Starting point is 00:00:00 From the ZDM Podcast Network This is Fleshwood and Haley's Big Pod Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse The Biggest Brands at the lowest prices Good morning all you Lotto Loses Hey Lotto Loses Some fellow Lotto losers Fellow Lotto losers
Starting point is 00:00:16 I got I had a ticket I obviously haven't won have I You haven't won Mum and Dad had one I've got one right here When can you scan them? 630 Okay
Starting point is 00:00:24 I mean I did anybody win the other ones I'd take a first divvy But probably 12 people won it or some shit I wasn't, yeah, I wasn't paying attention. So now it's must win. $55 million. Is that how many people purchase tickets for this latest one? Like, people are just spending so much money.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Well, we're up $10 million in one pop-a-roo. Now, it doesn't usually go up, $10 million in one pop. And I think I heard yesterday, one in three New Zealanders bought a lot of ticket, which is insane given the amount of babies there are. So that is their first. So that is the first time, that'll be the highest, 55. It's been four times at 50.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Wow. Has it? Yep. Okay, sorry, it's the fourth time. It's past 50. Okay, how many, does it say in that article how many people won first division? Because that's how they split it, right? Must win. So if no one wins Powerball, it gets split amongst First Division.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Yeah, and I'll take it. I'll take a little. So if there's, say, there's, because last week was it, there was six winners, and they all won 166,000? So Lott have said the 350 million must have prized rules that have previously been held were won by multiple winners so there's a chance that might happen again
Starting point is 00:01:37 this time too. So regardless of how many people win on Saturday they know that they're going to sell a shit ton of tickets. We just need to get it out of the way and it will move on with our lives. That's my feeling. They say the 55 million figure has been made possible by strong
Starting point is 00:01:53 forecasted ticket sales. No shit. No shit. I'll be giving me a couple, I reckon, and that's it. Then I'm tapping out. Yeah, and they do remind people to spend from their budget. Like they say, a ticket can be bought for $6, which gives you four lines in the draw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all you need.
Starting point is 00:02:08 You just need one. I mean, how many tickets have we been buying for the last few months and not winning anything? No, exactly. So, yeah, play responsibly. We've got to have such a nice night out with the money that three of us have put in to the lot in the last couple of weeks. Somebody won strike last night, 200,000. See, that would be lovely, but... Yeah, it'd be lovely, but...
Starting point is 00:02:26 drop in the pond It's 200 grand Coming up on the show Vaughn you've got the top six for us Yeah I do Top six ways that Auckland City could have saved money On Christmas decorations
Starting point is 00:02:40 Well people love winching about this Yeah I know people do love winching about it $300,000 spent Well everyone winches that the city Doesn't look good enough And then everyone winches about this And everyone winses about that It brings so much joy
Starting point is 00:02:51 Well they winch about that big giant Christmas tree And that looked amazing last year And you know those Christmas butt plugs? Yeah, yeah, the butt plugs. Remember the Christmas butt plugs? Yes, money well spent. God, they were lovely. I've always said that.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Money well spent. It must have been a huge butt though. Oh my God. Those things were like three metres tall. My mum had a really great afternoon at the shops yesterday and ended up spending $0. Oh. And coming out like a bandit.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I'll tell you how she did it next. The Fletch morning, Haley, Big Pod. If you missed it, my parents have moved in with me, and I'll tell you what. So far, 10 out of 10 experience recommended to everyone. Wow, okay. Oh, it's just brilliant.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Well, because everything's done for you, isn't it? Oh, my God. Everything, like, it's just lovely to come home and things are... Yeah. Have you done washing in the last few weeks? Haven't touched it. I went to put my gym gear in the washing basket and it's just empty. Constantly empty, not even sheets in there.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Right. You know how sometimes you put sheets in your washing basket and then you're like, I can't be bothered doing those you sort of fish through to get your clothes out. Yeah. I experienced a washing basket full of clothes and I came in and they were gone. and I immediately was like,
Starting point is 00:03:55 girls, where are these clothes? Then they'd just dump them out. They'd put their own clothes away. I didn't even ask. Wow. I'm amazing. I know. Capable sounds sufficient.
Starting point is 00:04:04 We love it. Capable young ladies. Meanwhile, this hot mess over there. I'm not coming less capable. I am. It's so nice. I'm raising capable, independent young woman and you're like really going the opposite direction.
Starting point is 00:04:17 You're in reverse. There's like banana bread every day. But I would be the same if Kristen lived with me. I would let the queen of laundry do a thing. You're not going to let this banana bread thing and all this baking. It's not going to end well. This isn't going to end well. I've never bought, I didn't ever buy ice cream.
Starting point is 00:04:32 There's two tubs in my freezer at the moment. So, of course, yesterday, after I made a salad for dinner, I was like, well, I could have some of that? It was orange hot chip. Wait, what I'm supposed to get? This is going to come to your head. Oh, I know. Talk about the bloody 4 p.m. wines as well.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Anyway, so part of what my mum's been helping me with is, and I've mentioned this a lot, is I've had bags and bags and bags of clothes in the garage. and there's just too many clothes and stuff I've been worn for years stuff haven't fit for like five to six years and what my mum has been doing slowly but surely has been washing it all hanging it up and basically like
Starting point is 00:05:05 like a dog who pissed on the carpet rubbing my nose in it and being like sorted out right? Yeah. So yesterday was my first attempt at pulling stuff out and I just started I just once you know like I'm very attached to clothes but once I started I couldn't stop I was like nah no gone done done
Starting point is 00:05:21 I showed you guys the videos right there was mountains of clothing that I'm going to get rid of and sell and donate and whatnot. But two sets of women made out like bandits out of this. One was my mum who shopped my wardrobe. Like there was stuff in there that I was like, it doesn't suit me,
Starting point is 00:05:37 it's new, it's nice, but blah, blah, blah. And she'd just go shopping. She's putting it on. She's parading around, going and doing little parades for my dad. Be like, where there's Craig? Craigie baby, as she calls him. And dad would be like, oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Where'd you get that? The wardrobe. For free. I just got this for free. He'd be like, how much was that? Free, Dad. But don't ask Kaylee how much it was. Don't think about it.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So Patsy's got some quite high-end labels, I'm imagining. She does. Oh, she's a moochie gal. She's a lot of the New Zealand designer. Did you put Patsy to work, like, selling them? That's the next step, and we've got a plan. Okay, cool. Is she going to take a commit?
Starting point is 00:06:14 She's pretty good at that sort of thing. She's very good at that thing. She loves a trade me. Stay tuned for the plan, how I'm going to actually get some money back out of these clothes, and most of which I've never worn. But it's almost like if you went to the start, though, where it all starts. I'd have much more money.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Like, you just don't buy. So sort of like think before you buy. Yeah, yeah. See those things on the front of her? Titties. Oh, yeah. They negate that. I believe the forethought.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Oh, I don't really need this right now. My tits go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. And then the other thing was I went through a phase of buying colorful clothing. And that's just not really for me. all blue today and I'm feeling a little bit out of sorts.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I love a mostly black wardrobe and so I was pulling out these colourful dresses and everything that I was like, I just don't think this is for me and I was like, do you know who would love this? Carwin and Shannon. I brought them a second sack delivery of like quite cool clothes. I'm excited. Were they cool actually? They haven't fished through them yet.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yeah, we've been resisting but. Well, you know, we've been working. Yeah, they have been working. Wow, there was a 20 minute goss session. I don't know if we'd call that work. The sifting time. Okay, yeah, right. But the Gossesh took all five of us.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Let's not separate us from the Gossian. It was a rich vein. Everybody needed a pickax. I'm excited, though, for these new clothes because you have gifted them to us, which is nice. But this now gives me free grain. Sorry, no. Imagine.
Starting point is 00:07:38 They're yours. But now if I wear a new dresser on my partner, I'll be like, oh, it's one of Haley's. But if I buy you stuff, Haley gave us lots of stuff, Haley's so generous. You can go shopping now. Yeah, exactly. And I'll be like half.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I thought we weren't spending money on clothes at the moment. No, no, no. is just one of Haley's. And I can see the tag. You'd be like, yeah, it was new. She's reckless. In there, there's everything from New Zealand designer too. I'll say there's a couple of ANCO numbers in there.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Hey, listen. But there's like a nice, like, you know. But Haley's cut all the labels off, so now you have to guess which one's ANCO and which one's not. Country Road or ANCO, we'll never know. We'll have that, and there's more where that came from. And honestly, I will say, it's a good, I felt lighter yesterday. I think we could all do this at, like a spring clean. Yeah, whether you've, like me and you've got,
Starting point is 00:08:22 an embarrassment of clothing or you just need it just or you've just got five of the same t-shirts like me exactly you know you can just organize pick your top free donate get them away share with your friends that you could give some of your manc-eal t-shirts
Starting point is 00:08:36 to Vaughn he'll wear anything he's literally wearing a promotional free t-shirt today sometimes you wears pajamas it's green it brings out my eyes and it um is my favorite whiskey brains yeah no but you've also been known to wear your pajama shirt to work and also your t-shirt I actually wore my pajama shirt to a filming this week
Starting point is 00:08:52 And they said, that's a lovely t-shirt. And then did they see the Wallace Cotton Sleep Tag? No, they didn't. I had it tucked in. Good. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Forne and Haley. There's a rise in vino therapy.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And this is on the back of the fact that Justin and Haley Bieber apparently quite like this. Now, I know that your ears pricked up. Yeah. Because the... Is it vino or is it vino? Vino. Vino. Vino?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Vino. Vino. Vino? Vino? Well, it involves immersing the body and baths infused with red grape skins, seeds and extracts. So wine? The by-products of wine production, but no alcohol. You've lost me. You lost me. What you did is you had me and then you lost me. No, but you're getting all the good bits. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the antioxidants. So apparently, and this happens all over the world, apparently in Argentina,
Starting point is 00:09:47 but there are some really exclusive, like, luxury hotels and spas that do this. like in the big American cities like you can head north of New York and say in these places and apparently that's what Haley and Justin Bieber do and so a journalist has done this 700 US dollars just I mean how many bottles of
Starting point is 00:10:09 how many bottles of like cheap Corbans your cask country red I don't fancy three liters last time I bought country cask it was like 21 bucks for a cask Really?
Starting point is 00:10:22 And that's three liters. How many liters in a bath? So many. Oh. Well, you think a 200-liter drum. Also, you're going to come out to be at least 200 litres. Do you come out, read? Like, do you come out a bit, but stained.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Bit stained? And you know, I... Well, that's what you do. When you come out stained and red wine, you have a bath and white wine to remove the red wine. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Just like a carpet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Or a soda water bath. Prosecco, like, that's my wine of choice. I'd like that. The fizz would be lighter. So they, they, they sew. for 45 minutes in this wine buy product. At what temperature? I think it's just room temperature.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I don't think they heated up. It's not mould. It would need to be a spa. It's not marred. With honey. I'd want it 30, you know, 38, 39, your spa. What temperature do you run your spa at? At the moment, 38.48.45. Okay. Because it's been a bit hot.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah. But I don't know if they're heated. They don't sound like they're heated. But you do a massage and you do everything else. So I'm looking, there's, you know, So in Auckland that we're with the rooftop bar. Oh, yeah? That the spa there at So Hotel in Auckland offers the water lily vino therapy. Oh, okay. There's a theravine somewhere else in the country.
Starting point is 00:11:37 There's a few places in New Zealand if you want to do it. Surely Onsen fill up one of the hot pools with, yeah, casque wine.

Starting point is 00:14:30 I don't remember why. I remember reading an article in, like, a Cleo or a Dolly, and it was an interview with the girl that used to play Minnie on Shortland Street. So I'm going back here. Remember Minnie Crozier? Alan Crozier's daughter, Minnie Crozier. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:14:47 She was a bit of a sexual awakening for a young form smith. And I think we're of a similar era. Minnie. I forgot about Minnie. Katrina Devine. Yes. Where's she at? Is she on the gram? Katrina Devine?
Starting point is 00:14:59 No, listen. Well, she's probably hiding after that comment you just made about it. I think everybody had a... That's actually a great phone and topic. Who on Shorland Street was your sexual awakening? It was obviously Nick, wasn't it? I'm clicking... I'm clicking Garsohn, Garsohn.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Did you hear my great idea for a phone and topic? Who on Shorten Street was your sexual awakening? That's good stuff, like. Martin Henderson. A hundred percent. Everybody had one. There was a generation since 1992, March 25th. We should do, who is your sexual awakening on home and away?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Should we get, um... Yes, Angel. Get Claire Chittam. Yeah. Big sexual awakening. Because she had big sexual awakening energy. We love Claire Chichot. It was the most unbelievable part about that was Claire Chittam's character was from Taranaki.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Excuse me. They don't look like that from them. So, look at me. Oh, my God, okay. I am looking. Tell me when. Here's a photo of Minnie Crozier, like, back in the sexual awakening does. I see it.

Starting point is 00:17:09 Pimpels and she said Her superpower was not touching them She lets them dry out And they've gone on a day I know Oh no who can do that No one's doing that No one's doing that.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Well, 86% of people squeeze them. 14% of people leave them. This is going to have to be quick. I do apologize. We got slightly distracted with Katrina Devine. She's hot. Asia said, I don't have the level of self-control required not to squeeze the pimple. It's hard enough not squeezing the ones that small children get because that's frowned upon.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Like babies? Are you talking about baby acne? Asia. Helen said, pimple patch. That's the new thing. Yeah, I see a lot of people using these. They do suck it out. They meant to suck out.

Starting point is 00:18:10 Said, who has enough self-control to leave a pimpler line? I will attack that sucker until it's one big, giant, ugly scam. I'll attack it so it. So it's worse. It scars me for life. Yeah, way worse. I want rivets in my face. Way worse.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Well, Monise, I think that real sort of like reflection upon your inability to not make it a big, giant mess will win you today's McCaffee voucher. A $50. A $50. A $50. My girlfriend is an actual pest, says Lucy, with this. We can be mid-quit-quit-s-s-s-sering. And then we'll do a... You can't pop a pimple mid-sizzer.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So technically, Jesus Christ, I can't believe, are we doing a podcast or is this live radio? No, this is live radio right now. He was the naughty one. He was the naughty one. He was the naughty one.
Starting point is 00:18:56 By the way, when you are scissoring and starts... It's in the third drawdown. They're in the third drawdown. Scissors. When you are scissoring and start squeezing, it technically becomes tweezering. Yeah, it is, tweezering. We're tweezering now.
Starting point is 00:19:06 We're tweezering now. Put that in Urban Dictionary. The urban dictionary. Tweezering. We could be mid-coitus and I can feel her hand slowed over one of my, over my back or face, and she continues to brush past it. Now I just stop and let her pop it and then continue with the fun cuddles.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Fun cuddles. See, that would be a better way of saying that. This has been a whole break, man. I've been reintroducing a treated divine. And now I'm learning that this happens mid- yes. I've watched many documentaries featuring these many sort of
Starting point is 00:19:38 12-minute sort of brief. And that never happens. Never happened. Yeah, well, it's a real line. It shows me that my research isn't done. How, what do you do when you get a pimple? Is that I sell a little poll and 86% of you said, The ZN Podcast Network Play ZN's FlashWorn and Haley Everyone online is looking for screen relief Which in itself is an ironic statement
Starting point is 00:19:58 Being on TikTok being like, I need to get off my phone This is a great little list here from Cosmopolitan whom I love Of how to make your life more analogue To get off your screens Yep, love this First one, invest in a digital point and shoot camera Which in itself has become more trendy Oh, a digital, yes.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Like a digital. Just get your little Sony Cybershot. Get out there, take your photos and stuff, because then you're not holding up your phone. And one of those moves where it makes you feel old, I was telling the girls about how the first digital cameras could hold with about 10 or 11 pictures. So you had to pick your 10 or 11.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah. And then plug it into a computer and get them off. And then clear it. And they were like, I beg your pardon? Yeah. Really. There's tens of thousands of photos on this little phone of mine. I know.
Starting point is 00:20:44 It's really hard, like it's. Somewhere. Lugging your desktop PC around, you know, the pyramids. To quickly upload. To quickly upload. To quickly upload 10 photos. I know. And then, yep.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But even your little, you know, disposable. Excuse me, Jafar. Jafar. Is there somewhere I could plug in my HP desktop? Yeah, yeah. I've just taken so many photos on this tour. I need to. I want to take more.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Or even the Sony Cybershots that everyone had. You'd only have, what, 50 or 100 photos on some of them? The Sony Shibos shot with the round end. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah. And you could get bigger and, because that were so expensive. It was all about the size of the card that you had in there, right? And you just turn your photo caller down to low so you could crank more photos.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yeah, that's right. And then the batteries would run out because it ran on double A's. How insane was that? Oh, no, my cyber shop, maybe I'm a little bit younger than you. Mine had the little slide-out battery that you'd put on a... Oh, must be nice. Yeah. It was nice.
Starting point is 00:21:32 So the idea is you're leaving your phone at home, but you can go out and if you need to take photos. If you still want to take photos, you can take some photos. Yeah. The next one, and I've done this this year after I slept in that morning, got an alarm clock. Yes. It's great because then your first thing you do is not pick up because people are having their alarms on their phones hitting off and then being like, well, it's in my hand now.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Now I better just check all the notifications on this. I'll go on the apps. I'll do this as this. If you get an alarm clock, boom boom, boom, turn it off, get up, start your day, not on your phone. Someone said have a home computer, not a laptop, like a set-up actual... I have that, yeah, I've got one of those. But you also have an iPad and a phone. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:22:10 But so then you kind of allocate your little corner of your home where the internet lives. And then the internet's not on your lounge and in front of the TV and all that kind of stuff. We're making it too easy. It's good.

Starting point is 00:31:43 One of the best albums of the year. So she is going to be leading Alice in Wonderland, the musical that Universal is doing, playing, obviously, the Mad Hat, no, she's playing Alice. And the people who know Sabrina Carpenter know that as a teenager, she had her sweet 16, Alice in Wonderland themed. Oh, wow. She is like a diehard fan. It's kind of like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Revo with The Wicked Stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:08 right? Why are you laughing and me, Cohen? You were just choking on that. I was choking on Ariette and loving her dream. So Sabrina Carpenter has long been a fan of Alice in Wonderland. This is going to be a film that is being made and she's playing Alice. It's going to be incredible.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Obviously, it's going to be sung and beautiful Sabrina as Alice. It's real exciting as well because she was on Broadway for mean girls but only got to perform for three days because COVID happened. So I feel like she gets to relive kind of this, it's not Broadway, obviously, but this theatre girl. moment. Right. Wow. So she was on Broadway before she became like a big thing. Yeah. Well she's been a big thing
Starting point is 00:32:45 for a long time. She's a Disney. She's a Disney girl. Yeah, right. She had a few hit singles and albums in like 2016-ish. But yeah, she played Katie Heeran on in 2020, I guess, right before the big lockdown. Mickey Mouse must watch her concerts now and just feel like. Oh boy! Oh boy!
Starting point is 00:33:01 What do you mean? Have you ever tried this one? Goof me! You've got to see this. Oh my God. Minnie walks in. What's you watching me? Mickey! I want buttoned my dungarees. So this is going to be on Netflix. It's done through Netflix and Universal.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Okay. So it involves people who were involved in Wicked. Yes. Mark Platt produced Broadway and screen productions of Wicked. It's also got people involved in Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. So it's going to be well done. It's going to be exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Okay. Because the last Alice in Wonderland, which they didn't do a musical of, was Johnny Depp. It was a billion-dollar grossing live action version with Tim Burton. Wow, okay. Yeah, it was great. A billion dollars. That was Johnny Deppers the Mad Hatter, had a right. Hall-Lan-Botland-Bott-Cardt as the Queen of Hearts.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Would have been something. Yeah, she was always in a Tim Burton. What's his name, Matt Lucas. He was twiddledum and twiddled-d-d-D. But now this is, I mean, this is great for her because she's so, like, playful and cool. Sometime end of next year or the year after? It'll be like a while away, I imagine. These musicals take years.
Starting point is 00:34:07 But also, like, is this going to be a more. adult version because Sabrina is you know a little stuff No it's Alice in Wonderland She needs to tuck her horniness away No she's not going I reckon she's going to bring it to the front of centre
Starting point is 00:34:18 Play ZEMS fleshhorn and Haley We were doing a spin class yesterday and I wasn't actually taking the spin class I wasn't the instructor I did put up a video It was a virtual class where you've got to wait for the video screen to come on And so Haley and I were early
Starting point is 00:34:34 So we pretended Haley was taking the class I'll tell you what I it's the stage I didn't know that I want it. You know what I mean? I assumed you wanted every stage. Yeah, I know. I didn't know. Every time you see any sort of stage, you're like, I can see myself on that stage. I sort of like float towards it. Because it's all my story on Instagram
Starting point is 00:34:50 and I had so many messages saying I'd actually do a cycle class that Haley instructed. I even heard from some of the lovely Les Mills instructors themselves saying pretty accurate, pretty good. Yeah, Haley was like, put your seat up here. All right, we swing that leg over, let's get pump and flush out the legs. Anyway, so the spin class started and so far it was just Fletch and I in the room and I was like great, private class. Great, because when it's
Starting point is 00:35:12 just Haley and I in a giant room we get a bit silly. You get a bit silly. We get a bit silly. We hoot and holler. Yeah. And then this fella comes in. A fella you say? Like about four minutes in? Five minutes in. He'd missed the warm up and we're in track one and he jumps on the bike and we're all good and he was far
Starting point is 00:35:28 enough away from us, you know, didn't cramp our style. But then we're like hooning a really hard track and Fletch just looks over and then looks at me And we noticed that he's just taken a phone call because you can kind of hear his voice mumbling away over the music. Wait, so the class has started.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Well started. We're mid-bloody. Whereabouts are you? Yeah. And the music's loud. The music's pumping. Is he air buds? Airbuds.
Starting point is 00:35:56 He's air buds. He's taking a call. He's coming to the class. He's done this. He's seen he's had a call. He's put in his headphones. Well, we can hear him. And he finishes his whatever is business call or whatever it was
Starting point is 00:36:07 and then just goes back to the class. I saw him, you know what? Just threw his headphones on the floor in front of the bike. Yeah, right. But he'd come into the class on the call, set up the bike, started it, and was like four or five minutes on the bike taking this call. Do you know what this sounds to me?
Starting point is 00:36:20 Like, you got yourself a mover and a shaker. We've got a mover and a shaker. You got a hustler. We've got a real estate agent that's got to close that deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, take the call. It was a bit odd that he took a call there. And I want to know this morning from our lovely listeners, when couldn't you believe someone took a call?
Starting point is 00:36:35 Maybe it was a location thing. Like I remember performing in India And then people in the theatre would just They take calls all the time They wouldn't pause And they just have a full-blown conversation What's seated in the middle of the audience During the middle of a theatre show
Starting point is 00:36:48 Or would they leave and get up No no no no no no no They just have their conversation then and there And then they'd hang up and carry up with their day That is wild So bizarre Terrible etiquette Or maybe it was in the middle of like
Starting point is 00:36:58 A deep chat What like a breakup or The reason I'm leaving you And you're like oh I'll hear that in a second I'm just getting a call Hello. Because it's a client or a work call, you have to take it.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Or in the middle of hanky-panky. Oh, yeah, that's, you don't, don't answer. No, don't answer. Just call them back. Just call them back. Because a lot of places you go now, there are signs like, you know, when you go to give blood or, you know, get your blood tears. Put your phone away.

And you're on the, people are on the phone. I know. It's outrageous. I always, if I'm on a call and do it in buying.

Starting point is 00:38:45 Oh, Jesus. Oh, no, we're doing both at the same time. So we're just ripping, ripping. Do you mute the team's call, though, just in case there's a little...

Starting point is 00:46:28 and not everything just gets rammed in the dishwasher anymore. The dishwasher is for plates, the dishwasher is for plates, the dishwasher is for cutlery. The dishwasher is not for sharp knives. It is not for wooden shopping blocks. It is not for anything wood involved. Someone. Somebody put my non-stick fry pan in the dishwasher.
Starting point is 00:46:43 There's no need for it. That just needs a wipe. Yeah, I know. That needs a wipe with some hot soapy water. Don't you scrub it either. They were told. I made, last night I made sidebar. If I may.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Hell, you know, for time. We've got time. Side any, mate. I made sesame chicken last night. Yeah, we got a five day? Do I have I got a photo. What's sesame chicken was chicken, chicken with sesame seeds.
Starting point is 00:47:04 But like sesame oil. Oh, that looks so good. It slats so hard. Put some green onions on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh no, sorry, I didn't, I didn't chucked the green onions because I like a chunky green onion.

Starting point is 00:47:19 I'll get the caraget and the sesame chicken. Yeah. Can I get katsu and mayo? I'm going to do orange chicken next, which is a slight variation on the sesame chicken because, you know, I, big harder James loves orange chicken. I want to wear his heart. Panda Express in America. Every time. P.F trying orange chicken if you're in America.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Orange chicken slaps. So anyway, I made that. And so there was a lot of dishes, big pans, because I had a deep fry. That was wild deep frying at home. What am I? A 1980s housewife? What are you made of money?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Did you get one of this big glog, glug, glug, glug. Do you know what I did afterwards? I let it cool and I glug glugged it back in because it will only ever be used for deep frying. Yeah, that's fine. And I know it was one of the bad oils. You know, you tell me it was one of the bad oils. Oh, who cares?
Starting point is 00:47:56 What do you do it? Yeah, I'm deep frying chicken, man. I'm not exactly worried about. It's a bad oil. Oh, God, yum. So, I'm doing the dishes, and I watch goes on my phone, guys. Wait, is there any leftover? Do you bring any leftovers in?
Starting point is 00:48:10 I didn't bring it in, but I do have leftovers for lunch today. Just for you. Yeah. Kind of feels rude that you tell your friends. No, while we'll do a dinner and I'll totally make the chicken again, because now that I've done it once. Can we do a potluck? Yeah, this will be my potlough. We should do a potluck dinner.
Starting point is 00:48:25 We should do a potluck dinner, but it's like one of those Donberies at the mall where it's all lined up and then you've got to choose. Well, we create our own bowls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can have some, like, noodles, some rice, and then each of us bring a meat option for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would bring Korean beef, you know, that pulled, sticky Korean beef.

I'm lucky putting out of a picture or movie and it was so cute. that's really sweet that's really cute one were they wearing

So, of course, had to stop as they waddled, and then, of course, glaring at the person coming towards me, making sure that they were going to stop as well.
Starting point is 00:58:15 And we both sat there smiling at each other like idiots as these tiny little ducklings with their little waddle across the road. That's so cute. Gave me a smile and made me. and look forward to my day. It's actually trauma for me because, you know, my mum didn't stop. She mowed through the ducks. She mowed through the ducklings.

It's a landmark week of fact of the day, and we're looking at unusual quirky facts about landmarks. We learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa in every effort to make it not lean, has only made it lean more. It's terrible. Terrible. Today is the great wall of China. Jaina. Jaina.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Jaina. Jaina. Jaina, Jena, Jena. Jena, Jena. Jaina. The phrase, I'll start with by saying the phrase, Great Wall's a bit misleading because it's not one continuously long wall. There are parts, and there were parts where there were gaps.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Great walls. A series of fortifications, trenches, watchtowels, and beacon stations built by different dynasties over 2,000 years. The earliest parts date back to the 7th century, BC. Wow. So that's, you know, 2,700 years ago. What's it doing? It's keeping out.
Starting point is 01:06:50 So it started with smaller sections of Chinese rival Chinese state built smaller walls And then under a unified China It was to keep out the Mongolians You're Genghis Khan barbecues Kieldo You're saying that said no to a Genghis Khan barbecue? But you get to fill up the bowl
Starting point is 01:07:08 Yeah, I know, but he was filling up the bottle with them Oh, was they? Yeah I just go mix meat and noodles I mean, I just know what I mean? Panda Orange Panda. A panda orange panda? Sesame orange panda.
Starting point is 01:07:20 me, Parange Panda. So some things about the Great Wall, you know the, it's visible from space situation? Yes. That you referenced in the T's to this. So it was claimed that you could see the Great Wall of China from the Moon in the 1930s.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Now, if you're familiar with the Moon... Bingo. If you're familiar with the Space Race, it wasn't until over 30 years later. Yeah. That, you know, that depends on if you believe in that. Shannon, do you believe we've been to the moon? Do you believe we've been to the moon?
Starting point is 01:07:50 No, she's like, it's a ruse. I'm not going to say no. I'm just going to say I have a lot of questions about the crosshairs. It's basically no. Shut it down. She's our conspiracy theorist, so you always check with her. No, I just, I have questions. I think as humans, we should question everything.
Starting point is 01:08:04 And who was Katie Perry? John Pneigh Ramsey. There we go. There we go. Here we go. Here we go. So I was made in the 1930s and became like Cold War era propaganda of the power of communism and China's greatness.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Right. So big. You can see it from space. It got into school textbooks and, like, trivia books. Astronauts said from low Earth orbit, it's barely visible and only under the perfect lighting can you see the differentiation between one side and the other in some parts. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:32 And from the moon, which is 384,000 kilometres away, it's completely invisible. The same colour and texture as the surrounding Earth. And Chris Hadfield, famous Canadian astronaut that we've talked to. He said the Great Walletron is not visible from space with a naked eye. Complete myth. It's a BS. Now, I will say that there are parts of the Great Wall of China made with rice.
Starting point is 01:08:53 How? How about that? Leftover rock hard sushi. And then they've poured concrete on it. Not far off. No, they didn't even pour concrete. They used it as a sticky rice mortar. So they made the bricks, but to hold them together is literally like cement powder and rice.
Starting point is 01:09:12 You know, if you don't clean your bowl that you've had rice. And it just goes, gichigle. Yeah, like a disc. Like that. So they're mixed it with lime, so it would be less affected by weather. More precipitation. Yeah. But yeah, they basically said it was the glutinous rice that held it together.
Starting point is 01:09:26 That's insane. That's crazy. Yeah. So they also used crushed sea shells when they got closer to the shore. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And they said some of the rice-based walls still stand after over 600 years of monsoons and earthquakes. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:09:40 21,000 kilometers, eh? That's so big. It's a very long wall. My friend ran the Great Wall of China Marathon. and she said it was harrowing because there's so many steps on it. Yeah, right. It's up and down, up and down, up and down.
Starting point is 01:09:52 It's not straight. So what part of the Great Wall of China, because that's only a very small... You said it's 21,196 kilometres long. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure what part it was. A marathon is 42 kilometres a very small part of it. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:05 I have no interest in doing it ever in my life, ever. Also, the Chinese government a little while ago, I mean, I'm talking like 100 years ago, I had to say, can you please stop? Because farmers would be like, nobody's watching, take a wagon and just start pulling it apart because they could use the bricks to make their own pig styes and stuff.
Starting point is 01:10:19 So there's some pig styes and horse shelters and animal barns, as well as houses, made from bricks stolen and from the Great Wall of China. Amazing. Yeah, so today's Factor of the Day for Landmark Week, is the Great Wall of China, parts of it made with rice. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Do-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Rol. Play. Play, Z-N.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Fletch and I were pumping the iron yesterday at the gym. You guys pump-at some iron. You're back in a pump-in-ion. Yeah, pump-ion. Pumping some iron. You were doing upper body. Can I just say, can I do squats the day? Hit it?
Starting point is 01:11:06 I felt like I might put a more regular squat in the routine. Yeah, you should. Can I just say, though, I don't know if it was the wonderful, amazing week of weather that New Zealand had last week. Let's discuss. But the gym is he very hot. Have you noticed it's yours?
Starting point is 01:11:21 100%. And it is because people got a reminder that summer is coming, and we've only got a few months to be hot. Everyone wants to be hot for summer. No, I reckon you're all really hot. Yeah, you are. Well, that's what I say. You're hot.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Do you know how you get a bikini body? You just put a bikini on it. You put your body in a bikini. Do you know what the hottest thing is? Confidence. I know. I know. As someone who has been sharing my naked body with strangers again for the first time in a number of years,
Starting point is 01:11:46 that's the one thing I keep reminding myself because you're like, confidence. But you've just started sharing your naked body again with strangers. Yeah. Fletcher, someone has been doing it all. I all knife you. I knew exactly where that was going. How do you rock a confident body year round? But totally. I mean, but there's definitely an increase
Starting point is 01:12:05 and there's a lot of hoties. I'll tell you. It's an absolute please you. So I'm on one side of the gym yesterday, and Fletcher's on the other side of the gym, and we had a little ongoing joke yesterday. Kissies baby. What, Kisses baby? Yeah, like someone wants to give you kisses. Hases, Debbie.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone from South America, I want to give you kisses, you know. So we walked into the gym. We literally carried this joke for like two hours. Two hours about having kisses, you know, from a lovely Brazilian or some old of Colombia, maybe, I don't know. keysies, kisses and then we're separated because you're on upper arm low
Starting point is 01:12:42 we're on different sides of the gym then I look over at you and we've got headphones in and you're blowing me kisses and blowing her kiss and I was like kisses but we're like quite far apart
Starting point is 01:12:56 he goes kisses like this which is when a man who's in between us who's doing pull-ups takes off his headphones and looks at Fletch and is like sorry He thought he was getting blown keys
Starting point is 01:13:10 He thought he was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I was like, pointing a hand and he turns around. And he's like, too late, I take a kiss. Yeah, yeah. I take her your kisses. Oh, where do I get his kisses? I want the more of these kisses. He looked quite like, wasn't he wearing a rugby jersey?
Starting point is 01:13:25 I feel like he was quite mass. Quite masked. Like a gay's can't wear a rugby jersey? Not this one. Well, they don't, though. They're not a fashionable. Don't like, yeah. A rugby jersey at the gym, he'd be running hot.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was super attractive, but yeah, he's kind of looked... And I was just like, oh, I didn't see him, because he kind of moved over just as I was blowing Haley a kiss. But I just love that he stopped his work out to take out the air thing and be like, why is this strange man? And then he looked at Haley and... Blowing me kisses.
Starting point is 01:13:53 And what I did is when he looked at me, I looked away. I sort of wanted to leave Fletcher and the lurch with blowing kisses at the strange. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, no, no, not for you. He was so confused. It did take him a while to do that thing where you sort of, Are you talking to me?
Starting point is 01:14:07 Are you talking to me? Put his headphones back on. I would have, I would like to say, though. I would share your body. I will share my kisses with his men. Okay, yeah. And when he turned around, I was like, I give you another case.
Starting point is 01:14:20 This is what I'm up here. The ZN Podcast Network. It's a show real. Play ZN's flesh, for him and Haley. Joined by fellow Lotto Luzer, Georgia. You don't know. Sub-looser. Yes, we do.
Starting point is 01:14:31 No one want it. Nobody want it. Unless you won. First Division, no Powerball. Another six people won. that? So it's at $166,000 each? I'll still come to work. If you want, if you won, if I only won that, I'd be back at work. If I won this one, I'd finish out the year, so to make it less obvious.
Starting point is 01:14:49 If you won 55 mill? Yeah. No, I reckon you'd have to hang around for longer. You reckon? Oh, too obvious. Yeah. It's only like a month left. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't want to get up at 4 o'clock. I don't know what you're saying. Yeah, well, I'll also have the show of us, thanks to Kimmer's Warehouse, train harder and recover faster, with faction lab supplements, now 20% off. Thank you for saying that. Now, we know the movement, the Trad Wives movement, and everyone was like, oh, I don't want to be having that anymore.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Which, have you had to summarise? It's like stay-at-home wives that cook and clean for their husbands, and that's their sole purpose in life, and going back to the tradition of men working and the women just being the housemakers. Where a woman takes a traditional submissive gender role, focusing on home-making childcare and serving her husband and family. Anyway, wouldn't fly at my house.
Starting point is 01:15:37 No, I know. So Trad Sons is the new term. And everyone's like, the moment you hear trad now, we're all like, no, no, no, but people are here for it. It is the stay-at-home son. So these are sons that are still living at home with mummy and daddy, but they are contributing to the domestic chores around the house. And the reason that people are saying that they like this is because we're actually teaching men how to do things to help better. Shouldn't they have already been doing that? Yeah, should have.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Well, then I mean I didn't hang around long enough, but my mother wouldn't have let us move out without some basic skills. Washing, cooking, cleaning, that kind of stuff. Yeah. So men living in their 20s and 30s, living with their parents, basically contributing by doing chores and whatnot. Instead of paying rent, they exchange domestic labourer. That's actually a little bit embarrassing because that's just what happens
Starting point is 01:16:33 when you're a teenager and you're still living at home, but you're capable, right? Like, your parents are like, do this, this and this. Yeah. And you're like, but I don't want to. They're embracing this lifestyle choice. Rather than, remember of boomerang kids, which is like keep popping back home to mum and dads and da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 01:16:47 I reckon that's better. They're kind of having to embrace it though, aren't they? Because they can't afford to or don't have a job. Well, they're saying as well, improve mental health for men living at home with mum and dad because they don't have loneliness, they're having a good time. I just, my parents moved in with me. It's good fun. It gives you a stronger emotional connection to your parents
Starting point is 01:17:05 and maybe give you a bit of emotional maturity too Which is lovely refreshing trait I'm actually moving in with Fletcher's parents Are you? I love with them You'd be great in the garden with Bev She'd love that She can teach me the way of the roses
Starting point is 01:17:18 Yes, yeah yeah Oh my God, the woman knows a rose She keeps telling me every time I say to Bev I'd love roses she's like, it's easy, it's easy For you Beth Easy for the skill Not for me Does she have a little knee pads
Starting point is 01:17:30 And they're so, I don't know if she's got knee pads. No, she's just got hardened. Wait, really, hardened knees. She's got to be careful, actually. Yeah, it's a few years. Yeah, hard of knees. Right. Well, yeah, fantastic.
Starting point is 01:17:43 George's up next. What have you got on the show today? Songs? Songs? That, I have songs. I'll be you some promos as well. Yeah, tell me what have I got, Haley? Well, you've got a chance to get to the I heart radio jingle ball in New York City.

I've got jelly roll tickets, and then he cancelled, Georgia. Yeah, I actually did feel a bit of guilt for that. But you know what, I had a hens do and couldn't go anyway, so I was quite happy that he cancelled. Oh, Georgia.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Oh, I don't, wait, wait a minute. Bebbs just messaged me. Oh, she sent me some pictures of her roses. I'm going to send her... Oh, look at them and bloomed down there in Taranaki. Oh, my gosh, they're lush. They're lush. What ones does she have?
