We'll give you all the details, the chance to win those tickets just before eight o'clock, before the news, listen for that activator to win the very first tickets to see him live. The top six is coming up Vaughn. Mind blowing.
Starting point is 00:01:29 That the once powerhouse of terrestrial broadcast, television, television three or TV three as it's been known. TV three. Yeah, or for the last few years, weird cross HR3E something. That logo was a something, eh? Wasn't that a mess? Wasn't that a mess?
Starting point is 00:01:49 Wasn't a mess. Swung in a mess. Swung in a mess. Sold for a dollar yesterday. All these businesses sell for a dollar. Is it cause they're so like? Cause the debt. Cause you've got lots of debt.
Starting point is 00:01:59 So they're just like, buy this. I guess you take on the debt. Yeah, but you buy it for a dollar. Okay. So you buy it, it's negative. It's like a symbolic amount. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta exchange something you buy it for a dollar. Okay. It's negative. It's like a symbolic amount. Yeah. Yeah, you gotta exchange something.
Starting point is 00:02:07 So it's a dollar. Okay. You're a buck. So I've got the top six other media brands that I reckon you could buy for a dollar. Okay. Okay. Next, so if you are a woman
Starting point is 00:02:17 and you're already aware of the fact that it's much harder than being a man. I've always said this. You have, as a feminized. As a feminized. Well, I've got another reason why it's worse to being a man. I've always said this. You have, as a feminise. As a feminise. Well I've got another reason why it's worse to be a woman. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Yeah. On this, my week of menstruitis. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. Just when we thought it couldn't get more difficult to exist in this female body of mine, there's a new study revealing why women apparently suffer hangovers far more intensely than men. Is it because they don't drink before they go out?
Starting point is 00:02:53 They don't eat. They don't eat. Despite being told, despite being told, I think you should get something in there, something before you drink. Despite being told, hey, have some bread. Yeah. Despite being told, have you prioritised eating?
Starting point is 00:03:05 Having, I would be able to say, every night that I've gotten far too carried away, food, lack of food has been a key ingredient. I'm pretty good when we go out, I'll make everybody eat. You will, you will. I'll be like, come on guys, we've gotta eat. We've gotta eat. Cause when we were younger as well, when we were broke,
Starting point is 00:03:23 it used to be like, if you eat less. You'd cheat, anything is cheating. You could have less drinks, cheaper, blah blah blah. Which is of course terrible. Terrible. A horrendous way of thinking. Obviously we drink in moderation, in safety. I barely drink at all.
Starting point is 00:03:35 God damn it, you please eat a filled roll. Yes, absolutely, I'm better now, but yeah. So no, it's not the fact that we often forget to eat, it is the fact it's estrogen again Which is honestly at the core of everything that makes life difficult and it is it's in the cycle It's you I don't know if I've been watching a lot about how the the menstrual cycle impacts Exercise working out. Oh, yeah, you get weaker or more sluggish and then you get the strength and da da da da Whereas men just go to the gym and lift what they lift.
Starting point is 00:04:05 You know? Yeah, I don't know what to say to this. If you have ever had the experience of putting a... Sounds like everything could have been solved if they just had somebody to eat before we went out. Yeah, that's it. I mean, pizza now, pizza now, it's too late. Yeah, it's too late.
Starting point is 00:04:19 It's too late. You're just chucking a whole lot of doughy stuff on top of an already upset stomach. I think you're gonna vom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is a place in hell for the feeling of putting a hip thrust bar on top of a menstruating womb. You know how you're gonna sit?
Starting point is 00:04:33 Oh, I wouldn't be doing that. What, you're just gonna let your glutes slip away during the week? Let's do some squats. No, no, no. So as estrogen levels, in the first two weeks of the cycle, it's kind of fine, we have like fewer hangover effects. That's sort of day one through to 14,
Starting point is 00:04:49 if you're rocking a regular cycle. And then the second half, when estrogen drops, getting ready for menstruation, the body processes alcohol less efficiently, so it's in us. And then the next day, we're still processing it, whereas men have already kind of moved along. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Worst hangovers. I would say though, something's happened. I don't, I might've been less. I get less hangovers. I just don't get them anymore. I sort of don't get them. That's probably a sign that you just continually drink. I've levelled up.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah, dude. I think I levelled up. That's not good. No, I know it's not good. In your 30s, they get worse. I was like, I reckon mine have gotten better. Maybe I drink slightly less than I did in my 20s and now that's shocking thing to say yeah but I don't yeah I feel I'm going the opposite way maybe when I hit my 40s and
Starting point is 00:05:33 yeah you know 10 or so years time I'll it'll be worse you know what I mean yeah I think it's definitely worse. Well your maths can't get much worse than saying you'll be in your 40s in 10 years time when it's... Ash. Half a decade away. Yeah. Ash. Is that another thing that affects women more, the maths? Maths.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Astrogen makes your maths go out the window. We stop acknowledging the existence of numbers we don't like. Your maths would be better if you just had something to eat. Yeah, I know. I know. Get something in the belly, gals. Play ZM's Flash, Vaughan and Hayley. just had something to eat. Yeah, I know. I know. Get something in the belly, gals. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:06:07 A Hamilton woman appeared in court on Monday afternoon. Wait a gosh darn. What? Is this in New Zealand? Yeah. Unbelievable. Is this the highest story you said before about the half a million dollars
Starting point is 00:06:19 stolen from their employer in New Zealand? In New Zealand, so over, it was actually $499,972.55. Why not just go rig? I'm rounding it up to half a mil. Because it's only what 20 something. I'm actually angry she didn't just get exactly that close. It's like when you're filling up your car with gas.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Sometimes I squirt a bit on the ground, it's a nice round-up. There you go, 80. I mean that's dangerous to other members of the public, but sure. I don't, I just go on record saying I don't. But I do. I overfill the tank. Well, she appeared in court on Monday afternoon and has been charged with stealing the half a million dollars from her employer. Because whenever it's from the white cut, I assume it's somebody I might have gone to school with or not. Ariana Thompson Bell transferred legitimate payments into one of her four personal bank accounts over two years and made deposits into her own daughter's bank account.
Starting point is 00:07:10 So this happened over a couple of years. And yeah, apparently though, the reason this story is kind of catching people's attention, most of the money was spent on takeaways. I'm sorry. Man, let's smash some takeaways. And clothing, so I imagine a couple of white fox hoodies in there. Yeah dude, looking good. Apart from that takeaways takeaways how could you speed like even if every night for two years.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I have just done some maths just some quick maths on one of my favourite items, McDonald's chicken nugget. Okay. A six pack of McDonald's chicken nuggets is $10.20 that breaks down to a dollar... How many? How many? Six. I know it's a tough time in the world. That breaks down to... I'm in a personal recession. I know you are. I might have to buy my own nuggets. So that's a $1.70 a nuggy. So say she's got half a million dollars. She can have 294,117 chicken nuggets from McDonald's. How many is that a day?
Starting point is 00:08:14 So divided by, how many? We'll say two years. So that's $730. Do you not know 365 times two? So that's 805 nuggies a year. No, a day for a year. Times that by 2. So she's having...
Starting point is 00:08:33 If she was to get nuggets... Wait so she'd still have a half a million over 2 years? Yes. Man, what was she working for? That don't notice that amount of money walking out the money. So she's having 402 nuggets a day. Okay. She wasn't. How many hours a day are you awake?
Starting point is 00:08:52 How many hours a day are you awake? Like 16? Yeah, that's if you're getting a full eight hours. I couldn't sleep a full eight hours of fighting. So she's having 23 nuggets an hour every day. If she wants it.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Now the employer had their name suppressed because they obviously didn't want it. Because it's embarrassing. Because it's embarrassing that that happened. Yeah. But I mean like that's a lot to be spending on takeaways. I mean I guess if she says she was transferring to her daughter's account, there must have been more people
Starting point is 00:09:23 she was feeding. Oh absolutely. What was her daughter spending the money on? Probably more nuggas. Takeaways. Isn't that insane? I don't have any of the money left, I spend it on takeaways.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I wonder if though you did sit down with your bank account and work out how much you spent on takeaways. It would shock you, but I don't think my number would even meet half a million. Why absolutely not. I hope not. Because where's that Why absolutely not. I hope not. Because where's that money come from? I hope not.
Starting point is 00:09:48 How have I filtered, how did I? How did you even get half a million dollars? How did they get into my bank account in the first place? It is confronting when you go through your bank statements and even just like how much you spend at the supermarket, Uber Eats, yep. Nonies, nonies, nonies. Guys, breaking news.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Ozzy Osbourne's died. Oh, has he? Ozzy Osbourne's died. Oh, has he? Ozzy Osbourne's died. He wasn't looking good, was he, for a while? I watched his final concert while I was overseas. I paid for an e-ticket. Oh, that's very sad. Because somebody just messaged in.
Starting point is 00:10:14 How about a shout out for Ozzy Osbourne? I was just like, weird to us. Not the right show. To message us. Yeah, yeah. For a shout out for Ozzy Osbourne. Pop on over to Hauraki. Oh, that's devastating.
Starting point is 00:10:23 You'll be up for playing some Black Sabbath, no doubt, Fletch. Next on the show. I don't think so, Vaughan. Oh, come on. But many, I mean, that was, was that the first reality show? The Ozbonds.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It was one of the Kardashians. It was one of the first there. It was the first one that followed a family, yeah. People grew up with that family, didn't they? So did you know that that concert that they did, that Jason Momoa hosted, it had all these great rock legends, and it was the farewell to Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne,
Starting point is 00:10:47 which I watched, was amazing. I know it's off demo, but it was the highest earning charity concert of all time. It earned nearly two- Even more than Live Aid. More than Live Aid. It earned like 174,000, no, million American dollars for charity. Did you put that into live aid, like inflation?
Starting point is 00:11:06 Oh, inflation, yeah, I don't know. I count for inflation. Just saying. There's been a huge amount of inflation since then. Do you know what, actually, they didn't do much for charity. What charity were they raising money for? It was local hospice and yeah, it was good.
Starting point is 00:11:18 That's a good charity. Oh, well that's sad, isn't it? Was live aid for AIDS? I believe so, yeah. Highest grossing charity believe so, yeah. Highest grossing charity concert ever, yeah. 190 million New Zealand, I'm sorry, British, I mean, American dollars.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Wow. Oh, I'll say, that's so sad. 76. Could we just have a little- He looked 76 20 years ago. He did. He had a form of Parkinson's. Did he?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah, everyone just thought that he was drug. It was all drugs and rock and roll. It was decades of drugs and rock and roll, yeah. And that definitely didn't help, but he had a form of Parkinson's. Yeah, yeah. Oh, but honestly, his voice was still amazing in that concert, he still had it.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Not very sad. Mm. Play. ZM. Spledge, Vaughan and Hailey. A study conducted by the Boston College in the United States of America, looked at organizations, 141 organizations in New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:12:13 that's us, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the US, and looked at, compared places of work that did a four day work week and a five day work week. Now the findings will shock you. Is it that people like working less? The organisations that did the four day work week, their employees were happier. Who did this? Boston.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Shocking study results. Yeah, University of Boston, Boston College, sorry. Is that, do the workplaces, if you do the four days, you're doing like extra hours on those days? No, it's four days, but the workload was the same. So that was the expectation. It's not longer days. It's like, get it done.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Just get it done. Shorter work week, cause it's a faff, man. An eight hour work day, there's plenty of faff time. Now do they get to choose the day? Cause that would be a strategy, right? This is, I'm like, I don't know where I'd go. Also, you know, not just some mental health by the way, physical health was actually seen to make a change.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Cause I guess you're getting a bit more rest, a bit more downtime. Yep. With that extra day you've got. Well you've just got another day to party and ruin your body. Yeah, because now we're drinking on a Tuesday. So, because this is what I was thinking, right?
Starting point is 00:13:29 Sunday, you get the Sunday blues because Monday's ahead. Yeah. Then if you're, so they're going, if you take Monday off, is now you've got the Monday blues because Tuesday's ahead. But then some people would take a Wednesday. So you've got two, too many weeks. Too many weeks.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I knew someone that took a Thursday, and she took a Thursday because she's like, if it's a long weekend on a Friday. Now we're having a holiday. You're, exactly. Yeah, because if you took Friday, lots of public holidays on Fridays. It's a waste of the day.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But you would just float your day the week that happens, because you can choose any day. You don't have to lock it in and always. We're not having to lock in. I'm assuming you can do whatever you want. Because you would probably need, but then the workplace,
Starting point is 00:14:12 you'd still need that workplace to have employees spread across the five days. Yeah, so maybe you have to get in and choose ahead of time. Yeah. And lock one in. But I would probably go on Monday or a Friday. But didn't, there's been studies as well that looks at countries that do this,
Starting point is 00:14:25 or companies that do this, and they said that productivity went up. Yeah. Because people are happier, and you feel less like, oh my god, life is here. Very few of us are gonna have jobs soon anyway because of AI, so.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Shh. I mean, we're all gonna just be at home with a universal allowance. Yeah, and a sex robot. And a sex robot, so. 32, they're saying robot. So, excuse me, that sounds like heaven. At home, universal allowance, sex robot, hello, robot communism, sex. I don't know about that Vaughan, I don't know if it's gonna go well. Because we're different, I mean we just, we've got a joke of a job. They're talking about a 32-hour work week, not a 40-hour.
Starting point is 00:15:04 People that work in an office. Yeah, so you're just taking a day away four day work week forces businesses to look at productivity and use worker time more efficiently. But then what about jobs like if you were a nurse we already don't have enough nurses and teachers. No no no they have to work an 80 hour week. That's insane. I would argue that they're exactly the people
Starting point is 00:15:26 that we need to give more leisure time to. Yes, but yeah, I think this definitely is probably following more of a corporate environment. Yeah. Of a traditional 40 hour week. Touching old man's balls, I would want a four day work week. Yeah, give me Wednesdays to not be touching
Starting point is 00:15:41 old man's balls. I want a four day on, four day off. I mean, I think they have gloves on and sponges. Yeah, but you can still feel it. You can still feel the texture. In this economy, you think there's enough money for gloves, willy nilly? What, you think they're raw dogging?
Starting point is 00:15:51 They're raw dogging the balls. Hands on balls. I don't know if they are, man. I don't think they are. I think we can afford gloves. I think we can afford gloves. I mean, if anybody should be handling my old man balls, it's that sex robot you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Well, they're because they're neutral on the balls. And they're just, I don't know if I want to mention. I think cold though, robots hands cold on a ball. No, they've got like seat warmers that you've got to calm on their hands. Two hot balls, two hot balls. They're all adjustable, it's not hot at all. Nurse robots will be warm. Yeah, they'll be warmed.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And they'll have skin like texture on their robot hands. Yeah, when you're checking in, they're like, welcome to the hospital. How hot do you like the hands when they touch your balls? Um, medium... That's me hitting on you. That's me. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:16:39 From the FletchBorn and Hayley group chat, this is the top six. You know, I can remember when TV3 launched, I was a small child. Yeah. And they're like buy-in for the kids with, they were the channel that played Ninja Turtles. And so there was a-
Starting point is 00:16:56 You were hooked. I was hooked. They had the Ninja Turtles on TV3. I just love the TV3. You hear the original? Yeah. They had Hogan's Heroes after school. Do you remember that? I remember Hogan's Heroes, my great dad. They were feeling. They had Hogan's Heroes after school. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 00:17:06 I remember Hogan's Heroes, my great- They were the ones that had Hogan's Heroes. Did they do The Simpsons before TVNZ? I feel like they did. I thought The Simpsons was always on two. Two after Married With Children, Friday night, nine o'clock. They might have though. The Simpsons was on after,
Starting point is 00:17:19 if you watch Married With Children now, you'll be like, whoa. Yeah, that's problematic, eh? Yeah, but that was the one I'd never thought. You can watch that, but you can't watch the filthy cartoon. The filthy cartoon, Early Day Simpsons? Give me a break, Christine. Well, your mum was also worried about Marilyn Manson, too.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Dude, right, least so. No, but Marilyn Manson was a good, you know, 10 years after The Simpsons, she was worried about it. And of course, she was terrified of dinosaurs in the 90s. She was very worried about Jurassic Park. Don't you go to those parks. Don't you dare go to one of those dinosaur parks. I don't know what's there.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Well, Sky Television has purchased TV3 for a dollar. For a dollar? For a dollar. For a dollar. They apparently, five years ago, Discovery bought TV3 for a rumored 20 million today. So for a dollar, that's what you call a bad investment. It's, some would say that. That's what you call a bad investment. Some would say that.
Starting point is 00:18:06 That's what you call. Not great. Well, I've got the top six other media brands you can buy for a dollar. Look guys, I don't want to panic anybody. Traditional media. It's not what it used to be. You're telling me.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And we're on the most traditional of medias. Well, we're doing it right, aren't we? We're holding it right. We're holding it right. Number six on the list of the top six other media brands you can buy for a dollar. The now defunct New Plymouth Gazette. Gazette? Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:18:34 The New Plymouth Gazette. Gazette? Yeah. A gazette even. Extra, extra, read all about it. Mountain not seen for months. Is it struggling, is it? Yeah. The New Plymouth Gazette, months. Is it struggling, is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:45 The New Plymouth Gazette, okay. When was the last time as a New Plymouth man you bought a gazette? A long time ago. Does Bev subscribe to the gazette? Um, I don't know actually. I doubt it. She reads it all online.
Starting point is 00:18:57 She's a lot of women. What does she start her fire with these days? Probably the old gazette. Probably the gazette, yeah. Because I reckon the fact that heat pumps have taken over from traditional wood burners also is why the traditional sales of the newspaper dropping. Do you think so?
Starting point is 00:19:10 100% Okay. Maybe. 100%. Number five on the list of the top six other media brands you can probably buy for a dollar. Those religious TV shows that are still on broadcast television. I mean they're probably worth way more than a dollar, but religious tax dodge. Everything feels like a religious tax dodge.
Starting point is 00:19:25 When you woke up early and you'd be scanning through the channels. Oh, the world of Jesus. Just when we were on holiday, over the last couple of weeks, and we were getting up early to go up the mountain, and I'd flick on the tally. And when it was the ads on breakfast,
Starting point is 00:19:40 I'd go up, up. And it was just, yeah. TV3 was just like religious programming. A lot of people chop sticks. Jesus! Jesus' name! Yeah because Jesus that's two syllables they can make it like five. Jesus! Jesus! Number four on the list of the chopsticks are the media brands you can buy for a dollar the Posty Plus mailer.

I don't know how we're gonna play it but whatever. I don't know. Number two on the list of the top six other media brands you can probably buy for a dollar although I've just looked into it and I definitely don't think you could buy coffee news for a dollar. No If you've never seen it is like this a four double-sided say three three three

So you know, you know the five toe, sorry, I know it was the wrong noise. Five toe shoes, like a glove for the feet. Rock climbing shoes. What are they, do they call them free running shoes?

Starting point is 00:22:56 You just ask him. Those arches. Those heels are gonna ache. And glass as well, they'd be prickles. Vibrams is the kind of sporty one. Okay, look. They're strapped up up toes all separated. There is a guy at our gym that wears them every day. How is he allowed to wear those? How is he allowed to wear those? Because if you drop weights on your foot, they just explode your mushy toes.
Starting point is 00:23:17 If you drop weights on your foot with a shoe, you're still gonna smash your head. Yeah, the top of my shoe is just a fabric mesh. A lactic fabric mesh, yeah. They're so weird to look at they give me the biggest ache. I know but you're used to seeing them right we see them now in sports running hiking the gym every now and then. Guys the fashion news I have for you is that they are creeping into office fashion with No. With younger generations wearing shirts, slacks, ties, and finger toe shoes.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I don't know if Shannon would. I don't think either of you two would. I'll go to HR. I don't even think I've ever seen your dogs. Good, that's probably not true. That's our relationship. Do you hate your dog? Yeah, I hate me.
Starting point is 00:24:02 I wear dog sandals. I have the same ones as Hayley, and I wear those in summer. I don't think I've ever peeped your dogs. I mean, look, you've seen my dogs. I've seen your dogs. It's probably a good thing you haven't actively noticed my toes at work.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, I like to keep a professional distance. But I would prefer a raw dog than a gloved. I know. They're wearing them as like fashion. Ooh, and they just look, they make me sick. Yeah. Do you know Shailene Woodley wore these at the Golden Globes after party in 2012?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Are you kidding? 2012. 2012, she wore them. As if she hadn't heard from her since. And she never worked in the industry again. She never worked in Hollywood again. They give me the energy that you would feel the ground and I don't like that. They give me the energy that you would feel the ground
Starting point is 00:24:45 and I don't like that. Do you know what I mean? They give me the ick. Yeah. If I eat, like, if literally the hottest man in the world, like- What if Jason Momoa walked in and he's wearing those? The last time, he gives it like the energy
Starting point is 00:24:56 he might have a pair. I might have a pair. He might have some weird shoes. I've never seen them. He does rock climbing. I know, I know, but I've seen his rock climbing shoes and I'm okay with them. Just. You know last time when he was here with the band and he walked in and he was looking so good.
Starting point is 00:25:12 If he had the grippy finger toes, like I might have to tap out. I might have to tap out. Right. Guys. Like it's actually an option, like he doesn't have a smoking hot girlfriend. Sorry? What? I'm smoking hot, so it's 100 actually an option, like he doesn't have a smoking hot girlfriend. Sorry? What? I'm smoking hot, so it's 100% an option. We are On Pa Hot, me and Adriana.
Starting point is 00:25:30 So listen, I get the sport... Adriana by the way, if we're going to say the name, let's say it. Yeah, Vorn's all over it. Adriana. Oh, Adriana, they call it Adriana. How to pronounce that. I don't care, I don't care anything about it. If we're going to, we can wear these in your sporting context.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah. I don't understand, we're not here to judge that. Keep them out of the office. Sheila's messaged in. Oh yeah. A friend of mine wore them to his wedding. It was a beach wedding, but they still looked bloody awful. Have a good day.
Starting point is 00:25:55 A beach wedding? How are we supposed to have a good day now, Sheila? Sheila, you've ruined our day. You'd wear a nice Birkenstock, wouldn't you? You'd wear a slide. A chandelier, I'll accept if we're being that casual. A nice leather jandle. A leather jell except if we're being that casual. A nice leather jandle.
Starting point is 00:26:07 A leather jandle. Maybe he's worried about shampyana. This is absolutely great. Is that marriage still going? I would like to know actually Sheila. I absolutely doubt it. We were slapped in the face with this announcement weren't we? The Devil We Are Prada 2 and it was announced by Stanley Tucci and Anne Hathaway and the
Starting point is 00:26:34 producers Instagrams and it wasn't like hey we're working on it was like we've started filming. Everyone was like what what what? A flawless movie. It is kind of flawless. Do we need another one? Whenever there's a movie and it's so. Do we need another man on this show? Do you know what I mean? We'll just do our man in a woman.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Why don't you shut your little mouth? Do we need another one? I'm so sorry to the woman listening. Do we need another like. Yes, it's like. Sequels. No, but that's the problem. It's a dangerous game.
Starting point is 00:27:01 It's a dangerous game. It is a dangerous game. I'm with you there, it's dangerous. Because it could ruin the whole thing. Well this is what people are scared about because it's been filming and paparazzi, it's films in the streets of New York, so paparazzi have been like watching and we got a first look at Anne Hathaway back in her role of Andy, the aspiring journalist. Because what is she now?
Starting point is 00:27:23 Exactly, last time she was clueless, lovable. We didn't, you know, she didn't know anything about fashion. Then she had this big transformation and then realised that love was important and left Miranda, priestly, and kind of went off. And then we're like, so what is part two? And looking at it, I'm like, okay, so we're starting and she's beautiful, fashionable already.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Is she the dog by dog now? I don't know, but Meryl's here. Meryl's in the cast. Is she going back to mode magazine? I've never seen it. Is it mode yet? Or is the magazine even existing now in this tough climate of magazines and media?
Starting point is 00:27:59 It is, it's supposed to reflect Vogue, which I guess will be one of the last ones to go. Maybe it's gonna talk about the dying magazine industry. But people are like, oh, the reason we loved it is because Andy was so lovable. And now Anne Hathaway, Annie Hathaway. Mm. I'm always going to say Anne. She's had it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 She's done a lot. Oh, that's right. She came out and said it's Annie. It's Annie. That's right. It's like you can't just come out now after 20, however many years and say it's Annie. If you want it to be Annie, put an I before your E. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Except after C. Except after C. Cause that would be Kenny. Now, so yeah, I mean she's had a major sort of face, it would be Anki. She's had a major face lift recently. Who? Anne Hathaway, she's changed her entire face.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Oh no, she hasn't. She has, and I say this with complete, like she has autonomy to do so, and I will also be doing the same one day in the future. I know. But just for the character, you're kind of like, oh, I'm just, people are just a bit like, huh, what's the journey gonna be?
Starting point is 00:29:00 This is why I say it's dangerous to ruin, you know, a great movie with a sequel. I know, I still so excited though to get back into that world and those actors like Annie Hathaway wasn't super famous at that point. Meryl Streep was a nobody. Stanley was too well known at that stage. Emily Blunt wasn't super and then she played, she was so funny in this film and then her career went nuts and they're all back. She's just talking about Emily Blunt yesterday. God, she's great, isn't she? She is phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Everything, Edge of Tomorrow, remember that movie? Yeah, she's great in that. She was so great. Remember when we interviewed her for Fall Guy? Yes. So lovely. Yeah, she was great. Yeah, with Ryan Gosling. Gosling. Yeah, she was lovely. She gives a vibe that if she walked in, he should be like, hell guy. Yes. So lovely. Yeah. She was great.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah, with Ryan Gosling. Gosling. Yeah, she was lovely. She gives a vibe that if she walked in, he should be like, how are you? Hello. Let's just hang out. Yeah. Should we?
Starting point is 00:29:53 When's the movie meant to come out? Next year. The same time, at like 20, was it however many years later than the original? Was that the plan? Yeah, it was like the 20th anniversary or something like that. May 2026, May 1st, 2026, Seas 20th Century Studios. Okay. Not a long way. Silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Scooby-Doo to one.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Was this your idea today for Silly Little Pole Vaughan? Yep. Do you guys like going for a drive? Love it. Where the journey is the destination. Just a Sunday drive. We used to call it, my papa famously called it a tiki tour. Yeah nice.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I used to do it with my dad a lot. Yeah, go for a drive. Yeah, should we go for a drive? Should we go for a drive? Yeah. No destination and then sometimes you'd stop, you'd always get like an ice cream or something. Food or something.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Or lollies. Maybe when fuel was cheaper. Yeah, I think it was. I honestly think it was when fuel was cheaper and it would literally be like, you could fill your tank for 30 bucks and then that was a day's work in 1930 yeah no I remember my the old Toyota Starlet in the 90s my Mr. Philadephman
Starting point is 00:31:12 was 30 bucks yeah what was fuel was a dollar a liter yeah and tanks were 30 liters yeah and you go for a tiki tour well do you like going for a drive? 73% of people said yes. Yeah, that is nice. What do you like going for a drive? Really? Yeah. A bit of music, especially with summer windows down. Music or a podcast?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Yeah, nice. Yeah, I think podcasts are all the radio. Yep, you can listen to our podcast on iHeart Radio if you are going for a drive. Take us wherever you go. All the live radio show. That's a kilogram per inch, that one. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It's a good KPI. Yep. Let's hear from some people. Angela said, petrol is too damn expensive for random drives these days. Yeah, we're feeling that, Ange. We're feeling that. I voted no, but I do like it when I'm the passenger princess
Starting point is 00:31:56 to being driven around, says Kylie. I'm not a passenger. Yeah. Also yesterday on the show, we did mention that Dr. Shawnee freended the show. Apology of show. And show physician. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:07 He is very upset that you both sort of said when you caught up with him in Europe, him and Jared, that Jared was the driver. Yeah. I just assumed he was the driver. We are equity. Yeah. We said that Dr. Shawnee was too whimsical.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Yeah. Well, he's upset he messaged me. He wants us all to know. He took time out of hiking the Swiss Alps, the semi video, to say he's an equi driver. Yeah, they're an equi couple. An equi couple. FVHZM formally apologises to Sean for that.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Sam says, I spend too much time in traffic to entertain silly ideas like going for a drive. Now that's a quintessential element of going for a drive is there is no traffic. Yeah, you want to go for a drive on a... No, you're not, yeah, leaving the house at quarter to five. Yeah. In rush hour. No. Heading into the city. On Thursday. Yeah. Well, unless you would go for a drive. No, that's called going for a sit. Yeah. Danielle said,

Episode 8 is out, isn't it? Yeah, it is today. To get picked up by someone, a wrestler. What do they see? Oh my god. What do they see at most?
Starting point is 00:33:12 What the hell is that about? So, you can see it. Morgan does a YouTube series called Pillow Talk where she dives into a little bit more of the information not included on the podcast. Watch it. I got someone bust into this room and picked me up and hauled me over their shoulder. Oh man. Oh, you would have hated it That's pretty giggly My girl I went to school with called Chrisel messaged me last night. Chrisel?

Yeah, with an amethyst on its forehead. She wanted me to pass on that she really enjoys sex, don't you love? Oh, thank you. Well received. Thank you very much. She didn't compliment me on any of my work. Yeah, oh, rough.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Oh, no. I might lead in with that, Crisson. Very rough. Yeah, I accept that, thank you. I just said I'd pass it on. We probably should have just done it off. Off air, we could have done that off air. But I know you like your compliments.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I do. And when someone else hears you getting your compliment, it sort of amplifies the compliment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of the listeners just heard it. Public compliments are my favourite kind of compliments. Yeah, that's for you then. I get travel sickness on the five minute drive to work.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Even when I'm driving. Really? I've been known to pull over and have a cheeky vom when driving from one side of town to the other. It's the worst arm in ever. Oh. That's from Lucy. Lucy, that's terrible. Because I get motion sickness.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That's why I always have to sit in the front if I'm not driving. Yeah, that I don't have to cancel that boat. Surprise boat trip for Vaughan. I am no good on a boat. I'm good on a flat. Is he not good on a boat? No, he's terrible on a boat. He can go on them.

Starting point is 00:35:38 Has some wee stuck out? I've had a terrible accident. Brian's there going for a drive, kind of ironic really, it's my job and I do it 14 hours a day, six days a week, but sometimes I'm just like, nah,'s there going for a drive kind of ironic really it's my it's my job And I do it 14 hours a day six days a week But sometimes I'm just like I could go for a drive.

I said all like a baby and it's car seat I hate it
Starting point is 00:36:02 Slow down there, they're breaking up ahead. Yeah. Why are you driving so slow down? Geordie said, I once drove two hours there and two hours back to pick up a Facebook marketplace purchase that it works out would have cost $2 to post. I'm so sorry to hear that. That would spoil a drive. So we asked you, do you like going for a drive? And 73% of you said, yeah we do.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Vaughan Allen, you're currently in a personal recession. I am in a personal recession. Thank you for recognising that. We've talked about this a lot. Sometimes Fletch and I might be like, let's go and do this or let's go and do this. Like yesterday, a great example of personal recession,
Starting point is 00:36:40 Hayley and I had eggs on toast and Vaughan bought his bowl of porridge to the cafe and made it on the cafe's premises. And we shouted him the coffee that he drank while he was there. I really appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Personal recession. Personal recession and I think that's great.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And you know that I have been in a personal period of spending. You know, I've been... You're in a rock star economy. I'm in a recession. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not that I've got more money available to me than you. It's that shopping makes me happy. Yeah, you're chasing the dopamine. The dopamine hit, the unhealthy dopamine hit. You should be in a personal recession also.
Starting point is 00:37:14 We should all be in a personal recession. Yes, absolutely. And so I would like to formally announce that I am gonna enter my own personal recession very soon. I'm gonna join you, Vaughan, and I'm saving. How day am I? Oh, wow, thank you. How are you going to get the dopamine hits?
Starting point is 00:37:28 I don't know. Do you know what we should do for Hayley is set up a shop, a fake shop. I love my shops. We put all of her clothes on the rack and put price tags on them. All like stuff I haven't worn for ages because I've got bags of it.
Starting point is 00:37:42 And then you come in. This is the trend I've heard people talking about this. You shop your wardrobe. What, really come in. This is the trend, I've heard people talk about this. You shop your wardrobe. What, really? Yeah. Shop your own wardrobe. Because I've got bags of stuff that didn't fit anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Of course you do. And that you've worn zero times. I literally just walked in before and thought of a dress that I haven't worn in years and I was like, that's gonna look good on Shannon. I'm gonna bring that in for Shannon. But you can come into our fake shop and we'll sell it back to you.
Starting point is 00:38:02 This is good. Fake, this is, yeah. Are we running the shop and we'll sell it back to you. This was good. Fake? This is... Yeah. Are we running the shop? Yeah. Are we allowed to character? Yes, please character. I don't want to buy a Persian rug. Gay retail, man.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Diddly-diddling, I'm through the door. Hello, darling. Oh, hello. Hi. I knew we were going to get a special shopper today. Oh my god, stop it. Here she is. Well, listen, I just... Here she is, just she is. Well listen, I just, I'm just looking.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Here she is, just like the tea leaves told me. Ah, I love. Cool. Hey, I'm going out to a dinner on Saturday. I know you are. Why would you be at home on a Saturday night, this thing? Ah! Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Why is this thing, I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:36 who's not taking this thing out on a Saturday night? Oh my god, well I'm just going out with a friend, but I just would. A friend? We're not making much noise. We've all got special friends sweaters. I just like to look hot and look cool. Or turn around and walk yourself straight back out that door because you already do.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Get back in here! Get back in here! I work on a commission bitch. I work on a commission. I want something kind of short because I've got great legs. But I don't want to be too cold. Iced Americano! Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Okay, so you want to look what? I just want to look hot and cool and like fun, but I don't want to be too cold, but I want my legs out. Bitch. I have got just the thing. Go and get your cat off behind that curtain. I'm going to bring her straight to you. Don't worry, leave the titties out. I don't care, I don't like them. Oh my god. Don't have to hide from me.
Starting point is 00:39:24 You've got nothing to worry about here, girl. Okay, we can play shop in my god. Don't have to hide from me. Don't have to hide from me. You got nothing to worry about here, girl. Okay, this is great. Okay, we can play shop in my garage. And then you'll get the dopamine hit. Can I have one last real dopamine hit though? And this is the, before I enter my personal recession. Okay. There's one last thing I wanna buy.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And it is called Weiner Piglet. And it is in fact- Well you've got no play. As a man who owns a pig, you're the only one now. I had a pig guy, I don't really want to talk about it. Oh you don't want to talk about it. We don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Well this one will be less care because it is a taxidermied miniature stuffed Weiner Piglet. No, that's not what piglets look like. That looks like one of those, no that looks like one of those dogs, those African bush dogs. I'm gonna buy, the girls are up on their feet saying no. But look at it, it's a taxi-dermied, miniature pig. That's the only angle it looks good at.
Starting point is 00:40:15 That's also not a pig. But then I'll enter my personal recession. It's just a baby pig. But then I'll enter my personal recession, ask if I'm allowed to buy the Wynne and Piglet. You should have told me, that looks a lot like the pig I just had. I lost. I don't want to talk about my pig that died,
Starting point is 00:40:26 but Herman looked like that. But wouldn't you like it if that was in my house? And then you'd be able to come around just to say hello. No, I wouldn't like it. I'd actually ask you to put that shit away before I came around. You are in a personal recession.
Starting point is 00:40:37 So I shouldn't buy a taxi-dermied Weiner Piglet? No, exactly. Well, you guys are no fun. I was having fun and now I'm not having fun. I don't even want to know how much they're asking for this. Listen, a reasonable price for a taxidermy between a piglet. 400, up or down?
Starting point is 00:40:51 Up. What, Haley, no! You can't afford that! $468. For taxidermy, that's a reasonable price. It's a wonderful skill and I think a dying craft, but no. Let's go back to the fake shop. We are downsizing.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Let's go back to the fake shop. Should I just describe it? We are downsizing and need to find a home for my sitting piglet. She passed away several years ago from natural causes on a family farm. She's in very good condition, no damage. Length, 59 centimeters.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I will post it by his website. Why are they selling it? They're downsizing. They said they can't, don't have space for the wiener piglet. It's tiny. What do you mean they're downsizing? Go back to the fake shop. Okay, well then I need more, I need dopamine. Back to the fake shop, go back to the fake shop.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I'm coming out of the dressing room. Yeah. It's a bit booby for me. Talking to wiener pigs. I've gone bitchy by the way. Something's happened and my mood's changed. You just prefer food at me as a wiener pig? Yeah, you know how guys turn on,
Starting point is 00:41:41 what you looking at bitch? Get out of my shop then if you've got a problem with it. Oh my God, I hate this whole experience now. Bitch, I'm just kidding. Come on. A couple of wiener pigs in that dress don't know what I'm saying and I know what I'm seeing. Okay, thank you. I'll buy it.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I don't... Yeah. I'll buy it. No. You're not buying that pig. That's disgusting. Please don't buy that pig. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:41:59 It's expensive and also yuck. Do you know what you guys are? No fuck. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Hey, Suki Waterhouse. She's a actress and singer and married to... In the UK? Robert Pattinson.

Starting point is 00:42:53 One morning I'd wake up, she'd be gone. She was sick at the Yamaha jokes. Yeah, all the like... I'd call her Kawasaki. Yeah. I think she'd walk into this room and see you and be like... Yuck. And then like...

She wore, remember those? She wore skinny jeans. Thumb your guts in. The women know what I'm talking about, the mid-area.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And you used to be like this, do the button and then be like thumb in the guts. And they're like zip and you're like, I'm in. She wore skinny jeans so tight that she got a hernia. Because they were so tight, they damaged their abdominal wall and that's when something is like, enables something to be strewn out. Yeah, because the hernia is tearing your abdominal wall
Starting point is 00:44:13 and the bits start poking out. Pushing out. I had a hernia when I was a kid. Yeah, and that's when they fixed your belly button. Yeah. When they were in there for the hernia, they pulled it back in. I got a free on the government.

Starting point is 00:44:37 Yeah, well she got a hernia from wearing skinny jeans. She ended up, she was in a lot of pain cause they're not comfortable, are they? No. A lot of pain went to the doctor and then they were like, that's a hernia. Have you had any kind of pressure or something? And they worked out this super, super tight pair of pants.
Starting point is 00:44:50 And then out of fashion, she ended up in hospital, and that's what I wanted to ask this morning. When did beauty end with a trip to the doctor? Maybe you were doing a little at-home wax, and you didn't read the temperature right. Oh, birds. Oh my god, a groin will burn. Are we counting home done piercings that got rampantrously infected?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Yeah. Or like, are we counting the time that Sookie Woodhouse flipped a cigarette at me? Kinda like that. No, we're not. It wasn't in the name of beauty and fashion. But even women that wear the heels, they're always causing trips to the hospital.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Totally, or maybe you went to do a fringe trim and you just stabbed it through your eyeball. Now you're blind to both eyeballs. We'll take calls like that. Okay, well if you can dial, you're fine. Imagine rocking into a hospital with a munch fringe and an eye pierce with scissors. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I mean, that's a terrible combo. It's a bad day for me. What are you more upset about, the munch fringe? Because I had a bad day, I got a munch fringe, my eyes are all bleeding and I'm in the hospital. That was actually Daniel Powders' original version. It was a test draft I believe. Okay, 0800 DALSATN, we'd love you to call us now
Starting point is 00:45:55 with your story, you can text through 9696. When did beauty or fashion cause a doctor's visit? We wanna know when you ended up at the doctors in the name of beauty. Tyler, what happened? Hi, so I was shaving my legs in preparation for a date. Okay, great. We got a thorough shave. Thorough shave and the razor slipped and in the moment I panicked and I caught it. I've done that. I've done that.
Starting point is 00:46:22 In the moment I panicked and I caught it. Oh! I've done that, I've done that. I've had my, I've got one of those shit quattro like, quattro, oobly doobly, like four or five blades. And I put my finger, yeah, I put my finger into my toiletries bag and went to slide and I was like, ugh! Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:46:40 I've actually done that as well, but. Ugh! I've not learned my lesson. So raise it, slipping slipping from hand near leg. We go, we grab it. What happens? Grab it and it catches two of my fingers. And I lose the tip of my index finger fingernail.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Jeez! Why are you shaving with like an old school straight edge blade? Just a blade. No. No. Okay. It fell very awkwardly and I didn't go to the hospital exactly but I did go to the doctor just in case because I'm very anxious about that sort of stuff but it all ended up okay in the end. Did you go on your date? How was the date? It was fantastic. He's now my boyfriend. Awwww! What was worth it, Tyler! That was nice! That was a good one. Cute, cute, cute.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Tyler, thank you. Anonymous, when did a beauty end up with a trip to the doctor? It didn't... Look, I didn't go to the doctor's out of sheer shame, but I did glue myself to the lounge floor with hot wax, trying to get myself a bikini job. Oh!
Starting point is 00:47:52 I don't reckon you should sit down on the floor while you're doing that. You don't sit! I don't think you can get a leg up on the bars or something. Yeah, I was young, I was home alone, mum's wax was waiting for me and I decided to... What, can I ask, what kind of floor surface was it? It was carpet, it was carpet so I had to tear myself off it.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Carpet to carpet. Yeah. The worst part is when you tear yourself off and your pubes are stuck in the wax, it's stuck to the carpet. Yeah, we've gone rug to rug. And it'd be better if it pulled the carpet off but it's never going to is it? Oh my god that's so good, anonymous thank you. Some messages and when did beauty end up with a trip to the doctor?
Starting point is 00:48:27 Clamped my ear with a hair straightener and the skin literally just melted off. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The whole ball went... Did the piercing hole absorb it? Oh god! Keep your tics coming in, nine six nine six Suki Waterhouse wore jeans so tight that she got a hernia That is wild, eh? There's some stories in that you're like this is why we have professionals that train to beauty school to do these things
Starting point is 00:49:00 Went to course We're not doing them, they done course They're there to do your wax. Oh my God! What? Oh my God! Go. I once sellotape my nipples
Starting point is 00:49:13 so the pervert work couldn't see them when I got cold because they commented on them before. On your nubs! I got an infection on one of my nipples after removing the sellotape and ended up at the doctor. I think that's a warning for everybody going to Lord next year when they do the duct tape on the... I would put a cotton pad or some gauze under the duct tape.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Gauze the nipples, yeah for sure. I'm sure Lord would have gauzed the nips. Oh, absolutely. Our good Lord gauzed. Do you know that's one of my... Cause you know I watch a lot of police procedurals. I always can tell when they duct tape someone's mouth shut that there's duct tape on the other side.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Oh really? Yeah. You can see. So that shh. Yeah. I'd like to see more of it, you know. More of a pull on the mouth. More of a pull, yeah, on the skin.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Oh, awesome. Yeah, because it does. Someone said, first mistake, I bought a lipstick in Thailand. Something tells me it was not L'Oreal. Went out to brunch with my girlfriend for her birthday, decided to wear it. My lips swelled up so much, I had a huge allergic reaction.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I was vomiting for two days afterwards, went to hospital. Okay, that wasn't worth the money saved, was it? Yeah, that was, yeah. My god. Mm-hmm. My daughter, now no names here, because I'm imagining this daughter would be horrified to know mum's messaging this into the station.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Yeah, love this. My daughter, when she was young, thought it would be a good idea to use hair removal cream on her vagina. Oh no, no, no, no. That stuff is aged in orange. Yeah dude. Top of the mound at the max. And your vagina is a Vietnamese village. Yeah. And it is just spread across. Far out. It's napalm. It's napalm. It is. It's vaginal napalm. It is. Vietnamese napalm, vaginal napalm. Yup. So, she puts on the hair removal cream down below. Does not read how quickly it needs to be washed off.
Starting point is 00:50:51 No, no, it's like three minutes. It's the minimal time. And people are like, well, I want all the hair gone, I'll wait 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It says six, that means 16. But I'm coarse down there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I wouldn't even apply it to sensitive areas. What happened? She needed to go to the doctor for chemical burns to the area and her words, my vagina looks like the dogs that after she had puppies. Her words, her own words. Far out. And let that be a lesson to us all. I mean, yeah, don't be using it.
Starting point is 00:51:16 It says on the packets as well. Don't use on your genies. Genies, no intimate areas. Yeah. Katie here, four year old me, was desperate to be Sporty Spice, fully committed committed so I broke a plastic ring, ripped the gem off and shoved it so far up my nose it vanished. She wanted a fake nose ring. Straight to hospital doctors had to fish a fake jewel out of my nasal cavity because I thought I could pierce my own nose. I moved to another city for work got my eyelashes tinted and had an allergic reaction plus contracted viral conjunctivitis. My eyes were glued shut, puss and gunk,
Starting point is 00:51:46 weeping out of both of them. The new PA started at work and her first job was to come to my apartment each day to feed me as I couldn't see. Boss ended up calling my mum to come and help me as they didn't have the resources to care for me at full time. Great first week at work.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I was a 26 year old female when this happened. Oh gosh. Oh no, that's not good. I was, okay. I was curling my eyelashes, you know, the big clampy devices. When a glass aftershave bottle fell out of the bathroom cabinet
Starting point is 00:52:14 and knocked the eyelash curler out of my hand, all lashes now in the lash curler and not on my eye. Oh my god. Ripped them out. Ripped them out. Ripped them out. You'd sneeze I reckon. You know when you pull a bit of facial hair out you always have a sneeze?
Starting point is 00:52:30 I don't think you'd sneeze. I reckon all of your eyelashes. That's not a sneeze. Decided to do some manscaping. Oh here we go. Thank you. Turned out the clippers weren't sterile. And I ended up getting a scrotal infection.
Starting point is 00:52:43 The boys swelled up to twice the usual size and eventually all the skin peeled off. Oh! I had it like a snake de-shedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah, fresh, fresh soft balls though. Except it wasn't the snake de-shedding, it was the balls. You had nice soft balls for a while.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Had a fever and had to spend three nights in hospital. What? I don't know if you would have nice soft balls. I think you'd have large, tightly wrapped, I think they'd be, yeah. Very painful hard balls. Yeah, but when you shed that calloused layer. Every doctor, nurse and cleaner in the place
Starting point is 00:53:09 had to come and have a look. Low point in my life. And cleaner, okay, I don't think the cleaner's allowed to look. Yeah. You don't need to be here. I got a Prince Albert. Can we also have a follow-up?
Starting point is 00:53:17 Did weather balls smooth eventually? When they healed. Do you know what I mean? When you peel your feet, you do a foot peel. Was it a chemical peel? Was it a rejuvenated stroke? Yeah. Maybe something the Casey Clinic can look into. Because I do chemical peel? Was it a rejuvenated stroke? Yeah. Maybe something the Casey Clinic can look into.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Because I do chemical peels at the Casey Clinic and my skin's so soft. I think we all need to have a word with our children. Okay, my son used feet on his testicles. He burnt them so badly, he needed a hospital stay. Red, raw, and seeping, but hairless. I don't think I'll ever grow hair nor skin again. I think those things are so scarred.
Starting point is 00:53:47 There's just so many. I got a Prince Albert as a bed. Not bad until I nearly bled out. I woke up and my bed was entirely full of blood. I must have like rolled and it tugged and it pulled and it just profusely bled all through the bed. Okay, that makes me sick. It's hot in here.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yeah, it's got a bit sweaty. I need to go outside Please ZM's flesh for an inhaler now we see now We're actually a bit annoyed about this. We weren't even asked we sent Bryn Rudd can over to talk to Ed Sheeran Got to ask a question Bryn why? So, why did you get to go just once a bit upset? Well with this could have boosted me up to silver level on yeah in New Zealand Yeah, no, I think I'm like the boss's favorite. That's why I got to know that yeah you are people do love you Brinnets effect Now are you a J? Are you a jade or a silver or a gold on in New Zealand?
Starting point is 00:54:39 Well actually flew the very popular airline at La Tarn because they fly from South America to Sydney, so somehow I ended up on a Le Tarn flight. But that was nice, because I got to use my Duolingo skills. I learned a bit of Spanish before I got on board. Give us a little taste of your Duolingo then. Get to say something to us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Bonjour. No, that's French. No, that's French. You cocked that up, right? Yeah. That's really nice. Okay, well so that makes Warren feel a lot happier. You wouldn't have got air points for that. No, I wouldn't have You cocked that up, right? Yeah. So that makes Vaughan feel a lot happier. You wouldn't have got air points for that.
Starting point is 00:55:07 No, I wouldn't have. Different airline. Ok, fantastic. Polo, Polo or Pascardo? That's chicken or fish. Wait. You're back to French there, Bryn. Now this event that was in Australia was at a pub.
Starting point is 00:55:22 It was, yes. And they had transformed it into the old phone pub, which is a bit of a nod to his lead single in his new album, Old Phone, which is about an old phone that he found in a box. That's right. Very cool, very cool setup. And lots of like memorabilia, lots of old photos.
Starting point is 00:55:41 There were photos of him with Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Harry Styles, a very baby faced Ed Sheeran as well. A really random event, I'm not going to lie, it was sort of bizarre because it was all over Zoom. It could have been an email, I could have done it from New Zealand. Yeah, it could have been an email. Yeah, it does feel like it. Yeah right. He wasn't actually there right? He was away. Hell of a carbon footprint on this Bryn. Yeah I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I'm actually glad I didn't go. You've got a lot to answer for. You might be cancelled Bryn. I don't think Lutane sort of count their carbon footprint. Not like here in New Zealand. Yeah right right right. So you as our representative were only allowed to ask one question of Ed Sheeran. Were you a bit nervous about this?
Starting point is 00:56:24 Have you talked to Ed Sheeran before? I had about three pints of beer beforehand so I wasn't nervous. That'll help. I'm professional. We wouldn't have done that had we been sent. And then, there were other media people there, did they ask questions before you and were they better questions? Were you like, Dan that was a good question, I should have asked that.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Yeah, well they sent me in the same row as Sky News. That's the real deal. Haven't they gone a bit like a bit crazy right wing though? Sky News Australia? Have they? Did they ask about vaccines and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they ask about vaccines and gender? No, no, well climate change came up I think.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Oh yeah, yeah. You're the one that flew to Australia on a plane just to ask one question. Okay so how did you land on your question? Yes so because it was a room full of Australian people, I was the only New Zealand media person there so I had to ask the one New Zealand question and it was kind of nice because he's going back to Christchurch for the first time in 11 years
Starting point is 00:57:22 and he's performing the last ever show at that Apollo Projects stadium before they moved to their brand new one. Oh the new stadium looks good doesn't it? It's really coming together. Well let's have a listen to this question. You've played to massive crowds in Auckland and Wellington before and I know that you've said that Wellington is one of your favourite cities but you're returning to Christchurch again for the first time in over a decade.
Starting point is 00:57:45 You were there just a few years after the earthquakes. I want to know how do you feel about going back there, but also is it a really special moment for you to return to Christchurch? Yeah, I think for me when I tour New Zealand, it's nice to tour New Zealand. I think that the first couple of times that I played New Zealand, I'd play Auckland or maybe Wellington, and I remember the first time playing Christchurch. Just being excited that I was playing outside of the two major big cities and I felt the same
Starting point is 00:58:13 thing when we played Dunedin and it just feels like I'm from a place like that so it feels special when music tours go to places that aren't necessarily like the capital city. Yeah, I love New Zealand. I sort of keep, every time I'm in New Zealand, I keep saying to my wife, we should move here, and then we sort of get back home and realize it's a long way from a family, but I love touring New Zealand. And it's more of an excuse to kind of be there for a month as well, rather than just be there for a weekend, you sort of go there and play a few shows and you can actually
Starting point is 00:58:47 like bed in there and stay there. Fantastic question. He really gave you a good answer. He gave you a lot. He did. He did. Absolutely. Yeah, good look at him. Which was the only New Zealand question. I'm actually going to have to raise that as a fringe benefit tax issue though. Yeah, that sounds like a month long holiday.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Vacation, tax deductible vacation. Tax deductible vacation. You think he's writing it all off. Oh yeah, absolutely. Well, exciting. So any other tidbits from this promo? Cause I heard him say it's a new stage as well. New stage, new visuals.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I mean, the question though that everyone wanted answers to was about the kiss cam. And if Coldplay's ruined that for everyone, apparently he's never done a kiss cam before and he sort of dismissed that question fairly quickly so don't know if there will be a kiss cam. Okay. Okay so you may be safe if you are having an affair and going to Ed Sheeran. Sounds like a hell of a place to have an affair. Yeah yeah. Next year. Bryn thank you so much and those details are at ZM online it's the Ed Sheeran loop tour coming to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in January.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Those tickets are on sale the 29th of July. ZM Online for all the details. Vibrant and tonic. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Now we talked about Compatico not too long ago, a New Zealand dating website that has a little bit more of a personal touch.
Starting point is 01:00:07 And we have the CEO, Elise, in studio. Good morning. Good morning. Now, Compatico, we're- Far too young to be a CEO, as a compliment. Thank you. That's a compliment. How old are you?
Starting point is 01:00:17 I am 29. Yeah, under 30, see? Are you on the under 30? Have you made a list of 30 under 30? 30 under 30. Not yet, but look, it's on the vision board. Yeah. Good, okay.
Starting point is 01:00:27 So we were talking about Compatico because it's slightly more involved than your general Tinder bumbles, swipe, swipe, just sort of hope for the best and sort of trudge through the muck. That's the rule. Trudge through the muck. Yeah, yeah, and if you're on a dating,
Starting point is 01:00:42 you know which one's a muck. Yeah, all of them. Yeah, yeah, and if you're on a dating, you know which one's a muck. Yeah, which one's all of them. Yeah, whereas Compatico, you guys, it's like so much more hands-on, isn't it? Oh, absolutely. So people, basically, if you were to become a member, you fill out a We-Form and then we jump on a video call. We do a police check of you
Starting point is 01:01:01 just to make sure that you are who you say you are. Wow, okay. What if they do tell you that you are gonna find stuff in their police check? Sometimes people do. People do. They're like oh look you might find some stuff. Like just some light fraud. Yeah, one naturally. But it was ten years ago. People love a bad boy. Yeah they do. I went to Rhythm and Pines and got a bit out of hand. Yeah no we have we have definitely seen fraud and sometimes you're just like, you know what, look, thank you for replying.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I'm sorry. I said no. It's a no, it's a no, because it's dishonesty, you know, and we've got to protect people. But if someone got a speeding fine, it's like, you know, I think you're probably a good person. You're just a little bit of a Lightning McQueen. What if it was 350kms on the desert road?
Starting point is 01:01:43 Jesus Christ. I'd be impressed. What are they driving? A fighter jet? Yeah. Right. So what's your background? How did you get into this? Yeah I actually came from running a marketing agency so very different but not really you're just marketing people rather than products. Well that's it, exactly. And I can really sell Barry from Tomaranui. Jesus, good luck. Tell us more about Barry. Why? I'll tell you right now, I'm not moving to Tomaranui.
Starting point is 01:02:12 There's no way in hell. So basically, once they do this form and they do the check and you know that they're not a lunatic, you and your team get together and you act, it's like matchmaking, right? A bit more personalised, a little bit more intentional than just your willy-nilly swipeys.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Yeah, absolutely. So we look at their profile and it's a combination of like what you read and then what you know from meeting them because some people, they might, you know, they both like walks on the beach but one person is very sophisticated and someone else is more laid back.
Starting point is 01:02:41 So you kind of know, oh okay. Ones in heels, ones in jandals. Yeah, totally. Yeah, heels on the beach. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no. Hon, no.. So you kind of know. Ones in heels, ones in jandals. Yeah, totally. Yeah, heels on the beach. Yeah. No. Hon, no. Hon, you've screwed up.
Starting point is 01:02:49 No. I love the soo-yo base. You're like the match, like, like, maths, you know, they get together, hang out in their room and they're like, here we've got Carl. Yeah. And here, Hailey.
Starting point is 01:03:00 What a match. Oh, absolutely. And we get really excited when someone's come through. Like, say we've got Paul. I mean like, you know what? Paul would be a great catch for Debra, you know? See, you feel like you really get to know the people when you match them. Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Starting point is 01:03:15 because you have people who are very vulnerable, you know? You jump on a call and suddenly, I know about your hip surgery, I know about your relationship with your children, about your ankle and toenails. I know he'd be the hip surgery, I reckon. Yeah, he's got bad dicky hip. Yeah, because he worked on the railway line.
Starting point is 01:03:29 But high gold. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, you do, you get to see, and you really get to know all the amazing things people have done too. So for me, it's actually quite cool. I get to chat to people who've had inspiring lives and yeah, you get to understand their past, their background, what makes them a great, basically a great catch.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I love this, it just feels like work must be a fun day for you. Do you know what I mean? Like you get to come into a room with, I imagine you've got a lovely team of people and you get to be, just talk about people, not in a gossipy way but be like wow this is the interesting qualities and. Oh totally yeah, it's, I mean, it's imagine the sort of the juiciest goss. Yes! You know?
Starting point is 01:04:07 And you're able to just really dive deep on that. And then it's also great when you get a lovely email from someone and they're like, I found my soulmate, which we got recently from a 73-year-old and an 80-year-old. Oh! So lucky they got that done, because you know, time's ticking. Time's ticking and death knocked it. You were like, guys, we've got to go quick on this one.
Starting point is 01:04:27 So what do you have a success rate? I mean, it's hard to measure, right? Because things can last for years and then fall to bits. And it's pretty fresh still, right? It's pretty fresh. The business is about 14 months old. So it's hard to say like, oh, we've got marriages and stuff like that,
Starting point is 01:04:41 but we've got a good amount of couples going strong and we've sent people on hundreds of dates and for us success is more about providing people with opportunities to meet amazing people because it's just so bloody hard. Is anyone on your team single because of these applications are coming in? Shotgun Barry, shotgun the doctor from Auckland. Oh man I'm going to go to Tomonanui with Barry. No, currently everyone on the team has taken, but it is interesting. So for instance, if I'm on a sales call with someone and I'm really talking it up and they're like,
Starting point is 01:05:16 you know what, you sounded like a real catch and my partners across the table being like, oi! Yeah, that's right. What if someone comes in, do you ever do like makeovers or kind of like remodels? If Paul comes in and, A remodel! A bloody villain, mate, it's a human. And you're just like,
Starting point is 01:05:31 we might need to get you some better clothes. Yeah, yeah, untuck the shirt on. Yeah, we do have heaps of stylists who we work with. I mean, you've gotta be delicate though. Like if someone comes on board, you don't wanna be like, you look terrible. We're gonna change you. No, but sometimes if someone's asking,
Starting point is 01:05:46 I'm not having that much success, then we can say, well, maybe you should wear your dentures or something like that. Maybe get rid of the mining boots, Vaughan. Get rid of the mining boots. He has, for the last two days, he hasn't worn them. Oh, I know guys, I've been wearing RMs. Yeah, good, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:58 So Vaughan, right, look at him, he's gorgeous, but he wears these working men's construction boots. Remember that guy, they were a handy bird construction boots. They're a great boot. They're a great boot. I can just do anything with those boots. But he's in the RMs now, so that's a lot nicer. Yeah, we took him from a 6 to an 8. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:10 Wow, that easy. Wow, thank you. So have you ever had someone apply and you're like, yes, you meet all the criteria and we'll bring you on board and really struggle to find anyone for them and you've realised that they're a loveless human being and destined to be alone for the rest of their life? I think it's more people come in with so many criteria. Yes, yes, yes. There's criteria and there's criteria.
Starting point is 01:06:34 So if someone said, look, I really need someone who makes me laugh. Sure, totally get that shared values, et cetera. But if someone comes in and they're like, he needs to be between 65 and 67, have a full head of hair, have money, be six foot five. Six foot five, totally. You gotta be realistic. Totally. No kids. Da da da da da.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Yeah, you gotta be realistic. I was just on your website, compatico.co.nz, where you can go to apply, cause not everyone gets in, right? It's sort of like the, by the way, we talk about Raya on here sometimes. Oh, the celebrity dating app, yeah. It's Raya on here sometimes. Oh, the celebrity dating app. It's Raya.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Raya? Oh, same. I've been sort of, same. Yeah, yeah, it's Raya. I don't know my own competitors. But it's a bit more elite, you know, you've got to sort of apply for it. And there just, there was a nice quote here from one of your customers, Compatico is a breath of fresh air I feel safe and cared about.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Isn't that nice? So, I mean, we put in so much effort. It's kind of like, kind of like having a personal trainer. Sort of, you know, we can't do the dating for you, that's on you, but we can give you all the tools, we can give you the encouragement, we can give you feedback on what's happening. So at the end of the day, would you touch base with them
Starting point is 01:07:39 and be like, how did it go? Yeah, absolutely. And sometimes it'll be one person's like, they were lovely, but they're moving a bit fast. And then we can be like, great, thanks for letting us know. And we it'll be one person's like, they were lovely, but you know, they're moving a bit fast. And then we can be like, great, thanks for letting us know. And we'll gently tell the other person, they like you, but just call your jets a little bit. And he's like, I'm 80, I don't have much.
Starting point is 01:07:55 My jets are too cool for anything. Oh my God, well, at least this excites me. I like it. And I know lots of friends of mine who have been on the apps for years. And I just hate them. As I say, trudging through the mark and hate it. That's a little bit more of a personalised experience.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Now after years, if you're not finding someone on the apps, you probably need to reflect. Looking at Maria. Mate, you're the common denominator in this problematic love life that you seem to be flailing in. Wow, compatico.co.nz. If you're looking for love, Elise and her team can help you find it.

It doesn't look anything like it. I've prepared, I'm not here for the next couple of days, I've prepared two factor of the days for you two. Oh thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:09:09 We shall do them in your honour. Much like food, here's some I prepared earlier. Okay. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I should be doing stand up comedy on stage in front of thousands of people. Next year, International Comedy Festival, Vaughan Smith is the laugh man.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. And you know when to laugh, because it's when I'm laughing. Yeah Vaughan Smith is the laugh man! Ah! And you know when to laugh because it's when I'm laughing. Yeah, you have to lead the laugh. I lead the laugh. Yeah. Okay, today, why is it called a peanut? It's nothing like a pea. Because they grow, that's a legume, isn't it, a peanut?
Starting point is 01:09:37 God damn, you're a clever boy. I'm a clever boy. That was coming up. Yeah. That was coming up. Why is it called a peanut? The word peanut comes from the combined pea and nut. And it is neither a combined pea and nut.
Starting point is 01:09:45 And it is neither a pea nor a nut. And it grows on the ground, like on a plant, like it grows underground on the roots. Yes, that's right. It's on the ground. So it's called a peanut because, it's not because it's the size of a pea, it's because it grows in a pod, like a pea does.
Starting point is 01:10:01 It does. Peanuts grow inside a pod. When you go to India they sell them like that and you just get bags of them you just shell them eat them. Sometimes bars have them. Oh my god yes you just throw the shells on the floor. Yep. Okay if we're talking about de-shelling in a bar and eating it nothing beats a pistachio. Yum. You've got to work for that pistachio. Yum. In the mouth. Yeah. Pistachio ice cream. Yeah yum, had a lot of that in Italy. Pistachio is like the rage, the flavor of the moment, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:10:28 Pistachio, yeah. Yeah, it's actually Pistachio as well, by the way. I've just returned from Italy. Anyway, don't worry about it. Pistachio. It's Pistachio. Bongino. Bongino.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Bongino. So, and nut comes from the fact that it's not like taste and texture, but it is not a nut. As Fletch has pointed out. It's a legume. It's a legume. That legumesumes because they grow underground and nuts grow on trees. Yeah. They belong to the same family as peas, beans and lentils. Lentils by the way, take a running leap. Oh no, you know the worst? Chickpeas.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Unless they're mule-ed up into a hummus or something. What about crispy chickpeas in a nice salad bowl? No. You've got to wash the crisp, you've got to wash the chickpeas. Yeah, you do. Don't give them a hard wash, otherwise they taste like you're eating a crayon. They do. They are a bit crayon-esque.
Starting point is 01:11:12 They are very crayon-esque. True nuts like walnuts, chestnuts and stuff, they're hard shell, they grow above the ground and they don't split open naturally, but the peanut will if you leave it. Other bonus facts. Okay. Other names for peanuts.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Bonus facts. In British, English and also in Africa Other names for peanuts. Bonus facts. In British English and also in Africa, they are known as ground nuts. Yep. Goober peas is what they were called in the Southern US. That's what I got in front of me, a couple of goober peas. Goober peas.
Starting point is 01:11:35 You wanna have some goober peas? No, goober peas. Monkey nuts in the UK, when they're still in their shell, they're called monkey nuts because they look like monkey's nuts. Monkey's testicles. And earth nuts. It's the old English name for them, but they don't call them that anymore. Anyone call them D's nuts?
Starting point is 01:11:49 New Zealand International Comedy Festival, Hayley Sproul and Vaughan Smith in The Laugh Man. Laugh when we laugh. Laugh when we laugh. Laugh when we laugh. The comedy show Laugh When I Laugh. Laugh When I Laugh. That's a great one.
Starting point is 01:12:03 So today's fact of the day for foods named after other foods that are nothing like is a peanut is not a pea or a nut, but it does come in a pod like a pea does and it has a nut-like texture. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Massive box. Gifted, I feel we, ehh. The kind of box you just put,
Starting point is 01:12:46 if you had a dairy would be on the counter. Yeah. Grab an almond gold. Yeah. Almond gold, our peanut slab of choice. Yeah, and we were gifted this box. So what we did is we made like Jenga blocks, a tower in the back of our locker.
Starting point is 01:12:59 And when we felt like one, we'd just go nibble on one. And someone would feel, twinkle in the eye would come across us. Sometimes we'd get one and split it between three. Yeah, that's right. Sometimes we would have three each. Yeah, sometimes we'd do three whole ones to ourselves. Now before holidays, I would say there would've been
Starting point is 01:13:15 25 left. Yeah, yeah, totally. Like that's how many we had, we had a whole box. Yeah, yeah, totally. And just then I said, that's what I feel like, I won an Arm in Gold, ran it past my friend Vaughan. Vaughan was like, I'll join you on the Arm in Gold. Yeah, we would have done a cheers.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Yeah. We unwrap it, you cheers. Fletch would have said, no, no, no. And then he would have said, bring me up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, you does it every time. I'm in a corner. I'm in a corner. I'm trying to be good.
Starting point is 01:13:37 I'll like nobody else. We'll give him a corner. So I walk over, trot, trot, trot, me. Do, do, do, do, mood increasing, mood increasing. Right, cause I'm about to have an Arm in Gold. As you got closer to the locker. Yeah, yeah, do, do, do, do, mood increasing, mood increasing, right? Because I'm about to have an almond gold. As you got closer to the locker. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:48 Closer to an almond gold. Open up the locker. Not a single almond gold in sight. We've been thiefed. We've been thiefed. Now I will say I turned around immediately and I looked at producers Carwin and Shannon who would always say, but Shannon in particular, great manners would say, might I please? Might I please have an almond gold?
Starting point is 01:14:04 And we would say girls you have at. And now I will say that final week of the show, I think we had about three each. We almost had one a day, but we always checked and we got cautious at a point in coming, said let's count, and it was about 25 left. Yeah, okay. Before holidays, it was 25. Before holidays, we did not deplete you. Yeah, so we went away for two weeks, we've come back, every single one.
Starting point is 01:14:24 And our personal private locker has been stolen. I will say the lock wasn't working, so we weren't locking it. It was unlocked, but that is not the point! Very clearly, it's Fletch Ford and Hayley's personal locker. Now we need to figure out who's done this. This is a whodunit. This is straight to HR.
Starting point is 01:14:39 And I won't rest until every single one is replaced. 25 you say say you counted them do you know who I can do it's Ross boss I don't think he's got a sweet tooth yeah but he came in before if we had like Lesnacks in there they'd be all gone he would have taken he's more of a Lesnack guy okay so messages in someone says it was Georgia did she talk about this while we were away? Where is she? No, he'd be saying, Georgia get in here. Georgia, get in here now.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Georgia, I don't think you're a good girl. Get in here now. I don't think you're a good girl. Ironically wearing a detective coat. Yeah, wearing a detective coat today. Ah yeah, to throw us off the stage. Georgia. Excuse me, you know I would not.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Also, who is eating 20 of them? One almond gold's enough, thank you. Yeah, but this is over the course of two weeks since we've ever been here. Also, she's been living on the white chocolate cream eggs you got her. I know. Which would have hurt. And I wouldn white chocolate cream eggs you got her, I know. Which would have hurt this women half.
Starting point is 01:15:26 And I wouldn't do this to you after you bring them all the way back and have to go through declaration at the airport, would I? Thank you, thank you. Were you aware of the almond gold stack that we had in our locker? I actually was, because I remember you offered them to me a few times,
Starting point is 01:15:36 I was always like, nah, nah. They're not really my cup of tea. Did you see anybody in the last few weeks? Because our locker is eye level from your studio. It is, to be fair, might have been distracted a couple of days catching up on Love Island, so it wasn't watching. Wait, so you're, when you're on your way.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Who asked you you were watching Love Island? No one, no one. Who asked you you were watching Love Island? No one, so that's me being sneaky, out of myself, whatever. Yeah, okay. While she's in the workplace, while she's on her entertaining New Zealand. I was behind, I'm trying to keep up with the play.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Is that Pixie, is Pixie in the office right now? No, Pixie's vegan. So? Oh, you're lucky Pixie! Chocolate's vegan! Chocolate's got no meat in it! Chocolate's got milk in it, you stupid idiot! You're weirdo!
Starting point is 01:16:17 There's no milk in chocolate. There's no mince in chocolate. The thing that makes the milk is made of mince. Vegan, it's got milk in it. If it was dark chocolate, that's another story. It wasn't with milk chocolate. There's no chops in chocolate. Lucky pixie.
Starting point is 01:16:28 There's no tricking drumsticks in there. No, Gary's looking. Have you seen a scary... Gary. He's just ripped the fingers. He's saying not him. And I see Caitlin shrunk in her seat. I'll also say pretty rough to blame
Starting point is 01:16:40 the only brown guy in the office. Yeah, actually we shouldn't do that. I'll distance myself from him. I'd say that wasn't me. Even if he did it, I don't think we can't do that. I'll distance myself from him. I'd say, that wasn't me. Even if he did it, I don't think we can say he did. I'd just almost say, hey look, let's call it even. Yeah. So my people had a lot of farmland, a lot of farmland.
Starting point is 01:16:54 I do see Caitlin shrunk in her seat. Anyone else see that? Hey Caitlin, Caitlin, where have you gone? Did you take the almond gobs? She put her hand over her mouth. Haul her in here right now. Kaitlyn get in here please. Get in here right now. Haul her in!
Starting point is 01:17:08 Quick smart. Quick smart. She looks guilty. AF, I'll say it. Oh I don't want to be one of these accusing people but... You're an ARC, hey Georgia is definitely an ARC at school. She's a big ARC. Georgia is not a nightline school!
Starting point is 01:17:19 You're a big ARC at school. Alright, Kaitlyn's coming in. Kaitlyn. Oh she's avoiding eye contact. I'm really sick. She's really sick. Because she ate too much chocolate. Have you got a sore tummy? I wish I did. I didn't really come in here. For the last two weeks where have you been? I've been grinding away at my desk. Have you? Have you eaten an almond gold in the last two weeks? No I wish. I don't know you guys have snacks in here.
Starting point is 01:17:47 That was a bad lie. That was shit. That's why we never get invited. We're sort of separate with the others. Eye contact starting again. She's digging a hole. She's digging a hole. Do you know who has taken our chocolate?
Starting point is 01:17:59 Cause we blame Georgia. She's blaming you. Who are you blaming? Are you blaming me? No, I just said you were slashing. I just threw Georgia under the bus I actually love solving crime you're a white female yeah you love true crime podcasts so we don't think it's Gary oh is this a pink panther yeah crime has been committed something's been stolen
Starting point is 01:18:22 oh okay more messages in. Okay. Georgia told us she did it, and she said she'll replace them. That's a stitch up. Who is texting this? Someone else said- Brooke text that in, didn't she?
Starting point is 01:18:35 We'll get Brooke in here. Brooke's not here. Someone else said, this has Maddie McLean written all over it from hits. No. He's crossed enemy lines. Do we let him in that often? Did he post any record runs on Strava over the last two weeks?
Starting point is 01:18:47 Because that's what's feeding us run chocolate powered runs. Chocolate powered runs. Well the investigation continues. The investigation continues, I'm not here for it. But this is disgusting behaviour in the workplace. Do you know what we should do? Let's get some chocolate bars and put poison in them. Rat poison.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Needles. Needles and rat poison. Needles. Whoever dies. But then I'll forget that I put needles and rat poison in them. And I'll be like, oh, should we have an arm and go? Yeah. Should we have an arm and go?
Starting point is 01:19:13 No, we're gonna put them on that woman, that mushroom murderer. You put it on a different coloured plate. Oh. Do you reckon we should get a nanny cam, like a little button, and put it in our locker from now on? Yeah. No, because that'll catch everything that HR will see. Mmm.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Oh, we can't be here now. Oh, that'll catch the things you guys don't want to see. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I counted 79 all rights today. Fletcher, but that's a new personal record. Oh, f*** off. How many of those did you count?
Starting point is 01:19:37 Oh, yeah. 79 of those too. All right. Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review. Oh, f*** off. Ha ha ha ha.
