From the ZM Podcast Network This is... Fleshwon and Haley's Big Pod Thanks to animates, making happy happen for pets. Fletch Fawn and Haley, all here and not taking a sick day. Unlike the many Kiwis that Bryn just mentioned in the news, taking sick days.

But it averages what, seven days per worker per year. That's not bad, eh? That's not bad. That's not bad. What do we get? 10. Yeah, I thought we got 10. So we're not even using them all. No. Use them up, man. Book a hangover. Who's that one person using all of them?

Well, yeah, if the average is seven and that means some people have taken the purse. It's a lot. And some people have taken the piss. I started to yawn. I was just overcome with yorn. I blame the supermoon. Oh, did you have a bad sleep because of the super moon? Yeah, super moon.

That moon is howling, isn't it? Yeah, it's massive. It's pretty cool. Can I just, I just do want to be honest, I'm letting you know I'm broadcasting from Where am I? Tauranga. Are you and a, what is that? It looks like a quest service department. It's called hotel on Devonport.

It's sort of, yeah, it is, I'm in an apartment, an apartment built. Thank you. It's very roomy. It's posh. The seven days tour is really paying well then. Oh, mate. I've got a balcony. You got a balcony.

Does your room face out to that awesome railway bridge that goes across? the um the harbour there yeah i like that they were just like you know what we could go around but no we'll go across we're in a railway bridge it's just out to the main street but i do i'm here even though i'm from tauronga but i am watching marley and me in the background so i've just got sky tv i've got sky tv oh that's posh um and currently the dog's alive okay i've watched that movie on a plane and it ruined me oh yeah no you don't watch emotional movies on a plane no

Something about being in the sky It says you're more emotional Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. More gassy, more emotional. Everything's leaking. Top six on the way and they're wanting to crack down

on the beauty therapy industry. Yeah, any Tom, Dick or Harriet can call herself a beautician. Yeah. And start whipping out pubs, Willie Nelly. They want to make it a bit more stringent. Yeah.

The MBEI.E? We just talked only a few weeks ago about the horror stories of going. The design. As someone who regularly gets her pubs ripped out, I also would like it to be more stringent. Or as someone that just burned her face off with a chemical mask. No, you need to know what you're doing. You need to know what you're doing.

Well, I've got the top six signs your beauty therapist didn't go to course. But next on the show. Terrible news for you, Vaughney, and your daily banana. The Flet's Vaughan and Haley Big Pod. Now, if you don't know, Vaughn, Ellen Smith, every day you make yourself some little porridge. Very good. Very good for you. and accompanying your porridge is often a banana

and sometimes you you whip this banana out of your backpack and I am aghast and I think it's too ripe for a loaf and a cake It's starting to rot It's starting to mould Like there's fruit flies

Already surrounding it The one you had was it Monday And it was black I don't keep a diary of bananas Why do you buy so many bananas Why don't you just like to do a weekly shop But you don't go to the supermarket at all during the week I try not to

But occasionally I'll pop in but I've already got some nanas No no no no no no Oh as you can no no they're different They age different because they are all refrigerated Until they get on put on display at the supermarket So they age differently if you buy them green You can taste them when they do go yellow No yeah

And they go what do you mean? They've all been green at some stage You have green and refrigerated and kids that a low temperature of slowly aged. No. So, Haley, you and I are the same. They've got to be yellow but very firm. Yellow, but like, there's like a

line of green left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was pushed for a banana. I did the shop yesterday. Show us today. What have you got? Oh, see, that's, that's perfect. No, it's a bit of green. It's a bit green. Perfect. Perfect banana. That is elite. That's a fat nans, though. It's a fat nans. It's a fat, straight narns.

Okay. So there's dietitians chiming in on the badana banana debate and, you know, because we know that the sugar levels change, the nutritional value changes, the vitamins we get from them change as they get ripe. It's because the riper of fruit gets the more sugar. Is that right? Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Is that one of the reasons why a brown nans is better for your sweet treats like your loaves and your slith? Yeah, maybe. If you made a banana cake with green bananas, it would be so mad. It would be so ghastly. Yeah. It would be chalky. What is that feeling of a green banana

in your mouth and it feels squeaky? like Havardi cheese. It's very, yeah. Slimy. Yeah. Whereas if you decide on the day to make a banana cake and you go to the supermarket and they don't have like brown or ripe bananas, you go to a dairy, right, and find the ones that try to find some dishes.

No one's bought for like weeks. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so they've broken down the nutritional value of a banana based on, this is so sexy, the nutritional value of a banana based on its ripeness. There's underripe, which is like fully, fully green, which is basically, you know, absolutely terrible. really bad for those with IBS. But if I'm going to head to us,

because would you say, Fletch, we're mostly yellow, some green, or we're fully yellow? We're mostly yellow some green. Okay, nutrients, high fibre. Yeah, good. Moderate sugar. Good. The minerals are very stable.

We're talking your mags. We're talking your potas. Very, very good, very beneficial for you. Steady energy without sugar spikes. Good for blood sugar management. Those with PCOS will say diabetes. And do you know what it's? good for Fletch, gut health.

You're good. See, this is me. This is me. Perfect. Very helpful for Perry or post. I'm neither, but it's arriving menopausal women. Are you pre-pre-pre? I think I'm pre-pre-pre-pre.

Pre-pre-pre. Pre-pre-pre. I feel... Pre-pre-pre-perry. Yeah. Perry-pery chicken. Perry-pery-pery. I feel I'm pre-pery-pery.

You're lemon and herb. Yeah. I'm lemon and herb. I am lemon and herb. And I'm pre-pre-per-pery-pery-pery. Okay, ripe bananas, you know, things start to get a little bit sweeter, so not as good for blood sugar, but far better for a quick little energy workout, right? Like a little quick hit of energy, whereas our choice, not so much.

I'm just going to hear down, because I'm going to say the other two options, very ripe, we've got brown spots, or overripe bananas, brown, black, and mushy, and that's you, Vaughan. Okay. Okay. Nutrients, highest sugar. We've got the highest sugar here. This is why you're crashing. Oh, yeah, it's definitely.

You're crashing post breakfast. He's crashing post breakfast because of the banana. He's having a candy bar. Lower in vitamin C, slightly more folate. Follate. Now, is that good if you're pregnant? Yeah. It's good for your bubs.

I think so. Good for bubs. Good for bubs. They say in this, the nutritionists say the best use exclusively baking in smoothies. Jean, the only benefit you get is that your brown banana is easier on digestion. Oh, yeah, that's a red head mush. I've heard that before. If you just wake up and you just eat three brown nans, you'll know about it.

Have we changed your perspective now on your breakfast? No. They say not good for diabetics or anyone seeking any type of fibre or nutrient density. So you've got loose shirts and high bloodshops. It does. I've found your article at all. You've skipped out some good stuff. This is classic.

This is classic media. Mainstream media. Listen, mate, this is my brain. I've curated what I'm sharing with the audience. Also the highest in antioxidants. The brown mochina. That's good, that's good, Haley. You know, I was just trying to get him to stop bringing those manky ass bananas into our studio.

That is actually... They stink. Like, we can smell it a mile. I can smell your banana mate from a mile away. Dear Lissa, if you're wondering why we are talking about ripe bananas, it is really an intervention. Haley and I are sick of the brown, mouldy bananas. I won't let them go to waste.

Do something about it. I know, but make a love. They shan't go to waste. Please. plays that ends Flesh for in Haley Well, scientists have come out and said that hangary just isn't a thing

Discuss I would disagree Is it frustration I mean it probably might just be that Because they've said that Simply being hungry Or skipping a meal While fasting does not slow down thinking skills

So they've looked into this And they've done experiments and they're like you're hangary but it's not it's nothing to do with your there's no link between hunger and brain power but to me that's not what hangary is just being you're hungry and you just

hang angry I just know I need a treat I don't I don't I don't ever think oh I'm not performing as I should be I'm just like I'm just hungry it's anger at being hungry frustration anger I need to be fed

things are winding me out easier than they should. Yeah, but for some reason, people have thought that maybe it makes you, I don't know, you might be... It might actually impact your brain. Yeah, but it doesn't. They've looked into it. Oh, God, no. I mean, you're the Pits Fletch, given for bids.

Give me, I need, but I'm pretty good at keeping myself fed. Toping you, so that... You top up the coffers all the time. I'm always snacking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm not hungry. No man eats more fruit between the hours of six and nine-thirty. You would agree, Haley. The bells on this guy.

Yeah. The fibre content flowing through. Yeah, there's a lot of fibre content. I mean, I get hungry if my expectations around food are not met. So, like, if I expect that dinner's going to be at six and now it's eight, and that hasn't occurred, I'm out. I'm flipping. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. It's just, or like when you, you know, when you're like, oh, let's go out for dinner and you're sort of walking around, you can't find anywhere, and time passes. like that starts to wear very thin on me. Well, you go to one of those posh restaurants or you're somewhere and you expect the plates to be real big and they're real little and you're like I need more food. You'd want me to pay $300

for this tiny little side dish of like loose and foam? You have to get a little burgy on the way home sort of situation. Yeah. Well, a little burger. I can't believe that science has done this to us. I know. Again.

I often don't. I often don't listen. to science. I'm going to turn my back slowly on them, look over my shoulder every now and then when they've got an announcement. Right. Otherwise... I'm listening to the full moon. Are you? Hmm. Well, okay.

I just like to make it at this point that we kind of, we are joking. I love science. I actually depend on it quite a lot. Yeah, I've used it multiple times already today without even thinking. I take it for granted, if anything. Yeah, you do. Science. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod.

You know, you can't cross to me right now. Oh no Oh, she's No, but she Hailey's in a If you just run the show In a Tohanga hotel And she said at the start of the show

Marley and me's on I don't know why the TV was on Yeah, you should have turned the TV off As soon as you see a golden retriever on television You turn it off I've made a terrible mistake, guys I just had it on in the background for company And it's the scene

And he's at the vets With Mali and Owen's saying goodbye All right, pull it together I'm just going to have to turn that off Because Marley's gone Focus on the show, Haley Okay, it's off

It's also not a surprise You've seen the movie before I've seen it so many times Marley's gone I've never seen it Haven't But you know why To watch it

One of those movies No I don't need to feel sad I don't require that You have enough sadness Yeah yeah I just don't require Additional sadness No no you don't need it Honestly

Okay I'm good I'm good I've just turned that off Because honestly yeah Marley's gone Anyway okay Here is the information from the World Population Review.

These are always great, right, looking at stats from around the world. Yeah. And the one that came across my desk this morning in the early hours of the day was the 2025 bald stats. And I just wanted to share that with you. My bald brothers. My bull brothers. What, are there places, I would have thought everywhere in the world,

every country would have just had the same amount of bald people. It's actually quite different. So this is based on the percentage of men that have male patent baldness, right? So the percentage of the male population of that country that have baldness, if I go right down the bottom, in Indonesia here, or Colombia, just above. Or Colombia.

We are rocking for the men, only 26 to 27% of men with male patent baldness. Three quarters of that, they're holding on to all their hair. Well, they do have lush here in Colombia. Wow. Yeah, they do, lush locks. It's such a mixed bag down the bottom here Of the sort of the men that keep on to their hair

Did you see just quickly as a bald man And a bald break I'm just gonna interrupt because I'm allowed This is our area Did you see? Me and my hair will shut up Did you see Brad Pitt? Got a little bit of a bald spot

Does he? Does he? He's way late to the club But yeah someone said Is Brad Pitt debuting a bald spot And they kind of like had a pap shot or something And it was him walking past And he had a just short idea

Do you reckon? Do you reckon Braddie will chuck a bit of money at that? I reckon he'll chuck some money at that. Why wouldn't you? But then how old is Brad Pitt now? 60. 61 years old. He's going to be 62 in December.

Isn't that insane? He's three years younger than my dad. Like that's so weird. Because my dad's my dad, but Brad Pitt's, Brad Pitt's. Brad Pitt's. And he's so hot. So down the bottom, there's like a mixture of South Korea, Poland, Denmark, Thailand, in Ukraine, like a real mixed bag.

But we head to the top of the boldest countries in the world, based on the population of men that are bald. Yeah. And sitting neatly at position 11 with a bald percentage of 40.19%. Here we are, New Zealand, Altauroa. Really? 40%-ish. Okay.

Just above them in 10th is Norway and just above that. We've got Australia in 9th. Is it because we're down the bottom in the ozone hole? It's boarding us It's burning our hair off It's burning our hair off It's too hot Just above Australia in 8th

We've got Chachia Chetia And above them in seventh position Of the baldest men Canada Canada's quite bald Heading towards the top Six position

Croatia Fifth position Germany Here's your top four United States and fourth For the Baldus With a popular 42% 43% basically

Of American men Having baldness Top three, France We know this The French women Keep it slim tight And you know Ooh la la la

The men Man they blow out And they get bored Quite quickly Oh do they But only just behind And having just been there Not too long ago

Italy In second position Oh yeah It's very similar to France so, isn't it? They rock it. And they sort of have this stringy and they always keep it.

Like you don't often see an Italian man older who has... Shaved it all. I'm just thinking of Sopranos and if they did it was quiffed up some grey on the size. But you can't ask for a gubababoo if you've got a full head of hair.

That's right. What's the gababoo? It is interesting that the Europeans are so adverse to just embracing it and shaving it off. Which is for me, I mean, this is just my opinion, but it's always the best option.

Once it's going, it's gone. Well, yeah, but some people don't have a good head to do it. You might have a weird shaped head. You've got to think about the shape of the head, Haley. Sometimes the hair on the side could add some balance. You're talking about a taper, a cone of sorts. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right there.

Okay, so the baldest country in the world, we're in 11, in first position, with a percentage of 44.5% of the male population. I was going to say suffering, but it's not a sufferer, is it? experiencing baldness, Spain. Really? I mean, but think about the, when you think about the older gentleman in these countries, France, Italy, Spain, you're like, oh, yeah, for sure.

Yeah. They've got the big bellets and the baldheads. And you know what? I don't mind it. And that's why Turkey is so popular. Turkey, not on this, and I think it's because they plug it up. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's, Fletch, Ron, and Haley.

It's not far away from Christmas and New Year's. Oh, how many days? And the summer break. Well, we finish on the 19th and, by my calculation, 37 shows to go. 48 days until Christmas. Yeah, got you. Now, already people are working out next year, 26, when is the best time to holiday? Because, you know, people are planners.

Yep. And I don't know if you've noticed these, like, heaps of early bird deals for, like, flights for next year. Yeah, yeah. You kind of do have to plan. Well, yeah. I mean, obviously these only work for, you know, your full-time employees with, you know, your four weeks or whatever leave you get. Gotcha. It's not really the same for contractors, because you used to live the contract life.

I did, and so what leave meant, it's sort of just a fun term for unemployment, a period of unemployment. When you just don't work. Yeah, and what happens when you don't work was you didn't get paid. So it's not as fun and exciting. As having some annual leave. Well, somebody's worked out that next year, you can use 13 days of the annual leave for 40 days off based on full-time working Monday to Friday. This is in New Zealand, right? Yeah, and it's basically like taking all of the long weekends next year.

But the super Easter break, they call it, would be 16 days off from the 28th of March until April 12, which includes, it's basically taking four days off and Easter. So that is what you've got to put in your leave request for If you want a super break next year Because it's not the same It's not the same as this year where we also had Anzac So it made it like a super super break Yeah So good Friday's the 3rd of April right

And then you've got your Easter And your Easter Monday 5th and 6 And then Anzac Day is not to the 25th So yeah there's a big chunk there You'd have to take off But that's kind of the biggest break get next year is 16 days if you take four off in the middle, making

it 13 days. Okay. It's a nice break somewhere. Or I just take March off. Well, wait on, no, it was April. So just take April off through till Anzac Day. How many days would that use? I mean, if you, yeah, that would probably be, if you wanted to take a month

off a chunk, that would be your month to do it in. Yeah, good month. Yeah. Good month. Are you going to take April, Fletch, what month do you want? Because we should stagger it. Stagger it. I don't know if we're allowed to just do Yeah, well, actually, there's no rules. This is our show, Fletchfallen and Haley. I think you'll find there are rules, Haley.

I think you'll find lots of rules. There are rules? Can we get Ross on? Lots of rules. Well, there you go. If you're a 9 to 5er, put your request in. Because that's the thing, you've got to beat everybody else by doing it now. That stresses me out so much the idea of working in like a big corporate team and people

go, I'm going to take the New Year's Christmas and you're like, what about me? I didn't do it. You've got to be organized. Yeah, get organized. Go on a home. It must be nice. It must be nice. Some people just want the time off just so they can pot around the garden.

I'd love to put around the garden. Great month for a pot around the garden, April. That's a bit of you, just 13 days off just out of year. You would love that. Some jobs done. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, One and Haley. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.

Correct, because I don't know what I'm doing. We've talked about those times when you've hurt yourself in the name of beauty or when you've had a run-in with a beauty therapy. And the stories are horrific. Some of them. You can really muck yourself up, as you can tell by the scouring on my jaw. You know? You can muck it up.

The ZDM Podcast Network. I thought we could have a little bit of a what we're watching situation here because, man, I reckon you would have seen this on social media, all sphere, the show of the rich, Highfalutin lawyers starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and the like.

Has been everywhere clips of this. Kim Kardashian making a, you know, big acting performance. Wait, what's it called? All sphere. Oh, I thought you said sphere like a spherical shape. Orbs sphere. As in all is sphere. It's got Glenn Close in it.

The cast incredible Naomi Watts Gleng Close. No, Sarah Paulson. Sarah Paulson. My goodness, 3.4 out of 10 IMDB, 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. 0% critic score on Rotten Tomato. This show. That's terrible. 47% of Google users like the show.

This show has been out for less than 48 hours. It has been very, because of the Kim Kardashian acting role thing, and she's playing a lawyer and we know that she's, you know, trying to be lawyer. A lot of people have been anticipating this. well, I have pulled some of my favorite quotes from the Hollywood Reporter's Review 24 hours after it was released. It was released on Tuesday.

Disney Plus, you can watch it in New Zealand. First three episodes are available now, but I don't know if you want to. Here's some of my favorite quotes. Kim Kardashian might just be the perfect choice to top line All's Fear. This is not to say she's good in all. It's not to say that she's good in it, mind you, she is not.

Kardashian's performance, stiff and effectiveless, without a single authentic note is exactly what the writing also stiff and effectiveness without a single authentic note merits. Like, apparently it's awful. Oh no. Yeah.

I mean, people do love to hate though and I don't always take what critics say. Yeah. I love this. I love this. Her very presence, which succeeds at generating bars and not much else, feels fitting for a show that seems to not want to be watched. It doesn't do. The show itself.

doesn't want to be watched. That's brutal, wow. It's so brutal. So anyway, I mean, I feel like that was the show. Jessica Simpson's in it. Oh, really? Jessica Simpson stuns fans with unrecognizable face in Alls Fair.

Oh, she had one of those. Has she had another one of those? I thought she had come right. Oh, yeah, man. She has been stapled at the back of her ponytail. Jesus, that's a tight face. That's a tight face. I'm going to get me one of those at 50.

All right. Okay, hold on. What? Simpson's character in All's Fair sought revenge. for botched plastic surgery. Oh, that's one. Okay, right. They botched her up.

They, okay, right. They botched her up. Far out, because, yeah, she looks... Okay, good, fuel. Banked. Right, well, so how many Eps are out? Three are out on Disney Plus, I think another one's on its way, but I might tap out out of respect for your own time in life.

But could it, could it, like, you know, like bring everybody back around by the end of the series? Like, maybe it's just nine. I don't know. I feel like, kind of like, with the Sex and the City reboot. and just like that or whatever it was called. I'm here for the fashion, because it's all about rich, like,

million-y-millionaire lawyers with their, you know, burke and handbags and whatnot. But, yeah, maybe watch something else at the moment. What are you guys watching? Shannon, you're watching the new, what is it, the reality squid game. Yeah, Squid Game, the Challenge.

So it released yesterday, so I was there right in. Like I was like, let's go. We spoke about there's a Kiwi, one of the Kiwi contestants, isn't it? Yeah, and so, I've almost watched the first four episodes. I watched three of them yesterday.

And I set out to do it as a crochet show, which for me means I'm not really engaged. A croceau. A croce show show show show. A croceau. A crochet. A crochet. Yeah. It's better.

Thanks, everybody. Thanks everybody. Feel free to knock off for the day, actually. Yeah, I'm actually going to do that now, actually. Thanks guys. Set out for it to be a shochet and put down the crochet and full focused. Wow. phone. It's so engaging.

You don't need to have watched Squid Game, I would say. If you're not a huge Squid Game person, it's still an entertaining show. You obviously get a lot more of the nuances but a lot of the games are different because obviously the characters, the contestants know what's coming. So they change a lot. And the prize money's

$4.5 million. That's not, say. And there's just like lots of interesting people. There's a lot more relationships. Father-daughter combination. There's identical twins. There's an Australian guy who's very prevalent. Like It's just a really interesting show, so definitely recommend. I saw this morning, you know, the show Nobody Wants This,

that went crazy on Netflix. What's her name? Kirsten Bell and... Oh, yeah, Adrian. Adam Brody. Brody. That season two's just dropped, and already today it's been confirmed for a season three.

So everyone's... Because everyone liked that. It was a real girly pop show, but it was really well done. So that's on Netflix at the moment. 86% on Roeux. 86% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to the, what was it, eight? Eight percent.

Eight percent. The Zan Podcast Network. Play Zatins, Fletchhorn and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley, silly little poe.

Today's Celadolita Post, your day rolling with delicious coffee. We are 48 days away from Christmas. Now, are we Fletch? Because we've had a text on the text machine and someone's quite upset with you, Fletch. 48 days, 16 hours, 41 minutes. So I mean, 40, there we go.

They said Fletch. 49 sleeps. You're a day ahead for the Christmas. It's flying my child off the tracks. a countdown at home, and now she's worried she's not done it, right? It's 49 days. I've got the exact hours and minutes countdown. Yeah, full days.

Two, three, four. No, that's Boxing Day. There are three paydays till Christmas. Don't, why do you break it down in money terms? No, the Boxing Day payday will be Christmas Eve, eh? Because it's a public holiday. I don't know if that counts anymore. Does that count anymore?

Well, anyway, there's either three or four. If you get paid fortnightly, that's how. many pays there are until Christmas. The Sprouse for the third year in a row are doing no gifts. And I tell you what, I mean, we don't have kids in our family, but like, it just alleviates so much pressure. God, it must be so peaceful. It must be so

peaceful. It's the way to go. You don't even have a family. We are not going to be there for Christmas, yeah. What do you mean? It must be a couple of naces. They're loud. Are they loud? Are they loud? Do you shush them? No, I do buy them. No, I do buy the musical instruments and leave the country. You know, I think they're old enough for a

trumpet. I think it's time for a drum kit. Yeah, drum kit, but the drumsticks don't arrive until you've left. Yes, great idea. That's a great idea. Unpack it when you get home. Yeah. You know drums, you can't take them out of their bag of more than months, so just wait until you get those home. Well, silly little poll is, for those who decorate, when do you put up your Christmas tree? The options

were, it's already up. Sometime in November, start of December, or just before Christmas. I'm very excited to get mine up this year. Because you believe there was Christmas tree discussions last night with my girls. Oh, yeah, okay. We go the big dog this year.

Are you? Yeah, okay. So big, you know, my, uh, it's going to go in the middle where the ceiling's pitched, we've got a, sort of a freight, yeah, yeah. Won't that be in the way of the TV? I don't care. No, it's just going to be the whole lounge. Okay, right.

I was thinking this year actually, because I'm not sure, I'm mine usually tucks in the corner, but there's a chair there now and curtains. So I was thinking maybe of clearing the lounge and just chucking it in the middle. You know, like one of those, like, just chuck it in the middle and we're going to throw around. Yeah, I reckon, that'd be fun. Is that Scandinavian to have it in the middle of the room And make it the feature? I mean, how big of your house?

Your house isn't big enough for that, Haley. Excuse me? Oh, I think you're talking about my mansion. I wasn't going to have any foyer if I want. No, mine's not, but I'm thinking of maybe clearing out the front room and just moving the bed out. I just make a whole room into a Christmas room. My brother and his partner could put up a tent.

What about outside in your covered deck? That would look great. That would look nice. That would look nice. And it is plastic, so it will survive. But I don't want the baubles to fall and break. Well, the results. Well, the most popular one is start of December.

65% of people said start of December is when the tree goes up. Yeah, okay. Sometime in November was the second most popular. 18% of people said sometime in November. Wow, really? See, I'm a hard December. No, see, I'm thinking Big Dog. That's the thing that you don't want to buy it too early and it dies.

But Big Dog's going to cost a bit more. So you want cost per day down, you're going to have to get one earlier. Plus, if you're going to get a big dog. You don't want a brown big dog No, you don't want a brown big dog But it rolls around to Christmas And your Christmas tree's gone brown Oh shame

All your photos, it's like ooh brown tree I just take it outside Spray paint at Greene and drag it back in I will not lose 13% of people said just before Christmas And 4% It's already up That is insane

That is a lot of people Already had their Christmas tree up It's insane behaviour But they spend a lot of money They get the colours right And they want to look at it for a long time Okay, we're, I'm going to go through some of the responses here. Bex writes, I live alone, I put the dogs' Christmas stocking up,

but fill them with treats and toys the night before I don't have a Christmas tree. Oh, yeah. That's Grinch material, because Grinch had the dog, didn't they max? Yeah. I don't, but I'm always away. I never have a tree. Yeah, that's true enough. You'd come back to just be, like, pine needles everywhere.

Yeah, and the cat would have a field day. Pigeon living in it. Yeah. Katie said, just before Christmas and then down pretty quickly after that again. Husband isn't a fan. Oh, you've got a, suppose. You've got to take it down quickly. People that leave it up.

Santa will literally give you coal if you put that shit up in November. I ain't even joking. It happened to my mate, Greg. Okay. Greg got coal. I think from centre. If your name is Greg, I think you're getting coal for other reasons. Yeah.

Probably. Greg, we all know what you've been Googling and looking at on the internet. It's disgusting and it's got to stop. From Santa. Eliza said, my birthday is the 13th of November, so I usually put my tree up just after that. Oh, you can get the birthday out of that. the way they get a tree up for Christmas.

I like that. Aisha said, living in the UK, I would put it up on October 1st because I don't care for Halloween. And the holiday chair was welcome. I just moved to Perth. And our container hasn't arrived, so it's not going up at all this year.

The sun is helping me cope with the sad realisation. You've gone from a UK winter to a Perth, a Christmas, summer Christmas. That is the most polar of contrast. It is. It really is. But, um, Kyoto. But Livy said, but it's only already up

because it's been up since Christmas last year. Never took it down. No. It's so weird. What if I went over in September or like June and it's up? That's odd. June you could write it off as a midwinter

but like around Easter? Yeah. So for the 4% that already have it up that works out to be about 300 people that responded. Yeah. That's nuts, eh? I also just want to give Livy who we just heard

for the McCaffee Coffee Voucher because she's probably had those lights going all year as well and that's $50 a $50 Mac Cafe voucher for you well done Victoria said I actually started wearing my Christmas jumpers

at the start of this week okay Victoria sit down for a minute That's obviously from the UK right Oh yeah maybe Wilson says Tree was up on November 1st maximum acceptable amount of joy please

so they've had their tree up already 25th of November 1 month until Christmas that is the acceptable window for a tree, said Hannah. That's a good call. Laura said November, the decorations go up so I can do it slowly and enjoy a perfect home for December. Oh, that's nice. That's a rainbow tree too.

Laura's got a, her baubles are colour-themed. The start of the top red, wet their way through and finish on it, a sort of a purple. And finally, Lou said before Christmas, and you're sick of it by Christmas, just before Christmas. Oh, sorry, if you put it up before December, you're sick of it by Christmas, just before Christmas and it feels too much effort for a short time.

December 1st optimum Christmas chair for a Christmas tree. Quite a lot of messages coming in as we're discussing this on the Textio Machinio. Someone said I'm actually considering buying another garden shed so I never have to put it up again and I just drag it out when needed and yeat it back in next Christmas. That's actually a really good idea. Do you know what I mean? No, then you're going to have to clean the cobwebs. Yeah, but the baubbles are all on and that's the house where the lights are strung.

The cobwebs are nature's tinsel. Yeah, fair call actually. Put a light misting on the tree and the water sticks to the wood. I was in the supermarket the other week just before Halloween, and I was like, Christ, this supermarket has got to sort out its cobwebs on the mandarin's. But it was fake cobwebs for Halloween.

Halloween, oh, sweetheart. Oh, granddad's having a spell. What has gone on with this place? Morning, someone in the text machine, Star Wars-themed Christmas tree up November 1st this year. If you could send a photo to my Instagram, that's Vaughan Anonymous. Yeah.

On Instagram, I'd love to see that Star Wars themed Christmas tree, please. And one last message I just want to show. year from the text machine right now. All this talk of Christmas has got me very excited about hearing from our Christmas orphan soon. They're dead actually. I'm pretty sure they're dead. I'm pretty sure they're dead. Presumed, we've never seen a body.

I don't think they're dead. Exactly, nobody was ever seen. Well, for silly little poll, we said when do you put your Christmas tree up 65% you said start of December? Play Z-N's. Flesh, One, and Haley. I want to hear from our listeners right now this morning. What was the most ruthless thing that a kid has said to you? Oh, because kids have no filter, eh? They're brutal.

And they don't know. They have not been told by society that it's not polite to tell people exactly how it is. I asked this because a mum shared online, she was on her kids' computer when she made a startling discovery. So I was closing Lexi's tabs on her phone, and I was looking at her tabs, and this is her Google search. School supplies, what month is June, is God real, lunch boxes, seven-year-old birthday ideas. If my mom's ugly, do I have to be it? If my mom's ugly. Is ugly, do I have to be ugly?

Wow. So, oh my God. And she's searched that when her mom's not around. Like, she means it. Yeah, she's genuinely concerned. Do you know what I mean? Like, that she, because her mom's ugly. Yeah, but the answer is yes, right?

No, because sometimes you see a couple of mangars, like, sometimes you see someone. real hot on Instagram and then they'll be like Happy Mother's Day and you're like Gah!

Like how did that happen? Yeah and then they're like Happy Father's Day and you're like and then it's like how how has this happened? Yeah yeah so it's not a guarantee

but I tell you it's you know it often is the case for that kid is what they would have discovered that's the thing kids have no filter I mean you'd know

this having kids for yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like what age do you reckon they kind of become aware of mine weren't too bad

the worst part is and they still do it now you'll see someone and I'm like talking hello how are you and you walk away two steps who was that really loud and you're just right but that my kids not too bad I mean when they were little you'd look at you and you could see that they were about to ask you an inappropriate question because that observed what you just observed and you'd be like the man the man wheeled paths with no legs and you're just waiting for it yeah three two what happened to his legs yeah why he's got no legs I had a kid ask why I had a mustache as a woman

But years and years and years ago, yeah, for sure. Oh, no. Did you cry? Yep. No, I explained to them the inner workings of having PCOS. And I'm like, you listen here, five-year-old. He's like, I wish I never asked. Yeah, Jesus.

Go on about it. Put it in an episode of Bluing and I'll watch it. There was that famous ad. Is your baby going to be a boy? Remember to the man on the back of the bus with the belly? Yes. Yes. Is your baby going to be your boy?

Well, kids are ruthless. This is what we want to know this morning. 0800 dars at him. Give us a call. Text us in, 9-696. What is the most brutal thing a kid is said to you? I don't know right now what is the most cruel or brutal thing a kid is said to you. We asked this on Instagram too.

I'll read some Instagram feedback, shall I? Why is there mosquito bites all over your face? I had severe acne. Out. Not me, but little kid said to my friend is that, Is that fly poo on you? They were a frickels. They do look like fly shit sometimes.

Why do you need a lunch break? You're already fat. Oh my God. I've always struggled with acne and they pointed and said spot, spot, spot, spot, spot, spot, spot. Yesterday a kid in my class said, I like your man bun. I'm a woman. Just a bun. I like you, just a bun.

Just a messy top mouth. Why do you have wrinkles on your stomach? I had stretch marks because I'd been pregnant because of little shits like you because of making little shits like you Kate what's the most brutal thing a kid has said to you I'm a teacher

and we would turn the lights off to watch something and this little voice goes oh you look pretty with the lights off oh babes Jesus You look pretty with the lights off So I'm better what with the lights on

Yeah Better to hear it from a kid in a classroom Than a man in the boudoir though Yeah well that's true Let's silver line in this It's true Still though that's got to hurt though Doesn't it?

Yeah Yeah Is that the only thing that's been Said in your entire teaching career Or is it just on the daily Yeah pretty much on the daily Yeah god you'd have You'd have a thick skin by the end of it

Wouldn't you? Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah, you'd have to yeah Kate, thank you. Some messages in. A friend of the Sean Savage Primary School teacher, Matt, message me said he could write a book on what some of these little...

I'm sure he didn't mean to use that word about your children. With what some of these little things have said to me. I said that you should. Teachers should write a book called things your kids said to me that they shouldn't have. Yeah. And give it out at the end of the year to all the parents. That would be hilarious. I couldn't think of a bad word to say about him.

I wouldn't dare say a bad word about him. Because I know he's got a whole lot of bad words inside him that he's not afraid to you. my son said someone smelled in the elevator when they hopped in and then he vomited on the floor let's just say it just doesn't do well with smells but I mean that would be a way to really make you reconsider your personal hygiene

I have a stutter and when talking to a four-year-old she asked me what sounds that was it sounded funny what are you doing have you always been fat my son asked my mum why she has black teeth and then touched her underarm and said, geez, that's wobbly, Nana.

Oh, my God, what I had a kid asked me why I've got stripes on my forehead. My then four-year-old asked me and my wife, why our boobs are so long. I'm a man. I've got no excuse. Long, such a good word for boobs. She's long in the boobs.

Long in the boob. I'm a preschool teacher, and a child that was learning to count counted my zits, but I couldn't stop him because he was learning. It was a learning moment. Yeah. My son once said to me, No offence, Mum, but you're not really the right kind of mum for me.

That's done. Oh, that hurts sort of a deep. That's a deep, that's a deep spiritual cut. You're not the right kind of mum for me as a spiritual cut. I just feel the castings out here, Mum. Yeah, we're not a good mix, Mum. We're just not really clicking as a sort of mother-child relationship. Oh, my God, that is so brutal.

I can't get over that one. I'm going to make you redundant and I will get it in a six-month period and then rehire. or another mother. Yeah, yeah, and good luck to you for your future endeavors. Yeah. I'm a ballet teacher and I still have the youngest students, three to four,

come up to me and ask me when I'm having my baby. My second baby is seven and tore apart my stomach muscles. So I just look a little bit like this now. They pat my ballet during dance class. Horatless. My boy's proudly stated that when he grew up, he wanted to be a big fat man like dad.

Well, that's sort of a compliment. Yeah. He also defended me when someone teased me for being bald and they said that I had no hair and then they said well actually he does has heaps of hair you should check out his back which didn't help

you're not helping yeah he's not he's got heaps why do you have so many itchibites on your face from a five year old that didn't know about acne yeah I was a brutal kid my auntie flashed her boobs and I asked why they were all the way down there

You're so... I mean, I guess that is old to a kid, right? Yeah. On a bus, my mum said... On a bus, my son said really loudly, Mom, why is that man black? Oh my God. I didn't respond.

I just looked at him with open eyes and I just shook my head and he was like, oh. Mom, why is that man black? Now what part of wide-eyed shaking my head says repeat the question louder? You know what? Mum needed to do a pinch under the arm.

A little crad to get her fingers in there. Or a wrist grab. Yeah. Sit down here. Shut. I was giving my four-year-old niece a play pony ride. And I was being the pony. And I said to her, what's your pony's name?

She said, Fatso the pony. Far out. Oh my God. I love it so much. My five-year-old told her auntie. do you wear so much makeup because you're old and ugly we're in a post shop

Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. I had a hookup in April this year. My four-year-old niece asked me a few weeks weekends ago if I was pregnant. I had to remind her the baby I was holding was the one of, sorry, I had a baby in April this year. Right. My four-year-old niece asked me a few weekends ago if I was still pregnant. I said, no, I had the baby. I was holding it. and she was like

oh no way that's gonna hurt that's gonna hurt for a while actually isn't it I think that's a life sting that's a life sting yeah wow that's a talk to it

talk to your therapist about yeah that's for that in the book I used to work with I thought, there's just so, there's, I'm not even halfway through the text. I used to work with autistic children. One day I was working with a child, and he asked me to show him the rainbow. And I was like, oh, there are no rainbows. And he was like, and he was trying to really getting frustrated, explain to me the rainbow.

He meant the wrinkles in my forehead because when my eyebrows go up and look like a skin rainbow. Oh, yeah, okay. Skin rainbow. Skin rainbow. Ha. Um, um, I feel better now just about my little mustache comment from years ago from a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's so many more. um third day teaching in a new school and i was told i was a big fat sea word by a five year old

i spun around really quickly i said excuse me i'm not fat the boy was really confused he didn't know what the seawood meant he just heard it yeah okay um i actually i was reading the kids story and one of the kids got up in the back of the classroom and i could see him walking up to the front of the classroom and he walked up and just grabbed my double chin and said it wobbles while you talk. Oh my goodness. From the back of the room. He's like, no, I don't like that.

I don't like that. Well, grab, I'll just hold this while you read. The wobbling's driving everybody crazy. The ZDM Podcast Network. What's going on? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. There's been a study into dating when it comes to Gen Zs and millennials. And a lot of them, a, um, a, um, a, um,

they're calling it, like catfishing, they're calling it financial catfishing. So they're lying about how well off they are. But... To impress people. It's the same thing with any kind of catfishing, like pretending that you've got a better face than you do. What's the end goal?

Because eventually I'm going to be like... Burry yourself, tick up, like, debt on a credit card and just try to get laid. And then I guess... Yeah, right. Because if a person was saying to me again and again and again, again, again how much money they had. Eventually, I'm going to want gifts and money.

Do you know what I mean? I feel like, I want more money bags. I'll be like, right, will you pay for this then? So, you know, guys, we didn't win a lotto. No. I know. Nobody won lotto. It's jackpotted.

To what, 38? Yeah, it can be a maximum of 50. I googled that before. I'm happy to wait. For the 50? For the full 50. I'll keep doing a $24 investment until we hit that 50. Well, until then, watch out for financial cap fishing because half of Gen Z and

Half of millennials have admitted to lying about their wealth or finances are on a date. 37% are willing to go into overdraft or use credit cards to impress a date. Wow. Of those, 46% of men do it. And for women, 28%. So I don't know if that's going to a nicer restaurant. You just chuck it on the credit card. You go into overdraft.

Yeah, no. You're impressing the date that you're with. Also, like, what sort of person are you attracting that? is drawn to money. Yes. That's the other thing, yeah. If it can't be a cheap and cheerful date, then it's not, you're setting the bar too high going forward, right? Totally. Yeah, if you couldn't just say, like, hey, that's not within my means,

but, you know, I'll cook you something at home. You are, you attracting the wrong kind of person. I don't know if I want to go to your house on a first date. What are we making? What do you want? Yeah, and also, like, if it's a mingy house, you know, if you've got no cash. Do you know what I'm sort of like...

You just want to hide your house. Well, yeah, exactly. What are you making me as well? Two-minute noodles. Yeah, how are we making them? We're chucking an egg on top. We're getting a little fretted with our rumy. Chili oil.

Yeah. Some spring onions. It's been a while since I've done a two-minute noodle omelite. I'll tell you what, that's a treat. That's a loaded out of oatmeal. Yeah, I know. You make two-minute noodles and then you mix it into an omelette. It's exactly how it sounds, Haley, and it's yum.

Do you like, obviously cook the noodles first and then put them in like a colander or a sieve to really, like, because you don't want extra moisture in your omel. Yeah, you dry cook. Yeah. And then I tell you what, the look on Haley's face, that really impressed her. And I didn't have to spend any money on my credit card, just four eggs and a pack of two-minute noodles. Fletch, if you cook me, your two-minute nudes on this day, I'm coming back for date, too. There you go.

Play ZM's Fletch Born and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. We're talking about Christmas presents, because like it or not, that's coming. And if you are in the position to be purchasing for a fellow adult, What are you going to get them? What do you want? What do you want? What do you want?

Oh, 800, Dials at Em, 96696. We want to compile the ultimate list so that everybody listening can be like, well, that is a great idea for... That's the adult. That's the prison I need to get an adult. Okay, so we asked. We did ask. We kind of set up before that we were going to ask us and some texts are already rolling in.

A projector. Oh, yeah. Because I get those advertising. It's a lot. They're like, you can just get mini projectors now. Have you seen the Samsung ones that sit just off the wall? Yes. You put them just at the base of the wall where you want to turn that into your TV.

Yeah. And it just shoots it straight up. Shutes it up. Shutes it up. Those look cool. You got to have a smooth wall. I have a smooth white wall. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because like the issue of like hanging from the ceiling, it feels a bit involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you can get little tiny projectors now. So, yeah, it doesn't have to be expensive. I'm a woman and I'm desperate for a Kindle this year, including Kindle case and accessory. Oh, now book girlies, is that a, is that a crime? What do you mean?

To have a Kindle? No, no, of course not. I felt like you were going to snob her there and just like, oh, I must read pages. No, I have a Kindle too. It's good for travelling because you can have multiple books on the Kindle. Yes. And hiking as well, you don't have to hike with like a big book. You can read them in the dark because we've got backlight.

Yes. Yeah. Shannon, what do you want for Shannon? I always... For Christmas, Shannon. Shannon. What do you want, Shannon, Shannon? You know what I actually really want?

A shout out. Shout out to Shannon and the workshop. Thank you. No, we've got to stop this. You're getting a written morning next time you ask for a shoutout. Hey, I'm her manager, not you. No, I've got a real suggestion. You can get it from Chemist Warehouse Show, Spawn,

and I do this every week. I do home jail manicures, and you can get a full starter kit, and this saves me so much money throughout the year. Oh, that's good. So I can just do my own nails, and I go down there all the time and when I feel like a little treaty

I can just buy a new colour for like five, six dollars. Because it's expensive to get your nails done all the time. Totally, especially because I like to change them a lot. So yeah, I get a... Sophie, who does my nails, she loves the phoneers. We can't be, you know, stealing business on Sophie. Whoa, crazy. Lose a listener.

You can't do at home what Sophie does. No, and that's the thing. Like I will say, it's like, it's home cell-sall-quality. Yeah, because you don't, between the lines, you're not very good at colouring in, are you? No, no, I don't. Guys over the cuticle. You're quite often over the cuticle.

Oh, God, if you could describe my life, it's over the cuticle. Over the cuticle. Okay, well, this is what we... Over the cuticle was my Rock West band name's first single. I love it. Well, this is what we want to know from you this morning. 0,800 dials at Amazon number. Text at 9696.

What do you want for Christmas? We're going to come back next and compile that ultimate list. What do you want for Christmas in an in aid to help everybody who has to buy for a fellow adult? Hard to buy for these adults. Yeah. Because we've got this nasty habit of buying. buying things we want ourselves. Yeah, that's what happens when you go Christmas shopping

and you just come home and you're saying, I've got a few things for me. But also, I guess, we're taking ideas all across the board because, you know, it is tough at the moment out there, cost of living. Dude, crisis, inflation. I was just about to say, you should see my pool. Now, I realize, I realize this sort of immediate, you know,

juxtaposition of saying it's a tough time out there, you should see my pool. Because it's green? He becomes Kourou Silver and the man changes. My pool has back swimmers. Oh, what are those? Like, tapoles? Like, they live in troughs.

He's doing it tough. I'm thinking of chucking some goldfish in there as a natural field. Right, okay. So anyway, man of the people. It's a man of the people, Vaughn Smith here. Please do I be part of the show. But you should see my pool. It's so green.

Are you saying that's why there will be no Christmas presents this yet? Or cheaper Christmas presents. Yeah. Do you know what is the number one text coming through? Fletch. It's the number one. ninja slushy maker. Yes.

And we were lucky enough to already be gifted this, weren't we? We were, and oh my God, I love it. It's great. Yeah, it's great. And I've seen that on Christmas Day. Do you know this is a really popular message coming in, Lego. Now, Lego's not for everybody, but if you've got

a Lego lover in your life, such as Moa, yeah. Kind of cast an eye on what sets they've got and what they don't, and then go. And then just get them a new Lego. Would you, so you'd just be happy with any Lego. People know I'm a Star Wars Lego guy. Yeah. Not a versed. Harry Potter Lego or a Lord of the Rings

Lego. Okay, now you're being greedy. Or any of the Lego. I've just changed my mind. Alex and all the Lego. Ariana, good morning. What do you want for Christmas? Good morning, crew. Long time listener, callers. There's the bell. Sorry, the bell was hiding behind the donuts.

Welcome. Welcome. Thank you. I would absolutely love a cast iron muffin tray. A cast iron muffin tray. But what about the silicone ones? They don't stick. No, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry about him, Ariana.

Some ideas. 49 days away from Christmas. Play. That ends. Fleshhorn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. A do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. It's fact of the day is fairy tale themed this week.

We're learning the original stories often told by the brothers grim. The very dark. Yeah, they were dark. They were dark stories. I guess a lot of them have had like a hard moral. rule to them. Yeah. But you also got to think

these were tough times. Yeah. You know? If you didn't die in childhood... You're not a lot to be happy about. No, not a lot to be happy about in these dark middle ages. If you didn't die in childhood,

you would be wishing you were after some of these stories. Today we're looking at the frog prince, which has been adapted so many times into the different situation. Prince does something bad, which casts a spell. Yes.

Gets turned into a frog. A true loves kiss or a kiss from a princess will break the spell. Yes. Boom-bara-bambara. Sometimes, it was Princess and the Frog, the story of Tiana, the sort of latest telling of it, that she

gets turned into a frog as well. The spell breaks, they're happy together. Working class girl. Hot Latino Prince. What more could you want? What more could you want? But let's go for the original. Brown skin, blue eyes?

Yeah, brown princess. Goodness. Goodness, man. You know what they does for the show. The original Grim Brothers version, there's no kiss at all. A spoiled princess drops her golden ball into a well. A talking frog retrieves it for her, demanding she share her meals and bed in return.

She's disgusted, but she agrees, thinking a frog's never going to be able to follow me home. I'm too quick. Well, the frog follows your home. And the frog goes to her father and says, your daughter made me a promise to share her meals in her bed in return for the fetching of her golden ball. And the father, who you may have been able to put together as a king, because his daughter's a princess, says, Well, no daughter of mine breaks I promise to a frog. You've got to let him. I'd be worried about sharing a bed

with the princess if I was a frog or just anyone and they might roll over in their sleep and crush me to death. So tiny. She's so much bigger. So the frog eats from her plate and insists on sleeping beside her and in a fit of fury and being absolutely revolted by it.

She throws the frog against the wall. Splatters? Does it splatter? Does it? The impact. I just imagine him like his little legs. You know, frogs have their little dangly, like, like, like, like those.

sticky gooey things you throw against the window and they go what were those made of? What were those? Were they made of? The handle and the hand on the stretchy? A hand on a streachery. Actually it comes in everything.

Where are those? I want one of those. There were those ones the way that were frog-like and they flipped, flipped, flipped down. They threw them at the window. The body was made of something different but the feet and the hands were gripping. This is good stuff.

I'm asking chat what those were made on. They didn't need much. They don't make toys like they used to. In the 80s and 90s I saw some toys yesterday I went to like a warehouse put on it

this is what we're selling for Christmas I saw some toys did you know there's an expansion pack for Monopoly now and you clip on

you clip on to the corner with the free parking and the go to jail and there's like a mini game I know like a Westfield's mall on top of the jail no the jail

had all this like punishment oh there was a way to get out immediately right and then on the free parking you clicked this thing

onto the side of the monopoly and it was like a wheel and when you lay you spun on it, you could like win additional money. You've got to pay Wilson's like $15 an hour. Yeah, it's the Christchurch edition. Not free parking, not free parking at all.

But they had some modern takes on some old toys. Now, I was Googling something. Wait, did they have super-soakers? Yeah, they did. Battery-powered super-sockers. So you didn't need to pump it. But I'd rather pump because you can't rely on batteries. Taylor, you're on the road at the moment.

You know, you can't rely on batteries. You have to go with your hand. You can't. You've got to pump it. You know those gooey hands? What are my Googling here? You know those gooey hands? Goey hands on a string?

Goey hands on a handle that it's a toy that would slap against the window. It's a toy that would slap against the window and kind of stick. You're asking too much. You're giving it too much. You're over Googling. Excuse me, it's my chat, GBT. I'll treat him with the respect deserves. Ah, sticky slap hands.

The ones you flung at the window, they'd thwack, roll down, pick up every speck of dirt in the room and be ruined in 20 minutes. So dusty. And they get all, yes. It's made from a very soft, stretchy, thermoplastic elastomer. Basically a rubber-like plastic that was plasticised with a type of oily, tacky substance, often mineral oil to give that sticky gooey surface. Okay. The reason they're sticky, the plasticiser, the oil, slowly leeches to the surface,

creating a slightly wet, tacky film. That film gives the toy its magical sticking powers, but also makes it a dust magnet. Good stuff. Why they lose stickiness once dust, lint and tiny fibres stick to that oily stuff, surface it clogs the texture and stops adhesion. You could wash them with warm water and a bit of dish soap to temporarily restore the stickiness until they collect more cat hair.

Great news. There's nothing in here that tells me that cancer it. Cancer causing. Okay, great. Now, back to the frog. Sorry, can we just order three of those online and then we'll move on? Yeah. Okay, back to the frog. It's stuck on the wall like a sticky hand. No, no. She throws it at the wall. The impact shatters the curse and he turns into a

handsome prince. Oh. Wait, so now she wants him. Yeah. Vane. Vane. It was never about what it was on the inside. Yeah, it wasn't. So they're saying, gentleness wasn't rewarded. Violence was carfaces.

You know, like cathartic. Cathartic. The act of it. The transformation comes from confronting disgust head on. Yuck, boo. Yeah, now you're pretty. I'm in. I'm in.

Okay. Smack. Yeah. Well, it was the oldy days. It was the oldy days. When they didn't, back in that day, they didn't even have those sticky hands that went thawak on the window and picked up all the dust. What a miserable life. Also, did anyone else get really told off by their mum for thwack and that on her clean windows

and leaving a greasy film? When mum cleaned her windows, it was no... Oh, such a smack, with a thwacky hand. And she had really whined at the now. I couldn't get through the, what were those... Fly screens. No, not the fly screens. Everyone had those, like, wet interest material.

Oh, the... Nets. What's that stuff? Netting, yeah. The net curtains. Yeah, that stuff. Net curtains. I didn't know what you all about net curtains.

Great for privacy. As long as you didn't have the lights. on at night and not line the neck curtains of privacy but keep the peeping times out during the day, that's for sure. Today's fact of the day is in the original Frog Prince story, she didn't kiss him to break the curse, she hurled him at the wall. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day,

day, day. I do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Play ZM's Fletch, Ron and Hayley Play ZM's Fleshworn and Haley And Haley broadcasting today in Tadonga The 7 Days Tour, it's all over the country Yeah, we kicked things off at the first show last night In Tohanga off to Napier

As soon as I get off this lovely Zoom, you know, my job And heading to Napier, then we're off to Dunedin, then we're off to Invercargill And then a small break before I believe we hit Auckland next week. So everywhere and I think there's still tickets available for most places, 7days.com.com. NZ, if you want to come and see us. It's the gang.

It's the best of the best. DiHenwood. Paul Ego. DiHenwood, Jeremy Corbett, Ben Hurley, Josh Thompson, Justin Smith, Haley Sprow. And I will shout out to Dai Hemwin, who hand-delivered me an iced oat milk latte

and a sausage roll this morning, just now. He's a good man. He's a legend. But he is not helping the vow I made myself. yourself yesterday. Sorry, that was me just re-plugging my mic back and I don't even remember unplugging that. Have I been fiddling with that?

Yeah, you fiddling with that. I don't even know when I'm fiddling anymore. We'll talk to you after the show about your behaviour. There's a name for what's happening in your brain but we don't, you know. Well, they can't diagnose you if they can't catch you. So yesterday, you know, because I tour quite a bit and I've done the seven days tour for the last four years and every time I'm on

this tour, you come back afterwards and you're rinsed. You've eaten 10. You've drunk too much. You get too many schnackies at every petrol station, chalky bars, lollies, in the green room. They just fill it up with mint slices last night. Right. I love a mint slice.

So yeah, it's hard, isn't it, when you're travelling? Hard when you're travelling to stay on track. And in this point in my life, as a newly single woman, it is important to me that I am the hottest version of myself. Okay. And that was a project I started earlier in the year, and I've been letting it slip, and I just wanted to get back on track.

So yesterday I said to myself on this tour, when possible, I will make the healthiest food decisions. Yep. You know, so say we go to a pub for lunch, I'll get the salad and a soda water. Say we have this for dinner. You know, I'm just going to make the healthiest decisions I can. Yep.

And I'll exercise at every centre we go to. I'll look up the gyms ahead of time or I'll do a run or a walk. And that's the plan. And I laid it all out. And so yesterday I get in the van and I've made this vow to myself this morning and 12 p.m., we're in the van.

At 12.20, we pull into a petrol station where I get an arm in gold in five southern chicken bites. Health, okay. That's health. Yeah. And so I eat the five southern chicken bites. I'm saying bites, they are just glorified large nuggets. Yeah.

So I've had five nuggets. And then, so that's 1220, so I'm 20 minutes into the tour. And then at 2.30 we pull into a small stop just out of Tauranga because Justine Smith needs to urinate. Okay. And it's a cafe. And as part of being in the cafe to use the toilet, someone needs to buy something. And I said, well, I'll just come in and have a little lookie. I've got a second arm in gold and a mince and cheese pie.

Okay, right. That was what was acquired there. But that's okay because you could exercise when you got there. So when I get to the hotel, I'll do is I'll blad around, beautiful day in Tauranga. Yeah, climb the mount. Oh, I love a mount on. Beautiful. Yeah, exactly.

So get into the hotel and what I do is I proceed to hop into bed and I have a little snows for 45 minutes. I wake up and now I'm running late for the show so I head to the theatre. And I was like, well, not all is lost, you know. I could rain it in and I'll be good in the green room. Then I get there and I wasn't prepared that there would be mint sliced biscuits. Oh, my God, one of the topped hair biscuits. Topped air biscuits and a pack of licorice all sorts.

Now, what am I supposed to do? Just walk away from the licorice all sorts. You've got to eat them. No, I ate them. entire bag to myself and then I noticed why there was a pack of grain waves now I didn't know that I needed grain waves however grain waves were required

and I ate all the grain waves and then I was like well what I'll do is you know in terms of just sort of raining in the calories of the day because I've gone off track is I won't drink on this first show you know I'll sit this one out and just have aqua so I go into the fridge to see if there's a cool sparkling aqua and there's something sparkling

it's called Prosecco and I proceed to drink the whole bottle over the course of the show. Okay, great, yeah. And we're not going out. You're just explaining how everybody approaches Monday, hoping to be good after the weekend. Yeah. Well, there was a chance to turn it around

because dinner is provided for us every night and the production crew got an Ascanda, you know, like a Turkish mixed meat Ascanda. And I was like, okay, what I could do here is just eat the meat and the salad and I'll leave the rice and all the dips and whatnot. Yeah. But then I realized as the fork was entering my mouth,

the rice and the dips the best bit. So that was the best bit. Famously dry too without the dip. Okay, great. Real dry meal. And then I just want to say I ended the night by coming home and then I was like, you know, don't get like McDonald's Uber Eats, even though you're hungry and it's late. But I did notice, and I'll just show you the box here, at this hotel, hotel on Devonport or something.

Now, there's, there's complimentary snacks. There's no snacks in there, though, Haley. So what you'll see is that's empty now. Oh, so they, when you got into the room, it was already empty, was it? No, no, no, no. there was a little two pack of chocolate chip bickies and two sort of small snack blueberry chips, one chicken, one ready salted. Those were ingested as well and then I went to bed at midnight.

So a great day for you. Yeah, well I was like, you know, we're off to Napier today. I'll start again, but as I mentioned, Dye Hemwood did just drop off a sausage roll to my door and it has been eaten. So we're just doing really well so far. Yeah, great. Okay. Any words of advice for?

Um, just, I'd move my fitness palorini, calorie counting devices to just the third page of the phone, I think, for the apps. I'd bury that for a little while. The ZM Podcast Network play ZN's Fleshhorn and Haley. I used a customer service, 0800 line yesterday. Oh, lovely, yeah. And the lovely... Can you say? Can you share? It's none of your business.

Your beeswax. Oh, you can't do that because now I am... It's not your beeswax. I need some beeswax. You need to mind your own beeswax. It's my beeswax. It's not your beeswax. What's the origins of the saying, mind your own, mind your beeswack? Not, what is it?

Mind your own beeswax. Is it? Is it the same? Mind your own beeswax? Mind your own business. Yeah, it's mind your own business. Mind your own business. That's not a thing.

It is, though. Why is that a thing? It is. I think, I think it's just a play on mind your own business. It sounds like business and beeswax. Yeah, okay. Mind your own beeswax. Is that just a Kiwi thing?

I don't know. When we changed it? I don't know. It might have cocked me rhyming slang. Harry, God, you are the slowest Googler and GTP T. I'm also engaged. We're also engaging in our conversation with you and doing it at the same time

and then this is multitasking at its finest. Is it? Is it? Yeah. Well, Haley's multitasking. She's having quite a disgusting conversation right now on text. I can see it. Oh, stop it.

I was just closing my phone to focus on my job here with you and I'm listening. Mind your own beeswax is a simply a playful, child-friendly twist on the old phrase, mind your own business. It became popular in earlier 20th century America.

There's no evidence of it exists. then before that. There is no historical link to wax making cosmetics or anything dramatic. Okay, well, Haley, mind your own business slash beeswags. I was on an 0,800 customer service line, and the lady was very helpful. She helped me out. I got everything

sorted, and then she said, would you mind staying on the line for the customer service feedback form? And I was like, absolutely. And normally, I mean, he says B, it's not like your time poor, mate. I literally go home, go to the gym. Eadements and go to bed. No, quite often if I'm doing work at home,

this is when I'll do my 0-800 calls because it doesn't matter if they take 20 minutes to answer. Really making the most of that tax dodge on the home office, aren't you? I really am. I really love this home office. So, and I do it, and I'm like five, five, five, there were three questions and I gave her the max. Out of what?

I was going to say, you know what it's like from one to nine. And as soon as I do, I very, really do this, but when I do, I always regret it. Because you've got to listen to the number options and then what is it. is one the highest or is five or ten the highest? They gave me ten as an option the other day. I was like, I'm not pressing ten because if I pressed one and then dilly-dally before zero, it's going to be like, you gave them a one,

so I just gave them a nine. But I did it because she was love that. And then I thought, who actually does this? Because normally I just hang up. And I hang up every time. And part of me feels like it's a bit icky because it's the company like monitoring their employee. And then you could be pissed at whatever they're dealing with.

And it's not their fault. They're just doing their job probably for not much money. It's far more reflects the person you've been dealing with than it does the company. The company would use it to get rid of someone. So that's why I'm always like, it doesn't matter if my issues with the company, I always give the person high marks. Well, that's nice of you. Yeah.

What a saint. Not many people do this. I'm just giving you a saintly round of a world. Well, like, someone's working in a call center and you're like one because you're not happy with like, I don't know, the overall big corporation. Yeah. That's not fair. Yes, and that's not on the individual.

Yeah. No, not at all. We asked if you hang around, if you stick around on the line to complete the quick customer survey, and 88% of you said no. Wow, yeah, okay. I said no.

I cleared to know, but I have, if they've been really good and the ordeal was painless, I'll stick around to give them a good mark, said cat. Yeah. Only if it's been absolutely terrible or really great while I fill out the form, says Alice.

Now that's the problem that's polar, right? No one's sticking around and say, yeah, I'm happy, but I'm not going to like. Yeah. Honestly, I do it. If the custom service has been terrible, I'll only do it. Oh, right, okay. See, you're getting the extremes.

It is that thing, though. In the moment, you get the good service and then you just want to be done. It's like when you come back from a holiday, I never jump on TripAdvisor and give, like, great reviews. Even if I loved it, because I'm like, the holiday's done. I can't be bothered. Oh, yeah, but if somebody helps them. Yeah, if some tour thing or some hotel was gross, you'd write a review then, wouldn't you? If it was feral and I was like, you know, traveller beware, for sure.

Yeah, one extreme or the other. Oh, another podcast in the bag. The plastic bag. Are they back? No, no, still banned. Okay. They never left. That's where you come in with the line, boy.

Boy, man, if you enjoyed that. Okay. Oh, and if you enjoyed it, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell all of your friends. God, I need some sleep. Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley. I'll see.
