the weekends. So I cleaned the toilets of my dad's company on a Wednesday night and a Sunday. I did a shocking job. Wait, so you only cleaned the toilets twice a week? Yeah, yeah, Wednesdays and Sundays.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It was a small, there was like four people working there. How much were you? Dad, Dad, shucked a bit at it. Dad, oh, dad. That was the most expensive, cleaning, toilet cleaning. Just giving his daughter some cash, you know. And that's what we call a nepo baby. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:34:16 But, yeah, I cleaned toilets for a bit. But that was that, that was all I had time for. But, yeah, lots of my uni friend, like, proper uni. No offense, drama school. Yeah. We're, like, hustling hard. Apparently students are staying at the same. study longer because they can't afford to not have access to the student allowances and lines.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Yeah, they've always been, that's always been an issue, hasn't it? And they never pay enough, nah. God. So, what did you? When we were, well, when I was a student, everything was so much cheaper. Yeah, well, that's the thing. It's insanely expensive right now. Yeah, like food and everything and rent was so much cheaper.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Oh, gosh. She's just seen a look on the face of these Gen Zitters in the office the other day when I was talking about a place I had on the North. Shore in 2001 that was $50 a week. $50 bucks a week. Not the whole place, but a room. No, no, it was a room. It was a sizable room. It was like a five bedroom house. So we were getting a five bedroom house for 250
Starting point is 00:35:08 bucks a week. That's what it costs to like have one single room in a flat. You're lucky. Oh God, it's tough out there. Think God we're old. Do you know what I mean? That's the first and only time I'll say that. Thank God. Yeah, but then you get old and it's still tough. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't have any retirement as well. No one to look out. Yeah. It's getting a bit bleak. Well, this is what... Okay, Liz, before we go too, bling...
Starting point is 00:35:29 Let's pick it up, pick it up. This is what we want to know this morning. 0,800, Darsadem, you can text her as well, 9-6-96. How bad, what's your student job? What did you have to do? My, I think I might have mentioned this board, but Chris Parker, beloved New Zealand comedian.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Yes. When we're at drama school, he used to work at Big Coomita. If you know, Wellington, that was like the student bar. Yes, that's right. Did the Wednesdays, and he worked there till close, like 4, 5 a.m. And his job was to scoop up. out the anything they had fallen behind
Starting point is 00:35:58 the cushions and the couches there. He got to keep the coins, but everything else. Pretty grim. Not great. Okay, I'll 800 at Dahl's at M. Text in 9-696. Tell us about your uni job. How bad was it?
Starting point is 00:36:11 Right now, though, we want to know how bad your student job was. Massive shortage for students who are studying but also want to do some work. So we thought a great opportunity to ask, what did you do for a crust, a buck? A couple of buckies. When you were a student.
Starting point is 00:36:26 weekends. Katie, how bad was your student job? Yeah, my good friend's dad was a landlord in Unitown, and so we would be hired as a little cleaning group for people who had lost their bond for their flat. Oh, no, Katie, how bad was that? Like, we're talking, they could only afford us cleaning through
Starting point is 00:36:50 because we would work for a lot less, but you spend like 24 hours cleaning up houses and it was disgusting. Like, I can't even compare it to any other job I've had where you'd just basically go in like a hazmat suit because he didn't want to do anything. Because these flats your cleaning, they're not just sort of like post-moving out.
Starting point is 00:37:08 These people have been evicted because they were terrible tenants. So when they would have the move-out inspection, the landlord, he had like a professional cleaner that would come in and just do the clean-up for people who were taking care of it. But we would go in for the apartment that he actually thought were too expensive for the professional cleaners.
Starting point is 00:37:26 So we went in there and you just basically be scraping off grease from... Stop, don't say scraping. Why do you choose the word scraping? Sorry, sorry. And even like the shower drain. Like you just...
Starting point is 00:37:38 Katie, stop. Katie, people are eating right now. Katie, I need to know what student town was this. Was it Danaden or Parmy? Well, to be honest, I went to uni in the state. So this was in Iowa. Oh, wow. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh, wow. And so there was, like, tons and tons and tons of flats, I'm telling you. And so you'd go in, and it was horrendous. But we'd work at the end of the school year when the school let out for the summer holidays. So we'd also work for, like, a month, but you'd make enough money to last for the next year. Oh, wow. Now, can I... Oh, that's how many dirty, awful flats there were.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yeah, can I ask, who's worse, guys or girls? Oh, those leaves the bathrooms in a horrendous... state, not going to lie. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. Yeah, but you could definitely tell the guys, because you know, like you'd walk in and you'd find a cabot that was just stacked full of empty pizza boxes
Starting point is 00:38:36 that, of course, grew mold and it's invisible. Because they don't take out the little crumbs they've left in their, like, crosses. No, no. And, like, walking across, like, you go into the bedrooms and the carpet is just disgusting. And, yeah, nah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Guys leave the rest of this flat really disgusting, but you knew it was a girl's bathroom. Wow. Okay, that's brilliant. Katie, thank you so much. Abby, what was your bad student job? I worked at Countdowns like twice a week, which wasn't that bad, but I actually worked in the deli and I don't eat me.
Starting point is 00:39:12 So what? So it was like 200 grams of champagne ham and you've got to be like, yeah, like I'd eat in ham before when I was a kid, but they'd asked me like which salami was the hottest and I couldn't tell. them. Or I knew what's one to say. Yep. Just lied, you know what I mean? Because they're gone from the shop after you say it.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I'd just be like, mate's this one. Wrap your lips around this delicious meats. I'm like, I spent this one. I think this one's the hottest. Yeah. But you didn't ask to work in the bakery section or on the checkout? No, just the deli
Starting point is 00:39:49 and the seafood. What was the worst meat to handle as a vegetarian? definitely the seafood. I think just the slimyness of it. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Slimy little shappish. Did you have to restock the muscle, mister?
Starting point is 00:40:04 Like, you know, the thing with all the muscles in it and the button and it squirts the salt water on them? No, we didn't have that at my camera. That's a shame. That's a shame. I reckon that would have made it worth it. I love pressing the bottom when I go past even if I'm not getting them. Abby, thank you. Some messages in.
Starting point is 00:40:18 I worked in warehousing for my dad. He made sure I was on student rates to learn the value of money. I'm not sure what was worse. The warehousing were having my dad be my boss and then also be at work and at home. Yeah, and all the workers would know that you're a nepo baby. I handed out promo flyers for the local strip club. Holy heck, the amount of drunk girlfriends would have a go at me
Starting point is 00:40:39 as if they were bra-burning feminists. Oh, yeah, okay. And I said it's actually feminist to support this woman. Yes, and claim your own body, of course. I was a car groomer at a range rover dealership. I had to clean cars that were being serviced but I also got to clean the new cars that were being sold It was a pretty sweet gig.
Starting point is 00:40:57 However, I did one day reverse one range river into another range river. Oh. At least they're super cheap. Yeah. Yeah. Super cheap. I cleaned toilets, delivered pizza and worked in a fish and ship shop. I had work clothes that would smell very interesting after all three of those were involved.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I hope there was hand washing in between all of those jobs. I do too. I counted dust particles, someone said. Not a uni job, but while I was on my OE. I'm sorry, but that's... Dust particles. What? Like under a micro-
Starting point is 00:41:24 I worked in a quality control lab in a manufacturing hospital and that was one of our jobs counting dust particles in the air of the sterile manufacturing suites of a pharmacy. Oh, okay. What, bloody. I was meant to work at a blueberry farm
Starting point is 00:41:37 but they employed us before the actual farm was really to open for the season so they had us making these electrical boxes at their other business in a massive warehouse. This feels like illegal. We worked in a windowless room it felt like one of those working children
Starting point is 00:41:49 in Asia, making clothes situations. Yeah, or like those big, Foxcon factories where they make like iPhones and yeah you know they've always had a bit of controversy around them especially when you thought you were to be out in the sunshine picking delicious blueberries and having a couple for yourself I worked at a paint factory in my area was the solvents room I was breathing in fumes all day
Starting point is 00:42:07 I was high all the entire time I ended up in hospital once and I was getting paid $4 an hour and you've probably got some lifelong medical conditions yeah I was a ferry at the ferry shop while I was at art school loved it but pretty tough entertaining kids when you're hung over on a Sunday and you don't really have the energy for the singing and the dance. A lot of students employed over school holidays to be elves. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Oh my God, I love, you know James Rocker, New Zealand comedian. He, um, who's Filipino. Yeah. When he was at drama school, his job was to be Spider-Man at kids' parties. And it'd always be like, why are you Asian? And he was like, shut up! That's what Spider-Man always said. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Play that ends. Flesh, for an inhaler. Yesterday I had a trady come around Because my air conditioner Why did he say like that? I hated it when my dissoners on the ritz My air conditioner My air conditioner
Starting point is 00:43:03 Um Long story short When you turn on cold It creates moisture right Yeah And usually they're like trip out and go outside And that's sweet as But mine's in the middle of the house
Starting point is 00:43:15 It's got up onto the roof So it's got a little pump that goes And pumps the water out when it needs to Oh that's pretty fancy Well, she's good. You know what they say this? She's posh. The fancier things are, the more things are out and go wrong.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah, well, that's true. So this little post-heap pump died, and it need to be replaced. These things happen. So these things happen. So I call the Samsung helpline, and they send around a fellow. Now, let me tell you. Korean dudes are having a moment. I don't disagree.
Starting point is 00:43:47 You know, K-pop and... Great skin. Great skin. The skin on these. on that nation. Well, that's why everybody's going crazy for Korean skin care. Korean skin care is the go-to skincare. I'm more into their fried chicken, but each to their own.
Starting point is 00:44:01 It's amazing to me that can both nail fried chicken and skin care. And then have the great skin after eating all the fried chicken. And then saying, we're going up with the skin and the chicken. The skin and the chicken and the kimchi. Yeah. Oh my God. Gut-hout. The bib-bib-bib.
Starting point is 00:44:17 The bowls. The industry. God. Maybe that's why they've got great skin, the gut health, the kimchi. Could be the fermented food. And how they're like half of an original country and they're like, we're so much cooler than them. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:29 They were just like North Korea wouldn't even know you. It's like, they were a couple that broke up and just one of them's doing really well. One of them is thriving about. Yeah. On the ground, drying out like a quick up sort of situation. And they just say, oh my God, North Korea is so embarrassing. I don't even talk to him anymore. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I'm so sorry about my ex. I'm so sorry about my ex, North Korea. So imagine my surprise when the very. van the actually Ute. Oh, okay. Okay, I'm already a little bit. Ute door opens and this six foot, I think it's the same height as me. This six foot two.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Oh my gosh, so like 5'8. Correct. This guy is six foot two as if. Excuse me. Always adding a couple of inches. Yeah, yeah, all right, five nine. Get out of the Ute and I'm like, my goodness me, I've got one of the Saja boys from Cobot demon hunters here.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Really? This guy's good looking. The hair. Yeah. The hair as well. Thick? Thick! And he's got big arms too.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Sorry, just checking. Still heterosexual. It's giving gay. I'm going to say it. Oh yeah, toe. Dip-dip-d-d-d-b-d-b-d-b-d-d-p. So, and then he comes up and he's like, hello, and shakes my hand, and he's like, my English isn't very, I won't do the accent.
Starting point is 00:45:47 My English isn't very good. I've only been here a little while. And I was like, oh, okay. Then he finds the problem. He's like, it's broken. He's like, I will attempt to fix it. He immediately drops into a cross-legged sit on the ground. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Flexible. Yeah. Flexible. Yeah. And then he goes like that and like pumps the sleeves back a little bit, even though they're short sleeves and sits there doing this electronic fixing on the ground. We've got arms on this guy. We've got arms on this guy.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Oh, far out. So I'm messaging my teenage daughter being like, we've got ourselves a hot technician in the house. That's the right person to share that way. And she's like, send me a photo. And I was like, there's a phone. and she's like, we need the face card, we need the face card. I was, I couldn't, hard to get a photo of her.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Anyway, this is all sounding pretty pervy now that I'm saying it out loud. Yeah, that's actually, yeah, because if it was rolls reversed. If it was rolls reversed. If it was rolls reversed. If he was taking photos of me, maybe I'm like that. Maybe like that, doop, dip. I'll be your little soda, pop, pop. Oh, this feels less of a dip and more of a sort of to the waist.
Starting point is 00:46:45 But anyway, all I'm saying is next time you're thinking about buying an appliance, apparently Samsung has this program where it's called the regional specialist program. It was established in 1990. They sent employees a broader three years experience. So you're going to get three years of experience, but this... Wait, so with... Dashing career man.
Starting point is 00:47:01 If you were... This was to break again or something else. I was smashed it. I went in the minute he left. I was like... Oh, no, come there. I threw a ball through the TV as well. I'm like, I don't know what happened. Play.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Play Z-N. Flesh won and Haley. You know I've been absolutely absorbing this season of maps. after watching last years and I thought it couldn't get more dramatic. And now we're like, holy moly. But to talk to us about maths in general is New Zealand's very own Jackie from last year's season of maths Australia. Hi, Jackie.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Hi, how's it going? So good. Love you to have you on the show as our proud Kiwi girl from last year's season. Thank you. Now, have you been keeping up with this season of maths? Not quite It's been pretty hard It's on every night
Starting point is 00:47:51 It's like the bloody news isn't it It just keeps coming How where are you Well we're in New Zealand right So we're still a little bit behind But obviously if you watched enough You know the characters You know the oh my god
Starting point is 00:48:06 Sorry she just picked up a Samoid Oh my god your dog is so cute Yeah this is Eski Yeah no I've watched the first week I'm a week behind So I'm probably on level with New Zealand which is actually perfect for this chat, I guess. Oh yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:48:20 What are your thoughts and feelings? Having been you, Jackie, kind of at the centre of a lot of controversy from last year's season, are you now looking at these women in particular, I'll say on this season and going, oh, I am an angel compared to any of that. Yeah, well, I do think they definitely cast
Starting point is 00:48:41 the strongest, most outspoken personalities they can find. So I'm not surprised that they've managed to find it even stronger, louder crowd this year. And they do tend to get louder every year. They're getting louder and louder every single year. Have you, like, part of some of the controversy of this season is they keep referring to, like, things that they do off camera. When you were doing your season last year, did you guys hang out much?
Starting point is 00:49:08 Like, did you have these parties where a lot of stuff happened that we didn't get to see? Yes. So this is a big no-no for production. So it's against your contract. you've got a break contract to hang out, basically. Yeah, the reason why people do it is because they've come out of town to Sydney and they don't have any friends and they've got no one else to hang out with. So, of course, they're going to want to hang out with each other.
Starting point is 00:49:30 So there's that temptation there. The reason why production don't like it, though, is because they're trying to build a storyline for the viewers. Like, if Brooke doesn't like Stella, they want that to play out for a whole week. They don't want those two to catch up the next day and resolve it out. have the storyline die. They want that storyline to continue for the whole season and they want to see that whole thing play out.
Starting point is 00:49:53 They don't want resolutions. They want maximum conflict. And same with couples. If the couples get in a fight, they will separate you from hours on end and they say you can't talk to each other. Like this is for the storyline. This is for the viewers.
Starting point is 00:50:06 So having a big party with the cast that's outside the dinner party, not getting filmed is very risky for the production because they're going to miss a lot of the drama. They're going to miss a lot of the clubs. conflict resolution. And when this happened last season, they were outraged.
Starting point is 00:50:22 They were very, very, very, very mad. And they pulled everyone into a room and they totally ran off for an hour. And they said, how dare you guys be so selfish. There are more than 50 people in this room whose jobs are at risk because of your selfish behavior. Oh, big telling them. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Like a school, it's like a school room. It was really bad. Yeah. And the other thing that people are doing is they're inviting paparazzi to hang out with them, partying. We know. We chatted with, what is it? Josh Fox.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Josh Fox about this. And he was telling us that it's gotten to the point now with his paparazzi that, yeah, people are messaging. Jackie, did you message him to ever sort of join you? No, no, no. So I was not really, I was always the tag on with the partying. Like, I never wanted to go. I wasn't, because I was from Sydney.
Starting point is 00:51:15 friends that I'd want to hang out with myself and I never really um I was too scared to get in trouble I didn't want to get a bad edit from production so I never or they tried anyway Jackie to be fair they tried with you anyway they did they did they did good job I don't know because like you um you had a very odd storyline like you're engaged to be married to Clint who was also on maths but if you're not keeping up with it Clint was not your partner that you were paired with you were with Ryan and then you ended up having a whole legal thing. I don't know how much you can say with right. Like your storyline is one of the
Starting point is 00:51:50 most colourful we've come across yet. Yeah, outside drama was definitely more than what was shown on the show. I'll definitely say that and with our storyline as well, not everything made it to air. Like there was a lot of off-camera stuff that, which is probably why it was confusing for the audience
Starting point is 00:52:08 and why they didn't understand a lot of what was going on and there was a lot of confusion involved. as someone who at the end of the day, even though it wasn't with your husband, has found a husband and happiness through the show, would you recommend people go on a show like MAPS? I honestly would say no. And the reason is the experts are actors, the producers are doing the matches. They're doing it for drama, so you're highly unlikely to get someone that's actually a good match. Even the peat couples, they're still together today.
Starting point is 00:52:38 A lot of them are still together just for publicity and for like... Oh, Jackie. Wow. The tea, Jackie. Yeah. And you can see because they break up after a year or two once publicity dies down. And, you know, and so it's, it really is like, if you meet someone else in the show like Clint and I did, like you'll be very happy. My final question is, how are you? You and Clint, the unlikely couple, the villains who came back and you found each other and whatnot, you're about to get married. How's your life? Yeah, it's great. Like, live here in Tasmania now.
Starting point is 00:53:12 running two businesses. We're moving to Queensland this year, so the house is on the market. So it's a nice house. It's a nice house. It's a nice house. It's a nice house. It's a nice house. It's a nice. It's a nice. It's a nice. It's got tennis court, golf sim, anything. Yeah, yeah. And we're going to start a family this year as well. So I don't want to be pregnant during my wedding, but as soon as I can get pregnant, that's like the goal to try.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah, we're so happy for you. Like, it's just great. And like, I think you've got such great humour and yeah I loved it you were like one of the first whistleblowers of of maths and I don't know it more drama is always good drama when it comes to maths um hey thanks so much for chatting to us jackie keyie we go and um good luck to you and clint for the babi and the wedding and all of it the zm podcast network play zm's flesh foran and haley now yesterday after uh the show i tottered off we had some meetings and i tottered off to the film a project. They can't say what it is.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Lots of secret projects on the go, me. I've also been telling everybody about that project. You just, do I need to end DA you every time we hang out? Well, you need to be more clear with me when you tell me about all these secret things that I'm not allowed to tell other people. Margarita's involved. It gets confusing.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Anyway, so I'm filming this project, just a little small bit. And as I'm heading to set, I'm in my car. And I am just having a quick look, because I'm running a bit late, in the mirror to see the damage, to see what I will be presenting to the makeup team when I arrive on set. And I'll say in the sunlight of the day, I saw quite a lot of fuzz. Oh, okay. Facial fuzz.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Yeah, right. So I know in my car, for moments such as this, as a polycystic ovarian syndrome, girly, you've got to have one of those little, you've got to have a set of tweezers in the center console. and you've got to have one of those little Dermapalini blades. Remember the one that famously gave me staff infection for two months? Yes, but you clean that now better. Well, I just got a fresher.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah, got a fresher. And then do you just dump it in the centre console? Back in the console. Yeah, see, I think that's where your staff infections from. We need a staff. It's got staff from the Mazda, from the Mazda. Mazda staff. Well, don't blame Mazda for that.
Starting point is 00:55:28 They don't want that. It's what you put in that center console. That's the issue, Haley. And then rubs on the blade that they then scrape across the face. Yeah, you're probably right there. Anyway, so I stop at some lights. Previously, remember last time I stopped at some lights, I picked up my phone and got a $150 fine.
Starting point is 00:55:45 This time I stop at the lights. I do not pick up my phone. I've learnt my lesson, but I pick up the dermapalaining little blade. Just looking in the mirror, just having a little chin scrape. Having a little... Wait, so you can't be on your phone, but you can shave. Shave your face. Yeah. Are you sure?
Starting point is 00:56:02 Have you checked that? I don't think in the law they've updated it to... Right. I think you should ask a cop about this. 96.96. Are you a cop? I don't know if I know any cop. Are you allowed to shave while you drive? Are you allowed to shave while you drive?
Starting point is 00:56:16 Are you allowed to shave while you drive? I mean, plenty of people do like lipstick. I do makeup. Yeah. Oh, dudes on the way to work or German. All those little bits have got to go somewhere. Yeah, then that's all over your suit or your shirt. Oh, yeah. All down their bib.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Well, you know it's specific law in New Zealand that explicitly I mentioned shaving as a prohibited activity while driving. You're legally required to maintain proper control of your vehicle at all time. Engaging activity such as chauvin creates a dangerous distraction that takes your hands off the wheel and eyes off the road. So if you crashed and admitted that, they could probably have you for dangerous or reckless or whatever
Starting point is 00:56:50 they call it. Rickless driving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Careless or dangerous driving. Careless or dangerous, yeah. But I have a beard, I would say. Anyway, so I'm stopped at these lights and I'm just having a little dermapplain, as I want to do before I get to set. And that's what I noticed.
Starting point is 00:57:06 that there's like a big, one of those big, like, double-decker buses that's, like, pulled up next to my vehicle. And everyone's just on the bus living there a day, but there is an elderly gentleman, like, like old, old, who has clocked me in my action. And I don't think that he would ever sort of have seen a woman basically shaving. I think he would have learned that as a man's activity. And he looked to say.
Starting point is 00:57:36 so confused because then I wondered if he thought maybe I was a boy. You know, I had no makeup on just so I had a shirt on. He'd probably be more familiar with boys having long hair than women shaving while driving. Yeah, exactly. He was sort of a guy. I gave him a quick look and then I should have explained, I should have sort of
Starting point is 00:57:52 been like, ha ha ha, but I didn't. And then you went back to shave. Dropped it back into the console to get some more staff on that blade and I took off. But yeah, I think there's something out there somewhere as an older man who maybe would have gone home to his friends or his family and been like, I saw the most
Starting point is 00:58:06 peculiar thing at the lights. A horn in shaving her chin. Someone messaged you, my colleague and I are cops where we've got no idea. We probably wouldn't pull you over for it though. Can we get a... Can we get a whoop? Whoop?
Starting point is 00:58:22 That would be an embarrassing offence if they were like on you. It's like another $150 fine. Another 20 demerit points. Crime. Shaving bearded lights. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play Zat M's Flash foran and Haley.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day, day. Do do, do do do do do do do do do do. It's Pokemon week here at Fact of the Day. The 30th anniversary of Pokemon is this Pokemon Day, this Friday. Pokemon Day. You guys will be celebrating Pokemon Day? Yeah, man. Get out there, catch a more.
Starting point is 00:59:07 I've got catering coming in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought yesterday we played the theme song. Can I play the Pokemon rap today? Oh, dude, which one? The one that's like... Hidgimon. Hensibur.
Starting point is 00:59:17 But there's two different ones in there? They covered all of the Pokemon. Yeah, that one. Yeah, okay. Oh, let's see if this is still in there somewhere. Six, five. Take care of the hard part. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Oh, I was ready for the rap. Yeah, they wrap it at the end. They wrap all 151 original Pokemon. on Fletch. You know the lyrics. You know Fletch and my... Benethora Tata Fero Pitchi. I didn't check for swear words, but I don't feel like I needed to.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I don't think it'll be sure. I'm actually ashamed to say. I've forgotten that. I used to know this rap. It's so epic the music. It's so like 80s vibes. They didn't muck around when they translated from Japanese. Well, I actually want to talk about the most controversial episodes of Pokemon.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Okay. The most well-known is the day Pikachu took down television. On December 16th, 1997, Japan aired episode 38 of Pokemon, entitled Dino Sinshi Porigone. Electric Soldier, Porrigon. Also, side note, Porrigon is a virtual Pokemon, and he's all straight lines. He's actually named Polygon, but the translation from English to English and the R. Japanese, people can't say R as well.
Starting point is 01:00:36 They literally say polygon and we say Porrigon. Oh, I see. You're right. I know, I was just wondering if it'd be cancelled. Yeah. Is there a polygon? Is there a mona?
Starting point is 01:00:49 No, don't know. Wouldn't have worried. During one scene, there are missiles being fired and Pikachu destroys him with a thunderbolt, probably on ashes. Ashes just flipped his hat around back because he's like Pikachu Thunderbolt. The explosion filled the screen
Starting point is 01:01:02 with a rapid red and blue flashing lights and the flashes pulse at around 12 flashes per second. Within minutes of the broadcast, over 600 children were taken to hospital. It caused seizures, vomiting, dizziness, and temporary blindness. Ambulances, apart from in times of extreme emergency, have never been busier in Japan.
Starting point is 01:01:20 And the news replayed the flashing clip, and guess what? It happened all over again, except a whole lot of adults got hit this time because it wasn't just the thing that affected kids. Because am I right in thinking that when you make a TV show or a film, there are like safe levels for, like,
Starting point is 01:01:36 flashes and sometimes there are a warning for epilepsy and seizures and stuff. flashing lights and you'll get it now if there's ever any sometimes even like gun battles in the dark with all the flashes and everything can sense it. I feel like there might be a filter or settings on edit programs as well that you can put over stuff like that. To prevent it impacting you. Now the episode was about Poregon but it was Pekutu that attacked the missiles and caused the flashes but everybody hated Poregon so much for the sending kids to hospital that he never had in the anime again. The poor little.
Starting point is 01:02:04 poor little Pokemon. So they went off there for four months to make sure no more episodes that they made had any flashing stuff that would have caused it. It caused a revision of the Japanese broadcasting standards and it changed global animation guidelines on how many flashes you could have per second
Starting point is 01:02:20 and the contrast rates. Like the frames and all that. Yeah, wow, okay. Fasinating. So it did. That's the biggest controversial episode of Pokemon. Other ones I will say, there was an episode where a Safari Warden pointed a realistic handgun at the head of a child. I feel like that that's We don't do that.
Starting point is 01:02:35 We don't do that. There was another one where Team Rocket, James from Team Rocket, if you're familiar with Team Rocket, he was on the Kinsey scale somewhere there. But in one episode he dresses up in a bikini with comically over-in-sized inflatable breasts. Okay. It aired once in Japan and never aired anywhere else.
Starting point is 01:02:52 I think it's kind of hot. It's definitely a category, eh? What do you think happened in an episode in 2001 that meant that it probably never aired again? Twin towers. A giant tentacle destroyed skyscrapers in the city. and there was a couple that were right beside each other that looked a little bit like that Twin Towers.
Starting point is 01:03:08 So that one didn't happen. And the biggest, the cultural backlash is there's a character called Jinks, which was originally with black skin and exaggerated lips. Oh, that's... Yeah. That Pokemon's color was changed to a purple, and her lips were toned down.
Starting point is 01:03:24 And again, like the Pyong, didn't appear in too many TV episodes. So today's fact of the day for Pokemon week is that an episode where Pikachu takes down some missiles actually changed animation guidelines and how many flashes you could have a second around the world. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, do-da-do-do-da-da-da-to-da-da-da-to-da-da-to-da-da-to-do.
Starting point is 01:03:54 The Z-M Podcast Network. Play Z-M's Flash, Forun and Haley. Wow, okay, we want to know right now, when did you turn down a massive offer? Could have been money, could have been, you know, an opportunity. Do you remember last week, I figured what we were talking about, but that woman rang in and said that she got offered $40,000 to marry her boss's son? Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:17 And just live in the house. No, daughter. That's right. It's not gay. Yes. We're clarified. You can actually go and watch the video on our socials, by the way. It's a crazy, crazy call.
Starting point is 01:04:26 It's KPI for social media. It's airs to eyes. That was an incredible story. So those kind of offers or just. any kind of maybe a job offer or an offer for something you own and you said no. Yeah, so there's an 86 year old
Starting point is 01:04:42 Pennsylvania farmer called Mervin. He refused an offer of 15 million US dollars to data center developers who wanted to buy his land and converted into
Starting point is 01:04:59 AI Sapping the Universe technology. space. Oh, did they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a data center and like solar power and stuff.
Starting point is 01:05:09 I don't know, yeah, something like that. Without hesitation, Mervyn, at 86 years old, his family's all like, oh, shut up, grandpa. Yeah. Mervin said not, but yeah, 15 million. So we're talking like, what is that, 25 mil, 25 to 30 mil, New Zealand dollars. It must be a lot of land, though.
Starting point is 01:05:28 The family will get to sell that anyway, right? 261 acres. Right, okay. Decent size. Decent size. He said immediately without hesitation, I'm not interested in destroying my farms. He has described his land as highly fertile
Starting point is 01:05:42 and a mecca for wildlife and that he respects God's green earth. I love this land. This land has been my life. And you can take your filthy money elsewhere. I'm not interested. It sounds like something you'd say, but then $15 million would buy you.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Yeah, I'd just go find another slice of God's green earth and some more fertile land. But also, like, wouldn't you just want, I mean, old mates like that will never just go and live it up in, I mean he's 86. Like, what are you going to do with this? He's happy. He wants to see at his time. He's happy. He wants to see it as time. He does have a wife, three children there, and many grandchildren.
Starting point is 01:06:13 I'll let them fight over it then. Oh, God, because one of those three children are going to be like, no, this was dad's wish. And the other two are going to be like, come in. Give me the money. We're going to pay him, baby. Yeah. I do love these stories. So it's like when you see a big shopping mall built around a tiny old home. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Because some old person was like, I'm not so. I'm not moving off. Lifted. for 40 years. And then he slowly starts filling up one helium balloon at a time and tying it to a structural part of his house until he can float away.
Starting point is 01:06:41 You confuse real life with saying Pixar film up. Have I? You have. It's all right. Yeah. And you see, sometimes you see motorways that go around homes.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah, yeah. Which is it big, if you from the developer who's like, well, you're not going to stop us. Yeah, we'll just make you an island. Yeah, we will make you a life of living hell. But maybe it was, you know, it wasn't a financial offer.
Starting point is 01:07:02 It was some huge, you know, come over, sees and do this and throw it all in for a modelling contract in Prague. Yeah, or maybe it was a big job offer, but it was too, too much. I know friends that have turned down big, like, pay rises and management positions because they were like, I don't want the stress. The stress, yeah. I knew a trader who had the opportunity to buy the company who was working for.
Starting point is 01:07:22 The guy was like, I want to retire, do you want to buy the company? He's like, no. What do I want that for? Like, I'm happy turning up and doing it and going home. I don't need, no, no, no. Okay, well, we'd love to hear your calls. 0,800 dials at M, you can text through 9696.
Starting point is 01:07:36 When, I've got one, by the way. When did you turn down a huge offer? Text in. You should text it in. Why, I could just say it because I'm already connected to the microphone. Text in and I'll get the producers to call you back. I'll be like, call the one about that. Okay, I'm going to text in 966-96966. 86-year-old Pennsylvania farmer Mervin
Starting point is 01:07:55 said no to a near $30 million offer on his land from a big tech company. Classic old mate. Turning it, turning it down. He respects God's green earth. Mickey, good morning. When did you turn down a big offer? Hi, good morning.
Starting point is 01:08:12 I turned down the offer to take over my family business. Oh, okay. Was it just too much stress? No, I just signed a contract for my current job that presented opportunities that I could see a future in. And then I got made redundant. Oh, my. And then did you go crawling back to the family
Starting point is 01:08:35 and they were like too late? No, they gave it to my cousin. Oh. Oh, Mickey, no. How's the cousin doing within the role? She's loving it. Yep. She's loving it.
Starting point is 01:08:50 With a taper at the end. It's all good, Mickey. Don't say no more. It'll work out in the end. Yeah. Well, I'm on the hunt at the moment. Okay. Are you playing the role?
Starting point is 01:09:00 You're doing the hardest job of all, the role of the role of the role of the role. Mom? I think you're going to do the hardest job of all. Kidnapper. Can you say hi? Hi. Hi. Who's that?
Starting point is 01:09:11 That's my son. Hi son. He's getting clucky. Oh, yeah, you know me. Absolutely desperate for kids. Mickey, thank you. Johnny, when did you say no to a big offer? I had an opportunity to go and work in Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:09:28 And it involves spending, you know, quite a bit of time down there. wintering over and everything. And I was literally about to sign the deal, and I got offered a job working with Iron Maiden. I mean, you've got to say yes to that. Do you, though? Legends of metal. Johnny, no, you're telling you, I would go to Antarctica in a second.
Starting point is 01:09:51 I'd be trying to get on Antarctica for FM for years. That across God base. Yeah, yeah. You said no to Antarctica to work with Iron Maiden? Yeah. And was it a good job? It's rock and roll, brother. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:05 You're a roll, Johnny. And so no regrets at all? You would say those were wasted years? Oh yeah, pretty good. No regrets. No regrets. That's that Iron Manor song. Running to the hills.

Starting point is 01:10:28 I used to work in, like, TV and film in the UK. And I was working with Shearron, and I was working quite closely with him. And he just said, hey, Kat, do you want to go on a night out tonight? And I was like, oh, yeah, I'd love to. I'd love to. Yeah, super cool. But I had such quite a frustrating relationship at the time, and it was quite strange. So I just said, nah, I can't.
Starting point is 01:10:51 My partner's not going to be very happy with it. So I turned down Ed Sheareran on a night out. Wait, wait. A night out or a night night out? Like I don't know And I guess you never will Yeah you'll never know now

Starting point is 01:11:34 Oh, Cat. Oh, Cat. Thank you. And I'm also assuming that that frustrating relationship your room was over as well. Yeah, actually, can we get a check-in on where that relationship done? It is. How much longer after the Ed Shearer and Knight did it last? Oh, a couple of months.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Yeah. Not worth it. Got it. Cat, thank you. Keep your text coming in, 9-6-96. When you said no to a big offer and some amazing stories coming through. So good. old farmer who said no to millions and millions of dollars.

He later declared his love for me and said I'd be the right girl to marry and I would move to Switzerland. His parents had a huge estate and were filthy rich and I said no to stay in Wellington

Starting point is 01:24:17 For someone who kind of Always has stuff in her hands and always picking up things and moving them. It's a nightmare. It's horrible, actually. It's very hard. There is a rise in the use of a house purse. So, you know, we've got our handbags or our purses
Starting point is 01:24:35 that we're used to go out and about. We keep our phone and a lipstick and all that kind of stuff in it. A house purse is perhaps like a softer, more, probably a little bit bigger one that you would use to carry things around your home. Like a basket? Could you use a basket? I would use more a tote.
Starting point is 01:24:51 I want to bring in our producer girlies here as to whether or not they would utilise a house purse. So imagine especially for yourself. Shannon's house is a purse. I am just in the room. Yeah, yeah. It's all kind of within arm's distance. But if you needed to travel the arduous journey
Starting point is 01:25:09 of lounge to bathroom or lounge to bedroom and you had all your knitting stuff or your crochet stuff and you had your phone, maybe your lip balm and XYZ. Oh, totally. I think about my old places I used to live. I've lived in some three
Starting point is 01:25:25 story houses. No need to brag. Just saying. Oh my God. I'm sorry, money back. It's pretty crazy, man. Sounds like you had a rumpus room. That's giving big rumpus. Huge rumpus. Crazy thing. Permission to tail off. Sidebar.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Sidebar. Please, sidebar. When I moved into my very first flat, it was three stories and there was a sign in the garage that said, happy birthday, Dave. And we left it there the whole time. We lived there, and I didn't know who Dave was. Well, I actually like to say happy birthday, Dave. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:51 But then, like, crazy thing, right? Yeah. The house was haunted. And I think it was Dave. I don't know what that has to do with rumpus rooms. Maybe that was Dave's birthday. It's a sidebar. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:02 To sidebar. Yeah, but normally the sidebar has somewhat something to do with. It was in the rumpus room of the place. Oh, maybe you should have said that. I'm just saying, yeah. It's okay. Yeah. So when you had a rumpus room in a three-story mansion,
Starting point is 01:26:16 which is what I'm picking up. This would be perfect. Haunted mansion. Yeah. this would have been perfect right for moving all your goods. Oh my goodness, I would love just like a little bag and I would make it cutesy as well, of course. And producer Carwin, you know, with all your books
Starting point is 01:26:28 and your vegan sausages, you know, if you were... Yeah, I mean no, no, no, no, no, no, don't mean to brag, but I own a three-story house with... Wow! Actually, actually, my library, which is the whole room is probably the rumpus room. Wow! Wow. I need this actually because I hate when I'm like,
Starting point is 01:26:47 you know what? That book that I want to read is upstairs on the third floor, but I'm on the bottom. One of those townhouses where the garage is the bottom, and then you've got to, in the bedrooms, in the middle, and then you've got to go upstairs, downstairs, upstairs. Yeah, it can be annoying. Well, you need to get yourself, flat, a house purse.
Starting point is 01:27:01 A house purse. So that when you're going from room to room to room, then you can put it all in one spot rather than carry it and have to go back. A tote bag? Like, you know, as Shannon says, you can make it as cute or as practical as you like it to be. Sounds like some white person bullshit.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Oh, this is absolutely driven. by the Parkeyear part of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big Parcair. Play Z-M's flesh, Foran and Haley. And the Olympics are over, the winter Olympics are done. Couple of medals for New Zealand. Commonwealth Games soon.

Starting point is 01:27:58 There was one ton of this cheese eaten over the 16 days of the Winter Olympics. I remember in Italy, you know? Yeah, and that's your carboloding if you're an athlete. Yeah. We're not having carbs without cheese.
Starting point is 01:28:08 No, cargo loading would be the pasta. They had 365 kilograms per day of pasta. See, this is all a dream. Pasta doesn't weigh a lot. That's a lot of mac and cheese, by the way. Yeah, it is. That's macan cheese. 10,000 eggs a day.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Mm. 8,000 cups of coffee a day. And 12,000 slices of pizza per day, which is equivalent every day of a 1.8 kilometer pizza. 1.8K of pizza a day. Wow. Because how many athletes, I don't know if you have this information readily available, how many athletes participate in the Winter Olympics? They had 10,800 diners throughout the villages of the Milan village, the Cortina and the Prado.
Starting point is 01:28:47 So that was 10,800 meals a day. Wow. Some of those coaches, like, do the coaches stay in the village as well? Yes. Okay, right. So you'd have athletes and coaches. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 01:28:59 That's so much food. They ate a lot of food. And then they went through the condoms. Remember that to get more in. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's wild. But do you know what? It's a lot of it was collectors because they kind of had this little black market of memorabilia pops up.
Starting point is 01:29:12 And people just pay so much money to collect stuff. So branded condoms. I thought you were going to say like the Olympians eat free Olympics they go to they collect a condom and I was like that's about low And they do as well
